GERMAN BURIAL CUSTOM.

The German ceremonial of interment is
complicated and minute, and all persons of
high birth are expected to conform to it in
every particular. Among the rites which
precede burial, is one which, trying as it
cannot fail to prove to the principal actor,
must, nevertheless, greatly tend to tranquil
ize the minds of the survivors 1t is neces-
sary that we should describe this. For four
and twenty hours, the corpse remains under
the roof where the death has taken place,
and while there, all the affecting offices nee
essary to its final burial are performed. This
time elapsed, it is carried to the cemetery
and laid, in its winding-sheet, upon bed in
the inner apartment of the lower stone bull
ding to which, in our description of the
death-valley of Neinburgh, we have already
made allusion. This solitary erection con-
ssts only of two rooms That in which the
body is deposited is called the Hall of Res
surrection, and contains no other furniture
than the bed itself, and a bell-rope, the end
of which is placed in the hand of the corpse.
The cord is attached to the bell which rings
! in the next room, and which is thence called
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1847-02-18
THE CHILD AT THE TOMB.
FROM THE JOURNAL OF TRAVELLER IN me EAST.
"a little child
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb
What should it know Of death ?"

AT Smyrna, the burial ground of the Ar
menian, like that of the Moslem, is removed
short distance from the town, is sprnkled
with green trees, and is favorite resort,
not only with the bereaved, but with those
whose feelings are not thus darkly overcast.
met there one morning little girl, with
hafplayful countenance, busy blue eye and
sunny locks, hearing in one hand small
cup of china, in the other wreath of flow
ers Feeling very natural curiosity to
know what she could do with these bright
things in place that seemed to partake so
much of sadness, ! watched her light mo-
tons. Reaching retired grave, covered
with plain marble slab, she emptied the
seed, which it appeared the cup contained,
into the slight cavities which had been
scooped out in the corner of the level tablet,
and laid the wreathes on its pure face,
"And why" inquired, "my sweet girl,
do you put seeds into those little bowls
there 7"
at is to bring the birds here" she re-
Piled, with half wondering look; " they
will light on this tree" pointing to the cy-
press above, "when they have eaten the seed,
and sing"
"To whom do they sing - | asked, SO
! you or to each other =
