could not be induced to seek to make a
public example Of his own wife. How
ever, he adopted singular and compIete
though most unjust, method ofvengeance.
lie said that the estate belonged of right
to his son, and since he could not bestow
ltNupon him while living, that he would at
least spend it upon him when dead. And
he moreover expressed great satisfaction
at the idea of depriving his lady and her
offspring of that which she had played so
foul part to secure to them. The body
OF the young Laird was accordingly en-
balmed with the most costly drugs and
spices, and lay in state at Thirlestane for
year and day; during the whole of
which time Sir Robert kept open house,
welcoming and royalty feasting all who
chose to come. And in this way of reck.
less and wanton profusion, he actually
spent or mortgaged his entire estate.
While the whole country, high and low.
were thus feastlng at Thirlestane, the
lady was kept shut up in a vault OF the
castle, fed upon bread and water. During
the last three days of this extraordinary
least, the crowds were immense. It was
as If the whole of the south of Scotland
was assembled at Thirlestane. Butts of
the richest and rarest wines were carried
into the fields; their ends were knocked
out with hatchets, and the liquor was
carried away in stoups. The burn of
Thirlestane literally ran red wine. The
vault where the young Laird was Inferred.
in leather coffin, is under the roof of the
church of Ettrick, which is distant from
Thirlestane upwards of a mile: and so
numerous was the funeral procession that
when the leaders reached the church,
those in the rear had not nearly left the
castle gates. Sir Robert died soon after
this, and left his family in utter destitu
tion: 1t is said that his wicked lady died
in absolute beggary."

And dark is the night

CATHOLICISM IN IRELAND.-Judging
from the language of the Irish press, there
is revolution going on among the popu-
latlon of Ireland. The Dublin Nation
(Roman Catholic) says:
There can be no longer any question
that the systematized proselytism has
met with immense success in Connaught
and Kerry. 1t is true that the affairs of
the Catholic Church have been deserted
by thousands born and baptized in the
ancient faith of Ireland. The West of
Ireland is deserting the ancient fold"
The Dublin Tablet says:
1--WE repeat it is not Nuam, nor Cashel,
nor Armagh, that are the chief seats of
successful proselytism, but the very city
in which we live"
The Dublin Erening Post says:
owe learn from unquestionable au-
thority that the success of the proselyters
in almost every part of the country, and,
as we are told, in the metropolis, is be-
yond all the worst misgivings we could
have dreamt of"
