mortality. Anon from some lowly tenement
triled the low wall Of a mother for the child OF
her affections, while from the corner opposite
burst the song of some low bacchanal, mingling
rl6aldry with sentiment, or swearing q prayer
or two as the humor moved him.
The skies wore delusve aspect. Above
was all cloudess sunshine, but little in kee ping
with the black melancholy that enveloped all be-
low. Out along the highways that lead 10 the
cities Of the dead, and still the tramp Of funeral
crowds knew no cessation. Up rolled the vol
umes Of dust from the busy roads, and the
plumes OF the death carriages nodded in seem
ing sympathy to the swaying expresses Of the
swamp, enveoped in their dun apparelling Of
weeping moss-iit garniture for such a scene.
AT the gathering points carriages accumulated,
and vulgar Transfers, as they jostled each other
in the press, min9e led the coarse Jest with the
ribald oath no sound but OF profane malcdc-
ton and oil riotous mirth, tile cang of whip
thongs and the rattle Of wheels. Az the gates,
the winds brought iutimation OF the corruption
working within. Not puff but was laden with
The rank atmosphere from rotting corpses. In-
side they were piled by ffties, exposed to the
heat OF the sun, swollen with corruption, BURST
ing their coffin Ids, and sundcring, as if by ply
s.cu. C!crt, the iigamcnts that bound their hands
ana feet, anG extending their rigid limbs in eve
~ o.irc attitude.
VIVA, feast Of horrors Inside, corpses
piled in pyramids, and without the gates, old
and wilhored crones and fat huxter women,
IrelurG in their own grease, dispensing ice
creams and CONNECTIONS, and brushing away with
broOms made of bushes, the green bOttle-flies
that lowered on their merchandise, and that anon
buzzcd away TO drink dainty inhalatiOns from
the green and fostering corpses.
And thus, what with the songs and obscene
jests of the grave diggers, the buzzing of the
flies, the sing song cries Of the huckster women
vending their CONNECTIONS, the hoarse oaths Of
the men who drive the dead carts, the merry
whistle of the boys, and the sitting reek from
scores of blackened corpses, the day wears
apace, the work of scpuliure is done, and night
draws the curtain.-[N. o. Crescent.

DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN.

To verify the many horrible reports Of the
doings among the dead, we the other day visited
Ihe cemeteries. In every street were long pro-
Sessions, tramping to the solemn music of fu-
neral marches. In the cOuntenances of plod-
ding passengers were the lines of anxiety and
grief, and many door was festooned with
Black and white hangings, the vOiceless witness
es Of wailing and Of sorrow. On the enc hand
slowly swept the long cOrteges Of the wealthy,
nOdding with plumes and drawn by prancing
hOrses, rejoicing in their funeral vanities on
another the hearse of the citizsn-soldie prece-
ded by measured music, envelsped in wariike
psRoply, and followed by the noisy tread of men
under arms while there again the paupsr was
trundled TO his long home on ricketty cart,
with a boy for a driver, who whistled as he
went, and swore a careless oath as he urged his
mule or spawned horse to trOt, making haste
with another morsel contributed to the grand
banquet of death. Now among the steeples
was heard the Ginning of the bells, as of ghOuls
up there, mingling their hOarse voices as in q

THE INTRODUCTION OF
FILLEY'S STOW ES

L IL Ia IL L y y i v v II y
Into Northern Missouri, TO any extent, has been
in the last three years; since which time they
have been gradually increasing the manufacture
and sale of thom /; and although, owing to their
being light and smooth, and something new,
some little difficulty attended the sale and use
at FIRST, yet by always making Stoves and Cas-
tings Of the best quality Of Scotch Pig and Mis-
souri, Mountain Iron, they have proved TO
withstand fire better than any other Casting
made in the western country. The furnace
castings and hollow-ware particularly, have
been superseded by it, wherever II has been
brought into use, and always given satisfaction.
Having lived here number Of years, and be-
ing permanently located here, purchasers can
RELY on our guarantee as TO the quality Of the
article sold by US and as to the operation OF
our celebrated Prize-Premium Cook Stove, Just
read the certificates Of those who have used
them, and are using them now. And another
advantage purchaser will have in buying
st. Louis stove Of us, he would not only 90
getting a stove made Of the best material in the
world, but he can at any time get an odd piece
or plate without any charge, by letting us know
that such is wanted, as all our stoves are war
rented, and, in case Of imperfection, the article
will be promptly made good to the purchaser,
which he will not find the case with Cincinnati,
Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Eastern made Stoves,
as YOU cannot get any odd Pieces. Even if
they were warranted, it would be impossible TO
get odd plates from such distance.
We, the undersigned, having used the St.
Louis Stoves manufactured by q. F. Filley, Of
St. Louis, and sold by CARTER W. BRYAN,
at Hannibal, No., take pleasure in recommend
ing them to the public as superior in point of
draft durability, economy, convenience and
case of regulation, to any stove which we have
