She had good taste for music, played well on Sc
veral instruments; was fine dancer and sat horse
gracefully. But these last accomplishments she pur
sued rather out of necessity than choice; and, when
she followed most her own inclnatioDs would be
employed among her women in needle-work To
the charms OF beauty, and the utmost elegance Of

canopy in the presence chamber at Whitehall, much
of which is said to be of her handy-work
All these accomplishments, with fine person in

III. of France and his queen, to make them desi-
rous of marrying her to the dauphin, which was &C
cordingly brought about; and the nuptias were

LETT without issue, returned soon after to Scotland
where she had not been long, before Charles, arch
duke OF Austrlawas proposed to her as husband,
BY the cardinal Of Lolrain. But queen Elizabeth
nterposed and desired she would not marry with
any foreign prince, but make choice of a husband
out Of her nobility. She recommended to her
either the earl Of Leicester or the Lord Darn

Elizabeth, and not little taken with lord Darnlev,
who was extremely handsome, she consented to mar

Genuine Memoirs of MARY, QUEEN OF SCoTs in
Guiding some anecdotes of LoRD DAnNLEY, one
of her Consorts.
MARY, Queen Of Scots, famous for her beauty,
Wit, learning and misfortunes, was born December,
8, 1872 and was the daughter and sole heiress Of
James the Fifth, King Of Scots, by Mary of Lolrain,
lis second queen, and dowager of Lonsueve.-
She was not eight days old when her father died
whercupon, after great animosities among the
Diity, it decrcct, that the earl of Arran, be-
ing BY proximity Of blood the next heir to the crown
in leg- descent, and the first peer of Scotland
should be made governor Of the kingdom, and
guardian Of the queen; who remained, in the mean
timc with her mother in the al palace Of nlth-
gov. Great suit being made BY Henry the Eighth,
in behalf Of his Edward for this princess in her
childhood, it was at last agreed between the chief
peers ct both Kingdoms, that she should be given in
marriage to that prince which, being refused af-
forwards, occasoned the famous battle of Musscl-
burg. Upon the defeat of the Scots at this battle,
She was conveyed BY the queen mother into the
isle of Inchenahom, where she laid the foundation
of her knowledge in the Latin, French, Spanish,
and Italian tongues in which she afterwards arriv-
ed at 50 great perfection, that few found equal
70 her in any of them, and none superior in them

staying few days with the king and queen at court,
she was sent TO a monastery, where were educated
the daughters Of the chief nobility Of the kingdom.
Here she spent her time in all the offices and duties
of monastlc life; being constant in her devotions,
and very obseTvant of the discipline. She placed
much Of her study in learning languages and she
