ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OF SIR WALTER
Scorn.—The following anecdote of the late Sir Walter
Scott can be relied on, and we believe was never before
published. When his eldest son, then Captain Scott, wa,
quartered in this town, he was struck by an inscription
which appears over a gateway leading to the ruin called
" Peter's Port," in the following words :
" Oh may not Satan's agents enter,
Will-o'-the-Wisp, or Jack the Printer."
It seemed to Captain Scott to bear the mark of antiquity,
and having a letter nearly concluded to his illustrious
father he inserted this inscription without any comment,
except merely describing where he found it. In the course
of a few weeks after be received from his father a copy of
the last published novel, accomp:nied with fifteen pages of
manuscript, closely written, to prove the inscription ought
to have been " Jack the Painter," and that Will.o'-the-
Wisp was one of his confederates; and that after deep
research he had discovered that " Jack the Painter,' who
was hanged at Edinburgh, had once visited Ireland, and
he supposed had made himself so notorious at Athlone, Lv
his villaniee and vices, as to cause this memento of him
to be placed on the gates of the town, " but that this
nt ee evert
this e been n
solid known
squ as a
t

could be easily determined by some of the old inhabitants
of the town." Pursuant to his father's wishes the gallant
captain made the inquiry, the result of which was, that no
such

originated from private feeling. The „fact was, three id
our townsmen were anxious to acquire property that
adjoined each other's premises ; after two were successful
the disappointed man erected this monument to hand down
the memory of his opponents to posterity. We can add
that both have procured for themselves the kind remem-
brance of their fellow townsmen; the one, by his un-
bounded charity, and anxious desire to do all the good to
his power; the other (now no more) by the establishing
of one of the best papers Dublin can boast of.—Athlone
Independent.
