EF1E REPOSITORY.
FROM AN ENGLISH JOURNAL.
THE DTSINTERMENT- SKETCH

On a fine dav in the month Of June, funeral
procession issued from the parkgates of Woodley-
Hall in the county of Gloucester. The poor nha
bitants of the neighborng village lowered about the
train with mute reverence; paying the last sad tes-
timony of respect and affection to one, who had
been endeared to them by many acts OF kindness
and socitude. They following to its cold
home the corpse of Eliza, wife of Sir William Fan
shaw.
Never was there loveler summer day than the
one appointed for this dismal ceremony. The trees
looked proudly in the lustness their young greens
the dark blue of the sky unspotted by single
cloud; and the sun shot out his sultry strength
making the birds wanton and noisy with the exube-
rance of their JOY.
Alas what was all this glory of nature to the sad
company who were moving along the road, thinking
of the tomb and the premature death of that young,
beautiful, and virtuous one, whom they were con-
veving thither How could they enjoy the quick
carols of the birds, when the deathbell, gaining IN
strength as they proceeded, smote their ears and
startled their secret sorrowing with Its measured
and obstinate recurrence The glad colour OF the
grass and of the leaves was not in harmony with
their mourning garments and the vital sun cou'o
scarcely be reoiced in, shining on their tears and
on that dark slow moving hearse.
The service for the burial Of the dead not east
ly endured by even an unconnected auditor so
oppressive is the obscure and gloomy imagination
in which it is written. What then must our mourn
ers have felt their loss being unexpected and sore
ly afiicting) when the priest, meeting the dull COT
fin at the church porch walked on before it, repeat
ing his solemn wordsl Then the agony OF grief
burst forth in sobs and Mysteries; and then did the
dreary thought arise, that there was nothing but
corruption and modification in the world.
But we slaves Of circumstances for these
ideas, which seem to lie down immoveably in de-
spar were soon lifted into happy aspirations on the
swell Of the organs sounds; and the cottagers who

continued, were also relieved by the music, and
blest Il as it trembled out into the sunny air.
When the lady of whom write was stricken with
illness. which was only week before her death,
she begged her husband to bring her the gold chain
and locket enclosing her hair, which he had gwen
her before their marriage. This she hung round
her neck, and solaced her weary and painful hours
with contemplating it, and by force OF the assocla
ton Of ideas it excited living again In times gone
by One evening she beckoned Sir William, who
was sitting in her chamber, to her side, and SAID =
"Reach me your hand, my dear husband. I am
growing much worse. feel perilous sinking in
my frame, and death is in my thoughts If this be
nothing more than womanly timdty, bear with it,
dearest for my sake, and give me courage by stay
ing by my side through the night
s.Be comforted, my love-" replied her husband,
ssthis weakness is common enough. You will be
better in the morning and in the mean time shall
not stir from your bed You will talk to me IN
different manner when, after you have had good
sleep, shall show you the cheerful sungtsS steal
ing on the dawn see even now your eyes are
closing compose yourself, therefore, dear one,
and sleep"
The chamber was hushed the patient lay still,
and seemed in so profound repose, that her breath
ing was not heard. The curtain was softly adjust
ed round her bed; and Sir William, happy and full
of favorable omens in the idea that his wife had at
| length remission of pain, took book, and fixing
as much attention on it as he could command, wore
the night hours away. Every thing within and with
out continued in deep stiffness, broken only towards
the morning by the pleasant sounds OF awakening
nature. which might be heard in SO removed place
the shrill birds, the wheeling hum of the bees
darling from their hive in the garden below, and
the leaves dallying with the morning breath. These
together with the strong white lines which inter-
sected the shutters, admonished Sir William and
the nurse of the time their patient had slept. The
light was therefore admitted into the room, and
they looked into the bed
"How is this % said Sir William. ''She has not
moved hairs breadth since we her last night.
Good God how pale her face and lips are ! Hea-
ven grant all may be well but tremble under my
fears. Go instantly, and bring the physician
The physician came he was alarmed at her ap-
pearance; a feather was placed her lips, and
Sir William bent with keen eyes over it. 1t did
not move. Alas alas her spirit had passed away,
while her husband, sitting close to her, was congra
tulating himself on the prospect of her recovery.
She must have stirred once in the night, though
it was done with such gentleness not to be per-
| for Of her hands found inside leI
