Not long ago, a gentleman who had settled- somewhere in Cum ' berland, arrived at Springfield, and spent an hour oe two in one of the inns, chiefly, I believe, from motives of curiosity. He was ac companied by his daughter, a very beautiful and interesting crea ture, though net more than seventeen or eighteen years of age. Air the parties hod never erased the Sark before, they were both more than ordinarily curious to know every thing about Scotland and Scotch marriages. In particular, they expressed a wish to we the Blocierroith, not doubting that a true son of Vulcan, with • be. grimed face, and leathern apron, would- pop in upon them and de mend their pleasure. But here they were *edify undeceived, and when Mr. Elliot arrived, the gentleman endeavoured to be as witty as possible, stating, among other things, that be wished to introduce to him a young lady, who, at some future period, might have °tea -1 *ion for his services. To this salutation Mr. E. answered drily, that he had !mown as unlikely things come to pass ; and in leis than three or four months the same young lady actually came Le -1 fomhini, and was married to me of her father's ploughmen. In point of looks, the bridegroom and bride seemed formed for one another, and the jocular priest, who from the first recognised his old acquaintance, ventured to hint after dinner that surely Mr. I CHEMICAL SOLUTION OF CAMPHOR.

The " Siouan from Nature" possess all thepeca &rifles of Mr. M'D lAANIVII peculiar dietioa---w of tenderness or exaggeration. A celebrated wit once said that in all his future writings he was resolved to mix prom with his poetry, and poetry with his prose. Mr. WIN A amiD always seemed to us, to have got his lesson by heart ; for he never sits down to write, even upon the most trifling affair, without making a " capital story" of it. The book before us is a fair ensample of Mr. M 4 DIARIIID'B ability in this way. A passionate love for localities—equal to that of Sir WALTEIL SCOTT him self—has confined the subject-matter of this work to a particular district : still, it is beautiful. There are de scriptive sketches here which must please the reader of any country. Our limited space prevents our speaking at greater length, either in rain, of Mr. M 4 Dts amp s acquirements, or in condemnation of certain faults which he possesses withal. We cannot, however, refrain from giving the following extract. Mr. WM...amp doss not put an extinguisher upon the exploits of our aristo cracy at Gretna Green : At what precise period the Ira run-away marriage was celebrated at the spot called Gretna-Gnus, cannot now be witisfactorily Whett tained ; but in common parlance the custom is aid to have ambled from time immemorial. Old Joseph Paisley, who died in 1814, at the advanced age of four-score years, resided in his youth at Megg's-hill, a small farm situated betwixt Gretna and Springfield ; and hence the name of Gretna-Otero. Bat so far back as 1791, he abandoned Megg's-hill, and removed to Springfield as a more con rodent spot, end though the popular name is still kept up, it is no longer geographically accurate. Though he generally went by the name of Bleelresilit, he knew nothing of the secrets of the anvil and the forgo. On the contrary, he was bred a tobacconist and continued to toll and liquor the seaman's quid, until the trade he had followed merely as a bye.jol, throve so surprisingly that he found he could subsist by it alone. Welding, or joining, is a term well known in the smithy ; and it is believed that it was the meta phorical application of this term, that procured for Paisley the op pellatioa of blacksmith. Though neither avaricious nor cold hearted, he war a rough, " outspoken," eccentric fellow ; drank like a fish, swore like a trooper, and when once in his cups, forget en tirely the character he had assumed. Still he monopolised the whole trade, and was only on one occasion threatened with appal. lion; but he soon put an end to his rival's pretension*, by poupesing copartnery, in which the assistant, in the hope of a lucrative sue. ca was allowed to pocket the whole profits accruing from the visits of pedestrian couples. Repeatedly he famed the handsome fee of a hundred guineas, in a briefer space than a barber consumes in shaving a wormy bumpkin; old Charles Lord Bat hurst, and one or two others, paid hilly that sum ; and though these , were wind-Gila dare occurence, many of the inferior fees *see es hiusdeome, that the priest, bad he bees careful, might have lived merrily. and died in affluent or may circumstances. But he liked his bottle too well foe that; and the same remark, I uaderstand, applies to his summon. What is sadly tome by, gees as cheaply, and the trade of marrying, though not to hasardats, hos this feature in common with the trade of smuggling, that there l seldom much money pined by it la the and. VIM lately there was two rival practitioners at Springfield, end or whom married the pandsdaughter of Paisley, and fell issir•to his trade, in muds the sane way that some persons acquire the right of vending quack meditinos. Still the gets a good deal of trustees; and here, as in every thing else, compattion habeas -favourable so the interests of the public. Though a bargain le generally mode before head, a marriage-mongerahohatlwo rival to fear,aight fix 'Ns fcc at an) sum he phased ; sad lastances have mated, in which the partim aimplainedlthst they ltatl been 'eased 400 long before my visit to 'Springfield, a young Bagdsh clergyman, wit;st father dirappewred of the ;iota hehdl mair7,4sebradTiarthe pupae aloft martial. Thelselanaaded was thissyinbeas, demised to whidt his :mamma densumed, mid at 'the awns shoe sated, that though he had manied - ridsiyis Ample Sakaaell, fee tea arra escredid half.a.guinea. The clergyman, in fact, italicise so mach money about Win, bat it was agreed at last that he .hoed would not be angry with his fair daughter for proving herself so apt a otholar, and profiting by the lesson he had himself taught. But also ! alas ! the blow fell so heavily on the poor Cumbrian, that It at Drat threatened to break his heart, or unsettle his understanding. The lovely and light-hearted:Beatriee was the apple of his eye—the stay and pride of his maturer years ; and so far from wishing to match her with a common clown, there were few even of the bettor class of yeoman that he deemed worthy to aspire to such an honour. In the course of time, however, the old man's wrath gradually gave way to better feelings ; a farm, taken fur the son-in-law, was stocked and plenished, nobody knew how ; and if report may be credited, the praise-worthy conduct of the young people led before long to • complete and permanent reconciliation. On another occasion, a middle-aged gentleman arrived from the mouth of England, and was united to a lady considerably hii jun►or in years and appearance, and who, very unfortunately, happened to be the sister of his former wife. The veteran bridegroom was in high spirits, scattered his money very freely, and seabed so well satisfied with the accommodations of the place, that he was in no haste ;to retire *am the some of his second nuptial.. ' At length, however, the carriage was ordered to the door; and just as the sun was sinking in the west, the happy ` pair bode adieu to Springfield, and with a degree of haste, not at all requisite in their situation, made the best of their way to merry England. Nor bad they left the inn above an bow or so, ' when a second chaise and four drove up, and discharged a fresh sago of lovers, younger, fairer• and better matelied, but neither so 1 1 'Finicky, nor so prodigal as the first. And whom, reader, might the mimed pajr be ?—whom but a handsome well-favoured youth, and she only daughter of the former bridegroom, who, is Neentge for btr •filhery frailty and folly, had yielded to the entreaties of an henna yeoman, that had wooed her long and loved hie deafly.
