which can be traced directly back on the mares
side, to distinguished imported English Mare.
Farmers, and lovers Of good Horses, are re-
quested To examine this horse before they make
any contracts for their breeding mares. His
action and carriage are very superior, and he is
not surpassed by any Stallion in the country
for trotting.
The owner of this fine horse has been at
much expense toprocure one of the best young
horses in this state, and he is certain that he
has succeeded, as far as muscular power, speed,
beauty and line proportion can be combined in
one horse /; and his stock, which is now 5years
old, bids fair to be the first rate, and commands
as high price us any stock on Connecticut

An affecting incident occurred at Lynn,
on Saturday. A little girl about two years
of age, a child of Mr.. Ingalls,, wandered
away from its parents in the afternoon, and
on the most dilligent search could not be
found during the evening. On'Sunday NOR
ming the search was renewed by many peo-
pie in vain. An intelligent dog belonging to
the family, understanding that something
was wanting, set off in pursuit. In short
time he returned, and endeayored by signif
icant signs 10 induce some one to follow him,
but human sagacty in this instance, as in
many before, was inferior TO canine. Again
he went away and again he returned, and
by repeated winnings and fawnings was at
length successful in making himself under

the little sufferer in swamp, where she
was standing up to her arms in mud and

10 wet leaves, rustling as they hasten by;
The eddying gusts 10 tossing boughs replying,
And ebon darkness filling all The sky
The moon, pale mistress palled in solemn vapor
The rack, swift-wandering through The void above
As mourner by my lonely taper,
Send back to faded hours the plant OF love.
Blossoms Of peace, once In my pathway springing
Where have your brightness and your splendor
And 7aon, whose voice to me swee, as sing

What bond Of full beaiitude enchains thee.

When fairy coors deck the painted tree,
When the vast woodlands seem sea of dowers

YET to behold thee at my lonely side;

And my sad heart gives echo-.she has died

That angel.presence into dust went down;
While yet with rosy dreams her rest was lghiest,
Death from the olive, wove the cypress crown;
Sleep, which no waking knows, oercame her bosom,
O'ercame her large, bright, spiritual eyes;
Spared in her bower connubial one fair blossom
Then bore her spirit 10 the upper skies.
There let meet her, when, lifes struggles over,
The pure Ia love and thought their faith renew,
Where mans forgiving and redeeming lover
Spreads out his Paradise to every view
Let the wild autumn, with its leaves descending,

So my freed soul, no more against fate contendng,

MISCELLANEOUS.
A WALK AMONG THE ToMBs.

There IS something in the spectacle Of a
living generation employed in the selection of
their own tombs that speaks favorably for their
virtue. 1t testifies to rational, rejecting
piety it tells of life unhaunted by the terrors
OF death, of sober thought and serene reckon
ing Of the past day. Our present meditatons
have not unseasonably fallen upon these
topics, and would fain hope that they will
leave US somewhat the wiser at our parting.
The very presence Of this scene, in connec-
ton with the purpose that brought us h,her,
sheds silent instruction on the heart How
does it recall the warning Of scripture, g Go
to now, yet that say to-day or tomorrow we
will go into such city, and continue there a
year, and buy and sell, and get gain; where
as We know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life! 1t is even vapor
that appeareth for little time and then va
nisheth away This grove now untenanted by
single ledger, this upland plain and all these
varied grounds, in the brief space of few
generations, shall become populous dwelling
place Of the dead. Hither then will come the
inmates of your rapidly increasing city, in
their holiday walks, to visit our tombs, and
gaze upon the thick strewed monuments that
shall meet them in every path. Among these
some calm moralist Of life, some thoughtful
observer OF man and his aims, will apply him
self here to study the past-his past, and
while ne fingers over the Inscriptions that
shall tell him ofthe busy crowd who so intent
ly ply what we deem the important labors of
to-day-alas, how shrunk and dwarfed shall
we appear IN ms passing COMMENT! A line
traced by the chlsel upon the stone shall tell
all, and more perhaps than postcrty may be
concerned to know about us and our doings
Which OF us shall reach second genera
ton in that downward journey of fame How
many OF these events which now fill our
minds, as matters belonging to the nations
destiny, shall stand recorded before the eve Of
that aitertime How much Of our personal
connection with present history, these striv
ings TO be noted in the descent of time, these
clamorous lnvocatons Of posterity. these en-
cravings of ourselves and our deeds shall be
borne even to the beginning of the next CEN
fury! Here is theme for human vanity.
Let 1t teach us humility, and in humility that
wisdom which shall set us to so ordering our
lives, that in our deaths those who survive rs
may be instructed how to win the victory over
the grave. Then shall our monuments be
more worthy to be cherished by future rene
rations, and the common doom Of oblivion,
perchance, be averted by better remembrance
than the legends on our tombs. In this anti
cipation we may find something not migrate.
ful IN the thought that while all mortal beings
march steadily onward TO cold obstruction
we sink in our gradual dust upon couch
chosen by ourselves, with many memorials Of
friendship and esteem clustered around our
remains, and that there we shall sleep until the
last summons shall command the dead to rise,
and call US into the presence Of merciful
God. -

BEAUTIFUL SERENADE.

Oh! touch the chords lightly,
For sweetly she slumbers,
And round her plays brightly
A vision Of wonders.
For her dreams are purer
Than the dew drop OF even,
And angels now lure her
To the blue Of their heaven.
The winds gentle breathing
Disturbs not her repose,
Whilst the wild flowers waving
With the dewy-gemm'd rose,
Their sweets are distilling,
And the soft summer air
With fragrance is filling,
And waves over her there.
Sleep on, then, my bright one,
For Dove thee is beaming
The eve-star, whose beauty
Shall gild thy young dreaming.
Then, touch the chords lightly,
For sweetly she slumbers,
And round her plays brightly
A vision of wonders"
