THE CROSSCAUSEWAY CLUB.
A TRUE STORY,

Early in tho winter oil 1857, few lads
who had been schoo-ieilows and play mates
in the Crosscauseway, n humble street in
the suburbs Of Edinburg, celebrated by
Walter Scott as the residence OF his hero
GrecnLrecks, met together one evening IN
the house ol friend Il was pleasant
aud not particularly silent assemhngc; the
enjoyment Vi social cha, was the objec:
which drew them together, and their mer-
ri,uent WINS not the less that the place OF
meeting was small garre, room ut the top

The proposition was carried. Without

all pledged themselves TO meet, il in their
power, on the last night Of every year d.
ring the whole term Of their lives; and that,
ia the event Of inability 70 attend, the ab-

From the whimsicality Of the proposition,
il might DO inferred that the impossibility
