.:.-.i.WU I'iil) I'UkiTKY. From the Providence Gazette. OLD GRIMES. Tune John GUfiin was a Citizen.1 Ol 1 Grimes is dead That good old man Wc never shall see more ! He ticdto wear a long black coat, All button'd down before. His heart was open as the day; His feelings all were trie; His hair was some inclined to greyHe wore it in a queue. "Whene'er was heard the voice of pain, His heart with pity burn'd The large round head upon his cane, Frtun .vry was turn'd. Thus ever prompt at pity's call. He knew no base design His eyes were dark, and rather small, His nose was aquline. He liv'd at peace with all mankind, In friendship he was true; His coat had pocket-holes behind His pantaloons were blue. Unhurm'd the sin which earth pollutes, He pass'd securely o'er; An.l never wore a pair of boots, For thirty years or more. But poor Old Grimes is now at rest, Nir fears misfortune's frown. Hi h id double .breasted vest The stripes run up and down. He modest merit saught to find, And pay it its desert. He h id no m dice in his mind IN raffles on his shirt, H.S neighbors he did not abuse, .V ib sociable a . i g t . , He wore large bu. kles in his shoes, And chang'd then every Jay. His knowledge, hid from public gaze. He did not bring to view . or made a noise town meeting days, As many people do. His worldly goods he never threw In trust to fortune's chance s; But liv'd (as all his brother's do) In easy circumstances. Th is undist irb'd by anxious care, His peaceful moments ran; And every body said he was A fine old gentleman. Good people all, give cheerful thought To Grimes's memory. As doth his cousin, Esek Short, Who made tlv nrtrv.
