icut, for the purpose Of supplying his table
with venison. He prided himself on the
strict and literal fulhlment of his word
On one occasion he had lawsuit with one
of his neighbors, before a justice of the
peace, in which he was cast and ordered
to pay ten shillings damage, and shilling
as the fees of the court. He paid the ten
shillings, and asked the justice whether he
would allow him to pay the remaining shil-
ling when he next passed his door. The
magistrate readily consented, but from that
time old Ccmstock never went by his house.
Whenever he had occasion to go to church,
or TO any other place, the direct road to
which led by the Justices door, he was
careful to take lane which passed behind
the dwelling, and at some distance behind
it. The shilling remained unpaid up to the
day of his death, and it was found that in
his last will he had directed that his corpse
should be carried by that lane to the place
of interment

riches will never retard her ascent to heav-

time to meet her sight. A piece of lace
was magnl6ed into salmon net, flea was
metamophosed into an elephant, and other
marvels performed before the venerable
dame, who sat in establishment, staring open
