POETRY
EPITAPII.

The following beautiful lines, from the pen of Tho
mas Moore, inscribed on Tomb stone erect
ed in the Churchyard of Cheadle in Stafforelshire,
to the memory of his friend Joseph Atkinson, Esq.
Of Melheld, in the county Of Dublin, who died
whilst on visit in that vicinity, few years ago:
1t ever lot was prosperously cast
IT ever life was like the heightened flow
OF some sweet muslc-sweetness to the last
Twas his, who mourned by many, sleeps below.
The sunny temper, bright where all strife,
The simple heart that mocks at worldly wes;
Light wit that plays along the calm OF life,
And stlrs its languld surface into smiles.
Pure charity that comes not in shower,
Sudden and loud, expressing what it feeds
But like the dew, with grateful silent power,
Felt in the bloom it leaves among the meads
The happy grateful spirit that improves,
And brightens every gift by fortune given,
That wanders where it will with those it loves
Makes every place home, and home heaven
All these were his-Oh! thou who read'st this stone
When for thyself-thy chdren-to the sky
Thou humbly prayest-ask this boon alone,
That ye like him may ve-hke him may die.
THOMAS MOORE.
The following beautiful lines are from the pen of
WAITER ScorT.
The rose is farest when tits budding new,
And hope is brightest when it dawns from fear;
The rose is sweetest washed with morning dew,
And love is lovelest when embalmed with tears
Q, wildng rose whom fancy thus endears,
bid your blossoms in my bonnet wave,
Emblem of HosE and FEAR through future years
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1826-09-23

THE TWO GRAVES.
IT'S bleak wild hill, but green and bright
In the summer warmth, and the midday light,
There's the hum of the bee and the chrp Of the
wren,
And the dash of the brook from the alder glen;
There's the sound of bell from the scatterd flock,
And the shade of the beech lies cool on the rock,
And fresh from the west is the free winds breath,
There's nothing here that speaks of death
Far yonder where orchards and gardens lie.
And dwellings cluster, its there men die.
They are born, they die, and are buried near,
Where the popuouS graveyard llghtens the bier
| For strict and close the ties that bind
| In death, the children of human kind
| Yea, stricter and closer than those of life,
| lis neighborhood that knows no strife
| They noiselessly gathered friend and foe
| TO the still and dark assemblies below,
! Without froWn smile they meet,
! Each pale and calm in his winding sheet
In that sullen home of peace and gloom,
| Crowded like guests III 4 banquet room.
! Yet there graves in this lonely spot,
| Two humble graves-but | find them not.
have seen them,-eghteen years past
! Since ! found their place i'll the brambles last,
| The place, where, fifty winters ago,
| All aged man in his locks of snow,
And an aged matron, withcred with years,
| Were soemnly laid, but not with tears
For none who sat by the light of their hearth,
| Beheld their collins covered with earth,
| Their kindred were far, and their children dead,
| When the funeral prayer vas codly said
| Two low green hillocks two small grey stones,
| Rose over the place that hcld their bones
| But the grassy hillocks are levelled again
| And the keenest eye night search in vain,
| 'Mong brars ant, ferns and paths Of sheep,
For the spot where tie aged couple sleep.
Yet we'll might they lay, beneath the soil
Otthis lonely spot, that man oft toll,
And trench that strong hard mould with tie spade
Where never befoe grave made
For he hewed the dark old woods away,
And gave the vrs in fields to the day,
And the gourd aid the bean, beside his door,
Bloomed where their flowers ne'er opened before.
And the maize stood up, and the bearded rye
Bent low in the breath of an unknown SKI.
IT'S said tint when life is ended here,
| The spirit is Iorne to a distant sphere;
That it visitsits earthly home no more.
Nor looks OF the haunts it loved before,
But why slpud the bodess soul be sent
Far off, to .long, long Punishment
Talk not d the light and the living green!
1t will pre for the dear familiar scene; rhold
1t will yarn in that strange bright world to be.
The roc! and the stream it knew of old

THE OLD MAN.
Why gaze ye on my hoary hair,
Ye children young and gay
Your locks, beneath the blast of care,
Will bleach as white as they.
| had mother once like you,
Who DER my pillow hung,
kiss'd from my cheek the brlnydew,
And taught my f.ltering tongue.
She, when the nightly couch was spread,
Would bow my infant knee,
And place her hand upon my head,
And kneeling pray for me.
But then there came a fearful day.
sought my mothers bed,
Till harsh hands bore me thence away,
And told me she was dead.
pluck'da fair white Rose, and stole
TO lay it by her side,
And thought strange sleep enchain'd her soul.
For no fond voice replied
That eve, knelt me down in wo
And said lonely prayer
Yet still my temples seem'd to glow
As if that hand were there
Years hed-and left me chiIdhood's jov,
Gay sports and pastimes dear,
l rose wild and Maynard boy,
Who scorn'd the curb of fear.
Fierce passions shook me like a reed,
Yet, ere at night slept,
That soft hand made my bosom bleed,
And down fell and wept
Youth cane-the props of virtue reel'd -
But oft at days decline,
A marble touch my brow congeaPl-
Blest mother was it thine -
In foreign lands travelled wide,
My pulse was bounding high,
Wee spread her meshes at my side.
And pleasure lur'd my eve
Yet, still that hand, so soft and cold,
MAINTAINED its mystic sway,
As when amid my curls of gold
With gentle force it lay.
And with it breath'd a voice of care
AS from the lowly sod,
"My SONNY only one-beware
Nor sin against thy God"
Ye think, perchance, that age hath stole
My kindly warmth away,
And dlmm'd the tablet Of the soul
Yet when with lordly sway,
This brow the plumed helm displayed
That guides the warrior throng,
Or beauty's thrilling fingers stray'd,
These manly locks among,
That hallowed touch was meier forgot
And now, though Time hath set
His frosty seal upon my lot,
These temples feel it yet
And if ere in heaven appear,
mothers holy prayer
A mothers hand, and gentle tear,
That pointed to Saviour dear
