in his will, that unless his son complied with
this he should be cut short in any of his
estates, which were worth 100000 sterling.
The ashes remaining from the body were
taken up and put into silver urn for that
purpose. The reason that Mr.. Laurens gave
for this singular desire was that bis body was
too good to be eaten by worms
A foot-note, however, in Chadwick's "Report
on Intramural Interment" states that Henry
Laurens, having an infant child die Of small
pox, when the body was laid out, caused the
window to be opened to admit fresh current
of air. The air blowing over the body re-
stored the child to life, and in this manner it
barely escaped being buried alive. So horror
stricken was Mr.. Laurens at this event, that
he left orders in his will for his body to be
burned, and the inheritance of his estate by
his son was made conditional on his carrying
out the request. 1t is impossible to find the
details of the burning so far, but gentleman
remembers to have read them years ago in an
English book. The funeral pile was erected
on beautiful spot on his plantation. The
body, wrapped as desired in the will, was borne
on the shoulders of four favorite slaves and
laid upon the pyre, when incense and per-
fumes were thrown upon it, After the fune.
raj services were held beside it, the flames
were kindled, and when the pile was burned,
the ashes were collected and placed in silver

Her glance was so pleading, hertone so full
of chid-like, wistful entreaty, that Charles
felt, at that moment, ready to do anything
she might ask. He drew her closer to him.
"Tell you the truth, Elsie?" he exclaimed.
"Well, the truth is, that you are just the
dearest, sweetest little piece of perfection l
ever saw, and to please you I'll make any
confession you like, even at the risk"
But Elsie, with a cry, suddenly started
away from him, and stood petrifed, every
trace of color banished from her dimpled
cheeks. There, not six yards off, stood her
mother, who, for certain reasons of her own,
had thus unexpectedly sailed forth this after
noon to meet Elsie on her way home.
