CUANDMAMMAV'fi'ii RYI1EAD, AND
HER'STQUIES.
It was a sad day for" us all, in the town )f
L , when dear Grandmamma Hoary-
head wa laid under the ei-nress Iree. in rh
oldktrkyard. At hergrave the extremesof
life met. and all mourned herdeoarture. Mnnv
children, to whom grief had before been a
surang-r, wept bitter leafs; -We-ft -fr-ft-ttrat
we hud lost a friend, Counsellor, a guide. A
ltnk which bound us to another generation as
?one. But she ItTius in departing, a precious
egaey. The lessons of wisdom, which fell
from bar honored lips, will ever he held sac
red, and hy her beautiful life she taught ns,
more than all, lo love and reverence the aged.
Truly might it have been said of her, "she had
of age only its experience, and lost of youth
only its frivolity. The twilight of her life
wa calm but not colorless. She never forgo!
that she had once been 5'oung; indeed her
htart was never old. Who so sympathizing
in all our joys and sorrows, as Grandmamma
Hoaryhcad! Whoso patient with our faults,
who so lenient towaida our many failings!
To her Litest day, it was our delight tu hear
her tale of other time, and gladly would we
leave our play, for a seat at her feet, ' Moat
of all, we welcomed the time when Grand
mamma opened her rose-wood cabinet, and
told us the history of each precious rclie, so
sacredly treasured. There wa "a tear in her
voice," a ihe talked of buried hopes, and
garnered memories, and we knew lhat "her
early day were with her, in her heart." We
often begged Grandmamma to write these sto
ries for us but knew not until her Voice was
forever hushed, that she had yielded to our
childish nersuasion. We then found attached
to each relic, its history, In her own handwri -
ting, and from among these histories, I select
for those children who have never ttada Uraud
mamma Hoarvhead, one entitled
THE TALISMAN. '

children, that I should ' prize a -aimpt-- hair

these re t precious to me, 'aa th tittle band
of hair, which so long ago eaeircted pay thrust.

Among this I..M description of stldrcsses is one
pronounced, at Salem Mass., on the 18th in .,
by the Hon' C. W. L'plium. It contain an
ai count of the celebrated Aug of truce, which.
during ihe battle of Uueua uia, was sent

and will herealter pas iuto history. I he
