No man dug: that nepulchcr, And uo man miw it e’er, For the angrlw of Oo d upturned the sod, yfnd laid the dead man there. That wns the grandest funeral That ever paaned on Earth, Hut no man heard the trampling Or saw the train forth. Notaeleagly an the daylight. Cornea when the night in done, -4nd the crimsou Htreak on the ocean's cheek Grows into the great red sun. Noiselessly aH the spring time, Iler crown of verdure weaves. And all the trees, on all the hills, 7*nt forth their thousand leaves. So without sound of mu sic, Or voieo of them that wept ; Silently down from the mountain’* crown, That great procession swept. Perchance the halt! old eagle, On grey Net tv lVor’s height, Out from his rocky eyrie, Looked on that wondrous sight. lVrehanee the lion stalking. Still shuns that hallowed spot; For beast and bird, have seen mid heard That, Which man kmnveth not When the warrior dieth, Ills comrades in the war, ■ With arms reversed, and mu fil'd drums, Follow the the funeral ear. They tell of his banners taken— They talk of his battles won : after bun lead his masteries** steed, While peals the minute gun. Amid the noblest of the land, Men lay the sage to rest, And give the hard aw honored place, With eostly marble dress. In the great minster's transept, f rhere lights like glories full, And the sweet clioi*sings, and the organ rings, vs long the emblazoned wall. This was the bravest warrior That ever buckled sword— This the most gifted poet That ever breathed a word. And never earth’s philosopher Traced with the golden pen. On the deathless page, truths half so fiftge, As he wrote down for men. And had he not high honors ? The hill-side for his pall ? To lie in state, while angels wait, -4nd stars for tapers tall? yfnd the dark rock-pines like tossing plumes. Over him there to wave; And God’s own hand, in that lonely laud, To lay him in the grave. Tll the dark grave without a name— Win nee his uneoflined el iy Shall break again—most wond’rous thought. before the Judgment Day. And stand in gl >ry wrapped around On the hills lie never trod ; Aml talk of the strife that won our life, And the incarnate love of God. Oh lonely grave in Moab>s land ! Oh grey lieth-IVor’s hill I Speak to these curious hearts of ours And teach them to be still, God hath II is secrets of the grave, And ways that we cannot tell.

Some years ago tliere lived, in a city on the Western bank of the Mis sissippi, a poor, but blight and happy couple, avlio had agreed to share each other's jots, and sail together on life’s stormy main. They yvero young, and more than ordinarily intelligent, and devotedly pious. The result of this union was an only child—a sweet and noble boy —the express image of his pure minded and generous father; and, from this fact, his Christian mother loved him with a strong and undying affection. The flowers ol but seven Springs had bloomed, and shed their sweet fragrance along the path of our little hero, when Death, the relentless archer, sent a barbed ar ow'into the heart of liis father, stopping at once its Rearing, and immolating its hopes. William, for that yvas our hero’s name, was too young to understand, fully, liis loss ; but, lie lias long since learned, that death never stilled a no bler ln*art, nor blasted brighter hopes. How crushingly tins blow fell upon the young heart of the fond wife, and j mother, language is too poor and meager to toll. For months she seemed almost in different to life ; but, as she looked on the face of her son, and saw the image of the father reflected, sho began to feel, notwithstanding the poignancy of her grief, that she had an object for which to live—tho training and proper development of this young immortal But, how uncertain is life! how very soon may all our hopes be blasted! Tlio rose faded from her cheek —tho lustre from her eyo, and five years had scarce passed away, befere tho pride of his mother was , called to hear her dying council, and to have the last fond kiss of affection impressed upon liis cherry lips. “My son, ” said the dying mother, “ Bo honest, be truthful, fear God and pray to Him, and lie will tako care of you.” Those words of parting wore scarce moto than whispered—and tho boy, was a homeless, almost friendless orphan. At the timo of which wo yvrito, tho Mississippi Avas being ploughed by steamers —sometimes styled Iloatiug palaces—in allusion, wo suppose, to the beauty and georgousnoss of their furniture, and the richness and varie ty of their provision. One morning, shortly after tho death of his mother, William stood on the wharf, waiting the approach of one oi these mam moth Steamboats. On her arrival, all W as bustle, and noise, for she was ktrien wßli human suuls —some, greet ing friends that had lung been absent —others, bidding adieu to loved ones, never to meet again. As tho boy looked on the croud, and eyed the beautiful boat, tho thought occurred that, on reaching manhood, he Avon Id like to be the master of one of these magnificent packets. Waiting a short timo, till tho Captain avus at leisure, ho