LITTLE THINGS.

Do something for each other ~
Though small the help may be;
There's comfort oft in little things
Far more than others see
1t takes the sorrow from the eye,
1t leaves the world less bare,
If but friendly hand come nigh,
When friendly hands ore rare !
Then cheer the heart which tolls reach hour,
Yet finds it hard to live!
And though but Titles in our power,
That little let us give
. We know not what the humblest hand,
If earnest, may achieve
How many sad anxiety g..
A triie may relieve
We reck not how the aged poor
Drag on from day to day;
When cen the little that they need
Costs more than they can pay! ....
Then cheer the heart that tolls each hour,
g.. Yet finds it hard to live
And though but Titles in his power,
That little let US give,

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.
And he buried him in a valley in the lant
Moab, over against sBethpeor; but nj
N knoweth Of his sepulchre unto this day
Deut. xxxIv. 6.
: BY Nebo's lonely mountain, ~,
On this side Jordan's wave
Ia vale in the land of Moab, ~
There lies lonely grave.
:Aad no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw it e'er;
For the angels of God upturned the sod,
= And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth,
But no man heard the tranping,
Or saw the train go forth.
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak, on oceans cheek
Grows into the great sun;
Noiselessly as the spring time
Her crown of verdure weayes,
: And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
SO, without sound Of music,
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountains crown,
The great procession swept.
: Perehance the bald old eagle
On grey Bethpeor's height,
Z Out of his rocky eyrie,
: Looked on the wondrous sight.
Perchance the lion stalking
s Still shuns that hallow'd spot;
For beasts and birds have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muffled drum,
Follow the funeral car,
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless steed,
s While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest of the land
: Men lay the sage to rest,
{ And give the bard an honor'd place
with costly marble drest)
In the great minister transept;
Where lights like glories fall, .
And the sweet choir sings, and the organ rings
:, Along the emblazoned wall.
This asthe brayest warrior
: That ever buckled sword;
This the most gifted Poet
That ever brcath'd word
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen
: On the deathless page truths half so sage
Asshe wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor?
The hill. side for his pail,
To lie in state while angels wait
5 With stars for tapers tall; .
And the dark rock pines, like tossing plumes,
Over his bier to wave,
And Gods own hand, in that lonely land,
To lay him in the grave
In that deep grave without name,
Whence his uucofin'd clay
Shall break again, most wondrous thought,
Before the judgment Day;
And stand with glory wrapped around
On the hills he never trod, =
And speak ofthe strife that won our life
With tn Incarnate Son of God.
/ Oh, lonely tomb in Moab's land
oh, dark Bethpeoc's hill !
Speak to these curious hearts Of .urs,
And teach them to be still.
!. God hath his mysteries of grace,
Ways thatwe cannot tell; '-....
He hides them deep like the setret sleep
OF him he loved so well r-

SENATORIAL PORTRAITS

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial contributes, To. the
columns of that sheet the following pen and
ink sketch of some of the more prominent of
our present Federal Senators S 80. X
ri looked in on the Senate today. Gen.
eral Cass is a ponderous old fellow, with a
massive head, which he covers with arusty,
old brown wig, and Keeps opening and shut
ting his mouth and sucking his breath sbes
tween his teeth, as if he constantly tasted
something disaereeable. John NJ. Clayton
is more enormous than Gen. Cass, and his
face, though fat, is magnificent. He is the
best looking man in the Senate, and laughs
heartily at intervals from two to FIVE min
utes. His hair is as white as snow, and his
big eyes glisten all the time intelligence
and humor. Seward is as stalwart; in ap-
pearance as a pair Of tongs. He does not
weigh more than hundred pounds: His
hair is short and looks dead his eyes are
hidden behind pair Of gold spectacles. His
face is thin, pale and wrinklcd, but itslines
are firm, and he appears to be what heis--
a man of restless intellect. Senator Butler,
of South Carolina, is the thiekest at the
waistband, though not uneomfortably heaey.
His facets bright, and his hair. whic6, he
wears long and in a singular confusion, is
white as newly washed lamb, 5 wool. Haie's
appearance indicates that he has been fed
literally on fat pork and butter-milks Pugh
looks younger when among the old, bald or
white headed and big -bellied Senators than
ever before saw-him. A. majority of the
Senators, have naked patches on the. top:of
their heads, and quite half Of them are the
opposite ofslender. They chew tobacco very
much as other folks, SO far as ! could dis
cover, and Immediately after adjournment
several of them lit cigars, and leaning back
to feel comfortable
