the most august body of men in this country
His form is tall, erect and commanding his
countenance thoughtful his manners smooth and

intelligent and thinking man. With lovely
and accomplished wife aud sweet children. he
resides in model cottage, but one story high,
shaded deeply with old trees, little way out of

our republican institutions when saw that this
great people had come to this embowered cot TO

The Grave of the Beautiful.
BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.

'Tis twilight, and | stand beside her grave!
Hlr grave! Alas, that SO much lovelness
Stoud sink iato he damp, cold earth ! Alas,
That beauty such rs hers should pass away,
And that It's image should exist no more
Save in the hearts Of mourning ones!
Oh, she
Was beautiful as some bright, winged dream
Thatwanders down from Eden's blessed bowers,
And folds its starry plumes within the soul
OF musing bard or sculptor, Forms like hers
OFT pass at eve before The haltclosed eye
They glide like shadows DER our paths, or bend
From the soft edges of a moonlight cloud,
Aud beckon to the sky, but rarely come
Like her to beautity our homes and hoarths
With their abiding smiles.
