THE POOR MANS GRAVE.
BY ELIZA COOK.

BY ELIZA COOK.
No sable pail, NO waving plume,
No thousand torchlight to ilIume;
No parting glance, no heavy tear,
Is seen to fall upon the bier;
There is not one of mortal clay
To watch the coffin on its way:
No mortal form, no human breast
Cares where the pauper's bones may rest.
But one deep murmur followed there,
Whose grief outives the funeralpr
lie does not sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave his sodless heap;
"Tis he who was the poor mans mate,
And made him more content with fate.
The Mongrel dog who shared his crust,
II all that stands beside his dust.
He bends his listening head, as though
He thought he heard voice below;
He pines to miss the voice so kind,
And wonders why he's left behind;
The sun goes down, the night is come
lie needs no food--he needs no home
But stretched upon the dreamless bed,
With doleful howl calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldly dwell
On all that polished marbles tell,
For temples built on church yard earth,
Are claimed by riches more than worth;
But who would mark with nndimm'd eyes
The mourning dog that starves and dies?
Who would not ask, who would no crave
Such Love and Faith to guard his grave

CH1oRoFoRM IN AsTHMA.-A very in
teresting little girl, about twelve years CT
age. has been suffering for several wears
from frequent attacks of asthma. These
at times have been so distresslngly severe
as to cause some individuals to suppose
that disease of the heart also existed. 1t
was not only painful TO witness her during
these attacks, but there was some ground
for apprehension that their extreme
severity might prove fatal. L determined,
therefore, on the next occasion to admin
lister chloroform, in the hope OF carrying
her safe through the paroxysm. 1t was
about ten o'clock at night when 1 was
sent for to visit her while she was suffer-
ing intensely. She had passed the previ-
Gus night in a most restless state, and
during the whole day had breathed with
the greatest difficulty. | found her kneel-
ing in her bed, with her body bent nearly
double over her pillow, trying thus to
place herself in the best possible posture
to relieve the excessive labor OF resplra-
ton. She was extremely patient, although
her countenance WAS pale, and Indicated
great anxiety. Her pulse was very small,
and beating with great rapldlty, She had
taken no sustenance during the day. was
constantly vomiting, and her situation
was one of sorrowful apprehension to all
her friends. Feeling, no doubt, dread of
suffocation, I had some difficulty in per-
suading her to change her posture; but
when this was effected, at once proceed
ed to administer chloroform, during which
she did not show the slightest excitement,
nor even the movement of muscle. Her
pulse became Immediately fuller and
slower her painful and laborious respira-
ton was Immediately relieved; and III
twenty-minutes she fell into quiet sleep,
which lasted for half an hour. On her
awakening l again repeated the chloro-
form. which in ten minutes produced
the same salutary result l left her en-
joying calm, refreshing sleep, and, on
the following morning, l found her breath
ing naturally, and free from all pain and
suffering-Bainbridge ON Chloroform.

MY BIRTHPLACE.

BY D. w. DELISLE.
It stands, that ancient cot,
A sparkling stream beside,
A holy shrine, for tits the spot
Where my dear mother died
She sleeps beneath that willow tree,
Whose pendant boughs droop mourniully
And shade her place Of rest;
Where early birds their carols sing,
Making the woods with echoes ring
Above her peaceful breast.
How Oft when evening skies were dim,
And stars above were pale,
When sweetly came the vesper hymn
Borne by the spicy gale,
I've sought that sacred place to weep,
To watch the crystal waters sweep
In beauty down their rocky steep
To mingle with the sea:
And thus I've mused-Life's feeble bark.
Through raging tempests thick and dark,
Giides on, like Noah's trembling ark,
Into eternity.

A HARD RAP.-Advocating a better
system of popular education IN the State,
the South. Carolinian, of the 10Th ultimo,
remarks:
"Our State has long been bewildered
by the fame of her greatness and the SUI
periority of her people in the olden time.
Our people seem much indisposed to re-
fleet upon the real intellectual condition
of the greatest portion of opr, citizens,
whilst their proud contemplation in only
directed to the glories of the past-the
magnifcence of which, alas. has faded
into the Insignificant tinsel and beggardly
affectation of impoverished aristocracy.
How long will men, with strong arms and
weak brains, control the energies of the
land? Who will drag the true aims OF
life into active play, and. by awakening
impoverished mental and moral energy,
cause development which will rebound
to the honor OF the State? Let our poll
ticians, who have heretofore dreamed only
of personal advancement, step forward,
and, with or without the aid OF the
State, set the ball properly in motion.
