MR. CHARLES DICKENS AT HAWTHORNDEN.--
During his recent vi sit to Edinburgh, Mr. Chas. Dickens
visited the beautiful ; lnd classic scenery of Hawthornden.
A correspondence of • the Dumfries Courzer gives the fol-
lowing account of his visit Mr. Dickens wont
out with an ordel- for admission from the pro-
prietor or his hi 'other, but not a regular day
for admission. When he got to the gate with his
party, the wrinkled woman who acts as Cerberus
refused most decidedly to let thorn in. Mr. Dickens
was so astounded at the insolence of' the old Scotch beldame,
that he was driven to the desperate resource of appealing to
his fame. My good woman, my name's Dickens, and I
can't come here every day.' I neither ken nor care what
your name is, but ye canna get in, excep' on the regular
days,' responded Cerberus. And then,' went on the
great man, astounded et the old •woman's ignorant con-
tempt for his great name, I have ear order, if you will look
at it, producing the document to the bleared lady, who
ejaculates angrily, What's the use of lettin' me see an
order when I canna read ?' Iltterl,-y foiled in. his attempt
upon the female, the illustrious no,velist was compelled to
wait for about an hour until a messe3rger returned from the
house of Hawthornden to allow him -to enter."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Bilious head-
ache and all affections of the splee- oL that result from de-
praved, or insufficient, or superabui ulant bile, are relieved
with a wonderful celerity, and mot a thoroughly by these
mild aperient Pills. They are not, however, aperient only,
but have a peculiar and specific influence upon the blood,
which they at once purify and enrich. It is well known
that the liver and stomach always sympathise with each
other, and that the liver is never -a inch disordered itself
without causing similar disturbance or impediment in the
organs of digestion. These truly wox iderful pills act power-
fully and simultaneously on both ti Le liver and stomach,
and thus the double cause of What is called bilious head-
ache is subdued at once.

[ADVERTISEMENT.j—Rarey's Ho] •se and Cattle Improv-
ing Food is equally adapted to imp'', we the stamina of ill-
conditioned Horses, Cows, Bullock s, Calves, Sheep, and
Pigs. It causes no extra expense, as it contains far more
and better nourishment than its cot of ltd. per feed sup-
plies in corn and hay; hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great improve-
ment in the digestive functions, the stamina and general
condition of horses enabling them to perform far more
labour without getting distressed. It imparts new vigour
to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out horses, and
it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle generally, and im-
proves the milk in cows, as it enables them to extract the
entire nourishment out of everything they feed on. Rarey
and Co., 77, Regent's Quadrant, Piccadilly, London.
Packed in tins of about 90 feeds, Ils. ; in casks of about 450
feeds, 505.; of about 1,000 feeds, £5, being about lid. per
feed.
