When the grass shall cover me, Head to foot where I am lying; When not any wind that blowq, ’ Summer blooms nor winter snows, " Shall awake me to- your sighing; Close above me as you pass, You will say; “How kind she was." You will say: "flow true she was. When the grows over me. When the grass shall cover me, Holden close to earth's worm bosom; While I laugh, or weep, or sing, Nevermore, for anything; You will find in blade and blossom, Sweet small voices, oderous, Tender pleaders in my cause, That shall speak me as I was— When the grass grows over me. When the grass shall cover me! Ah! beloved,,in my sorrow, Very patient, I can wait— Knowing that, or soon or late, There will dawn a clearer morrow When your heart will moan: Alas! Now I know how true she was; Naw Iknow how dearehe was— When the grass grows over me. glliSttllaßtw. A Stray Southron in New York.

It was indescribably amusing to watch a Charlestonian friend of mine during his first and last visit to New York. Dressed in a full suit of black, and bearing a gold headed cane in bis hand, he walked Broadway at the dignified rate of two and a half miles an hour.— Some one brushed against bis right elbow; he turned and glared grasping his cane in the fist; no antagonist visible. Every few steps he felt himself insulted, prepared to vindicate bis honor, and failed to discover any one whom he could call to an account. At the end of six blobks, fuming with a consciousness of aggravated injuries, he took a carriage, drove back to the St. Nicholas, drank a mint julep, seated himself in a window of the reading room, and stared sullenly at the interminable crowd which hurried by, unaware of his existence. He was like a cat who should bp hustled and intimidated by a garret full of scrabling mice. Within a week he left the city, thoroughly disgusted with its multitudinous bustle, and never returned to it. If you ever see a tall man in Broadway, standing stock still, glaring about him, and swearing, you may be sure that he is a Southerner and that some one whom he can not find has run against him. If you ever nee a tall man in Central Park, seeking the loneliest paths, and surveying the mob of pleasureseekers from a distance, you may pretty safely infer that he also is a Southerner, and that he is mainly happy because he has found a little elbow-room. Should you ad-dr-ss either of these bewildered personages respectfully, he will receive you with a cordial smile, cotton to you without difficulty, and presently ask you to take a drink. He feels.like a man who has been abused, and who unex- * *

pectedly finds spmpathy like a voyager who has been 9 shipwrecked, and who unexpectedly gets fool aid lodging.— Galaxy. Negroes First. The attempt made by the secretary of the treasury to effect a slight change in the department by discharging a number of the negro messengers who have enjoyed the advantages of office for many years, and giving the vacancies thus crated to ex soldiers who have rendered the country good service in the field, created a great hub bub. The secretaay, after much deliberation and inquiry, issued an order discharging about a dozen of thes£ sable mereuries, and in so doing’ he brought down about his ears a large-sized hornet's nest in the shape <sf an avalanche of pa|>er remonstrances from the heads of the bureaus, which had thus been deprived of their messengers. The written protests not appearing to have the desired effort of procuring a recession of the order, the illustrious beads waited upon the secretary in a body, and stated that it was im possible for them to conduct the Imsiness of their offices without their colored messengers. They succeeded in convincing the secretary that n negro messenger was necccssary to the correct tran- I •iction of government business in their respective bureaus as was the head of the bureau himself, it I seems, for the secretary took everything back, negro messeng-; era included. The skating rink at Indianapo--1 s was built last summer by a stock company, and ojiened for rotter skating on Sept 18. It is 185 feet long and 90 feet wide.— Entire cost' complete, including gas fixtures, furniture, Ac, 82G,000

Charles Reade is building a new theatre in London. Mark Twain has more literary engagements than he can fill. BerryeP was only 25 years old when he defended Marshal Ney. There are seven Jews in the new British parliament, and all are liberals. Olive Logan is engaged—for every lecture evening this winter, that is; * j Liverpool will banquet Charles Dickens when lie gives this farewell readings there. A house in Salenf, Mass.,is still infested with mosquitoes, and they can’t be driven out. Belle Boyd, at last accounts, was lobbying at the Texas convention at Austin, in behalf of an immigrate scheme of some sort. In Bryan city, Texas, ladies and children arc admitted free to the theatre matinees, and none othess attend. Alexander Dumas enjoys the impression that the dethronement of the Neapolitan Bourbons is due wholly to himself—and Garbaldi. The Czar is said to be a great drunkard. The monarchs of Europe are a hard set. The queen of Spain was much too loose, and the emperor of Russia is invariably tight. Mrs. Anthony in discussing whether or no girls should be chas tised.

The grave of John Harris, the founder of Harrisburgh, is at the foot of the tree to which he was once tied by Indians, and a fire kindled about him to burn him alive. A simple iron fence surrounds the grave. Elder Knapp, the Widely-known Baptist revivalist, has settled permanently at San Diego, Cal.

Palmer, in a letter to Rev. of Griggsville, 111., says: “You may be assured that, while I am governor of Illinois, the temperance cause will not suffer, either from the precept or example.” Mr. Potter Palmer, the millionare, the “A. T. Stewart” of/ Chicago, but now a resident of New York, lost his four valuable horses by the fire in Twenty-third street, last week. George Francis Train, sending a paper containing a speech of his at Omaha, sent also a note saying, “Abuse me all you want to, but for God’s sake, don’t forget me.” Evelyn Evans, recently an actor in a Rochester fSi. Y.) theatre, has heen transformed into a Methodist minister, and is holding revivals in Pittsburgh. Queen Isabella has conqufed the newspapers of Paris. To the credit of Isabella and the astonishment of the world, the con quest was made by her modest and becoming deportment. But two members of the John Brown party who captured Harper's Ferry and set up a provisional government for Virginia, are now living. Owen Brown, who resides in western Pennsylvania, and Osborne P. Anderson, a colored man. living in Canada. It is said in Paris, that the three most graceful and handsome ladies at the imperial court, Mme. de Gallifet, Mme, de Pourtales, and Mme. de Metternich, have only too much reason to complain of the infidelities of their husbands.

A youg enthusiast named Hatham has built himself a hilt on the shore of Walden pond in Coneord, where Thoreau used to dwell, and is spending the winter there. The grove in which he has pitched his catnp lielongs to Mr. Emerson, who. always generous toward idealists, has permitted him to occupy it. At a fair in New York, a pretty voung lady went up and asked Grant if he would give her a kiss. “No Miss,” said the General, “I won’t” Weston, the “walkist,” is said to have received for a Christmas ' present a copy of the “Bright Lexicon of Youth."
