The tangled brars have overgrown
That little hill of earth.
And sweeping rains have worn the stone
cannot read the birth.
Or when this mouldering frame within
Left the vain world Of caIe and sin.
1t bresthas, know not what Of dresr
And desolate forgeduiness;
This grave, unwet by thoughtful fear
UnWod by foot of mouiner-yes,
Deserted utterly, and left,
Ol vstanls and friends berelt
Fs hard TO bring lny heart to feel
That thus the word cah wear away
The yearning sadness that will steal
Upon our soul on that sad day,
When we lay down THE ONE we have,
Inlo the cold and silent grave.
Meetings. it cannot b. that life,
And busy care can e'er e0ace
The memories of The bosom's strife
That sometimes TO ina, resting place
The pensve wanderer may not stray,
TO spead The hours of parting day.
Be still, fond heart! Why dost lhoug cling
Thus to this lonesome spot?
Does not higher impulse spring
In mourners' hearts and hearst thou no
Those standing by the narrow prison
Say,'lie is not here, but he hath r.sen!'
Oh, child Of fancy! gentle maid!
May lesson learn from thee
That those who in the grave I've laid.
Whose forms no more or earth see,
Are not beneath the crnm5llng sod,
But in the spirit land with God!
And when with them would commune
will not see With fearful eyes
The graveyard's melancholy gloom;
Bul look up te the clear blue skies,
Or TO the silent stars by night.
For ihither have they winged their flight

swore that the prisoner had confessed 10 her
after the fire, that she set fire to the stable But
the Jury did not credit the chief witness, who,
under the cross-exumination of MIR. G. S. Wal
ZACH, made contradictory statements. So the
prisoner was acquitted.
.un'u finn HAL, indicted on two counts, for
keeping Il bawdy blouse and dsorderly house
in the city Of Washington, was next put upon
her trial. Mr.. Eloban was counsel for the de-
PENDANT. After "A great number of witnesses
had given their testimony in the case, and
lengthy remarks of the counsel on points Of
law relative to the inadmssbilty of certain
testimony, the Court was adjourned about
O'Clock, the trial not being ended.
Judge Dunlop administered ii seasonable
caution to the jury, against holding CONVERSE
ton with any person not Of their body, on the
subject OF the pending trial.
George Washington Idtburt, who is charged
with an assault with intent TO kill his step-a-
thcr, ii. S. Woedruti, appeared last evening
about 5 o'clock, before Justices Morsel & God
dard. DIR. J. F. May, the attending physician,
was the only witness examined before the JUS
tees. He described the nature and size of the
wound in the side of Mr. Woodruff where the
shot had penetatcd and he expressed the
opinion, that the sufferer would recover and
was much better Mcssrs. Bradley & IIoban,
counsel for the defendant, declined to call any
witness at the present investigation, and re-
qucsted the Justices to decide on the amount of
bail 1t was then stated that they should re-
qure $1,000 security for the appearance OF
G.. w. Talburt at the next Criminal Court;
which security being found and Immediately
given by Mr. Mattlngley, the defendant was
suffered 10 depart
The President held Levee last night, which
was well attended The Hon. Judges Wayne

lConcsp, ndence of the American Republican,


The trial of Mary Ann Hall, indicted fol
keeping bawdy house and Il dsorderly house
was resumed this morning on the opening o
the court, and continued until o'clock, the
trial not being then brought to a close. Mr.
lloban, as counsel for the defendant made q
very long and able address TO the jury, in
which he commented most unsparing y and sar
castiCalIy upon the doctrine alleged TO have
been laid down by the District attorney, in the
present case, that the offence of keeping baw-
DIV house, might be made out by presumptve
evidence. Mr.. lIoban cOntended that it was q
most unsound and dangerous doctrine, and thai
strict legal prooiwas necessary before the de-
PENDANT could be fairly convicted Of keeping O
bawdy house; and the learned gentleman ridi-
culed the idea that a iastdious delicacy re-
quired in the present and similar cases, thai
proof of the offence should be dispensed with
satisfying his opinion in that respect by the
practice ofthe English Criminal courts in such
cases. The learned gentleman spoke for three
hours and made very powerful and eloquent
address, to which the District attorney will re-
ply tomorrow.
