She was very pale, and her voice
trembled as she made the responses,
while from time to time during the

that majestic presence to enter and
again strike terror into her sinking
heart.
But 1t was over, and she and Travis
Meredith had been made one, although
no guests had been hidden to the feast,
and only she and Avice wished each

On Avice's cheeks faint rose flush

The first member of the board of
aldermen who wants to pull the tail
out OF the British lion might do so
by changing the names of some of
New Yorks streets. The board Of
aldermen have the power of changing
the names of streets at their own
sweet will This being the case, it
seems strange that the men most
prominent as Tories or Royalists at
the time of the revolution are honor
ed by having some of the principal
thoroughfares of the city named after
them.
Oliver Delaney was arrested by the
liberty boys as traitor, yet we have
four streets recalling and perpetuating
his memory-Delancey and Orchard
streets, which ran through the Delan-
cy farms, and James and Oliver
streets, both complimentary to two
members of the family, who were
traitors to the cause of liberty. Will
liam Bayard was a Tory merchant and
an ancestor of Thomas Frances Bay
ard. Bayard and Hester streets, which
still remain such, were named after
him and his daughter. Thomas Bar
clay, traitor who fed to Ncva Scotia
to escape Imprisonment and execution,
was a clergyman of Trinity church, the
hotbed of Toryism, and Barclay street
still bears his name. Lindley Murray,
the Tory grammarian, has his name
perpetuated in Murray street. John
Moore was deputy collector of GUS
