Not many miles from Boston, on one
ofthe numerous highways radiating from
that rich metropolis, there stands, and has
stood for more than century and a half,
long, struggling, yet somewhat beautiful
village, such as was common in the days
of our fathers, but is now rapidly passing
away from our midst. In the very GEN.
tire of this hamlet is a mansion even at
this day remarkable, but at the time Of
our story, singularly so, 1t is large,
double two story frame, with an enor.

while he brought no baggage into the
house, saying that he had left his trunks

began to grow shabby, and rs 10 money
was yet forthcoming, he received notice
to leave.
That evening he mounted to his apart

THE BONES OF BoNAPRTE.

Oh leave them in The lonely sea gift isle,
Where the free waves are his sepulchral walls
Nature has raised monumental pile
Worthy the last and bravest OF the Gauls!
Where the low moan Of winds eternal sweep,
And me lanchoy ocean snrges creep,
There lei Napolean sleep!
Men! common men! touch not one slumbering
bone!
The hoarv rock, and not the sculptured stone,
Should Tell of him alone!
Ye robbers Of the grave! Pause and turn pale,
Lest the lond god of storms should smite your sail
And whelm you shrieking in the midnight wave,
To pluck the warriors bones back to their ocean
