the corner of Webster and Washington

came request for the services of snhs
fIeacner In the convent in Jeffersonyille
ana MISS Funk, still under the direction
OF the prloress, accepted the Situation
ana performed her work well and faith
I During all the time that she was con.
nected withthes convent here as low
sister, those associated with her nnss ~
Speak OF her as a true woman, in Is
strlctests sense of the word. She never
complalned, went strai ght1 forw ard ID
the performanc ce OF the duties that were
assigned to her, and at all times seemed
perfectly satisfied with her life, ana.
IKE the other members Of the noble SIS
Iterhood, she was always ready to sacri-
hce her own happiness and comfort.
and, If necessary, her life, in order to
alleviate the. sufferings of those who
were in distress. S4# ~ s6HasSss ss3sszs
After some time, and for what reason
no one knows, Miss Funk became dis
satisfied with her life, and concluded to
marry. The more she studied about the
charms OF ble-blessedness, the more
she was convinced that she wanted, tn
marry. AS no one knows the secrets of
the human heart, it is only lust to say
that no one has a right to criticise her

and the two people who wantM to
marry were introduced, and in Just fif-
teen minutes contract to cling together
|. /" for better or for worse - was entered
into, and the young sister, with affecting
ssolemnity, bade an affectionate adieu to
the walls OF the convent, hung her veil
on the fence, and launched out on the
stage plank that leads to the good ship
matimony, and she is now gliding down
the river Of life by the joyous light of
the Honey iioonss ka. III
The wedding occurred about fifteen
days since. The gentleman she married
is named AHilerbrand, and he has fer
some time been employed at Arterburn's
place, on the sBreWnsboEo.rosd. This is
a remarkable case, as a sister who once
enters a convent seldom leaves it, but
prefers to leave the world with its Joys,
its sorrows and itsmyriad Of sins be-
hind her. Miss Funk had not entered
the final order Of sisterhood, and if she
saw proper to change the life hat she
had started out to lead with he best
intentions, it certainly is a credit to her
to come out openly and act her part as
she has, and, if she is happy and con-
tented, the world win find no fault with
her eonduct.-LouisUille Courier,Iour-

greeting-oh, it is n grand place for
wooing out here! and Love himself
fingers amid the evergreen shade, and
sheds his blessing about their way.
Elizabeth scarce notes the other two,
but John Carr says, as though musing
to himself and her: 1--we set matters
right how for Ned as we'll as myself.
You see, because of her money he was
too proud to 90 in and win, and she,
although she had mind to be wooed for
love. was yet shy Of her being taken for
her money alone. Then, like a silly
little maid as she was, she must needs
try smiling upon me; but saw through
it all, and that it was but to pique Ned.
Still. all's we'll that ends we'll, and I say
A glorious Christmas to us all. "
They are all four together now, and
the girls kiss each other because they
will not cry: for tears seem to them as
but the natural result of so much JOY.
And Elizabeth feels strong enough
atterward to jim with the others in
singing the angels song of "Peace on
earth" for it is now nearly midnight,
after which she goes to bed and dreams
of the bit of holly she has picked up
early in the evening, and that it is tell
ing her the little story of its life. Moth
ing eventful had come to it more than
to the rest of it's fellows, only the sun
shine, frosts and SHOWS of earth; and
yet it had striyen hard from the hour
of its birth till the day when it was
plucked from its parent stem to be
ready both to give and take at this
most blessed season. 1t said that it
knew Christmas was coming with all
of love, gifts and gladness, and that it
took heart, drawing back from nothing
which should bring about its desired
end and glory. And Elizabeth thinks,
as the glad bells greet her waking, that
her year has prepared Eer likewise for
her Christmas JOY; for does not John
Carr love her but the more for what the
past has brought her?
