Old Grave-Ya
BY CHARLES QUAINT.

There il something about these old, fu IL
tenanted resting places Of the dead, that is
20 HE irresistihly attractive. 1t is, perhaps,
because SO few Others visit them, that love
to wander through their thickly settled
solitudes making paths for myself fro,h
grave to grave, through the rank weeds and
matted swad-grass: or, Pausing at sunken
mound, to sit down before its head-stone,
which itself is bowed and infrm With age,
and decipber the moss-filled inscription.
We love, indeed-ani the pleasure is,
perhaps, less sombre and more refned--:o
walk through the sm ooth-bordered paths OF
Greenwood, where our los; friends are cared
for; and the thought of death is pleasanter,
when we think ..ot the shady plot that we
have hedged in and planted with rose-trees,
rs the abiding place of our deserted body
thereafter. We would not have the weeds
grow upon our mothers grave, nor let a
fathers moss-incrusted tombstone be a
monument of fiIal forgetfulness. Yet there
are grave yards, full of such: every village
has one. Even in those in which refined
and modern taste has laid out and adorned
a new cemetery, the old graveyard on the
hill is only the more deserted and given
over to decay.
1t is when we are weary with wandering
through these stately cities of the dead ,and
are sated with marble magnifcence-for it
only shows how unavailing are all our ef-
fors TO fill the vacant lniche in our hearts
with representative OF stone, or carve OFF
tongueless anguish upon the quarried block
lit is then that we find a relief in rowing
through these wsedy neglected places, where
the dead of long ago repose. We look at
the quaint carving, and wonder at the taste
of .hose whose idea of an angels face was
SO stony. We put our finger into the time
worn figures to trace the half-ubliterated
late. The simple lines that grief has
chiselled beneath-for the ma tural express
sion of sorrow is poetical-in their un-
familiar garb of capita Is and antique abb
breviations, touca 10 as they would not else
where.
We can all readily recall to mind such a
place as this. There is one not Ear from
here, which has many interesting memori-
1
ais, and has, imagine, become wonted to
the sound of my footsteps. 1t crowns an
eminence that overlooks the beautiful eX-
pans of the iappun Sea- Let us visit it,
if you please. We might easily overeap
The wall, for i, cannot be higher than was
that of Romulus; but, mindful of the Ia
mentable result of Remus' wont of rever-
ence, we will remove the wooden staple by
which the gate swings open, and will go in
more ssedately. We may walk where swe
will; there are no fnger-posts to direct us
along pebbled avenues, or warn us of the
gruss. Long and rank is the grass, for no
scythe has known it; no imPious rake has
ventured to disturb the fallen leaves.
We walk up to- curious pile of brick
end stone, which we find to be the ruins OF
family vault Of the last century. 1t is
rooaess, and bricks fallen from the edges OF
the walls lie scattered about. The mortar
has scanned and erumbled; moss and l;chens

EVENING STARs.-The larger Planets
now visible in the evening aker. sunset
are Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, OF
these, the three first mentioned are to Oe
seen in the western sky, and the last in the
eastern. Venus, the brightest Of all, is now
a little to the west of Jupiter, but appears
to be approaching nearer and nearer TO that
body Oh each succeeding evening. Her an-
gu!ar distance fiom Jupiter will Oe mini
mum on the Ilth instant. when she will go
TO the eastward, passing about two degrees
to the north of Jupiter; her motion will con-
tinue to be direct until the eth instant,
when it will become retrograde f; her bril-
!iancy will increase and be at its maximum
degree only on the 4th of April, at which
time it will begin to diminish until the 10th
OF May, when the planet, being then in her
inferior conjunction, will cease for u time
to be the evening star, and passing through
that part of her orbit which is nearest to the
earth, will rcappear in the east before sun

