parish, who is anxious also to marry her ; and ap-

not publish the banns, and the power of publishing

its consecration, the young couple are under the

Among the various institutions which mark the
benevolence of the present day, we have been much
pleased with that of the Anderston Charity School,
in Scotland, a very unassuming report of whose
proceedings has lately been circulated. After the
median of Sabbath Schools in Anderston, it was
observed by the teachers, and other friends of re-
ligion, who attended these schools, that these were
many children and grown up persons attending
them, who could sea- cely read any at all. When
the cause of this was inquired into, it was found to
originate wholly in their circumstances in life ; they
were either orphans, children of poor parents. of
widows, of soldiers, or sailors. Their situation ren-
dered it necessary for them to labour for their daily
bread, and, of course, rendered their attention to
education throughout she day impossible, though it
could have been obtained gratis. From the consi-
deration of these fads, a number of Christian friends,
from the vatious denominations in Anderston, di-
gested a plan for the execution and support of a
school, into which none were to be admitted but
orphans, the children of poor parents, of widows, of
soldiers, or sailors. The hours of teaching were
from eight to ten, in the evening, for five nights in
the week. The school has now continued nearly
