Of hlmTu life It ever loved so much,
And throb again, warm, tender, true to thee.
I believe, If ou iu-y grave,

Your eyes-should drop some warm tears of re

From every saltsted of your dearest grief,
Some fair swept blossom would leap up in leaf,
To prove death could not make my love forget.
I believe If I-Bhould fade
Into thoso mystic realms where light Is made,
And you should long once more my face to see.
I would oomo forth upon the hills of night.
And gather stars like fagots till thy sight.
Led by the beacon blaze, fell full on me.

Strong as my life, so nobly placed to be,

THE BOUND BOY.
‘I don't care !’ sobbed Julius Kingsley.
‘You’re real mean—so you are 1’ And
he throw himself down on a pile of dis
jointed kindling wood in a paroxysm of
childish rage.
'ls that the way to talk to me ?’ angrily
demanded Mrs. Parley, bestowing a cor
dially given box on either, side of the
doomed young victim’s bead, 'and you
nothing on earth but a bound boy ! I
hu’nt ho patience with you—and Job
himself wouldn’t have I’
'Gently, mother, gently. What’s the
matter now ?' demanded Farmer Parley,
cautiously thrusting, his sunburnt shock
of hair Into the wood-shed door.
•Matter!’ echoed Mrs. Parley. ‘Why
just, just look here! Thom wheels "Off
the old wheel-harrow bysted up to the
ruff,'with the second-hand harness you
bought o’ Deacon Silsbury, and the strips
for the new rag carpet—and all the wood
tumbled dowr. higgledy-piggledy, to
make room for it. And the hens ain't
fed, and the cows ain't goile after—and
there ain’t nothin’ done that ought to be!
I tell you I huiu’t no paitenco with his
oxperlmentft’und his tiicks. Get up Ju
lius, this minute, ami go for the cows;
and nbt a mouthful of supper will you
get this night.! *,
Julius Kinga|ey obeyed sulkily, and
with down-propping bead. He was a
blight-looking boy of about thirteen,
with dark grey eyes and thick brown
hair, which hung over a low square fore
in ud ; and as he walked he clenched his
boyish hands, until the nails indented
the llesh in crescent shaped marks.
‘I won’t stand it!’ muttered Julius to
himself. ‘TbeyWe no business to treat
me so.'
Ami then the wrathful mood subsided
In some decree, as he remembered the
many deeds of kindness ho had received
from both Mr. and Mrs. Parley—the care
in sickness, the neatly mended clothes,
the many little tokens of watchfulness so
nnw and grateful to the orphan boy ; and
liitlo alice, too, who trotted at his heels
when he went to gather apples In the or
chard, and thought of the wooden toys
his ingenious jack-knife furnished the
most marvelous of creation.
'I suppose X am a trial, 1 sighed Julius;
‘but she needn’t have torn all my ma
chinery down ; and then to box my ears,
too! r
It was rather a derogatory process to
the boyish dignity of thirteen.
‘You ain't in earnest about bis supper,
mother? said Farmer Parley, aa they sat
down to the well-spread evening board.
‘Yes, I be. Have some quince sass,
Alice?’
‘Remember he’s a growing boy,* plead
ed her husband.
‘I can’t help that; he’s got to learn to
behave himself. There ain’t no other
wiy of managin’ him. It was only yes
terday be blowed the'lopoff my beat pre
aarvlu ban, to show Alice how a steam
boat worked, and Inst week Inmost got
poisoned with a bottle of some stuffhe’d
got tucked away on the shelf that X took
for vinegar.*
'Sulphuric acid, mother,’ said little
Alice. ‘lt was to—”
‘I don’t care what it was for,’ inter
rupted the farmer’s wife. ‘Julius cau
behave well enough when he’s a mlud
to, and he’s got to.’ And the farmer
knew from the way his wife compressed
her lips together, that she was in unmiti
gated earnest.
Julius Kingsley went supperless to his
room, but before he had begun to un
dress, a soft knock came to his door, and
Alice’s voice whispered :
‘Julius! Julius!’
‘What is it ?’
‘Open the door. I’ve got a piece of
peach pie for you, and two rusks and a
bowl of milk.'
•But what will your mother say, Alice?'
'She’s gone to Mrs. Badger’s, and she
thinks I’m in bed, but I got up and
dressed myself. I couldn'n sleep, Julius,
thinking how hungry you must bo.'
