The principal branch of his business 19 to dren to crapes and other sables, aed do the pleat tationds. No funeral is esinsidered respectable without the attendenc• of mutes and the more there are, strangely enough, " the merrier. " ) Yes, sir, lam a mete My name is Songster —lsaac Songster, at your service Just salt about me at Bangslor's—they know me; or try Fowler's r” I)aggieis h Compaoy—nee wkiat they will say ot me I have walked for Diggms St Compahy ihts tweoty years back; behind king 4, lords and commous—yes sir, and behind the west duk', too, when be wept up to Saint Paul's. Bless you! they all oome to uw one day. % ell yes, sir: we do meet some queer things cu our line You should hear the watchers of a long night, totting round the fire—some of.their yarns would astonish you They've astonished me sometimes, end I've seen a I , it of life. You see, sir, the way of it is this When we come into a house we find the family, as I may say, all of a hearp with grieving and borrowing, so they take no heed of us, and we come and go when we like, and no questions asked; that's the way, sir, we get to many a secret Why, look at that business of Mrs Craven's, down at Rod Grange —which I saw myself with my own eyes—why, that was as queer a bit of history as you'd ark to see in prior Thank you, Sir, I shouldn't mind—it is a thirsty day, and it's dry work ialkinf You'd like to bear shut Mrs Crssen p .cry well, Sir—it's not u Lug r 3 vbcr Ilere's to you, Sir!

"Am I In time ?" says the young man, ruu• Ding up to Pawler. Pawier started up. " Good Gracious, Mr Craven, is that you f I thought you were in France " '• Am I in time ?" says the young man, very fiercely •' Answer me :" " Plenty," says Pewter, "they don't go this hour. Sit down, Sir, for God'a sake :" "Thank heaven :" saye Mr Craven; "I have come night and day for this Listen to me, Pawler I oan depead oo you." '• I hope so, Sir, says Mr. Pewter; "I have done business with your father and your grand father before him, and they were always satisfied with me." " I know tint," said be: " but what I want done is this. I can't go down to the Grange till to-morrow night I must stay here I daren't go; but I lay it on you in the most solemn man utr co see that the funeral does not go forward till I come." " C•rtainly not, Sir, says Pawler; •' it would be moat k wprovr—oat of all rule " "AL : but you don't know Promise me wbateier they—soy one—may hay, my poor father shall not go to Lie grave without my see• ing Lim But what good is my telling you this? They will have their own way I can't be there :" Sir," says Fierier. "I b u pe I know my duty I have your authortty, and no wan shall get the better of we iu this. Make your mind easy, Sir " b. The young MAD did not say,any more, but covered up his face with his bands, and shortly after went away io great trouble We started not loug after, Iby the night train—a good many of us, too I took all my staff with me, es Perrier said, besides some extra bands, for it was to be done handsomely, and no expense spared We bad a pleasaot party going down, for, lo o k y, u , qtr , a piofessional can't keep on a sad face every day of his life—it's enough to look down cast on his duty, or when he's walkiug—that's what I think. Well, we got to Red Grange early next morning—nip! of your ancient, open house, have—what—you—like sort of place. Why, sir, when I saw the straggling buildings, and the gables, and the roomy puarch, aua the long avenue with its three rows of lime trees—why, I could figure for myself, an plain as if I was looking at them, the big family vault, stag toe family ancestors in marble, at the church bard by, and the testate riding upon their st"ut bobs These things may he known with half an eye, as one may say We got in as quietly as we could into the howee.—of Gown hoping out of the way of SI 50 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. ERIE, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25,1856. tomparly —for you know, sir, familial have, some of 'cm, a dislike to meeting us on the stairs Aires no accounting for these things, sir. As soon as was decent, I sent up a message asking to see whoever was head of the establiabment, as is usual I sent the staff into the kitchen, and a nt myself to the butler's room to learn the ..graphic of the place I eonld have made a picture ..1 hiut. too. as I went along the gallery. A mist repret ble man this will be, said Ito my- self—what a -bort throat and a husky voice, with !softie f the old port in his cheeks, and more in tb' pantry euphoard I know them well, they are all , f 1 the same joint. Well, he was, as I know he would be, as most respectable man, and aboVed we how many things lay in very few minutes Them was up stairs only Mrs. Craven, second wife of Welbore Craven, Esquire, deceas ed, and Major Craven, his brother, who managed everything now " The- major was here very often," says the butler, fetching down the port, (I knew he would;) "very often—oftener when poor Mr Welbore Craven was up in London Re was very friendly, the major," said the butler, looking bard at me. "Ah !" I said, looking et him; " I gee Here during the inners, I'll swear!" " That he war—the poor man died blessing him "' " She's young and handsome, i'll warrant?" said I I never saw her, iir; but I knew she was young and handsomo—l did, indeed, sir!" 4( You may say that," says the .butler; " but there's the hell for you " So I went up at once to the drawing•room. The major was there, sitting at the table—a tall, dark man, with a moustache, and a little stoop in his chest A very gentlemanly man be was, hir , and his voice was a soft as a woman's The room was rather gloomy, as the lower shutters wore dosed; mod, as well as I could make out, he seemed to be writing at the table He said : " are the person rent down by Mr. Paw. ler !". " Yes. sir," said I, "at your service." ‘• I hat-• sent for you to beg that everything nay b.• in readiness for. having the funeral to tn.'trnw• 'llia is Mrs Craven's wish, for whom I am acting." sir," I said, "it can't be."

