necessary that the nuptials should be deferred
beyond the time necessary to make due
preparation In month the wedding took
place at Mr.. Jamieson's house, Mr.. Palette
giving away the bride. do not say that the
bachelor felt no twinges when he saw among
the guests the lovely Mrs Norcross in her
becoming white robes; in fact, he ''thought
seriously" as all such people do while there
remains even the recollection of youth, but
his habits were too fixed. He saw and sighed,

Mrs. Norcross has left New York and gone
to live with her relatives some fifty miles
distant-the place Mr.. Palette can tell, as
he has had occasion to send her few letters.
The personages of our drama are all dis
missed; the curtin begins to fall but voice
is heard, "What became Of the w orld of Wall

calamity, the secret, unfathomable agency in
all human enterprises will remain The World
