An Oddly OF the Last Century.
The editor of recent edition Of Lady
larry WOrtley MOnlague's Letters gives the
blowing account Of the Earl Of Pembroke
great oddity Of hundred years ago:
Marrying for the third time at seventy
five, he maintained strict dominion over
wife, whom other people thought safely ar
rived at years of discretion, and quite III
to take care OF herself. She had leave to
visit ia an evening, but must never, on any
account, stay out minute later than ten
o'clock, bis supper hour. One night, how
ever, she stayed till past twelve. lie de.
clined supping, telling the serVantsi II could
not be ten o'clock, as their lady was not
come home. When at last she came In q
terrible fright, aud began making thou
sand apologies, my dear" said he, very
coOlly, ''you are under mistake, IL is but
just ten; your watch, l see, goes too fast,
and 90 does mine; we must have the man
tomorrow to set them TO rights; meanwhile
let us 20 to supper"
His example on another occasion might
be worth following. or all the Mede-snd-
Persian laws established In his house, the
most peremptory was, that any servant who
once got drunk should be instantly dis
charged, no pardon granted and no excuse
listened TO. Yet an old footman, who had
lived with him many years, would some
times indulge 10 pot Of ale extraordinary,
trusting to the willful blindness which he
saw assumed when convenient. One fatal
day even this could not avail. AS my lord
crossed the hall, John appeared in full view;
not rather tipsy, or little disguised, but
dead drunk aud unable to stand. Lord
Pembroke went up to him. "My poor fell
low what ails you? you seem dreaafnlly i'll
Jet me feel your pulse. God bless me, he
is In o raging fever; get him to bed directly
aud send for the apothecary." The apOth-
ecary came. not to be consulted, for bis
lordship was physician.general in his own
family, but to obey Orders-to bleed the
patient coplously, clap huge blister on his
back, and give him powerful dose of
physc. After few days Of this treatment
when the fellow emerged weak and wan as
the severest illness could have left him,
"Ha. honest john" cried his master, IL am
truly glad to see thee alive; you have had
a wonderful escape though, andiought 10 be
thankful, indeed. Why, man, If / had not
passed by and spied the condition you we're
in, you would have been dead before now.
But JOhnl JOhul" (lifting up his nnger,) }
mo more Of these fevers."
