A TURKISH FUNERAL.


A TURKISH FUNERAL.
The following interesting account
of a Turkish FnneraI. is from the
Journal Of MIR. Gaodell, Of the Pales.
tine Mission.
.sThis morning, Turk of consi>
derabie distinction was buried. This
event was early announced by the
screams Of the women, as they pass
ed mournfuiiy along to the place OF
interment, They being collected IN
great numbers. and in still greater
numbers among the graves. wrapped
as they are nm such occasions. in a
large white sheet, smote upon their
breasts or waved their handkerchief
in the air, and addressing the deceas-
ed. cried, You are gone you are
nothing you are dead you have no
mother to weep over your grave !!
Why did you die {! @ why did Won
dieH They would then vent their
feelings in the loudest screams, and
appear frantic with grief. After this
had continued more than an hour.
being repeated OH every accession to
their numbers, a large concourse of
men appeared with the corpse and
with various other garments and arti-
cles Of the deceased, and with about
twenty banners unfurled. They
walked fast. all signing and bowling
down their heads to the earth. The
standards were PLACED, several to-
gether. in opposite points near the
grave, and all the men arranging
themselves around them, went thro'
their service in a low key OF voice.
but with all their strength, and at
the same time bowling their heads aud
bodies, with all the violence possible.
The body is always. I believe, taken
out Of the coffin to be placed beneath
the ground. and the caftin returned
to the city for "ther occasions. Eve
~ morning and evening, for per-
haps a month. the friends visit the
graye--the women and Chi'dreR to
strew myrtle npon il, and the men to
say their prayers with the sehemence
above described. The burial place !
should think. contained not less than
10 acres OF ground. There are two
others near the city which are not so
large. The graves are generally ar
ranged with order and neatness."
In a new work. entitled Canada
by a Mr.. Talbot, we find the follow
ing accurate description Of men and
manners in America:
"They (the Anericans.) having
new r travelled. either pers"naIly. or
by means of the published works ct
those who have wandered from home,
they know nothing OF any part of the
world, except that in which they live:
and. being ignorant OF every thing
which does not belong to agricultural
or mechanical pursuits, their CONVEX.
sstion., even when it can be under
stood. seldom possesses any great in
terest."
"In various American companies
when ! have presumed to reprobate
this cruel usage. (gougi"g) to my No
small confusion have | always been
met with a plea of Justification aud
"England set us the example !".has
invariably been the sweeping stroke
to level all my arguments. 10 such
an extent is this method Of 60clng
carried in the Southern States of A.
merica, that when the people of New
England or those IF Canada observe
a man who has only one eye, and the
place where the other is not. they
commonly say that he has received a

EN- on his approaching death with the latter part
of which shall conclude this paper
Now spring returns but not to me returns
The vernal joy my better years have known:
Dim in my breast LIES dying taper burns,
And.all the joys of life with health are flown:
Starting and shiv'ring in tn inconstant wind,
Meagre and pale, the ghost of what was,
Beneath some blasted tree lie recln'd,
And count the silent moments as they pass
The winged moments, whose unstaying speed
Nor art stop, nor in their course arrest;
Whose fight shall shortly count me with the dead,
And lay me down in peace with those that rest,
Oft morning dreams presage approaching fate;
And morning dreams, poets tell, are true.
Led by pale ghosts, enter'd deaths dark gate,
And babe the realms of light and life adieu
I hear the helpless wall, the shrek Of wo;
see the muddy wave, the dreary shore,
The sluggish streams that slowly creep below,
Which mortals visit and return no more.
Farewell, we blooming fields We cheerful plains.
Enough, for me the church yards lonely mound,
Where melancholy with still silence reigns,
And the rank grass waves DER the cherries
ground.
There let me wander at the close of eve,
When sleep sits dewy on the laborer's eyes,
The world and all its busy follies leave,
And talk with wisdom where my Daphnis lies.
There let me sleep, forgotten, in the CLAW,
When Death shall shut these weary aching eyes;
Rest in the hope of an eternal day,
Till the long night gone, and the last arise.

HISTORIC BEAUTIES,
COURAGE.

JOHN III. duke Of Brittany, dying without issue,
left his dominons to his niece Jane, married to
Charles de Bois, nephew to the king of France; but
John de Mountfort, brother to the late duke though
by second marriage, claimed the duchy, and was
received as successor by the people of Nantes. The
greatest part of the nobility feay to Charles
dc Blois, thinking him best supported. This dis
pute occasoned q civil war in the course of which
John taken prisoner, and sent to Paris. This
misfortune would have entirely ruined his party, had
not his interest been supported by the extraordi-
nary abilities of his wife, Jane of Flanders, lady
who seems to have possessed in her own person all
the excellent qualities of both sexes. Bold, daring
