MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

Tread lightly, stranger, DER that spot; It's
halowed ground, made sacred by the blood
Of n noble heart, shed in defence of brother.
Angels hover near the grave, mourning the
death, and rejoicing in the life Of one worthy
Of seat in their midst The long, gaunt
arms of a blasted pine point to the last of
earth, and the gentle, melancholy breezes,
which sigh mournfully above the grave, whis-
per a requiem for the rest of his soul.
