An Instance OF Self.Control.

Sir Walter Scott was in the habit Of
employing 10 literary work a German
student named Weber. Being an inter-
csting person. he became favoriie with
Scott household. and often dined with
them. Sir Walter, knowing that Weber
was inclined 10 drink too freely. en-
Outraged this intimacy, that he might
keep him as mach as possible from
temptation.
When Sir Walter left Edinburgh nj
Christmas. 1913. the two parted kindly,
and on the day after his return. Weber
was with him in the library. ~ usual,
making extracts. As the light began
10 fail, Scott leaned back in his chair
and was about to ring for candies. when.
seeing the German looking al him with
unusual solemnity. he asked what was
the matter
MIR Scott said Weber, rising,
.'you have long insulted me. and can
bear ii no longer. have brought a
pair of pistols. and must insist on your
taking Que Of them instantly" and he
produced the weapons which had been
placed under his chair, and laid one of
them on SCOTS paper.
lyon are mistaken. think said
Scott. In your way of setting about
this aaair-hut no matter 1t can. how
ever. be no part of your object to annoy
Mrs. Scott and the children; therefore.
il sou please. we will put the pistols
into the drawer till after dinner. ana
then arrange 10 20 out together like
gentlemen
Weber answered with the same cool
ness: II believe that will be better"
and laid the second pistol ON the table.
Scott locked both IN his drawer. say
ing: Il am glad you have felt the
propriety of my suggestion; let me only
request further that nothing may occur
at dinner To give my wife any suspicion
of what has been passing. -
Scott then went TO his dressing
and Immediately sent Il message TO one
OF Webrrs intimate companions. who
came and took him away. He had
been ON long walk through the High
lands. during which he bad drank so
heavily rs TO un-eitlc his mind. He
became hopeless lunatic. and till his
death was supported at Scott's expense
in an asylum at York. But for the