And she nestled down close at the hound
boy's side, as ho eagerly devoured the
supper, which was brought him.
't was hungry, Alice,’ said Julius, us
he took a long draught of milk, and you
are a good little thing. I’ll do as much
for you some day.'
Alice laughed.
■I don’t got Into scrapes like you Jull-
That’s no sign you never will.’
Mrs. Parley, secretly relenting lu the
depth of her mother's heart, gave Julius
the brownest cakes and the juolest bit of
-moat for breakfast, the next morning,
‘lie'll behave himself now, I guess,j
she tl i-light; but in this she was mis
taken.
Julius Mid up’ his chores iu tho short
est possible period of time, that afternoon
when Mrs. Parley hud betaken herself to
the Sewing Circle with little Alice, and
the farmer was going to the neighboring
village, and applied himself with more
zeal than discretion !o the further pros©
l-U-'Jon in hi a “XpVvtiUOhl hid! had euHpd
•'(» .■>: ih*.- nv»s*jiv»ng can.
•The vt-* fe----I?* -•?. ■ot aica*.plough'
hdius, 'anr, 1 /.'.■*■»’ .i niAtvA ! ; l.uf
work.'"
Vain unction to lay to hia soul ; for
just aa that experiment, whatever it hap
*pened to be, reached the caluminatiug
point, up flew the tea kettle from the
stove, tortured by too much caloric, and
bang wont the iron lid, right into tho
dresser cupboard, that held Mrs. Parley’s
best set of china. ■ ■
Julius stood staring aghast ut the ruin.
All housekeepers have their domestic
idols, and this new ’iron atone’ set was
Mrs. Parley's. The teapot lay noiseless
and demolished before his eyes, three
cups were broken, and the handle was
dashed off from the cream pitcher, while
the knob was chipped neatly? off*tho cov
er of the sugar bowl.
Julius only paused for one glance at
tho general ruin, then ho turned and fled
inglorlously from this Waterloo ’of his
scientific efforts. And the next,day, all
Brlckertoo knew that farmer Parley's
bound boy had run awuy, after first de
molishing all of Mrs. Parley's china, out
of sheer revenge, because she had boxed
bis ears the day before.
‘I always knew that boy wouldn’t
come to no good,' said Deacon Jones.
•There was a vicious look in his eyes,’
croaked Miss Lavlua Denham, ‘and 1
only wonder he didn’t sot fire to the
house or burn you all iu your beds.’
But little Alice cried bitterly, and
treasured more tenderly , than ever, a
goggle-eyed doll, with arms out uf all
proportion, and feet several degrees larg
er than her head, was the lust
wooden exploit Julius had presented to
her.
*l'll never have another bound boy,*
asserted Mrs. Parley.
‘Well, well,’ sighed the farmer, ‘how
time does slip away from us, to be sure !
Alice is nineteen to-day, and it don’t
seem right she should be away from us
on her birth-day. Bbe’s been three
months In the city, now, wife.’
‘Yes,’ said Mrs. Parley,- nodding her
head sagely, 'and I don’t believe she’ll
come home alone, neither.’
'Eh !’ the farmer opened wide his blue
eyes; ‘you don’t s’pose she’s engaged to
that Mr. Clinton ?’
‘You men are so slow to put two and
two together,’ said Mrs. Parley with a
conscious smile. I’ve susplcloned it this
long while, and Mrs. Carter writes that
it’ll be a splendid match, and half the
young ladles in Boston are envying our
little country girl. Only think, won't it
be nice to have our Alice a rich lady,
living In a big house in Boston?’
Mr. Parley stared steadfastly at the
fire. ,
‘Who is he, any way?' ho asked In a
troubled voice. ‘She’s all the child we’.vo
got, wife. We can’t give her to a man
without knowing who and what he is.’
‘You needn’t worry,’ said his wife,
with the superior calmness of one who is
posted. 'He’s as steady going as you be
yourself—at least so Mrs. Carter.writes—
and he’s an inventor, whatever they may
be. Any way, he made a great fortune
out of a patent he sold to the govern
ment. Alice won’t have to work all her
days as hard as I have done, and that’s
one comfort.’
And when Alice’s shy.letter, which
implied far more than it told, intimated
thatsho was coming home under Mr.
Clinton’s escort, the old farm house was
duly swept and garnished for the recep
tion of the honored guest. Mrs. Parley
put on her best black silk, and the far
mer donned his butternut suit, which
seemed to him us gorgeous aa it had been
on the day ho bought it, twenty good
years ago.
