LIFE AND DEATH.

The dearest ties are sundered, and the sable
pail conveys to the still grave the young, the
beautiful, the aged, and the worthy The solemn
knel rolls along the breeze as it tolls the mourn
full obsequies which are paid to the dead, and
strikes on the ear of the living with an ominous
and warning note
There is something peculiarly instructive in
those simple ceremonies which we devote to
our deceased friend when we say, sc Letus arise
and bury our dead'' TIE last look which we
bestow upon that countenance which has glad
dened us with its smile; the company of mourn
ers and friends who have assembled on this
heart-rendng occasion the address which as
cends from the lips of the divine to the throne
of Being who is seen only in his works the
silence and sorrow of those who are left for a
little time earth, until it shall be their fate to
follow the departed-the procession as it slowly
moves towards the last earthly tenement of man
the peal struck from the village church, which
now comes upon one listless earof clay-the fall
ing of the earth upon the young and amiable--
the return and dispersion of the silent congrega-
with us to our pillows, and the void, never again
to be filled, which is made among the little rank
of those we love-all these things furnish NOR
al too forcbly applied to be resisted, and ava
ken thoughts upon the future, beyond all that
the most labored essay or most eloquent tongue
can produce. We turn from this scene to that
which is pencilled upon future years: when the
rose and sweet-briar shall spring from the turf
resting on that bosom now beating with plea
sure tour approach, and heaving the convusive
sob at our affection: when, in fine, all that we
now look upon with so much of delight, shall
become but an unseemly skeleton within mar
row grave.

imprisoned by mischance or guile when the
storms hath no rainbow, and the midnight hath
no star where then are the fatterers of our
cloudless skies and our sunbright hours? When
the schemes of earthly ambition fail, and the
hiss of the multitude follows our downfall -
whittier have they departed Where is the sla-
dow that attended US, when the sun has yelled
his beams? Where are the summer birds when
the voice of winter signs in the leafess forestsp
Alas it is but interest or convenience or habit
or fashion that preserves the friendship of man
kind. Where are the friends of this world, when
the mouth of calumny has breathed mildew and
pestilence over the promise of our growing repu-
taton--Where are they, when the faint of
worldly dishonor has fallen on our heads, and
shame, whether deserved or not, has pointed Us
out for scon and mockery? They have gone to
worship the rising sun; and left perhaps their
former benefactor to pine in gloomy solitude

charm that uls to sleep
shade that follows wealth and fame,
Then leaves the wretch to weep
But the attachment of mother, no change
of fortune-no loss of infiuence-not even the
loss of character can destroy. As the triumph
of children is her own. so is their downfall, and
their dishonor Her heart bleeds for them in
stinctvely; her tears flow unbidden for their
sorrows. Her eye follows them while present,
and her soul goes with them while absent With
patience that never tires, and selfdenial that me-
yer ceases, she cheerfully sacrifices for them
her own comforts and pleasures Her sympa-

her friendship is unalterable in life and strong

prayer for the welfare of her children
Remembrance hovers over every incident, in
those calm and blissful days, when her presence
gave life its charm That affection which turn

ness which alleviated the pangs Of distress that
tenderness which smoothed the pillow Of sick

pain, that piety and that sanctity which kindled
in our heart the pure flame of devotion; those
smiles which beamed upon us, and ever the
brightest when the world was frowning; and
that unalterable love which supported us amidst
its unkindness and ingratitude, can these ever

become the victims of like transformation
The sun, the cottage of our infancy, the lake
glimmering beneath slvery moon, the vault Of
heaven, the friends of our youth, the partner of
our pillow, all, all the luxuries of Imagination
and of life are to become dim and indistinct;-
passion after passion must expire, sense after
sense must follow, oblivion will silently steal each
object of perception or of affection from before
us, we must become torpid, unconscious, and
finally die, and the same parade will be repeat
ed, and 'swhere are we ?'-The world will move
onward, the minute space we have filed will be
forgotten, and other generations tread sportive-
ly over the little hillock of earth within which
we are steadily Wondering back to our print
tive clay.
Often is it the case, that we cannot but indulge
in the idea that when the soul is severed from its
body, we shall in spirit revisit those scenes which
in life were dear to us; that we shall again look
from some high cliff upon the blue waters, and
gaze upon the tall ship as she booms over the
sea, beneath an evening sky-that we shall
Watcn over the fortunes OF tlOSe we loved IN
life, meet them again in affection, when they
shall have thrown off the clog of mortality, and
be ready, hand in hand, to ascend to higher re-
gions of bliss, when this earth shall have passed
away But the sportive tricks Of a wild imag-
nation should give place to the sober certainty
of revelation. Though we delight to linger
round those scenes which are dear to us upon
earth, though our consciences tell US that we
are not to bury in a parsimonious grave those
thoughts and perceptions which attach us so
closely to disembodied spirits, yet the present
period of danger warns us most emphaticallyt to
set our hearts in such order, that we may chal-
lenge deathto the combat His bolts are falling
around us, and the small space which is allotted
US before we shall be summoned to the lists in
an unknown cline, demands that our panoply
should be ready.

listlessness, which none can form any

state of apathy, in which thought itself
becomes almost too great an exertion,
when suddenly gentle breath Of wind
that swept along so lightly as to cause
no ripple upon the CLASSY surface ofthe
waveless deep, waited to my awakened
sense, tinkling sound, like the ring

CONCORD CELEBRATION

The following song, written by HENRI
FINN, Esq. was sung by him at the late cele
bration at Concord.
TUNE-"Scots apha hae," sc.
The night was hushed, the moonlight CLEAN
Lay sleeping on the gentle stream,
AS silent as an infants dream
Upon its parents breast;
And Concord slumberd safe from care,
But mists were in the midnight air,
AS though the Heav'ns were weeping there,
O'er briefly broken rest.
When mornings breath came DER the vale,
Wars voice had mingled with the gale,
And hearts were sad and cheeks were pale,
To hear the distant drum.
The mother clasp'd her babe, and fled,
The maiden tears of terror shed,
As onward moved the martial tread,
The cry was still-''They Gomez
Sent forth its shrill alarms around,
And foes were on the battle ground!
What chains can bind the brave'
As ocean mountain pillows meet,
Against the rock in madness beat,
Then rush in foaming fierce retreat,
Back rolPd the warrior wave!
The foe of freedom sternly stood,
In pride, upon the bridge Of blood
But death was floating in the flood;
The tomb of Tyranny.
Cur vollies csho through the sky.
Hark, bark! What glory's in the cry,
For Freemen shout, ''they fly! they fly"
"1he land are lore is free"
EPIGRAM.
Dick, issuing from fruiterer's shop,
In Piccadilly, t'other day,
O'erturn'd the housemaid's pail of slop,
Which, unobscrve'd, stood in his way.
Harry, who, poaching for pun,
On purpose at his feet had struck it,
Exclaim'd, while chuckling at the fun,
raallo my friend, you've kick'd the buehet!'
''Pshaw, hold your silly tongue" quoth Dick
"Your raillery's false as we'll as stale
IL.

of this celebrated Harrow, now gene

which has, in great measure, superseded

parts of the adjoining states; and, it is be-

well as corn. Planters can be supplied with
