HUMAN TolL.-The sentence of toll
and the promise of glory have issued from
the same throne. Even our troubles here
may make the material of enJoyments
above the circumspectiou of the earth.-
All are agents in the restorative mercy Of
the Great Disposer; all turu into discip:
line. The obstacles to knowledge, the
struggles of the heart, the thousand rough
nesses of the common path Of man. are
converted into muscular force of the
mind. We are but sowing in the winter
which shall flourish in immortality.-Dr
Croly.
Poor GREAT MozARr.-He died in
great poverty. and bis burial was a sor-
rowful one. He had brain fever: and af>
ter keen suffering he fell asleep peacefully
on the morning Of the 9Th Of December,
l'9l. Next day, at o'clock in the after
noon, his body was carried to a church in
Vienna, where the customary PRAYERS
were said over it in side cha pei. When
the little funeral left the church, it was
raining aud showing fercely, and the
storm continued with such violence, that
on arriving a: the gates Of the city. the
few who had accompanied poor Mozart's
remains, resolved 10 return. The body
went to the grave unattended by single
relative or friend. No loved or loving
ones stood by the edge of his tomb as The
coffin was lowered into the ground The
man who had charge of the sad business
hustled him into common grave, and
coon hurried away, without marking the
spot where the great Mozart slept! And
Constance, the patient, devoted wife of
Mozart. was so i'll as to be unconscious of
his death. But after while she recoy-
cred, and when she went with weak, faint
steps to search her husbands grave, the
unhappy woman found that the grave
maker had no recollection of where he had
laid him. And to this day 10 one knows
where the great Mozart lies buried.

POETRY.
The Place Where Man should Die.


How little recks it where men die,
When once the moments past,
In which the dim and glazing eye
Has looked on earth its last;
Whether beneath its sculptured urn
The coffin'd form shall rest,
Or in its nakedness return
Back to its mothers breast?
Death is common friend or foe,
As different men may hold,
And at his summons each must go
The timid and the bold
But when the spirit free and warm
Deserts it, as it must,
What matters where the lifeless form
Dissolves again to dust?
The soldier falls mid corses piled
Upon the battle plain,
Where reinless war steeds gallop wild
Among the mangled slain;
but though his corpse be grim to see,
Hoof-trampled on the sod,
What recks it when the spirit free
Has SCARED aloft to God?
The towards dying eye may close
Upon his downy bed,
And softest hands his limbs compose.
Or garments Ger them spread;
But ye who shun the bloody fray,
Where fall the mangled brave,
Go-strip the coffin lid away
And see him in his grave.
Twere sweet, indeed, to close our eyes
With those we cherished near,
And waited upward by their signs,
Soar to some calmer sphere:
But whether. on the scaifold high,
Or in the battles van,
The fittest place where man can die,
Is where he dies for man!
