A nestling in the little crib, / a soft hand laid upon my head, / A gentle whisper in my ear, / "Mamma I'm turnin into bed!"
Again a nestling in the crib / As down to rest my birdie lay, / I listened, for I thought she spoke / "Huddy up light, I'd heard her say.
Then all was still. We slept again / Till dawn lit up the eastern sky. / Then sang my birdie sweet and clear, / "Now light had tum, and so has I!"

__________________________
Oneida Castle [Oneida Co. NY]: Our village is again cast in gloom by the death of one of our oldest and most respected citizens. Dr. Hulburt G. Wetmore died on Sunday, the 10th inst., and the event seems to require more than a passing notice. He was a descendant of New England parents who settled in Vernon [Oneida Co. NY] about the year 1800 and was the second youngest of a family of ten children and born Nov. 8, 1808. Having made choice of the medical profession, he was graduated at Fairfield Medical College, January 1833, and immediately thereafter settled in Florence, N.Y [Oneida Co. NY] where he married and remained until May 1839, when he removed to our village [Oneida Castle]. In November, 1866, he was severely bereaved by the death of his wife, and he now leaves two sons and a daughter. He held various offices of trust with public acceptance in each place of his residence. He was blessed with a genial, cheerful temperament, unusually fond of social enjoyments and entered into all innocent activities with a zest unusual in a man of his business responsibility. He, also, largely endeared himself to his neighbors and patrons by uniform acts of kindness and sympathy in affliction which greatly adorned his professional life. The write of this (who has known him nearly forty years) has repeatedly known him to render his continued professional services where there was no prospect of pecuniary reward. This confirms the truthful remark made by his neighbors, since his decease "In Dr. Wetmore's death the poor have lost a friend".
