YESTERDAY afternoon about 2 o'clock quite an excitement was created by the sudden collapse of a wall at the corner of Cochrane and Wellington Streets. The wall has for some time looked dangerous and the accid- ent is therefore not at all surprising.

One evening, young Mr Garnet called at the house as usual, but to his extreme de light found that the obtuse parent was not in the parlour, he having been compelled to cross over to a neighbour's house on business, The young man's raptures, however, were soon ohecked on learning that Mr Watkins would certainly return within 15 minutes, and that there was im minent danger that he would read aloud the whole of the last number of the fis. sionary Herald, Including all the letters on the last four pages of that exhilarating publication, which set forth that the writers were willing to live without food or clothing, but that they could not live without the Herald. In these circumstances, Mr Garnet resolved on a bold stroke. He told Miss Watkins that & transit of Mercury was to occur that evening which she must not fail to seÛ, We will just go out on the roof of the shed," he remarked, "and watch It 1 will loave-a-note on the table for your good father, telling him that we are star-gazing, and he will know that it is all right." The young lady agreed to the proposal; the note, in which all mention of the shed was carefully avoided, was written, and the exulting lover helped his beloved through the back window out on the roof of the shed, feeling that for one the old gentleman was foiled.

For hours they sat waiting for the transit Mr Garnet doing his very best to provent his companion from ellpping and rolling 5 ft. over a fist roof, with a view to falling over its edge. In fact, he never once released his hold of her, so anxions and thoughtful was be for her safety. Old Watkins returned in due time; read the note, remarked "sho," in a disappointed tone, and after waiting an hour for the supposed wanderers to return, fell asleep in his obstr. The night was a beautiful ono, and the lovers took small note of time. was not until the South Presbyterian Church clook struck 12 that Miss Watkins nurved herself to say that she really must go-back to the parlour, and that perhaps they had made a mistake about the transit, and would have to watch for it the next night. Mr Garnot sonoaded the proprioty of her remarks, and they both said they would instantly get up. It was easy to make this resolution, but impossible to put it into execution. The new dement, which was dry only on the surface, held the young people in an inexorable grasp. they strove to wrench themselves tree. Certain ominous sounds convinced them that they could free themselves only at the Bacrifice of the integrity of their garments. it was, Indeed, an awful situation, and Mr Garaet, to this hour, wanders that his hair did not turn grey with agony.
