A Stramger's Funeral.

There is certain llstlesS, lazy KIND OF
feeling which summers day creates,
when the mind Scoops anxious to loreet the
common occupations of the day, and to
seek among the solitudes Of the country
transient seclusion from its ordinary cares:
to elude the pressure Of accumulated EN-
barrassments, and to steal away into the
silence and obscurity of some distant land
|scape. where the busy foot of man is yet
a stranger, and the march offalse improve
ment has not ravished nature of her wild
and sylvan beauties. 1t is in such feel
ing that love to wander in the dark and
deep recesses of the forest, when it is
waving with the last breeze of summer,
and before the hand Of autumn has destroy
cd its native but UNMARRIED colors. The
heart is then alive to gratitude and devo-
ton; it can look around and find in every
thing the same benefcent profusion which
is visible in the field, and while it is yet
warm with the impulses of love and plea
sure, it can thank the giver for his noble
lgift.
was lately wandering in one of the
eastern counties of Pennsylvania, among
that wild and rugged scenery which meets
the eve of the traveller toward the head
waters of the Delaware, and musing on
the grandeur of the prospect around me,
my ear was saluted by the distant tolling
of bell. / looked on every side, but
could only see at distance among tuft
of chestnut trees, the simple spire Of a vii
lage church. The most profound silence
reigued over all the landscape, except
when it was interrupted by the deep and
repeated tolling of the bell, that seemed to
call some poor being to his long and lone
Iy home. The melancholy sound as it
e-echoed along the highlands of the river
gradually died away; and again and again
repeated, it went home to my very heart.
AS turned to see if could discover no
one who might lead me to the scene of
mourning, perceived at distance on the
summit Of a rising ground, funeral pro-
cession moving with a slow and solemn
step. The circumstance had an air of
melancholy romance about it, which my
musing mood rendered doubly interesting.
The sun was sinking behind the tall tree
tops and the sky was unchequered by a
cloud. Every thing around seemed to
partake of the solemnity of the scene. The
birds had sung their evening anthem and
retired to their nests; the cattle were slow
| ly vending homeward, and the ploughman
had begun to quit his furrow as reached
the road and followed in the rear of the
procession. was struck with the deep
grief which was seated on every counte-
nance. There was no external show OF
pompous mourning, no stately hearse
whose sable trappings spoke the grandeur
of dignifed woe; simple bier and simple
coffin supported by four hale and noble
looking rustics, were followed by train
of villagers in deep mourning. The whole
appearance of the procession was that Of
sorrow; and though there were none whose
superior affection might have induced me
to suppose that they were relatives, yet
the mute and inward grief which seemed

From HE ~ E. w. Repie,c,
THE MOURNING LOVER.

There was noble form which oft | mark'd
As the strong bossoming Of boyhood's charms
Ripen'd to manly beauty. Nature babe
His eloquent lip, and fervid, halle eye
Win woman's trusting heart But not con-
tent,
Because Ambitions fever wrought within,
He went to battle, and the crimson sod
Told where his lfe-blood gush'd. The maid
who kept
In her young breast the secret ofhis love.
: NJ ln ali LIS stores Uf hoarded sympathiess
And imagery ofhope, think ye she gave
When few years their tardy round had run,
Her love again to mani mo. No. She twin'd
Its riven tendrls round q surer prop,
Rearing its blighted blossoms towards that sky
which hath no cloud. Devotion shed its palm
And Charity's sweet duties lured her soul
From gaty and song. Pleasure for her
Had lost its essence, and the viol's voice
Gave but sorrowing sound. Her CHERISHED
flowers
Brea,h'd Too distinctly of the form that beat
With hers to watch their budding 'Md their
The sembiance Of a cold, dead hand would
rise,
Until she babe them droop snd pass away
Like him she mourn'd. And now with widow'd
heart
She parted out her piltance to the poor.
Sat by the bed Of Sickness Sought to dry
The iriendless weeper's tears,-like the meek
bride
of merclfuI, tireless Heaven. Each night it
seem'd
When from pure prayer to her lone couch she
turn'd
Asst an Angel folded his white wing
Around her breast, inspiring strength to keep
A saints endurance.
Other spirits grief
She spake not. But as the fair flush of health
Receded from her cheek,-the patient eye
Gather'd new ustnre,--and the firm, broad wing
of that supporting seraph spread TO grid
Closer her fiinting bosom, in dreams
A WHISPERED tone, like his who sumber'd
deep
Amid his country's dead, told of the cline
Where VOWS are never sunder'd.
One mild eve
while on the foreheads Of the sleeping flowers
The gentle spring.dews hung their diamond
wreaths,
She from her caslset drew a raven curl
Which once had clustering deck'd his glorious
brow,
And laid it on her bible, and knelt down
To pour the burden of stricken heart
AT her Redeemer's feet.--Grey morning came,
And still her white cheek on that holy page,
Did calmly rest. Hers was that quiet sleep
Which hath no Weakening here. Fled from her
brow
Was Sorrows Christening trace. and in its stead
Methought the Angel who so long had been
Her comforter had fondly there imprest
That smile which only in Heavens court doth
beam.

