Union Park or Washington Parade Ground, in order to meet, as I over c have heard between those who only ^ lifted the latch to the little wicket gate, and traversed the "garden patch, and 1 entered the back door and seated * themselves by the fire nans ccrtnwnie. 1 No they were not going to be ill bred, 1 and countrified, and have "neigh- . bors" if they did live in a village.? 1 They happened to move into a "neigh- " borhood, were gossip had never en : tered?where the people were more than ordinarily kind and *vinputhiz- !' ing, and 3*et inclined to "mind their ^ business;" so when the good wives ^ had pnt on their best bibs and tuckers, and called on their new neighbors and pronounced litem very pleasant, and ^ found their calls were not returned, they quietly let them alone. Not many weeks passed before sick v ness, the ditregarder of all aristocratic ? distinctions, entered the domicil from ^ which the neighltors were excluded.? The doctor's carriage was seen every day at the door, but it was no concern of theirs. They might not be welcome, if they proffered assistance or enquiry ; * so they stayed away. The family watched all day by tne couch of 8v.tiering, ami the night brought them no rest, for their were none to take their place s . and with motherly and sisterly sympathy, share their weariness, and help to* bear their burthen?. Then came Death that stern leveller, and bruised their hearts and lowered their spirits, but to whom could they look for the 0 balm which soothes, if it cannot heal, * for the hand which kindly binds up the 1 wound, if it cannot assuage all pain. e Tltose who have ever lived in a conn- a try village, need not be told with what 1 delicacy and alacrity all these offices '! are preformed by neighbors, nor how much sweeter is it to depend on friend- a ship than on menial service, in such an ? honr of affliction. Some mother or e daughter softly enters and assumes all " care, and attends to all arrangements, ' leaving those who are stricken, to the indulgence ot their sorrows and to profitable reflection; and how olten * nave I heard families in cities mourn, j3 that for them there was no such solace?no such friendship. But those who prefer gentility to frank and cor dial intercourse, should not lament q their condition. . Sickness and death teach many a e lesson which no other teacher could im- tl press on the heart; and when our city |j friends had been humbled under the o rod, they sought sympathy which they (, had rejected, and cultivated the friend- ? ship which they had despised. They found they could live in friendly communion with those around them with- b out descending to vulgar gossip, and r that those who live in palaces, and * dress g^rgeonslv, are not the most a sure to prove ministering angels at the * couch of suffering, or the inoet ready o So pour balm int" the wounded heart, a Henceforth they hod neighbors in sick- h nsu and health, aud proved good c country neighbors themselves. d Jfirnu Myrtle. n Inaen ht? m hh i ? . _ ~ ^?2??S3352E23 The Absent I oytfl the a?r<4ee? oTHbo Wetter- ~ 3 raiud, perhaps non* ? attended itli a mora benign influence, than tat of indulging in kind remembrance tt f the absent. * 11 Every loving word that fell from o< le lips of the absent, is treasured with 1 mderness.
