The Doleful Death and Flowery Funeral of Fancy, is the

quaint title of some elegant verses, by Mrs. ALFRED BARNARD, that may be likened to a garland for the departed, whose flowers, beautiful to the eye, contain instruction within their petals. The elegant lament for Fancy, we suspect, is premature—" the maid is not dead, but sleepeth;" and the "ugly elf" Utility, who is -accused of her death, has only been preparing the world for her better reception.
