IL is hard parting.


Refe,ii1u on The death of"LWle Ti0lot' m
|" Ricidrd Eiaey' 1T is in common language,
hard parting. However joyoGs or certain NAV
be immortality however undesirable in any
nstarce, may be the prolongation 5f this earthly
existence however certified we are of the
salvablc condition of our friends still, it is hard
parting. Not the immediate prospect Of hea-
ven, not the presence Of the angel of bliss, can
prevent the bitterness of emotion. We weep
from sympathy, and We weep from sorrow and
sympathy makes the sorrow OF many ONE
In a moment, as by an electric shock, all hearts
cOliesce.
1t is hard parting the cessation, the giving
over, the farewell, the last vieF, the absence
the Withdrawal ol the spirit, the burial Of the
body, the silcnce and the lOnesomcness.
1t is bard parting; the room is bereft, the
trees are stripped, the landscape is lonely.-
There is ceaslng to talk when the thought is
tul, a ceasing to enqnire and to communicate.

attachments.
l. is hard parting but it is not all parting ;
there is a remaining too. All does not GO
There are blessed memories and sweet relies
still in our hands, still sleeping on Our bosoms.
still sitting by the freside, still coming in at
the door, Beauty, holiness, love, are never
sick for them there is no funeral bell. That
face visits US in our revcries when we wish to
be all alone with it ar ascendcd face, it shines
on our dependency, and smiles on our love; it
peoples the solitude with a sacred invis bilitv ::
it introduces Us to the realm Of the departed,
to converse with spirits, % commune with
saints. The medium between Us and the dead
is purifying. one. 1t cIeanses the character:
there is no remembrance any more Of sin we
are rayished by virtues perhaps too late recog-
nlzed we adore where we once hardly toier-
atcd.

Thomas Iyt;leton make this observation II
seems to flow from a combination Of circum-
stances, each OF which is proluc.ivc of pleas

ness which a true spirit feels from dependence
and obligation. It atf,rds pleasure t. the cr.L-

O'CoNNELL AND THE REPORTERS. Anxious as he
to be reported in England, there occasions
when O'ConnelI preferred that what he said should
rot be printed there. Of this an amusing anecdete
has been given:
"O'Connell a visit to Ireland, and indul-
ged in long speeches of com5uStible charac-
ter" when the government thought to send
shorthand writers to take down his harrangues.
1.-THE first appearance of the government reporters
was at meeting at kantork. The gentlemen were
Engshmen, says the story, and belonging to Cur
hey's reporting staff. They the platform
and introduced themselves to Mr.. O'Codne. He
shook them by the hands. and said to those around
them, {" Nothing can be done here until these gen.
tlemen offorded every requisite accommodation.
This was at once provided, and having assured Mr.
O'Connell that they were ready, and well provided
for, he forward to address the people, and
menced his speech, the dsmay of the Englishmen,
in the Irish language. Having explained to the as
semby who they were and how he humbugged them,
he continued in the language TO address the
meeting every thing he wished to convey to them,
the people laughing all the while at the English
Porters, while they joined very good humoredy, in
the laugh raised against themselves.

WHY QuAKERs WEAR THEIR HATS. Quakers in
varaby wear their hats in places of public worship,
or IN public assemblies, but few aware how this
custom originated. Fox, the founder of colarIess
coats and broad brims, in the habit of attending
the Episcopal church. When the preacher uttered
sentiments of which he disapproved, he would SOL
EMMY put on his broad-brmmed hat, and take it off
again whenever a more welcome doctrine occurred.
If he sat long with his hat on and the illsou
propositions or illumination continued, he would rise
slowly, and silently walk out Thus, it appears,
that it was for the purpose of habtual protest that
the Quakers first learned to sit in places of worship
with their hats on.
