ZACHARY fAYL0R's GRAVE.

In his Message to the Legislature OF Ken.
lucky Gov. McCreary says: THE grave
that contains the moldering remains Of
Zachary TAYLOR. who was at one time
President of the United States. is situated
in Jefferson county, In sight of the tall
spires OF the metropolis of Kentucky. and
is unmarked by monument. 1t is true
that this man. who spent his whole life in
the service of his country, who proved his
patriotism on near 100 battle fields. and
who had the Office OF President bestowed
upon him for his valor. integrity and iidel-
ity. needs no monument to perpetuate the
blazonry OF his deeds or the purity and
simplicity of his character. He has a
monument already in the hearts of his
countrymen that will endure forever. Yet
| believe that q nation is elevated and
given dignity and Importance at home and
abroad by its great and good men who
reveal its existence and give il prominence
and monument should be erected TO his
memory that will ever stand with its mute
eioquence to attest to the world the honor.
the reverence, and the esteem accorded
TO his valor and his virtues by his country
men. He was brought to Kentucky by his
parents when only months old, and ever
afterward claimed his house in our Com
mOnwealth; yet his distinguished civic
and military service make him belong TO
the whole country. therefore recon-
mend that his remains be removed by Ken
lucky. to the State military lot in the GEM
etery at Frankfort, and that a resolution
be adopted by the General ASS mbly call
ing upon the Congress OF the Cnited
States to erect monument over his
grave"

Some people think much of po-
lite dignity and Others think more
of cordial familiarity. The follow
ing pleasant story is a happy illus
tration of the fact that the same
man may command the respect of
persons of both preferences. At
least, so it was in the case of the
late DR.. Sprague and bis worthy
son in their relations with one Of
our most genial pastors. This is
the case in proof:
The late DR.. Sprague, of Albany,
was a gentleman of the old school
type, Of remarkable courteousness
Of manner and of corresponding
reverence Of feeling. He never
triaed with the names of prominent
men, and it is hardly probable that
he could suppose that any one
would use his name with undue
familiarity. One day at the tea
table, one Of his sons, then in busi-
ness in Albany, but living at his
fathers house, spoke of Charley
Bridgman." The name arrested
his fathers attention and he said /:
My son, of whom are you speak
ing p
"0f Mr.. Bridgman, father" was
the reply.
"Not of the Rev. DR.. Bridgman,
surely, William ?"
"Why yes, father, why not?"
Why not, my son? Because
such familiarity connected with a
prominent preacher is unbecoming
| am quite surprised and shocked
at your freedom; and l hope he
has no knowledge of it?"
Why, yes, he has, father. |
have called him Charley to his
face"
Charley to his face; and does
he call you William ?"
Well, no, father, no; l CAM
say that he does"
Well, what does he call you
them"
Generally he calls me "Bill."
This was too much for the good
doctor, and with ill-suppresseC
sympathy with the mirth that rane
round the ea-table, he made goo(
his retreat.
