New YORK, June 13-The funeral serv-
ices of the late Mr.. William Cullen Bryant
will probably be held at Dr. Bellows Church
on Friday morning. There will be no pail
beaerrs and no flowers DR.. Bellows will
deliver short address, and will read the
usual burial service. The body will then be
taken to Mr. Bryant's home al Roslyn, L. l.,
and be buried beside Mrse Bryant, who died
July, 1866. Further particulars will be ar
ranged to-day.
| The surviving members of Mr. Bryants
immediate family are two brothers, Arthur
| and John Howard Bryant, who are both
living in the West and two daughI ers, the
eldest of whom is the wife of Parke Goodwin.
John Howard Bryant enrolled his name
among the list of American poets by some
very good work in his younger days. Heis
now a citizen of Princeton, Illinois. In a
letter written March Sd, 1871 Mr.. Bryant
describes his domestic habits, to which he
partly ascribed the wonderful preservation
of his physical and mental vigor He says;
| cat this season he rises at half-past five, and
an hour earlier in summer, and immediate
| ly begins series of exercises, which he con-
tinues for full hour, after which he bathes.
For breakfast he takes hominy and milk, or
brown bread, oat meal or wheaton grits and
in season baked sweet apples. He never de-
clines any article of vegetable food but
never takes animal food for breakfast, nor
tea or coffee at any time. After breakfast
] he occupies himself with his studies and
when in town walks down to the Office OF
the Evening Post, three miles, and after
about three hours returns, always
walking, whatever be the weather.
In the country he dimes early, taking either
a little bread and butter In town he dimes
later, but only has two meals per day. His
drink is water, but sometimes though rare
ly, he takes a glass of wine, finding that
wine confused rather than exhilarated him.