approached him, asking “if lie could give him a place on tho boat, if it Avero only that of a cabin-boy.” He unsAverod gruffly, “that ho could, if he were any account.” Tho hoy modestly replied, “that he was young, and willing to learn, and if lie would bear with him, he would, one day, lie, a man. Negotiations being settled, tho next timo the boat passed, Wil liam, Avitli his trunk, packed with the clothes Lis fond mother had made, with fingers now still in death, entered on his new vocation. Os course, he: knew nothing of the duties of his of fice, and, like all landsmen was, for some time, awkward in their perfor mance, Avliich led the Captain to speak very roughly to him ; insomuch, that he often wept and felt sorry that lie had agreed to live Avith so course and unfeeling a man. But, his word avus his bond, and lie determined to bear, and sulfur on, animated by the hope that, sooner or later, he would strike tho tide, which taken at tho flood, would lead him on to fortune- It was at this juncture, that the boat, in the gray light of the early morn ing, avus seen rocking, and moving sloAving, back and forth, Avliile the dense cloud that issued from her smoke-stack, indicated that she Avas getting in a state of readiness to leave the port at New Orleans, for lier dis tant trip up tho river. All on board was noise, and seeming eonfusion-*- tlie boat-hands moving hurriedly, here and there, Avhile the stentorian voice of the Commander, rising above the din, could be distinctly heard in evory direction. A moment or two more, and the signal was given, and the pas sengers Were all on board, and the boat, like a tiling of life, avus moving on tho bosom of the father of waters. Tho master, in the meantime, in a rage, because a little, behind time, was cursing and scolding, fore and aft, at every one coming iu his Avav. Wil liam, bewildered, and frightened, till his wits Avcre gone, avus trying to do his best, but seemed that morning, to bo more awkward than ever ; which, tho Captain seeing, g ive him a blow on the side of the head, at tho same time sending a storm of oaths into the A'cry soul of the child, causing it to quiver, as he Avent rolling along at full length, on the deck, stunned by the blow, and mangled by tlio fall— the blood flowing, meantime, from an ugly wound he there received iu tho leg Tho heartless Officer, lion-Jike, seeming to become more enraged at the sight, or scont of blood, ordered him harshly to go into the hold, and not make liis appearance again on deck, during tho trip. The orphan, with crushed heart hastened, as host lie could, to obey tho harsh order of this brute, iu human form. There stood witnessing this scene of suffering, a tall, well-dressed gen tleman with benignant fuoe, and as 110. contemplated it, tho tears came unbid den to bis eye, and hastening to his State-room, lie drew from his well-ar ranged trunk, some soothing lotion and bandages, aud ran to the relief ol j the little sufferer below. As lie noar : od him, the teurs were streaming from 1 the eyes of the boy, aud he seemed as ! if lie had just buried liis last friend, ■ and was a stranger, and alone in the world. This truly Christian gentleman, however, spoke kindly, and encourag ingly to him, at the same time bind ing up liis wounds, and as he did so, j a ray of sunshine played over the pale ' faco that a moment or two before was 1 so sad. i The days moved slowly along, bat j the sufferings of our little friend were I greatly relieved by the frequent visits of liis stranger friend. At the ap -1 pointed time the boat reached lior destination, and the kind lriend descended, ter tlio last time, to see liis little patient, and to bid him a I final adieu. This last interview was 1 a melting scene. As they hold each | other by the hand, tears flowed freely from the eyes of both. Tho good man bade him be of good cheer—that- a brighter day would dawn upon It may seem a little strange, but up to this time, William had not learned ' the name of liis kind friend, aud asked ' now to bo informed, saying that lio wanted to embalm it in his memory, 1 and in liis approaches to his Heavenly Father call it, at tho same timo invok ing blessings rich and full on tho heart ami head of the soother of his suffer ings. Ho added, lam poor, and una ble to compensate you for your trouble, but while this heart throbs, and mem ory holds her accustomed sway, 1 shall hold ill’ grateful remembrance your kindness and sympathy. The gentleman, when he related tho sub stance of what I have Avritton, said : “It was the proudest, happiest duv of my life and sinco then I have felt the more suro of getting to heaven, not because I did my duty in administer- j ing to that noble boy, but because I know that the God of the orphan can not fail to hear the prayer of so true and pious a youth.” It is needless to add that William is now Captain of 0110 of the finest Steamers lliat floats 011 American wa ters, anti beautifully illustrates the vir tues and of that religion taught him by liis pious but noAV sainted pa rents.