‘I wonder which train they will come
in,* said Mrs. Parley, reflectively. ‘ X
should hale the worst kind to have that
turkey spoiled.’
But such a catastrophe was happily
averted, for the travelers arrived ns the
stormy twilight made the glow of the
the great wood fire doubly grateful—
there was the crunch of wheels In the
deep snow without, the opening of the
door, and then Alice was In her moth
er’s arms. In the back ground a tall,
figure stood stately, dignified, and self
contained, with jet black hair and grave
violent gray eyes, and the farmer - made
his beat bow as Alice introduced ‘Mr.
Clinton,’ with a deep red flush upon her
cheek.
‘You must like him very much, father,
for my sake,* she said, ‘because I. have
promised to be his wife.’
When the hospitable meal was over,
and Mrs. Parley came in from the kitchen,
pulling down the sleeves that bad been
rolled up above her elbow, and tying on
a clean checked apron, Alice sprang to
her feet.
‘Mother,’ said she, with tier face all
smiles and dimples, ‘Mr. Clinton has
brought you a present.’
’A present!' cried Mrs. Parley.
‘And father must get a hammer and
screw-driver, and open it very carefully,
for it’s china,'
‘China?’
‘Yes, real china, imported from Can
ton ; so transparent that you can look
through it lu colors of life. Ob, it is beau
tiful.’
She stood by, gleefully clapped her
hands ns the treasures were unpacked,
and enjoyed her mother’s delight as the
beautiful, fragile things, one by one,
made their appearance ■•from countless
wrappings of silver paper.
‘How kind it is of you, Mr. Clinton I’
said Mrs. Parley, looking up with beam
ing eyes. 'I always did set store by
china.
‘Not kind at all,’ said the young man
quietly ; ‘it is simply the settlement of a
very old debt.’
‘A debt!’ repealed the farmer’s wife,
with puzzled eyes. ‘I don’t tliluk I fair
ly understand you, Mr. Clinton.’
Ho smiled.
‘lt is to replace the sot I broke, trylug
experiments, twelve years ago.'
Mrs. Parley started, beginning to have
uncomfortable doubts as to tho entire
sanity of her daughter’s lover. Aud then,
us ho smiled again, a sudden light broke
in upon her brain,;

■lt ain’t, never’—she began and then
stopped short.
'Yes it la, mother!’ cried Alice,-radi
antly. ‘ft's Julius— you\ Julius!'
‘Whose ears you have boxed deserved

man.

‘Well, I never I’ cried Mrs. Parley,
while the former rubbed his spectacles,
and laughed u low, chuckling laugh,
which expresded his perfect content
ment better than all the adjectives iu
Webster’s dictionary could have done.
And the chill December noon, shining
through the far-off window beyond the
orbit of the firs, beamed upon no bap
pier household In all the land, than
gathered that night around farmer Par
ley’s hearthstone.
PATRICK HENRY IN COURT.
The intolerance of the established
chitrch, Mr.Parton illustrates by the case
of three Baptist preachers who were ar
raigned as “dlslurbei's of the peace” be
fore magistrates who were determined to
convict them. Patrick Henry rode fifty
miles to defend them, and the following
account is given of his performance—it
was more than aspee6h—on tbeoccusion.
He entered the court-house while tho
prosecuting attorney was reading the In
dictment. He was'n stranger to most of
the spectators, and being dressed iu coun
try manner, his entrance excited no re
mark. When tho prosecutor hud finish*
ed his brief .opepiug, the new comer took
the indictment, and glancing-at it with
an expression of puzzled incredulity, be
gan to speak in the tone.of a man who
had heard something too astonishing for
belief.
“MW if please your worships, I think
I heuni road hy lire prosecutor, as I en
tered the house, the paper I now hold in
my hand. If! have rightly understood,
tlie King’s attorney has framed an in
dictment' for the purpose of arraigning
and punishing by imprisonment these
inoffensive persons before the bar of this
court for a crime of great magnitude—as
disturbers of tire peace. May, it please
the court, what did I hear read ? Did I
hear it distinctly, or was it a mistake of
my own ? Did 1 hear an expression us
of crime, these men, whom your wor
ships are about to try for misdemeanor,
and charged with—with—with what ?
