tiful exceedingly," nnd such as one of our poets migh
well be proud of. Edinburgh Review.
LINES
ON PASSING THE GRAVE OF MY SISTER.
BY FLINT.
On yonder shore, on yonder shore,
Now verdant with the depth of shade,
Beneath tlie white-armed sycamore,
There is a litttle infant laid
Forgive this tear —a brother weeps—
'Tis there the faded flowret sleepej
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone.
And summer's forests o'er’her wavs;
And sighing winds at autumn moan
Around the little stranger's grave,
As though they murmured at the fate
Os one so lone and desolate.
In found that srem like Sorrow’s own,
Their funeral dirges faintly creep ;
Thandeep'ning to an organ tone,
In all their solemn cadence sweep,
And pour, unheard, along the wild,
Their desert anthem o’er a child.
She came, and passed. Can I forget,
How we, whose hearts had hailed her birth
Ere three autumnal nuns had set,
Consigned her to her mother Earth !
Joys and their memories pass away;
But griefs are deeper ploughed than they.
We laid her in a narrow cell.
We heaped the soft mould on her breast.
And parting tears, like rain-drops fell
Upon her lonely place of rest,
May angels guard it; may they blew
Her slumbers in the wilderness.]
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone;
Nor all unheard, on yonder shore,
The sweeping flood with torrent moan,
At evening lifts its solemn roar,
As in one broad, eternal tide,
The rolling waters onward glide.
There is no marble monument,
There is no stone with graven lie,
To tell of love and virtue blent
In one almost too good to die, .j,
Wc needed no such useless trace
To point us to her resting place.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone ;
But midst the tears and April showers,]
The Genius of the wild hath strew n
His germs of fruits, his fairest flowers,
Aik at his robe of vernnl bloom,
111 guardian fondness o’er her tomb.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone ;
But yearly is her grave turf dressed,
And still the summer vines arc thrown,
In annual wreaths across her breast,
And still the sighing auiumn grieve \
And strews the hallowed spot with leaves.
MISCELLANY.
MUNGO MACKAY’s HOAX.
The Inst Bentley’s Miscellany contains some
amusing Yankee reminiscences of a Boston
practical joker. The following is the best of
them:
There is no part of the world whete anew
preacher whether new-hghts or blue lights,
i produces a greater sensation than iu Boston,
though after he is gone, the people may re
! lapse into their quiet Unitarian paths, still they
have no objection to wander out of them in
search of any novelty in religion; and por.;
tation, they at least pay him the compliment j
of hearing what he has got to say. There
happened to be, during the period of which 1 j
am speaking, one of those wandering theoio- i
gical meteors blazing around Boston, and
jieoplc from every lane and by-way flocked to
see it, not with pieces of smoked glass in their
fingers, but with ten-cent-peces and York
shillings, to drop into the green box, hy way
of adding fuel to the flames. So great was
the crowd, that the ordinary rules about the
quiet possession of pews, for which the ow
ners had paid, were entirely brokeu down;
every body took that seat which suited them
best, and those who came late sat down in the
places left to them by those who came early.
One pleasant Sunday morning, Mackay went
to the Church by times, took his seat in a
central pew, just under the shadow of the pul- j
pit, and sat bolt upright, with his arms exten
ded with an apparent degree of unnatural ri
gidity down by his sides. He was presently
surrounded by half a dozen females, nearly all
of whom were strangers to his [terson, und in
a little time the whole Church was full to over
flowing. The psalm was sung, the prayer
said, the sermon delivered in the preacher’s
best style. He dwelt particularly on the re
quirements ofthe great precept of brotherly
love, upon the beauty of universal benevolence,
ort the pleasure which arises, not only from
clothing the naked and feeding the hungry,
but from attent on to the minute and graceful
courtesies and charities of life, by which the
thorny path is softened and adorned. In the
language of the critics in such matters, 4 there
was not a dry eye in the place :’ the appeal
had found its way to every heart. All Mac
kay’s immediate neighbors were sensibly af
fected ; he wept with them; the big tears
chased each other down his cheeks. But
while every one else was busy with their
handkerchiefs wiping away the water that the
orator, like a second Moses, had by the sir okea
of his eloquence caused to gush from their
flinty hearts, Mackay held his arms stiff and
straight, while half a glass of liquor suffused
his face. The dried eyes of the female friend*
were not slow to observe this ; for in addition
to the evident signs of deep feeling which h«
exhibited, his face, was rather a handsome
face. He wriggled, fidgeted, looked confused,
and interesting, but raised no hand, searched
for no kerchief, and seemed to be in deep dis
tress. At length a young widow lady, who
sat beside him, remarked that he was ill at
ease, and—heaven bless the femnle heart! it
always melts at any mysterious sorrow—after
'one or two downcast looks and fluttering p«u
scs, she said in an undertone, “Pray, sir, is
there any thing the matter with you 1 You
appear to be unwell.”
