Just at the door, the lawyer of the place passed inteuthe office before on a similar errand. " Well, doctor," said he, " 1 believe I am indebted to you, aud I should like to know how much."

The lawyer paid his bill and passed out, when the doctor turned to the young woman, and kindly inquired her errand.

It is not here the solemn shades of forests, the majestic course of rivers, the mountains wrapped in eternal snow, that excite oar emotion. A few drops ef vegetable iniee recall - to our minds all the powerfulneas and fe cundity of nature. On the barren flank of a rock grows a tree with coriaceous and dry leaves. Its large woody root can scarcely penetrate into the stone. For several months of the year not a sin gle shower moistens its foliage. It branches appear dead and dried ; but " when the trunk is pierced, there flows from it a sweet and nourishing milk. It ' i ftl iHtifilJJi? of lhawurJhat tbia egsr table fountain is moat abundant.

I do not say he was murdered ; that would imply a design to tola hit lift.. 1 only say that he was killed his' Ufa takeu without any intent. Well, bow was it t A very few words will tell the whole story. Tlie plan for warming the church in w hich he preached, was by a large stove under the gallery, which sent a pipe or funnel forward to within a few feet of the pulpit, where it made a right angle, and ascended perpendicularly through the roof of the house. At the angle afore said, a very large amount of heat would concentrate, and thence radiate. It fol lowed, then, that when the minister preached, he was obliged to breathe a dry, heated, and deoxygenated atmosphere. At every inspiration, the whole speaking upparat us, iueludiug the remotest air-cells i yf 'he lungs, would receive a dash olthis poisonous, burning, gaseous substance. 1 J"c result was inevitable.
