Robe the beautiful for the tomb
We may no longer stay her;
She has passd away in budding bloom,
In vestal white array her.
One single auburn tress we crave
Before her face ye cover:
Why should the cold and grasping grave
Take all from those wEo love her
Bear the beautiful to the tomb
While yet the sun is shining,
Ere the shadows and evening gloom
Denote the days declining.
Bear her softly and slowly on
Disturb no placid feature;
Deep the sleep she's fallen upon,
The last of mortal creature.
Lay the beautiful in the tomb;
Beneath the weeping willow
Let the maiden have sleeping room,
And softly spread her pillow.
Angels hasten from realms of bliss,
Their watch above her keeping:
Dear to the heart of the Father is
The place where child is sleeping.
Leave the beautiful in the tomb;
There may be others fairer;
laughter heads may wave a plume
With glory to the wearer;
But so beautiful and so good


Think they who dearly held her
Earth in its lovelcst sisterhood


May never have cxcclFd her.

IHE UREAT EASTERN HREDICTED.-Slnce the Great

from Philadelphia to Liverpool. After a pleasant
passage of about twenty days, made Cape Clear,
and afterward several British sea steamers
which the Captain seemed very much to admire as
such fine boats, and in the course of conversa-
tion used to me nearly the following words: fY You
may not live to see them, or | either but the time

been originally an English one, for Capt. Mearken
SAID good deal and spoke very positively on the
subject believe he is now dead and gone, but his
prediction is verified, and believe that his idea of
great steamer was correct in every point. Ihave
crossed the Atlantic many times, and have been
on board the Great Eastern and examined her
thoroughly. fully believe that she can cross the
Atlantic in eight days that she is the swiftest,

water for her fully loaded, at New York and Liv-

The Republicans are becoming more and
more abusive of Douglas, as the campaign
advances. Their sympathies are altogether
with ths Breckinridgers.. 1t is manifest on
all occasions. Wherever q Douglas man and q
Breckinridger are conversing, there steps up
Republican and Immediately joins the
Breckinridger in running down the chances
of the Democratic party in this State or the
Union, You would suppose, till you found
him out, that he was thorough Secession
lists, when he is only an ultra on the other
extreme.


The course of the Republicans, in this con-
test, towards Douglas has been detestable.-
Hating him like poison, they have neverthe>
less ndustriously circulated or helped their
Breckinridge sympathizers to circulate ru-
mors to the effect that Douglas said thus and
so to Burngame, wrote letters favoring Ba-
ker's election, wanted to join the Republican
party o and all such damnable SANDERS and
falsehoods. Fighting all the time against him,
with all their main and might, their presses
all over the North viIlifying him, their ora
tors denounciHg him from every stump, yet
they catOh up every false report that may be
ahoat, to make it appear to the weak minded
and ignorant that Douglas has expressed a
friendly feeling for the Republican party and
that he would fain be with them We have
no language to measure the ineffable scorn
which We have for men who would resort to
such tactics. Surely their brazen brows must
blush in secret at their own baseness


They are helping now with all their might
to create the idea, that the late fusion in
Oregon is having fearful effect upon the
Douglas cause that it is occasioning perfect
stampede from the Douglas party. oh the
hypocritesl They know full well that
neither Douglas nor his party (Which is the
Democracy of the Union) had anything
whatever to do with that coalition in Oregon.
They know that on the contrary the whole
thing from its alpha to its omega has been
and is now repudiated by the Douglas and
johnson Democracy of the nation. Yet, they
will harp upon it assiduously and echo every
unscrupulous statement of the enemies of
Douglas respecting it.


Their game is to divide the Old Line De
mocracy as nearly as they can between
Douglas and breckenridge. They see that
Douglasi is the stronger. and so they want to
strengthen the Breckenridge side by helping
to make southern men believe that Douglas
sympathizes with them. Sensible people see