Having delivered these words in a
halting, broken manner, as if his mind
was staggering under the weight of a
monstrous idea, he lowered his voice to
the deepest bass, and assuming the pro
fouudest solemn! ty of manner, answered
his own question : “Preaching the Gos
pel of the Son of God !’’
Then ha paused.' Every eye was now
riveted upon him| and every mind into
it for all Ibis was executed us a Kean or a
Siddnus would have performed II on the
stage—eye, voice, attitude, gesture, ail in
accord to produce the utmost possibility
of effect. Amid a silence that could be
felt, he waved the indictment three times
round his head, as though still amazed,
sllll uuable to comprehend, the charge.
Then lie raised bis hands to Heaven,
and In a tone of. pathetic energy wholly
indescribable exclaimed; "Great God”
■ At lids point, such was the power of
ids delivery, the audience relieved their
feelings by. a burst of sighs and tears,
The orator continued:
“May H please your worships,in a day
like this, when truth is about to burst
her fetters, when mankind aie about to
be aroused to claim their natural and in*
alienable rights, when the yoke of op*
pfession that hna reached the wilderness
of America, and the unnatural alliance
.of ecclesiastical and civil power about to
bo discovered—at such u period, when
liberty, liberty of conscience* la about to
wake from her slumberings, and inquire
into tho reason of such charges as I find
exhibited hero to-day, In this Indict
ment.” Here occurred another of his
appalling pauses, during which he cast
piercing looks at the judge and at tho
three clergymen arraigned. -Then re
• Burning, he thrilled every hearer by his
favorite device of repetition: “If I am
not deceived —according to tbe paper I
now hold in my baud, thes men are ac
cused of preaching the. Gospel of the Son
of God!” Ke waved the document three
times around his head as though still lost
in wonder, and then with tbe same elec
tric attitude of appeal to Heaven, he gasp
ed, “Great God !’’
This was followed by another burst of
feeling from tbe spectators; and again
this master of effect plunged Into the tide
of his discourse:
“May it please your worships, there
are periods in the history of man when
corruption and depravity have so long
debased the human character, that man
sinks under the weight of the oppressor's
hand, becomes bis servile, his abject
slave. Ho licks tfie hand that smites
him. He bows in passive obedience to
tbe mandates of the despot; and, in this
state of servility he receives his fetters of
perpetual bondage. But. may it please
your worships, such a day has passed*
From that period when our fathers left
their nativity for these American wilds,
from the moment they placed their feet
upon the American continent from

A- FIGHT IN A PALACE,
A SET-TO BETWEEN ME EMPEROR OP
AUSTRIA AND THE ARCHDUKE HBN
. RY—THE THREE WARNINGS FROM A
PEASANT SEER.
[From tho Bootou Globe-,] ;
There took place on March 12, at
Hof burg, the grand palace of the Em
peror Francis Joseph of Austria, an
event perhaps unequalled in the recent
annals of European royalty. What
gave rise to it was the visit an old
Transylvanian peasant named Herker
Visaoky had paid three days before to
the emperor. The peasant and his sov
ereign wore old acquantances, and a
very peculiar link existed between the
two. Their connection dated from the
year in which the Emperor’s second
brother, the ill-starred Archduke .Fer
dinand Maximilian, was on the eve of
his departure for Mexico.
A week or two previous to that event,
Visacky, covered with dust and bear
ing every trace of extreme fatigue, de
manded to see his Majesty without de
lay. During the interview the old man
told him that he had travelled all the
way from Transylvania on foot to
Vienna because he had had a strange
vision in regard' to the Emperor’s
brother, the Archduke Ferdinand
Maximilian. He said he had seen in
his vision, the latter in a foreign coun
try’, standing up before n file of soldiers,
who were shooting at him. Herker
Visaoky added that he had repeatedly
had other visions of important events,
which had afterwards turned out to bo
literally true. Francis Joseph, like
most Hapsburgs, is superstitious, and
the words of the old Transylvanian
peasant made a deep impression on
him. He thanked Herker Visacky,
made him a, liberal present, and asked
him to visit him again if he had any
thing further to communicate.
