Burial Of Sir Walter Scott.

II was bleak and stormy autumn
day, with an impenetrable gray sky
frowning over a lowering landscape.
when the mile-long funeral process
sion set forth from Abbotsford. With
one common voice of woe the coro-
mach of a nation walled over the hills.
the sad gray land being all in keeping
with the nodding of black plumes and
the slow pace of the horses, says a
writer in the Book-Lover. The road
traversed on his last long journey
had been one of Scott's favorite drives,
and the most pathetic incident of all
was the pause of the cortege on the
brow of Bemerside Hill. The horses
that drew his lifeless body were the
carriage horses. and not knowing their
master was dead, they stopped of their
own accord at the spot where Peter
Natheson had always drawn them up,
that Sir Walter, from where he sat,
might look down and enjoy his favor
te view. Every mourner noticed the
unexpected pause and the eyes of the
grown men filed with involuntary
tears when they learned the reason.
Thus they buried Sir Walter Scott:
and Caledonia, stern and wild, re-
ceived into her arms her marvellous,
well-loved child.
