The working Of the law, like the
ways of Providence, is sometimes
mysterious. The English law, in
dealing with the question Of mar
riage with a deceased wite's sisters,
is sufficiently curious to be recorded
In England if man desires to mar
ry the sister Of his dead wife, the in-
telligent law steps in and says, mo;
she is your blood relation, and you
must not marry her." But if the
same man leaves q legacy to his wife's
sister, the law steps in with a differ.
ent view of the matter and ssays,
"She is no blood relation, and there.
fore she must pay to the government
q tax of ten per cent. ON the amount
of her legacy"

Henry Brougham was born IN Eiin.

ITS, his mother being the niece Of
Robertson the historian, whom his
father married rather suddenly, hav.
ing been previously afflicted by the
death of Mary Whelpdale, the day
before their intended wedding. Lord
Brougham says:
1T has often struck me that what
seemed to my father an irretrievable
calamity may have been the means of
saving me from obscurity. 1t Mary
Whclpdale had been my mother. she
would no doubt have materially en-
riched the Saxon blood { derived
from my father; but l should have
remained in the state Of respectable
med'ocrity which seem to have char
acterized my many ancestors. none
of whom, so far rs have been able to
discover, were ever remarkable for
anything"
The certainty with which he as
sumes that he, Henry Lord B:ough-
am. was to be, in any case, is delight
ful. 1t never occurred to him that
he might have been somebody else it
