OloWitto Or D.--1 Stlllped It takes same time to series
at the cony.ctios, but I bare cows to it at last, that
there are few things so dimaresable in life as growing
old. Now, although, as I have said, the knowledge

somehow the real acknowledgement to one's self always
course with a shock. You bear • certain stiffness in
your back sinews, and a general grogginess about your
ankle-joints for years. You take to soft hair-brushes,
and avoid draught*, and esabew acid wines, by a pro-
use no smooth and frictionless as not to he recognised.
You exchange your flippant mare, with • tendency to
shy and • general skittishness, for a stout cob of fourteen
hands, an easy mover, and quiet to mount. You accept
your dinner invitations with • more discriminating re-
gard for the cook than the company; but you do all
I these things so gradually as to be imperceptible. It is ,
only when you have overheard • osbman speak of you
I as the "old gent what saes his two bob," or when •
very fresh young lady asks what sort of damns were in
vogue when you were young, that suddenly a new light
breaks in on you, and an induaribelde sense of terror
shoot, through you at the thought that you have really
rounded the " Tattenhans" corner of existence, and have
b--gon the "run home." Not that, even then, you fully
realise all the horrors of the situation. Much is ascribed
to the ignorance of the critias ; but you go home, car-
tainly, with that pouted rents that there is a problem
to be settled, • doubt to be resolved, which, until that
moment, had never given yes even • paring uneasiness.
It is like something the parson has said in the errmnia,

how you may, from that time forward you us an altered
man. Of course, you make no admissions to the world
at large of changed sentiments. The law of England
declares no man is bound to criminate himself, and you

I We thank it right at tide time to set forth this subject.
I as the honest Protostent Churchmen of Donetshire are
about to units in offering a practical noisier-es to the
Romanixing influence, which is threatening this part of
the country. Lord Shafteebury in his well known speech
last .resio. on his "Clerical Vestment'. spoke
than, "I did not know until I had received se•ounte
from many pails of Dorset that the farmers could be so
painfully excited Sc they were by these ritualietic
observances. I should not like to repeat the longues.
used on ths subject ; it was, indeed, of the strongest
description, and no one could hear it without feeling
that if these practices are continued, the farmers a
England, instead of being, as they always have been,
the friends, will become the bitterest opponents of the
Established Church."
Un•ble, in their isolatsd pariahs., to contend stainat
the load infinence that may be brought to support Mite
Ritualtsm, we treat that the farmer. of Dorset will
avail themselves of the Church ALssocetion, which,
while lighting the Protestant battle in Perlisinent, and
the Court. of Law, is ever reedy to give every parishioner
the very best legal advice gratuitously, and supply all
its members with important information on °hunch
matters. We believe that a brighter day is dawning
upon our church. Truth sod error only have to stand
out in the light to show their real colours, and the
triumph of the forunir, and the din's*, of the baler. I.

slightly bent. He admitted he gave the children the

habit of giving children money when he was out for •
walk. The prisoner'. trousers were very wet when he
was arrested, and he amounted for it by saying that he
was in the habit of stepping into the water when he
went out for • walk. There was blood on the trainees,

judge.

at Messrs. Clements' office, said that the prisoner asked
him whore child it was. Witness told him Mr. Adams's.
