SORROW FOR THE DEAD.

SORROW FOR THE DEAD.
WASHINGTON IRVING.
The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from
which refuse to be divorced. Every other
wound we seek to heal every other affection to
forgct-but this wound we consider it duty to
keep open. This affection We cherish and brood
over in solitude. Where is the mother who would
willingly forget the infant that persisted, like bios
som, from her arms, though every recollection is a
pang Where is the child that would Wllingly for
get the most tender of parents, though to remem-
her be but to lament Who even in the hour of
agony, would forget the friend over whom he
mourns Who, even when the tomb is closing up
on the remains of her he most loved, and he feels
his heart, it were, crushed in the closing of its
portals would accept consolation that was to be
bought by forgetfulness No, the love which sur
wives the tomb is Of the nobest attributes of the
soul If it has its woes it has likewise its delights
and when the overwhelming burst Of grief is Gained
into the gentle tear of recollection when the sud-
den anguish and the convulsivc agony over the prc
of all that we most loved is sofeDed away
into pensive meditation all that was in the DAYS
of its ovel.ness-who would root out such sorrow
from the heart Though it may sometimes throw a
passing cloud even over the bright hour of gaictv
or spread deep sadness over the hour of gloom
yet who would exchange it even for the song Of
pleasure or the burst of rcvelry No, there is
voice from tic tomb sWectcr than song. There
a recollection OF the dead to which We turn even
from the c.larhs OF the living Oh the grave the
grave 1t burcS every error--covers every de-
tect-cAt!ngulshes every resentment. From its
peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and
tender rccocctioEs. Who can look down upon
the grave even Of an enemy, and not feel a com
punctlous throb, that ever he should have varied
with the poor handful of earth that lies moulderDsr
before INN But the grave of those we loved
what place for meditation Then it is that we
call up in long review the whole h.stor, Of virtue
and gentleness, and the thousand cndearmt MS la
wished upon us almost UNDECIDED in the dali, inter-
course OF intimacy ;--then it is that we dwell upon
tac tenderness, the solemn awful tenderness of the
parting sccne-the bed Of death, with all its stAed
grics, its noiseless attendants its nute Watchu as
aidutes-the last testimonies Of expiring loye-thc
