THE GRAVE.

Who has not thought of the dark and
gloomy abode of death-the sepu!chre alike
OF the proud king and humble cottager.
along whose brow the cares and labors OF
years have scattered many furrow-and
whose only hope in the care and turmoil of
" HES bleak waste" in the blessed assur-
ance, perchance, of happy Immortality
1here is something in the silent precincts
OF the marrow house," where all the un-
disturbed he together-the mighty and the
noble IN state, magnificent in their ruin,
ana the one above whose silent breast and
mouiderlng form no stored monument tells
now he ended his existence There is some
thing, say, in all this, which could bow
the mighty to the earth, and cause the
humble slave to walk with a proud heart.
and klndle the eye before him who hates
him. This is a common place theme-but
the mind of man reverts often to it against
his will. There is nothing which gives
such blunt to the distinctions of earth !;
which by reflection will subdue every cause
OF envy, as this simple and important theme.
Look at the mighty Of old; the philosophers
ana statesmen of years gone by! Where
are they? How many forgotten? Their
deeds are slumbering in the damp of obliv-
ION; the wave of time hath swept even
their historians into the houndless sea of
eternity--the fallen wall conceals their sep
ulchres in the lonely ashes of their fore
lathers-and the night winds sigh among
their ruins, where once the song of Joy and
the burst of gladness stole forth from the
heart of glee; and the lustre of many an
eye is shrouded in the deep graves night,
which kindled with love and looked abroad
on the varied scenes of nature with adj
miraton and delight. Alas! the pride of
man has gone down with him into the dust
1t withers when the lamp of this transient
existence filckers into the long slumbering
OF the tomb Where are they who sounded
the clarion of war along the plains of Thes-
sally, the mount of Marathon, and of " Sa-
nose rocky Isle" The trumpet's voice hath
died upon the breeze-the thunders which
it reused hath gone to rest-the castles
which have been subdued and won, on
whose walls the spear glittered and the
cannon pealed, have tumbled into dust; the
ivy fingers about the decaying turrets; the
raven builds her nest in the easement, and
sends upon the air of midnight her desolat-
ing wailing-the owl boots where the song
was heard and man, proud man, who once
fought and won-he who reared the stluct-
ure,-

was "a S4 4 S.; sales from stores S7t; and
Potomac Flour at 4 s5 Yesterday after the re-
CENT of the Northern mai, with adylCes from
Liverpool to the eth May, some parcels changed
hands amongst dealers and spectators at 20.
About l. 900 bbls, were sold fur shipment at 25.
Late in the day there had been none received by
wagons, except such as had been priced before
the receipt of the mail. We therefore omit our
usual quotation of the wagon price.
We give below, from the New York Journal
of Commerce, Review of that Flour Market for
the last week, up to Saturday. The receipt OF
the last advices from Europe, on Monday, must
have increased the uLl ness, not further reduced
prices:
Corn Erchange.-The Flour Market was, so
far as sales were concerned, extremely heavy
throughout; all the efforts of factors accomplish
ed but very little. The sales on Saturday were
at S5a5l2i for NewYork and common Southern.
and we heard of two sales of Western Of fair
brands; 500 bbls in all at o.. These prices,
therefore, we quote; though various sales were
made. during the week, at higher rates
Yet at S. $, s5 it is impossible to sell except
in a small way, indeed about as much may be sold
at one price as another, the purchases being on
~ of small parcels wanted Immediately Large
quantities are still delivering on the contracts Of
last winter, and shipping for account ct maru
facturers and contractors. Fancy brands OF
Western 5Oa5 rs and some hold still higher.
A parcel of Western fine middlings of extra
quality sold at 81 629. Rye Flour and Corn
Meal maintain steady prices. Very little Wheat
arrived, so that we have not sales by which to hx
prices, but our quotations are about what could
be obtained. Northern Corn sold at IS "a cts.
Southern 60 cts; for Rye 70 81 cts was the clos
ing price, Oats 40 Cts.-JOur. Com.
