distinguished American sculptor, situate ut

We found him busily engagaed mould

an admirable counterpart of the original.
1t certainly gives promise Of superior ar
tistic triumph.
Another new creation by the artist, enti-

THE BURIAL PLACE.-What n multitude
Of thoughts crowded upon the mind in the
contemplation Of such scene! How
much OF the future, even in its far distant
reaches, rises before us with all its persuasive
realities! Take but one little narrow space
Of time, and how affecting are its associa-
tions! Within the flight of onc-half CEN
tury, how many Of the great, the good, and
the wise, will be gathered herc How
many, in the loveliness OF infancy, the beau-
ty Of youth, the vigor Of manhood, and tho
maturity ofagc. will lie down here, and
dwell in the bosom Of their m other earth .
The rich and the poor, the gay and the
wrctcled, the favorites Of thousands, and
forsaken Of the world; the stranger in his
solitary grave, and the patriarch, surround
ed by the kindred of a long lineage!---
How many will here bury their brightest
hopes or blasted expectations! How many
bitter tears will here be shed! How many
agonizing sighs will here be heaved! How
many trembling feet will cross the pathways,
and, returning, leave behind them tho dear
est objects of their reverence or love.

feelings warning in his bosom, he answer
cd
1T is evidently useless attempting to rea

| She extended her hand with calm, sad
farewell, and thus they parted.
As soon as the cabriolet drove from tue
door, Miss Grandby rang for the butler, All
old and attached servant.
"Christopher," she said, II wish to leave
England immediately-to night if possible
can you arrange it for me?"
Christopher bowed assent.
Il shall leave all my pensioners in your
care, and thereis young womau-whose
address I will give you-who will be re-
ceived by my housckeeper in the country
as soon as she is ready for the journey.
Christopher withdrew to make the hur-
ricd preparations for his young lady's de-
parture, and she sought the chamber Of her
aunt.
Mrs. Manners was seated with her hands
resting on herSopen Bible; she glanced
anxiousIy at Isabclla's perlurbed face. That
kind look destroyed the remains Of her fort-
tude, and sinking at the feet of her aunt,
Miss Grandby gave way to a convulsive
burst Of tears. Mrs. Manners was too sensi-
ble to check them, but her tender endear-
ments at length restored the weeping girl
to composnre.
"My kind aunt" she whispered, Il must
leave here directly l fear myown weakness !;
YOU will 20 with me, vii! YOU not!"
"Are You sure" asked Mrs. Manners,
that you are not acting too hastily that
you will not repent this step?"
ssQute sure," replied Isabella; Il cannot
tell you more than that Sir Philip and are
parted forever"
Fresh tears accompanied the words, and
Mrs. Manners wisely sought to know no
more. In few hours Isabella was on her
way to the continent, where her Weltsorder-
ed mind soon regained its usual serenity;
and thus, after few vain efforts to discover
this retreat of the heiress, ended the hopes
Of Sir Philip Deverill.
