The Fatal Street Corner.

In a Nova gcotia town lived an old man whose wife had recently died, leaving blm in a comfortable house Vith no one to look after him. He soon began “lookin’ round” fer a second helpmaite\ and settled on a widow, Whose status as a housekeeper for her former spouse was well established. The old man had but one objection to her.; she was a Methodist and he had been a devout Presbyterian all his life. “It’s all right but for that one thing,” he confided to his crony, when they fell to discussing this drawback." “Come week days, she will be fine, I’m a-thtnklng. She can keep me tidy, mind the house, and, man, ye know she can cook. But then.” and he shook his head doubtfully—“then will come Sunday. Wa will be starting off to church together, lust as husband and wife should be doing on the Sabbath day, and we Will come to the corner. Then Mandy, she will he turning to go down the street to that Methodist place, and I will go en to the house of God alone!”—Lippineott’s Magazine.
