Remember you must Die.

When joys bright sun is shining 10
Along the Aowery way,
And pleasures wreath is t~ining
That blooms but to decay ! .
When life's delicious morning al,
Beams Ger the unclouded sky,
Sad comes the mournful warning,
"Remember you must die"
When clouds are lowering o'er US
And sorrow rends the breast,
And all is gloom before us,
No home wherein To rest
Welcome as dews Of even
Beneath a torrid sky,
Whispers a voice from heaven,
Remember you must die"

principles, whom they declared they would
support in any Contingency
"If Gen. Taylor is an honest man-and
We are not dis osed to doubt that which we
do not call in question-he has no claim
upon the Wing party; upon its support or
countenance. We cannot recognize the
acts of the Philadelphia Convention as
regular, clearly proved as they have been,
to have been wrong in action-be their mo-
|tives searched by their constituency, aud
their W consciences, and let them an
swer to THAT tribunal where all must go to
account fOf their earthly stewardship.
Their nomination has fallen dead the
country-withOut response; no effort can
galvanise it into practical vitality. His de-
feat we consider, under the circumstances,
q Thousand times sure. We can conceive
of no possible contingencytha that could alter
this fixed fact.' Condemned by all these
tests-and yet the more enforced by his
own singular and vacillating course-set-
ting at defiance the very men who stopped
to conquer'-we are obligedto discard it,
and TO regard It now and hereafter as Of no
more avail, and Of no more binding force
to the Wing party, than if Gen. Cass had

DANIEL WEBSTER.

The following anecdotc of Mr. Webster is
told by a correspondent OF the Cleveland Her
aid. as an illustration of the uncertainty Of
worldly fame and the folly of making it the
controlling object of life:
A few wears since, but before the great
Northern Rail Road passed through his farm,
he was on his way to the old homestead. He
took the stage at Concord, N. H., and had for
a companion very old man. After some con-
versation, he ascertained that the old man was
from the neighboring town of Salisbury, and
he asked him if he ever knew Captain Web
ster?
"Surelv did," said the old mar, ''and the
CAPTAIN was brave and good man, sir, and
nobly did he fight for us, with Gen. Stark at
Bennington"
"Did he leave any Children" asked Mr.
Webster.
"Oh yes ; there was Ezekiel, and I think
Daniel"
"And what has become of them ?"
"Why. Ezekiel-ah, he wasa powerful man,
sir-I have heard him plead in court often,yes
sir. he was a powerful man and fell dead while
pleading at Concord"
'.Well," said Mr.. Webster, "what became of
Daniel ?"
"Daniel-Daniel," repeated the old man
thoughtfully, "why, Daniel, betiere, is a law

SEVENTY-SIX.
BY WILLIAM c. BRYANT.

What heroes from the woodland sprung,
When, through the fresh-awakcnsd land,
The thrilling CRY offrecdom rung,
And 10 the work of warfare strung
The yeoman's iron hand
Hills flung the cry to hills around,
And ocean-mart replied to mart,
And streams, whose springs were yet unbound
Pealcd far away the startling sound
Into the forests heart.
Then marched the brave from rocky steep,
From mountain-ryer swift and cold;
The borders of the stormy deep,
Tho wales where gathered waters sleep,
Sent up the strong and bold.
As if the very earth again
Grew quick with Gods creating breath,
And, from the sods of grove and glen,
Rose ranks of ion-hcartcd men,
10 battle 10 the death.
The wife, whose babe first smiled that day,
The fair, fond bride of ycS,er eve,
and aged sire and matron gray,
Saw the loved warriors haste away,
And deemed it sin to grcive.
Already had the strife begun,
Already blood on Concord's plain
Along the sprinsing grass had run,
And blood had flowed At Lexington,
Like brooks of summer rain.
That dcath-s'ain on the April sward
Ilallowcd TO freedom all the shore;
In fragments fell the yoke abhorred-
! he footsteps of a foreign lord
Pr.fincd the soil no more.

Soldiers Coming Home,

Now that peace has been declared we NAV ex-
pect in the course of few weeks the return of
thousands of our valiant soldiers That mauy will
come back with banched cheeks and shattered
limbs there can be no doubt, for these are the IN.
couth ornaments too often earned in the deadly
trade of war. Still war is not without its BLESSINGS
The brave warriors of g the land of the free and
the home of the brave,'' have taught lesson to
our once naughty neighbor, that time itself cannot
extngulsh Not only have We taught them our
prowess in deeds of battle, but also of our gentle
ness when the storm of war was over The en-
blem OF our beloved country, the majestic eagle
whilst IN anger dares the lightning and turns
deaf ear to the clarion-like sound of the thunder
OF the storm, but when that storm is over all is
peace, content, forgetfuIness. Those pale-cheeked
sodlers-theY will come home-each of them with
a laurel wreath upon his brow-each with knowl-
edge that he has battled for his country's glory
leo will serve to ferze her soil and render it more
pregnabe to the seeds of liberty, which, thanks to
to our Institutions, are fast being implanted When
the great teachers of the rights of man step upon
their homeward shores, let not New Orleans be
backward in doing them honor and Justice We
call upon the various military departments of the
city to see that whilst the poor soldiers remain here
that their persons may be protected from those ca
lamltIes, both personal and pecuniary that are too
often incidental to q soldiers life. The brave fell
lows have taken care of our honor as a nation
abroad, and it behooves us now to take care of
them when they shall return.
