ty; how the day was passed win endsavor to give you
account.
The in clear sky his approach was herald

head peered above the eastern horizon What to do vas
the question asked by every of his neighbor and no
seemed capable Of answering 1t until the church bells
peaed forth their merry STRAIN that to answer
enough and, in company with two Others wsnd-
ed my way to the building known as the Cumberland
Street Methodist Episcopal church. This Ia ca ,acous
house and will contain Thousand souls The church
densely crowded. and in glancing my eye the
arge congregation much pleased with the general
appearance of those who composed it. Those arrAyed
ombre garb Of mourning occupied but small space pro-
portionatey 1t that many hundreds # those who
have lost relatives during the late epidemic have dis
carded altogether the idea Of WEARING black which

speaker progressed his manner became warm and
tied, his face beamed with strange light he gave
course Of his address he passed brilliant eulocium

suffering humanity during the darkest period our his
tory has won for him the greatest Of this
any time might be proud Of Side by side he stood
with the Rev Mr. O'Kef (Cathoc,) and to say this
praise enough.
The day was not all sunshine, for though no cloud
came over the sky yet the brows of people dakened
the sad sound Of the dead march fell on their ears
just as the had completed his course and was sink
