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.
