True, every second house in that good city put forth there, as itdoes still. advertise- ments of lodgings to let, and ourex- pectations were as moderate as our funds ; but the 'approaeh of winter was filling the town, and we were. oh! how deplorably, strange to the northern Athens and its ways! ‘ The summons was answered by an elderly grave-looking servant maid, and I inquired if Mrs. Ramsay or her daughter were at home, ‘You’ll be a relation, sir'!’ said the dame growing:r still gravcr. ‘No!’ responded my brother, determined to tell the whole truth. ‘VVc are strangers from Ireland coming to the college. and have brought a let‘ ter of introdumion" ‘An old dame at the elevation of five stairs, with a gown and face of the same mud colour, informed us, that she could ‘ tak nae Eerish with- out twa shillins mair, as they war thought vulgar in Edinburry ;’ whereupon Henry consigned both her and Edinburry to a place consid- ered nameless. A lady in Herriot Row said she ‘ had nae rooms but ane, an it was owre genteel for stu- dents ;’ and an oldman, with a ser- mon-book under his arm, on We fourth storey, in Northumberland Street, closed a hard bargain by de- manding reference for morals and character, which of course we had not to offer, and therefore took our departure, Henry in his anger inti- mating that persons remarkably rtch in either would have small occasion for them in Auld Reeliie. ' Fortunately the venerable Scot did not catch the full meaning of his words. being like his countrymen, a little slow as well as sure of under- standing; and I, who had generally to manage the prudent part of our concerns, prevented explanation, by inquiring if he knew where we could find lodgings. and hinth our depen- ‘Mrs. Ramsay was said to be de- sccnded from an aristocratic family, in right of which she inherited a con- siderable property of houses in the old town, with a corresponding in- fluence in the religious world; and we were enjoined to deliver the let- ter immediately on our arrival. as her counsels would be of essential service to us in the strange city. ‘Our first business was therefore to search for her residence, and a weary search it was with our coun- try wisdom, stunned by the noise of the town, and astonished at all we saw; but it was Found at last, No. 27,11umer Square, two stairs up, and I pulled the door be”. with our credentials ready to present in my hand. ‘ \Vell we remembered the pair whose parasols and silk dresses had created such a sensation in our dis- tnnt village! Mrs. Ramsay was a tall, grey-haired, hard-featured wo- man, of eccentric manners and most enthusiastic piety.

Like many others in the vicinity, it had evidently been the mansiqn of nobility in other times. for the arms ofthe Ross family were sculptured over ihe entrance. ‘ The door, which was opened by a chain, moved back with a long creak. and we [oiled up a narrow and winding stair to the fifth flat, at the entrance of which stood a dingin dressed woman, holding a small cun- dle, who inquired our business in a subdued and Civil lone. ‘ We mentioned the cause of our visit; and the statement being re- peated in a louder key on her de- _clm'ali0n that she was ‘ a wee deef,’ filhe dame, without a word, showed us into a small sitting-roomy which opened near the door, with a bed closet attached, which she slated were her only leltable apurtrrents. ‘ The place was one where rank had left its ancient traces, remind- ing us of times when the Scotch aris- tocracy ‘ [tent that the sixth storey was the maist genteel.’ Armorial bearings decorated the ceiling ; remnants of tarnished gilding linger- ed on the cornice ; there was quaint carving on its small marble chimney- piece, and over it hung a great faded picture of an armed baron, whose austere countennnce and peculiar costume must have belonged to one of the lords of Knox's congregation. ' The gas of the High-slreelcould be seen ascending far up from its small windows, but like many of the older buildings its brightness had not entered, and we could have will- ingly exchanged its anliquuted grandeur for a more enliveni-ig situa- tion ; but a day‘s search for lodgings is apt to reconcile the most scrupul- ous, and as Hie terms were such as our finances warranted, and the wo- man seemed willing to accommodate us at once without question or delay, we paid a week in advance, and withâ€" in liulf-an-hour ourselves and our trunks were safely ensconced in that lofty domicile. dance on the recommendation of such a respectable person.

