Has found resting place at last
Each fear dispellst-each doubt dispersed
Each wish fulfilled heart al RESI-

Farewell my signs; my tears, tarewe'l;-
And dreary days, and slrepless nights,
And agony must no. le'i,-
Farewell! go where love invites.
The earth is CAV the sky is clear
And all seems bfieh, below, above;
And things that deemed dull, appear
Now, brilliant with The touch OF love.
Happy The fate can boast, as mine
Oh sorrows past aud dangers DER;
Can claim a heart as true as thine,
And love, il dreamed DO, OF before.
Sill, al The solemn twilight hour,
Will come those thoughts cannot quell;
When Memory ith lis magic power,
Recalls my last, my sad farewell;
And seems again TO mock my Joy
With shadowy fears that dimly rise;
As if illusion could destroy
The love that lights thy beaming eyes.

COMMON SENSE.

She came among the glitering crowd
A maiden fair without pretense,
And when they asked her humble name,
She whispered mildly Common Sense
Her modest garb drew every eye.
Her ample cloak, her shoes OF leather
And when they sneered, she simply SAID,
81 dress according to the weather"
They argued long, and reasoned loud,
In DUBIOUS Hindoo phrase mysterious.
While she. poor CHI Id, could not divine
Why girls SO young should be SO serious
They knew the length of Pla,os beard,
And how the scholars wrote IN Saturn
She studied authors not so deep
And took the Bible for her pattern.
And so she said "Excuse me, friends,
find all have their proper places,
And Common Sense should stay at home,
With cheerful hearts and smiling faces"

The Mobile Tribune gives different version
of Col. Bragg's speech at the annual meeting
Of the members Of the bar, held in that city on
the ooh ullimo, correcting an nciden. in his.
tory, as follows:
"To Capt. Thomas, of virgiu,, he accorded
the hishes, praise for his herosm on that fatal
field. This gallant officer, who had been driven
from his position by the charge OF the enemy,
came up rapidly amidst The smoke and carnage
of the fight, TO the aid of Col. Bragg. and BY
his courage and skill helped to pour so deadly
fire upon the Mexicaos that their bead!ons
charges were broken. 1t was at this luncture
,ha, Gen. Taylor sat on 'old Whitley near at
hand, watching the effect OF The deadly cannon
ade-his face drawn up risidly with intense
anxiety. When tho artillery began TO tell on
The foe, his facial muscles relaxed, and then it
was that lie exclaimed, give lhem-CaPt

I will certainly, I think, be consider.
ed surprising, on both sides of the Fa-
thor Of Waters, that Mr.. Benton, whose
shreWdness has been commended at
leastas often as his oratory, should have
been weak enough to perpetrate this
silly plagiarism upon his deceased col
league in the very State.house where
they had both been elected TO the Uni
ted States Senate, and amidst the very
people to whom Mr.. Benton's public
career must needs be so familiar. Could
he reasonably have hoped, that the
gallant, gifted, generous.heartcd Bar
ton lived no longer in the remembrance
of those to to whom he was once SO
dear? Gould he imagine that he would
be permitted to break thus into the ga.
cred, burial place of the glorious dead
and be allowed to steal from the CLAW
cold corpse Of him whom he hated liy-.
ing, those glittering rhetorical vest
ments which but lately sparkled before
the eyes of admiring thousands; with
out at least mourning serious risk OF
having all this rich plumage torn pub.
licly from its jack-daw wearer, evon in
the very moment of his most exultant
self complacency? Well, for fear that
the good people Of Missouri have near
ly forgotten their once loved Senator,
the brilliant "little red," and from the
more selfish fear, also, that the asper
-sions of Mr.. Benton may cause men
