TIE CHURCH YARD
You have sauntcrrd, perhaps, of a moonlight
evening, out of the precincts Of the living, mov-
ing world, to lin9cr and contemplate among the
grass grown memorials OF! those who are gone.
"'rhe body 70 It's place,
And the scrl to beavers grace,
And the rest j. Gods alone"
IN appalling chill shoots through The current
Of HE, at the undi>turbcd and universal! silence
Of the scenc-the stars TRANQUILITY shining On the
White marble, and freely Illuminating the name,
which friendship had carved for the ,lurnbcrer
hct"ath; here IL" grass waving in ruiik luy,fi
ance, as il 70 Ind" the triumph, and tic trophies
OF death. and thfIc a human bone uncarthcd
from ITS time worn sepulchle, a shastly visitor
to the realms Of day; a wooden tablet making
the repoee Of the humble; cross the sign Of
tie believer, and lofty and magnificent memo
rial, over the mortal relies Of the wealthy and
the great All! who, in such an assembare as
tins, can be accounted great? What gold sur

We can learn nothing from the living which
the dead do not teach US. Would beauty be
modest and unlrctending, let her cunt the hall
and the festival for a moment, and carry her
toilet to the tomb. Would the proud learn hu
manly; The penuIous charity; the frivolous Sc
Tiousncss; the bigotcd philanthropy; would the
scholar ascertain the true objects Of knowledge,
the man OF the world, the true means of happi
ness here and hereafter; and the ambitious, the
true sources Of greatness, let him retire awhile
from the living ana commune with the dead
We must all come to the mournful and silent
grave. Our bones must mnglc in one common
mass, Oar affections should travel in the same
PATH for they must terminate in one fearful is
sue. Life is full Of facilities Of virtue and of
happiness; and when you would abuse them, 90
purify your affections, and humble your pride,
aHd lcn'c your hopes at the tomb Of a friend,
when nc stars are SHINING upon it like the elo-
rious beams Of religion on the mansion Of death.
Il seems TO be a very common opinion
that virtue is grave and clanehoiy, but
find II to be exactly the contrary. Mrs.
Barbauld vas fond of the theatre. and it is
said that through the whole course of her

that combines with the devotional spirit of
her writings TO prove the purity of her life
