At this juncture and crisis, when each instant is priceless, disregard- ing every inducement, resisting ev- ery aud solicitation, the senate proceeds by unanimous con- sent to consider resolutions of the highest privilege, reported from no committee, having no place upon any calendar, but which take preec- dence of unfinished business spe order upon which the ye and ays are like dying to exchange the inch of failure, x obloquy, incentive never cailed, and negative vote is ever recorded, and reverently pauses, in obedience to ho the holiest impuise of human nature to contemplate the profoundest mys tery of human destiny, the of death. In the democracy of the dead, at least, all men are equal. There is neither rank nor prerogative in the republic of the grave. At this fatal threshold the philosopher ceases to be wise, and the song of the poet is silent. lnystery Dives relinquishes his mil- lions and Lazarus his rags. The poor man is as rich as the richest, and the rich man is as poor as the pauper. The creditor loses his usury and the debtor is acquitted of obli- gation. There the proud man sur- renders his dignities, the politician his honors the wordling his pleas- ures; the invalid needs no physician and the laborer from unrequited toil. Here at last is nature's final de- gree in equity. The wounds of time are redressed. Injustice is expiated. The irony of fate is refuted. The unequal distribution of wealth, hon- or, capacity, pleasure and opportuni- ty. which make life so cruel and in- explicable, ceases in the realms of death. The strongest there has no supremacy and the weakest needs no defense. The mightiest captain suc- cumbs to that invincible adversary who disarms alike the victor and the vanquished. James Nelson Burnes, whose death we deplore to-day, was 2 man whom Plutarch might have described or Vaudyke delineated; massive, rug- ged and robust; in motion, slow, in speech, sonorous and deliberate; grave in aspect, serious in demeanor; of an antique and heroie mould; the incarnation of power.

But if death be the end, if the lite of Burnes terminated upon this bank and sheal of time, if no morning is to dawn upon the night in which he sleeps, then sorrow has no consola- tion und this impressive ceremony which we observe to-day has no more significance than the painted pagean of the stage. If the exist- ence of Burnes was but a troubled dream, death oblivion, what that the Senate should pause to recount his virtues, and that his associates should assemble in solemn sorrow around his voice- less sepulchre. his avails it Neither veneration or reverence are due to the dead, if they are but dust; no cenotaph should be reared to preserve for pos- terity, the memory of their achieve- ments, if those who come after them are to be only their successors inan- nihilation and extinction. Unless we survive the ties of birth, affection and friendship area delu- sive moekery; the structure of laws and customs upon which society is based, a dejected imposture; the code of morality end justice, the sentiments of gratitude are empty forms without faith or concentra- tion. If in this world only we have hop2 and consciousness why should their inculcations be heeded? Duty must be a chimera. Our passions and our pleasures should be the guides of conduct, and the virtue is indeed a superstition if life ends at the grave. This is the conclusion which the philosophy of negation must accept at last. Such is the felicity of those degrading precepts which make the epitaph the end. If these teachers are right, if the life of Burnes is like an arrow that is spent, then we are atoms in a moral chaos; obedience to law is indefensible seryitude; rul- ers and magistrates are despots tol- erated only by popular imbecility; justice is a denial of liberty, honor and truth are trivial rhapsodies, murder and perjury are derisive jests, and their harsh definitions are frivolous phrases invented by tyrants to impose on the timidity of cowards and credulity of s} If the life of Burnes is a taper | is burned out, then we treasure memory ard his example and the latest prayer of his ing spirit has no more sanctity to us, who must follow him, than the | whisper of winds that stir the leaves | of the protesting forest, or the 1aur- ‘mur of waves that break upon the | ee shore.” s. that | his | vain, in depar depart nd ont i de that word | iles to | A SHANNON COUNTY TRAGEDY.

She had a long interview with the lawyer, however, regarding the terms of the will and then drove with Mr. Dupont to the clegant mansion that was hers. There he left her to wander through the ele gant balls under the direction of the housekeeper, Mrs. Carter, and for the first time in her life she saw what luxury was and contrasted this home with the sordid lodgings she had left. Three months passed and yet the Rev. Henry Morville had not once seen his betrothed. She had written littleinformation, being guarded, and, he fancied, cold. And he was concious that his replies invited no confidence, his conscience indicating the sternest disapproval of Ethel’s acceptance of the money her father had so recently refused. He had not actually asked to choose between her lover and her wealth, but he knew that she fully under-! stood that he would never share with | her the money he believed to be ill- | gotten and accursed. | And yet he loved her—loved her! with a pure devotion he had not ful ly realized himself before these | | dresry ks of separtion She had | | been so long his other self that his | loneliness—his bitter sense of | —was indescribable, and the loss j desire to rush to her and bring her back on any terms. at any cost, time Ss maddening. hour of her absence increased his | love. even against the growing con- viction of her unworthiness.

In thisletter he told me that yielding to my grandmother's entreaties, he had set aside a thous- and pounds when he sold his old business. My grandmother was convinced that evil would come of the new venture, and this money she took, and kept apart as a reserve After her death my grandfather still kept it apart, using the interest in his business,but never touching the principle. It is money untouched by the curse upon the rest—money honestly earned in when ruin came. !a business that could harm no man. “You will not refuse that, Henry?” And he did not.
