A PASSING INCIDENT,

As matt Of generous heart, from the
country, was gnidifgta few days since
his load Of hay 10. the market, he saw fol
lowing him and gathering the wtsEs Of hay
which fell from the load, a poor woman
and two boys, the latter Of, perhaps,
seven and nine years. Our attention wus
especially drawn 10 them, by observing
that the man frequently took pains to
throw whole hhndfuIs Of hay down the
side Of the road, in order, as apparent to
convey, III. US quiet u manner as possible,
sentiments Of comfort to the hearts. of the
suffering. poor, II III. H.
As our walk lay in the direction of the
market, we determined TO witness the con
clnsion of this exhibition Of sympathy aud
generosity. By.and.by the CLEANING DC
came so abundant, that the poor woman
could refrain from her expressions Of graft
tude no longer, and, bursting into tears
she bcckoned the man TO stop and then,
in a manacr that indicated both intelli
geuce and n delicate sense Of her wretchcd
condition, besought him to permit her ii
single word of thankfuinesS for his kind
ness.
MADAM, said the man, 81, too, have
been in the vale of poverty, and seen the
time when a lock OF hay would have beer

act Of kindness OF less value of itself thar

from despair and made me hopeful fol

DESCENDANTS OF EMINENT
BRITISH, WORTHLESS.

THE SuddenHess with which the families
of distinguished English celebrities come
TO. end is cxcmplliied in the following pa
per from the London Builder: =: =. -. IT,.
We may put Shakespeare at the head Of
the list. His eldest daughter, Susanna,
was married III StratFord, June 9th, 1901,
to John Hall There was only one child
by this marriage: The youngest daughter
was married TO Thomas Quincy, AT
Shakspeare's death, in 1916. the family
consisted Of his wife, his daughter Susanna
and her husband, DR.. Hall; Judith ant
Thomas Quincy, aud Elizabeth Hall, 1
granddaughter judith Quincy had seVe
raj children, who were all dead in 1859
The poets granddaughter, Elizabeth Hall
was married in 1926, 10 Thomas Nash
who died in l6I7 without issue; and
secondly, in IG49, to John Barnard, Of
Abingdon, county Of Northampton, by
whom size had no family, and died il
1870. Thus, in liftytOur years Shaks
pcares descendants, both male and fe,
male, came 10 an end.
Milton, the poet, left female descend
ants only, whose family are believed long
since to hive ceased to exist. Al poor
woman, named Clarke. some years since
claimed to be the last descendant from
John Milton.
The male line of Sir Christopher Wrcr
was speedily extinguished, and we some
time since stated the belief that the female
line had also ceased; correspondent
however, mentioned that at the time ht
wrote, Ia few years agol, an old. lady
descended from the greet architect, Wa:
still living. -.
Sir Joshua Reynolds, CowpCr, the poet
Pope, Locke, Seldom, Thomas Campbell
Otter Goldsmith, Wilkie, Dean Swift
Sir Isaac Newton, Hogarth, Turner, tn
landscape painter, Sir Humphrey Dary
Edmund Burke, Pitt, have left no dc
scendaRts
Robert Stephenson ended the line c
his father, George.
Notwithstanding ali the anxiety Of 81
Walter Scott TO establish family il
heritanee, his direct race has perishec
and those of hut slight relationship inherj
his land and title.
We believe that with the sons Of tx
bert Burns, the family Of the natloHi
poet Of Scotland will expire.
Lord Byron is only represented on III
/ female side.
