support. Whilst il is distihctively the friend and
advocate of the South and West, il is not section

it is the only literary journal, long and high stand

fame, and solicts the increased patronage OF the

POETRY,
THE POOR MANS GRAVE


No sable pail. no waving plume,
No thousand torch-lights to illume;
No parting glance, no heavy tear,
Is seen to fall upon the bier.
There is not one Of kindred clay
To watch the coffin on its way;
No mortal form, no human breast
Cares where the paupers dust may rest.
But one deep mourner follows there,
Whose grief outlives the funeral prayer;
He does not sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave the sodless heap.
'Tis he who was the poor mans mate,
And made him more content with fate;
The mongrel dog that shar'd his crust,
Is all that stands beside his dust,
He bends his listening head, as though
He thought TO hear voice below
He pines to miss that voice 50 kind,
And wonders why he's left behind.
The sun goes down, the night is come,
He needs no food-he seeks no home;
But stretch'd upon the dreamless bed,
With doleful howls calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldly dwell
On all that polish'd marbles tell;
For temples built on church yard earth
Are claimed by riches more than worth.
But who would mark with undimm'd eyes
The mourning dog that starves and dies!
Who would not ask, who would not crave,
Such Love and Faith to guard his grave'
