Upon llicjr sacred burial plains;

Should serve as gyves for'freemen’* hands,
Or that Columbia’s honored shield

Who lighten our labors and sorrows, who sack us,

Who, when we refuse them a favor, to conquer have

Who steal both our hearts and our pnrses, howe’er

Who sympathize with our misfortunes and—dam

0, ye who ail by your blazing fires,
Secure from the cold without;
Forgetful alike of ihn drifting mow
And the norlh.wind’s boisterous shout;
Remember, full many a poor man sits
Unmanned, by a fire lews hearth,
Id the midst of a circle of tearful ones —
Passing away from earth !
The Giver of Good would have us be,

Then let us though Fortune frown or smile,
Never forget each other.

Every day in the journal ihat with the first

we rend the littlo.semence :—“ Married yes
terday,” so and so. Every duy there is h
wedding feast in the mansions of the
earth ; n clasping of hands and unt’on/of
hearts in the dim aisles of some holy temple;
a pledginu of eternal love and constancy du
ring all the hours that are yet to comedown,
like spring flowers upon life’s pathway,—
Each day spipe ,new marriage crown is pul
on, and she who wears iv leading upon him
whose love is the btighlesl jewel set amidst
its leaves, steals away from the “ dear old
home,” and nestles tremblingly in the. latry.
cot where love’s hand has trained the honey
suckle over„rtie latticed porch, and placed
jEolian lyres 1 in all the casements.,

thin nr other; they say he’s got monev einuigh
to buy a kingdom. Wall, he, invited'Mr.
Sickles Income in and jino the rest of nsnnd

Peabody did not-kbow how much patriotism
nnd real democratic grit there was stored
away in Mr.Sickle’* breast; he had no idea
nn’t j and ihtii was the rock ho split on.—
You'll hardly believe me, Gineral, uhen I

To mix np Democrats nnd Englishmen at the
same'table is-awful. But ;that wns'nt the
worst of it. ■■ When Mr. Sickles got there he
could'nl hardly,believe hi* own eyes; for
there was a portraile of the Queen hung right
•tip in the same room with Ginernl Washing'
ton! Was’ni that a stumper 1 No wonder
Mr. Sickle’s Democratic blood biled over.—
But that wns’m-ihe worst of it. When they
come to give!he toasts they toasted the Queen.
The rest of Iha folks stood up to- drink the
toast, buf Mr. .Sickles sot down as hard ns or
brick ,* and'he fell so disgusied ihat he could’nt
eat another mouthful.- And’when the musi£,
to increase the insult,- struck up “ God save
the Queen;” Mr. Sickles took up his hat and
marched out. "There is spunk that young
America ought to be proud of. Thai Mr.
Buchanan did’nt lake his hat and march out
on, shows that he is an old fogy.
We’voheld our Congress nnd got things in
a middling good trnin ; though ns I said be

We manage belter than your Congress does.

’S, All right. You beat Uaon ateeplee ;
curt it already built, and measures only iv
hundred and ninety. We give that up. But
we shall knock you on organa. 'Ours cost
85000.
P. You do floor us on organs, that's a.fact.
Bui per contra, wa shall throw your chande
liers into (he shade. Ours is ordered from
the test firm In Paris, with a carte blanche
bs to cost; i may mention incidentally, (hat
{ paid a bundred'dollars towards it.
S/Well as to chandeliers, I field the palm,
but our pulpit and fixings will leave you-nd
where. 'The pulpit is to be. mahogany and
so are'the sofas andchairs. The bible alono
comes to twp hundred dollars. The covers
of'tho sacred volume are edged and elapsed
with gold; actual weight nine ounces, I
may add, that I donated all but fifty dollars
of it. (Aside—beat him that time.)
P. Yon have us there again. Such gener
ous rivalry in the great cause of religion is
cheering. Though we may differ on some
small points, [they belong to different denom
inations',] we yet work together for. the com
ing triumph'jaf true. Christianity.. *' * ■-
