Yc have mourncd in The forest stiffness,
O'er the oak and the proud elm's fall,
And spread oe'r the pine in IT'S glory,
The clols MS an earthly pail
With the tramp Of noflon's foclstep,
And the roll Of the muiled drum,
The great, and the wise, and the mighty,
To their long, last slumber come.
But now for the flower faded,
Rises dirges soft and low,
And The hearts sad requiem music
Keepeth time to the tear-drop's flow
Ay a flower, in prime of blossom,
Winning homage rs queen;
Yet meek in bloom as the violet
That hides meath It's leafy screen;
Soft may she rest with the buds she loved bes
Weaving above her their beautiful vest.
favored one The world bestowed
On thee full many token;
Ard eager friendship twiued thy heart,
Whose strings We're vet unhroken.
A husbands fame. more precious far,
(Whal glory could he dearer?)

And h nars horne 50 mceky,

IhE BUY THAT BuCkED THE BULL OFF THE
BAYOU BRIDGE.

In the heart of Louisiana,
Dwelt a planter bold aud true,
Md the verdant, sweet savannah,
BY the rolling, dark bayou.
Ever in the forest lonely,
Eve and morning night and noon,
Hunted he the fox and squirrel,
Or the 'possom and raccoon,
I
Though be was a modern Nimrod,
Yet he bore no hunters name,
For his mothers heart had always,
Burned with poetic fame.
"Nd'ettur," are still "poeta,"
But a name might make him one,
So she called him Laratheta-
BY that name he fl and won.
Long had Lara roamed the wildwood.
Dread Of s'en the eapnount big
Dread too Oft Of strsying chickens,
Or neishbor's errant pig
Till he spied, beneath a holly,
Standing on moss grown bank,
A dear maid, beneath whose glances,
All his heart within him sank,
Long he stood and gazed upon her,
While she, like a tiinid fawn,
Gazed up first at Laratheta,
Gazed down next upon the lawn.
When at length, with ardent longing,
Spoke he in the wildwood dark,
She, as fearing some deep wronging,
Ran as ne'er did equity Sark."
Straight to her papa's plantation,
Made she for The bayou bridge,
Yelling like the whole Creek nation,
As she crossed the nearest ridge.
Swift he followed, and imploring;
"Would she for a moment stop ?"
Hark! what meant that awful roaring
AS he reached the BRIDGES top?-
Gives him pause, yet ere consider
Alton once could cross his mind,
Comes bull with tuftcd head down.
And his tail erect behind,
Making straight at Larathsta,
Believing like a very curse
Fen had Lara's name been Peter,
Could the bull have acted worse? p?
,,- ,Snom me "PoeW
Spealfs 0f Il" the ozark Yazoo,"
What could Lara do but go it,
Notwithstanding the BULBS "boo?"
So, without single thinking,
Headlong at the bull he goes
Almost meets him-quicK as winking
Falling meath the bullock's nose.
As the bull went piunging over
'Gainst the BRIDGES totpring rail,
Laratheta rose, ard gazing
In the bayou, saw his tail:
Then he ran on after Phoebe,
(By the way, that was the name
OF the nymph who meath the holly
First had reused his passions hame.)
She was on her fathers bosom,
Clnging close unto his breast,
Caring naught not for Lsratheta,
Long as there she could but rest.
Laratheta needed not her,
DuI spoke OUT WIN aCSehs gum
''SIr, your bull is in the water,
And twas | that buck'd at him."
Quick the farmer stretched his hand forth
