THE RELIGION OF EPITAPHs.

/ spent some time ia the church yard, spelling
out the names Of some Of The old inhabitants Of
our early days, and beholding with pleased sur
prise, from tho las usual) truthful e~yitaphs,
that many Of them were garnished and decorated
with virtues, Of which, while they lived, | had
not had the smallest suspicion; so artfully had
humility concealed their excellency.
Superstition no longer dei6es the dead, but affec-
tien angelizes them. For my part | think if |
were bedGubed and bedizened with one Of the
tawdry epitaphs l have sometimes seen in a coun-
try church.yard, it would be enough to make me
get up in the night. and scratch it out. There
was Uur old acquaintance, Farmer Veesey's fat
wife, who rosembled las some one said OF her
ike a 'fllet of veal upon casters, 'decked out in a
suit of virtues which might not have misbecome
n seraph. Several others of our old acquaintances
| found were such wives. mothers, neighbors,
friends: SO charitable, gentle, forgiving! Surely
the parson in their time must have had an easy
time Of it, az absolute sinecurc. with such q
flock
Iii is really odd to see go much wiokedness above
ground, and 50 much goodness under it. ALL 1t
they could but change places, what a pleasant
world it would be Or rather, perhaps, we
ought to say, Who can wonder that So much in
iquity is left among the living, when such cart
loads of all the cardinal and other virtues are
thus yearly shoveled into the earth by the under
taker /? Any way. however it is q pleasant thing
to find our old friends improved by keeping, and
looking better in their winding-sbeets than ever
they did in silks or satins.--7he Greyson Letters,

BABO0NS AT HOME.

A new work has just been published in Eng.
land, by Captain A. w. Drayson, of the Royal
Artillery, entitled 'Sporting Scenes Among the
kafi-s Of South Africa" We extract from q
review of it the following amusing description Of
an ape family:
81 watched them through my glass, and was
much amused at their grotesque and almost hu-
man movements. Some Of the old ladies had
their olive branches in their lips, and appeared 10
be doing there hair while q pa.riarchal looking
old fellow paced backwards and forwards with q
fussy sort Of look he was evidently on sentry,
and thought himself of no small Importance.
This estimate of his dignity did not appear to be
universally acknowledged, as two or three young
balloons sat close behind him watching his pro,
~ceedings sometimes, with the most grotesqne
movements and expressions, they would stand
directly in the path, and hobble away only at the
last moment. One daring youngster followed
close on the heels of the patriarch during the
whole length Of his beat. and gave a sharp tug at
his tail as he was about to turn. The old fellow
seemed to treat it with the greatest indifference
scarcely turning round at the insult. Master I'm
pudence was about repeating the performance,
when the pater, showing that he was not such a
fool as he looked, suddenly sprang round, and
catching the young one before he could escape,
gave him two or three such cuffs that l could hear
the screams that resulted therefrom. The venera.
bic gentleman then chueked the delinquent over
his shoulder and continued his promenade with
the greatest GOODNESS this old baboon evidently
was acquainted with the practical details Of Solo,
mons proverb. A crowd gathered round the
naughty child, who, childlike, seeing commisera-
ton shrieked all the louder. l even fancied |
could see the angry glances of ihe mamma, as she
took her dear little pet in her arms and removed il
from q repetition Of such brutal treatment"
