Of a good joke, he never misses an

determined on Il joke.

wickedly made kick.

send it, FASTENED to the nearest @rog-
gerry for five cent dram, to, as he en-
pressed it, "to take the ratty taste

When his lordship awoke, and per-
ceived her dishevelled and bloody
figure, he was surprised to the last
degree, and eagerly inquired how she
came to be in such an unusual condi-
ton? She answered by detailing to
him the history Of his conduct on the
preceding evening; which stung him
so deeply with regret,-for he was
nobleman of the most generous
feelings,-that he instantly vowed to
his wife never afterwards to take any
species Of drink, except what was
first passed through her hands. This
VOW he kept most scrupulously till
the day of his death. He never af-
forwards sat in any convivial compa-
ny where his lady could not attend
to sanction his rotations with her
permission. Whenever he gave any
entertainment, she always sat next
him and filed his wine, till it was
necessary for her to retire; after
which, he drank only from certain
quantity which she had first laid aside.
The Earl of Stair died in the year
1747, lat Queensberry House, in the

ladyship again widow. She lived
all the rest Of her life, in dotarial
state, at Edinburgh; where she
close, or alley, in which resided, still
bears her name. She died in the year
1863.

which she distinctly perceived the
appearance of the inside of church,
with a marriage party arranged near
the altar. To her infinite antonish-
ment, she recognised in the shadowy
bridegroom no other than her hus-
band, Lord p. The magical
scene thus SO strangely displayed, was
not exactly like a picture; ~, if so,
was rather like the live picture of

represented, and Of progress of &C
ton. AS the lady gazed on it, the
ceremonial Of the marriage seemed to
proceed. The necessary arrangements
had, at last, been all made; the priest
seemed to have pronounced the pre-
liminary service; he was just on the
point of bidding the bride and BRIDE
groom join hands; when suddenly a
gentleman, for whom the rest seemed
to have waited n considerable time,
and in whom Lady P thought she
recognized a brother Of her own, then
abroad, entered the church, and made
hurriedly towards the party. The
aspect of this person was at first only
that of friend, who had come too
late; but as he advanced to the party,
the expression of his countenance and
figure was altered very considerably.
He stopped short. his face assumed a
wrathful expression, he drew his
sword, and he rushed up to the bride
groom, who also drew his weapon
The whole scene then became indis-
tinct, and almost Immediately after
vanished entirely away.
When Lady p got home she
wrote a minute narrative Of the whole
transaction, taking particular care to
note the day and hour when she had
seen the mysterious vision. The
narrative she sealed up in presence of
Il witness, and then deposited it in one
of her drawers Soon afterwards, her
brother returned from his travels, and
came TO visit her. She asked if, III
the course of his wandcrin@s, he had
happened to. see or hear any thing of
Lord p. The young man only
answered by saying, that he wished
he might never again hear the name
Of that detcsted parsonage mentioned.

so closely, that he at last confessed
having met his lordship, and that UNI

Selected Expressly for the News.
The Evolutionary Anecdotes of
the Countess Of Stair,

