MISCELLANY. 



A VOICE FROM MOUNT AUBURN. 



BY MISS H. F. GOULD. 



A VOICE from Moiinl Auburn ! a voice !— and il said, 

 ■< Ye have chosen me out as ilic home foi the dead; 

 From llie busile of life ye liave rendered me free ; 

 My earih ye have hallowed— henceforth I shall be 

 A w-arden of "raves, u-liere your loved ones shall rest! 

 O, who will be first lo repose on my breast ? 



' I now must be peopled from life's busy sphere? 

 Ye may roam, but the end of your journey is here. 

 I shall call ! I shall call I and the many will come 

 From the heart of your crowds to so peaceful a home; 

 The great and the good, and the young and the old, 

 111 death's dreamless slumbers, my mansions will hold. 



' To me shall the child his loved parent resign ; 

 And mother, the babe at thy breast must be mine! 

 The brother and sister for me are to part, 

 Aud the lover to break from each tie of the heart; 

 I shall rival the bridegroom and take from his side. 

 To sleep in my bosom, his beautiful bride. 



' And sweetly secure from all pain they shall lie 

 Where the dews gently fall and the streams ripple by ; 

 While the birds sing their hymns, amid air-harps, that sound 

 Through the boughs of the forest trees whispering aroimd. 

 And Bowers, bright as Eden's, at morning shall .-pread 

 Aud at eve drop their leaves o'er the slumberer's bed ! 



' But this is all earthly ! while thus ye enclose 



A spot where your ashes in peace may repose : 



Where the living may come and commune with the dead, 



Widi God and his soul, and with reverence tread 



On the sod, which he soon may be sleeping below, — 



Have ye chosen the home where your spirit shall go ? 



'Shall il dwell where the gardens of Paradise bloom. 

 And flowers are not opening to die on the tomb? 

 With the song of an angel a vesture of light. 

 Shall it live in a world free Irom shadow and blight ; 

 Where the waters are pure, from a fount never sealed. 

 And the secrets of heaven are in glory revealed ? 



'A day hastens on, — and an arm then shall break 

 The bars of the tomb,— and the dread trump shall awake 

 The deatl from Iheir sleep in the earth and the sea. 

 And, ' Render up Uiine !' shall the sound be lo me ! 

 Prepare for that hour, that my people may stand 

 Unawed by the scene at the Judge's right hand !' 



From the Preface to Ilendtrson's Collection of Scottish 

 Prorerbs. 

 A COIiLECTOR OP PROVERBS. 

 " An intiinatf IVifiid of our own, a goiuleman of 

 some eccciiti-icity of character, was, at one period 

 of Ills life, a very assiiluons collector of proverbs. 

 He piqueil liiniself not a little upon liis store of 

 proverliial colloquialisms, ami, iti all angtimentative 

 matters, was sure to silence liis opponents, by 

 fairly pouring out to tbem a broadside of proverbs, 

 great and small, light and heavy, ptit and iinpat, 

 no matter which, if he only kept up a raking of 

 this sort of verbal shot. At the time we speak of, 

 it was hii-' custom to note down every proverb 

 which he might hear in the course of conversation, 

 on sli])s of paper, froin which he transferred 

 them to his magnum opus when leisure occurred. 

 In this way there seldom was a card, letter or 

 scrap of paper on his person, but was literally 

 groaning with " rusty sayed saws and |u-overbial 

 rhymes." No bee could be busier in sucking from 

 every flower its pith and flavor, than our collector 

 was in registering, upon his sybilline leaves, the 

 fruits of every day's quest, after these insulated 

 morsels of wit and wisdom. 



On one occasion, he bad been invited to a large 

 party at a friend's house, where there happened to 



be not a few strangers present. Our fricinl, foriu- 

 nately, we think, as the sequel will show, had for- 

 gotten to disgorge his pockets of their multifarious 

 contents. Well, the good things disap|)cared,and 

 the wine followed, and, with every bottle, the con- 

 versation assumed a more lively character. How 

 some misunderstanding with our collector and an- 

 other gentleman at the table arose we cannot well 

 ex|)lain, but certaiidy their words waxed high, 

 atid to such a degree was their dispute carried, 

 that an abrupt termination was put to the festivities 

 of the evening, by the man of proverbs handing 

 over bis card to the stranger. Nothing, of course, 

 was spoken of by the grave part of the conimutii- 

 ty, but, the disagreeable results to which the next 

 morning's dawn must unavoidably give rise. 



Next morning came, and the gentleman began 

 to bestir himself, as, according to the rules of hon- 

 or, he must do, when there is jiersonal injury to 

 he avenged. With the luun of proverbs he was 

 deeply engaged, and to refresh bis memory as to 

 name, and ad<lress, he had recourse to the card 

 put into his hands over night. He looked first 

 at one side, then at the other, but name or place 

 on neither could be found : but in place of that, 

 there was traced in good legible characters — 

 ' .Yothing should be done in a hurrij, but ctdching 



Jims.'' The effect of this was irresistible. Rlr. , 



fill into an incontrollable tit of laughter, ami, with 

 altered feelings from those with which he left bis 

 couch, immediately called upon a mutual I'riend, 

 where such explanations were givenjis to the quarrel 

 of the evetiing before, that a hostile meeting was in 

 a inotnent quashed. Had it not been, however, for 

 this forttmate incident, of proverb gathering, there 

 is no saying bow matters would have ended. We, 

 knowing all the circmnstances, are entitled to say, 

 that, but for this excellent aphorism, one or two 

 valuable lives might have been sacriliced to notions 

 of false honor."
