sion, Beaucliamp speaks of his wife, and she
in turn, seems to have felt the most unshusi-

lier-her champion and the champion of in
jured virtue everywhere; and in her steady
refusal to out!ive him, she showed the con

Lucretia. @
After his conviction, she spent much time
with him, and in the hope Of. dying together
they both took poison, which, however, prov

rising From the hour marked at the top Of
the page you will naturally conclude that
my companions are not now engaging my at

''But the morning itself, few people, inhab-

Among oil our good people not one out of
thousand sees the sun rise once in year.
They know nothing Of the morning; their
idea of it is that part of the day which comes
after a cup of coffee or piece of toast.
with them morning is not a new issuing

II never thought Adam had much the adj
vantage of us for having seen the world when
it was new The manifestations Of the pow
err of God like his mercies, are new every
morning and fresh every moment We see
as fine risings of the sun as ever Adam saw,
and it's risings are az much of Il miracle now
as they were in his day. and think a great
deal more so; because it is now part OF the
