How MANY OF HIS SUBJECTS IS A KINGWOATII
i
This question is not answered, but attempted n a petition
of the knights, esquires, ministers, gentlemen, and free-
holders of the county of Lancaster, presented to Charles
1., May 2d, 1642. Alluding to that ill-fated monarch's
determination to put down the rebellion in Ireland, the
petitioners say :—" Finding your Majesty's late resolu-
tion for the expedition to threaten danger to your royal
person, far more worth than 10,000 of us ; we therefore,"
&c. "do, in all humility, present and prostrate ourselves
and supplications at your royal feet, beseeching your ma-
jesty to return to your great council" [the parliament,]
&c.—Such was the adulatory style of addressing a monarch
a few months before half his subjects were in open rebel-
lion or revolution.

DESPERATE REMEDY FOR A DESPERATE DISEASE.—
They tell a good story of Dr. Rand. He was called on to
visit a hypochondriac patient, who fancied she bad swal-
lowed a mouse. On entering the room, the ladyexclaimed,
" Dear doctor !I am glad to see you—l am in such dis-
tress—such pain ! Oh, doctor, I have swallowed a

the patient, "it is not nonsense—it is a mouse—a live
mouse; he ran down my throat when I was asleep, with
my mouth open, and I feel him now, creeping about my
stomach, and trying to gnaw out. Oh; doctor, do pre-
scribe something that will cure me in a minute." " What
is it, doctor, what is it?—l'll take anything you order."
" Well, then, my dear madam, swallow a cat—if that don's
cure you, nothing will."
