81. Betsey.--St. Betsey was welded to a knight
who sailed with Raleigh, and brought home TO-
bacco, and the knight smoked. But he thought
Betsey, like other fne ladies in the court, would
tain that he should smoke out of doors, nor taint
with tobacco the tapestry. Whereupon, the
knight would seek his garden, bis orchard, and
in ans weather smoke sub love. Now, 1t CHANGED,
as the knight smoked, St. Betsey came to him
and said My lord, pray We come into the house;
and the koight went with st. Betsey. who took
him into a newly codared room, and said, | pray,
my lord, henceiorth smoke here for is IT not a
shame that you, who IRE the chief prop OF your
house, should have no place to put your head into
and smoke? And st. Betsey led him to a chair,
and with her own fingers filed him a pipe and
from tina: time the knight sat in the cedar cham
Der and smoked his weed.

said of her that her heart was a crystal shrine,
and that all the world might sec it, Now, once
when other women denied, or strove to hide their
aye, St. Sally said | am tive and thirty. Where.
upon, next birthday, ST. Saliy's husband, at u
least Of all their friends. gave her a necklace OF
six and thirty opal beads and on every birthday
added a bead, until the beads, amounted to four
score aud one. And the beads seemed to act as a
charm for ST. Sally wearing the sum OF her age
about her neck, age never appeared III her face.
Such, in the olden time, was the reward Vi SIM
plicity and truth,
= 81. PhiniS.-St. Phillis was q virgin Of noble

I'd that never did the husband touch that mat, tha