'I sat that way for some h , tars, until it got quite dark outside— it might be then about six o'clock I was think ing over what kind of a man the late Welbore Craven, Esquire, was, when the door was opened, and the major came in with a haughty•looking lady on his arm, all in black. " - I have been consulting with Mrs. Craven," he said, "about this matter, and we are both agre.d that the funeral must go nu to:morrow "Sir," I auswered, ' I can say no more than what I have said already T showed you to day that it was utterly impossible " '• Mr Songster," said the lady, with a soft, genii,. voice—how she picked up my name, I can't lay—" Mr Songster, since you see we are mueso It interested in this matter, I am sore you sill make ev.•ry exertion for us Do try, and we Fliai i be so grateful to you " What can I do?" I said, at my wits end from their persecution "I am not hindering the business; but, as I t ;Id the major, there is nothing ready " • " Never mind that, Mr Songster," sass she; "Sou wilt contrite same plan Do please, and we shall nevi r forget it to you." I saw sue was trying to come round me—pale lady with soft voin--so I said bluffly— " It's no use talking: you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear; it never was, and it never will be done Take my advice, and wait and do it decently, and don't shame the before the neighbors." I heard the major whispering to her that there was AVOse in what I said, and that they had bet' ter wait; but, she turned round ou him with such a wicked look—ah: The late Welhore Craven, Esquire, must have had a weary life of it with her: Will you let yourself be put off with this fellow's pear ezeuseo? Wbat is he at? Make him speak I won't be trifled with! I t tell you," Abe said, turning on me, her eyes like burning c ads, " I tell you it shall go on to morrow I say it " • I sin 11 .. ed to h e •r,,,iten civilly to, and the word fo I ow 'tuck, in my throat, so I stood up to Ler at on,e.

I had kept t is shot fur the last, in case I should drive the wall. It told well. Tuu never saw people shut up in your life,. - " Ele is to Franc " said the major. •' No, sir, be is n . t. I saw him last night no)self " He was trying to keep up Mrs. Craven, who was quite scared and wandering. "Let us go—let us go." she said. "I knew it would be this way. I knew it would. It is at hand—just at hand—l knew it." The major looked quite mystified; indeed, all along I saw he could not make cut what she be at LI ',Fever, they went out without saying a work; and I wail very glad to bc l kft to p. roe. Well, air, after that I went about a little— . looking at everything, just to strewth ■y limb.►-- ~ I always, however; having an eye to the late Wel -1 bore Craven Esquire, pursuant to orders.
