ed with the strictest and most minute or
ders Mademoiselle Agiee was permitted
to carry nothing with her, beyond what was
merely indispensable during the journey; and
in spite of her age and infirmities the day
after the Generals arrival she set out. On
arriving at Paris, she alighted at house
in the Place du Carousel, opposite the pal
ace of the Tuileries; there she found do
mestics in the livery of Bonaparte, and, IN
short. a completely furnished mansion;
well stocked wardrobe had been prepared
for her, Bonaparte had recollscted even her
fovourite colours, and had omitted nothing
he imagined would give her pleasure; she
had long audience of Napoleon, he assign
ed her, besides house, carriage, and DO
mestics, maintained at his expense, an annu-
al income of six thousand francs. Her PEN
sion notwithstanding the fall OF Napoleon,
continued to be regularly paid her, until her
death, which happened in 1922.
ECHOS.--There are several echos in
the highlands, which, from their powers.
and the number of times which they re-
peat, have attracted much attention among
the curious. From the spot where the ar
tillery is usually planted at West Point, we
have often counted five distinct reverbera-
tions on the discharge of a ield-piece. And
the celebrated echo below the Point, near
the scite of old Fort Washington, repeats
nine times. One of the most distinct echos
that ever we heard is upon the east side of
Ostego lake, occasioned by the peculiar
conformation of the mountain celebrated IN
Cooper's novel, "The Pioneers," as the SUI
bliinest scene of the fire in the woods. The
reverberation is distant, yet SO distinct,
that a whole sentence of ordinary length is
repeated; and the effect of band of music
of tranquil evening upon the bosom of the
lake, is very fine, as it appears like two
bands, ct different times playing the same
time. IN the days of auld lang sine," it was
favourte amusement of the villagers, with
their wives and sweethearts, to enjoy dou-
bc banquet of music in this way, upon the
lake of moonlight evening. But neither
of these echos bear any comparison with
one in the ncighbourhood of Milan. This
echo, as we are informed, has been counted
to repeat the report Of pistol eighty-five
times. And what renders the popularity
still greater, is the fact that some words
in the same sentence are repeated stronger
than others, and do not always regularly
and gradually diminish and die away. This
echo interested Bonaparte very much; he
went several times and used TO discharge
two pistols at once, and always exclaimed
that it was the most extraordinary thing he
ever heard ~. I. com. Dddp.

BURIAL AT SEA.

1t was morning at seattle sun had just
risen, and not u cloud appeared to obstruct
his rays--a light breeze played upon the bo-
som of the slumbering ocean-the stiffness
OF the morning was only disturbed by the
ripple of the water, or the diving of the
tiyng-fsh. 1t seemed as if the calm and
noisless Spirit fthe deep was brooding over
the waters. The National flag, diplayed
half way down the royalmast, played in
the breeze, unconscious of its solemn import;
the vessel glidcd in serenity, and seemed
tranquil as the element, on whose surface
she moved: she knew not of the sorrows
within her bosom, and appeared to look
down on the briny expanse beneath her, in
all the confidence and security OF thought.
To her brave crew it was morning of
gloom: they had been boarded by the angel
of death, and the forecastle contained all
that was mortal of his victim: his soul had
made its final cxit.-Grouped around the
windlass engaged in reflection, the hardy
sons of the ocean sympathised with each
other. Conscience was at his post believe
they were impressed with the realities of
eternity, they spoke of the virtues cf their
deceased messmatc---of his honesty, his SEN
sibilty, his last dollar Of hard earned wages,
with a distcssed shipnate-all could attest
to his affability. They spoke Of his accom-
plishments as a sailor. of his resolution, of
the nerve of his arm, and the intrepidity OF
his soul in the hour of peril, while the winds
ofheaven where let loose in all their fury,
and destruction was on the wing-seize the
helm and hold the ship securely, till the dam
ger had passed by. They would have con-
tinued long in their reverie, but they were
summoned to prepare for the rites OF sepul-
I ture and pay the last honors to their breath
less companion. The work was common
ced with heavy hearts and many sigh 4
rude coffin was constructed and the body
placed within it. The hardy crew, in theii
tar stained habiliments, stood round, the
main matches WAS his bier, forc-sail was
his pail. The main topsail was hove to the
mast; the ship paused in her course, and
} stood still; and as we committed his body
to tho deep" heard the knel of the ship
bell. and the plunge of the coffin The tears
Z started in the eyes OF the generous tars. My
soul melted within me as | thought of th'
home scenes of him whom we buried i'll tht

mourn the death Of monarch, it is not unfrc-

Not so the memory of : good mans death.
And when the pous pastor leaves his flock,
reflection yields a pleasing view-recounts his
scrnons-tcls his visits o'er-repcats the adj
monitions often given-while the walls of our
mansions seem to echo the prayers so lately
made in our behalf to Heaven. But his days
are ended. His labor of love on earth is done
and lie has entered, we trust, into that stem
pie not made with hands, eternal in the Heav-
ems" He was but a loan from God. A while
he shone, then sunk in sudden night. Nor was
his brilliancy merely like that of the forest leaf
which, wet with the dew of night, trembes as
il sparkles fin the sun beam, till parch'd by his
director ray, it falls again to the earth. Nor
was his glory like that which tends the meteor's
blaze whose greater glory, fading, leaves a
greater gloom. No--'twas like the siin of day.

he sets it is to rise-to rise safe from diseases
and decline, and ''to shine forth as the sun in
the Kingdom of his Father" lie was no stran
ger to thoughts Of death. He did not wait un
til the world should recedc from his.vicw, ere
he endcavoured to pierce beyond the .shadows
clouds, and darkness which hangs around etcr
nifty. when viewing the corpse of a departed
saint it was an usage almost invariable with him
to exclaim-
"My soul isin love with the beautiful clay,
And longs to lie in its stead"
And when his heart sickcn'd, and the pulse bca
low, the smiles OF Heaven chasd the frowns o
death While the hoar snow Of winter, or thS
green grass of summer, shall cover thy grave

A German lady Of great beauty and ac-

Here she could only learn the destiny of
