The extraordinary manner in which this GRIM
inal had been convicted for child stealing-the
youth and ignorance of the poor creature-and
the fact that through her confessions the lost
infant was traced and restored to its family,
aied a supposition that her case would be con-
sdered with indulgence.
Whether, however. from the dubious light
in which the morals of this family were viewed
or the fear of such crimes recurrence, or the
impossiblliiy of treating it with greater lenity
the daughter ofUShane was sentenced t.
transportation for seven years.
On the day of this. decision the rest of tn
family removed from the country, and it has ne
. yer been known what become of them.

A CIRcAss1AN FUNERAL-W here, as in
this case, the body is not forthcoming, cush-
ion is placed on the mat at the side OF the room
upon and around it are the clothes of the de- |
ceased, and, on the wall Immediately above, |
are suspended his arms. The room is filed
with the females, and the female relatives and
friends of the family, seated; and, at the door
stands the widow erect. At each side of the
cushion see seated the daughters or some
Young female relatives. On the green before
the door the men assemble. One of them ap-
proaches the door, uttering wailing cry,
which is responded to by the females inside,
who rise while he enters softly with his hands
over his eyes, aud kneels before the cushion,
placing his forehead upon it. The young girls
on each side assist him to rise, and he retres.
The rest follow, one by one, until the whole
have performed this ceremony; but the old
men generally, instead of utterIng the lament,
speak some short sentence of consolation or
endurance, such as, at is the will ofGod."-
This larger assembage of men and women
lasts for three days; but the females ofthe
; family and its immediate relatives must be IN
attendance to receive mourners IN this manner
for fortnight; and the clothes and other rel
les of the deceased remain as described unit
the greater funeral repast, which is given eIthe
six months after, or on the anniversary of tht
death. The very poorest never omit this en-
ltertainment; but the rich give other repasts a
intervals of a week, fortnight, and forty day
after the death. Ii the clothes of the decease
were not good at his death, new are nlade,an
the relatives contribute different arIic es, sue
as shoes, laggings, leather drinking cups, f'
e. travelling, &C. which are laid with the rest
the things on the mat, and are subsequent
distributed to The priest ofthe neighborhoo
and those who assisted IN The ceremonies
The family can retain nothing except the arr
which the deceased bore and the horse hero
which. out of respect to his memory, Is Ike
six months in the stable and well led duril
that time. When one has died natural dea
at home, his body is Immediately washed, e
veloped in new white cotton or linen cloth,a
buried within three or four hours, the imme
- ate neighbors assisting in the first portion
us' the lamentation. 1.-The was killed in the bat
THAT is bonafide battle, nor mere eXcurs
for booty for decided line of distinction
drawn,I he is inferred in the clothes he v
killed in and without washing 1t being sup
sed that in this state he will be at once rect
:, ed into Paradise, as having Ialen in defenc
{ his country but if he survives his wo
some DAYS, he is presumed to have sin
oOe' (perhaps in regretting his wound, or eXpr
ing Impotence under it) and must, there
be washed and dressed for bis immortal j
new. The same ceremonies are performe,
the death OF women and children, but the
semblapes are much less numerous.

BURIAL OF NAPOLEON IN PARIS.

Room for the Emperor, as of yore,
Place for the ransomed brave!
Upon the winds of France, once more,
His glorious banners wave!
And thousands, thronging thousands come, |
To bid their warrior welcome home;
Sad welcome, be 1t said
Lies pageants have no charm to break
His everlasting rest, and wake
Napoleon from the dead.
Long years of weary exile past,
Unconsciously he rests, al last,
Upon the soil of France
Oh! how the wave of time rolls back,
And shows, as IN the shining track.
His triumphs at glance!
From where his conquering sword he wIeids,
In Italy's "fair foughteH fields"
To the dark deeds of blood and toll,
Wrought in the ancient land of Nile
Wagram and AusterGtz are there,
And every field of conquest where
The .1alic eagle flew.
The scene has changed-ln 'grim repose"
Sits Russia, midst her trackless SHOWS;
And there-that should have been the close
Is bloody Waterloo!
What more? The last sad hour Of all
Dominion from his grasp must fall
| And he, whose energy OF will
Is all unconquerable still,
mo Dream of pow'r left to beguile,
The wretched remnant of a life,
| Whose very element was strlfe,)
Dies on distant isle.
He comes once moreno fiery steed
| Daa-c ,,, tho Monarch uOU-
The crown he won, his valor's need.
II Is on the Bourbon's Brow.
But little recks he who holds away,
s Who state or scepter bears to-day
He comes not now to crave,
: From his own France, or power or prldei
i Other domiuions far and wide,
: All that he asks-a grave!
And there, as if to greet him, stand
4 In motionless array,
re A pale and silent warrior band,
oe OfFrance's earlier day
tn Sword, scepter, diadem, are gene
They live but in the sculptured stone'
ne ana IN the minds Of men
at And with The dead Of old shall he'
&c Fulfilling his high destiny,
tn Our spirits rule again.
Second to none, he well may claim
e. The laurel wreath, the page OF tame'
9se Bold hand and heart have won,
nix For that imperishable name,
NAPOLEON!
