Titc bell IihcI given the usual summons at the time appointed ; and soon tho villagers obeying the signal which called them to the house of mourning, to mingle their mnypnthiee with the bereaved, wero seen in little groups of two, three or more, slowly gathering at the spot. It was near a white house with green blinds, and inclosed within a white paling, facing an open green near the church, and tbu burial place and the occasion ana It 1 alt itwaiif t/>i Ii a* r* loe/v/.s a/\t? . *T<V3 UUV IVUIVU UIC?T 4? W'll* evursu than usually Attend, As I was then on avisUto my native place ami acquainted with the bereaved family, I thought it suita . ble to unite my sympathies with those of others, and accordingly went to the house with some friends soon after the villagers had begun to assemble. We entered and found c few persons seAted in silence in the rooms, all of which were openecNbr the pur pose. In one of them near the entranuo was placed the coffin, which held the lifeless Remains. It was the corpse of a little child of about two years old, and a circumstance which rendered tho event still more afflictive?it was a favourite child of a widowed mother. Her husband had been called away from his labors about two yeafes before, and she was left in the desoUtenNr of her widowhood with her family of little ones, of which this was the youngest and bore* its father's cherished name. The father at the titno of hu death, was the pastor in that villagtvnrid it happened that I hod then speutadav or two there, and witnessed the funerAl of'the pastor and father. As I now stood beside the ooffin and looked on the wan features of the child 1 could not but recall thoso cirtaim taooes to my mind, and thy mournful i>roeeesion 1 had mku| tca*fre!y two year* before, earned to pas* in view' before me. The widow and the mother theft could not j?in that alow moving hearse, and the mourning friends. But now she was to visit that oftfrequented grove to l>c jyhceforth rndqprvd to her heaft, by a new tl.u child wa? to U* laid to si umber hf?i<ie in i..n, and the kindred dust to be mingled lo/cih *r. Th?. feature.* aa they appeared hi d?tili bore the mtrU of |?a<.t suffering, jet yum m ^.^rrxed thare, and, ^ * V /'! * rr v . 1 MOT TO GREENVILL] "Something like a smilo did play Over tko dead inseuate clay, A?if ft happy dream had shed, A halo rouud that guileless head." The child?how many ho|>es had been laid upon it?how often the mother's arms of love had encircled it?how frequent beamed her eye with delight as she won its smile, and how had she quiekeued her ear to catch the Bound of its prattle? How constant had the thought of the father gone, dwelt in Iter mind as its name was utteicd, and it had been marked proceeding from one stage of its infancy to another. The voice of prayer ?how urgently and affectionately had it been breathed over it, and its tender hands cla*ped to teach it to pray. And in its sickness when disease strode on, and the lit tie sufferer sank under its progress, how unremitting had been the care that had been given to it, the vigilance of attention with which its wants liarl lw?i?n nxmr/luit und itio -- - MMM V"W many appliances with which it had been sought to be soothed. And now, all was over, the cherub spirit had tied, and nil that ietnained of its loved imago save in memory's liinnitigs was to be taken away. It was indeed a house of mourning, to which we wcro summoned. As we passed on and took our seats, all was still. Now and then some one with saddened visage entered with noiseless step, and after turning t?? glance at the little sleep er, would l>e sea'cd, or stand in one of the rooms, or at the entrance appropriated to the purpose. Of these many wore females, and not a few of litem mothers; some of them had been called to similar trials, to mourn over their hopes of childhood, blasted in,the bud, and now they were present to weep with one who before might perhaps, have wept with them. It was not difficult to divine the thoughts which might thcu be Kassing through their minds. Hetnentmncc doubtless, was busy in gi\ ing back to them their dead, and the similar scenes to which they have, been called?Oh, yes, to in: biiorn so 01 our lender branches thai I have climbed up around our huart* and .seemed to add a gmoo and beauty to our < abode?to find tbe culting off from us of objects appreciated with so many thickly crowded events of life?though we may feel that wo uecd the pruning, it is painful, and many an after scene, will lind ua going hack to cling in thought to those beloved aud departed little ones. True, but for such breaches in our family circle, as one well observes, the very idea of infancy would lose its continuity with us. Girls aud boys would be future men and women not present children. They would have attained their full growth in our imagination and might its well have been "'en and women at once. On the other hand those who have lost an infant,uic never without an infant child. They are thcoily persons w ho in one sense retain it always, and they furnish their neighbors fctviUt the same idea. The other childien |row up to manhood and womanhood and suffer all the changes of mortality. This one alone, is tendered an immortal child.? Death has arrested it with his kind y harshness and blessed it into an eternal image of youlhfuhicss and innocence. So they passed in. one after another, each face saddened aftd all so silent aud thoughtful that no one could doubt this to Ire the | house of death. There loo, were the play| mates and friend* of the hoy ; children of va{ rioua Ages and stature; little boys and giiU ! gathered with their parents and acquaintances, for little Henry had been a pretty, gentlc one and beloved by those who knew him. On the couulcnaneesof some of theso youngest, could be read the inquiry mingled with -1.. -*?

