Thesoldiers yield the path to the dusty hearse and unpretending train, andthe children quit their ranks, and cluster on the sidewalks, withtimorous and instinctive curiosity. The mourners enter the churchyard atthe base of the steeple, and pause by an open grave among the burial-stones; the lightning glimmers on them as they lower down the coffin, andthe thunder rattles heavily while they throw the earth upon its lid. Verily, the shower is near, and I tremble for the young man and thegirls, who... have now disappeared from the long and shady street. How various are the situations of the people covered by the roofs beneathme, and how diversified are the events at this moment befalling them; Thenew-born, the aged, the dying, the strong in life, and the recent deadare in the chambers of these many mansions. The full of hope, the happy, the miserable, and the desperate dwell together within the circle of myglance. In some of the houses over which my eyes roam so coldly, guiltis entering into hearts that are still tenanted by a debased and troddenvirtue, --guilt is on the very edge of commission, and the impending deedmight be averted; guilt is done, and the criminal wonders if it beirrevocable.
