FUNERAL HYMN OF THE RUSSIANS.

FUNERAL lily Mn OF The III SSlANS.
The following hymn, recited over the
dead body Of Russian, previous to its
inhum alton, is taken from " Carr's North

and impressive:

is the graceful form? where is youth
where the organs of sight and the beau

"What lamcntation and wailing, and
mourning and struggling, when the soul
is separated from the body! Human life
seems altogether vanity, transient sha
dow: the sleep Of error; the unavalling
labour Of mag med existence let US there
fore fly from every corruption of the world,
that we may inherit the kingdom OF hea

Thou mother Of the sun that never
sets; Parent of God, we beseech thee in
tercede with thy divine offspring, that he
who hath departed hence, may enjoy re-

PRIDE.

PRIDE.
Few people have had a higher idea of
their own importance than Clothaire, the
son Of Clovis, King Of France. He had
burnt his own son and his family alive,
and the reno,sc, for this harsh method
Of showing his resentment, brought him
TO his grave When his end approached,
he observed to his attendants that God
Almighty must be ucry fo7aelJul. to be
able to destroy such puissant monarch
as himself
Some ages after, there died, in England,
a duchess Of Buckins Cham, who, having
been informed by her chaplain, when on
her death bed, that IN heaven there were
no particular allotments for Peers aud
Perrease&, said, Well, we'll, put me in
the right ay to get thitheF-but fan

The Cardinal de Lorraine, the hardness
Of whose heart has been celebrated, had
pride equal to his inhumanity. He was
introduced one day, ( as we are told by
Brantome,) to Donna Beatrice of portu-
gal, Duchess Of Savoy, and, as he APP
preached to salute her face, the lady, who
was at least as naughty as himself, drew
back, with some disdain, and offered him
her hand 10 kiss. He, sighting that ia
yor, still pressed forward towards her,
and She still continuing to retire, the irri-
tated cardinal, springing EDWARDS, caught
her by the neck, and saluted her, forcihly,
three or four times. Astonished at this
treatment, she exclaimed bitterly az inst

and Portuguese tongues, but gained very
