VERY AwKwARD.-Some of our readers may
remember the curious account of man, who
died suddenly in this city q while since, over
whose face, as his body was exposed at the
grave, sudden shade and light passed strange
ly, that the friends removed it back to the house,
and kept up frictions all night trying to restore
it to life. We learn since that some of the anx-
ious friends of the deceased visited New York
at the time and tried to induce the physician
who attended the dead man in his last illness
to go up and try his skill towards his restora-
ton. DR.. S. listened awhile incredulously, but
at last seemed to believe the story of his infor-
mant. But" said he, II hope that you won't
be able to restore hinl--I really hope you won't.
"Why?" asked his visitor, in amazement "Well"
said the doctor, ~ don't see how he would be
able to get along would be very awkward

MUSIC OF EARTH.

There is music, merry music,
Ringing through the forest wild,
Gushing free and full Of gladness,
IT'S the laughter Of child
Where the velvet moss is greenest,
Where the blue-eyed violets bloom,
Where the soft spring air is laden
With a wreath Of rich perfume,
He is sporting in the sunshine
With his young heart full Of glee,.
And his merry laugh is ringing,
Ringing ever joyously
There is music, happy music,
Echoed softly through the grove.
Breathing gently Of Affection
IT'S a maiden's song Of love
Blushing rose and weeping lilly
lend their beauty to her bower,
But, with mingled tears and bushes.
She is still the fairest flower
She is dreaming Of the absent,
OF his parting kiss and smile.
And her happy song Is gushing,
Gushing gladly all the while
There is music, solemn music,
Stealing through the church aisles dim,
Sweeping high in lofty echoes
IT'S the sacred bridal hymn
Round the altar they are gathered,
Where the bridegroom and the bride
Breath their earnest VOWS in whispers,
LOwly kneelng side by side,
Oh, the air Is pure and holy,
And along the church aisles dim,
Softly stealing, richly rolling,
Peals the sacred bridal hymn
There is music, mournful music,
Wailing DER the turfYs low bed.
Sounds of deep, heart-rending anguish
IT'S the requiem for the dead
Meath the shadow Of the cypress,
Where the dropping hyacfnths weep,
They have laid the loved and lovely
In an early grave 10 sleep
There are signs Of crushing sorrow,
Bitter tears are vainly shed,
Mournful voices still are wailing,
Wildly wailing DER the dead
