The WAY OF THE WoRLD.-"He's dead!" How
frequently is that brief but admontory sentence ut
tered without exciting but the most transient emo
tion-wthout awakening a deeper or more perma-
nent reflection than the next mind Two friends
shall casually meet after Temporary separation and
inquire after third and mutual friend Hes dead ~
is the melancholy and impressive rejoinder. If men
of business, perhaps he also was one who entered
largely into their speculaons-all the projects for
the advancement of their fortunes-all their worldly
minded scheres of aggrandizement-yet he's dead ~
The intelligence is received with exclamation of
SURPRISE significant shake of the head-a sensa-
ton nearly allied TO pity and regret; but it is not
heard ''as if an angel spoke;' and time passes,
they hurry of without further comment to their
spective counting where the unexpected in
formation of the rise in sugars-he depression of the
money market-the failure of some great house in
which they had placed implicit confidence, or some
equally vital and important affair, demands their i'm
mediate enthusiastically absorbs their minds, and
they entirely forget that they have just heard echo
of their own inevitable doom.
Locality has strong power, whatever may be argued
to the contrary in recalling impressions, and every
wounded heart may tell how insupporable the scene
becomes where it has been blessed, and where it is
blessed no more. The abstract of pain pleasure is
within us in all places, at all times but its portrait
ure its vivid reflection lies pictured in the places and
in objects where our feelings have been stretched
the rack, whether of pleasure or OF pain.
