Where's your husband y

YOUR HuSDduu
There, sir! and she pointed to the aston
ished barber; there he stands. Here is my
marriage certificate, which you can peruse at
your leisure. My servants yonder were wit
nesses of the ceremony. Now detain me sir,
one instant at your peril
The warden was dumb-founded, and no
wonder. Poor Philan would have spoken,
but neither party would let him. The law
yer below was consulted. The result was
evident. In half an hour Lady C. was free
and Pat Philan, her legitimate husband, a
prisoner for debt to the amount of forty thou
sand pounds.
Well, sir, for some time Pat thought he
was in dream, and the creditors thought
they were still worse. The following day
they held a meeting, and finding how they
had been tricked, swore they'd detain poor
Pat forever. But as they well knew that he
had nothing, and wouldn't feel much shame
in going through the Insolvent Court, they
made the best Of bad bargain and let him
out.
Well you must know, about week after
this, Paddy Philan was sitting by his little
fire and thinking over the wonderful things
he had seen, when as sure as death the post
man brought him a letter, the first he had ev-
er received, which he took over to a friend of
his, one Ryah fruitseller, because you see
he was no great hand at reading or writing,
to decipher for him. 1t ran thus -
Go to Doneralle, and marry Kathleen
O'Relly. The instant the knot is tied, full
fiji my promise to make you comfortable for
life. But, as you value your life and liberty
never breathe syllable of what has passed.
Remember your in my power, if YOU tell your
story. The money will be paid to you, di-
rectly you inclOse me your marriage certif-
cate. Isend you fifty pounds for present ex-
penses. c.
Oh happy Paddy Didn't he start next
day for Cork, and didn't he marry Kathleen,
and touch a thousand pounds Sure he did.
And, what is more, he took cottage, which

REFUSAL OF CHRISTIAN BURIAL TO THE
SON OF A DISSENTING MINISTER The
London Patriot of Nov. 30 contains a
long and painful narrative OF the conduct Of
a clergyman in the city of Wells, whose
views of duty. under the circumstances
stated, have occasioned considerable ex-
citement in that neighborhood. Such
conduct cannot fail to strengthen sectarian
feeling. under the influence of which char,

On the following day, clergyman of the

inquired il her late son had been baptised.
