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

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

"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

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

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. .

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.

MORNING, DECEMBE

U II
A lady is justly down upon tlio too pre- ^
valent Imbit of spitting, so much in practico, 11
aud to reform which, like many other *
things, must bo the work of time, ilow H
easily acquired?and jet how hard, to get H
rid of a bad habit! There is one portion of "
this spitting affair, however, which deserve* .
svory execration, viz: the outrage commit,
_ i i? . - I -t t*r.
icu upon a nuu carpci or ne.iriurug. wnut
rudeness ! and yet wo witness it daily. A 0
o.vhide?uo, nor n iulg<l won't cure this 1
distemper. Wonder what tlie showing '
tuch slovenly people to the door would ef- *
feet ? even pcnsible, intelligent men are 8
guilty of this?what, then, can be expected
jf inferior* t * . 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? '
swell the numbers of those who die of con- *
sumption, and look like*scarecrow* during
the period of their natural life. 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
