IFRoM THE BOSTON REcoRDER-l
The Ocean Burial.


A group stood on vessels deck
And ganed with faces sad,
Upon the still and lifeless form
Of a young friendless lad.
Day after day his cheek had paled,
As Ger the oceans foam.
The proud ship sped with rapid fight
Far from his native home.
Day after day his eye grew dim,
As gazing on the deep,
He thought that soon beneath its waves
His frame must calmly sleep,
twas in the quiet hush of night
His spirit passed away,
With no kind friend beside his couch
To watch and with him pray.
And then beneath the oceans breast
They laid the lifeless form;
And DER him go the white winged ships,
And sweeps the raging storm.

PoETICAL DUN.

The following exquisite lines, after
the fashion of Longfellow's Hiawatha,
are worthy piece in our columns.
Their authorship is unknown. We
hope our readers will not be too high
ly wrought up by this effusion, although
we commend it to them as worth care
full perusal
Should you ask us why this dnnning,
Why these sad complaints and murmers
Murmurs loud about delinquents
Who have read the papers weekly,
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read of church affairs and prospects,
Read of news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full of wisdom and instruction
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly
Should you ask us why this dunning,
We should answer, we would tell you
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper-maker,
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man who takes the letters
With stamp from Uncle Samuel;
Uncle Samuel the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes a message,
Message kind, but firmly spoken,
Please to pay US what you owe us
Sad it is to hear such message,
When our funds are exhausted,
When the last bank note has left us,
When the gold coin all has vanished,
Gone to pay the paper maker,
Gone to day the telling priuter,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay old Uncle Samuel;
Uncle Sam the rodies call him;
Gone to pay the Western paper,
Three and twenty hundred dollars.
Sad it is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger,
Turn and see what sums are due us,
\
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due despite our patient waiting,
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from two to twenty.
