V( 'IT.. CITY OF CARROLLTO _H OP JEFFER5ON, LA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1860. NO. 15.
IlIELLANEOUS.
Lone MIlountain Cemetery.
Per beyond the city's ton ""t,
* And the thronging pa s' tread,
Stands the beautiful Lone Mountain, }
City of the Dead.
Grandeur sleeps along the hillsides
Beauty in each grassy vale;.)
And the stirring trees chant vepii. .
To the evening gale.
Statesmen with their tasks unended,
Poets with rare so igs unsung,
Little child, and maid, and matron, , .
Love's sweet harp unstrung;
God's true nobles, poor, yet loya Ps
Honored brows from many a
Gently rest where gates of sile t
Shut them out from Time.
,hey have left the sunny vineyard,
nd the classic palm tree's shad4eI
the frod tit. greent savannd,
.'.,d the h: athtr'y g'ae.
-rooked their last on Alpine glaciers,
On their drear, Northic'a snows
And the orient's bowers enchanting,
There to find repose.
The, have braved unnumbered dangers
'rempests of the ragting iainl
Perils of the mountain palsses,
anguors of the plain;
All,,e treacherous minisllie.
* .And the tropic's firsihl breath,
Amid Nature's peatdeful bootuty,
" Thus to learn of Death!
WValls of anaval'ing anguish.
From all climes becs. tnth the sun,
Have gushed forth for th'io' outse ,1iwcllrs,
Though their o , :'. done:
Cheeks have b:'anc. ,I h ciiscirt sorrow
SIveredl heads lut'' touie it with care
Chihlish mirth bcen hushed i) ,veei,m"g
For the sleepers there!
Winter, as in soft ernmplpaeion
For the stran"gers ioiie mauy weep,
Leaves his snows to scatter roses
Where they lie asleep.
Spring and summer light the ve.llhys
WVitih it wviil 'l ruess of ib:olnS;
Every season weaves in i'cSisicg
Garlauds for the toiub.
When tihe morning's ruddy lustre
Breakc aclng the Eastern hills, ;
O'er their graves, like tears of amber,
The rich light distills.
Hour by hour, in dreamy spleindor.
The clear heaven above t.,eu licis,
With the mellow depth and be:auty
Of Italian skies.
Murmurs of thi. blute Pacifi',
Which the vs andering inds h ve caughgt,
VWith it sadde,:r scunntdi thani e lIi et,
Overlean the sptt.
And when tw:light's lucent s end.ore
Flush and pule along the west,
Pilgrims by the Gates of (ilury,
Seem they, taking rest !
