ES TRIPLEX. By H. L. Stkvksson . The changes wrought by death are in themselves so sbsrp and finsl, snd so terrible and melsncboly in thsir consequences, that the thing stands alone in man's esperienoe, and has no parallel upon esrth. It outdoes all other accidents because it is the last of them. Sometimes it leaps suddenly upon its victims, live a Thug; sometimes it lsye a regular siege and creeps upon their citadel during a score of years. And when the business is done, there is sore havoc made in other people's lives, and a pin knocked out by which many subsidiary friendships hung together. There are empty chairs, solitary walks, and single bed at night. Again, in taking away our friends, death does not tike them sway utterly, but leavea behind a mocking, tragical, and soon intoleiable residue, which must be hurriedly concealed. Hence a whole chapter of sights and customs striking to the mind, from the pyramids of Egypt to the gibbets and dule trees of mediaeval Europe. The poorest persons bsve s bit of pageant going towsrds the tomb ; memorial stones are set up over the least memorable; and, in order to preserve some show of respect for what remains of our old loves and friendships, we must accompany it with much grimly ludicrous ceremon.al, snd the hired undertaker psrades before the door. All this, snd much more of the same sort, accompanied by the eloquence of poets, has gone a great way to put humsnity in error; nsy, in msny philosophies the error hss been embodied and laid down with every circumstance of logic ; although in reel life the bustle and swiftness, in leaving people little time to think, hsve not left them time enough to go dangerously wrong in practice. As s mstter of fsct, although few things sre spoken of with more fesrful whisperings tbsn this prospect of death, few have less influence on conduct under healthy circumstances. We bsve all hesrd of cities in South America built upon the side of fiery mountsins, snd how, even in this tremendous neighborhood, the inhabitants are not a jot more impressed by the sol emnity of mortal conditions than if they were delving gsrdens in the greenest corner of England. There sre rerenades and suppers and much gallanty among tb myrtles overhead ; and meanwhile the foundation shudders underfoot, the bowels of the mountain growl, and st any moment living ruin may leap sky-high into the moonlight, snd tumble man and bis merry making in the dust. In the eyes of very young people, and very dull old ones, there is something indescribably reckless and desperate in such a picture. It seems not oradible that respsctsble people, with umbrellas, should find appetite for a bit of supper within quite a long distance of a fiery mountain; ordinary life begins to smell of high-handed debauch when it is carried on so close to a catastrophe ; and even cheese and salad, it seems, could hardly be relished in such circumstances without sometbiug like a defiance of the Creator. It should be a place for nobody but hermits dwelling in prayer and maceration, or mere barn devils drowning care in a perpetual carouse. And yet, when one comes to think of it calmly, the situation of these South American citizens form) only a very pale figure for the sake of ordinary mankind. This world itself traveling blindly and swiftly in overcrowded space, among a million other worlds trsveling blindly and swiftly in contrary directions, may very well come by a knock that would set it into explosion like a penny squib. And what, pathologically looked at, is the human body, with all its organs, but a mere bagful of petards? The least of these is as dangerous to the whole economy aa the ship's powder-magazine to the ship; and with every breath we breathe, and every meal we eat, we are putting one or more of them in peril. If we clung as devotedly as some philosophers pretend we do to the abstrsct idea of life, or were half m frightened ss they make out we sre for the subversive accident that afds it all, the trumpets might sound; by the hour and no one would follow them into battle -the blue-peter might fly at the truck, but who would climb into a sea-going ship? Think (if these philosophers were right) with what a preparation of spirit we should affront the daily peril of the dinner-table : a deadlier spot than sny battle Held in history, where tbe far greater proportion of our sncestors hsve miserably left their bones ! What woman would ever be lured into msrrisge, so much more dangerous then the wildest sea? And what would it be to grow old? For, sfter a certain distance, every step we take in life we find tbe ice growing thinner below our feet, and all around us and behind us we see our contemporaries going through. By the time s man gets well into the seventies, his continued existence is a mere miracle ; and when he lays his old bones in bed for tbe night, there is an overwhelming probability that he will never see the day. Do the old men mind it, as s mstter of (act? Why, no. They were never merrier; they hsve their grog at night, and toll the raciest stories ; they hear of the death of people about their own sge, or even younger, not as if it was a grisly warning, but with a simple childlike pleasure at having outlived some one else ; snd when a draught might puff them out like a sputtering candle, or a bit of a stumble shatter them like so much glass, their old hearts keep sound and unaffrigbted, and they go on, bubbling with laughter, through years of man's age compared to which Bslaklava was ss safe snd peaceful as s villsge crioket-green on Sunday. It msy fairly be questioned (if we look to tbe peril only) whether it wss much more dangerous feat for Curtis to plunge into the gulf, than for any old gentleman of ninety to doff his clothe- and clamber into bed. Indeed, it is a memorsble subject for consideration, with what unconcern and gsyety mankind picks on along tbe Valley of tbe Shadow of Death. The whole wsy is one wilderness of snares, and the end of it, for those who fear the last pinch, is irrevocable ruin. And yet we go spinning through it all, like a party for the Derby. Perhaps the reader remembers one oftte humorous devices of the deified Caligula : bow he enOQBltaged a vast concourse of holiday-makers on to bis bridge oyer Baiae bay ; and when they were in the height of their enjoyment, turned loose the Praetorian guards among the company, and bed them tossed into the eea. This is no bsd miniature of the dealings of nsture with ths transitory race of man. Only, what a checkered picnic we have of it, even while it lasts! and into what great waters, not to be crossed by any swimmer, God's pale Praetorian throws us over in the end! (Continued next week.)
WASHINGTON LETTER. Wasuington, D. C, Jan. 27, '02.
The democrs's of the House of
Representatives held their long deferred csucus on Friday evening,
and, under the skillful guidsnce of
Mr. Richardson and other demo
cratic leaders, determined upon s
policy whiph it is believed will prove most effective, not alone in
furthering the inteiests of the party,
but also in stemming the tide ol
plutocratic legislstion wnich it is
expected the republican majority
will attempt to impose upon tbe
country. Some oi tbe members did
not consider it within the province
of thsukiug tbe admiral "for his brave and able conduct while in command of the Americsn fleet at the victorious bsttle of Ssntisgo," snd presenting bim with a sword, but ths opposition was on the alert
snd, despite Senator Mason's protests, Senator Hsle insisted upon tbe reference of tbe resolution to the
committee on Nsvsl Affairs, where
there is every resson to believe it will be buried.
