COMP ASSION.

VoLTA1RE, in his history of the Gar Peter, gives
us the following anecdote Of the Czarna "Ihe
lenty of this princess" says he, 'has been carried
to degree unparalleled in the history of any nation
She had promised that during her reign nobody
should be put to death; and she has kept her
word. She is the first sovereign that ever Showed
this regard to the human species. Malefactors are
public works-a regulation not less prudent than
humane, since it renders their punishment of some
advantage to the state. In other countries they
only know how to put maefactor to death with
the apparatus OF an eXecutioner but are not able
to prevent the execution Of crimes The terror of
death does not perhaps, make sue. impression on
evildoers, who are generally given to idleness as

CHURCH-YAR WANDERINGS.

1t may seem harsh to accuse civilized people of
negecting the dead, when their memory is prescrv-
ed in some countries with a religious veneration
and when even unenlghtencd nations exhibit an
afectionate regard for them The nsorais of the
South Sea Islanders, and the observations lately
made by our countlymen among the amable peo
pie Of the Loo Choo Islands, prove this The Anne
rcan savage never forgcts the tomb Of his fathers
In his trackless woods, he scoops out the pit in
which he nters the body and though drawn by
war or hunting hundreds Of miles distant-though
years may have elapsed and age palalvzed his limbs
he even then direct the inquirer to the spot
again, and can REGAL with flal respect the number
Of moons which have passed away since he commit
ted the parental relics to the earth he remembers
too the exact height of the sun that marked the in
terment. The PaygujnoteS, so baselv sacrificed to
their enemies the Turks, with fine romantic feel
ing Of regard for the bones of their fathers collect
ed them in heaps in their market place, and burned
them, that they might not be thought to have aban-
doned them to the detestable barbarians who were
hcenced to rob them Of their native soil This
was an act worthy of Grecian hearts when Greece
was in her glory. Thus respect for the dead is
natural feeling born with us and matured with our
being. The regard of the Egyptians, Greeks ard
Romans for their dead and the supendous, but vain

the fear of chastisement and hard labour, renewed
every day"
AS there was something very extraordinary in
the advancement of this princess, the reader will
not be dspleased with a relation Of the steps by
which she assembled the throne. She born in
Worthsey, in Livonia, and losing her parents, who
were of low condition. she became destitute of sup
port The parish clerk, who kept school, took
her into his house, till Dr. Chuck, minister of Ma
renburg, happening to come to that village, cascd
the clerk Of his burden, by taking herinto his fam
". The doctor, pleased with her behaviour treat
ed her almost in the same manner as if she had been
his own daughter and not only had her taught
spinning and sewing but instructed her himself in
literature above the knowledge of her sex. At
length, Livonian SERGEANT in the Swedish army,
fell passonatcy in love with her and she agreed,
with consent Of the doctor, to marry him. The
next day the Russians made themselves masters of
Marenburg; and the general, casting his eyes &C
Cidentay on Catharine, and observing something
very striking in her air and MANNER took her under
his protection, and afterwards into his service
Some time after, she was advanced to be house
keeper to Prince Menzkof, who was the generals
patron here the Gar seeing her, she made such
an impression on him, that he married her in the
year I'LL. What became of her former husband
the serjeant, is not known.

evidences time has spared of their respect for Them
are known to all conversant with antiquities.
But of all modern burying places the Turkish
are those which most impress the mind with the last
change. Black expresses form grove around eve
ny tomb, which is disturbed, and consequent
ly the cemetery increases in size, with every fresh
interment, until it covers whole horizon. Grave
upon grave, with the plantations thus multiplied,
present sad and gloomy appearance-the tops Of
the expresses undulate in the wind for leagues, like
waves on dark ocean of death. White marble
here and there contrasts with the deep dense shades
ofthe sombre foliage and the whole scene is stamp
cd with most impressive and melancholy grandeur.
In the South Of Spain, the cemeteries afford d.
rect contrast of character to those of Turkey CUR
ing the time soourned in Spain, (saysL l.. NJ de Lam
gle) found in various towns and villages the most
charming buryng grounds, in regard to the situa-
ton and rural aspect they presented. On the road
from Grenada to Cadiz, in a little town of Antiquera
one struck me beyond all the rest-and though
only saw it once passing, have its exact picture
imprinted on my memory, 1t was in the centre of
the town, and the church was situated near the mid
die OF it 1t stood on high ground, was square, and
commanded clear view or all arOund-a Streamlet
ran sparkling through the centre, the soil was CO.
vered with jcssamines, yiocts, roses, and number
less other flowers that sprung up spontaneously
without culture. There were expresses, syca-
mores or other trees of sorrow, with their bastard
green colour, nurturing melancholy beneath their
boughs, and seemed devoted TO the service of death
-butthe were plenty oflote trees and apple trees,
on which thousand birds were singing among the
branches"
In the uncultivated and wild parts of America,
the grave of settler or backwoodsman is excavated
in the midst of boundess forest beneath trees that
have forshcd for unknown ages, and in a spot,
perhaps never before visited by a human intruder.
The grave is dug deep to prevent wild beasts from
dsinterring the body. There it is inhumed, 'un-
household without dirge prayer, and being CO.
vered with earth, is resigned forever amid the So
lennity of those mighty soitudes to its unbrokcn
repose
