THE SEPULCIIRE.
‘There manhood lies ! Lift up the pall !
How like the tree struck down to earth
In green pride, the mighty fall,
\Vhom life hath fliitter’d with its worth !
Life. is a voyage to our graves;
Its promises, like smiling Waves,
Invite us onward o’er the sen
\Vherc all is hidden treachery.
What stated beauty slumbcrs there !
But; mark these flowers. palens the brow
W'hich they have wrcathed; if death could spare
A victim, he had pitied now:
To-day she hoped to be a bride---—
To~day ‘twas told, her lover died !
Here Death has revell’d, in his power.
The riot of life’s fairest hour.
-Look on the little cl1erub’s face
\Vhose budding smile is fixed by death;
How short indeed has been its race !
A cloud sail’d by, the sun, a breath
Did gently creep across 8. bed
Of flowers—its spirit then had fled,
A morning star a moment bright
Then melting into I-Ieavon’s own light.
Behold a pl(‘.f1ll' e of decay,
Of nature weariod sank to rest!
Full fourscorc years have pass'd away,
Yet did he, like a lingering guest,
Go from life‘s banquet with a sigh,
That he, alas! so soon to die.
Our youth has not desires so vain ;
As creep into an age of pain.
But there how mournfully serene
That childless widow’d mother’s look!
To her the world a waste has been,
One whom it: pitied, yet; forsook,
Calm as the moons’s light, which no storms
Raging beneath it can deform,
Did her afflicted spirit shine
Above her earthly woes divine !
Thus Death deals with mortality,
Like flowcr’s, some gathered in their prime,
Just numbered with the things of time ;
\Vitli life worn out some grieve to die,
To end their griefs here others fly.
Life is but that which woke it, brenth—-
Look here and tell me, what is death ?

ALMOST BURIED ALIVE!
The Paris correspondent of the Courier’
cl:-8 Etrtts Uni’: relates a remarkable escape
from burial alive which recently occurred
in that city. Not long since, a premature
rumor announced the death of a young
lady-—Madame Patti dc la Roehe——a name
doubly endeared to all lovers of art. This
sad news was announced in all the even-
ing papers, but was contradicted in all the
morning jotirnals. This time, however,
the publication had not been in conse-
quence of one of those deplorable imposi-
tions which sometimes announce an imag-
inary funeral. 'Tlte mistake was an hottest
one; the public voice had but repeated
the lamentations of a despairing family.-
Influenced by one of those whims so com-
mon to the sick, the young lady we are
speatting of had expressczl to her husband
it wish to be buried with all her rings on.
\Vhen they supposed that she was dead,
her despairing husband proceeded to fulfil
her last wish; and whilst he was passing
the rings on her fingers, emaciated by dis-
ease and suffering, he felt her cold hand
tremble slightly in his own. The eyes
which he had just closed, opened again-—
the heart, which had seemed to stop, beat
once more—-her breath, her smile, her
former looks and speech, all returned to
her. A state of lethargy had been mista-
ken for death ; during her profound torpor,
which had lasted several hours, the invalid
had heard all that had been said by those
who were weeping around her; she had
lienrd the decisions of -the physicians, the
subs of her family, and the orders given
for her funeral. ' _
This is one of the terrible peculiarities
of lethargy. The invalid is motionless,
speechless, inanimate, -and cold, and yet
can give no signs of life—and is utterly
without the power to defending himself
from the funeral preparations tb-conduct
bitn to his tomb. What horrible anguish,
and what horrible sttfferiiigs! Here, the
lethargy only lasted a few hours~—-but, if
it had been prolonged, what would have
been the sequel? W’e shudder at the bare
idea of these frightful dramas, the secret
of which the earth conceals, btit which are
occasionally brought to light. It is not
long since that ti father had his daughter
disinterred, in order to have her remains
transported to a new tomb--—which his love
for her bad induced him to have built, for
that purpose,‘ at great expense. The cof.
fin was opened, and it was proved, by evi-
dence but too conclusive, that the unhappy
child had revived after her burial.
Among the English of high rank, it is
customary to expose the dead upon a bed
of state, as is done with the princes of
France. A noble lady, the wife of an ad-'
miral, hnd lain three days upon this funeral
bed, surrounded by lighted candles, in a
chapel hung with black; the ceremony
was nearly ended, the bells were tollings
that we have now been married four weeks
—I don’t exactly see what you have to sigh E
about-—and yet you can’t make me 8. prop-.
er cup of tea. However, I don’t know.
how I should expect it. There never was;
but one woman who could make tea tol
my taste, and she is now in Heaven.—,
Now, Mrs. Candle, let me hear no cryingnl,
I’m not one of the people to be melted by;
tears of women; for you can all cry-—nll|
of you—-at a minute's notice. The water’s
always laid on, and down it comes ifa manf
only holds up his finger.
