AN I'Ek 'r,tUE TALG.

A few afternoons since in walking down
Appnlo street, our attention was arrested
by humble funeral procession passing
slowly up :he Lafayette Cemetery. 1t
was one carriage only, and its occupants
were d-crntly dressed man and woman
holding between them dIminutive white
nffin-that Of child about three years
old. Both looked pale and c,re-worn.

however with a stern expression about the
brow, eyes and mouth. that showed what
efforts lie was making to retain his compo-
sure. Two days after about the same
hour. We again saw the same sad process
sion--the same mourners--only those
two afflicted beings--and resting on their
laps a tiny coffin. evidently that of a
babe.
The woman this time had haggard
cxpression--a blank stare, a bewillered
look. She evidently saw nothing Of what
passed around her. She was in all likeli-
hooi unconscious Of even the extent Of
her own bereavement. The misery she
had undergone had over burthened her
mental faculties. they were strained al
most beyond endurance. She had no
tears to shed life was evidently indiffer.
ent to htr.
Th. man, on the other hand, appeared
to be over whelmed with grief. Gone
the firm compression Of the lips, the al
most fierce gaze Of the eyes. the FIX d
frown OF the brows. The father bent
down on Tie little white box that seemed
almost toy, so small wasit. His arms
were stretched over il, hi, face leaned on
it; it seemed a. il he was tryin. to grasp
and hold to his bosom; and iray from the
tomb, the cold form OF his babe. 1t was
doubtless, the dorling OF the house he
thus embraced; it was perhaps too,
the last OF two little ones Of the house.
