The Late Amos Lawrence.
The funeral of this distinguished citizen of Bos
ton took place on the II th inst. The ceremonies
at the Braille square Church. whither the bode
wes removed, were very impressive. The Boston
Journal says :—L''The following beautiful hymn
was sues by.. choir of young girls. from the 'Law

ly tenement of their deceased patron, as their sweet
strains want forth jn all the beauty of melody
tinged with sorrow :
WE HAVE LOST A FATHER
Tunic —" Hanle Again."
His has gone—he has gone—
To his soh it home :
And oh ! it thrills his soul with joy,
In realms of bliss to roam
But we must shed the burning tear
T. part with him we love ;
And now for us the world is gloom,
,Siuee he is gone above.
We has gone—he has gono—
To his spirit home ;
And oh, it thrills his soul with joy,
In realms of bliss' to roam.
Weeping epee—broken hearts—
Oft he bid rejoice;
And homes of woe were full of praise,
That heard his loving voice ;
For oft he swilled poor sorrow's tear,
And wept 'when they were sad;
And many were the orphan forme
His generous bounty clad,
Weeping eyes—broken bee rts—
Oft Ire bid rejoice;
And homes of woe were full of praise,
That heard his loving voice.
Gentle worde—heavenly thoughts—.
Linger where he trod ;
And oh ! it nes our childhood's charm
To hear him talk of God ;
Then let us ever eitt lite to live
As he, our friend, has clone ;
That we may rear h the happy life
Which he ha. now begun.
Gentle words—heavenly thoughts--
Linger where he trod :
And oh ! it was out rhiidhood's charm
To beer him talk of thud.
Far, thee well!—far e thee well !
We around thee weep ;
But oh ! we love thee, father, AWL—

And oh ! our hearts ere rung with grief,
For he we loved is dead.

in the place, with two or three others, who
were to act as speakers. Ooe of these lat
ter was a man just past the prime of life.
His hair was thin sod gray, and his face
lean and withered ; but his dark, restless
eye showed that within was an active mind
and quick feelings. This was Sturgess,
the individual before referred to. After
the usual preliminaries, necessary on such
occasions, ho arose to address the meeting.
For some time he stood with his eyes mo
ving through the audience. All was bush
ed to a profound silence ; and there was a
breathless attention throughout the room.
He was more given to declamation than
argument ; generally carrying his hearers
with him by the force of strong enthusi
asm.
"My friends," he at length said, in a
low, subdued, yet thrilling, distinct voice.
Ms manner, to those who had hoard him
• before, was so-different from what was ex.-
peeted, that they felt a double interest in
the speaker, and bent forward, eager to
catch every word.
"My friends," he repeated, "a little over
half an hour ago, an incident occurred
which has so checked the current of my
thoughts and feelings, that 1 find myself
in a state better fitted for the seclusion of
my chamber than for speaking. It is a
weakness, I know ; but even the best of
us are not at all times able to rise above
our weaknesses. I was conversing with a
friend in the midst of a group of men, some j
of whom were unknown to me, when one
of the tatter proposed to an acquaintance
whom he wiled by name, an attendance
upon this meeting. "I have no fancy fur
such things," was answered. "Sturgess is
to speak," was advanced as an argument. I
"lie's a cold-water fanatic," said the young
man, with a sneer.
There was the most perfect stillness
throughout the romp. All eyes were fix
ed upon Sturgess, whose low, subdued
lone of voice, so unusual for hint, made a
merited impression on the audience. lie
stood, fur sonic moments, again silent, his
eye rearclling every where.
"If," he resumed, i❑ the same low, half
sad, impressive voice, "that young man
were here to night, 1 would feel it a duty,
as well as a privilege, to tell him why I

her thin, sad, suffering face, tells a story
of poverty, sickness and that heart-sorrow
which dries up the very fountains of life.
A few years previously, she had gone forth
from her father's house, a happy bride,
looking down the open vista of the future,
and seeing naught but joy and sunshine.
She clung to her husband as confidingly as

