Clergy and Cremation.

Many prominent British elergymen
are considering an addition to the
Episcopal Prayer Book, providing for
cremation. Other elergymen oppose
any such recognition Of cremation by
fire. and advocate intermeut in dry
earth in a wicker easket, or without
any coffin, ayerring that under this plan
bodies are truly eremated slowly, with
out any evil effect to the living, and

STORY OF A CORK LEG.

The love Of sport is ingrained In my
nature; it has been the same with all
my kith and Kin for generations past.
So when received from nay old school
ehum, Tom AIissal, an invitation to
shoot with him on the lst of Septem-
ber, lost no time in dropping him 4
line Of acceptance.
Tom lives at Harrodene, some little
way down + ,stern line.
On the eve of the eventual First, -
with all my traps, | committed myself
to that spaee-destroying bit Of railway
engineering the South Eastern rail-
way.
We had not proceeded far toward our
destination when collision occurred.
a fair amount of paint was rubbed
of some of the carriages, and among
sundry other minor mishaps, my left
leg sustained a compound fracture,
which. after being examined by doc
tor, was pronounced as unlikely to be
of amy further use to me.
The long and short of it was-ampn-
taiion.
Later, I became somewhat Glow
down" in health, and was advised that
a sea trip would be beneficial.
arranged for one, to be taken dur
ing the more severe months.
BY the time the good ship Mytabin
arrived at Durham, in Natal, had be-
come soused 10 my new patent actioned
limb, that had almost forgotten was
its pos.essor, and walked with but the
slightest Of limps.
At one Of the houses at which | had
been entertained ! made the acquaint-
auce Of g AIr. Boleyn, ayoung English
man v ho had a farm, or rather farms,
on the other side of Pletermarilz-
burg, away among the hills.
he had come 70 Dlrban on some
matter Of business, aud before lac re-
turned we saw enough Of each other
to enable as 10 SAY, each 70 the other,

his ease he made the addition; You
must come over and stay with me al
Foaming Falls
"Foaming Fails" was the name he
had given TO his residential farm.
He extracted promise from me to
visit him, and within a week had
met him ia Pietermaritz5urg, to which
place he had driven in his cart to meet
me.
We were soon on the road, and he in
high glee, kept telling me how delight
ed Martha was AT the idea Of having
visitor 50 lately from home
bad not bargained for a meeting
with the womankind, bnt after he had
explained that Martha was his sister,
and mot bad little woman in her
way" | was in a measure reeonciled.
Arrived at "Foaning Falls" Martha
met as on the veranda.
What picture she looked-a figure
Of medium height, with a glory OF
lion tawny hair, pale complexion, with
sufficient embonpoint to suit my taste.
She was dressed in a dark violet
cashmere gown, with deep orange
colored ribbon at her throat. She
looked well, as have saidf a perfect
picture
"No, Isay nothing about her eyes
bat the gaz-lle's are not more limPid
We we're soon seated at the table
and We, Boleyn and myself, at any rate
were hungry after our drive.
Conversation did not lag, however
never the ghost Of a faiter. Her hob
bies, my weaknesses, and Boleyn' anx
iety about lis stock, were all IN turn
trotted out.

"DO you know that man you were

A Big Rather.

Mrs. Morris Lewis, aged 20 years
was visiting her sister, Mrs. A. G. Good
win, in Rich Valley, on Monday last,
and hearing an unusual noise under
the window at the west side OF the
house, began to investigate, and dis
covered big snake with nine rattles,
which he was making sing for all they
were worth. A spring calf stood with
in four feet of the reptile, apparently
unconscious of its danger, but it bad
undoubtedly annoyed the snake, as
there was quite flock of young chick
ems near by and his snakeship no doubt
was longing to make a meal on one or
two of them. But Mrs. Lewis, who
seems to be possessed Of more nerve
than her younger sister, Mrs. Goodwin,
soon dispatched his snakeship, and
Mayor w. H. Howard was hauling it
to town when it was last seen by the
writer, presumably to give it suitable
burial-East Emporium independent.
