IT wa0 a pleasant morning in May, when a young man of interesting appearance paused before one of the prir ciya1 churches in a large city. L Can you tell me whether there will be service here to-day P he asked, addressing a coachman, , who was seated upon the box of a carriage which was standing in front of the gate. The equipage was one of uncommon elegancera low, dark chariot of the most graceful form, drawn by black horses, the sombre appearance of the whole being only relieved by the silver mounting of the harness, and the ricllly cut lanterns.

And then, turning to the sexton, he said I in a low voice, Will you hav6 the kindness to tell the clergyman that a person desires to return thanks for recovery fiom sickness I find that I have dropped the notice which I wrote to that effect...
