The GRAVE OF THE BELo%ED.-How
pleasant is the spot to US where rests the
remains of dear friend or relative in
whose society We once took so much de-
light. The mother loves often to retire,
and while standing beside the grave Of
her beloved child, to call to mind tho
scene Of BY gone days, when the loved
one. now reposirg in silence in the grave.
smiled upon her and called her BY tho
endearing name Of mother. The fathef
spends hours in looking back to the time
when he knew his promising SOD whom,
none knew but to love, was the joy Of
bis heart and the object Of biz greatest
care and solicitude. The husband and
wife are come to mediate and mourn
over the loss o. departed companion
all from the nearest relative to the warm
hearted and sorrow stricken friend here
resort TO mediate on the happy season
of the past, and look forward to the
future, when they too shall be Isid beside
those whom they love aud with them
enter another state Of being.

caught the dog by the mouth, one hasd
in the upper, the other 10 the lower jaw,
and in a moment literally tore the lower
Jaw cut Of its socket. Then turning
upon the scoundrels, who were prepsr-
ing to attack him, Mr.. Palmer struck the
nearest lefthander in the face, aud a
valuable diamond ring catching in the
flesh, cut the fellows cheek open from
his eye to his chin.
The other ruflian had seen enough
