[Published by request from the Berwick- shire News] In the very heart of the Lammermoor hills is situated the small village‘ of St Ba- thams. About the end of the last century the Rev. Mr Skedd was its parish minister. He was not like some of the ministers of these days, who were called “dry sticks,” but on the contrary was a most-eloquent preacher in the pulpit, and out of it was famed far and near for his ready wit. On a time he met one of his male parishioners, when the following conversation took place: -â€"“Good mornin,’ Thomas how are you this niornin,’ and how are all the folk at home 7" To these questions rl‘homas re: plied, “ We’re just aboot the auld ordinar,’ sir, but something singlar has happened in oor hoose last nightâ€"ma wife had twins ;” to which Mr Skedd replied, “That’s not singular, Thomas, that’s plural.” Like other ministers of that period, Mr Skcdd was very poorly paid for his ministerial ser- vices, and had enough to do to maintain a large famiiy upon a. small income, and was obliged, for the purpose of making “ends meet,” to maufaeture on a small scale, bas- kets and potato creels, which were sold by his wife to the farmer’s in the vicinity. Mr Skedd was in the habit of making one bas- ket every week day, and he numbered the days of the week by the number of haskets he made. He was very absent-minded, and forgot that he had preached on a Thursday in a neighboring parish, and curious to re- late his little daughter found him early on a Sabbath morning at work on the sixth creel. The outs and ins of this incident have been turned into rhyme to show that the best samples of the human race may fall into error:~ About the aughteen hunder year, When meal and meat were unco dear, When wark and siller, too. were scant, When folk were like to (Ice for want, E‘en folk that ance were rule wcel ofl’ Could rarely buy a. quarter loaf, int be content their gabs to gust Wi’ heel 0’ cheese or bannock crust, _]And as for beer to aid digestion.

BATHAMS. "They were right, I think, for when we came to break the thing to him, sud warn him of what might happen. although all was said to excuse what I had (lune, and to soften the consequences that might come of it, he raved like one distracted. ‘Let him leave my cottage I’ cried he ; ‘ he has werk- ed mischief enough already; he has robbed me of my daughter’s love, and he would take from me my good name. Let him leave this honest root'l’ But were he goes, [must go, falher,’ replied Lucy, with her arms about the old man’s neck ,> and in the end he was brought to see that it. must be so. So I changed my name to that. of Der- ricd, which I bear now, and tied from home to a great seaport, and there, on board an cmigrantsllip bound for the other side of the world, took passage not only for my: self and wife, but for her parents. It was agreed that all were to begin life again in a strange land, so that I, too, might begin at once more with that fair start which I had lost in my own country. Thus the poor old man and his wife were torn from the comfortable home that had sheltered them for half century, and forced in their old age to cross the seas. No, not to cross them : would to Heaven they might have been suf- fered so to do 1 It was ordained that I. who had thus far caused their wrthchedncss, should also be the means offiieir death. A most terrible storm overtook us at midnight while yet in sight of lights on English land, and in the midst ofit our vessel sprung a leak. I knew thatI had a brave woman for my wile, but then I found she was a heroine; I knew my Lucy was good as she was fair, but then she proved she was an angel. There were men on board who seieamed and wailcd like children. She never uttered or shed a tear. She felt that she was going to heaven with all she loved (for she always thought the best of every one), and therefore death had no terrors for her. But Iâ€"~I felt myselfa murderer. Idid what 1 could to save the two old people, and got them into the only boat that left the ship; but it. had not parted from us twice its length, before it capsized before our eyes. Lucy had refused to leave me, and when the vessel begun to sink, 1 lashed her to u spur, and then myself; and so for a little time we floated. But the great waves drench- ed us through and through,und dashed upon us so that. we had hardly time to breathe. The spar was not large enough for both our weights. which sank it too low 'in the water; and sol secretly unloosed the cords that fastened me, and clambered to my Lucy’s side, and kissed her cold wet cheek, and whispered: ‘Farewell Lucy.’ ” “Besides, the fairest, purest creature up on earth was she, and she took all things for pure. Not that there was much against me either, except that I loved good liquor, besides, I only drank forpleasure then, and new But let that be. Well, we were married. We lived with the old couple at the cottage, as Lucy wished, partly fortheir sakes, partly, as I have often thought since then, for mineâ€"that I might be kept out of bad company, such as there was plenty of at Blcamouth at that timeâ€"poachers, smug-- glers and idlers of all sorts. But this was done too late. I have said that the law and I fell out: that was for poachingâ€"and curse the law, say I, which rich men make for the poor perforce to break. I never poached after I married, but before that time 1 shot a hare or two; and onceâ€"but months ago -â€"there had been a fray with keepers, and I had clubbed my gun, and struck my hardest. like the rest. There had been broken bones on both sides, but the matter had blown over, as I thought, when all of a sudden I received certain news that I was marked for one of the offenders, and that men were com- ing to take me from my Lucy’s arms to jail. I told her this, for I had kept nothing from her all along, and I know that she had cour- age, or she would never have married such a man as me, but I forgot, in my selfish roughness, that it is one thing to be brave in things that concern one’s self, and an- other to be able to bear to see others suffer. ‘Ah, Heaven 1’ exclaimed she, ‘ but this will kill my fatherl To have his honest house entered by men in search of felons, and to see his daughter’s husband with gyves upon himâ€"that will be his death, I linow.’ The auld Wife said so likewise.” Here the speaker mused, and covered his rough face. My lady, too, was deeply moved. For near a. minute, neither spoke. Then the man resumed: “I slipped into the sea. and struck out aimlessly enough, but with the instinct of a'swnnmer. F001 that l was, to Wish to live! Again he paused, but, this time, to mutter execration. “And aid not all your care and unselfish love suffice to save her?" asked the "listener tenderly. "No.1udy. She was drowned. 1 never expected otherwise in such a sea. The whole ship’s company were lost, except my- self. When nearly spent, 1 came upon a huge piece of wreck, and held on to it till daylight. when 1 found myselt at sea. 1 was nearer Heaven at that time than 1 have ever been since, and I ought to have per- ished then, when all which made lile preci- ous, had already gone; it would have been far better to have died with her than to live without her. But 1 did live. After two days and three nights of hunger and thirst. avessel picked me up, a sodden mass of rags, half-dead and hemmed. They nursed me and made me wellâ€"it was a. cruel kind- nessâ€"and after many days. was able to tell them what had happened. “Ay, then,” said they, “the pilot was right who came to us of? Falmouth. It was the “North Star” that went to pieces in the storm; you are the sole survivor, man, of all on board.

