The Sepulchre.

There manhood lies Lift up the pail!
How like the tree struck down to earth w
Ia its green pride, the mighty fall, se.a. r "a
Whom life hath fattered with its wealth a
Life is a voyage to our graves, s.. aa
Its promises, like smiling waves,
Invite US onward 10 the sea,
Where all is hidden treachery.
What stated beauty slumbers there! .
But mark those flowers, pale as the brow
Which they have wtea,hed if death could spare
A VICTIM he had pitied now;
To-day she hoped TO be BRIDE a.E
To-day, twas told her lover died
Here Death has reyelled in his power,
The riot Of lile's fairest hour. =.
Look on that little cherub's face
Whose budding smile is fixed by death;
How short indeed has been its race
A cloud sail'd by, the sun, breath s
Did gently creep across bed
OF flowers-its spirit then had fled,
A morning star momeut bright
Then melting into Heavens own light.
Behold the picture of decay,
Where nature wearried sank to rest!
Full four score years have passed away,
Yet did he, like lingering guest
Go from lifes banquet with sign,
That he, alas /! so soon should die
Our youth has not desires SO vain;
AS creep into an age Of pain.
But there how mournfullY serene
That chidless widowd mothers look
To her the world a waste has been, --.- orr
One whom it pitied, yet forsook,
Calm as the moons light which no storms
Raging benaeth it, can deform,
Did her afflicted spirit shine -.
Above her earthly woes divine .. ....
Thus Death deals with mortality, e. -
Like flowers, some gathered in their prime,
Others were scarcely said TO he
Just numbered with the things of time;
With life worn out some grieve to die,
To end their griefs here others fly. .. .-..
Life is but that which woke it, breath
Look here and tell me, what is death

CoxcREss--At our latest dates from Wash.
iagloa bosh Houses were engaged principally in
the discussion of the California Constitution and
the admission Of that territory into the union as
a state. Many able speeches had been made
pro and con. The result is doubtful, but the
chances seem to be in favor Of admission, as all
the free solers and perhaps all the members from
the north, both wings and democrats are in favor
of il. The south, il is believed, with the eAcep.
lion Of Senators Benton and Houston, will pre-.
sent an unbroken phalanx against admission, but
she is in a minority aud can have but little hope
of carrying out her views. We have no room
TO day for a Congressional synopsis. Perhaps
in our next we shall have some interesting news
from Washington TO lay before our readers.