Origin Of Dean SsoIl's meditations on
q broom stick.-An anecdote respecting
the ssmemoirs of Tom JONES'" in several
of the late New York papers, reminds me
of the following:-EsSwift was in the habit
of going to see lady Berkeley, his patrons
consort. She was a great admirer of
"Boyle's Pious Meditations," and used off
ten to request the Dean to read aloud some
portion Of them. Such occupation, how
ever, was too little congenial with the
Deans humour, and soon he resolved to
revenge himself on Boyle for the irksome
task this imposed upon him. In short he
wrote parody upon him, which he got
printed, and entitled calculations upon
a Broomstick." This he sewed into the
copy of Boyle from which her ladyship
was accustomed to read. 1t was exactly
the same paper, type, and so ingeniously
inserted that no one was likely to conjec-
ture the deceit.-So, the next time, he o.
pened book at the calculations upon a
Broomstick," which, with very grave
countenance he read aloud!
Lady-No TESTING if you please, MIR.
Dean, upon so grave a subject.
SWitt-Jesting WOW, my Lady, l read
it as find it here; it is calculations, upon
a Broomstick.'
Lady-so it is; upon my word it is
Cancellations upon Broomstick." What
a singular subject! But let us see; Boyle
is so full of ideas that 1 am persuaded he
will make it extremely edifying though it
looks so odd.
With great gravity Swift proceeded to
read very original comparison between
b.
the destiny of mankind with that of the
broomstick: s'This stick Che continued in
solemn tone) this stick that you see
thrown ANONYMOUSLY into corner, was
once fo1rishing in the woods" &c. s'Oh,
excellent Boyle! Exclaimed her ladyship)
how admirably he has drawn the moral

] knew girl, a young and lovely girl,
She was poets thought Of beatty, none
Gould even look upon the floating Of her curl,
Without their thoughts and feelings being
won
To cling around her as around their shrine,
She was so beautiful that she did seem
To be vision, or the spell of some bright
dreaui
Or like spirit from some sphere-divine. sa..' VI
Breathing on earth love, joy and innocence;
And there was such mdurnful eloqHence
In her soft voice, that when listened TO
ITS sad and deep toned music, II Ger drew
From my young heart its lov'd and hottest tears;
1t seemed the music ofdeparted years.
Or it was like the mnrmurngs of a soul,
That. finding no sweet fellowship on earth,
Far from the circle gifts love and birth,
Was struggling with the power that did control
Its desiiny,-and ever sorrowing for the fate,
That chained It to sphere where 1t was des.
olatel
She was the idol Of all hearts, the spell
OF every thought and every dream; but why
She was, each one would ask aud none could
tell
But have seen across the brightest sky
A dark cloud pass; and such was her sad doom
Fer flowers are springing now around her tomb
She withered in the budding Of her heart,
When her affections were about to cling
Around this earth; when hopes imagining
With its loved witchery and magic art,
Had won her thoughts to dream Of future
years;
Twas then. consumption came, and gently
led
Her youthful spirit from this world Of tears,
Into the world where tears are never shedi
And thus how oft is beauty in its bloom,
A cypress wreath to hang upon the tomb
For death will ever pluck the fairest flower,

| When that voice, whose simplest word
Thrills thy fond hearts inmost chord,
Tempts thee with prayer TO stay
Rise and fling that hand away!
"Man doth fear the coiled snake
Ciitt'fing in the leafy brakel
Yet in woman's serpent eyes,
More of death and danger hesj
More of poison and disgrace
In the coil other embrace.
Master dear! the choice is thine,
Rise, and burst the serpent Irvine.

