FROM THE FATioSsL IsrELLleEScER.
SEXTON, SPARE THAT GRAVE.
Sexton spare that grave,
Touch not single ciodl
There let the wild grass wave
Forever Ger that sod.
Sexton my mother sleeps
10 that neglected spot;
The willow DER il weeps,
pray thee touch il not.
Twas my loy'd fathers hand
That PLACID il near her grave
Then, sexton. let il stand,
And long IN sadness wave.
Long years have passed away.
BY gloom and care oppressed,
Since thar dark, cherries day
When she was laid at rest.
For she who soothed nv woes,
And luli'd my cares 10 sleep,
Shall still IN peace repose,
Though am left 10 weep.
And there my beautcous boy,
Whose pale and noble brow
Once glow'd with love and JOY.
There, too, reposes now.
His dust has mingled long
With hers he loved so well.
Whose evening prayer and song
Could each young care dispel.
Sexton, | love the spot,
And that old willow tree
Your spade shall harm it not,
No, hsrm'd it must not os.

we believe, the true history Of the symbol in
question. In addition 10 the two deriya,ions
referred to by our correspondent, we find a
third one suggested In the National lnielgen
Ger. The origin Of the mark is supposed BY
this writer to be found in double ID placed
reversely, to indicate dollars--thus aD This
mark IS supposed to have assumed, in process
Of time, the shape in which it is now used
But the following explanation is most likely,

This term then means nothing more than
dollar, or s reals. When, therefore. the dol

prefSed to express dollars, and in process Of
time the has been changed TO the present
mark. II has been asserted, but know no,
whether correctly or not, that Gen. HAMlLros
FIRST used this mark, soon after the adoption Of
our currency Of dollars and cents. However
this may be, the figure 5 is no doubt the origi-
nal Of the mark, and the derivation have CIV
