But hearts that burst with rorrow none. More holy far than these the spot Whcrs rest the warriors’ bone*; Though marble statues mark it not, Nor monumental stones; There nedfls no sculptural pile to tell Where those who bled for freedom tell Oh! no—benoath her silent pall Should dark oblivion hide The fond remembrances of all We hold m»st dear beside, The flowers wpon their graves forbid, That their remembrance should be hid. • -h' ;.'to loi ,*iw I .‘ini a Their flowery epitaph is writ Where Nature’s footsteps tread; ’Twas Freedom’s self indited it, Above the deatblesß dead; Aud you may read upon the spot— " Forget-me not— Eorgct-ne-not.” I ask no more—unstrung and broken My feeble lyre—l crave Os tenfler grief this one sweet token, That on my lowly grave Those lovely fiow’rets may appear, Planted by those whp loved me here. ,ii. ■— practical Advice. Soar nnore eominon tnougnto»»u if you would be elevated in chare,oter. It is wiser to be always listening to pro fit by what we hear, than to always speak ing to be heard, for he who never hears and never thinks, must bring his knowl« edge to an end. Let the fool speak, if he is inclined, for as gold is found in useless earth, so may truth be found among the words of folly Follow the prescriptions of nature and you will avoid disease. Form no opinions without consulting rea son, when facts are absent. Never dispute with others in the streets, for you attract the passers-by, and when men are thus exposed th„-y never yield, Never sacrifice principle for gold no r houeety for office. Never fear a boaster, for his strength lies in the noise he makes. If you worship anything, do it with sin cerity, else refrain. Never serve others merely for the sake of serving yourself, for such acts beget con tempt instead of respect. This is a world of words, but none should play with them when common use is not at home. Kindness will win any ori% from vice to virtue, but call men dogs and they will learn to bite. Shun the man who deals in smooth words and has no other occupation, for he may bring you into the same condition. No person can be either gentleman or lady without serious conversation, and sen* sible information. Never make sport of marriage, for with out it nations conld not became great ex cept in prostitution. Encourage the practice of kßssing the girls, for it looks bad to see them kissing each other! Wise men display tbeir wisdom wisely- Nioro Run*.—The following is a pic tpre drawn by a Northern Radical newspa per of the negro rule in St. Domingo, after they have bad fifty years of experience as rulers of about th» fairest spot of earth: The latest news from San Domingo is that the country is in auarchy, and the prisons are full. Os course there must be some sort of governing force in existence to keep the prisons full; but this is probably about the full extent of its power. It is painful to see SHch a rich and charm 1 , ing part of the world given up to ruin and savagery. It is grievous to see the control •f such a country in tbs hands of such a people. But we see no help for it. And we may rest sa*isfied that if theru be any lower depths of human degradation than that which they have reached, it will not require them many years to sink it. If the population would resort to cannibalism, and devour each other out of existence, it would probably be the best tbiag that could happen.

Now it so hap pened that whenever a rather prolific cat of the househoid'had kittens, oue Qf’them, of course the prettiest, was saved a»d the rest drowned. jWhen tho twins wir- shown to the child by their happy father, little M ... looked st them long and earnestly, and at length puttingher little fliigcr.tip on the cheek of one of tbemf f looked 'up, and said, with All the earnestness possible.

When! it is considered that the reason for ibis de- i lay is that in making a decision the court mast have declared the reconstruction acts unconstitutional, we are forced to the con clusion that the judges ol the Supreme Court are deterred from discharging their duty by tear of a revolutionary Congress Things have come to a pretty pass when the judiciary fails in a plain duty through fear of offending a usurping legislature.— The venerable Judge Grier did well to clear his skirts of such culpable conduct. The Great Impeachment Fiz zle. There never was such a failure. There never was such a stale, flat and unorofitablc conclusion to any thing that so thundered and threat ened in the prologue.

I’orty crows, as wo are all aware, would hardly cover the number, even as stated by those most moderate in speech.

On Monday we had the windy and grandiloquent opening of Butler. Since that it has oeen proven that tho President “issued an order” for the removal of fetau ton—not that ho has removed him or had not the right to remove him or issue the order ; the attempt has been made to prove that tie President conspired with soldiers to oppose the laws, and this has resulted in clearly proving that he did not so conspire.

And what is the whole result §o far ? Only that a grand occasion has been given for Butler to strut and Ireland plume himself in the public eye. Only a chance for this vaporer to show to the world that there is no sphere of homan en deavor in which he is not equally incapable. He was a General a little while ago, and he made more noise iirdigpateffes and orders and proclamations, than all the other generals in the country together.

Peace came and, not shamed into obscurity by his failures, the mighty man returns to politics and law. Ue leads the great case of his party. He makes the tremens dous threats as ever, and, as before he dwindles into pitiful insignifi cance when brought to practical test. Fortunately, thero was away of poshing such leaders aside in war. Let us hope that the Radi cals may not for a while learn that wisdom.v—New York Herald. Gen. Ben. HlcL’alloch'e Watch We have received a note from Gen. Henry E. McCulloch, in which he says ; ‘lt will bo grati.ying to you and the many old friends gdlj of my, much lamented brother, Gen. Ben. McCulloch, to learn that I now have in my possession the watch and chain he wore whan be fell on the battlefield of Elk Horn, on the ■ l un\il a lew months ago, when it was obtained by purchase from him. by my warm hearted Scotch friend and compan ion, Samuel Matlie* - , of New Braun fels, Texas, who has kindly brought it to those who appreciate the me mento and the kind han and heart that brought it to them.’ It appears that the officer refers red to, who could receive money lor this precious memento of the dead, was Colonel N. Grensel, of the 36th Illinois volunteers.— We think it best to give hft name, lest some more noble specimen ot a soldier might be suspected.— Several instances have occurred, since tho war, in which articles fou.id on the gallant dead, and dear beyond any price to surviving relatives, have teen returned to them when discovered, withofii higgling over their money value. We regret to note this exception. The dead hero was a very int mate and dear friend of ours from the date of the war with Mexico, and we congratulate his brother on re ceiving this interesting memorial ot one of the truest hearted and most gallant soldiers we ever knew.
