That frowned on that dread fray.
Sons of “the dark and bloody ground,”
Ye should not slumber there;
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the heedless air;
Your own proud land’s heroic soil
Must be your fitter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil
The ashes of the brave!
Now, ’neath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the gory field, .
Borne to a Spartan mother’s breast
On many a bloody -shield,
The, sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The soldiers’ sepulchre,
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead.
Dear as the blood ye gave!
No impians footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of yonr grave;
Nor shall yonr glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps— •
Or honor points the hallowed Bpot
Where valor prondly sleeps.
Yon faithfal herald’s blazoned stone
With mournful pride shall tell.
When mahy a vanished age hath flown,
The story how ve fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter’s flight.
Nor tune’s remonteless doom,
Shall mar one ray of glory’s light
That gilds your deathless tomb.

[From the Weekly Despatch of Sept 30th,3
GOVERNMENT AND STATESMANSHIP.
The abuses which have crept into the
various institutions of the country and
the parsimony of the redress applied to
them, induce plain men to cast a long
ing look to, an adequate exercise- of a
wholesome despotism. Out squeamish
constitutionalism imprisoned us in an
enchanted-castle of formulas. Like a
cock in the centre of a chalked circle, we
believe that' to be an insurmountable
difficulty! which really offers no ob
struction whatever. Parliament ordered
an inquiry into the management of the
property and the application of the re
venues ef our municipal corporations.
All the most corrupt and fraudulent re
fused to supply the requisite informa
tion; and the Legislature, in place of
throttling it out of the thieves, acqui
esced in their evasion of their respon-,
ponsibilities. The Church, belongs
to the nation—it is the Poor Man’s
Church,established by law; therefore the •
creature of law. The State instituted;
an inquiry into her temporalities, and"
was met with and submittedto a similar
reticence. The charities of the country
are so many public trusts, and, as-such
are under the direct jurisdiction of the
Lord Chancellor. So of our school en
dowments. But no, Revenues intended
solely for the poor are given exclusively
to the rich; and when an account is de
manded the trustees stand upon their
privilege! while authority submits to
tbeif denial of accountability. The in
corrigible malversation of the trusts of
Dulwich College are fresh in the recol
lection of the public. Here is the, Hos
pital of St. Catharine; its revenue is
£7,000 a year/and ought to be double
that amount, It was intended by the
foundress for the poor of the East of
London; It has been transferred to the
Regent!s park—its income is parted
among creatures of the Court—the ab
sentee condescends to pocket
£2,000 a year, and let his house, coriser
garden and all,
which the foundationis charged with the
payment of vardeners to keep up; and
we see one of the junior sisters, who is
never seen on the premises, wi “p
ceptress to the Royal Princesses,” and
receives £370 a year, and a house which
she lets, beeause she prefers Osborne aud
Balmoral. Paley’s theory of compensa
tion is illustrated by our official dealing
with jobs and sinecures ina truly origi-

bat? The last proceeding to which
: Lord Chelmsford put his signature, be-’
fore rising for the Long Vacation •- was
tjo raise the salaries of clerks
nearly three hundred per .cent., and to
grant them back payments' ’at' the in
creased rate for all the - years that his
predecessors had refused to lend them
selves to,.’ thßxtransaction. That the
.riubUc should be. forever deprived of the

