The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1868-10-24

Where the joyous sunshine enters not;
Deep iu the gloom Of the cypress shade
There is her home in the cold earth made
And over her still the sweet fow'rets bloom
They were her in life and forsake tomb.
Beautiful flowers, ye seem to be
Linkd in tho fond ties Of memory!
Companions ye to childh0ods day
Companions ye Hfeless clay;
And barren and drear were this world Of ours
Lacking the smile Of the beautiful flowers.
BAD.-From the following paragraphs,
telegraphed from New Orleans on the night
of the 10Th instant, It viii be seen that a

ish, was sacked last night, the press destroy

HoPEFUL.-The leading Democratic organ
Of the Middle States, the Cincinnati Ejaql,ir-
ey, is not disposed to throw up the spunge,
and like a beaten member of the prize ring,
cry enough" In a late number Of that
paper we find the following:
4 gallant soldier, who held a prominent
command in the Z9th Ohio, informs Us that
in the town Of Andover, IN the county Of
Ashtabula, fifty men, heretofore radicals,
have Joined the Democratic club and that
the county viii cast one thousand more votes
than ever before. Ohio is sure to 60 for
Seymour and Blair
How Soon FoRGoTTEN.- lately dead
so soon forgotten 'Tis the way of the
world Men take US by the hand, and are
anxious about the health of our bodies, and
laugh at our jokes; and We really think, Ike
the fly on the wheel, that we have some
thing to do with the turning Of the earth.
Some day we die and are buried. The sun
does not stop for cur funeral; every thing
goes on as usual; we are not missed on the
streets; men still laugh at our jokes though
told by other lips; one or two hearts feel
the wounds Of affection; one or two mem
ories still hold our name and form. But the
crowd moves in the daily circle, and in three
days the great wave of time sweeps oyer our
foot prints and washes out the last vestige
Of eur lives.