'~>'ssA'''A
of Edinburgh, &c.
OF this venerable lady, who presi-
ded over the fashionable world of Edin-
burgh, during the earlier half of the
last century, some curious tradition
airy anecdotes are preserved, which
may prehaps amuse the people Of an
age so different from that in which
she fourished.
She was the youngest daughter of
James, second Earl of Loudon, and
consequently was granddaughter to
that stern old Earl, who acted so i'm
portant part in the affairs Of the
Covenant, and who was Lord Chan
cellor of Scotland during the trouble
some times of the Civil War. While
very young, (about the beginning of
the eighteenth century, she was mar
ried to James, first Viscount p,
a young nobleman of very dissolute
character, and, what was worse, of an
extremely unhappy temper. Her
ladyship, who had a great deal of her
grandfather in her, could have man
aged most men with great ease, by
dint Of superior intellect and force of
character; but the cruelty of Lord
p was too much for her. He
treated her so barbarously, that she
had even occasion to apprehend that
he would some day put an end to her
life. One morning, during the time
when she was laboring under this
dreadful anticipation, she was dress
ing herself in her chamber, near an
open window, when his lordship en-
tered the room behind her, with n
drawn sword in his hand. He had
opened the door softly, and, although
his face Indicated a resolution of the
most horrid nature, he still had the
presence Of mind. to approach her
with the utmost caution. Had she
not caught Il glimpse Of his face and
figure in her glass, he would, in all
probability, have approached near
enough to execute his bloody purposes,
before she was aware, or could have
taken any measure to save hen sclf.-
Fortunately, she perceived him in
time to leap out OF the open window
into the street. Half dressed as she
was, she immediately, by a very
laudablc exertion of her natural good
sense, went to the house Of Lord
P-'s mother, where she told her
story, and demanded protection.-
That protection was at once extended.
and, it being now thought vain to at
tempt reconciliation, they never
lived together.
Lord p soon afterwards went
During his absence, Il for
eign conIuror, or fortune teller, came
to Edinburgh, protesting, among
many other wonderful accomplish
ments, to be able to inform any per-
son OF the present condition or situa-
ton of any other person, at whatever
distance, in whom the applicant might
be Interested. Lady P, who had
lost ali trace Of her husband, was in
cited by curiosity, to so with female
friend to the lodgings of this person
in the Canongate, for the purpose of
regarding his motions. 1t
was night; and the two ladies went,

thing, however, yet repained to be
ascertained, did Lord P-'s attempt
ed marriage take place exactly at the
same time with her visit to the con-
juror? To certify this, she asked her
brother on what day the circumstance
which he related took place. Having
been informed, she took out her key,
and requested him to go her chamber,
to open a drawer which she described
and to bring her a sealed packet
which he would find in that drawer.
He did as he was desired, when, the
packet being opened, it was discov-
cred that Lady P had seen the
shadowy representation Of her hus-
bands abortive nuptials, on the very
evening they were transacted in real
ity.
Lord P died in 17O6, leaving
a widow who could scarcely be ex-
pected to mourn for him. She was
still a young and beautiful woman,
and might have procured her choice
among twenty better matches. Such.
however, was the idea she had formed
Of the married state from her first
husband, that she made a resolution
never again to become a wife. She
kept her resolution for many years,
and probably would have done so till
the day Of her death, but for a very
singular circumstance. The cele-
brated Earl of Stair, who resided in
Edinburgh the greater part of twenty
years which he spent in retirement
from all official employment, fell deep
ly in love with her ladyship, and
earnestly sued for her hand. If she
could have rclented in favor Of any
man, it would have been in favor of
one who had acquired so much public
honor, and who possessed so much
private worth. But she declared also
to him her resolution of remaining
unmarried. In his desperation, he
resolved upon an expedient by which
he might obviate her scruples, but
which was certainly improper in a
moral point of view. By dint of
brides to her domestics, he got him
self insinuated, over night, into Il
small room in her ladyship's house.
where she used to say her prayers
every morning, and the window of
which looked out upon the princip
street OF the city. At this window,
when the morning was little adj
vanccd, he showed himself, cu desAu-
billie, to the people passing along the
street; an exhibition which threatened
to have such a fatal effect upon her
ladyship's reputation, that she saw fit
to accept for a husband.
She was more happy as Countess
OF Stair, than she had been as Lady
p. Yet her new husband had
one failing, which occasioned her
much and frequent uneasiness. Like
all other gentlemen at that period, he
sometimes indulged over much in the
bottle. When elevated with liquor,
his temper, contrary to the general
case, was by no means improved
Thus, on his reaching home, after any
little debauch, he generally had a
quarrel with his wife, and sometimes
even treated her person with violence.

Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

is q constitutional disease, q corruption OF the
blood; by which this fluid becomes vtnted,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation II
peryades tie whole body, and may burst out
III disease on any part of it. No organ IS freq
from its attacks, nor is there one which It may
not destroy. Tn scrofulous faint IS variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, DIS
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, hlth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, anu
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation " indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ~ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the Blood, depresscs
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
ITEMS not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
q~uently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in tic
system. Most of the consumption which d.
CLIMATES the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people nrc scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and IN
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
