Not many mouths ago, in one of ray summer rambles, I found myself on a beautiful Sabbath morning the guest of a worthy and intelligent family, in a quiet country village.

"So late,'' exclaimed Mrs. Seiigwick, looking at the clock. ''Oar time-piece must, be skw." "This is not tho first bell for church," re-

nlied her husband .solemnly. "Ihere has
