Here three of the black gentlemen burst
into a roar of laughter, but the leading

Treatise which shall by them be deter

following subjects, as expressed in his
will, viz. The evidence that there is
being, all powerful, wise, and good, by
whom every thing exists, and particular
ly to obviate difficulties regarding the
wisdom and goodness of the Deity and
this, in the first place, from considera-

THE LADY's Rock.

The following historical Anecdote is
extracted from the Hon. Mrs. Muir
rays Companion and Guide to the High
lands of Scotland.1
AT the south end of the island of Lis
more, we sailed near small Rocky Isle,
over which the sea rolls at high tide; at
other times it raises its rough head over
The surface Of the water. tits called the
Lady's Rock, for the following reason
In former times, one of the MLeans,
Of Quart, whose castle (now in ruins)
stands on aPromontory in Null, in near
ly an opposite direction to the Lady's
Rock, married a sister of Argyle. This
lady was handsome and amiable, but
unhaPpily she was barren. In those
times 1t was high crime in the eyes of
husband, when his wife bore him no
children. Quart hated his hapless lady
for that cause, and determined on her
destruction. To accomplish it with
ease, and as he imagined, safe from de-
lection, he ordered rufians to convey her
secretly to the bare Rock near Lismore,
and there leave her to perish at high
tide. The deed was executed to Quarts
wish, and the lady left on the rock,

watching the rolling tide rising to over
whelm her. When she had given her
self up for lost being, and expected in
very short time to be washed fromrthe
Rock by the waves, she fortunately per-
ceived vessel sailing down the Sound
of Mill in the direction of of the Rock
on which she was sitting. Every effort
in her power was exerted, and every
signal in her possession was displayed,
to attract the notice of the people in the
vessel. At length they perceived her, and
drew near the Rock. She made herself
known, and related that it was by the
order of her barbarous husband that she
was left on the Rock, and thus reduced
to the wretChed state In which they found
her. The mariners, ever agenerous race,
took compassion on her, received her on
board their vessel, and conveyed her
safely to her brothers, at Inverary.
Mclean Quart made a grand mock
funeral tor his much loved, and much
lamented lady, whom he announced to
have died suddenly. He wrote discon-
ISOLATE letters to her relations, particular
ly to Argyle, and after a decent time
went to Inverary IN deep mourning;
where, with the very greatest shew of
grief, he lamented to his brother-in-law
the irreparable loss he had sustained.
! Argyle said little, but sent for his sister,
whose unexpected appearance in life and
health, proved an electric shock to her
tender husband. Argyle was a mild
and amiable man, and took no other re-
venge on M'Lean, but commanding him
to depart instantly, at the same time adj
vising him to be cautious not to meet his
brother Donald, would certainly take
away his life, for attempting to destroy
that of his sister. Sir Donald Camp
bell did meet him many years after
wards in a street in Edinburgh, and
there stabbed him for his crime to his
sister, when M'Lean was so years Of

HUMBLE CONFESSION IN A CoAL-PIT.
A person who lately resided near
Witchhaven, having one evening sacri-

visit to some of his neighbours, took his
departure for home at a very late Cor ra-

ing about miles to walk, and very Of

attained half the way, but at last fell near
the mouth of a coalpit, about mile from
his house here the leaden hand-of Nor
pheus lay so heavy upon him, that he
soon forgot his danger and himself in a
sound sleep. Not long had he lain
there before the black gentleman of the
pit had arrived O. or in number).

zen the sleeping visitant to their basket,
and introduce him into their Internal re-