; public been capitalized and
“commuted” into a slump compensa
tion of £200,000 —while the Schombergs
and Fitz Hums ofthe pension Mat h ave
been dealt with after a similar fashion.
'Need we, after what Mr. Seely has ex
pbsed,. dwell upon the: accounts of the..
Navy, as interpreted by-the declaration.
of the First Lord, that we are still
without a Hoot?- Have-Wft try rprmriH
our readers' of the Weedon 'inquiry—qf
the 13,000 errors detected in the accounts
of one year in a single dockyard—of the
fact that the War Office Accounts had a
twenty years’ arrear nf audit, the'task of
overhauling them being at last officially
abandoned in affected despair? As for
the Ordnance Department; who that has
anything to lose can forget Shoebury
ness, Enfield, Armstrong and Captain
Coles? or Cowper and the Brompton
Boilers? or the Hon. F. Cadogan and
the Cook?
If we digress from *the astute official
aptitude and “regulation” integrity of
Government to the wisdom of Parlia
ment, to the analysis of a great trans
action which had the benefit of the su
pervision and criticism not only of the
entire body of our administrators, but of
every member of both Houses of the
Legislature—we shall have equal reason
for amazement. Three-quarters of a
million was an enormous estimate for
the erection of a single building,-even
although that should be the Senate
Houseitself. Butßarrydrewredtapeoffi
cial incompetency and legislative folly
on to a million,then to a.half more, then
to two millions, until at last it has come
to this, that the capital account will
never be closed, and repairs will eat rip a
fortune at one end, before the
Btructnrfe is .-finished -at' the
other. Scarcely, had the .tenants
commenced occupation when the very
stone began to crumble to pieces, and
had to he faced up with wholly ineffec
tual masonic cosmetics. Then science
was displayed by alternations of the
climatafof Calcutta and Siberia in the
shape'of Dr. Reid’s experiments, which
varied the exercitations of the collec
tive wisdom between a shiver, a
sneeze and a sweat; next came the illus
trations of .those varied theories of light
which illuminated or obscured the Se
nate at the - pleasure of the gas man
Dare we recall the “Song of the Bell,”
revive the story of the Clock and its
Tower, or resusitate the controversies of
Big Tom and Mr. Denison? At least
between them—architects, builders,
members and Ministers—it surely could
not be but that they would contrive that
for £2,000 a head, each intending tenant
would be decently acccommodated.
Bah! That womld be barbarously
unscientific! The House must
be made purposely so as not to hold its
occupants, and so 658 members must
squeeze themselves into the room of 470:
on “fall nights’ ’ they must sit on the
floor, or snore in the galleries; and when
her Majesty desires the attendance of
her faithful Commona they must draw
lots out of a hat to determine who will
“scrouge” the Speaker, there not being
room in the House of Lords-for a tenth
part ofthe “representatives of the peo
ple!” We say nothing of the transpon
tine scene-shifter genius that has
inspired the painters of the hideous
frescoes of the lobbies, to pass on to the
notice of the finishing touen just given
to all these extravaganzas. The archi
tect had left niches to be filled up by
appropriate statues; the statues were
ordered-r-wheir finished they came tolae
put up—when, and not before, it was
discovered that they were too big for the
; niches left expressly to receive them!
- “Though this may make the unskilful
laugh, it cannot butmake the judicious
grieve.” Weareawakenihgto.theeon-;
viction that we are in real peril for want
of statesmanship; that we have nothing
worthy of the name; no commanding
spirit to seize the helm and dare to save
tne:ship at;the cost df swallowing for
mulas. Reckless and imbecile, our
abuses are smothering us. Without a
nayy, with an army unreliable in its of
ficers, untrustworthy in the loyalty of
its men, small in
expanse, with treason in our midst, the
Habeas Corpus Act suspended, and a
war impending, if not begun, who can
contemplate our future without anxiety,
or the present without discontent? Prus