There was silence for a minute’s space; the strong man’s chest labored in vain to give him breath for utterance; in win his horny hand dashed the big tears from his brown cheeks; they still rained on.

The traveller who had crossed the Fleet, climbed the steep ascent, at Hol- born, and passed the gallows by St. Giles’s Pound, entered the manor and parish at the highest. level ofthe road. Thence a sight descent took him to the narrow bridge over a brook, which, windng through meadows on the right and left, here flowed by the lonely church and church-yard of St. John of Tyburn. The name which calls up now so many unpleasant associations was then iu' noeent of gibbet and stake. A “ tigh.” or enclosure by the burns1de, where the Mary lebone Vestry Hall stands now, may, accord- ing to Mr. Waller, have given its designation to the church. In an ancient charter at Westminster we have the earliest form of the word. A gilt by Oll'a. :o the Abbey two hundred years before is recited in this docu- ment, which dates from 951, and the north-v crn boundary of St. Margaret’s is mentioned as “Teoburne.” ln Domesday it is “Tib- urnc,” and the manor was assessed for live hides, and valued at lil'ty-two-shillings. We further read that it “always lay. and lies, in the church of Barking ”; a form which re- calls another possession of the same abbey, Iugatestone, which was described in the Suiâ€" vey as having been owned “ semper Sancta Maria.” The brook divides it from Lylles- ton on the west, and may still be easily traced. lt crosses Baker Street at Mme. 'l‘ussaud’s, and enters High Street at South Street,tinally leaving the parish wl’ere Bar- rett's Court opens into Oxford Street. But while the abbey held the manor, and for centuries later, a bridge crossed the stream at this point, and until the year 1400, the parish church stood on the eastern bank, a. little above the bridge. It would be ditficult now to conjure up the scene. A high, nar- row, pointed bridge, a stream winding through green fields, a church surrounded by its churchyard, and. in a back ground of woods, the redaroofed houses of the village peeping through the trees, halt'a. mile to the northâ€"such was Tyburn in the fourteenth century; but it must by no means be con- founded either with the later Tyburn, the 'l‘yburn of history. nor yet with the modern Tyburnia. When Bullocksmithy, celebrated by Thackeray as the seat of a bishopric, turned itself into Hazelgrovc, it followed a very ancient precedent. When ltngeley, ashamed of Palmer, applied to the Premier for leave to change its name. and Lord Palmerston laughineg proposed his own, it only sought to do what 'l‘yburn had done in the first years of the fifteenth century. The ‘ old church by the brook was removed. St. John’s became St. Mary-lcâ€"bourne. The old churchyard. perhaps the original “ tigh,” was closed, and a new cemetery was opened near the new church. Everything was re- moved half a mile towards the north, and Bishop Braybrook sanctioned the change because the loneliness of the situation had twice tempted thieves to steal the holy ves- sels. and the site was far from the village istreet. Hencct'orth Tyburn as a name was inseparable from the gallows, and only ap plied to a district ofthe neighbouring manor of Lylleston. Only the narrow lane by the brookside led lrom the Tyburn ltoid to the High Street of St. Mary’s; the newlyâ€" named parish repudiated all connexion with the gallows, and looked the other way as the fatal cart, approaching from St. Gilcs’s fol- lowed the western road to Lylleston, In later years the field which the City had made the place of execution pecame the Conduit Mead, and at an annual visit of the Corpor- ation the springs were inspected, the dinner, without. which no civic ceremony was or is complete, was eaten in the Banqueting House at Stratford Place, and then the Lord Mayor and his attendant alderman hunted a here in the adjoining park of St. Maryle-boue, In 1562 a hare was hunted before dinner’ and a tax after dinner, and the fox was kill- ed in St. Giles’s. But in 1737 the manly in~ stincts of the City magnates had declined. Hares were no longer hunted by Aldermen. and water was no longer brought from Con- duit. Mead. The cisterns were arched over and hidden, and the Banqueting House was pulled down. The bridge over the brook was widened at the same time; and though “Did she? We“. that’s no reason Why you should call me by it.

