SOME NosE--The following incident We had from
friend who knew the party: Deacon Comstock,
OF Hartford, Gt, well known being provided with
an enormous handle to his countenance in the shape
of huge nose, in fact it's remarkable for its great
length. On q late occasion, when taking up col
lection in the church to which the Deacon belongs,
to whom he presented the bag to be possessed
by asudden and uncomfortable desire to laugh The
Deacon did not know what to make of it. Has
had often passed round before, but such effects as
these had he ever before witnessed. The secret,
however, leaked out. He had been afflicted for day
or two with 4 sore on his usual appendage, and had
placed asma piece of sticking plaster over it, During
the morning Of the day in question the plaster had
dropped off, and the Deacon seeing as he supposed
on the floor, picked it up and stuck ton again. But
alas for men who sometimes make great mistakes, he
picked up instead, Of those pieces Of paper which
the manufacturers of spool cotton paste on the end
| of every SPOOL and which read: g Warranted to-
hold out 200 yards" Then a sign on such d nose
was enough to upset the gravity Of even puritan
congregation.

&, CURIOUS HISTORICAL FaeT-The wife of the cele-
brated Lord Glarendon the author Of the history of
the rebellion, was a Welsh potgirl, who, being ex-
tremely poor in her OWL country, journeyed to Lon
don to better her fortune and became servant to a
brewer; while she was in this hnmtle capacity, the
wife of her master died. and he happening to fix his
affections her she became his wife : himself dying
soon AFTER left her heir to his property which said
to have amounted to between f20, 600 and GS0,GQ0
Amongst those orequented tile tap at the brewery
was Mr.. Hyde, then poor barrster, who conceived
the project of forming matrimonial alliance with
her. He succeeded, and soon led the brewers widow
to the altar. Mi. Hyde being endowed with great
talent, and now at the command of alarge fortune
quickly rose in his profession becoming head of the
Chancery bench, aud was afterwards the celebrated
HYDE Earl of Clarendon. The eldest daughter, the
offspring of this union, won the heart of James, Duke
of York, and was married to him. Charles II. sent
Immediately for his brother, and having tifst piled
him with some very sharp raillery on the subject,
finished by saying " James as you have brewn so you
must drink, Il and forthwith commanded that the
marriage should be legally ratified and promulgated.
Upon the death Of Charles, James the Second
mounted the throne, but premature death frustrated
this enviabe consummaton in the person of his
amiable duchess. Her daughters, however, were
Queen Mary, the wife Of William III, and Queen
Anne, both grandchildren Of the CT deuant potgrI
from Wales and wearing in succession the crown Of
England. #l45 ggS& ss.s *ys &@5
