We take the following sketch from a
correspondence of the Stockton Journal
every person who has lived in the mines
will recognize its truthfulness:
Have you ever witnessed miners
funeral? There no mockery is made of
Grief. The few who stood by the side
Sf the diving man, and the few more who
NAV have heard of the departure of one
from their midst, to that "bourne from
whence no traveller returns," follow the
remains of their once co-laborer in this
land of gold, to his last resting place-a
Spreading oak, or waveing pine-perhaps
one OF the number reads from well
thumbed volume, the impressive burial
service of the Episcopal Church; more
frequently even than is omitted, and the
mortal remains of their fellow man are
'conitrii,ted in silence to the earth; and
Thoue the long formal prayer mere has been
... uttered there;
Though the robed Priest has not hallowed
the sod,
Yet would dare to ask any in sanity mask
"Where is the spot that's unmatched by
God"'
And such, no doubt, is the feeling that
prompts tie silent, fervent prayer for the
soul of the departed, from the hearts Of
those rough looking men gathered around
his grave; and who feel at that moment
solemnly impressed with the conviction,
arising from firm confidence in Almighty
goodness and justice, that death is only
the termination of an imperfect state of
being, whose purposes cannot be fully
carried out here, and that it is passage
10 better and brighter condition.
Oh! that this thought were so constant
ly with us that nothing should be able to
obscure it for mOment-it should be the
ground work of inward peace, and the
loftiest endeavOrs, and an inexhaustible
spring of comfort in afflctlon.
