During our tedious passage to the north I remurked among the steerage gers a man who seemed to keep himself apart from the rest. He wore the uniform of the fout ar- tillery, and sported a ‘s stripes. In the course of the afternoon I stepped before the funnel and entered into conversation with him, learned that he had been an invalid and was sent home from Canada, had the board in London, obtained « pension of a shi!- ling a day, and was returning to a border yil- lage, where he was born to ascertain whether any of a family were living from whom he had been separated for nineteen years. He ca- sually admitted that during this long interval he had held no communications with bis rela- tions; and I ect him down accordingly as sume wild scapegrace, who hed stolen from heme, whose happinere his foliies bad compro- mised too often. He showed me his discharge, his character was exeellent, but it only wen‘ wo prove how much mea’s conduct will oak a the circumstances under which they act. e had been nineteen years a soldier—a man “under authority’’—obedient to another's will, subservient to strict discipline, with searcely a free ageney himself—a contented and happy man. He returned home his own master, and older by twenty years Alas! it was a fatal free agency for him, for time hal not broughd wisdom. ‘he steward told me he had run riot while his means allowed it, has missed his passage twice, and had, on the pre- ceding evening, came on board whrn not a shillieg remained to waste in drunken dissi pation. I desired that the poor rowe should be supplied with some little comforts during the voyage, and we landed at Berwick gave him 2 trifling sum to enable him to reach his native village where, be had obtained intelli- gence, some aged members of the family might still be found. A few evenings afterwards I was sitting in the parlor of one of the many little inns I yie- ited while rambling on the banks of the Tweed, when the waitress informed me that « “‘soger was spearin’ after the Colonel.”? He was directed to attend the presence, and my fellow voyager, the artilleryman, entered the chamber, and made his military salute “TI thought you were at Jedburgh !”” “I went there, sir, but there had not been any of my family for many years residing iz the place. I met an old packman on the road, | and he tells me there are some persons in this village of my name. I came here to make iu- quiries, and hearing that your honor was ic the house, I made bold enough to ask for you” * Have you walked over?”* “Yes, sir.” “Its a long walk. Go down and get sume supper before you commence inquiries.” he soldier bowed and left the room, and presently the host entered to give me diree- tions for a route among the chevoits, which I had contemplated to take the followingday. I mentioned the soldier’s errand. “Sure enough,” returned the host, “there are en auid dacent couple of the name here. What is the soger called ?”’ ‘William,’ I replied ; for by that name is discharge and pension bill were filled up. “Pll slip across the street to the auld folk,”” said Boniface, * and ask them a few ques- uions.’” The epitode of humble life that fullowed was afterwards thus desciibed to me by umy hort. die found the sncient couple seated at the fire, the old man reading a chapter ip his j Bible, as was a custom always before le ro- j tired to rest. The landlord explained the ob- ject of the soldier’s visit, and inquired if any of their children answered the eudation of the wanderer. “It isour Jack !”’ exclaimed the old woman | passionately, ‘and the puir ne’or-do-weel has came hame to close his mother’s eyes.”’ “ No,”’ said the landlord, “the man’s pame is Wolly.” * Them he’s nae our bairn,”? returned the old man with a heavy sigh, “Weel, weel—His wil. be done !’’ said his helpmate, turning her blue and faded eyes to heaven; “I thoaght the prayer I so often made wud be granted. and Jack wud come hame and get my blessin’ ere I died.”” ‘He bas! he has!’’ exclaimed a broken voice, and the eoldier, who had followed the | land unperecived, and listened at the cottage door, rushed into the room and dropped kneel- ing at his mother’s feet. For a moment she turned her eyes with a 4xed and glassy stare upen the returmed wanderer. Her hand was laid upon his head—her lips parted, as if about to proneunce the promised blessing— but no sound issued, and she slowly leaned forward on the bosom of the long lost prodig: who clasped ber in his arms. “Mither! mither! speak and bless mo!” Alas! the power of speech was gone forever! Joy, like grief, is often fatal toa worn out frame. The spirit bad calmly id away—the parent had lived to see and bless her lost son, end expire in the arms of one, who, with all his fauits, appeared to have been her earthly favorite.”’ 