(5‘0 BE CONTIN UED‘ The Abbess of= Barking let the manor sucâ€" cessively to some of the greatest nobles, and before the church was removed the lease had boom the property ofthe Verses, the Lisles, and tholt'itzalan-s. Its later histm'y is almost peculiar from the number of its subdivisions; .As early as 1415. on the death of Thomas ,Fitz‘ Alan, ,fitlth' Earl of Arundel, his estates ,were divided. among Berkeleys and Nevillcs, Stanleys and How ards. All the .bes families, in England Seemed to have ashare in ‘SL. Marylehone, asit was newly called; but Thomas H'obson, whom we have formerly noticed as holding what is now the Portman estate in them!“ joining manor, the pseudoaTyburn ,b‘ought up one share after another, so that when in 1544 his son exchanged with the King, he had narrowly escaped becoming the founder of a great territorialfamily» {But- theCrown, kept only a portion, that Whi.h was hunting" ground, and the rest was at. first; let and, afterwards sold. Before the end of the sev- enteenth century the , manor increased so much in value that what in the reign of the first William had produced fifty-two shil' lings, in the reign of the third William brouzhtin a rental of 9_00l., and was sold by Sir John Austen for 17.500l. But before another century had gone hythe value of the estate had been multiplied by a hundred at. the least, and, as an example, Wicklow House, in Cavendish Square, may be ad- dneod ; five or six years ago this one tene- ment was sold for 20,000l., beingr 2,500l. more than the whole estate originally cost the ancestor of its present owner. The sub- leases gradually tell in towards the close of the last. century, and when Regent Street was made, White, the architect of the Port- land estate, and who deserves to be remem- bered, made the suggestion that Marylebone Park should be taken up and properly laid as Crown property. Few of the former leaseholders are now remembered, though one of them, Peter Hinde, gave his name to llinde Street, and another, Lord Foley, was able to stop the way when Regent Street. was carried northward towards the new Park. The street which bore his name has diappeaxted, as well as Foley House. but. it was in order that the view from the windows might, .not be interrupted that Portland Place was made so wide, and the Langham Hogtel now benefits by 'his obstinacy. Pennant relates that Mr, Cnrew Mlldmay rc- melnbered to have shot a woodcock in Con‘ dnit Street, there is little now left to remind us of green fields and runnng water. In the ‘dull season, every second year or so some body writes to the papers to announce the discovery of a walled-up cistern. 'and: the futility and fertility of'g-uessing we disnlaved on each occasion. A stone used to mark the situation of one of'these conduits at the junction of Marylebone Lane with Wigmore Street. Another was opened in North Aud-1 ley Street last year. A third was-discovered in Davies- Street not long ago, and two arel said to be under Aldborough House, thel mansion at the end of StratfordPlnce. All; were probably fed by the Tyburn ;..and it is owing, to their former value to the citizens that the Corporation of London still owns the ground in which they stood. . ‘ What is that which no man wants, whichI if any man has, he would notL part. for un‘ told wealth?” “A bald head.” The letter “ 0 ” is called the most char- atable of all the alphabet because it. is found ofteuer than any other in “doing good.” When she struck him over the head with a tin dipper for trying to hiss her. he called it. “ tin tiatinnabulatiou of the belle.” “ All, Jemmy,”said a sympathizng friend toa man who wasjust too late for the train. “you did not run fast enough.” Yes, Idid,” said Jommy; «“ but I didn’t Start soon enough.“ Any excuse better than none.

Josh Billings writes that "Philosonhers aul agree that the milk is put into the kokernut and the hole is neatly plugged up ; but who the feller is who duz it, the philosophers are honest enough, for a wonder, to admit they can’t tell us.” U DRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE.--l\IULTXTUDEs OF PEOPLE uro hopelessly suffering from Debility, Nervous and.
