OAK HILL CEmETER n.
Hv JAMES WILLIAM HEsrER.

y t-
Fal from the city's busy hum Of trade,
And Just within the cherished Heights" embrace
Lies sweet OAK HILL, by Natures hand outaid,
With blending beauties blushing round the place
And down The west in golden drifts Of cloud,
As twilight's solt approach steals nearer still,
The sun around him draws his evening shroud,
And silence sits upon this hallowed hill.
Wide DER this strangely undulating ground,
Full msny a weird and winding way is seen,
And sylvan slopes in beauty smiling round,
With here and there miniature rayine
All is so hushed within this sacred ground,
So peaceful mid these pulseless cells OF death;
IL soothes our sorrow, when the lovd have found
A resting place It's quiet turf beneath.
These native oaks, whose canopy of shade
Ger many a little uibute-slab is spread,
Are sleepless seniries over lost ones laid,
ALL all around with others loved and dead
Hard by this sepuchre, along the dell,
From waters murm'ring DER their pebbly bed,
In music sweet as from an evening bell,
Areslless requiem rises for the dead.
Mere will the mother with her matchless love,
I'M evenings soothing stiffness of attend;
With heaving breast her heavy anguish prove,
Whilst fow'rs Of love and sorrow gently blend.
And trembling Ger the treasured staff OF DID,
The white-haired sire, now bowed by weight Of
Will come 10 press his chiIdren's earthly mould
And sanctify il with his silent tears.
Perhaps some war-worn brother here may sleep,
His countrys chaplet circliug his cold brow;
And round whose grave the loved will press 10
And sadly sigh DER him who rests below.
Each age and each condition slumbers here;
The doating father and his noble boy
The mother and the maiden, fair and dear,
And prattlng innocence, the parents JOY.
And sad remembrance through each varied year,
Her fondest, hottest offerings will bringj
Pearls OF the heart, the soulsubduing tear,
And roses white from out the lap Of spring.
Pale Meditation, too, with tristful tread,
Al evenings close will thoughtful lnger still,
Among these mausoleums ef the dead,
That rise in memory FROM each sacred hill
Here will the soul of song, aspiring high,
Heights distant scale with swim and dauntless
fight,
And gather spiritthoughts with fearful eye,
AS heav'n sublime, as ustrous as the light,
And genius with the sun-lit brow will come,
And the cold moralist with colder thought
Philosophy from out her ancient home,
To muse upon the work which death has wrought

The majority for the Peoples ticket will average about
10000 taking into consideration certain votes cast
throughout the State which counted for the egu
lar candidates. in consequence of the names not being
correctly given.
BY the above it will appear if the Democratic cand
date for Treasurer is elected by large majority but this
is accounted for by the fact that 1857 votes cast
for VIM. F. NoFFNGER instead of VIM. r. NoFrINGER
