neither the circumstances nor condi-

though her departure brings sorrow
and disappointment to the bereaved
family which time alone con heal, but
never fill the place thus made vacant

some complaint. and she went away
much displeased and upset by what
she considered to be the gross rude
ness with which she had been treated
by him.
Next day. Trollope being again on
waiting room duty. two Stalwart young
men appeared. and, having ascertain
ed that they We're in the company of
the clerk who had been in attendance

the door and proceeded TO give \. T..
n most severe thr1shing. The pair to-

when they had sufficiently chastised

most horrible in their ferocity, as when
the violator of the tomb is told that
"he will be accursed of God forever

who will judge the quick and the
dead" There is one which perhaps
will rather provoke a smile. The of

of all the fathers of the Nicene coun-
