THE MlNlS'l‘ER’S FAMILY,

BY run Rev. W. M. lll'Jl‘lIERING'I‘ON. iitrritoii or A HISTORY OF Till-l CHURCH OF S(JO'l‘L.’tND.

Q’ The above Book of 304 paves, has just been printed for it firm in New ork, a few co ica have been retained for Sale in this Island. It is an interesting and entertaining work, its the following extract from the preface will show ‘-

" \Vlien the Author of the following little work states, that it is not oiil " founded on facts," but is indeed almost devoid 0 Mix’ lictitions admixture what- ever, he would not be no erstood to assert, thiit the events of the narrative occurred exactly in the order and connexion in which they are related, and befsl the members of exactly such a family as is here dee- cribod. llud this been the case, the production would have been merely a hirigrapliical treatise, with the real parties thinly veiled uridur fictitious names. Such is not its nature ; and yet there is not a character, attempted to be drawn, nor an event of any importance narrated, which is not an exact transcript of some character or event that occurred within the range of the Author's own knowledge. At the siiriie time, it is hoped that the work contains nothing which, even were it divulged, could in the slightest degree prove otfensive or piiuful to any person to whoiu it may be conjectured to refer.

llut. while both facts and feelings are, in it very strict sense, true, the names of persons and places are intentionall and entirely llctitious in every instance but one. ' ‘he name here referred to is that of her ltoysl lliglmess the Princess AUOUITA, in the in- cident related in the last part of chapter 3. ’l‘hat incident occurred precisely as there related : and the Author tlnught it due to tho Illustrious Lady to record this specimen of that frankness. benevolence, and kindly considerate attention to all around her, by which her ltoyal llighness is distinguislied. llaving in this one instance withdrawn the veil. he avows it, and states the reason,—hoping also to preclude the inference, that what remains more concealed may on that account he considered the less real. Where he has not withdrawn it, he trusts it will he allowed to rest ;—aiid believes that any attempt further to withdraw it, will prove irielfsctuiil, as not even the discovery oftlte writer would necessarily unravel the texture of that certain which he has chosen to draw or is truthful tale,-or involve such an application

POLLY GRAY AND THE DOCTORSJ (Concluded. )

That evening, half an hour after dark, there waealight rap at Joe Palmer-‘e door in the third story of one of the college buildings. The door was partly open, and Joe sci “ Wine in." No one entere , but in it few moments the rap was heard a in. " Come in,” said Joe. Still no one entered. Presently a. figure, concealed under-ts cloak and with mnflled face, I. poured

rtly before the door, and said someth ng in is

ow voice. Joe looked wild and agitated. Some college scrape. he thou ht, but what was the nature of it he could not ivine. The figure looked ni sterious. Presently the voice was heard again, and understood to utter the word Palmer. Joe was still more agitated, and look- edut his chum most inquiringly. llis chum stepped to the door and asked what was want- ing. The ti ure drew back into the darkness of the hall, on answered in it faint voice, that he wanted Palmer. At last Palmer screwed his resolution up to the sticking oint and ventur- ed as far as the door, while its chum stepped back into the room. ’ he guro again canto forward and whispered to Palmer to come out, for he wanted to speak with him.

“ But who are you 1” said Palmer.

The figure partially uncovered his face, and whis red “ Doctor Stubbs "

Pa mer at once recognized him, and stepped back its bold as it lion, and took his hat and went out. In a few minutes he returned and told his churn, with rather ll. mysterious air, that he was going out with it friend to be gone two or three hours, that he need not feel uneasy about him, and might leave the door unfastcned fol‘ him till he returned.

Doctor Stnbhs, having given Joe and Rufus full directions how to proceed, telling them to get it. large wide chaise, so that they could ma- na e to carry the corpse conveniently, and informing them where the could find spades and shovels deposited by the side of the road for the purpose, left them and hastened homo.

“Wcl now, Rufe," said Joe, " we'll just go over to Jake Rider's and get one ofliis horses and chaise. But we needn't be in 11 hurry, for we don’t want to get there much before mid- night; and we'll go into the store here and get is rink of brandy to begin with, for this kind of business needs it little stimulus.”

Having braced their nerves with it drink of brandy, they proceeded to Jacob Rider's.

“ Jake, give us it horse and chaise to take a ride three or four hours,” said oe. on needn’t mind setting up for us; we'll put the horse is n we come back, a d fie core of im ; we know where to put him. We don’t want it nag; an old stcudyl horse that will give us on easy, pleasant ride.”

“ Old Tom is jest the horse you want,” said Jacob. “ and there's is good easy going chaise."

“ That chaise isn't wide enough," said Joe; “ give us the widest one onv'c got.”

“But that's plenty wide enough for two to ride io," said Jacob; “I don’t see what you want a wider chaise than that for."

f‘ ()h, I like to have plenty of elbow room," sci oe.

