Our horse Rolla, whose long silken tail just es
cape the "round, and whose finely arched neck and
sleek, plump sides, are the envy of horse-Iovers, and
the pride of his owner—our horse Rolla, who has
grown old, not grey, in our service, shares with us,

abode where, within a few years, marble columns,
broken shafts, simple enclosures, and modest head
stones, have sprung up, as if one half the world liv
ing, were vexpressmg its gratitude to the other half
dead.

A mournl'ul reminiscence appeared to hang upon

seemed to creale a rainbou beauty on the sorrow-

taking her farewell, not of her lover, but her lovo.
A new ligiit had arisen upon her heart; and as the
sources of the former illumination had ceased, she
|iad come to dismiss from her bosom every iinrer-
ing beam. °
To no others could she entrust the tokens o{ affec
tion she had received : and so she deposited them all
with thre remains of him with whom they were con
nected, and while she did that, she deposed, also
from its seal in her bosom, the image which now
no longer had an object to be represented.
Beautiful was the sense of propriety which ani
mated her heart. Ail that the dead might have
asked in reason, had thus been paid—all that the
living desired in the new covenant which they
formed, was now secured. No shadow of a former
idol lay across her heart. Scarcely lingered there
a remnant of the odors from the incense which had
been offered. She had come to make clean a bo-
soni, upon which new affections were to rest—upon
which new confidence was to lean. And she arose,
and went forth from that grave, with tears that the
living w’ould have pardoned, had he known the
origin—with a smile that the dead would have
blessed, had he looked down upon the scene. And
henceforth her leanings are to life. And should the
current of affection be checked a moment by memo
ry, it will be but to gather new force for its progress,
new powers to bless and fertilize.

barrels after them.
2. Brother JojwAhan ivith the Botts; Doctors
Clay, Ewing, Badger, and others, ail with smilling
faces, endeavoring to pursuade him to take the Bid
dle Tincture. He exhibits great nausea and doubt;
Clay whispers to Dr. Ewing to change the name
of the Tincture to the Fisical Drops. It is done
accordingly, without success. In the background,
are seen Van Buren, Calhoun, Benton, and others,
peeping over the fence, with countenances expres
sive of hope, fear and joy. Van says to Calhoun,
“John, you know him better than i do; wMfl he
take it?" To which John replies, ICs an impor

takes it, he is a dead man and his country ruined.
I don’t think he’ll take it. The Coons and Cider
barrels are gone; I think we may venture up to the
patient.”
3. The heading of Captain Tyler. This is a
master-piece. Dr. Clay is seen on a large white
charger, giving orders to the huntsmen, \vho dash
to their posts wuh great speed; all except Webster
who can’t mount his horse. In the foreground,
Capu Tjder breaks from a Coon-thicket, knocks

ground he is seen issuing from the Veto defile

went up on the stone, which bore also the Ameri
can flag. In 16 minutes the stonie reached the top
of the Monument, and at half past six, it was laid ia
cement, and a national salute announced that the
Monument was finished.
The corner stone of the Monument was laid June
17, 1825, in presence of Gjn. Lafayette, and a
great concourse of citizens, among whom were a
large number who had shared in the dangers and
honors of the battle of Bunker Hiil. The Monu
ment has been seventeen years in building—during'
more than half of w'hich period the work was en
tirely suspended.
The following is from the Bunker Hill Aurora:
The. structure, we may now say, is completed, al
though some considerable work, in finishing off the
exterior as well as the interior, yet remains to be
done. In the interior CDi^e, about twenty small
blocks have been left, to enable the builders to ad
just their mac^ • nery, vhich are now to be suppli
ed. The outijd of the vvork will also undergo the
finishing operation, as the staging is lowered down
from the top, and the upper part of the interior is
also to be smooih-haminer'd, all of which will oc
cupy the principle part of the present season.
We understand that for u short time, arrange
ments wiil be made so that persons may ascend to
the top of the structure, and apparatus is soon to bo
prepared by which per.^ons may be conveyed up
and down inside the c:nc, by steam !
