aud begged OF The magistrate 10 give him al
vice under the circumstances. The statement
made excited the greatest merrlmeut in court,
and even the gravity Of the magistrate was &C.
casionally relaxed Mr.. Taylcr's narrative
was TO the following eifec 1T appeared that,
although Just sixty years of age, he was by no
| means lnsensible TO the seductive influtuce of
a pair OF black eyes which kindly glanced on
him as he occasionally passed through Hano-
yer terrace, Regents park; The pOssessor of
| them was n lady 3 maid, but moli,es OF delicacy
restrained him from mentioning her name. En-
Outraged by the kind look 8 Of the fair abigail,

10 her, and was, AZ lac ur Si,t, iluiyin
"Uuer; bur a rev weeks ago, on Offering her
his hand and heart, she refused him point blank;
nor would he assign any cause fJr her refusal.
On his complaining OF her treatment to fe-
mae fiisnd of his, that person ial0rmpd him |
conidentially that she had heard his wCetheart |
declare that she could never think OF marrying |
a man with grey head an whskers. lie

and didn't take them off for three successive
days and nights, and then he took the leaves

as black as crow. In couple Of days, hows
ever, his hair turned beautiful pea-green.
his cheeks and forehead broke out into an
eruption, and, the weather being exceed ingly
warm streamsof green liquid ran down his face,
spoiled two shirts, his stock, waistcoat, and

him so much personal sutferingf The magis
