Hercnlean Memory There is now living at
Martha's Vineyard, a man by the name Of Richard
aon who is truly rema' kabIe for his uncommon
strength of m, mory lie is man Of average in
iellects, but makes pretentions to science. It
has been often said that he can repeat the whole
Bible. The writer met him, no, long since at
Chilmarh and being DESTROYS to ascertain the truth
OF falsehood OF the stories which have often been
told OF his gigantic memory, requested him to re-
peat chapter or chapters from some part of the
bible. This, with much apparent reluctance, he
consented to DO. He frs, repeated he 9Th and 9th
chapters Of the Acts Of the Apostles which he did
with greater accuracy than most persons can read
them.
He next repeated part of the book of Jonah
with similar success. Being asked if he could yer
repeat the whole bible. he replied in the negative
hut modes'ly owned that he could repeat pretty
largely from almost every part He can repea,
from other books, from Newspapers, SC with the
same facility. The writer has no doubt that Mr.
r. could easily repeat so or 100 chapters, in drec,
succession, from almost any part of the bible
Perhaps there have been but few men since the
zine Of The celebrated Hortenslus, possessed of {
memory like that Of Mr.. Richardson.

TIE GRAVES OF TILE PATRIOTS.



Here rest the great and good--herc they repose
After their generous toll A sacred band,
They taxi their sleep together, while the year
Comes with its early flowers TO deck their graves,
And gathers them again, as Winter trowns
Theirs is no vulgar sepulcre--green sods
Are all their monument. and yet IT tells
A nobpr history, than piilared plies
Or the eternal pyramids. They need
No statue nor inscription to reveal
Their greatness. 1t is round them, and the joy
With which their children tread the hallowed ground
That holds their venerat d bones, the peace
That smiles all they fought for, and the wealth
That clothes the land they rescued these though mute,
AS feeling ever is when deepest, these
Are monuments lasting, than the flames
Reared to to the kings and temgois OF old
Touch not the ancient e!ms, that bend their shade
Over their lowly graves btneath their bougls
There is solemn darkness, even at noon,
Suited to such visit at the shrine
OF serious liberty. No tactlous voice
Called them unto the field of generous fame,
But the pure consecrated love OF home
No deeper feeling sways us, when il wakes
In all its greatness 1t has told itself
To the astonished gaze OF awe-struck Kings,
At Marathon at Bannockburn, and here,
Where first patriots sent the invader back
Broken and cowed. Let these green Gins be all
To tell us where they fought, and where they lie
Their feelings all nature, and they need
No art to make them known. They live in us,
While We are like them, simple, hardy, bold,
Worshpping nothing but our own pure hearts,
And the one universal Lord They need
No column pointing TO the heaven they sought
To tell US OF their home. The heart itself,
Lett to its own free purpose, hastens there
And there alone reposcs. Let these ems
Bend their protecting shadow DER their graves
And build with their green roof the only fame,
Where nay gather on the ha!lowed day,
That rose to them in blood, and set in glory
Here let us meet, aud while our motioniess lips
Give not sound, and all around is
In the deep sabbath Of a heart too full
Tor words or tears here let us strew the sod
With the first flowers OF spring. and make to them
An Offering Of the plenty, Nature gives,
Aud ;hey have rendered ours perpetually.