and disgust is on your countenance; for a
miserable drunkard is before you. No
wonder the poor wife's pale cheek grows pa
ler, now that the sadness of her face
changes into a look of anguish. He has
greeted her with an angry word. He
staggers across the room, and, in so doing,
throws over that little todling thing on her
way to meet him. The mother, with au
exclamation, springs forward to save her
child from harm. See ! The drunker,
wretch has thrust her angrily aside with
his strong arm ; and she has fallen—fallen
with her head across a chair !
"The full, my friends, proved fatal. A
week after that inbappy day, I stood by
the grave of one, who bad been to me the
best and most loving of wives !"
The old man could no longer suppress
his emotions. Tears gushed over his face,
and ho wept aloud. Few dry eyes were
in that assemblage.
"Is it any wonder," resumed Sturgess,
after he had again recovered the mas
tery of his feelings, "that I urn a cold Iva
ter fanatic 1 Methinks, if the young in:ln
to whom I have referred, had passed thro'
sorrow like this, he, too, would have been
an enthusiast—a fanatic, if he will—in the
cause of temperance. He, too, would
have proclaimed from the streets and the
house tops, and the highways, his mission of
reform nud regeneration. But let me say
to him, and to all like him, that prevent
ion is better than cure—that it is easier to
keep sober than to get sober, easier to give
up the daily glass at twenty-two or t wenty
five, than at thirty or forty. These drink
ing habits gain strength more rapidly than
others, from the fact that they vitiate the
whole system, and produce a diseased vital
action.
"A cold water fanatic l—perhaps I am.
But have 1 not had cause ? Teu years a-
. go, a youth of the brightest promise step
' ped confidently upwards, and Het his foot
on the firm earth of manhood. He had ed
ucation, talents, industry, and good prin
ciples. But he lacked one element of safe
ty—he had not a deeply-fixed antagonism
towards all forms of intemperance : in
deed, like the young man to whom I have
before referred, he rather regarded the ad
vocates of temperance as fanatics. And
he was not so much to blame on this ac
count, for his own father, in whom he con
fided, kept liquors in his side-board, used
them himself, and set them out hi mistaken
hospitality before his friends. Well, this
young mall went on well for a time ; but,
sad to relate, a change was apparent in a
few years. His frequent visits to taverns
brought him in contact with dangerous
coup:miens. Drinking was followed by
its usual consequences, idleness ; and the
two united in s.ueedily working his ruin.
“My frietois,''—the speaker was again
visible excited,—"one night, two years
ago, 1 was returning fiotue from a visit to
a neighbor. It was dark, for heavy clouds,
,b,cured the sky, and there were all the
indication., of a rapidly approaching storm.
Presentl}• li Muir began to gleam nut,
and thunder to roll in the distance. I
was, perhaps. a quanerof a mile from home,
when the rain came down in a tierce gust
of wind. The darkness was now so in
tense, that I could not see five paces ahead
but, ailed by the lightning, I obtained
shelter beneath a large tree. I had been

groan came on toy ears, chilling the blood
back to my very heart. The next flash
enabled toe to see, for an instant, the pros

figure momentarily visible, and groan af

aloud. But the only answer was that eon
tinned moan, us one in mortal agony. I
drew nearer, and bent over the prostrate
' body. Then, by the lightning's aid, I
knew it but too well. It was, alas ! that
of the unhappy young man I have men
tioned—tny own son !
"I took him in my arms," continued
the old luau, in a faultering voice, after
another pause, in which the audience bent
forward with manifestations of intense
interest, "and with a strength given at
the time carried him home. I was, from
the moment of recognition, unconscious
of storm or darkness. Alas I when I
laid hint upon his own bed, in his own
room; and looked eagerly down into his
face, that face was rigid in death. If I
am a cold water fanatic, friends, here is

one of the audience stood up in his seat,
and every gase was turned toward him.
It was the young man, Parker. Fixing
his eyes upon the still disturbed counte
nance of the speaker, ho said, slowly and
distrietly%
"Yea, the apology is mere. than 'suffi
cient; I take beck the words unwisely

ished. This night I enlist in your cold
water army, and I tract to make a brave
soldier."
Parker sat down, siben instantly a shout,
went up that startled the slumbering
echoes. St urgess, yielding to the impulse
of his feelings, sprung from the stage, and
grasping the young man's hand, said, in a
voice not yet restored to calmness—
"My son I—born of love fur this high
and holy cause; I blells you I Stand firm

what he bad done. He is now a faithful
soldier in the cold-water army.

The "Old Guard" at Waterloo.
The following description of the last