Whether Francis Joseph communi
cated the vision ,of the old Transylvani
an peasant to his enthusiastic brother
or not is unknown ; but certain it is
that lie received a second visit from
Herker Visacky in the sping of 18UC,
immediately previous to the breaking
out of the war between Prussia and
Germany. The peasant predicted to
him in the most impressive language
and with many startling details the
issue of the impending campaign. The
Emperor listened respectfully to the,
old' man, but did not heed his warn
ing. It may bo imagined that he look
ed upon Herker Visacky aa a seer when
his predictions a few weeks afterward
were verified, and still more so when
his unfortunate brother Maximilian, in
the following year, fell dead under the
bullets of Juarez’s soldiers at Quereta-
After the second visit Francis Jo
seph did not hear anything further
from the peasant” until the Bth of
March last. On this occasion the old
peasant said that ho had seen in anoth
er vision a Prince of the Imperial
House, as Regent of tho Empire, open
ing the Austrian Parliament; that the
Prince had been hailed as tho liberator
of the country, and had pledged him
self to rule it thenceforth in a truly
liberal spirit. This 'Prince, he added,
was married to a low-born woman, and
for some time past had been in Vienna
without the Emperor’s knowledge.—
Francis Joseph was startled. He sent
for tho Chief of tbe Secret Police of
Vienna and asked .him to find out
whether or not the Archduke Henry,
who it is well known is married to an
actress of very humble descent, and
who in consequence is not allowed to
live at the imperial court, was secretly
in the city. About noon on the Ilth of
March, after a two days’ search, the
Emperor was informed that the Arch*-
duke had been for several weeks incog
nito at a private house in Wioden
suburb.
This added to the Emperor’s agita
tion, and ho at once sent for the Arch
duke Henry, his cousin. What occur
red next is not accurately known, but
after a brief and angry conversation
between the two Hapsburgs the ser
vants in the anteroom were startled by
a noise like that of two persons engaged
in a scuffle, mingled with loud curses.
The door was suddenly torn open, the
Emperor appeared with his face flushed
crimson with anger, and dragged out
the Archduke Henry, whoso nose was
bleeding profusely. There could bo no
doubt but that the Emperor and Ids
Arcliducal cousin had been fighting.—
Before the servants were able to recover
from their amazement the Archduke
had made his exit from the ante-room
and the Emperor had returned to his
cabinet, where lie remained for several
lion s afterward. .Next day the ser
vants who had'hitherto done duty in
tho imperial ante-room were sent to
one of tlio Emperor’s castles in Dalma
tia, no doubt to prevent them from
divulging tlio scandalous affair. But it
lias leaked out nevertheless, and' tho
people of Vienna say that ever since
Eibenyl in 1800, wounded tho Emperor
with a knife in the neck, Francis Jo
seph lias been subject to sudden and
uncontrollable ebullitions of terrible
anger, and that on such occasions ho
will nt once cyme from words to blows.
THE STORY OF MISS HOWARD,
A REMINISCENCE OP NAPOI.KON.
A melancholy interest attaches to tho
fate of Miss Howard, whoso name is
hotter known titan the circumstances of
her life. Tito story is given in detail
by Griscelli, is as follows: On a night
of such a fog as they have iu Tjomlon'a
man was walking' ur> and down the
Haymnrkci. His imigth was some Uco
feet and several incites; nc v-'ttc tltioic
waisted, short-legged, witli a pallid
face, small eyes, mustaches, buttoned
to the nook, carrying in his hand a
loaded cane, and without any hat. The
passers-by might have taken him for a
policeman. Suddenly a door gave en
trance to a lady elegantly dressed. The
man exclaimed:
“Hallo, madamo; alone so into and
in such bad weather ?’’
Without any invitation ho followed
the lady, who, arriving in her parlor
and thinking him a civil policeman,
offered him two shillings.
“Madame ! . Money to me !’’
“And who are yon?”
“I am the Prince Louis Napoleon."
Next day the conspirator of Strasburg
and Boulogne, the escaped from the
Fortress of Ham, recalled himself to
the memory of his followers by sending
them some English gold with which to
still conspire against the Government
that had twice left him his life. From
this day the misery which.had over
whelmed the son of Admiral Verhuel
was driven away by the hank notes of
Miss Howard. While he was President'
ho had called Miss. Howard to Paris
and had taken for her a house, No. 11
Hue do Ciry. Miss Howard, who had
given 8,000,000 of francs to Napoleon at
the moment of his elevation, was con"
sidered, and considered herself, as the
future Empress. But the daughter of
Albion counted without him who
“when ho speaks, lies; when lie is si
lent, idols.”
