ooking around her room she found Loves
wardrobe with letter stating that she must
wear it, for she was soon TO be called away,
md Henry and her were to be united, and
.ver afterwards to be recording and minis
ering angels to ell true hearted lovers. Mary
put on the robe and she perceived she felt
ike a new being not of earth, but as one of
he celestials. ......-r :
A few days after this as she was sweetly
singing to her parents and friends the follow
ing, "Oh!had | the wings of dove, would
by away, &c." she was seen by her friends
to gently ascend as "Eljah of old" and no
more has she been seen by mortal eyes,
lltr friends were lostin amazement; but soon Z
were aroused from their deep thought by
the ringing of many melodious voices watt
ing through the air. Presently they SEEM
ed to be all together, and then they heard Il
clear, smooth, refined voice pronouncing
Henry and Mary to be one as To their OBJ
ject, and now the air was filled with the
rich and melodiouS tones Of the sweetest
notes OF heavenly music, and all went on
their way rejoicing, and soon the sound
grew faint and fainter, till it died away in
the distant retreat of the heavenly arches.--i
The friends were wrapped in silence, and
parted without saying word. s ~
In a few evenings the young gents and
ladies' were assembled to take an evening
promenade, and concluded to stroll towards
The church yard. Whilst measurely tread
ing their way their conversation turned on
the strange disappearance of NJ. Some Of
the young ladies begged them to turn the
conversation to something more cheerful, for
this was too gloomy and sad to ponder over
Just now their attention was directed to a
carriage closely curtained, which was rush
ing wildly past them. 1t was drawn by
two black horses, and on the outside there
were two strange looking objects, which
were chuckling and grinning most horribly;
holding in their hands something which
looked like flesh On the carriage dashed
with these chuckling drivers, and soon the
sound of the rolling wheels sunk heavily on
their ears. The company was now so scared
that each one assumed an ashy paleness,
and at once set off for their homes in 81
lence. At last one of the ladies assumed
courage sufficiently to speak, "remarking
this night had been the strangest that she
had ever witnessed, and the carriage with its
contents and drivers she verify believed were
from the internal regi ,ns, for she noticed a
iglinmering light within, and those drivers
were holding in their hands pieces OF color
less flesh, resembling the checks of a man.
Just us she had finished speaking before
any one had time to reply to her, the same
carriage was seen coming at full speed along
!. the plain. Scarcely had they time to ge
rout OF the road before it was up to where
they were, and those chuckllng drivers rein
ed up their horses and with an unearthly
voice said, "may be you would Ike to take
II ride" Not waiting for an answer, they
gave each other a wink and chopped th"ll
teeth together and gave scream and dash