Is breathed with scorn, and heard with sham,
Rise. already in the fight
They have missed thee, laggard knight"
Valnly loud the Minstrel sang
Vainly loud his wild harp rang
Rosy lips were whispering near
Which almost touched the list'ner's ear,
And the battle day was past,
When she knight awoke at last.
Where's the voice shall cheer him now
Or bid him raise his humbled brow,
While the past doth only seem
Like wild and fcvered dreaml
Hath he given hisall on earth
But TO share q waninn's mirthl
Hath he battered honor, fame,
For hope without a namel
From the topmost battlement
His eagle glance is downward sent,
Where his fellow warriors come,
Marching gladly to their home,
While their pennons all unfurled
BY the welcome breeze are curled
The fosse is deep--the wall is high
He gazes, and resolves to die!
To the hill and to the dell
He hath groaned last farewell;

But DER that Of recreant knight

To all, with feeble voice and low.

When the foeman's hand prevailed
Thou whose foot, though fleet it be.

lHuescrludoles = was tne spontaneous OF
fering Of rural feeling to the memory Of
an unfortunate stranger. There is
something in this unbought tribute of res
pect and sorrow for the destitute situation
of such wanderer, as calls forth the
warmest feelings of the heart. 1t is the
last solemn act which one fssend can per-
form for another; it is the scene where all
our animosities cease for ever. They are
buried with their object in one common
grave, and the same turf that covers the
one from every thing terrestrial, remains
cold and formidable barrier between the
foe and friend. At the sacred precincts
of the tomb every difference is adjusted,
every injury forgotten. We dwell upon
the memory of the departed with regret,
and whether he be an enemy or friend,
his failings at least are remembered no
more. But when the object upon whom
we have just closed the portals of this
world, is one whom friendship or affec-
ton has united to us, the mind seems UNI
able to believe the change. A pang is
wrung from the heart already tender by
affection, which succeeding years, though
they may blunt the keenness of the sor-
row never can remove.
As we walked along together neara cot
tage surrounded by tuft Of foliage that
was almost impenetrable to the eye, we
heard the voices of two females aging in
concert. The situation was romantic and
delightful, and the moon which had lust
then began to pour forth her silver beams
in all their splendour permitted us to see
at short distance two females in bow
er overshadowed by the wild rose and no.
neysuckle, and while we leaned against
friendly railing they sung the following
song.
The rose that has faded
Will be blooming no more,
Yet the wreath where tits BRAIDED
SHALT perfume restore.
oh soft be. thy pillow,
Thou lover of the vale.
Unframed by the billow,
Unblowu by the gale.
The earth that's fresh DER thee
Shall be green through the year,
And since all must depiore thee,
It shall bloom from the tear
if r.; 'i lily 5fusbpcts rsisss .tiow6
Thou naad ofthe fountain,
Like its waves thou hast gone.
Tho the wave from the ocean
May return with the tide,
Like the spirit of devotion,
To the meek and the tried.
Yet thy journey is ended,
And brea,h'd are thy signs,
And by angels attended,
Thou'ri at rest in the skies
AS the voice was hushed the stiffness of
nature was complete. We waited some
time in expectation Of the song being re.
peated, but in vain, and accordingly con-
tinued our. walk. In the course Of our
journey l collected from the old man the
principal circumstances in the history of
the deceased, and when we parted for the
evening at the cottage of the sexton, it was
with the promise that he would call upon
me and complete his narrative. This he
faithfully performed, and if in any of my
future rambles should be in the neigh
borhood, | shall consider it duty to call
and see my old acquaintance.
