On Entering the Churchyard.
BY NJ. HOWARD.

would beg leave to drop 4 word, to the CAV
and thouRhtless throng, who are in the habit of
spending their leisure time in the Churchyard :
the sleeping place of our sacred dead. There is
nothing more common, at the present time, than
after church, on Sabbath evening, to take a walk
TO the graveyard, there to view the graves, and
read the Inscriptions on those who rest in that
STILL sacred spot But do you open the gate with
becoming thoughtfulness? do you speak low and
with becoming reverence of those, whose dear
remains are deposited here Do you step softly
among those that rest here, as though you fear to
disturb their slumbers?
Here lie all ages, from the budding infant to
the sIlver-haired old man; here lie youth beauty.
and the heirs Of wealth; the pleasure. taker. and
the child of sorrow and poverty; the care-worn
mother, after years of sorrow, rests here. Move
quietly; tbs the resting place of the dead and is
marked by the eye of God. Oh, how nv heart
mas ached, to witness the rude conduct of many.
while IN the cemetery-loud, vain talk, LAUGHING
and stumbling over he graves as thoughtless as
the brute creation, plucking from the Rose, the
IVY anu the Evergreen, the buds planted by
the hands of affection, as an emblem of love-
How dare you take this privilege? Pause and
reflect, You soon will be numbered with the
pale nations OF the dead, and would YOU not re-
coil with horror from the one who would desc
crate your grGoe? would say to every parent
that 1t Is your duty to lecture your families on
this subject. feel deeply interested in this
subject on which write.
Open that gate with n steady hand
Proceed in thoughtful mood
The holy dead are sleeping there;
Wake not their solitude
left my home when a thoughtless boy,
In distant land to roam
Bat the brightest gem that shone in that Ianl
Was the hope of returning home
reached my home with a grateful heart
Ind eagerly louged to press
The hand of my father warmly in mine.
And feel his fond caress.
but the angel of death has summoned him home
10 dwell in the land of the best;
And they buried him here, in the graveyard mar
Disturb not his sacred rest
With reverence pass where nv father rests
His grave may he plainly seen
FOR ms errlng boy has marked it we'll
With the growing Evergreen
Touch not that grave, We thoughtess onesl
by the eye of God yOu're seen
Nor pluck from his tomb, a blade of grass
Nor that sacred Evergreen
