LINES on 4 sKRIEroS.


Sixty yearsago the london atoTaaiaa
e2yoniele published a poem entitled:
Lines on skeleton" which excited
much attention Every effort, seYen to.
the offering reward of fifty guineas, was
vainly made to discover the author. All
thateve transpired Mas;a that thepoem,s Z
in a fair, clerkly hand, was found near
skeleton OF remarkable beautysof form
and color, in the museum Of the Royal
College Of Surgeons, Lincoln,s. Inn, Lon
don, and thatthe curator of the museum
had sent them to Mr.. Perry, editor and
proprietorof the slfosnsng ,Ga,'onicle.l

What beauteous visions filled this spo;,
What dreams CT pleasure, long forgot
Nor hope, nor love, nor joy, nor fear,
Has left one trace of record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed,
If with no lawless fire it cleaned,
But through the dews Of kindness
beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars aud suns are sunk ir night.
Within this hollow. cavern hung w
The ready, swift and tunefnl tongues;
/, falsehood's honey it disdained,
Andwhere itcou'd not praise was chained
If bold in virtues cause spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
Tnis silent tongue shsil plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine?
Or with its envieG rubies shine?
To hew tie rock, OF. wear the gem, r,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands archer need shall claim
Than all that wait Wealth or Fame.
Avails it, whether bare or shod
These feet the path OF duty lrod,
If from the bower OF Ease they fed,
To seek Anliction's humble shed;
If Grandeurs guilty bribe they spurneG,
And homo to Virtues cot returned,
These feet with angels wings shall vie
And tread the palace of the sky.

A Sl0ry About Malone.

Virginia's new Senator elect is
physically man in miniature. Men
tally, if his opponents are fit judges,
he weighs something like ton;
but on the scale he tips the beam at
less than hundred pounds. In ap-
pearance he is as lean and thin as a
greyhound; and it is doubtful if his
avoirdupois in gross could be made
to yield adipose sufficient to lubricate
the wing of humming bird. The
following pretty good story illustra-
tive Of his exceeding leanness is told
of him: During the late wal, while
in con- mmand Of division Of Confed-.
crates, ne, like many others, had the
misfortune to be wounded ); but, as it
happened on that occasion, not seri-
ously. An acquaintance, about to
visit Richmond, was requested to
call upon the Generals wife for the
purpose of relieving any anxiety she
might feel on account of h.r absent
lord, by explaining the nature and
extent Of his injury. Col. - called
at the lady's residence, and, as report
goes, found her in tears, she having
already received the news Of her
husbands wouuding by telegraph.
The officer attempted to reassure her
by the statement that the General
would be on duty again in few
days, but without avail.

the beautiful play Of Ingomar gave
much satisfaction, but il seems to the
writer that she makes the heroine, who
suduos the savage chioitain, too much
Of a coquette. Now we do not be-
lieve that q savage can be captured by
artiiciality. An unlearned savage is
= close student Of nature. He can
readily tel when person is sincere.
He IL quick TO detect signs Of unnatur.
alncss. We are inclined 10 the belief
that the part Of Parthenia is that of a
gentle truthful minded classic maiden,
with only one object in view at that
time, and that was the release OF her
father We do not believe she eX-
parieuces feelings Of coquetry, or that
she has q tiirt's desire 10 lay the bar
barian at her feet Neither do we be-
lieve that such 4 savage a InComar is
intended TO he, would be conquered by
6irt With his savage nature he
would intuitively detect signs Of un-
realism. and would like a true son of
nature, despise them. 1t is the gentle,
true, noble, and unselfsh nature Of the
Grccjau maid that LAYS the savage
chieftain NJ her feet, and Ingomar, in
spite Of himself, is dawn towards her,
and Notwithstanding his struggles he is
bound helples>ly by the strong but in
visible chords Of love.
II Miss Gillette had come here rs
good stock actress, we should have no
words for her but those Of praise, but
as she was advertised as an actress
of the first rank, she must be so
judged Her acting has given much
satisfaction; her representations are
pleasing but not powerful enough to
impress the mind long, and soon fade
from remembrance. Some Of her mo-
,ius on the stage were ungraceful, she
having a bad habit of, occasionally.
making pastures that are not pleasing
O. tn eve. Her voice l. remarkably
clear and distinct, and person sitting
at the extreme end Of the ball could /.
hear distinctly almost every word she ,
ltters, and this is no light task. Her
wardrobe Is magnificent.
As regards her support we have Il
word IT praise for Miss Cassie Troy.
The part Of Louise" in Frou Frou,
admirably acted, being full of life,
y.liug md naturalness, and her acting
vas such that We had IA curiosity to see
Ter IN some other leading part, but
we're doomed 10 disappointment as
be other parts allotted to her were in
rior and not strong ones.
