Such are the particulars which I gath.

scanty, and am conscious have but lit
tie novelty to recommend them. In the
present rage also for strange incident
and high-seasoned narrative, they may
appear trite and Insignificant, but
they interested me SO strongly at the
time; and, taken in connexion with the
affecting ceremony which had just Wit
messed, left a deeper impression on my
mind than many circumstances of more
striking nature. I have passed through
the place since, and visited the church
again from o better motive than mere
curiosity. 1t was wintry evening, the
trees were stripped of their foliage;;- the
church yard looked naked and nournful,
and the wind rustled coldly through the
dry grass. Evergreens, however, had
been planted about the grave of the vii
lage favorite, and osiers were bent over
it to keep the turf unipjured. The
church door was open, and 1 stepped in.
There hung the chaplet of flowers aud
gloves, as on the day of the funeral !;
the flowers were withered, it is true,
but care seemed to have been taken thlt
no dust should soil their whiteness. l

has exhausted itr powers to awaken the
sympathy of the spectator but have
met with none that spoke more touch

delicate memento of departed inno-

THE PRIDE OF THE VILLAGE
BY WASHINGTON IRVING.

In-th course of an. excursion through
one of the remote counties of England,
had struck into one of those crossroads
that lead through the more secluded
parts of the country, and stopped one
afternoon at a village, the situation of
which was beautifully rural and retired
There was an air q primitive simplicity
about its inhabitants, not to be found in
the villages which lie on the great coach
roads, 1 determined to pass the night
there, and having taken an early dinner,
strolled out to enjoy the neighboring
scenery.
My ramble, as is usually the case with
travellers, soon led me to a church, which
stood at a little distance from the vii
lage. Indeed, it was an object of some
curiosity, its old tower being completely
overrun with ivy, SO that only here and
there jutting buttress, an angle of
gray wall, or Enthusiastically carved erna-
meat, peered through the verdant cover
ing. 1t was a lovely evening The
early part of the day had besn dark and
showery, but in the afternoon it had
cleared up; and though sullen clouds
still hung overhead, yet there was a
broad tyaet of golden sky in the west,
from which the setting sun cleaned
through the dripping leaves, and lit up
all nature into a melancholy smile. 1t
seemed like the parting hour of good
christian, smiling on the sins and sor-
rows of the world, giving, in the sereni-
ty of his decline, an assurance that he
will rise again in glory.
I had seated myself on half sunkeu
tombstone, and was musing, as one is
apt to do at this sober. thoughted hour,
on past scenes, and early friends-on
those who were distant, and those who
were dead aud indulging in that kind
of melancholy fancyipg, which has in it
something sweeter even than pleasure
Every now and then, the stroke of a
bell from the .neighboring tower fell on
my ear; its tones were in unison with
the scene, and, instead of jarring, Chin
ed in with my feelingsi and it was some
time before I recollected, that it must
be tolliDg the knell of some new tenant
of the tomb.
Presently saw funeral train NOV
ing across the village green; it wound
slowly along lane was lost, and re-
appeared through the breaks of the
hedges, until it passed the place where
was sitting. The pail was supported
by young girls, dressed in whites anoth-
er, about the age of seventeen, walked
before bearinga cbaplet of white flowers;
token that the deceased was young
and unmarried female. The corpse was
followed by the parents. They were a
venerable couple, of the better order oi
peasantry, The father seemed to re.
press his feeling but his fixed eye,
contracted brow, and deeply-furrowed
face, showed the struggle that was pass
| ing within His wife hung on his arm
and Wept aloud with the convulsive
bursts of mothers sorrow.
I followed the funeral into the church
