It Wat surmised that Mr, Ca nute had seen better days ; but though hi means were straightened, hia heart was large, aad hia countenance expressed great benevo lent Notwithstanding the brief mode of speecn wnioa raiarweru uiui vu w vw arans, the advioe of Mr. Canute was easily acnlght on every subject whereon it Was pre sumed advioo could be profitable ; and the cimple rustics of Ambermead perhaps rained k.the more, because, though delivered without a particle of potnpoeity, the terse nee and de cision of the Wonk expended, left an indelible impression, which long sermon often tailed to convey.

But now, although the roses bloomed and the bird sang, serious tatts looked from tin cot tago doors; and while the younger villagers forgot their usual pastimes, the eldera con versed apart in whisper, always directing their glances towards the hall, as if the sufferer within those thick walls could be disturbed ly their conversation.
