QUAKER BURIAL.

II was in the twilight ofan antumn-
al evening, that stranger, who had
just returned from long scjourn in
foreign land, found himself traversing
one of the most quiet and uufrequcnt-
ed streets Of Bristol. Busted in the
reflection which That sober though,ed
hour is apt to produce musing on
past scenes and early friends, ,he dead
on' the distant, the crowds We knew,
the one we loved, he found himself,
on & sudden, making one in p occs<-
ion, who were apparently, d'scharg-
ing the last Office that-man requires Of
his fellow. Indifferent to the event,
'he stranger allowed himself to be car
ried forward with the multitude, and
1t vas no, III, he had entered large
unadorned building, and was seated
on one of the benches which were
ranged along the wall that he became
conscious he was within Quakers'
Meeting, the witness of a Quaker's
burial.

and pageaniry Of the east, the scene
was new and interesting: and It migiu

gangrene Of The soul made the wan
derer exclaim in a kind Of mrnla! so
li'oquy, as he gazcd on the placid face
of the Friends around him, Oh!
bad my life to live over again, what
a different creature would ] be."-lIe
closed his reverie. The society, two
and Two, slowly walked up the centre,
and seated themselves at the upper
end ofthe building. A plain, unor-
namental, deal coffin, continuing the
remains Of their late brother, was then
solemnly born up the middle aisle.
and placed in full view of the assem-
bly,. One Of the society then rose
and made brief request for silence.
To the credit Of the crowded assem-
blage, it was instantly and strictly
complied with. There could hardly

profound aud death-like stiffness
which now reigned throughout the
whole building, aud nothing more sub

the realities Of eternity, were those
who bad been the pariakers Of his
hopes, his privileges and his faith:

sadness, those whom his bounty had
relieved, his support encouraged, his
advice consoled, and his example gui-
ded True, the sublimer service Of
our church was wanling-il,at no
notes Of the swelling organ came
bursting on the ear-and no procla-
nations were heard of titles and styles
Of those who are then alike insepsible
TO praise and censure:--but there was
something inexpressibly affecting in
the silence which prevaded the whole
assembly, so deep, so unbrokcn, that
the ticking oftbe clock was distinctly
audible, and that the ear was stortlcd
even by siifed sob, which here and
there burst from feelings which were be-
yond control. A female friend short
ly after arose and addressed the

ETISCELIANY,
AN OLD MANS STORY.

While travelling, for the benefit Of my
health, through the states of New York,
and Vermont, in the year 1893, my
friend and fellow traveller, Frank Ner-
edith, urged me much to visit Hoosac,
one ofthe tributary streams Of the ro-
mantle river Hudson; this spot was rem
| dered interesting to him from the cir
cumstances of his maternal uncle, Cap
tain Baum, of the British army, having
fallen near it at tho battle of Hoosac,
or, as ii is erroneously called, the battle
Of Bennington.
| 1t was towards the close Of a sultry
day in August, that we reached the
beautiful and Wandering river Hoosac;
Meredith proposed our aighting al a
farm house, not far from its margin,
which, though the building itself was
very ancient, the grounds around il were
IN high state of cuitivs.ion; we fast
| ened our horses TO tree at a short dis
| tance from it, end proceeded TO the en-
trance so quietly as TO be totally unheard
by its inmates, one Of whom. we could
distinctly hear reading. We paused a
! moment at the threshold, over which was
twinrd hop and honey-suckle vine; a
few blossoms etrcmaincd ofthe latter,
| from which the pretty and impassioned d
hunmingbrd was culling its last sweets.
The sun was just sinking beneath the
horizon, and IFS red beams fading be-
hind the heights Of Bcmis, showed this
remarkable spot to great advantage: in
short a more loyel ly landscape l never

was just about to apply the handle
Of my whip at the door, to announce
myselfwith an important knock to lis
humble inhabitants, when Meredith laid
his hand uponm arm and arrested its
progress Stopn said he, look before
you leap The door having, of ITSELF
! fallen partially open, presented pleas
ing and Interesting group to our vicw.
An extremely pretty young woman,
dressed in style vastly superior to that
ofthc generality of the wives and dauah-
tors OF the farmers in the interior, sat by
cradle where slumbered a rosy cherub
and was with her foot rocking it gently
Her eyes were bent upon her work
while she was plying her needle with
assiduity. Beside her sat young man
of an uncommonly prepossessing ap.
peorance, but extremely pale, with his
right arm confined in sling; the hand
OF which contained book, from which
he was reading to his beloved compan-
ion, over the back Of whose chair the
other arm fondly rested. He read, and
she listened with such pleased attention
that, had it rot been for slight growl
of Keeper the lazy house dog, we
might have stood some moments longer
unobserved; but he awakened their at
tention, when they both arose, and we.
having introduced each other, were told
that our host and hostess were Mr.. and
Mrs. Jackson. They urged us to walk
in and rest ourselves. We soon learn.
cd that we could be accommodate ed with
beds and, glad to rest our weary limbs
concluded TO remain there that night.

Congrsss.-Thc people are generally much
mortified that the present session OF Congress
has been idly consumed in debates by the Jack
son men, without doing the important business
which required attention. The friends OF the
administration have been disposed 10 remedy
the evil, in some measure, by sitting The last
few days to late hour, in hopes 10 get through
the bill on the Colonial Trade, as we'll as the
Tariff Bill. But The Jackson men in the senate,
wish TO prevent the opportunity TO take up the
latter bill Last week, while the former bill
was under discussion, Senator Eaton moved to
adjourn, Mr.. Chambers, Of Md. opposed the
motion, and called for the yeas and nays Up
on he vote, the yeas were %, nays %. The
vice president MIR Calhoun, being called upon
for tine casting vote, voted to adjourn!
Thus the Jackson men refuse 10 remedy, as
far ss practicable, their waste Of the public
time. The welfare oil the nation is sacrificed to
the zeal OF party. Tens Of thousands Of dollars
are consumed in debating the question why
Jackson men were not employed to do printing
10 the amount Of four hundred and fifty dollars in
preference to friends of the Administration. In
The mean time, bills involving the interests Of
the people, 10 the amount Of millions, are put
10 sleep.

proclamations, for he is neither a sovereign nor

come the Cadmus which bears the noble visitor.
He disembarks amidst the roar Of artillery and
the acclamations Of countless multitude, and
scarcely has he landed when the profound emo
ton inspired by mis- presence. extends itself to
all the confedera,ed people Of this vast empire.
The magistrates are presented to him; the old
men, remnants of those soldiers who fought
with him, hasten to behold the French General
who was the frs: to devote himself to the cause
Of their independence. Young females strewed
his path with flowers: the youngest infants, a
growing generation, which may hereafter des-
cribe this imposing spectacle, carried or their
breasts, the portrait of the hero whom their ia
theirs welcomed: every where on his route he
passed under ,riumphal arches; riches were
thrown at his feet; and when, after this visit,
rather this triumphal march Of ayear, Lafayette
returns to his native country, we hear, long az
ter, from the borders of America, songs to the
glory and honor of the citizen Of the two worlds.
Nm the glowing language Of patriotism and
republican enthusiasm, Mr.. Bryan has recount
ed some Of the principal events in the life of
this illus:rious parsonage, and particularly
those of his last visit to the United States. All
is not equally good in the collection Of this A.
merican poet, but the admirers Of poetry will
distinguish many passages full ofspirit & ina
gination: such for instance as The Greeting, a
piece (supposedt to beg addressed to the General
on his arrival at Yorktown, and The VaIedict org,
poem in which we find versi6cation of the

States and the national Guest"
