that the main feature that would have given it

pended till June, 1858. We perfectly willing give
the law fair trial, but at the same time sup

along a carpeted passage, tapped softly at
the door Of the chamber Of sickness-aye
of death.
"Welcome, DOCTOR" said the sivery
voice of lady, who sat by a low couch,
partially hung with white draPery. "Wel'
come the dear sufferer is now IN quiet
slumber-but must presently awake, and
one of her first inquiries will be for you"
"How is your sweet Lucy now ?"
"She has been quetand apparently com.

"And is poor Edwards gone at last to

the gentle lady covered her face and wepc.

RESPECT TO THE DEAD IN PARIs.-A
common practice in Paris, which mpres.
ses stranger iavorably, is that of lifting
or taking off the hat as funeral passes.-
This is observed by all classes. A little
while since, (says a writer,) | noticed
a small funeral train moving in he direc.
ton Of the Madeleine. Evidently the
one borne to burial was OF the humblest
class, for the body was followed only by
a few workmen in blouses and women
without bonnets. As it passed on hats
were taken off by the well dressed crowd,
sitting or moving on the walk, by gentle.
men in carriages with lootmen in golden
Iiyeries, and by men driving their water.

OUR IMITATION.

Al hail the traitors song!
Whose infamy we quote,
His heart is black with hate.
And a lie is in his throat.
A pirates hagis his,
Red with the curse Of shame.
lie rides the waves OF scorn,
And meanness is his fame.
Raise high the gallows now,
And twine the hempen string,
Then hoist the traitor up,
And give him room to swing.
lie earns the culprits doom,
Jack ketoh receives his own.
The crossroads mark his grave.
And stake shall keep him down.
Unfurl the proud old flag,
And let it wave on high,
/. floats DER Freedoms home,
And sweeps through Freedom sky
No hand shall tear it down:
Heroes have nailed it there
Heroes shall keep It's starry folds
Forever in the air.

Clarence Hamilton was pursuing his
studies at a distant College, and the letter
which summoned him to c., had
scarcely intimatcd danger in the illness ot
his betro,hed. |, had been delayed on the
way, and but half the time OF lis Journey
had suficed to bring the eager, anxious
student to the spot where his heart had
stored its affections, andcontered its hopes,
next to Heaven, for Clarence was more
thana noble. hearted, high.souIed man he
was disciple OF Jesus Christ and he was
getting himself to be an apostle Of his
holy religion. He had nearly completed
his course Of studies, and was then to be
united to the beautiful Lucy May.
/ Three months Before the Sabbath even.
ing Of which we write, Lucy was in health,
and with her companion Ellen, was per.
forming her delightful duties as Sabbath
School Teacher. Returning home she was
exposed to a sudden storm Of rain, and
took cold. Her constitution, naturally
weak, was speedily affected, and consump.
ton, that terrible Toe Of youth and beauty,
seized upon her as another victim for its
mighty holocaust Of death. At first the
type OF her disease was mild, but within
three weeks it had assumed fearful cbal.
acter, and now hes days were evidently
fer.
For this dreadful intelligence Clarence
was not prepared. He learned, but he
hoped more, and though his heart was
heavy, hope kindcd bright smile in his
manly face, as he entered the little plrlor,
where he had spent so many hours in eX'
ouisilo happiness. He had aligbted from
the stage Just before it entered the village,
and proceeded at once 10 the residence OF
Lucy.
As Mrs. May entered the room, the
smile on his lips faded, for her pale face
told a sad tale 10 his heart.
"Clareuce, dear Clarence you have the
welcome of fond hearts"
"How is Lucyl Why your face dead.
ly pale Oh, say, is she not dangerously
lin tell me"-and thought ofmlsery en-.
tered his heart "she is,-ob, my God,
my Father in Heaven, strengthen me-
she is dying,--eyen now, dying"
"Nay, nay, Clarence" said the mother,
soolhingly, "Lucy lives, and we must hope
for the best; but be moi alarmed if you see
her face even paler lhan.my own. Are
YOU able 10 bear the sight now!"
There was but little consolation to his
fears in the reply of Mrs. May. Lucy
was living, but there was an anguish in
the expression,--"hope for the best" and
he said hurriedIy, "oh, take me 70 her al
once, now" and he pressed his hand on
his ihrobbing brow, and then sinking on
his knees, while Mrs. Nav knelt beside
him, he entreated God, in voice choked
