Excerpt from Literary Remains of Joseph Appleton Barrett and Emily Maria Barrett The following Literary Remains are from the pens of a young gentleman and lady, endowed with singular talents, modesty, and moral worth. An early death has closed the door forever to that career of honor and of usefulness, for which, by reason of these endowments, they seem to have been destined. These compositions, over which, and the souls whose offspring they are, the Fell Destroyer can exert no power, have by the hand of affection been gathered into the present volume. Now that their bodies have vanished from among us, and their spirits returned to their heavenly homes now that their voices no longer fall upon our ears, and their good ex ample shines no more around our paths, this collection of their literary efforts we have deemed a worthy tribute to their memory, as most surely does it afford a pleasing con solation to our own hearts. Intellectual flowers they are, cultivated in the early spring time of their authors' ex istence. They have not around and in them the appear ance of maturity. They do not challenge public scru tiny. They have sprung up from youthful hearts. They have the simplicity, and freshness, and purity of youth, and over them has death shed an interest, tender and melancholy. Flowers we have called them, but we trust, that not like earthly flowers, will they fade and decay, but long abide green and flourishing in many memories.
