The number. of Americans has increased

knows thes great majority who are here pay
quite twenty dollars per week for their board,
and many far more than that Indeed, while
that is obout the minimum at which decent
board and lodgings can be obtained here, $50
per week can very easily be spent in that way.
Around Hyde Parkit is but one crowd of gin
shops, tayerns, hotels and restaurats; and
from every prostect now, the environs of the
Industrial Exhibition are to be perfect nui

DYING BEFORE THEIR TIME.-'Do
you not expect to die?' said a thought
full friend to a young lady who was
c~numerating, with great animation,
the pleasures she expecting to enjoy.
81 shall die when my time comes''
was the hippant reply.
"Persons sometime die before their
time"
II do not sec how that can DO
possible, said the careless one, who
left the room in order to avoid fur
Their conversation on an unpleasant
subject.
That many die before their time is
a truth taught by observation and by
the word Of God. There are many
who evidently shorten their days by
their vices. But in addition to the
physical consequences Of some sins,
there is a connection, by the ordina-
ton Of God, between sin and the
shortncss of days. 1t is expressly
said that the wicked shall not live out
half their days. Again, God says to
the sinner, why shouldst thou die
before thy time:?" Gee, vii; IT'D
Who would wish to die before his
time? Who would enter the unseen
world, and stand before an angry God
before his time? Who would wish to
taste of the agonies of tho second
death before his time?
All desire length of days. All on.

them. Cease from sin. Go to Christ
for pardon and for grace, that you
may not die before your time, and

a ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE
Thc Wclshman records the follow

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE
The Wclshman records the follow
ing, as having recently occurred in
the ncighborhood of Cardigan:
"Twcnty-three years ago a young
man, named David Evans, having
paid his addresses to q maiden in the
vicinity of his native town, at the
mouth of the ivy, was despatched
to attend to his duty as q navigator
son the raging main." He started
from Cardiff accordingly in a vessel
named the Berkeley, which, in about
a week after departure, was wrecked
and all hands on board we're plunged
into n watery grave.
For no less than twenty.thrcc
years it was supposed that David
Evans had oeri. d with his com
radcs, but he last week landed at
S]hcrncss, from Australia, where he
had been quietly, but rapidly, accu-
mulating cash in the long interval that
had elapsed since his exodus from
the country; and it was as~cc:tained
that in consequence of a quarrel with
the CAPTAIN Of the Berkeley he had
left that vessel a few days previous to
the fatal disaster which had consign-
cd her and her gallant crew to the
deep.
On Evans arrival at Ca,deigan,
his first inquiry was for his early
love, and he learned that, fully be-
l%icving in his demise, she had become
the wife Of a favoritc sutton, who had
recently departed this life and left her
free to accept the offer which her
former faithful lover now promptly
made her, and which, we need
scarcely say, was at once accepted,
and the nuptial rites in two short
days were happily celebrated.

than ordinary solemnity, being con-
vencd for no less a purpose than the
preservation ofthe body polite itself,
against a p~ersevering and determined

lative bodies, where the public veal

composed solely from that material
