Excerpt from The Journal of an Exile, Vol. 2 of 2
Tions of a village funeral. Across the door of the house hung a black cloth, which just left sufficient space beneath its folds to allow the persons without, a view into the interior of the apartment That was dark and dismal, 'the windows were all closed, and the only light which the cottage received was from the dark ened door and a few wax tapers, which were placed in rude wooden stands, and surrounded an open bier. Within this, I could just see the pale features of the dead person, which were, however, partly concealed by a white pillow, which lay upon his breast, on which was placed the cross. Near the bier stood a small vessel with holy water, and a little brush for sprinkling it. I must acknowledge that my heart smote me when I saw the old mother sitting by the body: I had hoped that these preparations had been made for age and ia firmity. It was not so! Auguste, the young, the hopeful, was dead! And I looked round.
