I have, therefore, just taken poison, the effects of which I am already beginning to feel. When you read these linos I will already have joined the great silent majority. I •will be a corpse. See that I am decently buried, and shed a silent tear over my tomb in remembrance of the happy days gone by.— Yours dead, George."
