worthy clergyman also arrived and then
alas the house Of joy was turned into the
house Of mourning. The unhappy bride,
whose sands Of life were well nigh run,
was humanely made aware OF her sltua-
ton; the heart broken bridegroom was
also warned that death was In the cup;
and amidst the tears and sobs OF all
present, they were mutually interrogated,
whether, under such an awful dispense
ton of Providence, the proposed ceremo-
ny should proceed or be delayed. A
question SO trying, was perhaps never
put under similar circum stances; and al
ter communing with their own hearts, the
bride expressed wish TO close her eyes
as an affectionate wife, the bridegroom to
discharge the duty of a sorrowing widow
err, by laying the head Of bis betrothed III
the grave. This resolution added not lit

full party approached the couch OF the

had for a moment lightened gradually
waxed glazed and dim; the bridal bed
became the couch of death, and she who,

was stretched lifeless but lovely corpse,
before many Of the wedding party had re-
solved to tear themselves from a scene SO

ANCIENT AND MODERN TINES.
It's no unusual thing to draw comparison between
ladies Of the present day and those who lived Gen.
fury ago; but five go back to the time OF Anna
Bulleyn, the contrast presents what appears almost
a burlesque. At that time very few ladies went to
court The great officers Of state left their spous
es at home, at their magnificent mansions In the
country, to entertain their sporting neighbours.
Madam was then delighted to have snug party
dance in the parlour with the squire and his lady,
the parson of the parish and his spouse, and, per-
haps, the butler and couple of chairs, to make up
the set. She always at o'clock to see break
fast served in the great hall breakfast was then
principal family meal, master, mistress, and servants
all feasted in the same room, not emitting regularly
to relate their dreams of the preceding night The
men after breakfast went to the cellar to drink the
lady to her poultry and dairy, and the young ladies'
to their usual occupations of making their clothes
and stockings, weaving and knitting not being
then known. At 10 they dined in room neatly
strewed with rushes. At they supped this was
their greatest entertainment. Then they amused
themselves with tales and sports until 8, and were
all in bed before 9. Compare this life with mo-

no objections to those enjoying the ele-

promoted by the 100 knots Of thread spun
by Miss Smith, than by all the street yarn
that has been spun these ten years.
