During my residence in the countt) I used frequently to attend R< the oiH village church..

The bridal of the earth and sky.” I do not pretend to what is called a devout man ; hot there are feelings that visit me in a country church, amid the beautiful serenily nt nature, wiiicb f experience no where else ; and if not a more religious, I think I am a better man on Sunday, than any o ^ e r day of the whole seven' But in this church I felt m-yself cno' timially thrown back upon the ^woild by the frigidity and pomp of the poor worms arttund me. T h e only being that seemed ih«»roughly to feel lh*- humble and prostrate piety of a tru<* Chris'iat', was a poor de«r pid old wo man, bending under the weight of years and infiribaties. .She bore the traces of snniething better than ahjeci }»*verty. T h e lingeriqgs of decent pride were visible in her appearance. Her dress, through humble in the ex treme was scrupulously clean. Some t.^itial respect, too, had been awarded her,for she did not take her seat among the village poor, but sat alone on th** steps of the altar. She seemed to have' survived ail love, friendship, all so ciety ; and to have nothing left here but the hopes of heaven,.! W hen I saw her feebly rising and bending her aged form in prayer.—bahiiually conning her prayer bunk, whicih her palaideri h[tnd and failing eyes would not per mit her to read, but.which she evidert- llv trcaet^--f j-IVts HM 4 .the falfexing vrficip .oL that plioT woman arose to heaven far before »he responses o f the clerk, [the swell of the organ, or thech»«iing of the clioir.

T h e church was suirounded by yew tCees which seeni(>(l alptost coeval vviih itself. Its tall Goihid spire shot up lightly from among thqm, with rooks and crows generally wheeling about it. LiWas seated there pne still sunny morning, WRlching twio laborers who were digging a grave.' They had cho sen one of the most remote neglected corners of- the . c h u rih-yard, where from the number of ifameless gMves antond, it would appear that ^he in digent and friendless w«re huddled in to the earth. 1 was told that the new- made grave was for the oply son of a poor widow. W hile I «tls meditating on the distinctions of worldly rank, whirh extend thus down tiuo the very dust, the toil itf the bell aminnn- ced the approach of the funeral. T h e \ were the ob.sequies of poveny with which pride had nothing to do. A cof fin of the plainest maierittls, without pall or coveting, was borne by some of he villagers. T h e sexton walked be fo r e with an air of cold indiflVrencp.— 'T h e » e were no mock munroers in the tra.ipn.*' of affected wo; but ilitre was one real moufimr who feebly tottered «fier the corpse- It was the aged mother of the deceased-'—the poor old woman whom I had seen seated on the teps of the altar. She was supported iiy a humble friend, who was endea- ifuring to comfort her. A few of the ^iieij^hboriDj? p*>t>r had joined the train, \ana some children nf the village were rurning hand in band, shputtng with unthinking mirth and now pausiug to gaie with childish cufiosity on the f r i l f 6f the mourner. '| As the funeral train approached the grave the parson issiijed from >he chiirqh-porch, arrayed iji the surplice with prayer bopk in haejd, and atten ded by file clerk! j I approached the grave. T h e cof fin was placed on the gtotind. O n it were insm'ibed the name and aga of the deceased—‘George Somers, aged S6 years.” .
