JLT 'if ? LI NBS ON A SKELETON. SI:;cv years >*go Iliii||t3l|d(||) flWlWlftll Chronicle published a poem entitled: "Lines ona Skeleton," which excited much attention.' Every effort, *even tor the offering a reward of fifty gui?eas, was? y?lnly rando to discover the author. All that ever transpired ffifothat iho*poem^ in a fair, clerkly h;;nd. was found near a skeleton of remarkable "beauty of form and color, in the mus?um of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's; Inn, Lon don, and that the curator 6i the museum hui sent them to Mr. Perry, editor and proprietor of the-Jloi-riing Chronicle.]. Behold this ruin! 'Twas a skull Once of ethereal spirit full ; This narrow*cell was Life's retreat, This space was Thought's mysterious seas. ' " '. , What beauteous visions filled this spott What dreams of pleasure, long forgot ! Nor hope, nor love, nor joy, nor fear, ' Has left one trace of record here. Beneath this mouldering canopy Once shone the bright and busy eye ; But start not at the dismal void If social love that eye employed, If with no lawless fire it gleamed, But through the dews of. kindness beamed, That eye shall be forever bright When stars and suns are sunk in night. Within ;his hollow.cavern bung j The ready, swift and tuneful tongue ; I ;' falsehood's hone}- it disdained, And - ;here it could not praise was chained If boid in virtue's causo if spoke, Yet gentle concord never broke, - Tais silent tongue shall nle?d for thee "When time unveils eternity. Say, did thcao fingers delve the mine? Or -,vith its envied rubies shino? To hew tho rock, or wear the gem, Can little now avail to thenr: . . But if the page of truth they sought, Or comfort to tEo mourner brought, Taese hands a .richer meed shall claim Tiiau ail that wait on Wealth or Fame. Avails it, whether bnre or shod These feet the. path of duty trod, If from the boiver*cfjEaso they lied, To seek Affliction's humble shed; If Grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned And homo to Virtue's cot returned, These feet with angel's wings shall vie And tread the palace of the sky.

Martin Withersr oon Gary arrived in Cokes'bury this (Sun -. _ day) morning from Edgefield. accom.. pai??a by several friends and rela tives. It was escorted to the residence J. of his brother, Dr. F. F. Gary. . His face bore the natural command ing look that characterized him in life. On the 'coffin was' engraved in silver, M. W. Gary, Died April 9 ISSI. It toll be remembeied that Gen. Gary died on the sixteenth an niversary of the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox.Ccurt-House. The funeral procession moved from Di*. Gary's residence at half-p?8t 2 o'clock P. M. .The pall-bearers from Abbeij^'po^t^ were Cid. B. Z He:nuW,'4*r.^f?. Connor^Mcsas, G. W. ..Conner* and F. D" Cviu.or? Those from Edgefield. County were, Hon. John'C. Slieppari; .Messrs. Addison, B. W. Bettis, Jr.;and Ben jamin Abney. The remains were carried to Tabernacle Graveyard, two miles Southeast of Cokesbury. . Rev. William Thomas, the pastor of the Methodist Church here, con ducted the ceremonies. He made a few very appropriate remarks, some of whicit I take the. liberty of copy ing from hi3 notes :. "The cause of our gathering or. this sacred spot (the repository of the honored dead) is not only solemn, but to many of us extremely painful. . -A fellowman has passed away from earthly scenes. A companion has been taken Jfjpj^urmijsfc. A, friend hae been snatched suddenly from ? large circle of otherfriends. A broth er is. missed :from the hearthstone, where sit in nourning' loved sisters and other brothers, whose tears be speak the loss they have met. A son has been torn from the embrace of a doting mother, who still lingers (Mrs. Gary was still alive at this time) at the family home, under the pressing weight of more than three score and ten year3. These things deeply af fect us while we stand at the tomb ol the departed. We would- fain min gle our tears with the bereaved, and if possible mitigate their enp of sor: row. We sometimes assemble at the graveyard to place.in the tomb a sweet little hale, a simple bud of promise, that has not yet thrown its tendrils around the heartstrings of societjf. ^"|eiy the statement that the Genera] vould be on duty again in a few lays, but without avail. ?Jj 'you ougjHHJSBr^Ke ytf*iidf so P.U'JU concern ; he received ofcry- a lesh wound; no bones are broken."

Duty, though set about by thorns, lay be made a staff, supporting even rhile it tortures. Cast it away, and ike the prophet's wand, it changes to snake. Greatness stands upon a precipice, nd if prosperity, unbalanced by mo il suasion, carries a man ever so lit-J le beyond his poise, it overbears and 7 ashfs him to pieces.
