submitted to an odious and miserable
position. the remembrance of his past
military services, showed him to be
every inch a man. Many Of his friends
came in their coaches, and, descending
and going up to Overton, saluted him
respectfully and expressed their SYM
pathy, to which Overton gently re-
turned thanks. At last a very splendid
coach appeared. 1t was magnificently
horsed with four thoroughbreds, and
had outriders, besides two huge foot
men with nosegays. 1t drew up In front
of the pillory, and within 1t sat Lady
Vernon. superbly dressed; and in her
arms she held a very young infant in
great robe Of lace and satin Two
nurses sat on the front seat; and Sir
Thomas saturnine countenance glared
behind Lady Vernons beautiful, triun-
phant face. The coach stopped; and
Lady Vernon. holding the child up in
her arms. directly in front of Overton's
eyes. gave him smile and a meaning
look, as much as to say:
Poor wretch! your inheritance is
gone!"
The crowd. which was never in a
good humor with the Vernons, began
to hiss vigorously. This they appeared
not to mind; but when Kisses were fol
lowed by a shower of stones and
sticks, the equipage rolled OF at the
top of its speed.
At II O'Clock Overton was released
and at once he was exhorting the peo-
pie to fear God and live truly to him
He was not interrupted by the con-
stables who were present, and was
listened to with solemn attention. He
has preached ever since, and has never
again been molested. And when dear

in Outing. These remnants date back
of the apple, and, so far as We can dis

of this wonderful family to become

Sir Peter was delighted at this
