 --She was remarkably sensible young lady who made the request of her friends that after her decease she should not be buried by the side of brook, where babbling lovers would wake her from her dreams; nor in any grand cemetery, where sight-seers, coming over epitaphs, might distract her, but be laid away to take her last slcep under the counter of some mer- chant who did not advertise in the newspapers. There, she said, was to be found peace surpassing all under standlng-a depth of quiet slumber, on which neither the sound of the buoyant foot of youth nor the weary shuttle of old age would ever intrude.
