THOUGHTS ON A COUNTRY GRAYE.YA YARD.

THOUGHTS ON A COUNTRY GRAVE.YA
Linger here, o man of sorrow,
Turn not from this silent spot
Linger in the busy morrow
Scenes like this are soon forgot.
Sunbeams stealing out from heaven
Linger here on stone and sod;
Lingcr then till morn, till even
Stay for thou art near 10 God!
Here amid tho silent torest,
Old and hoary trees oil gray,
Rest the richest with the poorest,
Meath the tufted mound of clay.
Mortals vain, bcrclt Of ladlng,
Lie bcnenca,h this marble tomb,
There, the poor, unnotic'd fading,
Resteth from his toll doom
Here, the weary broken.hearted
Find from all their woes respite,
And the links of kindred Partcd,
Far away in heaven unite.
Here the worldly and ambitious,
Here the wise, the great the good,
Man most virtuous, or most vicious,
Serve alike tho worm for food.
Here all enmity must perish
Fondly nurtured by our pride;
WHY should we such follies cherish,
Rest we moi here side by side7
Lingor here in thoughtful wonder,
See tho busy world without
Passing needless boist'rous, yonder,
Old and young in merry rout.
See, oh see, how doath is rcaping
From the wild, unconscious crowd!
Laughter peaIing, waillng, weeping
Fen the bridal robes shroud,
Thus all earthly joy ceosng-
Can'st thou wander OIL with these7
Stay aud learn Of life unceasing
When our portioned time shall co1sc.
Know, all aceling is, o mortal,
From tho cradle to the grave,
But relgion-at whose portal
Breaks lfes changing, troubled wave.
She, the one, the never changing.
Stays 10 guide The mortal, where
Thousands ocr her paths once ranging,
Find bissful home forc'er.

To-day has been a great day with the demo
cracy of this section of the State, New London
county, mass meeting has been held here to-
day, preparatory to the State election, which
takes place on the first Monday in April The
attendance was large, and the proceedings most

from New Hampshire, where he has been stir
ring up the people, and the latter from attending
the remains of John Quincy Adams to Boston,
as a member OF the Congressional delegation
were present by special invitation; and the GU
rlosity to see and hear them was intense The
General arrived last evening in the cars from
Worcester, having addressed the democracy of
Providence that day; he was met at the depot
by hundreds OF our citizens, all anxious to catch
II glimpse of the hero of San Jaclnto. pro.
cesslon, headed by a fine band OF music, marched
the General from the depot TO his quarters at the
Merchants Hotel, where large numbers were
personally introduced to him.
To-day, as have stated, the convention was
held, and the turnout from this and the adjon-
ing towns and counties was immense. First in
order came the General. Loud and enthusiastic
cheers greeted his appearance He gave us
speech OF about two hours duration, full of ar
gnment, facts, philosophy and fun. He won the
hearts OF all present. wings as well as democrats,
by his noble and commanding appearance, his
eloquence, and his humor. "He is one of EN- ~
said by-stander IN my vicinity, and no mis-
take" Who would have thought he was such
a funny, dry old chap" remarked another; and
the feeling OF admiration was universal.
During the forenoon session, intellI gence was
received by telegraph reporting the result of the
New Hampshire election, and cheer after cheer
went up for the old Granite State.
The General, after concluding his speech,
started tor Hartford, where he is expected to ad-
dress the democracy this evening.
In the afternoon able addresses were delivered
by Mr.. Kaufman, of Texas, and Mr. Rsntoul, of
