The frugal breakfast was over, and the wife and mother was composing her children, and her still beauttiftl face, for the morning devotions, when a sharp ring was heard at the street door, and a course, rough loeking man entered. Morning, sir, was the friendly sal utation ; 1 come to see if you'd go to Jim Crawford's funeral-its this afternoon. Where did lie live, sir, eivily in qtiired the clergyman ; 1. think .1 have not known such a person. Likely-for he never went to meeting; lie lives out on the Gore it's better than two miles. .t will you come to the funeral at two o'clock. Yes, I will try to be there in time. answered Mr. Morris. My dear, said the wife, looking anxiously at her husband, you out:2 not to go so far this chilly day, with your cold ; and you must iot think of walking. I must go, Mary, an( I fear I must walk, for I dare ilt look my1v bill at the livery stable in the Ihee. But :ay children, we will be quict ot.w ; and Clara, dear, -;ou nv rea!. Searcely had the last petiti in of the good man died away, belore an other ring of the door bell starticil the little flock, and a green :hawl ani orange scarf i made their ap pear ance, simultarneously with their owii er, Miss Crump, who was a thin, sharp visaged person with keen hlck eyes, which Seemed always to know if a cap or collar was lput on the least awry ; and everyblty knew. that the thinnest fabric, or the s'u veZt spider, never escaped her vigiace. Miss Crinp wai accom aiid ib her friend Mrs. Drake, who hadl such a severe self-righteo1s expression in her face, that I always felt int her presence, inspite of my' better jat lg ment, that Mrs. Drake was sittii near a very unworthy pertsonI. 11er eyes seemned all the the time to be saying, "' I must anid will d o mnv d ant , however painflul it may he'" and for that matter her lips~ never quar- i* relled with their neighbors. Poor Mrs. Morris lo~oked anxiouts ly at the undusted chairs and tah~es Miss Crump looked wi th her t w. twinkling eyes at Mrs. Mo)rris, and at the same time semed to be stan fling every piece of furniture ini the. toom. Mrs. Drake looked with awful gra tity at her victim for some time, and then she opened those solemn lips and said thait she had called th'at inorning on very important buinesC~. She was very sorry, but her ditty, however painiful, must be peLri):ane'l. She thought it was 1)1opjer that Mr. Morris should be present, as it con terncd him i/atlly. Mr. Morris who had gone to his study, was sumne~Itd fromu his tin finished page, to attend the vitallyv imuportant matter. Mrs. Drake looked at M\iss C'rumpy, and Miss Crtimp twl'nkl at Mlrs. irake, and that la ly c'onlneee : I regret execedingly thait I am calledl here on such ant nlein brrndu ; but you know myI dar f'riendi, that my duity, ho&uwevter pain fuli, miust he performied ; and a-: thiu is a tmaIttr whIichi a heet s tteI i chueb deei~ply, I feel that it wouildl be wrn ini tie to keep silent lon'ir. till thetv steeme e like two tine sa It is re ported, \L. and MLrs. iLor1 ii, tis villaige, th~at 3,01 keecp it YOUr 11611:;C a lIo~ie/C * Cetjw(j 111 ,11 yot ut iltl 4re int the lhabi t of* spewit itlg %%hltoe~e'eiig, witht yf3U3' chl 41ron, ini playing cards.
