POETICAL,
OVER YONDER.

Over yonder, by the cellars,
in be soon,
Well know the chant they'll murmur
0'er nv tomb.
Soft and low with mo urnlul cadence
They will tell,
Ola dreamer, who, once restless
Now sleeps well.
For know each feeting zephyr
There will HE,
Brcatheing faint its tender love-note
Where lie,
And bending near to my dull ear
In the grave,
Twill kiss the sod, aud gently make
The tall grass wave.
There, too, bright warbling birds will turn
To make their home,
Secure in that neglected place,
No harm can Gomez
And glowing suns shall warm that mound
Where do rest,
Tho earth grow green, the violets blow
Upon my breast
Seeking with beauty and perflmS
To stir again
The old responsive throb, but now
They seek in vain
The wondrous harp Of many strings
All tunelcss lies,
It's smitten chord no answer brings,
Not eyen-sighs.
Yet, will the moon still shed her beam
On that lone spot,
W aking with pensive light tho name
Of one-forgot;
The stars themselves, To- ok plying down
From their fair skies,
To read the little lot of man
With glistning eyes.
Fond nature there, her guard shall keep
Over my head,
And all things bright, and pure, and fair,
Shelter me-dead
And those old friendly cedars tell
When am gone,
OF how life's ftiul fever" passed
] slumber on

The Resignation of Senator Caldwell relieves
him of further anxiety and the Senate of a
dsagreeable duty. This sudden getting out
Of the way by the Senator, as the end Of his
trial was drawing nigh, may be construed as
measure Of safety merely. or, as one may take
his choice confession of guilt At all events
the resignation may generally be accepted as
good thing. 1t is to be hoped no harder sim
ner will succeed him.-BdH. Sun.

A Love Story.

While visiting the Lunatic Asylum on
Blackwell's Island, Miss Loughlan, lady in
charge Of one of the female wards, called a
reporters attention to a pretty fair-haired
girl, about twenty years Of age, who had not
spoken a word since she entered the asylum,
over two years aud half ago. Her name is
Lora Beekman, and her insanity was caused
by disappointment in love. She was engaged
to be married tu u young mar who, shortly be-
fore the appoiated wedding day, left her and
became engaged to another woinan. The
keeper, and his assistants have resorted to
many cxpcdients to make her speak, but her
strange silence remains unbroken. With her
arms tightly drawn over her breast, she sits on
the same stool and listleSsly stares at the walls
the whole day long, recognizing nobody aud
seemingly unconscious Of the presence Of 9TH
crS. The most romantic episode in this dcrang-
ed womau's life is that once year young
man comes and places boquet Of flowers in
her hands, after which he Immediately goes
away. The name aud residence Of this mys-
terious visitor are unknown.-N y Sun.

Happiness is often found at times and in
places when and where it is least expected
The meanest and most Insignificant things
that we stumble upon as they lie in our way
may often be the means of our greatest pros
perity. Never despise or cast away anything
that comes into your possession, however
worthless !! may seem to you in appearance,
until you are certain that it is incapable of
serving any useful purpose. RsgeHe r. HdH.
