the spirit of man, and PROSTATE him IN the

the softer sex, aud such intrepidny and
elevation TO their character, that at times
it approaches subImily.
Nothing can be more touching, than 10
behold soft aud tender female, who had
been all weakness and dependence, and
alive TO every trivial roughness, while
treading the prosperous paths of life, sud

graceful foliage about the oak, and been
lifted by it into sunshine, will, when the
hardy plant is rIfted by the thunderbolt,
cling around with lis caressng tendriIS,

beautifully ordered by providence, that

GERMAN BURIAL.CUSTOMS.

The German ceremonial of interment
is complicated and minute. and all persons
of high birth are expected TO conform to i,
in every particular. Among the rites
which precede burial is one which, trying
as il cannot fail to prove to the princpa,
actor, must, nevertheless, greatly tend 10
tranqulize the minds of Tie SURVIVORS
1t is necessary that we should describe
this.
For four and twenty hours the corpse
remains under the roof where the death
has taken place, aud while there, oil the
affecting offices necessary to lis final buria!
are performed. This time elapsed, il Is
carried to the cemetery, and laid, ia lis
winding sheet, upon a bed in an lime!
apartment of the low stone buildng 10
which, in our description Of the death
valley Of Weinberg, we have already made
aIusion This solitary erection consists
only of two rooms. That in which.ihe
body is deposited is called the Hall OF Res
direction, and contaius 40 other furniture
than the bed iIsell aIid bell-rope, the end
ofwhich is placed ia the hand oflhe corpse.
This cord is attached 10 bell which
rings in the next room, and which is thence
called The Chamber of the Bell. Thus.
shEuld il occur that tie frienes of am ind-
vidual may have been deceived. and have
mistaken lelhargy for death, and that the
patient should awake during the nighi,
for the body must remain al night in
this gloomy refuge :! Tie slightest move

bell, and he obtains instant help. Il is
customary fcr the nearest relative 10 keep
this dreary watch; and from a BEAUTIFUL
sentiment, which must almost tend 10
reconcile the watcher to bis ghostly task,
he is fated TO watch there alone, that Il
may be he who calls back the ebbiug
life, and that nOne may share in a JOY 50
holy and so deep-a Joy, moreover, so
rare aud so unhoped for!
