The Dead.

How multitudinous are The dead
How populous the silen. cities where
they dwell Close, bu, peaceful they
rest, under shafts and spires Of marble, or
perchanse withoui even rudest memorial
10 ,he activities they once bore, the pomps
they once displayed. Two hundred times
more than all the generation Of The living,
encamped out there in church.yard, ceme-
terry, and BY The wsy-side. Myriad mll-
! lions, obeisanl to the awful shade. the
grim spectre who rides the pale horse.
Ceaceless migration from the halls OF
lile-lhe great. The proud, The rich, tho
poor, the bond, the free; brothers and SIS.
lers all, with one God for their common
father, one earth ior their sepulchre, ono
turf TO hide their dust. Wha, history.
what romance, what tragedy. what secrets
and mysteries are locked with ibem in the
grave.
And how soon, too, shall we all march
down lhi,her, where the wicked cease
Srom troubling, and the weary are al rest
down ihither vi here The sleep is dreamless,
until the great day when the trumpet shall
sound, bidding the nations Of The dead 10
arise Sacred, and green, and eyeimore
frsgran, with the breath Of flowers, and
musical with the sound Of gentlest foot
falls, and the songs Of birds, be The places
OF graves-the homes Of the dead. They
were all beloved their day-all fathers, or
mothers. or brothers, or sisters. or
friends-or if any were foes, their enmiiy
lives not in the tomb. Good or bad, as
ran the record Of their lives, 5e It ours 10
reverence their ddst-G0d will Judge
them God, who is tho searchcr Of hearts.
ard who is wiser, aud more mercIlul than
man.
Verify, il is not we'll for US TO DO
lhoughtless of the dead. Wha, they were,
concern us every hour. Their example
guides, their preceden, governs, their Wis
dom directs. their thoughts inspire, their
labor blesses, and their riches enrich US.
Benizon to the dead, and may The good
God so shape our lives, that when tho
time comrs we may lie down, obscure il
may be, but without fear and wiihou! re-

cud of disappointment, his wit busily en-
gagged in trying TO guess who had oe'ooi-
ed him, when boy entered in hot haste,
and put the following note into his
hand -
"'The editor Of The .adrerfiser has
heard of Mr.. Currie's trip 10 Ardgowan TO-
day and as il will make good joke for
,o-morrow's paper, he will feel obliged by
Mr.. Curie giving him the particulars"
The reading Of the note acted on the
hsirdresser like a galvanic shock. The
gowk's errand was bad enough, but TO be
made the laughing-slock of the whole
town was a thousand times worse. In
desperation he rushed TO the sanctum OF
the editor.
ain Gods name, Mr.. Mennons, you
surely don't intend 10 make fool OF mo
in earnest!"
A fool of you how :" cody asked the
editor.
"How Why, publishing in your pa

"My dear sir, never heard word OF
it till now"
"The devil you didn't! Did you not
send me note few minutes ago -

"Done again I" gasped the enrsged
barber as he rushed back TO his shop,
where he was greeted by two or three
wags Of neighbors, who had laid me
whole plot and the days proceedings al
forded much merriment at late sederunt
in the evening over a glass OF toddy'
which greatly mollifed the barber's cha
gin and we understand he had no rea-
son afterwards TO regre, being sent as q

roads of the European continent The Loire, nav

America to their places OF consumption, without
being subjected TO the usual detentions of dray-
