The Romance of a Mummy.

One Of the latest literary novelties

Frenchman, with an Egyptian num-
my for its heroine The author, in
his prologue, ingeniously describes
the opening Of an Egyptian Mausol>
cum which had mover before been de-
secratcd by modern curiosity, and the
discovery therein of a female mummy
which had moved on earth three
thousand years ago as lady of great
rank. This precious discovery was
made by young English peer and a
German Savar, the latter a second
Champollion, they having purchased
the privilege of search from a Greek
seller ef curiosities for the moderate
sum of a thousand pounds. The
mummy was conveyed to the cabin of
the English Lords boat, and there
unrolled, the linen wrappers taken off
with loving carefulness one after one,
until the shrivelled parchment beauty
lay before them in unblushing nudity.

The Past.


The wisdom, the wealth, the deco
ration and grandeur of life, are the
inherited capital of past generations.
As the natural blood of our forefathers
circulates through our bodily frames,
so the moral and intellectual blood of
the ancient world has passed into our
spiritual veins. The collective life of
Humanity is the true religious idea.
Developing itselfin accordance with
invaria5ile laws, transmitting the SCI
ence, the poetry, the material and
moral amelioration of previous ages,
Humanity appears, infinite and unde-
caying, as one continuous and
ubiquitous existence, embracing all
times and all places, and uniting all
men in one divine and universal broth
erhood. Fighting for us in the Past,
working for us in the Present, and
preparing US for the Future, it march
es onward to its preappointed goal
Humanity thus includes all the hero
ic and holy spirits, all the wise and
creative minds, that have ever lived,
or ever will live. Nor is it pure
ly subjective idea, for We really parts
cipate of this common life, we see it
reflected around us in the lives of the
good and noble men, Of the true
and tender women, that continue it.
Thus we can discern in the Past
our sublime and illustrious ancestry.

with the men that first made the dog

the python and the lion, with the va
liant hunters and stout~hearted
husbandmen that in old time made the
earth habitable aad fruit-bearing for
US. We feel strange affinity with the

"When sages looked to Egypt for their lore,'

quence of Pericles, the grandeur Of
Roman conquest and Roman law, the
chivalry, romance, and royalty of the
Catholic period-all appeals to our
intelects and 20 our hearts, all remind
US how much we owe to the Past, how
we are born of it and identified with
it, and should have the same love
for its virtues, the same rrorDearance
tor its ,annrmlties, the same pardon

THE MINUTE.
AFTER THE DANISH.


Alas, how quick the minute flies!
No mortal can its course oppose;
Hardly it's born before it dies,
Scarce can it free the bursting rose.
Yet though so brief its course appear,
How vast its power to create!
To guide or alter our career,
And influence our future fate.
Love terminates beneath its flight,
Or hate begins her frowning sway;
A spark may burst to flaming light,
Or brightest pleasures die away;
joy may elate our souls to heaven,
Or sorrow cause the heart to bleed;
Promises sacred may be riven,
And friends desert us in our need.
The broken heart may find its resi-,
Or happier days their vista ope;
Some suft' ring and despairing breast
Be gladden'd with the flow of hope.
Oh then improve with all thy power,
With all the talents thon dost own,
This fraction ofthe passing hour
Ere to eternity it's flown.
Do what is useful and what's right;
See to thy fellow in distress;
Give to the poor willing mite
OF all the good thou mays't possess.
Thus shall thy final moments bring
Confident strength to ease thy death,
And hope divine her radiance fling
Ger the last minute thou hast breath.

We nave, III Tue llllle INNING camp
near my cabin, very pretty custom,
which, by its poetical respect for the
dead,-a thing so uncommon in Cali
fornia-reminds one of the beautiful
customs Of elder countries, where the
departure to eternity of some poor
villager, saddens the hearts Of all his
neighbors.
Upon the occurrence Of death in
our midst, the gay American flag
which always floats from the buslly
summit of liberty pole that stands
in front of the principal store-is
lowered half>mast, and is not raised
again until our dead brother has been
decently laid away. No matter in
what country the departed drew his
first breath-whether in merry En-
gland, sober Connecticut, Rhine land,
or the grotesque regions of the Chi
nese empire; no matter what were
has clrcumstances-rich or poor, a
lucky or an unlucky miner; down
sinks the flag, suggestive signal, for
a short season, to those who walk in
health beneath its dropping folds.
say, this seems to me beautiful
custom. There is no formal prear~
rangement about it-no recognized
agreement that it shall be done on ev-
cry occasion of death. 1t is done
spontaneously. A poor, lone, home
less wanderer dies amongst us, and
the most of US learn it for the first
time from that striped and starry sig
nal at half-mast.
Even while We look. two men pass
by with an empty coffin, soon to be
tenanted by an heir to corruption
We follow them to the humble cabin
or slighter shelter of a tent, now sane
tilted by the presence Of death, to
gaze upon those marble features we
never saw before and shall not see
again forever.
The ra.iners gather without call or
invitation, save from the lowered flag
or subdued tidings of passenger, 81
lently about the spot, uncovering
their heads, as they approach, with
simple reverence, as though one said
-"this is the body Of our fellow man,
whose soul has solved the mystery we
are; 10, death for him hath cut the
gordian knot that ties us to mortality"
Perhaps the voice of Christian prayer
and holy solemn song now rises on
the air, reminding many a hardened
breast, long closed to such soft memo
ries, of a sad scene, years ago, when
the best of parents or truest of friends
was conveyed away to that obscure
niche We must all occupy, amidst the
singing of that same familiar tune
not since heard till now in tears and
exile. There is one more mound on
the hill-onc more grave without a
name-one more vacant seat at some
far fireside that never shall be filed,
one more loving heart which is only
saved from despair by hopeful ignor-
ance.
Sometimes our marine death token
calls US to a great surprise. A bank
of earth suddenly falls and crushes
the life from an unthinking miner
A crack, rush as Of air, and dull
heavy reverberation which shakes the
solid earth, are heard in the deep
sunless chasm; few startled wretch

Of
DECEMBER WINDS
The wild, free wind from the south comes up
From the bright green isles of the azure wave,
Where the citron grows and the the orange blows,
And pearls lie deep in their ocean grave
But the wind breathes not of the sunny sky
Not breath Of the island bower
He has swept the realm where the billows Sigh,
Aid comes in his might and power
He bringeth the rough and rolicking lords
Of the wintry sky in his train:
The murky cloud and the gay white frost,
And the clattering, jovial rain
All over the gay old mountain height
Midst the waving pines he plays,
In the dark and dingy dell, unseen,'
Through the live-oak glade he strays.
Till the golden stars in the concave throne,
And the pale, sweet queen Of the night.
And the freshening CLEANS of Aurora's beams,
With the eve's empurpled light,
He has hid in the folds of darkness we'll
When he sprinkles the earth with tears,
Till the ebbng tide Of the river swels,
And the rill torrent appears.
When the sky-lark's song at noon was heard,
By the haunts of the hazel shade,
Where the light-foot hare his gambols keeps,
Or the robins nest is made.
Far, through the viny vale below,
Where the dreamy hamlet sleeps,
The wind sings the dirge of the gray old year.
And the rain from its fountains leans
