A Strange Relic.

Laurence Sterne moves our hearts
with his picture of the Captive" and
his pile of little sticks on which he had
nOtched the count of his dismal days in
prison, with a rusty nail. Here follows
the story of a stranger and sadder me-
mortal of sorrow:
A striking instance of the arbitrary
state in which Scotland was held in
former times, both in public and private
affairs, is exhibited in the sad fate of .
wife of a Lord of Session, whose title
was Lord Grange.
1t vas suspected that the lady, by
some means or other, had got at the
knowledge of some State papers of in
finite consequence, and as poor women
are set down in the minds of all arbi-
trary men to be incapable of keeping .
secret, Grange and his son were deter
mined to secure the one contained in
the paper in question by putting it out
of the lady's power to divulge any thing
she knew of the matter.
To accomplish their design, the hus-
band and son privately conveyed her to
the island of st. Kilda, there put her on
shore, and left her to shift for herself,
and sailed back again, without . living
being having missed them, or suspected
what they had executed; nor could the
lady's place of concealment be discov-
cred by her friends, although they made
every effort in their power to find out
whittier they had conveyed her, but to
no purpose.
The island of St. Kilda afforded no
implements Of writing, and the lady's'
had she not rorked IL on her musiin
spron WiM her hair.
Her family by some means or other,
after her death (Which happened At st.
Kilda ear 80 years after her Danish
ment), got possession of this curious
piece of work, and preserved it with
great care, asa memorial OF her suffer-
ings and of the tyranny of the times in
she lived.

Artificial Diamonds.

1t is not of the experiments of scien.
titic chemists that the public need be-
VAR in the matter of artificial gems,
but of the cunning workmen of Paris,
Brussels and the purlieus of Soho,
London. 1t is not pretended that any
serious frauds are perpetrated by the
aid of the well known "strass" OF
'spaste" diamonds, a recognized arti-
Gle of commerce in this as in the last
century, and worn, even by day, by
many vain persons in apparent uncOn-
seriousness hat their harmless deception
is easily detected in sunlight by the
naked eye. Sham rubies and emeralds
made of "strass," colored with purple
of cassius or oxide of copper, and sap
phires owing their hue to oxide of CO.
bait, are also not apt to deceive any but
the most Impractical eye; SO the lapi-
dairy who works "with intent to de-
ceive" makes him q "doublet" or a
"triplet,' the latter being considered
the highest form of his peculiar art.
The "triplet" is, in fact, a sandwich
stone, of which the outer slices are
made of rock crystal and the
middle piece of colored glass or
composition. The emerald or sap
phire thus constructed is of fine
color, and, when mounted, likely to
impose on all but experts. In mount
ing his sham sapphire, which may be
worth from thirty to fifty shillings, the
workman conceals the double joint at
the "girdle" of the stone, and thus
presents two surfaces, both of which
resist the file-the common test of
precious stones among those least &C.
qua,nted with them. When the sapphire
is set in the middle of . ring the too
cunning operator sets a real diamond
worth four or five pounds sterling on
side of it. Having now laid out
twelve or fourteen pounds sterling upon
his venture, he betakes himself to the
seaside, If it be summer time, or to
the country town in winter, and, finding
himself suddenly short of money,
essays to dispose of his ring, which, it
IS unnecessary to say, vas given him BY
his mother. He undergoes great grief
at being compelled to part with such
q precious relic, but has no choice,
and therefore confides it to q newly
made friend-who thinks it a bargain
get q ring worth eighty pounds
sterling for forty pounds sterling-or
else tries his hand on the more difficult