One day Napoleon sent Miss Howard
to Havre in company with hisacebra-.
plice, Mocquart, promising to come
and see her upon the Sunday’. Satur
day ho married Mile, de Montijo.—
Taking iter tea the morning of the day
when she should receive the visit of
him who owed everything to her, Miss
Howard read of the marriage in the
Monitor Official. Precipitately leaving
the Hotel Frascati, she engaged a spe
cial train and reached her home in
Paris, where she saw the strangest
spectacle. Furniture, cushions, papers,
notes, letters, contracts some were
broken, others emptied, others stolen.
Piotri, warned by a despatch from
Mocquart, had gone to No. 11 Rue gle
Ciry. Ho was able to hoar, and others
heard like him, the insulted English
woman call Napoleon, assassin, swindler
and robber. Next day upon her awak
ing Miss Howard was saluted by Ames
Fould and Fieury with the title of
Countess of Beauregard. At the same
they gave her the deeds of ownership
to a property bearing this name, situ
ated upon the route to Versailles
Several months'later the new counloss
left France and established herself in
Florence, where she built a splendid
palace, upon the banks of the Arno.*
But ten years after ennui seized her,
and she wished to again see Paris.
Every day when Napoleon and tho
Empress came from the Tuilories Miss
Howard showed herself in a superb
equipage and dazzling toilet. Rumor
said that tho Empress was. furious.—
Some days after a performance at the
Italiens, during which the English
woman, covering and occupying a box
directly in front, had amused herself
by eyeing through an opera glass the
woman who hud stol.cn her ’*Poleon»”
Miss Howard was found suffocated in
her bed.
WHY PEOPLE ARE POOR.
Gail Hamilton says that ‘in a country
like this poverty la a presumption of de
fect.'’ We copy from one of her articles
In tho Independent as follows:
* Whatdoth binder any man from earn
ing his own living? Illness may come ;
sudden calamity may full. Against those
every energy may be powerless, but apart
from Ibis, itis t«bo assumed that he who
fulls docs so because he lacks wisdom ami
uot opportunity. And the same weak
ness which prevented him from grasping
the opportunity prevents him from keep;
ing hold of it after it is put into his hand.
Once In a while, once in a great while, a
timely succor avails In a moment of tem
porary weakness or averts tho conse
quence of a mistake, and-tho man starts
ahead at a swinging pace. But pfteuer
the results seem to indicate that it is of
very little use to help people who cannot
help 'themselves. Tho kingdom of pau
perism is within them. The very cause
that makes them poor keeps them poor.
It is not that society bears down bard
upon them. It is that--they arosulf-in
dulgout. If you see u wfdow aud five
children shiverlngovera few embers you
pity them, aud you must send them coal;
but you cannot help feeling a wrathful
contempt at knowing that they ail went
to the photographer’s yesterday and had
their pictures taken, after buying a cou
ple of twenty-five cent brooches on tho
way to adorn themselves with. The very
things that you yourself would hesitate
to do, on account of the expense, people
who are partially dependent on your
charity will do without hesitation.
Where you will practice a natural, cheer
ful, unthinking self-denial, they will
praetlee an equally cheerful and unthink
ing self-iudulgonce. Tho remnants of
broad that you dry In the oven and save
for future use they throw away* The
fragmentary vest sleeve that you fashion
into a fiat-iron holder, they put into tho
rag bag, aud’buy now cloth for llieir
holders. Where you riao at half-past
six, they lie till half-past seven. Where
you walk, they ride. Where you pray,
aud watch and strive to do your .work
thoroughly, they are content with any
thing that will answer. That is tlie rea
son why people arose poor.’

THE ' DEAD—ELOQUENT PERORATION.
A Into unmbftr of tlie Harrisburg .Pa
triot made reference to tho ceremonies
observed at the dedication of the Harris
burg Cemetery, on tho 30th of Septem
ber, 1545. Tho Rev. Wm. 11. DaWltt,
D. D., now dead, delivered the address
ou the occasion. Mr. DeWltt was a man
of great eloquence, and we ?(3-publ!in

It seeme to mo peculiaily befitting and
proper, that these grounds, so beautifully
located and so beautifully prepared,
should be set apart as a repository for our
dead with appropriate solemnities, and
that tbe occasion should be improved in
calling up those solemn and tender usso*
ciatious, Which are so intimately con
nected with the burying ground of The
earthly remains of tho departed.
Henceforth this is to be no ordinary
place. To-day we sot apart these grounds
from the common purposes of life, and
devote them as the abode of the dead.
