The portion of God s words usually

The portion of God s words usually selected upon this occasion, is the second lesson for the evening service, after which a sermon is read: and from the regulanty of attendance, as well as from the order and decency which are always preserved, it is presumed that the neighbours are persuaded they cannot spend an hour on a Sabbath evening in a more profitable manner. The festival is held on the first of July, when the children and their mothers are entertained with tea and rolls, immediately after which a distribution of Tory Burch Flats the prizemoney lakes place, and as the rewards are adjudged by strangers. no Daruaiuv can orevau."Mr. Brian Hill was very active m his attention to this school. He was a man of elegant mind and of engaging manners; and to these attractive qualities were added the graces of true piety and warm benevolence. His residence was at the village of Weston, adjoining the park of his brother, where his memory is still cherished with the fondness it well deserves. Reginald Heber, first rector of Hodnet. and then the laborious Bishop of Calcutta, was his neighbour and intimate fnend. Whenever he had written anything new, either of poetry or prose, he generally carried it to Weston, where he was welcome at all hours, and read it to Mr. Brian Hill, of whose literary judgment he had a high opinion. This accomplished scholar passed some of his happiest hours in that way. giving full vent to those charms of conversation by which Tory Burch Flats he was so eminently distinguished. The few favoured individuals, who saw him in the freedom of spirit to which he abandoned himself m these social moments, describe the charm of his manner as beyond all conception. The gentleness of Mr. Brian Hill's disposition set him at perfect ease; he told his anecdotes, recited his poetry, unfolded his opinions of the events of the times, and criticised the authors of the day with an animation and frankness peculiarly his own.
