The True Story of 6 Robin Adair."

z The hero of Z" Robin Adair'' was well
known in the London fashionable circles
of the last century by the sobriquet of
the "Fortunate Irishman;" but his par
entage and the exact place of his birth
are unknown. He was brought up as q
surgeon, but q his detection in an early
amour drove him precipitately from
Dublin" to push his fortunes in Eng
land. Scarcely had he crossed the
Channel when the chain of lucky events
that ultimately led him to fame and for
tune commenced. Near Holyhead,
perceiving carriage overturned, he
ran to render assistance. The sole oc-
cupant of this vehicle was s.lady of
fashion, well known in polite circles,
who received Adair's attentions with
thanks; and, being lightly hurt and
hearing that he was surgeon, requested
him to travel with her in her carriage to
London. On their arrival at the metrop-
oils she presented him with fee of one
hundred guineas, and gave him gen
eral invitation to her house, In after
life Adair used to say that it was not so
much the amount Of this fee, but the
time it was given, that was of service to
to him, as he was then almost destitute.
But the invitation to her house was a
still greater service, for there he met the
person who decided his fate in life.
This was Lady Caroline Keppel, daugh-
ter to the second Earl of Albemarle and
of Lady Anne I4enox daughter of the first
Duke of Richmond. Forgetting her high
lineage, Lady Caroline, at the first sight
Of the Irish surgeon, fell desperately in
love with him, and her emotions were SO
sudden and so violent as to attract the
general attention of the company. Adair,
perceiving his advantage, lost no time in
pursuing it; while the Albemarle and
Richmond families were dismayed at the
prospect of such terrible n,esalliance.
Every means were tried to induce the
young lady to alter her mind, but with
out effect. Adair's biographer tells us
that s. amusements, a long Journey, an
advantageous offer, and other common
modes of shaking off what was consid-
cred by the family as an improper
match, were already tried, but in vain;
the health of Lady Caroline was evil
IDENTIFY impaired, and the family at last
confessed, with a good sense that re-
fleets honor on their understanding as
well as their heart, that it was possible
to prevent, but never to dissolve an at
tachment; and that marriage was the
honorable, and indeed the only alterna-
tive that could secure her happiness and
life.'' When Lady Caroline was taken
by her friends from London to Bath,
that she might be separated from her
lover, she wrote, il is said, the song of
/" Robin Adair, = and set it to plaintive
Irish tune that she had heard him sing.
Whether written by Lady Caroline or
not, the song is simply expressive Of her
feelings at the time, and as it completely
corroborates the circumstances Just re-
lated, which were the town talk of the
period, though now little more than fam
lily tradition, there can be no doubt that
they were the origin of the song

LIMA BEANs.-A correspondent says:
Allow only three or four Lima-bean
vines to hill, and when four feet high
pinch them off and never permit them
to grow longer than that; this will cause
the growth Of the lateral branches and
double the number of pods.

gentle eyes, that suddenly change and

aperture of an eye which suggests the
snake, the most repulsive of all forms of
animal life. For the beauty Of a snake
