Sir Methusalah sought his library my
lady the drawing room.
Wewill leave my lady gazing listessly
out upon the beautiful lawn in state of
metaphysical wonderment as to what on
earth she was born for, and follow Sir Me-
thusalah to the library.
Seated in his luxurious easy chair, after
having given vent to some vehement NUT
terings and dissatisfied grumblings, we
find him poring over a large black letter
volume of ancient legends. BY degrees the
lines of anger pass from his face and an ex-
preston of deep interest invests every fea-
ture. See he has raised his head from the
book an hour has passed, and the legend
is concluded. Hark he speaks
"Pshaw ! stuff nonsense it cannot be /;
1 won't believe it ! Yet it certainly appears
we'll attested. Strange This very night !
There can be no harm in making the ex-
pertinent am determined-Tll watch p
And now Sir Methusalah has put on his
hat and strolled forth in the direction of
the village church.
My Lady Rust, tired of her Gown bad
company" has entered the library how
listlessly she turns over the splenoid vol
umes! She leaves the cases and approaches
the table; her eyes fall on the quaint old
l
black letter tome in few seconds they
seem rivetted upon It's open page and with
difficulty she manages to decipher the OBJ
solete characters and reads aloud

which for the benefit of our fair readers We
render as follows:

But speed notwith dread. and speed not with fear:
