A brother of Miss Mary Wyatt, whom it has been reporte1 that the Rev Newman Hall in- tends to lpsslry, writes a letter to an English newspaper to say that his sister is not the per son whom Mr. Hall has selected for his second wife. He says that his family opposed his sisters intimacy with MT. Hall, but only be- cause he was nonconformist clergyman, and of her correspondence with him the brother says:
 "A word upon the fact of their correspond ence being carried on in cipher Mr. New man Hall was very busy man he was mas ter of shorthand, and he soon found that vol luminous correspondence (they wrote once week to each other and at lcngth) upon all sorts of topics-religious, literary and artistic made too great demand upon his time; he therefore sent an alphabet, with directions, to my sister, who presently became nearly as | proficient as Mr. Hall himself in this rapid | and ready method of writing Thls was per | fectly well-known to all of us-there was no secrecy about It. The reason for it was given, and deemed sufficient.

As the trials of life thicken and
the dreams Of other days fade, one BY
one the deep vista Of disappointed
hope, the heart grows weary Of the
struggle. and We begin to realize our
insignifcance. The men who climbed
the pinnacle Of fame, or revel in
luxury and wealth 60 to the grave 1t
last with the poor mendicant who begs
pennies by the way side, and like him
are soon forgotten. Generation after
generation, says an eloquent modern
writer, have felt as We feel. and heir
fellows we're Is sctive in life - ou.s
are nov. They passed - . vapor,
while nature wore the same aspect Of
beauty ~ when her Creator COM
manded her to be. And 90 Likewise
shall it be when We are gone. The
heavens will be % bright over our
graves ~ they are now over our
paths; the world will have the same
attraction for offspring yet unborn
that she once had for ourselves. and
that she has for our children. Yet .
little while, and all this will have
happened. Days will continue to
move ON. and laughter and song will
continue To be heard in the chamber
in which We died and the eye that
mOurned for us will be dried, and
will glisten with joy. and even our
children will cease to think Of Ne,
and will not remember to lisp our
names.-fExchange.