“ You didn't tltinlc I could be so brutal ’l-—-,
Thnt’s it. Let a man only speak, and he's
brutal. It’s a woman’s first duty to make
a decent cup of tea. VVhat do you think
I married you furl It's all very well with‘
your tumbour-work and such trumpcry.‘
You can make butterflies on kettle hold-'
ers; but canyon make a decent pudding,
ma'am’l I'll be bound not.
“Of course, as usual ; you’vc given me,
the corner roll; because you know I hate-
a corner roll. I did think you must have
seen that. I did hope I should not be
obliged to speak on so paltry a subject——«
but it's no use to hope to be mild with
on. I see that's hopeless.
“And what u herring! And you call it
a bloater, I suppose’! Ha! there was a
woman whoihad an eye fora bloater, but——-
sainted ceature-—she’s here no longer.-
You wisli site was .7 Oh,I understand that.
I'm sure if any body should wish her back
it’s—bttt she was too good for me. ‘When
I'm gone, Candle,’ she used to say, then
you’ll know the wifel was to you.’ And
now I do know it. ' _
‘Here’s the eggs boiled to a stone again!
.-—“The bells tolling; it is time to go to
church.” More fortunate than too many
others, thanks to her aristocratic privilege,
this lady lived; she passed a portion'of
the last winter in Paris, in the enjoyment
of perfect health. These are sad incidents,
btit it is well to recallthem whenever the
occasion offers. 'lhe evil isa great one,
but the remedy is an easy one. Why not
prolong the transition from ‘ the bed of
death to the tomb’! VVe have ourselves
urged this before, and others have done
the same. In some of the States of Ger-
many and Italy, there are halls in which
the dead remain awhile, before they are
consigned to their last abode. Every once
in a while, one of these is restored to life,
and humanity rejoices. Let the philan-
thropists, therefore, think of these things.
It is a subject worth looking into.
Nothing is more characteristic of your
trite Frenchman than his irresistible citri-
osity, which he will often gratify at the
expense of danger, and sometimes at the
risk of his life. In matters of science, by
the way, this peculiarity of the grand na-
tion’ has been of great service to manltind.
A friend relates_a story pleasantly illustra-
tive of this insatiable national impulse. A
young Parisian lawyer, accustomed only
to French breakfasts, arrived in the mor-
ning at Dover on his way to London, was
surprised to find a robust John Bull seated
at a small side table, loaded with meats
and their accompaniments. He surveyed
him attentively for a moment or two, and
then began to soliloquize in an ‘undress
rehearsal’ of the sparse En'gli'sh_at his com-
mand: ‘Mon Dieu!’ said he, ‘can i; b; pos-
Do you tliink, Mrs. Candle, I’m it canary

of ‘perfidous Albion :’ ‘Sore, if you knew
ltell me immediate, and sans offence.’
John was silent, as before, but his face ac-
tually glowed with excitement and sup-
pre:~s:d passion
curious traveller, who once more address-
ed his ‘unwilling witness," and this time
fairly brought him to the use ofhis speech;
for he rose in great anger, accused the
Frenchman of having insulted him; a blow
followed, and at duel was the ‘net purport
and upshot’ oftlie affair. Had the French-
man’s curiosity been satisfied, he would
doubtless have been more steady handed ;
‘but Destiny had willed it otherwise.’-—
Bull's bullet pierced him, and the wound
was decided to be mortal. Englishmen
are seldom ill tempered upon a full sto-
mach: our hero relented; he was filled
with remorse at having shot the poor fel-
low on so slight a provocation, and was
most anxious to make amends for his fault.
‘My friend,’ said he to the dying man, ‘it
grieves inc much that I should have been
so rash as to lose my temper in so trifling
it matter; and if there is any way in which
I can serve you‘, rest assured you have
only to name it, and I will faithfully per-
form your last request.’ ‘Vill you, my
fren’ ?—zen,’ said his victim, writhing in
the agonies of death, ‘if you will be so kind
as tell me wezzer zat was your brelrfaste or
your denay wat you etc, I shall die tier’ mask
content !’
./I Charity Fair in Paris.--A young lady,
Miss A , celebrated for her beauty and
her wit, presided at one of the tables.-
Among the throng which pressed around
the fair render of elegant fancy articles,
was a young gentleman of much assurance,
who gazed ttpon the lady with offensive
fre_edom, and affected to admire the various
articles exposed for sale, but who bought
nothing. - ,
“What will you please to buy sir !”
asked Miss A , with a smile ofpeculiar
meaning.
