s SHAKSP EARE'S GRAVE.
BY WASHINGTON IRVING.


"From the birthplace of Shakespeare a
few PAGES brought me to his grave. He
lies buried in the chancel Of the parish
church, large and venerable pile, moul-
dering with age, but richly ornamented
1t stands on the banks of the Avon, on an
endowed point, and separated by adjoin-
ing gardens from the suburbs Of the town.
Its situation is quiet and retired; the river
runs murmuring at the foot Of the church
yard, and the elms which grow upon its
banks droop their branches upon its clear
bosom. An avenue of lines, the boughs
of which are curiously interlaced, so as to
form in summer an arched way Of foliage,
leads up from the gate Of the yard to the
church-porch. The graves are overgrown
with grass; the grey tomb stones, some of
them nearly sunk into the earth, are half
covered with moss, which has likewise
tinted the reverend old building Small
birds have built their nests among the COR
nices and assures of the walls. and keep
up continual hutter and chirpng; and
rocks are sailing and cawing about its
lofty grey spire.
"We approached the church through
the avenue of lines, and entered by
gothic porch, highly ornamented, with
carved doors of massive. oak. The inte-
rior is spacious, and the architecture and
embellishments superior to those of most
country churches. There are several an
cent monuments Of nobility and gentry,
over some Of which hang escutcheons and
banners dropping piece-meal from the
walls. The tomb Of Shakespeare is in the
chancel. The place is solemn and sepul-
chral. Tall elms wave before the pointed
windows, and the Avon which runs at
short distance from the walls, keeps up a
low perpetual murmur. A flat stone
marks the spot where the bard is buried.
There are four lines inscribed on it, said
to be written by himself, and which have
in them something extremely awful. If
they are indeed his own. they show that
solcitude about the quiet grave, which
seems natural to fine sentiments and
thoughtful minds:-
Good friend, for Jesus sake, forbeare,
To dig the dust enclosed here,
Blest be he that spares these stones,
'And curst be he that moves my bones
"Just over the grave, in niche of the
wall, is bust of Shakespeare, put up short
ly after his death, and considered as re-
semblance. The aspect is pleasant and
serene, with finely arched forehead; and
| thought could read in it clear indica-
tions Of that cheerful, social disposition, by
which he was as much characterized a.
mong his contemporaries as by the vast
ness Of his genius. The inscription men
tions his age at the time of his decease-
fify-three years; an untimely death for
the world; for what fruit might not have
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1849-12-15
"The Learned Professions
A LESSON FOR YOUNG MEN.


The New York Sun contains the follow
ing excellent article, which we transfer to
our columns;
What mistaken estimate Of the nobili.
ty of profession that man makes. who
abandons the culture Of the soil for the
pursuit Of trade, or for any Of the '.learn-
ed professions" All honest toll is hon.
orable, and dignifed, just in proportion as
it answers the necessities and adds to hu.
man comfort and independence The
tiller Of the soil, therefore, ranks first--he
is king Of laborers-for the soil provides
for the first and greatest necessitics,-ood
and raiment. The farmer is more SUBJ
stantially king than he who sits on the
regal throne, and depends for his liveli-
hood on the filler Of the soil The first is
independent, he creates for himself; the
latter is dependent for all he cats, drinks,
or wears.
Next to the tiller of the soil in essential
nobility, are the mechanic and artizan-
those men whose brawny hands build
houses and ships, and furnish the endless
appliances of every day life. Who most
DiCSo iiLtllhlilh, llIC SllOCilthhcI WHO Keeps
our feet from the damp and cold; the man
who covers our heads or fashions our gar
ments, or he who. without creating for us
single comfort, calls himself king. and
consumes the sweat and blood Of a nation?
Does it need arguing to answer 50 simple
question! We can see at once that he
is most noble in his pursuit; who most re-
lievcs the necessities and advances the
comforts Of mankind. What on the broad
earth so imperial as the possessor of acres
from which his own toll can draw a supply
for every need. lie is not forced 10 do
homage to any being less than God, nor
to depend upon any chance for his liveli-
hood.
The young man who leaves the farm
field for the merchants desk, or the law
yer's or doctors office, thinking to dignity
or cnnoble his toll, makes a sad mistake.
He passes by that step from independence
to vassalage. He bartcrs natural for an
artificial profession, and he must be the
slave of the caprice Of customers, and the
chicane Of trade, either 10 support himself
Or TO acquire fortune. The more artificial
a mans pursuit, the fliore dehasing is it
morally and physically. To test it, con-
trast the merchants clerk and the plough
boy. The former may have the most ex-
ternal polish, but the latter under his
rough outside, possesses the truer stamina.
lie is the lreer. franker, happier, and no.
bier man Would young men might
Judge of the dignity OF labor more by its
usefulness and manliness, than by the su-
perlicial CLOSES it wears. Therefore, we
never see a man snobility in his kid gloves,
nor in his toilet adornments, but rather in
that sinewy arm, whose outlines Drowned
by the sun, betoken hardy and honest
toiler, under whose farmers or mechanics
vest, kinglier heart may beat
