LEGISLATION.

Most Of our readers must be SO far
acquainted with the ancient form OF.
Polish Diets, as TO know that their resell
u.ions were not legally valid ifthere was
one dissenting voice, and that IN many
cases the most violent means were re-
sorted to, to obtain unanimity. The fol-
lowing instance was related to our infor-
mer, by a person of high rank. On some
occasion, a provincial Diet was conven-
ed for the purpose Of passing a resolu-
ton which was generally acceptable, but
to which it was apprehended n noble
of the district would oppose his Veto
To escape this interruption, it was gen.
orally resolved to meet exactly at the
hour Of summons, to proceed to business
upon the instant, and thus to elude the
anticipated attempt of the individual to
defeat the purpose of their meeting
They accordingly met at the hour, with
the most accurate precision, and shut
and bolted the door Of their place OF
meeting. But the d~issentient arrived a
few minutes afterwards, and entrance
being refused, under the excuse that the
Diet was already constituted, he climb
ed upon the roofofthe hall, and it being
summer time, when M fires were alight-
ed, descended through the vent into the
stove by which, in winter, the apartment
was heated. Hero he lay perdu, until
the vote was called, when, just as it was
about TO be recorded unanimous in favor
Of the proposed measure, he thrust his
head out Of the stove, like a turtle pro-
truding his neck from his shell, and pro-
neunced the fatal Veto. Unfortunately
for himself, instead Of instantly with
drawing his head, he looked round tor
al instant with e~xultaiion, TO remark and
enjoy the confusion which his sudden
appearance and interruption had excited
in the assembly. One Of the mobiles who
stood by ,unsheaihed his sabre and sever
ed at one blow the head Of the dlssen.
tient from his body. Our noble inform
er expressing some doubt Of a story so
extraordinary, was referred for its con-
firmation to Prince Sobiesky, after wards
King Of Poland, who not only bore tes-
timony to the strange scene as what he
had himself witnessed, but declared hat
the head Of the Dietin rolled ovcr his
own foot, almost as soon as he heard the
word VEro uttered. Such a constitution
required much amelioration; but that
formed no apology for the neighboring
states who dismembercd and appropriated

GREEK FUNERAL.

A late traveller gives the following ac-
count Of a Greek funeral. "A low bier,
standing near the centre oil the church
floor, bore the corpse, the remains Of Il
female. On her head was a white tur-
ban, in which was gracefully cntwined a
large braid Of hair. She was dressed in
a long light brown silk mantle, with edg-
es trimmed with sable. Her head was
resting on a pillow OF yellow silk, beau
tifully figured with gold, and a small
coverlet Of the same was spread over
the lower part Of the body, and hung
down from. the foot of the bier. She
seemed like u person who had thrown
herself on a couch, 10 rest from the ia
t,gues Of a journey. No coffin, no
shroud, non Of the wonted habiimenis
Of the dead were seen. On each side
Of the bier stood large waxen candles,
and around'were standing hundreds OF
friends, each bearing a lighted taper in
his hand. Half an hour or more, the
priests alternately chanted and recited
the funeral service, and at short intervals
numbers recited a sacred song
The Scriptures were opened, aud from
the ancient Greek was read, "the hour
is coming in the which all that are in The
graves shall hear his voice, and shall
come forth" An aged priest, with a
long hoary beard, standing by the side
Of the dead, in their own native dialect,
then addressed the people. He stood
there, he said, to speak for her who
could no longer speak for herself, and
for her to forgive any, who might in any
way have injured her. IL she had her
self injured any, he hoped that they would
freely forgive her. The assembly with
united voice, responded we forgive,
and may we also be forgiven of her,"
crossed themselves and bowed. Then
the crowd parted, and the relatives them
selves drew near. The eye OF the hus-
band was nows for the last time, fixed on
the object of his affections. Thrice he
crossed himself, then bowed and kissed
the cheek now cold in death; and so
affectionate was this last farewell, that
no one could pronounce it a ceremony
merely. The deceased wasihen borne
to the depository Of the dead, and when
land in the tomb, the priest poured oil on
her head, repeating from n Of the
Psalms Of David, "tbe earth is the Lords
and the fulness thereof; the world, and
they that dwell therein

that there was a tea in each. But the
father hastily brushed his away, and bow

one Of his trembling hands upon the table
for support, he paused awhile as if sub
dued by the presence ofthat Being whom
he was about TO address then elevating
the other, he exclaimed" Parent OF
goodness! Day by day we see thy lib
eral gifts. Day by day thou feedest us
with food convenient for us. Make us
sensible of or dependent state; aud may
our hearts flow with gratitude to thee the

The tone, the fervour. with which he
uttered this prayer ofthankfulness, evinc-
ed so much Of the humble and sincere
follower Of Christ; so much devotion,
gratitude and love, that my feelings were
excited even to tears. " hat a beautiful
picture of resignation and acquiesence

Yet in all he uttered that evening
there was no whisper Of complaint, no
sigh Of dependency. And the bible that
lay near him had effected this. In his
long sickness he had fondIy hung over
the inspired page, and the promises 10
contained had proved consolatary in his
darkest hours, and enabled him ut last
to triumph over calamity. Ye who blest
with a competency yet murmur at your

ries of every climate, yet scarce hold in
remembrance the source whence these
blessings flow-visit the cabin Of Gilbert