Let them, from this time, bo aucred to
sorrow, to affection and to memory.
Within tho shade of ibis grove will be
oftened assembled mournful and weep
ing groups, bearing with them the pre
cious remains of departed friends, seek
ing for them some sacred and hallowed
depository, 'till that morning that shall
claim their redemption from the tomb.
Hero will the sigh of the disconsolate
and the moan of tho anguished heart be
often heard. And here, when time has
softened grief, will the mourner often
wander in the stillness of the evening, to
commune with tbe remembrance of de
parted affection, and mingle his plaintiff'
sighs with the low whispers of tho sum
mer’s breeze. These sods, so fresh and
green, upon which the dews of Heaven
have io gently fallen, and sparkled in
the glow of the morning’s sun, will be
watered with the tears of the bereaved,
as they weep over tho graves of those
they loved. . Here will affection and
friendship rear their monuments, to per
petuate the memory of the departed, and
from tho connecting link between tho
visible and the' In visible—the material
and tho spiritual—the temporal and eter
nal.
Here, brethren, will soon be found our
last abode ou earth. We ure, this day,
preparing the place four our own graves,
where these repose in hope,
when the cares, the toils and the sor
rows of earth have ended—and when our
spirits have winged their flight to other
worlds.
The stage of human existence will, In
deed, continue to bo thronged with ac
tors. But generation after generation
will disappear from the busy pursuits of
life, and here And their narrow and lone
ly dwellings—dust shall mingle with its
kindred dust. The habitations of the
dead shall become mure populous than
the living—and the grave will continue
insatiable, until the time of its destruc
tion shall come, when they that dwell
in the dust of the earth ahull sing —ft r
their dew shall he as the dew'of herbs.
- My hearers, there is a propriety in
selecting retired and appropriate grounds
like these, and beautifying them for the
abode of the dead —for the grave is-the
connecting link, at least, in our associa
tions with the spirits of (hose that have
departed this world.
These grounds, which we devote this
day ;\a the abode of the dead, aro pecu
liarly favorable, both from their situation
and their allotments, for.chcrishingthese
sacred and endearing associations. They
are safe Irom that rude invasiou.to which
those places of interment, within the
precincts of populous cities and towns
are subject. Already the rapid increase
of population in these have leveled many
grave yards and converted Into places for
dwellings and mails of business and
trade, the once silent abodes of the dead
But here wo nml not /ear such ou
croachmunls. 'fhis spot will bo safe
from such rude invasions. Here we may
bury our dead, without the fear that
their dust ahull be disturbed.
According to tho arrangements that
have been mado each family will have
its own allotment, and there, aide by
aide, they sleep from generation to gen
eration, the parents ami their children.
Ami when yeusa and centuries, perhaps,
have rolled away, the historian, who
then records the names and deeds of
those who shall first bo interred within
these grounds, will bo able to afllrm—
“ And tholr graves remain with us even
to this day.” •
Tho hour is coming in which all that
are In their graves shall hear the voice of
tho Son of God, and shall come forth. In
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the lust trump—for tiie trumpet shall
sound—and the dead shall bo raised in
corruptible, and we shall bo changed.
Dor this corruption must put on lucor
ruptlou, and this moral must put on im
mortality, and then shall be'brougbt to
pass the saying that is written—Death is
swallowed up in victory.
Tho hour is coming. It is true, in
deed, that though It is more than eigh
teen hundred years since this announce
ment was first made, the dead still sleep
In their graves ; but wo must remember
that Qod is not alack concerning his
promises, ns some men count slackness,
for with tho Lord a thousand years Is as
one day, and one day ns a thousand
years.
Yes, brethren, the hour is coming. The
reign of death over our race may bo per
petuated yot for a long time for aught we
know. Wo may descend into the silence
of the sepulchre—generations after gen
erations may here sleep beneath these
sods, and the black winds of a hundred
winters sweep over their solitary graves;
bub the hour will come ; the voice of the
archangel and the trump of God will be
heard. The dead will hero them. The
sleepers will wake up from their long,
long sleep, arise from their clay-clod
beds, and come forth from the bosom of
corruption in the vigor of immortality,
it is, my brethren, in the faith and
hope of this event wo dig our graves and
deposit our dead, and build their tombs.
Wo plant with the dark cypress the
llowors that bloom in the spring around
the lowly dwellings of tho departed—
the one as tho emblem of our sorrow, tho
other as tho cmblomof our faith aud hope
that
