ny HELEN ". LApD.
One day in August was slowly straying
While wanton breczcs round my brow were playing
And tall trees their dark arms were softly swnying
A silent graveyard my lone step. arrested
And leaning Ger the gate, the thought itself sug-
gestcd
Whether each heart was quiet where it rested.
| entered in, and awe kept creeping DER
As each white slab reared up its head before me,
While thoughts, oppressive, dread, through death
land bore
On each broad stone read the words, and wondered
If all were good and great, who calmly slumbcred,
While shrouly thoughts were o'crmy spirit stealing
| saw, with chilling, startled, trembling feeling,
A fresh green mound the moon was just revealing.
And marble lips disclosed, that true hearted
Mother and wife. from lifc-land had departed,
And pitying tears from meath my eyelids started.
For lying on the grave, with checks still wet with
weeping,
4 little bright haired girl swectly slcccpng,
And angels though unseen. were surely vigils
keeping.
One little rounded arm she made her pillow,
One little dnplcd hand close ca,pei its fellow,
And sunny locks were touched by dropping willow.
I bowed my head down low, yes. very lowly.
Uncovered it, for oh the place was holy,
Forangels smiled above and slept there below
would not break the gentle sleep that bound her,
But drew my own light mantle closely round her
And left her swcctly sleeping as found her.

OPENING LETTER. From the following state
ment, which We copy from the Philadelphia
Ledger, it appears that the Postmaster Cen
eral denies the right Of postmaster TO open
n letter on any pretence. His decision is Oh
yiously correct. When the seal of IA letter is
not sacred in the hands of post Office officials,
it will be time to take the mails out of the
hands of government. We have reason, how
ever, to believe, that tho rule here laid down
by the Postmaster General is not always ac-
ted upon by those in the employment Of the
Post Office Department
Postmaster General Campbell was applied
to recently by the postmaster at York Pa
to know whether a letter containing, as was
supposed, counterfeit money, could be opened
at the request of the police authorities, in
order that the money contained therein
might be identified so the same as that pas
sed by the prisoner, and that thus further
evidence might be furnished to aid in his
covicton and punishment The postmaster
general replied, emphaticaliy, that it could
not that he had no right, nor any officer un-
der him, to open any letter until it reached
the dead letter Office, and that this principle
must be always acted upon by those
in the employment of the department,
