The Grave and the Mourner.

- e>SSs
In the church-yard Of, a quiet village of,
the Yves: mourner sat beside q new made
grave.
The mourner was but . boy; yet as he
knelt beside tho mound that cloeed over
tue remains of some mortal whose sosl
had departed to q better world, he seemed
like the spirit weeping o'er the tomb of its
hopes. -.-
The mourner was young, and hfs
smooth brow was clustered by glossy
ringlets Of bright, golden hued hair, that
curled in many a curious device about
it,
But few Summers had felt his foot
steps upon their green carpets. yet he
seemed old as he silently bent In lonely
meditation over that spot dearer to hin
perhaps, than all earth beside. The hopes
the wild dream of his boyish mind, that the
young revel in the future, and forget the
present, seemed to have flown, and given
place to sadness. lsr -rsgestcc u !
| Let US approach him nearer--nearer--.
perhaps we can catch the murmurs of his
inward thoughts. There may be world
of woe in their utterance. Closer-we
cannot hear yet. Now we can hear him.
See, he bends his curly head closer to the
ground. He is tearing the earth up With
frantic gestures. Softly, softly, or he,
will hear our tread. We will speak to
him. E sd.
"Boy. why so sad? What are you do
ing? Whose grave is that3" aaE =
With countenance upon which unut-
terable woe had stamped its traces, no
looked up to us and murmured forth:
