TWO OF MONK LEWIS'S STORIES. {From Rozers’s ‘‘ Table-Talk.’’} In Monk Lewis's writings there is a deal of bad taste; but still he was a man of genius. I'll tell you two stories which he was very fond of ating, (and which Windham used tolike.) The firstis: Tue SkeLeTon in THe Cavrca Poro Some travelers were supping at an inn in Ge: many, and sent for-the landlord to give him a glass of wine. in the course of conversation the landlord remarked that a certain person whom they happened to speak of was as ob- stinate as the Skeleton in the Church-porch ‘«What is that ?’’ they inquired. The land lord said that he alluded to a skeleton which it was impossible to keep under ad; that he had twice or thrice assisted Piaytog it in the charnel, but that always, the day after it had been buried, it was found lying in the church-porch. The travelers were greatly struck by this account; and they expressed an eager desire to see the refractory skeleton. At last, a young serving woman coming into the room, they asked her if she, for a reward, would go to the church porch and bring the skeleton tothem She at first refused to do so; but eventually the travelers offered a sum of money which she could not resist. Be it particularly observed that the young woman was then dig with child Well, off she set to the church ; and having found the skeleton in its usual place, she brought it to tie inn on her back, and laid it upon the table before the travelers. They bed no sooner looked at it than they wished it gone; and they pre- vailed on the young woman, for another sum of money to carry it again to the chureh- h. When she arrived there she set it jown ; and turning away, she was ‘ing quickly along the path which led from the church, and which was seen stretching out be- fore her in the clear moonlight, when she sad- denly felt the skeleton leap upon her back. She tried to shake it off; but in vain. She then fell on her knees and said her prayers Theskeleton then relaxed its hold; and she again rushed down the path, when, as before, the skeleton leapt upon her back. “TI will never quit you,’’ it suid, ‘‘ until you descend into the charnel, and obtain forgiveness for the skeleton that lies in the church-porch.”’ She paused a moment ; then summoning up her courage, she replied she would do so. The skeleton dropped off. Down she went into the charnel ; and, after groping about for some time, she perceived the pale figuro ef a lady, sitting by a Jamp, and reading She advaneed towards the figure, and kneeling, said, *‘ | ask forgiveness for the skeleton that lies in the church porch.’’ The lady read on without looking at her. Again she repeated her supplication, but still the Iady read on, regardless of it The young woman tben as- cended from the charnel, and was running down the path when the skeleton once more arrested her progress. ‘I will never quit you,”’ it said, ** till you obtain forgiveness for tbe skeletom that lies in the church porch : go again into the charnel and askit.’’ Again the young woman descended, and, advancing to_the lady sank upon her knees, and cried, “I come a second time to ask forgiveness for the skeleton that lies in the church porch. Oh, grant that forgiveness' the skeleton im- plores it, L implore it? the babe that I bear in my womb implores it!’’ The lady turned her head towards the speaker, gave a faint smile, and disappeared On coming up from the charnel, the young woman found the skele- ton standing erect in the porch. “I am now here,’’ it said, *‘ not. to trouble you, but to thank you; you haye at length procured me restin the grave. I was betrothed to the lady ‘ou saw in the charnel ; and I basely deserted er for another. I stood at the altar, about to be married to my second love, when sud- denly she rushed into the church, and stabbed herself with a dagger, said to me, as she was expiring, ‘ you shall never rest in the grave— no, never, ‘till the babe unborn shall ask for- giveness for you’’ The skeleton rewarded the good offices of the young woman by dis- covering to her the place where a heap of treasure was concealed. The second story is: Lorp Howrn’s Rar.—Tom Sheridan waa Shooting on the moors in Ireland, and lost his dog. A day or two after, it made its appear- ance, following an Irish laborer. It was re- stored to Sheridan, who remarked to the la- borer that “the dog seemed very familiar with him’? The answer was, ‘‘ Yes, it fol- lows me, as the rat did Lord Howth.”’ An inquiry about the rat drew forth what is now to be told. Lord Howth, having dissipated his property, retired in very low spirits toa fonely chateau on the sea-coast. One stormy night a vessel was seen to go down; and next morning a raft was seen floating towards the shore. As it approached, the bystanders were surprised to find that it was guided by a lady, who presently stepped upon the beach. She was exquisitely beautiful; but they were un- able to discover who or what she was, for she spoke in an un unknown tongue. Lord Howth was struck with pity for this fair stranger, and conducted her to his chateau. There she remained for a considerable time, when he became enamored of her, and at last a-ked her to become his wife. She (having now learned the English language) thanked him for the honor he had intended her; but de clared in the most positive manner that she could never be his. She then earnestly ad- vised him to marry a certain lady of a neigh- boring county. He followed her advice ; paid his addresses to the lady, and was accepted. Before the marriage, the beautiful stranger took a ribbon from her hair, and binding it round the wrist of Lord Howth, said, “« Your happiness ee eer upon your never parting with this ribbon ’’ He assured her that it should remain on his wrist’ She then disap- peared, and was never seen again The mar- riage took place. The ribbon was a matter of much curiosity to the bride ; and one night, when Lord Howth was asleep, she removed it from his wrist and carried it to the fire, that she might read thejcharacters inscribed upon it. Accidentally she let the flame reach it, and it wasconsumed. Some time after, Lord Howth was giving a grand banquet in his hall, when the company were suddenly dis- turbed by the barking of dogs. This, the servants said, was occasioned by a rat which the dogswere pursuing. Presently the rat, followed by the dogs, entered the hall. It mounted on the table, and ranning up to Lord Howth, stared at him earnestly with its bright, black eyes. He saved its life; and from that moment it never qui:ted him! wherever he was, alone or with his friends, there was the rat. Atlast the society of the rat became very disagrecable to Lord Howth; and his brother urged him to leave Ireland for a time, that he might get ridof it He did so, and roceeded to Marseilles, accompanied by his other. They had just arrived at that place, and were sitting in the room of an hotel, when the door opened, and in came the rat. It was dripping wet, and went straight to the fire to dry itself. Lord Howth’s brother, greatiy enraged at the intrusion, seized the ker, and dashed out his brains. * You ee murdered me,”’ cried Lord Howth, and instantly expired.

She Jet not concealment, like a worm in the bud, prey on that damask cheek, however; but when her father asked her why she pined she always told him The old gentieman wa: a widower and loved his girl dearly.

Menare not, however, so stabborn io such matters, and when the father saw that his ery seagate heart was really set upon the match, he surprised her one day by breaking out: ‘Mary, rather than mope to death, thou hadst better marry as the chooses and when thee pleases.”’ Aad what did Mery?

She clap, ber neat plain bonneton her head, walked direct ly into the street, and then as directly to the house of her intended as the street could car- ry her. She walked into the house without knocking—for knocking was not fashionable then—she found the family just sitting down to dinner. Some little commotion was ex- hibited at so unexpected an parition as an heiress in the widow’s co , but she heeded it not. John looked up uiringly. She walked to him and took his hand in hers ““John,’’ said she, *‘ father says I may have thee.” And John got directly up from the dinner table and went to the parson’s. In — twenty-five minutes they were man and Wile Notes axp Queries, No. 999 —“Tomnod- dy” asks, ‘‘where is Palmyra, and why is it always spoken of as being ruined ?’’ Palmyra isin the State of New York. It was once a very flourishing place, having as many as sev- en or eight hundred inhabitants; but the con- struction of the Middlesex Canal, under the auspices of the celebrated Sir Henry Clinton. led to its ruin. It was swimming across this cansl that Leander Snooks lost his life, and the name of Heli’s Point was given to the place, by his indignant cotemporaries. Pal- myra was socalled because there were ne palm trees within athousand miles of it. in Strict accordance with American usage. ; “The Isles of Greece,”’ mentioned by an English poet of the name of Byron, are See tucket and Marthx’s Vineyard, once famous for their success in the whaling business.