" Maybe you are going to have it lady to ride with you," said Jacob.

Joe laughed, and whispered to Rufus that Jake had hit nearer the mark than he was aware of.

Jacob selected another chaise. " There is one," said he “ wide enough for three to ride in, and even four upon it pinch.”

“ 'I‘hat’ll do,” said Joe; “ now put in old

The horse was soon harnessed, and Joe and Rufus jumped into the chaise and drove oil.

“ Confound these college chops," said Jacob to liimselfas they drove out of the yard ; “ they are always a sky-lnrkin‘ somewhere or other. There's one thing in it, though, they pay me well for my horses. But these two fellows wanting such a broad chaise ; they are going to have is real frolic somewhere to night. I’ve it plaguy good mind to jump on to one of the horses and fellow, and see what sort of soul!‘ they are up to. It's so dark I could do it just as wellns as not, witliout the least danger of their seeing me."

No sooner thought than done. Jake at once mounted one of his horses, and followed the chaise. There was no moon, and the night was cloudy and dark ; but it slight rattle in one of the wheels of the chaise enabled him easily to follow it, though entirely out of eight. llaving gone about two miles the chaise stopped at the corner, about a hundred rods from the house of l)r.Stubbs. Jake t ell and hitched his horse, and crept carefifily along by tho_eide of the fence to see what was done there. By stoo in down and looking up against a clear rate 0 sky, he could see one of the two leave lhe chaise and go to the fence by the ‘side of

Jake break friends with those college fellows, for

[3 Joe and Rufus walked two-thirds of the way across the burying-ground and stopped. Jake followed at it careful distance, and when he found they had stopped, he crept slowly

and partly by sound, he could discover what

ground. Here a new light seemed to dash up- on Je.ke‘s mind-

"I he no murder has been committed,” thought o to himself; “but it's pret clear something is to be buried here to-night t at the world must know nothing about.”

Joke was rplexed. and in doubt as to what he should 0. He had some conscience, and felt as though he ought to investigate the nm.tter.and put a stop to the business if any- thing vcry wicked was going on. But then there were other considerations that weighed If murder had been commit- ted, it was within the range of possibility, and not very unreasonable to suppose, that murder in to conceal it. There

up on the darkest side, so near that, partly y sight There was not is loud word spoken, though he occasionnll heard them whisper to each other. Then 0 heard the sound of shovels and the moving of the gravel. “It is true," said oke to himself, “they are digging it rare !” and the cold sweat started on his orehcod. Still be resolved to be quiet and see it all through. Once or twice they stopped and seemed to be listening, as though they thought they heard some noise. Then he could hear them whisper to each other, t could not understand what the said. After they had been diggin and throwing out gravel some time, he heard a sound like the light knock ofo shovel upon the lid of n collin.

“ ’l‘a.kc care,” said Joe, in a. very loud whis- per, “ it'll never do to make such it noise as that; it could be heard almost holfti. mile; do be more careful.”

‘a the pursued their work, and occa- sionally it he low sound like it shovel scraping over it collin was heard. At length their work of throwing out gravel seemed to be completed, and then there was a pause r game time, interrupted occasionally by soui‘of screwing, and wedging. and wrenching ; it at last they seemed to be lifting some heavy substance out of the grave. They carried it towerd the gate. Joke was lying almost upon the ground, and as they posse near him, he could perceive they were can ing some white object about the length on size of a corpse. They went out at the gate and round to the chaise; and presently they returned again, ond it peared by their motions and the sound to o filling up the grave. Jake took this opportunity to go and examine the chaise ; and sure enough he found there it full-sized corpse, wrapped in is white sheet, lying in the centre of the clinise, the feet resting on the floor, the body leaning qcross the seat, and the bend resting against the centre of the back part of the chaise.

“ Only some scrape ofthc doctor's after till," said Jake to himself, who now be u to breathe somewhat easier than he had one for some time -tet. “ But it’st-other shameful business, though ; this must be Deacon Gray's daughter, I’m sure; and it's ti shame to treat the old man in this shabby kind of way. I'l stop to this, anyhow. Pol ‘ray good it. sort of a gal to be chopped u quarter of beef, according to my way 0 think- in , and it sban't be."

alto then lifted the corpse otit of the chaise, carried it a few rods farther from the road, laid it down, took oil’ the winding-sheet, wrap- ped it carefully round himself, went back and got into the chaise, and placed himself exactly in the osition in which the corpse lmd been left. 19 had remained in that situation but it short time before Joe and Rufus, having filled up the grave and made all right there, came and seated themselves in the chaise, one on each side ofthc corpse, and drove slowly and quietly oh‘.

" I'm glad it‘s over," said Rufus, fctclting a long breath. “ My l.cnrt’s been in my mouth the whole time. I thought I heard somebody coming halfo dozen times; and then it's such it dismal gloomy place too You would n‘t
