Scott used to relate the following anecdote:
"My cousin Watty," said he, was a mid
shipman some forty years ago at Portsmouth !;
he and two other companions had gone on shore
and overstayed their leave, spent all their money
and run up an immense bill at q tavern on the
Point, The ship made signal for sailing, but
the landlady said:
paying your reckoniDg," and she accompanied
her words by appropriate actions, and placed
them under the keeping of q sufficient number
of bailiffs.
They felt they were in a scrape, and begged
to be released.

gentlemen, that you must be totally ruined il

from the door down to a reach of the winding
stream, overshadowed by several large and
handsome willows. "By my faith! he must

Quite a rivalry exists in London at the pres
emf time among the undertakers, and the Eco
nomic Cemetery Funeral Establishment" in
HYDE Park, has cut little under the regular
rates, and advertises that first class funeral
will be attended for Sl35, and tradesman's
funeral will be got up for $50. The former
rates were Sl45 and s2l.5O. The difference in
these occasions, as inferred from the advertise
ment would seem to be- that at a first class fu-
neral the hearse has four horses, and two coach
es are provided; the coffin is of lead, and all the
horses are decorated with plumes AT trades.
mans funeral the hearse has two unplumed
horses, and only one coach is furnished. There
is less fuss, and no feathers.
