THE GRAVE.

stand beside a1owiy grafes
Ewes gentle wind Is whispering by;
And in the blue ethereal wave,
The stars have set their watch on high.
And who art thou, now slumb'ring here,
In undisturbed and peaceful rest'
For whom is shed the mourning tear,
And heaves the fond and sorrowing breast!
Bright being OF earth's changing hour:
Too soon was velled thy morning sun.
AS fades some fair and lovely flower,
Thy golden sands Of life were run.
Thou vert too sngel-like to dwell
Amid life's scenes so dark and drear.
Where the glad sounds which rise, but swell
The dirge Of sorrow and of fear.
And though thy loss we deeply mourn,
Hope points with seraph smile above,
Where we shall meet beyond earth's bourne,
To taste the joys of endless love.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The Rev. George B. Cheever, in his
recent address before the New England
Soc;ety, insNew York, spoke of Slavery
as the growth OF bad seed early sown IN
this land. and threatening terrible danger
10 our national prosperity and free ins!itn-
tions.
Elihu Eurritt, the learned blacksmith,
in recent lecture before the Mercantile
Association in New York, likewise bore
bold testimony against the peculiar IN
stiIuilon. Thus do fragmentary echoes
of truth reach~the ears OF this deludee

FIRE IN NEWBERN-The town of pFawbern
NC, has been visited with another destruc-
tive fire. The NeWbernian of the 9Th instant
states that " between two and three O'Clock
this morning, our citizens were aroused by
the alarm note of fire, which had scarcely
died upon our ears since the severe visitation
in April last, and on repairing to the spot,
we discovered that the fire had originated in
the store kept by Mr.. T. Williams, on Craven
street this had yielded to the devouring ele-
ment. and another and yet others followed,
until ID store houses had been levelled to the
ground. TIE fire progressed to the corner OF
Craven and Pollock streets, and up Pollock
street, battling all effort to suppress il, until
it had reached the brick dwelling in the occu-
pancy of Mrs. Richardson. Twice before had
this building stayed the progress of the de-
vouring flame, and now it proved true in the
time of our emergency. This is only one of
ten thousand instances, in which brick build
lngs have shown their superiority over wood
en- tenements. The amount of loss does not
exceed $4,000, not more than a tenth
perhaps the loss of the former fire, vet felt
considerably by some, and shocking enough
upon the back of that. That all was done
under the circumstances to arrest the flames,
is not saying too much, but we are mortified
in being compelled to acknowledge that for
The want of proper organization, We are not
in a condition to contend with the angry ele-
ment /; and yet We would scarcely hazard a
suggestion or an exhortation on that subject,
believing, even under existing circumstan-
It would amount to about as much as
a bucket of water upon the flames
ascending from the IA store-houses lust de-
noIished,"
