In a vale in the land of Moat >,
There lien a lonely *rrnve.
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,

And ways that we cannot tell.
Which are buried deep as the silent sleep

THE ORPHAN,
BY KEY. J. M. MAESHALE.
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.

Here is a sprightly bit of fashiona
ble gossip. 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

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*.—-

in custody. Since, we have heard