Fierce Bonaparte Inis be come famous for marrying ti saddler’s daughter and shooting an offensive editor, 'i he first act was regarded as a noble piece of heroism on his part. A certain young foreign gentleman, residing in this city, has furnished al most a parallel to Fierro Bonaparte’s honorable conduct toward a saddler’s daughter. The story is this: The young gentleman was walking down l’ennsylvania avenue about three or four weeks age, enjoying a pleasant promenade along our Washington Broadway, when his attention was suddenly attracted by a very pretty girl standing iu the doorway of a shoe store. (lurhero was fascinated instan taneously. It was literally love at first sight. On pretence of making some purchases in tho leather line lie entered the store, engaged in conver sation Avitli the maiden and discovered sho Avas the daughter of tho proprie tor. Our hero found excuses lor malt ing many subsequent visits to the store, aud finally the parents of the girl, noticing this m uked attention to their daughter, and thinking the dis parity in rank was too great to admit of proper addresses, politely informed him that they Avould prefer him to discontinue his calls. Tho young gen tleman, with an unexpected manliness and evident sincerity, told the parents that liis intentions Were honorable to the last degre; that lie loved the daughter devotedly, and that, though their respective stations differed wide ly, an arrangement could bo made which, lie hoped, would prove satis factory to both sides. He told the father that his child was yet young enough to be thoroughly educated aud fitted for any station in life, and that it lie would consent he, the young gentleman, Avould have the girl sent to one of the best academies in the country, there to be instructed in all ,th e accomplishments and acquirements desirable. Tho young gentleman also offered to give a solemn pledge that’ he would never visit tlio young lady at the academy, and that at the end of tho educational course, if she still entertained a feeling of affection’for him, he would lay at her feet liis hand and heart. lam informed that the generous proposal has been accepted, and the young lady is now at a female academy in a neighboring city. Tlio whole tiling is looked upon hero as highly creditable to all parties concern ed. The young man occupies a very high official position.— X. Y. ILsraM. A Pennsylvania bachelor, thus be gettoth after a lovely woman : “1 impeach her in the nan* of the groat Avliave of tho ocean, av hose bones are tern asunder to enable her to keep straight. 1 impeach her in the name of the peacock, aa - lioso strut, without his permission 1 , she stealth fully and without honor assumes. 1 impeach her in the name of the horse, Avhose tail she lias perverted from its use to the making of wavy tresses to decorate flie back of her head and neck ] im peach her in the name of tlio kanga roo, whose beautiful figure she iu tak ing upon herself the Grecian bond, has brought into ill-favor and disre pute.” Here the old fellow lmaved a sigh, aud heaved himself overboard. Goon Political Indication.—Next to the vote of the House of Represent atives on ltie Bigliam amendment, avg regard the cowhiding of Geo. Wilkes as the best political indication that has fallen under our notice of late. Tho successful rat catcher and dog fighter is the most special and intimate friend of Grant-—yea, the man avlio most con trols bis stupidity. That a largo crowd would permit Major Poland to Hog the power behind the throne, is an ev idence of healthy political sentiment neither to bo dispisod or ignored*.—- Coluutbm Shu.

On Sunday occurred one one of those horrible tragedies, the mrtfttion of Avhiph makes tho blood run cold Tho details uro about as follows : Mr. A\ m.

The colored man had behaved himself very well since as a laborer. 011 Sunday Mr B with liis family' went visiting after dinner, and left be hind his little boy and this negro.— All returned ub >ut three F. M., when they found the house ransacked from one cud to tlio other The *diild was discovered lying dead 011 the floor of the lien house, with a hole made by a pistol ball through his head. The weapon had been fired so close that liis hat was signed by tho burning powder. Tho negro was gone. There was no money or valuable portables in the house to move, but a pistol had been stolen. The supposition was that the negro had robbed the house and been discovered by the boy, whom ho had killed to prevent his telling. Puisuit was at once made after tho negro. Three non from tho neigh borhood thought they had tracked him yesterday morning to this city, that he was ahead of them only fifteen minutes, that he was in a store which they passed, and that he had after wards crossed the new bridge into Al abama.