2 oe THE BIRTH-DAY DRAWING-ROOM. A lady, under the signature of “* Verbepa,”’ has pubiished in the London Times the follow- ing graphic description of a royal “ drawing- room :” ‘ You inserted, after the last levee, one or two letters expressive cf the sufferings t) which the male victims of loyalty were ex- sed upon that occasions. I trust that you ave sufficient gallantry and humanity in your disposition not to refuse a place to a similar ery of distress from a lady, who has endured atill more cruel disappointment and disaster ia her endeavors to display her devotion to her beloved sovereign at the drawing-room, for which object Icame up on purpose from my place in the country. In olingy wake ou more fully appreciate my fee! under ine scene which I sha!l describe, I mast fir-t ive you a brief sketch of these with which I first approached the building which bears the well-sounding and storied name of St James's Palace. My ideas of a court—taken, 1 must confess, rather from books and descriptions than from experience—were rather imagina- | tive. Ihad in my head a kind of gorgeons Paul Veronese picture of magnificently dressed persons, moving with measured step, a stately demeanor and a courteous and dignified dec) - rum, through lofty halls, occasionslly pausing with a pleased but somewhat solemn aspect, to hold snort but interesting conversations in | picturesque groups, admiring the splendors :f the place, and commenting upon the peautiful objects collected there, till at last, on arriving, | gradually and at leisure, in the presence of their sovereign, they found ber on a slightly raised dais, with her princely consort, immi- diately surrounded by the princes and prix- cesses of her fa and counections, sup- potted on each side, in a gradually descending | That the! series from the steps of her throne, by all her at ministers and officers and ladies of riefly conversing with those who presented ‘themselves in the somewhat formal Cirele ; who, slowly passing by, after brief words of courtesy from such of illustrious g:oup as chose go to distinguish them, dispersed them- selves Nips apartments sbpleta with ev elegance and comfort, to coverse together, ad- mire one another's dresses, and otherwise | arise themselver, till it suited thei to call for their carriages, and go My only apprehension waa, lest a somewhat awful fo:- | Beaven to be biue as ever—O it mality and ceremonious reception mght be | Tather alarming to one nnaccustamed to sol- ema ts and royal conyersation.

This excellent Famtiy and News Journal—cea} can be found in any other—is published on Sature day morning. e ommissiowae twenty bee agents will beaowes Was surprised to find myself, instead of enter- ing the spacious hail which Thea anticipated, by asmallish kind of back door, Lato a narrow passage, with a low ceiling, and at the end of a closely packed and murmuring assemblage of persons, apparently well- dressed, no doubt, and with plenty of pretty faces and ly decorated bat so jammed t er, 80 hot (yet liable to rheu- matic draughts of air,) so fearful of their neighbors, with such an expression of almo:t ludicrous anxiety upon thea countenances as to what might Befatl them next, that it was evident they had already entered upon @ ca- reer of condiderable difficulty and danger. As there is a clock inst the wall at the further end of the first division of narrow pas- sage, and asI am rather taller than some of my fellow-sufferers, I was able to perceive that it took three quarters of an bour of short, fitful, pushing movement to arrive at the said end—when a turn round a corner, where sev- eral little skirmishing casuxlties osourred, brought up the tightly-wedged column in an other shorter fragmeut of the passage, whence another abrupt and perilous corner brought us to the foot of the stairs which we had to surmount. Even by this time. I had had a considerable foretaste of pxin and danger, from the sword hilts, spars, and rough clothes fthe gentlemen, tramplings upon my feet, &e., but endured quite as much, I am bound to say, from the elbows, wrigzlings, and reck- less resolutions to be the first of my own sex. At this point, several of the weaker candi- dates, her various attempts to get their smelling-bottles to their noses, and vain ap- peais for a consideration which there were no means of showing, gave in, and slipping out at the sides, or where they could. appeared in fall retreat, a proceed which, by-the-by, materially enhanced the grievenses of the ad- van column. The same “pains and pen+ tltics’’ continued, of cuurse, in an augmented proportion, all the way upstairs. A sucoes- sion of jammings, crushes, and lateral pres- sures, at guarded doors, and across halbreds, through which masses of the “com any”’ were driven ctgctemes & score or two at atime (as they do s! in and out of the fold, when about to shear them,) bore us at length tri- amphantly, though with diminishing strength and