Within its bosom calm and deep,

For years and years they've slumber'd on
Nor woke they with the rising sun.
Dd'st ever go there, when the day
Had westward fed in rich array,
When all is qiuet, not sound
Is circling on the air around!
There's no cathedral's dusky pile,
Noiong;a and dim half mystic aisle,
Nor rich stained oriel's shadows rare,
TO fiji the soul with holy fear;
Nor we'll trained walk with shrubbery lined,
Each wandering step by it confined;
In wild festoons, the crooked vine
Swings snake-like, down from yon dead pine;
And here mighty oak upturned,
Lies rotting on the earth it spurned;
Beneath your foot there is mound
Aud here's another, all around
They scattered lie, nor is there aught
To tell the tale, if it were sought.
Those walls that mossy fronts uprear,
Keep kindred dust together there;
AS down life's stream they once did glide,
They rest forever side by side,
So quiet is it, and so free
From earthly taint, it we'll might be
The Quaker's chosen spot of rest
For that long sleep, the last, the best;
Nor would it shock those men of old,
Who first made there, that bed so cold
How oft, since then, his shadowy steed
The direful king has spurred with speed
He we'll may know, since it is told,
Its limits twice the hring hold.
You know the earth around is teeming
With what was life, in various seeming;
And one might deem the very air,
With spirits past, was peopled there;
And that they iushed their airysbus m
Till you had gone--then forth come
We scarce can think, that stopped for aye
as So much lfe--it could not die
1t has only left tine human face,
And hangs above, its dwelling place
Through sin and sorrow, woe and care,
We ever look on death with fear;
Yet with firm and onward stride
He comes along-he's by our side;
Age breaks the bow that youth has strung;
1t cracks the voice that tuneful sung;
1t bows the head, it bends the knee;
Through its thick film, we death can see.
Yet why should we with shuddering head,
Start trembling back from his sure treadl
We've lived our hour, we've laughed an
lov'd,
The root is dead, the tree is moved.
Man, beast and flower all have their day,
And all alike must pass away;
Bright, yellow fields of ripening gran, .a
The reaper cuts and counts his gain,
Nature those fields the reaper gave,
And deaths own harvest is the grare.

One of the hardest bones which the brokers have to
pick just now are the Indiana bonds the great difficulty
is to distinguish between the receivable and the non.
receivable. A law was passed at the late session author,
izing the receipt Of bonds in payment Of public works
to be sold. Under this law, purchases OF bonds have
been made to invest in the works. 1t is now moo.ed
that those bonds for which a full equivalent has not heen
received by the State, will not be received in payment
for the works. Hence a good deal of hustering among
the holders. All the Slate works are, we understand,
up fer sale-the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad
among others.

The utmost anxiety prevails among mercantile men

/ shipping In Por~t-stsgnatlon I'm Business
We have beer at some trouble to obtain u correct
list of vessels now in port. We give below the
names of the square riggers. leaving the two hum
| dred and fifty schooners and other small craft, to
take care OF themselves.
We find the number OF vessels to be unpreceden-
| tally large.
1t appears that there are seventy ships, thirty
four barques, niEety.fve brigs, and two hundred
and fifty schooaers in this city, and sixty-one Of
all classes lying at Brooklyn, making In round num-
bers, an aggregate OF five hundred vessels in the wa
tiers Of the southern district Of New York. One
third OF these, or upwards of one hundred and sc.
venty vessels, ARE lying idle, with no captains, no
crew, no freights, and no prospect Of getting any
for some time to come. Most of this number are
for sale, and no buyers in the market.
This is truly a sad sight, and leads us to reflect as
to the cause of so much stagnaticn in trade. 1t can
not be denied, bu. hat this country was never in d
more healthy condition internally than now, with
large and increasing crops every year. Yet, here
we see hundreds of vessels lying idle and rotting at
our docks, for the want OF some business TO send
them to sea.
We have in this country every element for regen-
Grafton, but in consequence ofthe utter prostration of
all confidence produced by the demoraiizing effect Of
party faction at Washington, no land is in sight,
and our merchants are knocking about on the big
sea of trouble, with weeks here and there, every
day for the sake of a variety.
1t is a gross outrage upon the people, for Congress
to cripple the energies of this great nation in the
manner it has done, and unless its members give up
all faction and go to work like men for the benefit Of
all, they had better ad journ, go home to their wives,
and cultivate potatoes.

THE "SArLoRs' HoME."-The extensive building recent
" erected in Cherry street, in the Seventh ward, by the
seaman's Friend Society intended as a Sailors Boarding
House, capable of accommodating some several hundred
seamen, appears to present a question for serious consid.
GRAFTON by those who believe that the business Of any
community can be sufficiently well managed without
the aid or interference of an incorporated associatisn.-
There must be something at the bottom Of this matter,
more than is presented to the naked eye, under the garb
~ofcharity and sympathy for the professed advancement
ofthe interests Of poor Jack alone. The institution, we
understand, is to have connected with it q clothing es.
tablishment, to supply all the sailors who may reside
within the building while on shore, as well as a boot
and shoe store, grocery store, sc. &c, thus combining
within its own grasp every thing that they may neccs-
sarily need. Furthermore, we learn that the managers
leagued with certain merchants whe may have an inter-
est in the monopoly, intend to urge objections to the EN-.
ployment Of seamen who do not hail from their head
quarters. This will materially interfere with the rights
of those who having families or friends in the city may
prefer remaining with them while on shore. The con.
centration Of such a body of men, with the influence that
can be exercised over them, in a political sense, will just.
ly alarm those who may conceive their political rights
infriuged upon; and from the fact that another building
is to be erected In the Fourth ward, Of nearly similar
extent, Is we understand, politicians will not be slow to
decipher an imaginary or real cause Tor such coneentra.

and Battery the plaintiff had borght at defendants
store, No. Ito Chatham street, a scant pattern Of cloth for
pantaloons, and returned a few days afterwards to get q
small quantity more. The defendant charged him an
extra price, as a bad remnant would be left. The plain.
tiff paid il, but called him a cheat, &c, and was elected
from the store. When in the street, Bach, who is a
0erman) repeated some expression, when the defendant
followed, and showed him, but did not throw him down.
Bach, apparently, is much the strongest man Of the two.
He e~nquired " here he could find a police officer, being
much excited, and finally brought this suit.
The Court remarked to the Jury that appeals TO them
in such cases were deserving of serious consideration
as, If treated lightly, mel would be apt to take the law
into their own hands. The ~de,endant had q right to
eject the plaintiff from his store, but NOT IL follow him
