SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1867.


"Oh, MOI it's only fainting fit, induced
by the sudden G. rnee of temperature, and
perhaps the frs stage of starvation" replied
the DOCTOR sympathizingly. He had for
gotten for the moment his cold maxims of
prudence, and added: "he must be carried to
a room without fire, and placed in COM
Portable bed" i0
The coachman was called in to assist in
lifting the athletic stranger, who was carried
to room in the chamber. where the doctor
administered with his own hands strong
doses of port wine sangaree. The young
man soon became partly conscious, but all
conversation was forbade him, and he sank
quietly to sleep.
He is doing well let him rest as long as
he can; should he awake in our absence,
give him beef tea and toast ad li6itum, said
the doctor, professionally, as he left the
room.
In less than an hour afterwards, DR.. May
wood and his lovely wife entered the gor-
geous church of "the most Holy Trinity"
And the hundreds of fair DANES that en-
tered its broad portals. dressed with all the
taste and magniiicence that abundant wealth
could procure, not one revealed, in grace
and beauty, the orphan bride of the rich
( physician. Her tall, graceful figure was
robed in violet silk, that only heightened

miring eyes followed the faultless figure of
Mrs. haywood, as she moved with uncon-
scious grace up the aisle of the Church, but
none with more heartfelt devotion than the
young, wayward, but generous man who
had recently wed her in spite Of her poverty
and the sneers Of his aristocratic acquain-
! tances.
The stately organ had peaed its last rich
notes, which were still family cchoing IN tue
arches when stranger of venerable aspect
who had previously taken part in the SER
vices of the altar, rose and announced for
his text, the oft quoted, but seldom applied
words of the Apostle BE not forgctful to
entertain strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares.' DR.. May
wood felt his forehead flushed painfully; it
appeared to him for the moment that the
preacher must have known of his want oi
charity toward strangers, and wished to give
MIN public lesson but he soon saw from
the tenor of his discourse that his own guilty
conscience had alone made the application
in his particular case.
