An Episode.

The ordinary events in human affairs
are supposed to be disposed Of by gener-
al laws; but it sometimes seems as
though there was something peculiar in
the things that happen. Some things
seen to be accidental, while others are
merely incidental, happening a little
out Of the usual course Of things. An
event Of this character usually attracts
attention, and forms an incident or an
episode-a distinct relation or story.
For instance, in a country village like
our own, the fact that there were three
open graves at tho Cemetery last Sun.

our finances are we'll enough, and our
financial condition is well enough, if
