O3-A YEAR AGo.-What unutterably sad
and mourntul reflections the memories of one
year ago to-day bring back to the mind. How
many of our dearly loved friends have now
lain year in their dark and silent graves.
/ The heavy clay is fast settling down on their
| dust, and will soon be thickIy matted over
with sod, when they will no longer seem like
new made graves, but as the years recede
and multiply, they will be neglected and for
gotten. Those of us who still live will soon
be scattered far and wide from these sacred
relics, and finally lie down one by one in our
own narrow cells, and be also soon alike for
gotten. Even the short period Of 30 years
will probably not leave here one of all those
who mourned SO deeply one short year ago.
How changed we are even now. How soon
the deepest feeling Of which we are capable
fades away from the mind. Yet some there
are whose treasures Of the heart were laid low
in the earth year ago to-day, who can never
never cease the acutest throes of anguish
while memory tevefts to August 18th, 1854.
