Dust, the emblem of tho deadi

Cleaning in les fallen beams;

Dancing gaily while he can.
Ere the tempest gathers strong,
Blows at times the warning gust
Ger the plain it sweeps along.

Come the long expected food
Falling deluge-like and stark;
Dust ia beaten down to mud.

In the place as the hovsl.

Blown by pleasure, fear and lust.
Beaten down to low despair;
Born Of dust to come to dust,

A FuNERAL SEEMoN. S.
arahsr eccentric character, was callet
upon to preach the funeral of q har,
cass named Ram, which be did, in tn,
following unique style:
My beloved brethren and sisters, i
our beloved Brother Ram would q vast.
ed somebody to come here and tell lies
about him. and mako him out a better
man than he was, he wouldn't have
chose me to preach bis funeral.
No, my brethren, he wanted TO bs
held up as burning and shining light,
to warn you from the error of your ways.
He kept horses, and he run d 'sm; he
kept chickens, and he fou't 'em. Our
dear departed brother had many warn
in's, brethren. The 6rst warnin' was
wheu be broke his leg, but he still vent
on in the srssr Of his ways The second
warnin' vas when his son Pete hung him

warrin' Of all was whon be died him.

Tho preacher enlarged on these topics,
until he sunk Ranu 80 low that his h ear
ers began to doubt whether he would
ever succeed 10 getting him up again,
and, a. is usual in funerals landing
him safe in Abraham's bosom. This
was the object Of the second part of the
sermon, which started off thus:
My brethren, thsre'll be great uera-
cles in heaven. And the first meracls
will bc, that many you expect to end
there you went find there. The people
that 60 round with long faces, maxim
long prayers, won't bs there; and the
second miracle will be, that many you
don't expect to End there--as perhaps
some won't expect to find our dear de-
parted brother Rann--ysu'll see there i
and the last and greatest neraols will
be, to 6nd yourselves there
