Tbore will be no more monuments in the old church, and, lu course of time, the desecrating band of the city architect will remove the venerable stones and the monuments, to make room for a new street, or to build- new city offices. But foremost among the tombs at present Is that of old Alderman Sowerbutts. St. Ethelred's is. as an uneduoated desoriber might fairly put it. two churohq* side by side. .The raotn* dpturtegftt! sit in the right hand^boWb, wMenni the altar, and in the north side stand the tombs, except a few of the older ones, whloh are.in the south wail.

By his will he directed that the tiulk of his fortune should be expended in tho maintenance, first, of bouses for the reception of twelve widows of livery men from his own guild and secondly, of a school where twenty boys ana twenty girls, born in the parish of St. Ethelred, should reoeive a sound Protestant education, free of all charges. This was very noble, and pleased everybody, except the lawful heirs of Alderman Sowerbutts, who, ft) Hons when they Ethel red. There was another provision In the will of the testator, by whioh it was dirooted that the rector of the parish, accompanied by his church wardens, .one of his trustees, the deck, the sohool r, and six of the boys, should, once

A %w months, or even weSkSTllDC*T' her pallid countenance was the vary picture of ruddy health—the delight at tbe school and the .pride onthe household. She was always welcome whereever duty or pleasure led. ber. Diligent, punctual and exemplary in the school room, obedient and'lo vi ng"at home, she Won the hearts of all. But alas! those glowing chceksand lips arenow blanohed by consumption. The voice once so encbaotiDg in laugh and song,Is feeble, husky and broken iv a hollow cough. Let ns approach her couch and gently take hex bloodless hand in our own. Do npt shudder because of its feeble, passionless grasp. The band once so warm and plump Shows its bony outlines, While the cords and torturous veins are plainly mapped upon its surface. The pulse that bounded with repletioB, imparting beauty, vivacity, health and atrength to the system, is delicate to the touch. The enervated heart feebly propels tba thin, scanty blood. Must we lose ber while so young and so fair No. There is relief. But something more is required than the observance of hygienic rules, for eufeebled nature calls for aid anfd she must have It. Administer this pleaasnt medicine. It is invigorating. It allsys the--irritable oougb, improves the sppetite and digestion, and sends A healthy tingle through her whole -Wing. The blood is enriched, tiervous power increased, and tbe heart bounds with a new impulse. Her face brightens—the blood to returning, her voice to clearer, and ber requests are uo ldnger delivered in that peevish, fretful tona so deadening to sympathy. Her step is still faltering, but strength Is rapidly returning. Let us take hor out in the warm, life giving sunshine. In a few. weeka she will go without our aid and be able to join her companions in their pleasant pastimes and feel her whole being "warmed and expanded into perfect life." The change to so grSat that we think her sweeter and nobler tban aver before.
