Singular Circumstance.

A very singular circumstance happen
ed to young lady few nights since. the
counterpart Of which we never remember
to have seen or heard Of. The facts, as
related to us, are as follows:
The evening or rather all the day pre-.
vious. she had been complaining Of a Sc.
we're pain in the head aud eyes, more par.
ticularly the latter. Previous to retiring
on Monday last she bathed both her tenn
pies and eyes, in hopes Of gaining some
relief-butju judge Of her astonishment and
that Of her friends, to find the morning
following, that during the night she had
become completely cross-eyed. The
Transformation occasioned her no addition
al pain, and has been since matter Of
much speculation. Her name is Lucilla
Marks she is about fifteen years of ago,
and resides on Barr Street, near Linn
Gin. Commercial.

The Term i" Lady"

The name Lady is an abbreviation Of
the Saxon " Leofday," which signifies
bread giver. The mistress Of a manor,
at time when afuent families resided
constantly at their country mansions, was
accustomed, once week or oitener, to dis
tribute among the poor certain quantity
Of bread. She bestowed the gift with her
own hand and made the hearts Of the
needy glad by the soft words and gentle
actions which accompanied her benevo-
lence. The widow and the orphan "rose
up and called her blest;' the destitute
and the afflicted recounted her praises; all
classes OF the poor embalmed her in their
affections as the Leofday, the giver Of
bread and dispenser Of comfort, sort of
ministering spirit in world Of SORROW
