Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Lift; is but an empty dream !
For the soul is dead that slumbers.
And things are not what they seem.
Lite is real ! Life is earnest !
And thp grave is not its goal ;
Dust thou art, to dust retumest,
Was tiotspokt.il of the soul.
Not enjoy nicnt, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end oi way ;
Rut to act, that pach to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is loni. and Time is fleetinc,
And our hearts, though (tout and brave.
Siill. like muiHed drums, are beating.
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of buttle,
In the bivouac of Life ;
P.e not like dumb, driven cattle!
P.e a hero in the strile !
Trust no future, hnwe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Pat bury its d.-ad !
Act, act in the living Present !
Heart within and God o'cihcad '.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footsteps on the sands of Time.
Footstpps, that perhaps anothpr,
Sailiniio'pr life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother.
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up anil doing,
With a heart for any fate ;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labnraml to wait.

Treatment of the Irnrf.
While examining our Fntrlish files of news
paper, received by the Great Western, we were
not merely struck by Iheir pratttitnns anxiety
in relation to the United Stnteo, but by the ex
traordinary abuses to which they submit them
selves t
It appears that for some time past there has
exited in Iintlnn one of the greatest abomina
tions that ever disgraced a metropolis. There
is a bnryitifj ground in tho Sitdfii'lds of a very
! limited si.o, where the dead have been interred
for shout hnll'n century in the nist extraordi
nary niiinner. In consequence of its Finalities?,
it has been the practice to resort to the tuot
horrible mentis to obtain room for the newly
brought dend.
Senrcely is a corpse deposited in the ground
before it is taken out, the coffin broken up into
firewood, and the hotly tumbled into a hole.
Fires are kept b truing day and nijiht to con
sume the wood tliui obtained by the disinter-
j merit ol the dead, and a dreadful effluvium fills
! the air. On a recent examination it) London,
j the following facts were elicited.
I According to the statement of a surgeon,
: Mr. Walker, a watchman of the ground, per
j formed the double oflice of calling the hour of
the niyht, and burning the coffins in the bone
Iioiim The relief guard of grnve diggers com
menced their J:i,ly work in the yard, ns soon
nslhe watchman went oll'liis duty. The man
i frequently It t his fire go out, and excused him-
self for it by declaring the wood was too wet
The humane sexton would then tell hirn to save
I nil deal wood cofitns so as to keep tip th fire.
A respectable family residitiL' near the hurv-
j ing ground, bought n site for 'heir o-vn use, of
I double, the ordinary sizn. Having occasion to
inspect it a short time afterwards, they found
' eight or ten coffins lying in every direction a-
round and in it. The shells and hodirv in them
were bored and cut through to hasten the de
composition, nnd the original occupant of the
grave, one whose memory was dear to them.
j was actually found doubled up nnd thrust into
! the mud at the bottom, where n most sickening
compound of putrefaction was deposited, to the
extent of forty poiUfull.

A Wlfo Worth Having.
The distinguished Wm. Wirt, within six or
riirht months after bis first marriage berime
addicted to intemperance, the effect of which
operated strongly on the mind and health of
his wife, nnd a few months more she was num
bered with the dead. Her death led him In
leave the country where he resided, and move
to Richmond, w here he soon ro-e to distinction.
Rut his habits hung about him, nnd occasionally
he was fun ml with jolly and frolicksome spirits,
in bncchnnlian revelry. Ilis true mends ex
postulated with him, to convince him ofthe in
jury he was doing himself. Rut ho still per
sisted. His practice began to tall olT and ma

lie win advised to get married, with a view of
Correcting his habits. This ho consented to do
if the r in Lt person oft red. lie accordingly
paid his U'hlresses to Miss Oimhle.
Alter some months attention, lie asked her
hand in marriage. She replied :
"Mr Wirt, I have been well awnreoryoiir in-
tentions for some time back, tiliil should have
given you to understand that y-nr visit and
attention were not neerptnhle, 1 1 it I not toei-
procatetl the iffeetinn which yon evinced for
mo. Rut I cannot yield mv assent until von
make a pledge never to taste, touch or handle
onv intox eating drinks."
This reply to Mr. Wirt was as unexpected
ns it was novel. His reply was that he regard
ed the proposition as a bar to nil further consi
deration of the siiubj'Ct, nnd hither. Her
course to him wns the same as ever his re
sentment and neglect. In the course ot a few-
weeks, he went again and again mlicited her
hind. Hut her rop'y was the same. lie be-
came indignant, nnd regarded the terms she
proposed ns insulting his honor, and vovvt d it
should he the Inst meeting they should i vi ;
have. Ho took to drinking worse and seemed
to run lientllot.g to ruin. One day, w bile lying
in the outskirts ofthe city, near a little eroo rv
or grog shop, dead drunk, a young lady, whom
it is not necessary to mine, was p-is-ing that
way to hT liome, not far off, b- held him with
his f ice upturned to the rays ofa scorching sun
She took her handkerchief with ht r own
nnme marked tiHin it, and placed it t ver his
face. Alter he had remained in that way for
some hours, he wns awakened and Ins thirt be
ing so gr-'at, he went into the little grocerjMir
grogshop to get a drink, when he discovered
the linidkf rchirt which be looked at, and tht
name that was on it. Alter pausing a few nu
liutee, he exclaimed
"(Treat (toil, who hit this with me!

