THE HOUR OF BURIAL.


BY J. C. WHITTIER OF HAvERHILL
Nay, bury not your dead by night,
When the cold stars, and colder moon
Look dimly down upon the blight
OF flowers that bloom'd to fade so soon;
And darkness, heavier than the pail,
Brood DER the gloomy burial.
What is the unquiet world that death
Should be a sad and fearful thing
And what is life, that yielding breath
Such images of gloom should bring?
What is the peaceful grave, that day
Should look not on its opened clay
Nay, yield not up your dead by night;
~ For DER the shroud and dropping pail,
The mellow gush of kindlier light,
From morning clear, blue heaven should fall
And the free breezes softly shed
Their stolen fragrance round the dead
Yield up your dead the storms of earth
Go powerless DER the peaceful sod,
Where man awaits his summons forth,
To meet the high and living God
And fear, and hope, and pining care,
Are hushed in wakeless sumber there.
Ay, yield your dead but let the sun
Look out upon their burial hour,
And let the wind go moaning on
Its requiem of unearthly power;
And the sweet breath of flowers steal up,
From bending stem and dewy cup.
1t should be thus; for nought hath life
To call the tear, or wake the sigh
For those, who, wearied with its strife,
Have laid them calmly down to die
Mourn not the dead, but let the tear
Fall but for those who linger here.

FUNERAL RITES.

0 bury not the dead by day,
When the bright sun is in the sky,
But let the evenings mantle grey
Upon the Wondering ashes lie,
And spread around Its solemn tone,
Before We give the earth its own.
The gaudy glare of MONDAY light
Befits not well the hour of gloom,
When friend DER friend performs the rite
That parts them till the day of doom
On no-let twilight shadows come,
When heaven is still, and nature dumb.
Then, when the zephyrs in the leaves
Scarce breathe, amid their may round,
And every sigh that air receives
Is heard along her still Profound
Then, at nights dusky hour of birth,
Yield the lamented dead to earth.
Yield him to earth-and let the dew
Weep DER HIM its ambrosial tears,
And let the star come forth and view
The close of human hopes and fears
Their course goes on-he ne'er again
Shall tread the walks of living men.

mourning gowns and bonnets, or heard, in
termlngled with their signs and tears, pal
Try ana vain discussions about the adjust
ment OF mourning caps and ribbons,--who,
say, mas not felt that all this is inconven-
lent, lA-tlmed and unbecoming, beyond what
any force OF language can express.
but the greatest objection after all, to the
use OF mourning apparel is the expense.
mat me expense presses heavily upon the
poor Is matter very we'll known, and be-
lleve very generally regretted. But this is
not all; presses heavily upon the body of
the community. None but the opulent, in
fact, can afford it. There arc few families
IN the country, with whom the expenses of
mourning apparel does not form burden
some addition to the bills of the merchant.
Besides, this is the most expensive kind of
apparel, and there is always on these occa-
slon-from haste and the natural improvi-
dence of an afflicted mind, about worldly
things-there is great deal of extrava-
gance and waste. And more than all this
expense comes at time when or all times,
1t can be least easily borne. 1t comes in ad-
dltlon to all the expenses of sickness, the
paying OF attendants, and the charges of
the physician 1t comes, perhaps, at the
very moment. when the main support and
reliance of family is taken away. When
the husband, the father, the provider, is cut
off-when he has departed from the world
with no feeling of distress so deep, as that
he was to have destitute those who were
dearer to him than ife,-then it is, that the
desolate and deprived, undera false notion
of showing respect to him, are obliged, by
the customs of society, to abridge the al
ready marrow means on which they have to
rely. How many are the cases in which
considerable portion, and even the whole of
what remains for the widow and the father
less, is expended not in providing for their
wants, but IN merely arraying them for their
desolate cdndition.-Brook's Daily Monitor.

There isa degree of plain, homely, practical
good sense, as well as good feeling, in the an
nexed extract, that should recommend it to all
readers. The pomp of funeral obsaquies, not
less than the parade of grief implied by all the
various and nicely graduated habliments of
mourning, are alike reproved by prudence and
real sorrow. IT'S not what :" seems''-but that
within which passetn show" that can denote
truly" any sincere affliction. But custom is
deemed imperative; and to it is sacrificed eve
ry other consideration. There exists still, we
believe, in this city, an agreement, signed few
years ago by many-some among whom have
toe soon become themselves the tenants of the
grave-tending to abolish the use of scarfs, and
the handing round wine at funerals. 1t is only
by similar voluntary remuneration on the part
of those whose example may avail, that the
more costly, and too often quite as heartless
ceremony of wearing mourning can be restrain.

These remarks against mourning appar-
ell, are admitted with the sincerest Kindness
towards the afflicted. These trappings OF
grief seem Indifferent and childish where
there is real grief, and where there is not,
they are mockery. The principal obiec-
tions against the custom of wearing mourn
ing apparel, are, that it is useless, incon-
venient, and expensive.
For what use does it serve To remind
me that am in affection? [ do not wish
to be so pointed out. Shall the sable garb
he adopted, then, because it is grateful to
my feelings-because it is kind of solace
to me? can gain no consolation from it.
But if the custom is useless, its inconyen-
fence forms still greater objection. 1t is
inconvenient because it throws the care OF
purchasing and making clothes, upon fam
lily, at the very moment, when on every ac-
count tmost needs seclusion and ouietness
when, worn out with care and watching
and sorrow, it needs retirement and relief,

very short sighted, casting his eyes around
the table in search of a loa: of bread, hap

RATIONAL LOVE.

We all know the power Of beauty,
and to render 1t permanent, and make
human life more happy aud agreeable,
it must have the beauties Of the mind
annexed. For, as DR.. Blair very

fractions of the faire.t form, if nothing
pithm corresponds to the pleasing APP
pearincc acithou. Love and mour,age
arc two words much spoNen ol. out
seldom found united. 10 be happy
in the choice of the fair one we ad-
mirc, is to cultivate that regard we
experience for her, int o lasting esteem.
The connubal state was certainly de-
signed to hcighten the joys, and to al
Ieviate the mlscrIes oi mortality. 10
cherish and admire her, who came in
to your arms, the object of Joy and
pleasure and to comfort the same
dear object of your affection when the
clouds of adversely surround her.
Happy within yourself, and happy in
your connections, you ought to look
up to the Author of all good gifts, and
give him praise in the liveliest hour Of
social enjoyment" What avail all
the pleasures of this sublunary state,
if, when we shift the fattering scene,
the man is unhappy, where happiness
should begin, at home! An unInter
rupted interchange Of mutual cndcar-
ments, among those Of his family, i'm
parts more solid satisfaction, than out

Love is a tender and delicate plant;
it must be guarded from all uncongc-
nial blasts, or it will droop its head
and die. To enliven our hours, to
pass our life agrceably, let us enrich
our mental soil, for this, joined with
love, will for ever adorn this happy
state. Ayoung lady, being asked her
