When I am dead. 0 bury me not,
An iron rail within ;
But seek for a quiet, secluded spot,
That's as little known ae my earthly lot,
And visited less by Sin.
HolloW a grave, and let me recline
BeVide a quiet stream ;
Where the violets bloom and the roues twine
With ihe bending willow and ivy vine.
And there J will lie down and dieam.
Place not a stone with flattesfis-j*wond»
Upon nay weary breast;
But cover me o'er with cooling soda,
And ihe warbling thrushes nnd mocking birds
Will sing to me while I rest.

The Hnytl.-in Revolution nnd itNLtadcr.
The New York Herald has the following history
of the Haytlan revolution :
Ever since the financial crisis, about a year ago,
brought about by the Bight of the broker. Reim-
bnud, who carried oft' a million of dollars, and
plunged the island iuto commercial ruin, the subjects of Souloqne have been disaffected.
Souloqne was freely charged with having aided
his escape, owing, it was said, to certain financial
transanctions of his own in connection with Reim
baud or bis friends. Certain it is, tbat lhe Em"
peror permitted Reimbaud to evade justice, and to
bring destruction up *n uear.y all the commercial
prosperity ofthe empire.
This fact, added to his cruelty, avarace and love
of personal aggrandisement, had made him ex
tremely unpopular. Discontent grew apace, until
n December last one of his Generals, Fabre Uef-
frard, raised the standard of revolution in the city
of Gonaives against tbe power of the Emperor.
The events since thei* which have led to the
overthrow of Souloqne, it is not necessary to repeat, Geflrard, the new President oftbe Republic
of Hayti. is a mau somewhat advanod in years,
bis hair is gray, and he has the appearance ol
having seen a good deal of life. He ie at least50
yea'-s old. His manners are very popular, and be
is a favorite of tlie people ; so much so indeed,
that once belore he was on the point of being arretted by the present Emperor.
Sonloque has always opposed the iiiflutr.ee of
foreigners, Geflrard, on the contrary, favors, it
and endeavors to gain the confidence and esteem
of strangers.
He is nearly black, but stiil has enme white
blood in hii veins. He was at one time Governor
ot Jacmel, but Sonloque bei ne jealous of hispopu
larity, and afraid of hiB influence, withdrew him
from that post and retained him near his-own person as one of his stuff.

to Scott's Ear, and from Ihence to Yreka Flat,
and was the first whits woman there, l^inally she
removed to Oregon, and is there residing, if the
New Caladonian discoveries did not again rouse
ber spirit of exploration. Her history is remarkable : She was born in England, inheriting two
hundred thousand pounds, which having been
somehow squandered alter her marriage^sbe aud
her husband went to Australia; there the man
died, and, marrying Walton, she came bere ; and
ever restless, apparently desiring escape from human society, she has kept penetrating desolate
wilds. Her face, though time and care-bleached,
retained vestiges of considerable beauty ; her
mind was prodigally stored ; she had learned Latin and Greek, and exhibited familiarity wilh the
polite accomplishments of her day and country.
She brought a dozen cand'es with her from Hum
boldt; six of them she gave to a sick malt whom
she carefully and tenderly wafched. Let her he
remembered, and let her story be oft told.

Take Ltfk Like a Man.—Take it as though it
was—as it is—an earnest, vital, essential affair.
Take it just as though you personally were born
to the task of performing a merry part in it—as
though the world had waited for your coming.
Take it as though it was n grand opportunity to
do and to achieve, to carry forward great and
go{.d schemes; to help and chcr a suffering,
weary, it may be heart-broken, brolher. The fact
is. life is undervalued by a great majority of mankind. It is not made lialf as much of as should be
the case. Where is the man or woman wdio accomplishes one tithe of what might to be doue?
