May, with saddened joy, had scattered liti l wern over the grave of her sister April, who had bidden a tearful adieu to the beau ties to which she had given birth. Thero was a commotion in Tattletown, an unusual one, if we may judge from the excited group gathered ut the -prin ciple point of interest, theVrocery Fif teen or twenty men stood, or eat around the dour, some upon empty (asks, or box es, or if these failed of accommodation, oblivious of the small puddles of tobacco juice, 1501110 had seated themselves on the ground; all equally absorbed in the news communicated by the spokesman of the occueion who stood in the doorway ; reading with more gesture, and emptier , sin, than the ruleaof Rhetoric admit, and more rapidly than gramstically, a news paper, and who barely stopped to take breath, and seemed oblivious of the in terruptions offered by the bystanders, a by alltell, whose interest was neverally manifested by oaths, varying hr decen cy from that of the rough woodentler,-10 that of the would-be-gentleman clerk, and postmaliter, one philosophically spat out his disgust is the form of tobacco Juice; another pdffed away at his pipe, waiting with each puff a volutne of un expressed indignation. .
