A DANBURY FUNERAL.

The Danbury News says: The day
Mr.. Ruby across tho way was to be
buried, Mrs. Moriaty told her daughter
Clarinda that she guessed she would
attend, as she wasn't feeling very well,
and n ride would do her good. She
knew there would be several covered
carriages furnished at the expense Of
the family, and she was equally conf
dent it could be so managed that she
would occupy portion Of one Of them.
She was among tho first at the house,
and occupied a prominent position. AS
the ether friends arrived, she took &C.
casion to recall "reminiscences OF the
late Ruby that brought tears to their
eyes, and when the services were over,
rs the first coach drove up for its load,
tho distress of Mrs. Moriaty was so
marked as to excite the livelicst SYM
pathy. Then the second coach came
up. Mrs. Moriaty had got down to the
gate by this time, and AS the door of
the second coach was opened and a call
made for the occupants, it seemed ex-
tremely doubtful if she could hold up
another instant. She leaned against
tho post, and stared into tho coach and
over tho rich upholstcring, and said
tho late Ruby seemed moro like son
to her than a neighbor. Whereupon
the uSher 1OOkeO appropriately SaU, ana
called up the third and last coach. This
had yellow cushions and pink straps,
and Mrs. Moriaty didn't hesitate to
protest that in the death Of Mr.. Ruby
tho community had met loss it was
impossible to recover from, and that
she would follow him to his last resting
place if sho had to do it on her knees,
and would feel grateful for the oppor-
tunity. Then tho third and last coach
filed and drove off to take its place in
tho line, and Mrs. Moriaty dried her
tears, choked back the sorrow of her
heart with one mighty gulp, and strobe
into her own house, shutting tho front
door without the aid of the knob. She
told Clarinda that it was tho scaliest
affair she ever went to, and had it not
been for tho body there would have
been no funeral ut all.
