bosom OF this sphere, large enough to bury ii

ing, the very intelligent delivers, weary with
the labors of the day, retired from the spot
hallOwed by the sweat Of their brOws, and
left it ''just sO,' as the newly enfranchsed

the knocking off hour came.
Rather late in the evening, while Mr.. Nc

he found that hole. He was certain it was
4 hole, because one of the horses attached
to his carriage suddenly and mysteriously

great peril of the lives of all it contained.
There was nothing to Indicate the dan