“Alt! madam,” breathed Mackay in a whis
per, “I am a poor paralytic, and have lost the
use of my arms. Though my tears have
flowed in answer to the touching sentiments
!of tlie pastor, I have not the power to wipe
them away.” In an instant a fair hand was
thrust into a reticule, and a white handker
chief, scented with otto of rose, was applied to
Mackay’s eyes ; the fair Samaritan, seeming
to rejoice in the first opportunity of practicing
what had been so recently preached, appeared
to polish them with right good will. When
she had done, M. looked unutterable obliga
tions, but whispered that she would increase
them a thousand fold if she would, as it wanted
very much, condescend to wipe his nose. The
novelty of the request was thought nothing of;
the widow was proud of the promptitude she
had displayed in succoring the distressed; and
to a person who has done you one kind action,
the second seems always easy. Her white
hand and whiter handherchief were raised to
Mackay’s cutwater; but the moment it was
completely enveloped in the fold of the cam
bric, he gave such a sneeze as made the whole
church ring—it was, in fact, more like a neigh.
The minister paused in giving out the hymn ;
tlie deacons put on their spectacles to see what
could be the matter; and in an instant every
eye was turned upon Mackay and the fair
Samaritan, the latter of whom, being so intent
upon her object, or so confounded by the gen.
eral notoriety she had acquired, still conclu
sively grasped the nose.
There were hundreds of persons in th«
church who knew Mackay and his propensi
ties well, and a single glance was sufficient to
convince them that a successful hoax had been
played ofT for their amusement. A general
titter now ran round the place: ‘nods and
becks, and wreathed smiles’ were the order
the day. Men held down their heads, and
laughed outright; and the ladies had to stuff"
the scented cambric into their mouths, which
had been so recently applied to the sparkling
founts above. At length something like or
der was restored, the hymn sung, mid the
blessing given, amidst stifled noises of various
kinds, when the congregalion rose to depart.
The widow, up to this point, feeling strong in
the consciousness of having performed a vir
tuous action upon a good looking face, heeded
not the gaze of the curious nor the smiles of
tlie mirthful; but wliut was her astonishment
when Mackay rose from his sent, lifted up
one of his paralytic hands, and took his hat
from a peg above his head, and with the other
began searching his coat pocket for his gloves!
B'J' the unkindcst cut of all was yet to come;
for Mackay having drawn them on, and open
ed the pew door, turned, and bowi ig to his
fair friend, put this question in a tone the most
insinuating, but still loud enough for fifty peo
ple to hear: “Is it not, madam, a much grea
ter pleasure to operate upon fine-looking Ro
man nose like mine, than upon such a queer
little snub as you have ?”
TRIP “DOWN EAST.”
The following story we copy from a Buffalo
paper and was related by a live Hoosier:
Stranger—l expect you are about the tal
lest kind of a coon, there is in these diggins.
Your little BufFulonian walks straight into
things, like a squash vine into a potatoe patch.
I come down the other day in the steam
boat Cleveland. She’s a pretty fixin, Golly !
ain’t she a smasher ? Once coming down, a
streak of lightning followed three miles and
better. The Captain see it was gaining on
us a little, so he told the man to starboard the
helm and let it go by. It did go like a horse,
and we weie so near it that the deck passen.
gers smelt brimstone.
NO. 8.
The captain felt a little cheap, at first about
letting it beat him, and said the steam wasn’t
up, but I told him he did perfectly right to
turn out, as there was so many woman on
board, and then there was so much iron, that
it drew the lightning nnd helped it along, so it
warn’t fair play.—You should have heard
the thunder that come along just after it. It
would have given you anew idea for one of
your articles.
Perhaps you don’t know where I come
from. Give us your fist now and I’ll tell you
all about it. When I’m honle I stops in the
Chuckahokeediggins, in the state of Indiana.
We raised an almightly crop of wheat this
year, I recon nigh upon four thousand bushels,
and a sprinkling of corn, oats, potatoes and
garden sass. You could hear the earth groan
all round our settlement, the crops were so
lieavy, and that’s what gives rise to the stories
about the earthquakes. It was enough to make
a young earthquake to hear corn grow ns it
did, and as to the potatoes, I’ll be skinned a.
live, if ever I saw any thing like it. Why any
one of them warm nights, you just go out into
a little patch of fifty acres, close to the house,
and hold your ear down, you could hear the
young potatoes quarreling, and the old ones
swearing at them because they didn’t lay along
and stop crowding. I calculate you didn’t
raise such crops in these parts.
Why, one day, one of our squash vines
chased a drove of hogs better than half a mile,
and they ran and squealed as if the old boy
was after them. One little pig stubbed his toe
and fell down and was never seen afterwards.
We got in pretty much all the and I
told the old man I would take a trip down East
and see the old folks, grandfathers and moth,
ers, aunts and cousins, a pretty considerable
heap of them I calculate ; down to old Ver
mont. So I packed up my plunder, got on the
stage and started.
1 reckon I’ll have a little fun among you
before I take a canal boat for down East. All
I’m after is to be clawing into the pumpkin
pics about Thanksgiving time.
