kindness of Capt Andrews. but it oc-
( ours to me now that we never thanked
( the engineer. He stood away down in

A Christian woman was seen going
along the edge of a wood every even
tide. and the neighbors in the country
did not understand how a mother with
so many cares and anxities should

beautiful hymn, famous in ali ages for

From every cumb erins care,

that we will be able to recognize peo-

shall have them all pointed out. You
would not be guilty of the impolite-
ness of having friends in your parlor
not introduced, and celestial polite
ness will demand that we be
made acquainted with all the
heavenly. household. What rehearsal
of old times and recital of stirring

earthly timepieces-have passed, we
shall meet and talk with more heavenly
celebrities than in our entire mortal
state we met with earthly cele brities.
