Hark! the bell! Its metal voice is tolling, / With a solitary, solemn tone, / That the Book of Fate has been unrolling, / And a pilgrim from this earth is gone.
Three time three it strikes! A wife, a mother, / Fallen low, when in the prime of years; / Mournful stand around her parents, brother, / Husband, children, left to grief and tears.
But why should thy friends be sad and weeping? / Happy, three times happy is thy lot! / Blessed all who in the Lord are sleeping; / Thine immortal spirit rests with God.
Happy thought! In a frail body dwelling, / Was a soul, intelligent and good, / By Religion's noble impulse swelling / Living, dying with a cheerful mood.
Thus prepared and tried in her probation, / In no Christian duty found remiss, / Christ has raised her to his glorious station, / She has entered into Heaven's bliss

In Jersey City, on Sunday, the 9th inst. of consumption, Randall Cadugan, son of John Cadugan, Esq., of Norwich Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], aged 24 years. [Dec. 19, 1849]
Scarcely four months have elapsed since the immediate inmates of this afflicted family were called upon to bury forever from their sight an affectionate wife and a tender mother, and now the aim of the fatal archer has been directed at the bounding heart of the aspiring youth, and consigned to the silence of the tomb, a dutiful son and a loving brother.
The subject of this notice recently made a tour to the South, hoping that the bracing air of that sunny clime would invigorate his sinking frame, and restore him to health. But no! consumption - that fell destroyer of so many of the hope and promise of the land - had marked him for its own. He returned to Jersey City, but to die among his kindred living there. We are assured, however, that their loss is his gain - that he is gone to meet his sainted mother, and others who have gone before, in that better world, "Where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are forever at rest."
"Weep not his untimely end; / If he sunk, 'twas to ascend."