Henry and I agreed, as a last resource, to fol- low the sermon reader’s rather singu- ‘first duties of studentship and the 1wonders of the town ;,but as the ‘novelty of both were off, we had ‘ leisure to observe the peculiarities of the household. They kept no ser- ;vant, allofliccs ofthe ltind being ful- lfilled by the woman we had first seen ; she called herself Mrs. Dun- can, was about thirty-five, small of stature, thin, and qnietlyaetive ; her face would have been handsome but for a mixed expression of care and cunning which never left it, and she seemed to have renounced the vani- ttics of dress. as we never saw her in any other costume but the same drab gown. plain cap, and dim coloured , handkerchief. ‘ The stormy day was wearing to its close. and the cutting east winds. so frequent 0n the banks of the Forth, swept the half deserted streets with strong and piercing blasts ; hut, tired and strangers as we were, Henry and I agreed. as a last resource, to fol- low the sermon reader’s rather singu- lar direction ; and entering the High Street from the South Bridge, at that lounge of native idlers so appro- priately termed the ‘ Lazy corner,’ we proceeded. gazing at its high houses and narrow alleys, till with- in sight. of that antiqua'ed edifice which bears the great name and the dwarftsh image of the once mighty Reformer, where we found a long narrow close with a rough pavement and no light. though gas was now burning in all parts of the city. ‘ Most of the furniture seemed of equal antiquity. but mingled with more modern, as if later wealth and fashion had been there. Years have passed since I last saw the apart- ments,but not a title oflhcir arrange- ments has escaped my recollection, especially the bed. which occupied more than half the closet with its hangings of dark damask, whose heavy richness could be observed through the wear and waste of time.

Things had evidently been better with them: we remarked specimens of needlework and bijou- tci'ie, which Mrs. Duncan said were her own, though little according with her present circumstances. “The whole flat in which they lived was furnished after the fashion of our abode, the rooms opening in both sides of a lung corridor; but the family occupied chiefly the back apartments. into which Mrs. Duncan seemed unwilling we should ever penetrate, and. believing in the Scot- tish love of privacy, neither my brother norI cared to trespass on them. ‘ We had conversed and deposited our fees with the different professors, made some classâ€"room acquaintances, and secured the advantages of the college library, a couple of volumes from which were found so interest- ing one night about three weeks after our arrival, that we sat leading till one, when Henry. suddenly laying down his book. said, ‘ Frank, what do you think of our professor of anatomy ‘1’ ‘ ' He is considered the first ana- tomist in Britain,’ said I. " Yes,’ continued Henry, ‘ but don't you think him very like the Duncans? I met him coming out of the common hall to-day ; he saluted me politely, and inquired where we lodged? OF course I told him. and he merely said, ‘ Ah,ver'v good !‘ and walked away ; but young Thompson, who was just behind me, as soon as he was gone. remarked, ‘ That must be a treat of an old place you have got; they say there is a flat ofit Among the ancient Germans, than whom a finer race never existed, it was death for any woman to marry before she was twenty years old. In this country, very few ladies are fit either physically or mentally. to become mothers before they reach the age of twenty-two, or one or two years still older. The unsound condition ofthe constitution is trans- mitted, with increased tensity to the offâ€"sprinw. By the laws of Lycurâ€" gus, the most special attention was paid to the physical eduaalion of woman; and no delicate or sickly woman were, on that account, al- lowed to marry, DrJohnson, in his work on the Economy of Health, says that matrimony should not be contracted before the first year of the fourth septennial, on the part of the lady, nor before the last ofsame, in the ease ofthe gentleman); in other words, the female should be at least twenty-one years of age, and the male twent-eight years. The doctor says that there should be a difference of seven years be- tween the two sexes. at whatever period oflife the connexion is con ‘tracted. There is a diflerence of jseven years, not in the actual dura- ltion of life. in the two axes. but in the stamina of the constitution, the symmetry of the form, and linea- ments of the face. In respect to ,early marriage, so far as it concerns Ithe softer sex, for every year at which marriage is entered upon be- fore the age ol‘ t\venty~one, there will be, on an average, three years of walled up to keep in ghosts or some- thing, and] never knew any person lodged there except the Sarins.’ premature decay, more or less ap parent, of the corporeal Fabric. It is a very common opinion that, in the early ages of the world. men in general possessed superior physi- cal properties, and were of greater size than at present. But all the facts and Circumstances which can be brought forward on this subject tend to show that the human form has not degenerated, and that men at the present age are of the same stature as at the beginning of the world. Thus, all the remains ot'the human body, the bones, and particu- larly the teeth, which have been found unchanng in the most ancient urns and burial places, demonstrate this point clearly.

No one is surprised at anything of the sort from the French Minister for he has pretty freely on several occasions heretofore be- trayed his prejudires against this country ; but it is somewhat surrrising that the amiable and high minded Lard Napier should have permitted himself to be drawn into anything of the characterofthis afore- said discourtcous remonstrance."