What is death? seemed to be tlse thought that was then dwelling in their minds. There was a curious saddcne<l expression such as you never see on n similar occasion except on the visage of childhood, and indeed of almost infantile childhood. Hut the villagers had now assembled, and the rooms and entries were tilled. A slight delay occurred for a moment before the solemn serviced commenced. They were waiting for tiiu leauer of iiiu choir. There is a beautiful simplicity in a village funeral, and in this respect and on account of tho more homely, yet apparently hearty sympathy of those present at ihe scone, it contrasts most favorably with the more formal and ceremonious sceues in the city. . iiiuicrtiwi n?i?

C.: THURSDAY character of Christ, as a friend, and one who bore our burdens and carried our soi'rowr, who evinced his readiness to sympathize with his people, and was so well adapted to . comfort them. He then briefly and beautifully spoke of tho circumstances which brought us to tho house of mourning?some of those present, had known tho little stranger, had noticed the opening promise of its short life, and Lad rejoiced that its widowed mother when made to mourn a husband's departure, had the child its it were to restore hiiu to Iter heart. Seizing upon this thought, he" mo?t happily and soothingly dwelt on the fact, that this little otio though now removed froir. one parent had been re- | ceived to a welcome from its heavenly fath- j er, and that possibly its own departed one , had been employed as the guardian Spirits to conduct its spirit to its future eternal ; t 1 ? t ? ? . % ? s . . auoae. ne shki, mat :w no looked at 11 as it lay in its cradle breathing it* last breath, he could not but think that it might be, the father's sjiirit was there the first to greet it, and receive it to hi* anna of love. It was taken from tho evil to come. The loss here t then, was a gain to the child in Heaven.? One parent was mourning it reft froln her arm*; another was rejoicing in feeling it to be associated to his blessedness in a better , world. Urging these consolations, aud they are dear as they are true, on the sorrowing heart he closed with an earnest prayer that God would so strengthen and comfort the mourner a* to render this painful trial a source of exalted blessing. The services finished, the coffin was borne forth and placed iu the open air in front of tho house, on a table, so that all who wished might take a last look of the dead. On that very grass-plat, how often had hi* little feet > trod 5 How had the air rung with hi* childish glee; its little sport* were now over, it* carol voice had ceased ; it wa* now to be boruo away to rest with tho dwellers of the grave. The gathered crowd moved slowly from the house of mourning; they begau to form the procession and to proceed to the hurial-phice. The bell lolled with it* solemn kuell, a* we moved on till we reached the spot. For a moment, the coffin was placed on the father'* grave, and it seemed as it rested there, an emblem of the spirit, already in the bosom of that parent above. Then it wad let down into it* last restiug place, beside that other grave, ami the falling earth soon hid it from our sight. The numerous crowd lingered till the burial was over, and then you might see them scattering in different directions. The widow with her remaining little ones slowly withdrew, to feel how great a void ono little child will make in the family circle; to bond the knee in thankfulness to God who had sustained her, and to seek for his continued grace.

