[For the CoURIER.1
East Rock Monument.

by Kew Phebe A. Hanaford.1
The morning breaks and sheds its light above
The sleeping city far outspread below
The sun arising bathes the rocky height
And in its welcome beams the statues glow.
High over all the olive branch of peace
Spreads the far signal of q land at rest;
And reverent souls in memory Of the brave,
Hail the bright token of a nation blest.
With patriot pride we point to other days,
To men Of valor, women pure and true,
And write their names on flames emblazomed scroll
Who dare to strive till right the victory knew.
In earliest time, In far colonial days,
True freedom had her heroes and her friends;
And names familiar glow upon the page
Which tells our country's tale to earth's far ends.
In later years when Britain cast the glove,
When Mexic's boldneSs won a swift rebuke,
Our fathers babe the flag triumphant wave
Till peace stilled echoes which the wars aWoke.
And now we strew the flowers with tender thoughts
Where rests the dust of those we know SO well;
Glad that they were heroic, though our hearts
Ache with the longings language cannot tell.
God of the height God Of the martyrs bravel
God Of the flag which tells of freedom far!
Let not our sacrifices prove in vain
Still higher bid ascend our country s star
And when at last an arbitration Just
The world shall gladly hail in place Of might.
Still shall this monument the story tell
OF human progress toward triumphant right.

And ana olive Branch SeDsafion-A
Charming Romance of a Local 20.
Mtical Nature.
Said man about town yesterday: "The
pretty little story in Yesterdays Palladium,
printed in prominent place, headed w. d.
Barnum in town; his olive branch not APP
preciated by the local Democrats etc., read
to me like romance and accidentally I
learned firstly, that Mr.. Barnum did not
tender any olive branch; secondly, the olive
branch not having been rendered, nobody
knows exactly how the local Democrats felt
about it; thirdly and lastly, W. ii. Bar
mum was not in town at all and consequently
the olive branch story was quite romantic
for 90, standard journal as the P alladiun.
The fact is that Mr.. Barnum was to have
been here at the Union depot to meet a prom
inent railroad official in reference to some
freighting arrangement or new freight tariff
but was unavoidably detained and the truth
ishe was not in the State" The Palladium
story read as follows:
civilian r. Barnum, the great mule buy
er, spent several hours in the city yesterday
in consultation with leading Democrats who
are firmly resolved to kick like steers' unless
the administration pledges itself not TO reap
point the present collector of Internal reve-
nue. in this district.
1T has been freely stated that certain mem
bers of the Connecticut delegation to the ma
tional Democratic convention are in posses
sion of document, bearing several hundred
signatures, asking for the removal of C0llec-
tor Troup, and alleging that unless the asked
for pledge is given hundreds of Democrats
will refuse to endorse the Democratic nomi-
nees for national offices.
"Mr. Barnum is one of Mr.. Troup's frmest
friends and he has expressed that friendship
in substantial manner by signing the lat
ter's bond. Mr.. Barnum hopes to reconcile
| the warning factions and it is said he came te
New Haven yesterday bearing flag of truce
and an olive branch.
If reports are true the flag wasn't met hall
way. Town Agent Reynolds is one of thu
| Democrats with good memory, and he ii
| said to be just as firm as ever in his intention
| not to throw away the knife until the collee
| tors official head drops into the basket"

Departed souls! At last you sleep
Beneath those silent mounds
Where warning drums NO more repeat,
Nor cannon's roar resounds-
At last your rest is undisturb'd,
In quiet your repose;
At last beneath the sod you find
Protection from your foes.
Approach not yon grave Of the dead
That holds q nations trust
Without due reverence for We tread
On consecrated dust;
Nor linger DER this holy bier
Without your grateful hearts
Returning TO the dust laid here
Tho thanks which peace imparts.
For those brave souls who thus were slain
nations life to save
Beneath these sacred mounds are lain
An almost nameless grave.
Obi men OF cares and men of mirth
And gray haired men Of state,
Go to that silent spot of earth
Go there and mediate!
Then scatter on each hero'S grave
The wreath so dearly woni
Let that small flag above him wave,
His race was nobly run
And he has long since reach'd that goal,
