white headed veteran came into our office
to advertise his wife He wished it dis
tinctly understood that, as his wife had
left his bed and board without Just provo
cation no one was TO trust her on his ac-
count The advertisement was written
and ready for insertion, but when informed
that it would require one dollar to pay the
expense, the money was wanting. Alter
a diligent search, seven cents were found,
and the would-be advertiser wished us to
lay the notice one side, and he would hunt
up the remaining amount. The SUPPOSE
tion is that he is still hunting, as
the notice is still laid aside, and all the
world still have the privilege of trusting
the wife on the husbands account"

red IN Galveston not long since, where the
rector Of an Episcopal church was stricken
, with death while in the pulpit. AnnOunc'

trembling beneath the weight of his last
message, he referred to the friends of his
youth, and COMMITMENTS of his church

appealing to his people he saw that his
time had come his words struggled foI
utterance; he faltered; his weakening
limbs staggered. A gentleman who ad'
vanced to his assistance was waved back
, For ten minutes more he spoke, his words
only audible to those near him. The eX
citement of the audience was fearful
Three times he struggled to continue, say
, ing, Z" am very sick, but | must say
! Again he staggered. He fell into the ARM
, of friend as he raised his hand to pro
, nounce the benediction. His last pulpi
words were, "To God the Father" Blu
; his tongue refused to speak further; hi
hands dropped He was carried TO hi
; rectory, where he died.
