(first verse)
Not a laugh was heard or a joyous note
As our friend to the bridal we hurried;
Not a wit discharged his farewell shot
At the bachelor just to be married.

Slowly and sadly we marched down
From the top of the uppermost story,
And we never have heard from or seen the poor man
Whom we left not alone in his glory.

We have copied the above with extreme regret.  We are very sorry that the

world. – However, we respect her for the good she did when “one of us,” and 
cheerfully write her epitaph, now that she is no longer one us:
Fair Julia lived a temperate maid,
Preached temp’rance ditties night and morn;
But still her wicked neighbors said
She broke her pledge and took A. Horn.
