to that paper in reference 10 the deceased
statesman.
..When he stopped" remarks this cor
respondent, "at the antique, shaded holei
al Ballston, where he died, il was noticed
how he would take his chair out under the
wide spreading elms and entertain his
landlord, and the plain old-fashioned peo-
pie who gathered about him. delighted

and the philosophical humor, and shrewd-

his Keen bright eve. At other times he

he fell asleep. And this, indeed, was the
way in Which he fell asleep on the noon
of Independence Day. He had retired to
his chamber, put his boots in the usual
corner, put on his dressing gown, ,and then
laid down with Knights edition of Ba-
cons Essays--a small red quario volume,
with illustrations. When he was found,
he was still on his bed; his eyes were qui-
etly closed: on one side were The specta-
lcIes, on the other the well-remembered
snuff-box, and on his breast lay The book
he so much oved--that immortal eprome
OF human wisdom--,he Essays OF Bacon;
and over it were clasped his hands, hug
ging il TO his heart. Such was his final
sleep--peaceful, serene, and worthy OF
so great life--in the midst Of the thun-
dcrs which commemora,ed the birth day
OF the nation whose fame and power he
bad done so much TO uphold and extend.
What page il was on which the volume
was opened know not. Perhaps il was
on that most appropriate passage where
the great philosopher thus discOurses Of
Death"
"A mind fixed and bent on somewhat
that is good doth avert the colors Of death
but above all, believe it, the sweetest can.

hath obtained worthy ends and expecta-

A BRIDES REFLECTION.
BY AMELIA KATE.

A sadness steals within my breast
cannot from my bosom spurn ;
Though nature wears its brightest smile:
On this, my festive, bridal morn.
In vain would from each anxious gaze
Now hide the tears that gather fast,
And crush the tide of memories
That through my trusting bosom pass
'Tis not mstrust that he on whom
My hearts deep love | now bestow
Will prove unworthy of the boon,
Or ever cold and careless grow.
All, no I'm thinking of the time
When, far from my parental home,
Thoughts of the past and loved ones left
Will rise, for sure such time will come
I'm thinking Of fathers love,
A mothers kind and tender care
That ever. from my life's FIRST hour
Have followed me with anxious prayer
I'm thinking Of the sad farewell,
The pressure of the loving hand,
The vacant seat that will leave
When turning from the household band
'Tis sad to leave the dear old glade,
That with such sweet enjoyments blend
Where sing the birds beneath the shade
And bloom the flowers l love TO tend
Yet from those scenes of early love,
| 60, without mislrust or fear
Brothers, and sisters, loved ones, all,
In this sad hour, how dear we are.
