And It's far from din or strife
Where the chirp of bird or cricket,
Is the only sign of life.
Where are tombstones old and hoary,
With inscriptions worn away,
Till they just as much as tell US
Where our fathers fathers lay.
Where are graceful modern sculptures
Of Italian marble white.
And one starts, and thinks them spirits
As he passes in the night.
Where are grassy little mounds too,
With rough unhewn head-stone
To tell us some sweet prattler
From the poor mans hearth has gone.
There's willow in one corner,
And its trunk is green with moss;
And the winds of fifty winters,
Have caused it many loss.

OF polished marble fair
And few short words engraved ont

tract from the speech, as published in friendly
paper:
President Pierce tapped me on the shoulder,
and asked me whether was still determined to
60 back to Oregon, 70 which | replied, dead or
alive should go back. The President then said
that the critical position of foreign rela ions
required the old experienced statesman at the
head of affairs and that he would be highly graf
fled if | would remain rs one of his constitutional
a4risers. But that if | was determined to 90
back. he hoped that would accept the office of
Governor OF Oregon. which did. and have now