must be kiekqd into, the street, and after

and financiering adventurers, who'have

let the Legislature he divided into -com
mittees for every department of Govern
ment, havinga due proportion of mem
bers of each House—ana let them enter
at once upon a searching examination
of the executive operation, the ex
pen tore, : the , uses, of every office.'
The business of the nation is
large enough to occupy the un
divided attention of its representatives—
is in fact really beyond tne strength of
Ministers. Private Bill-mongers and
mere contractors have no business in
our Parliament—-send the carcass else
where, that we may get rid of the eagles
that scent it. The work of the State was
never so well done as in the time of the
Commonwealth, when the House of
Commons, by its subdivision of labor,
conducted the executive, legislative anc
administrative duties of the country with
admirable efficiency and great anility.
To Parliamentary Government we must
recur again, if we mean to save our in
stitutions from contempt and out affairs
from ruin. With all our wealth and all
our revenue we are not able to bear that
strain upon our energies and finances
which seems easy to the young life of
America. Retrenchment and economv
oh a large scale are no less practicable
than essential to us. It is from savings
alone that we can reduce debt, and un
til we are out of debt we can never be ou t
of danger.
Monument to W. F. Harndea.
A. monument to the memory of Mr.
William F. Harnden, who died in 1845,
arid who was the founder of the express
: business in America, has just been
erected near Central avenue, Mount
Auburn. It is of Fitzwilliam granite,
in the Italian style, arid measures 20
feet, 6 inches in height,2B in length, and
15th in width. There is a column at
each corner, and oh these rests a cap.
The latter has four pediments, anti on
the entablature are the words “Justice,”
“Faith,” “Hope,” “Charity,” one of
these on each side. Within the en
closure of the columns, resting on the
second platform, is a granite safe of or
dinary size, in front of which a large
marble watch dog is reclining, appa
sently watching the treasure within
the safe. On the front side of the safe,
on a marble tablet, is the following in
scription: William Frederic Harnden,
founder of the express business in
America, died 14th January, 1845,
aged 31 years. 1 ‘Because the king’s bu
siness required haste.”—l Samuel xxi.
8.” On the rear side of the safe, also on
marble, is.the following: “Erected, by
the Express Company of the United
States in the year 1866.” On the right
anjl left sides of the Bafe there is a neat
representation of an expressman, on the
one side delivering a package that he
had just taken from his wagon to a lady,
and on the other side he has taken
trunks, valises, &c;, from strain of cars,
and has some of them packed in a wheel
barrow, showing that the work in those
days was not performed with as much
celerity and with such valuable assist-
at the present day. A lady with
twq small children is also taking a box
or bundle-from him,as onthe other side;
Onitop of-the safe rests a large urn cov
ered with a cloth t and above the entabla
ture in ‘the cup is' an hourglass. The
cutting of the granite commenced about
a year ago, and it has taken nearly three
weeks to put up the monument. It has
been erected at a cost of about $lB,OOO.
Fbom thjs Abtab to' iei Gbavb,—
The; Cincinnati Enquirer tells the following
sad i story: ©ne‘ week : ago Mr. Tony
Laukoff was married to Mias Agnes Kriefc.
domi of Newport, Kentucky. The young
and happy cjuple enjoyed their honeymoon
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, de
termined that on Monday imbruing they
would settle down to a commencement of
t * l ® l f.D eTr Jife with all its business, respon
sibilities, trials, Ac. On Monday morning
they rose at an early hour, and robing
themselves,in their every day attire, went
to breakfast.’ ;Each complained of being
seriously ill, and neither could eat. The
husband was compelled almost immedi
retlse > ! and to % few minutes his
wifejfollowed Him. A physician wisi sent
for, | who, upon arriving -in ; the blck
Chamber, pronounced their diSeasei the
cholera. Immediate attention’was given to
them, but during the day they continued to
grow worse,;and at four and a half o’clock
thq husband died. His body was removed
to an adjoining room, His wife'was also
in a collapsed condition, and at eight and
a half o’clock she too followed her Husband
into the dark valley and shadow of death.
The bridegroom and bride were robed in
their; wedding clothes, and on Tuesday both v
were buried inthe same grave.
Aii Abmbnian wbitkb 1 has published a
book in Smyrna, to show that Queen Vic
toria’s proper name is Veegdoreea, and '
that;she is a descendant of the Arsacid'
kings of Armenia. His account of the de
scent not clear, nor are suoh names as
those of the author (Mirza Venantetzie) and
his Armenian heroes (Vartem Mamigonian
Paorodouny, &o.) easily mastered by the
curious reader. The work is published in
Armenian and English.

in those of iron,.and the latter, though smoothly fin
ished, will Boon rust, from the dampness of the atmos
phere, if nothing else, producing roughness on thesur-'

thesmoothneas of glass, Just as they are finished.
