We are told that on the day Of SylNius'

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF ALADY.

Pythus, king of the Lydans, instead of pro-
noting the progress Of real improvement and
wealth, viz: the good cultivation Of the soil,
was SO much wrapt up in sordid avarice, as to
employ great portion of the labour of his sub
jects in working mines His queen, wishing to
reform her husband, and relieve his subjects,
hit on the following expedient When he had
just returned from a journey, she ordered his
table to be served with splendid repast of GOLD
AND SILVER, wrought in the form of fruit! The
king in vain sought to appease his appetite a
mong the slightly articles on the table, he own
cd that gold and silver were merely ornamental,
tookthe hint thus wisely suggested by his queen,
and promoted the happiness of his subjects by
the encouragement Of agriculture

and promised to meet him at the time and place
appointed, they parted.
Next day, dressed in her best clothes, the
poor woman went to the abbey and asked for
John Russell she was shown into room, and
told that Mr. Russell would be with her immedi-
ately. She had not waited long when several
gentlemen richly dressed entered the room She
knew at first sight the features of him who had
conyersed with her the day before; and strong
" impressed with the idea ofhis being the duke
himself, she was ready to faint with surprise;
but his grace walked up to her with look of
condescension and goodness, which terminated
her dropping spirits, while he assured her that
she had no cause to be afflicted, but might keep
herself perfectly easy He then called his stew
ard, ordered him to write receipt in full, and
see every thing returned that had been taken
from her husband. His grace then put the re-
ceipt into her hand, and told her, that he had
inquired into her husbands character, and
found that he was very honest man and had
long been his tenant; and giving her thirty gui-
meas, he desired her to 60 home and rejoice with
her family. What pleasure can equal the luxu-

FROM TIE NEW YORK EVENING POST.
THE WHITE LADY

Late English papers furnish an account Of
some singular and rather mysterious crcumstan-
ces respecting the melancholy fate of young
lady, named Sophia Hyatt, and who in conse-
qucnce Of extreme deafness, was accidentally
run over by a cart at the entrance of an inn
yard and killed. She had been for the last three
or four years, a ledger in a farmhouse belong
ing to Col Wildman at Newstead Abbey---No
one knew whence she came, nor who were her
connexions. Her days were passed in rambling
about the gardens of the Abbey, to which she
had free access; her dress was invariably the
same, and she was distinguished by the servants
as the & White Lady" She had ingratiated
herself with the Newfoundland dog that came
from Greece with the body of Lord Byron; and
on the evening before the fatal accident that
closed her life, she was seen to cut off lock of
the dogs hair and carefully place it in her hand
kerchief
N the same evening, too, she delivered to Mrs.
"idman a scaled packet, with request that it
might not be opened tin the next morning. The
contents of the packet consisted of various poems
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-17

written during her walks, and all of them referring
to the bard to whom Newstead once belonged. A
letter was also enclosed, written with much ele-
gance and feeling, describing her frendless situa-
ton, and her pecuniary difficulties, and stating the
necessity she was under of removing short time
from Newstead. She stated that she had connexo
in America, and that her brother died there leaving
a widow and children. She concluded with declar-
ing that her only happiness consisted in the privi
lege of being permitted to trace the various spots
which had been consecrated by the genius of Lord
Byron. The sequel of her story is told above. Col
Wildman took of her interment, and buried her
in the church-yard of Hucknal as near as possible
to the vault which contains the body of Lord Byron
Among the poems which she delivered to Mrs w.
was the following, probably the last she composed.
1t seems to have been written under melancholy
foreboding of what was shortly to take place.
