The Grave.


M WASHINGTON IRvIEG,
= Oh, the grave the grave Il buries every
ssrror, covers every dsect, extinguishes every
resentment From i've peaceful bosom springs
none bat fond regrets aud tender recoections.
Who can look doVa upon the grave even Of
an enemy, aud Rot feel . cOmpnnotous thtob
that ever be should have warred With the poor
handful of earth that lies moal3ering before
him
But the grave Of those We loved what a
place for meditation Then 1t is that we call
up, in long review, the whole history Of virtue
and gsutlsness, and the thousAnd en1earraeuts
lavished upoa us almost unheeded in the daily
intercourse Of intimscy; then it is that we
dwell upon the tenderness, the solemn, awful
Tenderness of the parting scens; the bed Of
death, with all its stiaed gIiels, its noiseless
attendance, its mute, Watchfu assiduiten the
East testimonies Of expiring love the feeble,
,Auttering, thrilling, oh how thrilling, pres
esure OF the hand, the fond looking Of the gaE
ing eve, turning upou us even from the thresh-
hold Of existence the faint fsltering accents
STRUGGLING in death to give one more Assur-
..anee Of affection
Aye, go to the grave Of buried love, and
mediate There settle the account with thy
.conciencs for every past benefit unrequited--
every past endearment unregarded, of that
aOepArlou DelhR, WHO cAn NEVER heNoEs TeluIn
TO be Eoothed by thy contrition
II thou art a child and hast ever added a
sorrow to the soul or iurrow to the sllvered
sbrow of an afeotionSte parent If thou art n
husband, and hast ever caused the fond bos-
som that ventured its whole happiness in thy
arms, to doubt one moment Of thy kindness or
thy truth; ifthou art friend, and ever wrong
cd, in thought word, or deed, the spirit that
generously eoA6ded in thee il though art u
lover, aud hast ever given one unmerited pang
to that true heart that now lies cold and still
beneath thy feet then be sure that every un-
kind look, every ungracious word, everyi un-
gentle action, will come throRgiug back upon
thy memory, and knocking dolefully at thy
soul, then be sure that thou wilt lie down sor
rowing and repentant on the grave, and utter
the unheArd grosn, and pour the unavailing
tssr-more deep, more bitter because it is un-
heard and unSvRiling.
Then weave thy chaplet Of flowers, and
strew the beauties Of nature about the grave;
console thy broken spirit, ifthou canst, with
these tender, yet futile tributes of regret, but
take warning by the bitterness Of this thy con
trite affection over the dead, and be more
faithful and affeetionate in the discharge o.
thy duties to the living

THE BoLTERs, C0NYESTIoN.

This coDglomeration Of the disloyal and
discordant elements of all the old defuuct
political parties, with the fag-ends OF Kan
sas frauds, rolled themselves up to Topeka
on the 18Th, tumble-bug fashion, represent
ing about two thirds Of the State, for the
ostensible purpose of forming a nucleus
around which would concentrate The sore
heads, coPPerheads, Southern syrnpathisers,
and lastly, the Democratic party-all hay.
ing in view the salvation and redemption of
the State and nation, and possessing the
self-constituted right to foista set Of candi-
dates to govern the people who long since
had rePudiated them as unworthy of conf
dence. As well might Satan offer himself
Willing atonement for sin, as these self
sacrificing frauds to attempt to redeem that
which their merit would only sulIy and
blacken.
After two days Of painful labor they
brought forth a State ticket, which is en-
phaticaliy the poor mans ticket, as any
poor man will get plenty of dirty work to
do, if he supports the ticket and as a
grand inducement, if the ticket is success
full, they propose promoting the most I'M
scruPulous. 1t is thought S. n. Wood
will get 'posish."
What do the fraudtes think of the cit-
zens-of Kansas ? or do they believe them
to be fools, knaves, and disloyal? If so,
they would make fit representatives..
