THE DEAD.

THE DEAD.
By HENRY AFFORD.
The dead alone are great!
While heavenly plants abide on earth,
The soil is one of dew less death;
But when they die, mourning shower
Comes down and makes their memories flower
With odors sweet though late.
The dead alone are fair
While they are with us, strange nea play
Before our eyes, and chase away
Gods light; but let them pale and die,
And gwell the stores Of memory
Thee is no envy there.
The dead alone are dear
While they are here, long shadows fall
From our own forms. and darken all;
But when they leave US, all the shade
Is round our sad footsteps made,
And they bright and clear
The dead alone are blest
While they are here, clouds the day,
And bitter snow falls nip their May;
But when the tempest-time is done,
The light aud heat of Heavens own sun
Broods on their land of rest.
REMEMBRAScE.
As the stern grandeur Of the Gothic tower
Awes not deeply in its morning hour,
As when the shades Of time serenely fall
On every broken arch and ivied wall
The tender images we love to trace,
Steal from each year melancholy gracs
And as the sparks Of social love expand
As the heart opens in foreign land,
And with brothers. warmth brothers. Smile
The stranger greets each native OF his isle
So scenes " life, when present and contest,
Stamp hut their holder features the breast
Yet not an image, when remotely vieR'd,
However trivial and however rude,
But wins The heart and wakes the social sigh,
With every claim of close affinity. tRoeERs.

LADY LAwYERs.-One of the female
speakers at the Woman's Rights Con-
ventlon having stated that she was
studying law with view to practice, the
New Bedford Mercury treats the subject
thus humorously:
We wish the new Portia all possible
success, though we cannot help thinking
she would do better with little 'un than
Lyttleten, with cap than capias. All
women like declaration, though most
prefer another kind than, a writ. Still
our Blackstone in skirts may snccced
wonderfully well in eourting, and win a
silk gown in advance of all competitors.
The only injustice is that rhetoric may
be heightened and rendered more heaven
ly by pretty countenance, the present
race of lawyers being by no means beau
ti'ul in the phiz.--In that case, as sappho
flched the laurels from Pindar, not only
by force Other poetry, but by the fair
ness OF her face, SO Squire Nancy or
Polly may carry off decisions from soft
hearted judges, when the law and the
evidence are both on the side of some

pressed his surprise to farmer that

said the farmer, they all disappeared
in the famine. Three hundred of the
poor things called me master, and the
villains lifted them all but one, and that

that they'd left that one just for the
sake of the shepherd, for fear I'd dis.

1t was raised id the old Indian Wars be-

twenty miles east of the stone house, on

man whose name was Stannard. Bv
some means he had made himself ubnox.
lou' TO the Indians, and they therefore
seIzed him and held council at which
1t was determined to burn him. A hot
hre vas accordingly made around . st.t.
and Stannard with his arms bound With
thongs behind him, waited to be cooked
wnile the Indians went through With
their pow-wow. In the meantime, STAN

ssoned tor the stone house. Whether bo
made his mile in 2 40, more or less, I
know not; history and tradition ara
silent. The doors Of the stone house
closed IN Upon stannard, just as the
whole tribe came howling and yelling to
the wall. stannard was saved, but tho
was roasted.--Port. iran,
