OLD AGE BRINGS OUT FAMILY LIKENESS-guts'
—Did you ever rem rk how remarkably old age brings 0.,
family likenesses, which, having been kept, as it were,
abeyance while the passions and the business of the world eil;
grossed the parties, come forth again in age (as in infaneY)t„,
features settling into their primary characters—before dissto.
tion ? I have seen some affecting instances of this ; a bra',
and sister, than whom no two persons in middle life could h
been more unlike in countenance or in character, becoin7
like as twins at last. I now see my father's lineaments int
looking-glass, where they never used to appear.—Southeg'
A NEW ISLAND.—Extract of a letter from Capp',
A. Haigh, of the Sir John Rae Reid, in lat. 1.9 S., 1°,'15
31 W. On the sth instant we discovered an island p
lat. 46. 40. S., long. 48. 35. W., varying one point E., or
was first seen about four P.m., bearing N. W. about T° o
leagues distant. I hauled up a couple of paints to getyi.
better view of it, but night coming on and a hard gale bl°,,
ing, I regret to say I was prevented from surveying it
accurately as I could have wished. At first we thought it
ej
ice island, but upon 'a nearer view all hands were convinfeeet
of its being a rocky isle, elevated about one thousand eA
above the level of the sea. A detached black rock, was Lo
to the eastward of it. The nearest land to this that I Pcie
heard of is Isle Grande, differing very much both in Istit.net'
and longitude. There is still a possibility of our having w:cre
deceived by an ice island, but the numerous birds we petsurrounded by during the forenoon argues strongly in fanga
of land, more especially as shags and divers were see ii
species of bird that is only met with where the laau,d
near. The existence of the Isle Grande is said to be "
doubtful."
MRS. SIDDONS WHEN A CHILD.--In the al
moranda which she has left me Mrs. Siddons says nothing of
her juvenile days, but 1 remember her telling an anecdotem
her infancy which strongly illustrated her confidence its bet
efficacy of prayer, or rather or the Prayer-book. One &flee
mother had promised to take her out the following to a Pair
sure party in the neighbourhood, and she was to wear a tllO
pink dress, which became her exceedingly. But whether de'
party was to hold, and the pink apparel to L. worn, was tOO
pend on the weather to-morrow morning. Ca going t°ec!,
she took with her her Prayer-book, opened, as she suPP°j
at the prayer for fine weather, and she fell asleep with the
folded in her little arms. At daybreak she found that she 01
been holding the prayer for rain to her breast, and that,
rain, as if Heaven had taken her at her word, was peltlobab
the windows. But she went to bed again, with the, rr
,
opened at the right place, and she found the mistake qul,` tl;s
medied ; for the morning was as pink and beautiful IP
dress she was to wear.—. Campbell's Life of Mfrs. Siddosb
A deplorable event has within the last few cif4;l
taken place in the family of a hatter in Paris, the result °op"
cynical depravity of the master of the family. This man, dv
rated from his wife, having a daughter, aged sixteen, ha or'
come so enslaved by the arts of a woman, with whom bei,
rind on an illicit intercourse under the same roof s'fl, iof
daughter, that he left her the entire management of his 011,:
and business whilst absent on his commercial affairs. 1110 OP,
fortunate daughter became of course an object of hatred tbrotP,
woman, and had to suffer every species of insult and vir
treatment from her, particularly when her father was air
from home. Driven to despair by this cruel and every's/111f
repeated persecution, this poor young girl resolved 0°,4;
destruction, which she accomplished by means of the vaP,'''b
burning charcoal, after having written a letter, filled il`tcotc6
agonized expression of her despair, to her heartless persev liff;
and in which she charges her to give her last adieus 'l,OO
father, who was absent from Paris. With what feelings
a father receive such a message from such a person !
THE LAUGHING SKULL.—The tradition (I
of the laughing skull possesses a sort of horrible drone:Y:lsA
gether unequalled. It is said that a comic actor, or 011
by name Clepsanus, once flourished in that island, w°°tari,,
the Liston of his time ; his face was such a farce 19 "100'.0
that any person, no matter how much oppressed by trod
agonizing. grief at the moment, who looked at him, 'or tee
impossible to avoid laughing. Having fretted his lieu
the stage of this life, he made his exit, and was buried 0/ 41
church-yard, where, in due course of time, all that w.as,:ogi:
of him disappeared, except his pericranium. The grave uhr y
while making room in the same spot for a new claunantli ri;
yelled up the skull of the minstrel, and without at of
mcmbering to whom it had once belonged, placed 10
large stone that was on the surface of the earth. Some
glers came into the church-yard, and, happening to aer,
the said stone, they set up such a peal of lauglater tl'e3erOd
grave digger was astonished. He looked about to 61,40,0
the cause of their mirth, when his eye falling on that IPto
the caput from which the mouth and tongue of ClePss.l'oe,alie
formerly set many an audience in a roar, he, too, Pe 'lO
the contagion, and laughed till he could dig no longe.l.L,ol,cll
funeral train, for whose reception he had been prepar7olll,
appeared, rending the hair with that melancholy We'b o 4
even yet may be heard in some parts of Ireland on Oaait ei
sions. But as the procession advanced, and reaehechstio
view of the skull of Clepsanus, the notes were suddenllddb t,
to shouts of irresistable merriment. The tradition a of
this singular relic might be seen even within a century
ago.—New Monthly Magazine.