lie retired instantly from the store, forget
ting his tlurt, but not the tii-haueb, the hand
kerchief, or the lady, vowing, if (iotl gave him
strength, never to touch, taste or bundle intox
icating drinks.
To meet Miss C. aga n was the hardest of-
fort of his lire. If he met her in her enrr age
iron foot, he would dodge the neare-t roru -r.
She at Inst addressed bun a note, nnd.-r h r
ow n hand, inviting him o the hon.. which be
fin-illy gathered courage enoo -',, accept. Ilo
tobl her if she still bore au ction for bun, he
w iild agree to hey 0,vii terms. Her reply
was
"My eo-i", ;iion.s now arewhat they ever

"We're all Ci.waitl In the Dark."
A medical friend of ours, who some ye.irsj
since, visited Paris under circumstances nist
favorably to an rutrre lo a most interesting cir-Hew-thnt
ofthe survivors nnd ct dmnnt suppor
ters ' f the "I'mpire," tells a cnpit.il story as ho
liPnrd it related by the celebrated General Ex
celmans, ooeof Napoleon's pirrWin. It was at
a dinner party, composed of some of tho survi
vors of Waterloo, a few of their younger rela
tives, and th" scion of nn ex-king, on a vi-it
from his home in America, nnd to whom our
friends owed his introduction to the circle.
Some questions arose about bravt ry, when the.
younger members of the company were electri
fied to bear the norable and heroic rxcelmnns
gravely nnd seriously declare, that men u-ere
eowards in the. dark ! The General smiled at
their expression of dissent, remarked, that it -van
"very like youth," and proceeded to tell the fal
lowing anecdote in support of his strange de.
clarntion.
There was a young hot-head in '.'he Empernr'
service, who, burning tor action, nod his duties'
at the time affording no opportunity, at last re
solved to fight a duel, ne.d, accordingly, choo
sing to construe some remark or other of an old
er and superior officer into an insult, challenged
him. The old s','.jicri waving all considerations
of rank, sger-d to meet the young man, hot on
the folkw .ng unusual term. The time should,
be n'.glr, the place a room in opposite corner
pl Vtiiich they were to sta id. Tho second, hi
ving placed their men, were to witlulr-iw out
side of it, taking the candlis with t'icm. The
word should be given from without, when he
w ho had the fir.-t fire should discharge his weap.
on, and the seconds benrinj the lights ehoultl
immediately rush in !
These stiange conditions v.-rre accepted, tho
time arrived, and the seconds placed the partita
as agreed upon ; withdrawing immediately, an i
leaving their men in the dark. The word v.m
gu'en, tho fire was heart), the door wns re-ore.1-ed,
nnd there stood the elder ot Un; two ; b t
upright in ihe corner, his adversary's h i! i -
ving entered the wall so close to his hoi d ' ;it
the escape seemed little less than miracu! .ir
It was now the old sold er's time to li.e ;
they were ngain left in the dark, the word w is
ngam g'ven from the outside, and, instii'itanr-.
otisly with the discharge, the seconds rii-betl
in to find the challenger prostrate ur n ti:o
floor nor haiinii yt ritoienJ himstlf j'ivi
his trick to amid the h ill, : ich, on exnui n ...
tion, it was found, must have killed him.
The young tnaii was covered w ith contusion,
and the seconds were nvt-ri brim ng him wit.i
expressions of tlit ir scorn, when tiu vet-, ran
stopped th-'tn.
'Not s.i fast my young friendssaid he, 'yen
w ill grow w iser. Wi credo you suppose '
nt the first fire ! On my hands a i : 1 1 knees in
the corner, hut, ma fni .' I was up quicker than
he! lir i.'t ii. Mi mu urs, ui are all cow
ards in the dark!'
It was alter .vardj whispered to our fncn l,
that the story was an actual fact, and tiiut tiio
elder ofthe parties was no ntlier than the IruVQ
warrior Ex.'rlmans, himself.