nlfceht glances, and Julia, em6oldened
again spoke.
"And must you not admit, sir, that it i
the work of-of-ef sp--"
"Spirits! No." was the crusty rejoinder
"Mg daughters" said l, mildly, "yo
should remember that this is not Madam
Pazzh The conjuress, you put your questions
to, but the eminent naturalist, Protesso
Johnson. And now, Professor" | added
be pleased to explain. Enlighten our ig
norance"
Without repeating that the learned gen.
tleman said--for, indeed, though lucid, he
was litile prosy-let the following sum
mary Of his explanation suffice.
The incident was not wholly without ex-
ample. The wood of the table vas apple
tree, sort of tree much fancied by various $
ipsecis. The bugs had come from eggs
laid inside the bark of the living tree in
the ofes2. By careful examination of the
position of the hole from which the last bug
had emerged, in relation to the cortical
layers of the slab, and then allowing for the
inch and half along the grain. ere the bug
had eaten its way entirely out, and then
computing the whole number af cortical
layers in the slab, with reasonable con-
lecture for tAe number cut off from the out
side, it appeared that the egg must have
been laid in the tree some ninety years,
more orless, before the tree could have
been felled. But between the telling of
the tree and the present time, how long
might that be! 1t was very old: fashioned
table. Allow eighty years for the age of
the table. which would make one hundred
and fifty years that the bug had laid in the
egg. Such, at least, was Professor John
sons computation.
"Now, Julia" said l, "after that scientific
statement of the case (though, confess, |
don't exactly understand it,, where are your
spirits? IL is very wonderful as it is, but
where are your spritsl''
"Where, indeed" said my wife.
"Why, now, she did not really associate
this purely natural phenomenon with any
crude spiritual hypothesis, did she!" OBJ
served the learned Professor, with slight
sIeer.
''Say what you WILL" said Julia, holding
up, in the covered tumb!er, the glorious,
lustrous, flashing, live opal, ssay what you
will,if this beauteous creature be not
spirit, yet teaches a spiritual lesson
For if. after one hundred and fifty years
entombment, mere insect comes forth at
last into light, itself en effulgence, shall
there be no gloritied resurrection for the
spirit of man! Spirits! spirits!" she ex-
claimed, with rapture, 81 still believe in
spirits, only now believe in them with
delight, when before but thought of them
with terror"
The mysterious insect did not long enjoy
its radiant life; it expired the next day.
But my girls have preservedit. Embalmed
in a silver vnaigrette, it lies on the little
appIe-tree table in the pier of the cedar
parlor.
And whatever lady doubts this story, my
lans;sse=s ~ = o. -h.arr Ie-shnW- her both

The following lines, by William Wintel
are copied from the Boston TrGnscrspf:-
There hangs star in the western sky
Meriy blows the wind BY night!
1t wrinkles and glows like an angels eye,
And the sky is blue and the snew is white
And merriIy blows the wind By night.
'Tis the star of Love that Igaze on there
Merrily blows the wind by night.
And it speaks 10 my heart o the good and fair
That forever and ever have left my sight:
All, drearily sobs The wind by night
Some in the grave yards lie asleep
Merily blows the wind BY night!
Over them SHOWS are driited deep,
Cold as their bones, and pure and white
But merily blows the wind by night!
And come there are whose naughty hearts
Are frozen hard with shame and sin:
No lone OF music e'er departs,
No fay Of sunshine entersin:
Coz like the snow, but not SO white
While merily blows the wind by night
And one there is whose gentle eyes
Seem yet 70 thrill me from tar;
Whose memory In my bosom lies
- As the pure light of thatc cold star.
She loved me once but woman is light,
Changeful aud false as the snow SO white
And mernly blows the wind by night.
This life Of ours is wild unr est,
And light and shadow and joy and woe;
And then the sod is over US prest,
And merrily on the winds doblow.
And the selEsame stars that shine to night
VIII shine OF our graves when We are gone
: sAnd she SNOW willcover us, tranquil and white
While the musical winds blow merriiy on.
For the sky is blue and the snow is white
And merrily blows the wind by night.
Shine on, thou beautiful star, shine on.
. In the brilliant beauty, bold and bright
For fhe world in darkness waits the dawn--
And merrily blows the wind by night!
Let hearts grow cold that once were glad,
And eyes, once bright, grow dim and sad,
And cheeks turn pale. and slow decay
An6 feser waste our forms away;
Yet. in the radiant home above,
Shine on'-snd bear us talk of love.
Shine on o let al the ghnstly sight,
And bark TO the wind that sings by night
To the jolly old wind that sings by night!
For the sky is blue and the snow is white
And merrily blows the wind by night

Fashionable Wedding.

-Four and twenty b.i9e-grooms. all i'll a row.
-Four and twenty dandies, dressed from top to toe
-Four and twenty grimaces four and twenty smiles
And the carriages extending four and twenty
miles;
-Four and twenty brides maids, dressed in hoops
and feather,
Eight and forty Ministries, standing all together.
The bride ringed and jeweled,
The groom gloved and glum,
And both of them look foolish,
And both of them are dumb.
A thousand spectators,
a To see this pretty match;
A thousand tongues to whisper
'ile,S made quite CATCH"
Eighty and forty ninnies,
Marching out OF church,
Like 80 many schOol-boys.
Running rom the birch.
oh, Ihe funniest sight to look upon that ever
did see,
1'he world makes great iuss tor nothing, seems
10 me.

'But never. in hex varied sphere,
Is woman TO the soul more dear,
Than when the homely task she plies,
With cheerful duty in her eyes,
And every lewly path well trod,
Looks meekfy upward TO her God"
