LAST STROKE OF MISERY.
The Climax of Misfortune Heaped
Upon a Poor Heroine by
an Author.

Lady Anne Barnard, whose life and
letters have just been edited by W. W.
Wilkins, was the author of the we'll
known Scotch ballad, sAuld Robin
Gray" Her story of the composition
of this ballad, as related to Sir Walter
Scott, is worth retelling.
There was an ancient Scotch melody,
she said, of which dad was passion
ately fond. -, who lived before
your day, used to sing it to us at Bah
cares. She did not object to its hav-
ing improper words, although I did.
longed to sing old Sophy's air to diff
ferent words and give to it's plaintive
tones some little history of virtuous
distress in humble life, such as might
suit it. While attempting to effect this
in my closet, called to my little sis
ter, who was the only person near me:
81 have been writing ballad, my
dear. I am depressing my heroine
with many misfortunes. I have al
broken her fathers arm, and made her
mother fall sick. and given her auld
Robin Gray for lover; but I wish to
load her with a fifth sorrow within
the four lines, poor thing! Help me
to one.''
Ny sister thought moment, and
then, the climax Of misfortunes COM
ing to her, called out:
"Steal the COW, Sister Anniei"
The COW was Immediately lifted"
by me, and the song completed.

The Appeal to Experience.

Some of the inmates Of a York
shire asylum were engaged in saving
wood, and an attendant thought that
one old fellow, who appeared to be
working as hard as anybody, had not
much to show for his labor.
Approaching him, the attendant
soon discovered the cause of this.
The old man had turned his saw up
side down, with the teeth in the air,
and was working away with the back
of the tool.
"Here, I say, j." remarked the
attendant. "what are you doing?
You'll never cut the wood in that
fashion. Turn the saw over!"
The old man paused and stared con-
temptuously at the attendant.
ibid ia iver try a saw this way?"
he asked.
"Wen. no." replied the attendant.
"Of course I haven't"
eThen hod thy noise, mon," was the
instant rejoiner. "I've tried both
WAYS, I hev, and"-impressively-
"this is t. asiest."-London Spare
