" Another circumstance of this calamity, which has not failed to arrest the attention of us all, is the awful suddenness of the stroke, and the ap- palling contrast exhibited between the mirth and happiness of one moment, and the terror and agony of the next. A few evenings since, this hall was lighted up and adorned with the flower of the capital and country- its rank, its talent, its renown, its youth, grace, and beauty. The illus- trious deceased were all here, with hearts beating with the p...ulses of health and of enjoyment, and with their well won honors clustering upon them. Now, they are here, and so! The next day saw them embarked with a large and gay assemblage in that wondrous ship, which seems to possess a conscious vitality, and to move over the waters at the pleasure of its own wizard will. In that vessel, freighted with rank, fashion, and beauty, consecrated for the time to purposes of festivity, as it glides over the sun- ny waters, with Death crouching in its awful den, ready to sprincr on those who dreamed not of his presence, I seem to see an affecting em- blem of the life of pleasure, on which so many thoughdess ones embark, unconscious, as they glide over life's glancing waters, of approachino- doom.
