he came down until nothing was left. Having no manly principle
to sustain him, he fell from one stage of rascality and meanness to
another, until he succeeded at length in getting himself appointed as
an under turnkey in Castle Cumber Gaol. A whisper has gone abroad,
that upon a critical occasion when the Sheriff, owing to the death of a
certain functionary essential to the discharge of his duty, felt
himself considerably at a loss, he found in one of the under turnkeys a
convenient substitute.

The living of Castle Cumber, left vacant by the promotion of Mr. Lucre
to a Bishopric, was given to an Englishman, as was then the practice,
and would be now, were it not for the influence of common shame and
public opinion.

Mr. Clement opened an Academy in Castle Cumber, and succeeded; for he
thought it a wiser thing to live by teaching a school, than to suffer
his large family and himself to starve by the gospel.

We now beg to close, by a paragraph from the True Blue:--

attainments. But what shall we say of the poor of Castle Cumber, to whom
he has been such a kind, meek, charitable, and consoling dispenser
of God's gifts and God's word? At the bed of death, of disease, of
poverty--at every post, no matter how poor, low, neglected, or how
dangerous--there was he to be found, the champion of God--fighting his
battles in peace, self-denial, and charity. It is true, he is not an
Irishman; but is it not a blessed thing that such links of love as he,
and of those who resemble him, should continue to bind the virtues
of the two churches, and the two countries together? His Lordship was
consecrated on last Sunday, by that Right Rev. and blessedly facetious
prelate, Archbishop Drapely, who, in addition to his other evangelical
gifts, is said to be a perfect
