From the Baltimore American,

From the Baltimore hmerIcans
THE GRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD.
They grew in beauty side by side,
They fll'd one house with glee--
Their graves are sever'd far and wide,
BY mount and stream md sea
The same fond mother bent at night,
Ger each fair sleeping brow, .
She had each folded flower in sight
Where are those dreamers now!
One midst the forests Of the west
BY dark stream is laid;
The Indian knows his place Of rest,
/ Far 10 the cedar shade.
The sea, ths blue lone sea, hath oae,
lie lies where pearls lie deep; ~
lie was the loved OF all, yet none
Ger his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are dressd
Above the noble slain,
l tie Wrapt iscoIours rouho HIS preasS,
Ona bloOd-ed fold Of Spain.
And one--o'er her the myrtle showers
1 'lts leaves, by soft winds lannl
She faded midst Italian flowers,
The last Of that bright band.
I And parted thus, they rest who playi
Beneath the same green tree,
Whose voices mingled as they prayd
Around ore parent knec!
They that with smiles liz up the hall,
! And cheer'd with song the hearth
Alas for love, if thou vert ALL
And noughtbeyond, on earth! FIJI.
