be taken that the oil be not made hotter

CONC lNTo DEBr.-Going into debt is
not always a necessity, by any means
1t Is a luxury with some people. They
love the excitement; they relish the pi-
quancy of its embarrassmeEts; they in

IN opera, parties, et~c.-becausc it breaks
up the monotony Of everyday life, and
affords them a sensation? This NAV
seem odd enough to those who know
out little OF the social world; but it is
true: For the most inveterate of debt
ors are often those in the receipt of the
handsomest annuel income; and were
their lncomes doubled, they would
squander to eHcess in order to still en-
JOY the delicious difficulties which ever
beset a human being involved in a null

that a afford to go in debt. That is

DEATH or MARTIAL HERO. ames Lennon
died in Troy, N. Y, aged upward of eighty
years. He was o native Of Armagh, in the
North of Ireland, and resided there until 1907,
when he enlisted in the British Army, then
recruiting for Spain. He won't to Spain at the
very commencement Of the war, and continued
to participate in the tolls, the misfortunes, and
the gloriss of the British campaign, until the
last French soldier was driven across the Py-
renees, and finally witnessed the surrender OF
the French at Toulouse. He rstreated with
Sir John Moore upon Corunna, and was pres
ent at the midnight burial of that gallant
chief. When Wellington came to take the
command, he participated in all those sue
cesses which conferred such undying glory
upon the British name. He was at Talavera,
BadsjoS, Salamanca, and at the stormipg OF
st. Sebastian. When the British Army was
released by the, surrender OF Toulouse, Len
mons regiment was ordered TO Canada, and he
thus escaped the honors and dangers of the
field Of Waterloo. He left the army not long
after bis arrival in Canada, and soon after be-
came q resident in Troy.

things he reminds US of DR.. Nettleton. He
does not desire singing after the sermon, and
frequently requests that the congregation will
disburse without speaking word. In some

GREAT SCANDAL IN THE ENGLISH CHURCH,
A case 10 ct present before one Of the English
Criminal Courts that excites great attention
throughout the country. The London Times
Of late date thus states the circumstances: Mr..
Bopwell, formerly Of Brasepose College, OK
ford, is incumbent Of St. Phillips Stepnsy,
where he generally resides, rooms attached to
the school-room being fitted up for his use.
He is married man, with one child; and his
wife,rst the time Of the commission Of the
alleged offsnse, kept school in another part
Of London, whore Mr.. Bonwell occasionally
visited her. The lady implicated in the case
was the daughter Of q, clergyman named
Yorath, living at Newport, in Monmouthshire.
Last year Miss Yorath, then on a visit to
Msrgatc, became acquainted with Mr.. Bonwsll,
who, 1t is asserted, gave himself out as o
Widower, and soon became the accepted suitor
Of Miss Yorath. In December the lady left
Margate, in order, as her friends thought, to
return to Newport; but, instead of doing So,
she remained, it Is said, a fortnight in London,
In lodgings hired for her by Mr.. Bonwell.
There is no necessity for following the steps
of the history; but in May last she paid a
second visit to Margate, and Miss Ames, the
friend with whom she had been staying, per-
oeived that she was pregnant. Indeed, if the
evidence is to be believed, there can be no
doubt that MI. Bonwell seduced the lady
under promise Of marriage.
