their distance. The purse was given to
Hays, under great deal of hard swear.
ing on the part of the owners Of the
horses.
A general row ensued; but the fun Of
the thing put the crowd all on the side of
the bull. The horsemen contended they
were swindled out of their purse, and
that if it had not been for Hays's horn
and ox.hide, which he ought not to have
been permitted to bring upon the ground
the thing would not have turned out as it
did. Upon this Hays told them that his
bull could beat any of their horses any
how and if they would put up hundred
dollars against the purse he had won, he
would take off the ox-hide, and leave his
tin horn, and run fair race with them.-
His offer was accepted and the money
staked.
They again took their places at the
starting post and the signal was given.-
Hays gave the bull another touch with his
spur, and the bull gave tremendous bel.
low. The horses remembering the dread.
full sound, thought all the rest was coming
as before. Away they went again in
spite Of all the exertions of their riders
while Hays galloped his bull around the
track again and won the money.

The departed! the departed!
They visit US in dreams,
And they glide above our memories,
Like shadows over streams:
But where the cheerful lights of home
In constant leisure burn,
The departcd-the departed
Can never more return!
The good, the brave, the beautiful
How dreamlcss is their sleep,
Where rolls the dirgc-like music
Of the ever-tossing deep;
Or when the mournful night winds
Pale winters robes have spread
Above their narrow places
In the cities Of the dead!
Hook around, and feel the awe
OF one who walks alone
Among the wrecks of former days,
In dismal ruin strown;
start to hear the stirring sounds
From the leaves of withcrcd trees,
For the voice of the departed
Seems born upon the breeze.

Each gay and careless strain;