K But hear this lady, the talented Mrs. Eii* j zabcth Oakes Smith, upon tho odious prae- . lico alluded to :? "The habit of spitting is probably one rca- * son why the Americans are so meagre in 1 person. They spit themselves to death, and I then talk wondering!)' about our climate?

Women H and girls rarely spit?frcm an instinctive sense of its indelicacy?but inon look sol- ^ uam, talk grave and spit, just as we close a ' paragraph in our editorial with a peiiod. ' Boys, as soon a* thoy are installed into a ; broarl collar, spit. They practice in order to 1 do this well?shooting forward tho body ' and the under lip, till they become masters I ' of the art, and able to hit a spittoon at the | Greatest nossible distance. It' spitting tntft be done, the jxx-ket- ' handkerchief is tho only legitimate medium, and this can be used in a manner na little ' obvious to tho spectator as possible. Those ' who have this habit invetcrntely established, should carry an extra hand kerchief, that the 4 ono "wisely kept for show" may be as little ' obtectiotiablc as possible. Seriously, our secretions, if hen]lliy, are ' never offensive, and never in undue quantities ; tho habit of casting the saliva from the mouth, causes au extra secretion, which must in its turn be ejected, and thus nature is seriously taxed to supply the waste?the gums shrink?the teeth fail?the throat is parched?bronchitis first, and finally consumption, or some other decay of a weak, organ, comes in to close the scene. An Arab would run a man through who should presume to spit in his prosonco.? The bird never spito, the toad squats to the earth, and the serpent secretes saliva as a deadly poison. If wo weep passionately, the saliva is bitter?it is pungent and scanty in tho action of the baser emotions, while love renders it sweet and abundant. The saliva is associated with our whole animal economy, aud follows closely on the action of our minds, sympathetically, and intimately with all its moods. Sensitiveness inclines us to swallow down < uur saliva, while disgust dispones us to spit | it out. Tho scent of roses moistens the lips more than the tongue; lemons cause the I mouth to l?o filled with saliva. The sight of lone hateful to us dries the mouth, while, ou [ tho contrary, one who is agreeable moistens | it. Ileuce those who weep much have not only dry lips, but an acid mouth. There is a beautiful philosophy in all thin, and those who waste the secreliou*by spitting, lose not only the action of those glands, but unquestionably weaken the sensibilities associated with them. Show us a man who spits, and you show us a man of uncertain j enaraoierisucs, ana one wnose sensibilities I are -uot to be trusted. l)o away with spitI toons, and nature will do her work more genially for man?she will beautify hint? whereas now she is obliged to be continually patching him up !" Without doubt, this is all true, and 'tis equally true of habit being a "second nature," It is also true of tuan being the only animal requiring stimulant*?and to be, i>y touiu, on account of his false position; by others, that ho is naturally ho?and lho highly scientific Dr. Buchanan favors the latter idea. Now, wlt,ich of these opinions is right 1 Or, are they both right and both wrong t But stay. The amiable writer above quoted seems to hazard a mid.lie opinion between the two extremes. Verily, if the bare removal of a spittoon would cure an j odious, nay, pernicious habit, it would very soon bo accomplished. But the old notions of byg??ne dogmas are still prevalent? namely, that we can like and dislike just as wo please. Now, who likes the taste of that exoerable weed?tobacco! There is nothing pleasant about it; the very hogs despise it. Yet man puis into his mouth what even swine* refuse ! If the lowering of man's high dignity thus could be so easily cured, wouldn't it be aoou set about in real earnest! But not so. . Must we have a legislative enactment, too, like that about whiskey ilrinkin'T to cure?no. not toeing but 1.1 i?t temp to cure tho evil?
