Right onward she went till she staggered and dropped, But her limbs only failed when her heart pulse had stopped; May the steed that comes nigh her in courage and fire; Carry rider more worthy to make her heart tire; Though she saved him, and died to prove what she could do, Yet her life was most precious by far of the two. Eliza Cook.	THOMAS STEVENS INVENTOR & MANUFACTURER, COVENTRY & LONDON.
