He married for beauty, and she for booty ands corouet, and she had the worst of the bargain, though at thia moment she is for a third tims & wite, and is the helpmeet of an ex-memer of the British Cabinet, aud the brilliant leader of the fashion eircles of Huglamt. Waterford's freaks are innumerable as they are original and laughatle. He was tor years a | member of the Quorn Huntin Leicestershire, | and, being s fearless and perfect cross-country r.der, always took straight line and com. manded & good place at the finish. Melton Mowbray is the hunting metropolis, and one morning it awoke to find every sign in the town transferred to other localities, and #omu prom!- nent residences fooltehly danbed balf over with red paint, Waterford and bis party hal done it. Fora wager he hada celebrated hanter of bis steed brought into the dining room, in the midst of a drinking bout, and mouating in his | dinner dress, rode him over the dining-table | thout disarranglng an article om it. At Stockbolm—we think it was—he was very nearly killed by a vigilant peliceman. The officers of the law there carry clubs with spik in the end, which are called “morning # Waterford, in attempting to play tne London me over the Stockkolim peelers, received a | low with one of these persuasive statis on the bead, and very neariy succumbed to it. The He wasa celebrated sterple-chase riler, and had one of the finest studs of thoroughbreds crossed by the hunter to be fonnd tn Irciand or England. He kept this pace up for about ten or fifteen years, and fivally saw the vanity of | bis ways and retired to Curraghimore, married, ecame & resident landiord.

Many men, not yet old, will remember the ease of Bishop Doane, aed atill mere distinotly the ease of Bishop Onderdonk. An honored praiate of jong standing in the ministry, aa eloquent aad offerse, deposed from the bishopric and silenced from the ministry. ‘Che writer of these pages was for seventeen years associated with a m: ister in college work, and for several years of that time associated ta him ia the pastorate ef the college eburch. He was an earnest preacher, and especially gifted ia praying. three yoara ago, he was accused, upon the timacy with the wife of one of the deacons of Lis eburch. Although at times for years there bad been hints of scandal, yet nut one tn a hnu- dred gave the least credence to the atury which the witness told. The accused denied the clarge, and asserted his innocence with the most soleisn asseverations thatever fell from human lips. His denials and asseverations were repoat- +d, Gay after day, in the mosteolemn manner for weeks, until at length the “horrors of of bell got hold upon him,” for he belisved in a future jadgment and tature retribation. and he then confessed that the charge was trae, de clartng that ‘‘nothing bur the nadoubtiag belief of wa endices hell had saved him from suicide, nluced him to confess.” For years aud years soriminal intimacy had existed; his accom- plice sitting before hin every Sabbath; and ber husband all uneuspecting, received irom his hand, each two months, the bread and the cup. * Such isthe mystery ot tniquity.