“Ob,” replied the exquisite, with 11 Ian-
giiisliiisg look, “what I most wish to pur-
chase is unhappily not for sale.”
“Perhaps it is,” said the lady.
“Oh, no,I dare not declare my wishes.”
“Nevertlieless,” said Miss A--—-, “let
me know what you wish to buy.”
“Well, then, since you insist upon it, I
should like a ririglet of your glossy black
hair.” ,
The lady manifested no embarrassment
at the bold request, but with a pair of sis-
sors itrimediately clipped offonc her beau-
tiful locks and handed it to the astonished
youth, remarking that (lie price 1I'(1S five

Her bold admirer was thuntlerstruck at
at this demand, b_ttt dared not demur, as
iby this time a group had collected and
were listening to the conversation. He
took the hair, paid over the five hundred
francs, and with an air ofmortification and
sadness left the hall l

.4 Young Goose.—-In a neighboring city,
a gentleman was attracted by the sight of
a plutnp, extra sized, well cleaned‘ goose.
“Is it a young one’! " said he to a bonny,
rosy cbcelred lass. “Yes sir, indeed it is,”
was the ready rt.-ply, “And how much do
you want for it I" “A dollar,sir.” “That's
too much I think; say eighty seven and a
halfcents, and here's the money.” “Well,
sir, as I would like to get you foraregular
customer, take it away.” The goose was
taken home and roasted, but it was found
difficult to curve, and when cut, tip so
tough as to be uneatable. The gentleman
went to market again, on the following
~ day, as usual, undthere met the -fair poul-
tercr. “Did you tell me that goose was
young wich I bought of you ’l” “Yes sir,
ldid,and it was. Don't you call me a
young womanl I am only nineteen."
“Yes, I do.” “Well I have heard mother
say, many a time, that it was nearly six
weeks younger than me.”
An artist painted Love. and Time, the
latter with two wings outspread,and ‘Love
without it feather.’ The pictures were ad-
mired by ll young lady on the eve of her
marrtage : ~
Copies of each the dame bespoke;
The artist, ere he drew a stroke,
Reversed his old opinions, ' ‘
And struightwey to the fair one brings
Time in histurn devoid of wings,
And Cupid with two pinions.
'\Vhat blunder's this!’ the lady cries: '
‘No blunder, ‘Madam.’ hereplies,
I hope I’m not so stupid :
Each has his pinionsin his -day,
Time, before marriage, flies away,
And after marriage, Cupid.’
-A FAIR Htr.--Mr. Pendleton, of V_a., in‘
the course of his speech on the Oregon
question, gave a sly but very effective poke‘,
at the bachelorism ‘of’ the ‘Se’e'retnry‘of
State, with a side hit the"'h‘eirless condi-
tion dfa still higher functionary. Alluding
to the urgent appeals of Mr. Ingerso_ll—-
for increasingthe population of Oregonin
the natural way‘, be said that at least was
a much more pleasant way of -getting
Oregon than fighting, though it "did occur
to him that in performing by that sort of
rule, Queen Victoria had displayed much
more success than Mr. Polk, and so also
had Sir Robert Peel the advantage over
Mr. Buchanan. '
Beawzful Eartmrt.-—Among ships,tl1et'e
are -some which sail for distant lands and
never reachtheir haven; among flowers,-
there are some which are overtaken by
untimely frosts,and never gain. their bloom;
among soldiers, there are some ;.who fall
before the campaign is hardly. begun ; and
so it is with us. You have left your home
some of you thousands of miles,‘ and..,hei_'e
with usjmtve you begun your professional
career, We do not return you all back
again. On some the grave has closed,
and instead of the gay valleys of our own‘
loved homes, they-are inl;abit’ants of’ the
coldcharnbers of the dead; or, as there
are in that shadowy worlds rewards for
whatever is noble and good, as‘ there are‘
hearts that are lamented with us, they are
not desolate nor alone. For there is a
good Providence that watches around the
bed of the dying student, that softens the
pale angel of death, that lulls the last hour’
with tones like distant evening music, , to
him who is falling asleep ; and as ties‘ _of
the body and mind break one by Ones 90
terestial objects fade away, ‘and the _lIl§m'
.of a ‘distracted’ world grows faint, "and"
‘ more faint, that unfolds serene prospects
of happy climes, fairer than the landscapes‘
of his own native’ country, more pleasant‘
than the Vales that are in the Fortunate"
Islands.-—_.Prqf.,JlIafllt._. ' I.
