An indescribable and universal murmur, and then a breathless silence, ensued.
These principles Queed was endeavoring, with his peculiar faculty for patient effort, to apply practically in his daily offerings. It is enough to say that he found the task harder than Klinker's Exercises, and that the little article on the city's method of removing garbage, which failed to appear in this morning's Post, had stood him seven hours of time. It was a warm rainy night in early May.

No, no, no no death, I hope, for any of us, Mr. Edwards, she replied, endeavoring to speak calmly; there is smoke, but no fire to harm us. Let us endeavor to retire. Take my arm, said Edwards; there must he an opening in some direction for your retreat. Are you equal to the effort? Certainly. You surely magnify the danger, Mr. Ed wards.

The magistrate refused at first to marry them; and the lady of the house took aside the intended bride, spending two hours in endeavoring to dissuade her from the contemplated union; assuring her that her house should be freely opened to her, that no attention should be spared during her expected confinement, &c.; but all to no purpose.
