q
conservation of the Cemetery near Albany
New York:
When LIES last breath has family cbb'd away,
And nought is left but cold unconscious clay,
Still doth Affection bend in anguish deep
O'cr the pale brow, to fondly gaze and weep.
What though the soul has scared in chainless flight
Round the spurn'd FRAME still plays sacred light,
4 haliow'd radiance never 10 depart,
Pour'd from its so = s0is1 ne stricken lesrt
Mel to thc ais should then DC given the dead,
Not to the fame, not to cold oceans bed;
But to the earth-the earth from whence il rose,
There should the frame be left to its rcpose;
There the great Mother guards her holy trust,
Spreads the green mantle DER the sleeping dust
Slherc glows the sunshnc-thcre the branches wave,
And birds yield song flowers fragrance the grave
There oft to hold communion do stray
There droops our mourning memory when away
And cen when years have pass'd, homew ard feet
Seek first with eager haste that spot to greet
And the fond hope lives in breast,
When death too claims U.S. there dust shall rest
All these fair grounds with lavish beauties spread,
Natures sweet charms--wc give them to the dead;
Those swelling uplands, whence the rapturcd sight
Drinks in the landscape smiling rich and bright
Woodlands and meadows trees and roofs and rls,
The glittering river aud the fronting hills
That nesting dell with bowery limbs o'crhead
And this, its brother, opening TO the tread,
Each with its naiad tripping low along,
Striving to hide but freely offering song
This sylvan nook with pendent branches round,
BY this day rendered consecratcd ground
Those old deep woods, where nature wild and rude
Has built throne for musing solitude
Where sunshine scarce finds way to shrub and moss,
And the green fractured trunk lies prone across
These winding paths that lead the wandering feet,
Through minister aislcs and arbors dim and sweet
To soothc thy discord into harmony,
Oh solemn, solemn Death, we dedicate to thee.
Here will his steps the mourning husband bend
With sympathzing Nature for his friend;
In the low murmur Of the pine he'll hear
The voice that once music to his car;
In the light waving Of the bough he'll view
The form that sunshine around him threw.
As the reit mother threads each lcafy bower,
Her infants looks will smile from every flower
Its laugh will echo in the warbling glce
OF every bird that fits from tree to tree !;
} In the dead trunk laid PROSTATE by the storm
The child will see its perish'd parents form;
And in the signing of the evening breath
Will hear these faltering tones, late hushed in DEATH
Through these branchd paths will Contemplation wiad
And grave wise Natures teachings his mind
As the white gave stones glimpacr 10 his eye,
A solemn voice will thrill him, ''Mou must die -
When Autumn's tints are glittering in the air,
That voice will whisper 10 his soul, "prcparc;
When Winters SHOWS spread DER knoll and dell,
SOh, this is death!' that solemn voice will swell
But when with Spring, streams leap and blossoms wave
'Hope, Christian hoe twill say "therc's life be on
the gravel"

More than half Of the current wit of the
day is originated in the Western country. A
late Missouri paper relates the following an
ecdote of an eminent legal gentleman in that
State:
"Being once opposed TO Mr.. S., late
member OF Congress, he remarked as follows
to the jury, upon point of disagreement be-
tween them Here my brother S. and
differ. Now this is very natural. Men sci :
dom see things i'll the same light: and they
may disagree an opinion upon the simplest of
principles of the law, and that very honestly :;
while, at the same time, neither can see any
earthly reason why they should. And this is
merely because they look at different sides
of the subject, and do not view it in all its
bearings. Suppose, for Illustration, man
should come in here, and boldly assert that
my brother SIS head (here he laid his
hand very familiarity upon the large chuckIe-
head oil his opponen) is a squash !, OH the
other hand, should maintain, ard perhaps with
equal confidence, that it is head Now here
would be dItierence-undoubedl all hon
est diilerence--ol opinion. We might argue
about ii till doomsday, aud never agree You
often see men arguing upon subjects as empty
and trifling as this ! But a third person COM
ing in, and looking at the neck and shoulders
that support it, would say at once had rea-
son OH my SIDE; for If il was not a head, it
at least occupied the place of one, and stood
where head ought TO be- All this was ut
tered in the gravest and most solemn manner
imaginable, and the effect was rres;slibly lu-
dicrous."

An Englishn,an has been fined thousand
rubles by the Russian authorities i'm ST. Pc
tersburg. for throwing stone at the statue of
Peter the Great.-LriSh Paper.
A similar case says Philadelphia paper.
occurred at ST. Petersburg in 1880. A younS
American genileman, the agent of mercan.
tile house in Boston, having dined out in that
city, got little excited with wine, and on his
return TO his lodgings was obliged to cross
Admiralty Square, on one side of which the
equestrian statue of Peter the Great is situated.
a thought struck him as he looked up d, the
statue that he would like to take ride along
with the old gentleman. Upon the impulse
oil the moment, and without thinking of the
consequences, he clambered over the iron rail-
ings which enclose the statue, assembled the
enormous pedestal rock, and mounted the ei
gantlc bronze horse, behind the Gar Peter.
lie had hardly got comfortably seated before
he was ordered ircm his elevated position by
some oil the numerous police officers who are
constantly on the alert in that great city, and
taken into custody. The ambitious Young
man was taken before the authorities, and fin
ed five thousand rutles. Upon his remon-
strallng at the severity Of the penalty, the
Judge who imposed the fine, with quizzical
gravity remarked, ''persons who ride with
great men must expect to pay a great price.n

TRUE FEMALE NOBILITY.

who tolls and sweats in unrepining mood
a,aona her ~ -haircd ci,ldr.n, and presents
them, morning and evening, as offerings oil love
to her husband, IN rosy health and cheerful
cleanliness, is the naost exalted of her sex.
Before her shall the prondest dame bow her

dwell with her forever. II there is one pros-
pect dearer than another, TO the soul of man
If there is one act more likely to bend the
proud and inspire the broken hearted-it is
for smiling wife to meet her husband at the

ii stirs up the Tired blood of an exhausted man
when he hears rush of many feet upon the
