over with the heavy clouds of avarice and

conventionality.

A beautiful little country church-yard, standing upon a grassy eminence, exists about two miles eastward of the village, and nearly the same distance from any of man's habitations. It is a peaceful, lonely, solemn resting-place; and wondrously still. It stands amidst waving corn-fields and verdant meadows, and is fanned by the light Sea breezes.

Where that pure form doth rest.

WHERE, on the holy Sabbath morn,

The mellow turret-bell

Calls only simple country folks,
Who know no townly hell;

Where, through the lips, the true heart speaks,

In hymns to God addrest—

So quiet and sacred is the spot

Where that pure form doth rest.
