Full text: 32 THE DIARY OF ADOLPHUS GAETZ Where sleep the loveliest and the best. Another year has fled, and many a cheek is pale! And low lies many a youthful head, and loud is many a wail— For those on whom it dawn'd so bright, Whose day of life is set in night. January, 1857 "Pause, Reader pause! a moment, stay; Oh trifle not your time away! Another year has quickly past; Perhaps this one may be your last. "The present moment seize: for all beside Is a mere feather on the torrent's tide." [Note,—Mr. William Gaetz, son of the keeper of this Diary, says that these verses throughout the Record, were the work of his father.] Friday, 30th,—The two packets arrived from Halifax with a number of passengers; among them were seven German emigrants. Came for the purpose of obtaining employment. February, 1857 W inter, dread winter reigns! each joy o'ercasts; I nvolv'd in tempests, arm'd with piercing blasts! N attire's lock'd up, whole rivers as they run, T o flint converted, mock the feeble sun. E nrob'd in fleecy garb, the fields are bright, R evealing to the eye, one boundless shining white. Tuesd. 3rd,—Intelligence received here to day by Telegraph, that two men, (Mate and seaman), belonging to the Schooner "Brilliant", of this port, and owned by Lewis Anderson, were washed overboard in a gale when three days out, bound for West Indies. Wednesd. 4th,—Yesterday at Mahone Bay, a pair of Oxen, while haul- ing a sled with a load of flour from a vessel that was discharging on the ice, fell through the ice and were drowned. Friday, 6th,—This evening a Musical entertainment was given at the Temperance Hall, by professor Wm. Bill and his pupils. A number of Sacred and Secular pieces were sung to the great satisfaction of the large audience in attendance Tuesday, 10th,—Married yesterday evening by the Revd. H. L. Owen, Dr. Chas. Aitkin,43 to Ellen Oxner, daughter of the late George Oxner. ,
