The Little Lone Grave.

The overland emigration to Califor-
MIA in 1852, was immense, and attended
with much of sickness and death. Hard
ly company that was not decimated,
and many doubly so. Newmade graves
that, during the first ten days upon the
plains, possessed at least a passing mel
ancholy interest, sufficient to turn the
steps of the traveller, if only just to know
the name and where from. at length be-
came so numerous as hardly to attract a
passing notice, unless 10 the immediate
vicinity of our camping-grounds. We
bad encamed upon one of the very small
streams between the Little Blue and the
Platte rivers; we we're all joyous and
happy our animals as yet in excellent
condition,our company all in good health,
and wo had not been long enough upon
the plains to know or feel fatigue 1t
was Saturday afternoon, and we had
stopped carly, where water and grass
were abundant, and intended to remain
there over Sunday.
Tents were pitched, our horses quiet
ly grazing, and mirth and gayety re-
sounded throughout the camp. More
than one of US had observed little strip
Of board no wider than a mnu's hand,
standing upright amid the green grass
but few rods from our wagons. One
of our company thinking it would make
good kindliugs, went out to get it, but
returned without it, saying nothing.
Another went, and he too, returned with
out it and yet another and other; and
as they returned all seemed less joyous
than before. Our own curiosity was ex-
cited, and we, too, with companion,
went out to see it, and discover if possi
Bile its apparent sacreduess. On ap-
preaching it, we found ourselves ap.

OUR ONLY CHILE
DEAR LITTLE MARY :


But we had no means Of ascertaining
whose Little Mary it was. AS the sun
was yet an hour high or more, it was
proposed that We should 60 on mile or
two to other camping grounds and with
out question being asked, or a reason
given, it was unanimously approved and
carried into effect. But the true and
only cause was, the ncarness to our

The IMPERIAL STup.-A letter from
Vienna to the Springfield Republican,
gives the annexed description Of the
Imperial stables:
i have visited some picture galleries,
twenty or thirty churches, great many
cabinets of natural history, few palaces
and, most interesting Of all the Impe rial
stables, where six hundred noble steeds
are lodged most royalty and fare sump-
tnously every day, dutifully attended
by three hundred servants The apart.
ments Of their equine highnesses are at
once splendid and comfortable, free from
the scent of the stable, and clean az a
lady's parlor. Their blankets are en-.
broidered with the Imperial crest, their
harnesses, saddles aud all their equip
ments are of the costly kiud, aud gen
orally in excellent taste. In one large
hall are some two hundred carriages, Of
which the cheapest cost two or three
thousand dollars, and the coronation
carriage, adorned with paintings by Ru.
bens, aud covered with dimonds and gold
wheels and all, cost about two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Another hall
filled with State saddles and trappings
ofvarious descriptions is still more mag.
ni6cient. But the animals themselves,
unlike most occupants Of palaces, far
outshine all their exterior adornments
The bright fiery, intelligent eye the
proudly arching neck, (tbe horse is the
only animal whom pride really becomes)

delicate but powerful limbs, the sraso Of
every movement, the gentlsn0ss and
courtesy with which they receive every
little attention bestowed upon them, tho

A Hymn.

"A d. ulus
ny wM. c. BRYANT.
Written for the recent Centennial Celebra
ton at Bridgewatcr, Mass.
Two hundred times has June renewed
Her roses, since the day
When here, amid the lonely wood,
Our fathers met TO pray.
Beside this gentle stream, that strayed
Through painless deserts then,
The calm, heroic women prayed,
Aud grave, undaunted men
Hymns on the ancient silence broke
From hearts that faltered not,
And undissembling lips that spoke
The free and guilcless thought.
They prayed, and thanked the Mighty One
Who made their hearts so strong,
And led them towards the setting sun,
Beyond the reach of wrong
For them he made that desert place
A pleasant heritage; ..-s..
The cradle of free born race,
From peaceful age to age.
The plant they set, a little vine,
Hath stretched its boughs af,r
To distant hills and streams that shine
Beneath the evening star.
Ours are their fields, these fields that smile
With summers early flowers
Oh, let their fearless scorn of guile
And love of truth be ours
