"Who talks of Carrie and her
child?' he asked petulantly. 81 am
going now to fetch them home. Or
der the carriage, qnick?' And with
these words, he gave up the life that
had been thus poisoned at the very
root. Euphemia cIa8ped the pale
hands to her heart, and shriekel for
one word Of forgiveness from the lips
that would utter it never ag0in.
The desolate old woman went back
to her apartment, but not to die. She
WAS destined to wear on q feeble,
sickjy life, bat joyfully to meet The
reward Of penitcnco. Months masaa
away, and then, on one Of England 8
brig shtost, 8Dlnniest mornings when
the merry bells We're announcing the
return Of the youthful Prince Of
Wales, John Fen@jck quietly took
his station at the Hall, amid the glad
smiles and tears Of the rejoicing ten
antry, who remembered his childhood
and bis mothers goodness, and had
simpathizol most truly with their
wrong.
The British Consul had made known
to the young prince the story Of john
Fenwick-hal introduced him to his
royal highncss; and the iIoct that
went to England with the prince bore
the new baronet. 1t was worth all
the trouble Of the royal visitor to our
shores to have this one great wrong
so speedily and etie2tually ri8hted.

though not strictly original, is too
good to be lost in oblivion: Gran

straight to to the spirit-world; he
knocked ct the gate of the New
Jerusalem and it was opened unto
him. The books were opened; he
was asked, Did you ever belong to
any secret societY?' To which he
replied, I dido the Changers. ;
Then, sir, you cannot be admitted;

less bit, where the same questions
were asked him by the Devil, and he
again was told to depart. After he
had gone a little way. off he was &C.
costed by the homely ruler of the pit,
when the following propositions were
made: Stranger, said Nick, Il will
