THE DESOIATE.
ny GEO. W. REEDER.

Thou freezest up the fountains of the heart,
Oh loneliness-thou winter of the soul
Lfe's dreams-love's golden gores all depart,
When down the cheek no more the bright tears roll
And, oh the grief of those who cannot weep,
Like the broad, still at night, is dark aud deep
But murmurless!
The roscboom on the lip of laughing mrlh
Turns 10 ashes when it rails at sorrow!
Then mock them not-he desolae of the earth,
Whose souls no hue from hope may borrow
From mem'rys mount they view the vale OF years,
And see their hearts below, frozen by their tears;
Mrrored on ice
Oh how the red tides in the bosom moan
When kind words by the desolate are spoken!
There's such sweet sad music in the tone
or voice, when the loving heart is broken
But never them smile I'd sooner trace
The starlight shining on dead mans face
So ghostly pale!
And, oh ye loved! Ye have souls like suns,
That with thousand joyous coors weave
Robes for each thought and DER each wave that runs
Within lifes crimson arch a rainbow leave
Turn not with smile from the lonely man
But think his spirit once a fairy realm did span
As bright as yours!
Loose the slken cord--break the golden bowl
And let lfe's lamp no more by hope be fed,
Then the true Gethsemnne of the soul
We walk, and then IN sorrows lat page read
Still, for the feet that fcs sharp horns have trod,
There is balm, and for the broken heart thank God
grave at last!

THE UNRECORDED GRAVE.

Who restcth here?
Manhood-hat clored in its pride and might?
Beauy-with check of love and eye of light
1.'"---wth its urrow and its look of care
\ outh-with It's open smile and sunny mar
Genlus-with fiery glance and naughty brow
Compelled before mghtier one TO bow?
Who restch here?
In manhood stricken in its hour of Pride!
Hath manhood fallen in the battle tide
When banners streamed along the golden sky
When rushed the war horse in his majesty
When arm met arm-when life was waged with life
When foe sought foe and quaiIed no, at the strife!
Rests manhood here?
Who reseih here?
Beauty, with pleasant glance and lip Of bloom
With voice of music-breath of sweet perfume
Some gentle heart that beamed from ewes of mirh.
And shed its radiance round the happy hearth?
Some youthful form that may no longer stand
To greet with smiles of love her fellow band?
Rests beauty here?
Who resteth here?
Genius with saddencd face and laurel crown,
Wlihcred before the worlds naughty frown?
Some enid o song whose name sua yet be stlrreu
Where musics tones and beau,y's lay are heard?
Restcth he here? Oh let him still slcpp on,
Happier than though worlds applause were won!
Who ros,eth here!
VIII ,se race is run? Whose pilgrimage is DER?
Whose voice is gone that may be heard no more?
know not; yet, methinkS some mark should be,
To tell the world whose resting place we see;
That, passing by we may rejoice or fear,
Smile, in bright hope, or shed the sorrowng tear!

AN EXECUTION IN SAvoY.-An execution
took place recently at Thonon, small town
of Savoy, situate on the banks of the river
Rhone. No such fearful scene as a public
execution had ever been witnessed in tins
calm and quiet little town within the memo.
ny of man, and consequently it would be dit
6cult to describe the horror which the fatal
preparations for punishment excited amongs,
the inhabitants at large. Nobody would sup
ply the executioner with the necessary arii-
Giles. The various marchands positively re-
fused to furnish this unfortunate Jack Ketch
with the wood, the iron, and the cords which
he wanted, in order TO erect the gbbet.
They only yielded at length to the stern de-
mands of the law; and even then they re-
fused to take the price of blood, as it were,
by making the authorities present of the
necessary instruments and apparatus, for
which no money whatever was allowed to be
accepted. A woman who kept grocer's
shop, being required TO supply certain
length of rope, shut her ewes and cried out,
" Take what you want, but do not bring
any thing back, or pay any money" All
the journeymen carpenters had refused ia
labor in the erection Of the fatal eibbei; and

Gross OUTRAGE. An frishnan named
Harris, employed in Mr.. Dunap's Brewery,
and who lives at Port Schuyler, Watervlic,,
was assailed and sevcraly injured on Sunday
night, in the following wise. He had retr-
ed to bed, and about eight o'clock some one
knocked at the door. His wife invited them
to come in, when six freshmen entered the
house. Mr. Harris supposing them to be ac-
quaintances reached out his hand to the fore
most of them, who Immediately struck him
over the head with club, and repeated the
blow with the same weapon. Mrs Harris
then threw herself in the way of the ruflians
to shield her husband, and was severely in
Jnrcd one of her thumbs being broken bv
the rasca!'s club. She then raised the win
dow and screamed for assistance when the
villains decampcd. Two of the nciuhbors,
attracted by the cries of Mrs Harris, came in,
and being Informed Of the outrage gave chase
and escaped pursuit
Neither Mr. Harris, nor his wife can con-
lecture who the rascals were, nor what their
object could have been in attacking him in
this brutal manner. He was once Catholic
but is now Protestant. His head is badly
iniurcdby the blows he received. - Troy w

heart out of the infants body. The details
OF the execution are not given. The Grim.