clothes, into the narrow, ro; -off avenue significantly t -rmed “ the Pen.” By the time this goal was reached, considerable losses had been sustained in equipments; and few con- tinued to wear that fresh, smart, serene ap- pearance with w they had smilingly left (beir homes. Here, however, as only # cer- ta'n number are admitted at a time—as it is the proximate approach to the Royal presence —a comparative calm prevails; it being abs: - lately necessary to re-adjust one’s costume aud compose one’s Lerves So as to pass at least decently before the Royal line, which. to my dismay, I found, instead of forming the grand spectacle I bad antici » stationed imme- diately after the last door, with a very con fined passage between the lords and grooms in waiting left in front for the approach of the visitors. I had been thinking how I should best compose my attitude while detained in the presence of Majesty; but aimsll leisure was now left for such solicitudes. * Pass on, Mad- am, pass on’’—in a low solemn voice, not the les: impressive for being delivered in the sup- pressed tone of hulf-articulate awe befitting the place and oecasion—were the only words which fell on my eur as I burried past. I had been known to some of the Royal persons, foreigners and others, who were standing there, and they graciously began some sentenees to me; but the inexorable + Pass on, Madam, pass on;’’ again impelled me forward, and I was hastened beyond ths power of bearing before they bad concluded thom. The same s.ream continued through the gallery beyond us a8 had arrived by the staircase, but un- doubtedly with less pressure, until we once more found ourselves in the very marrow passage by which we had red, for among other ingenious contrivances to - duce difficulty and inconvenience is this, that the route of exit and entrance is the same ; and here, accordingly, ensues a ecene which befiies all description—people dying to make their ese: after hours fatigue and ex- haustion, 'nstead of being dispersed in a large enclosed space, with Plenty of sufas and seats of all kinds, Jammed up at the end of the same long passage while their carriage is be- ing announced at the other; with only one means of egress; pressing and crushing through the throng in a despairing agony at being forcibly detained in a place worthy the pen and pencil of s Dante. For myself, I finaly arrived at home almost with shame end humiliation at the mode in which I had Bey the last four hours, and entirely disa- used of all the ideas I had formed of the beauty, dignity, and courtesy of a court.”’ TEUTH ABOUT DEATH. The common mode of discoursing on this subject, so interesting to every one of us, is so stilted and over our heads, that we are glad to bear Common Sense have his say about it.— Thus sensibly and wisely writes some able man, in the English Review: “Itis a great thing, unutterably awful and thrilli when for the first time in our lives Death the Conqueror makes himself known to us in all the mystery of his might and inexo- rableness. Every day the newspaper has its obituary ; you are well aware that fift people die in a minute; you have been in thee! it of looking up at closed blinds in the street with some sort of awe; and hatchments in the great squares have touched you as might a aronial ruin; a newly-made grave has not been without a voice and a moral; fanerals have intercepted your path in the thorough- fares; people have died next door to you. But even Death next door is death afar off—a Vague distant terror, and not a darkly awful presence. Stand—with suspended reepiration and fevered temples—stand under very flapping of his wings, as the inexorable to breathe the last chill upon the forehead of some beloved res feel that “ solemn sha- dow in which you stand is deepening and deepening ; katel when the ony om > snaj » kneel by the pale corpse e bus! of apes before dawn, with no sounds to be heard but the sobs of passiouate mouroers and the ticking of a clock—kneel, and say to God the “Never more’? of bereaved heart, the “Help, Lord, or I perish !’’ of a soul that is come iuto the deep waters: so stand, so kneel, so cry to the Lord of life, and you will know what death it, and what @ celestial hope may rise at last, luminous and large, out of the blakness of horror in that word—pzap. A si child (says Wordsworth)—a simple cl And fecltits life inevery iim? a 3 ein What should it Know of death z And it is beautifully said. But I was i very long past the age of childhood, before could b: ng myself to believe in dying. To this day, I can with difficulty only, and by a direct mental effort, conceive even of one dan- rously @ 4 ages ! So complete! | ecw sotanly preset fo, even when faint and eye, and glows in the ever go out! — To die: To lie in cold cbstruction and to rot ; This sensible warm motion to bec me A kneaded clod!
