Mr. ADAMS was in his daily life and conversation
noble specimen of the brighter days of our repub-
lie. Simple, unassuming, retiring, few would real
ize, on meeting him stranger, that he had filled
nearly every eminent station up to the highest, and
was widely known as the best informed man that
America has ever produced. Though his mind was
perfect encyclopedia of all human knowledge,
land divine, too since he was through life reverent
and thoroughly-grounded Christian,) he never OBJ
truded his learning eminence upon any one but
might have passed in crowd for the threadbare
clergyman Of some secluded valley, or the il-paid
teacher of some village school. Yet the respect he
never exacted was always most readily accorded to
him; and, except during the few stormy years Of
his Presidency, when faction let loose upon him all
the boodhounds of calumny and hate, he has ever
enjoyed the esteem and confidence Of the great body
of his felowcitizens and doubt that he has left
survivor esteemed and con6ded in by SO many,
yet hated and distrusted by so few. Honor to the
memory Of statesman so purely wise, so greatly
good ,--New York Tribune.

There is peculiar solemny and mournful grandeur in

here, they often do in similar circumstances.
The glories Of our mortal state
Are shadows not substantial things:
There is amor against fate
Death lays his icy hand on kings.
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down.
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong at last must yield.
They tame but another still
Early or late,
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their conqueng breath,
When they, pale captives, creep TO death.
The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no your mighty deeds;
Upon deaths purple altar now,
See where the victor-victim bleeds
All heads must come
To the cold tomb.
