He resolved to Rave it replaced by @ tooth drawn trom anoth- er person's jaw—trusting to what the doctors called “bhesling by @ second intention.” The Borrowed tooth was fitted in its place accord- ingly; but strange to say, the tion ended in inoculating Dis system with some poison- virus, which ght on cancer of the mouth. The unfortana'e pameas did not long survive the experiment. On the news of Kelly’s cruel fate becoming Maown, there was great anxiety among the adandies to secure the services of his valet, who alone was in the secret of the wonderful Dlacking. The valetstated that his late master Aad paid bim ove hundred and fifty pounds a ear. but tbathe should now expect a great creased salary. Lord Yarmouth (popularly kmown 4s « Red Herrings,” trom his red whis- ers, bair and face. ard from the fish for which Yarmonth is famous) ultimately secured this Govalurble valet for two hundred pounds a | ear. =~ Brumre!! always insisted upon the soles of Riis boots being po'ished as well as the upper Jeatbers. “He kriew,” says Capt.

He endeavored to secure his Object by insisting that every part of his chaus- sure should be equally attended to.” Reduced almost to destitution, he could hard- ly be prevailed upon to abandon the expensive jaxury of Vernis de Guiten, ordered expressly © for bim from Paris, at five francs a bottle. At last a merciless beot maker threatened toim- | prison him if a long overdue account for Ver- Ris be not paid. The poor beau writes to Arm- strong. his kind agent, imploring assistance: “I willenter into any promise with you on | the subject of this d—d polish that you may demand, ifyou will instantly enable meto pay this scoundrel.” A month later he writes: «I Dave never trespassed upon the rules of economy which you dictated to me. excepting in one instance. and that has been that d—d execrable blacking. I have now relinquished it forever.” Next he foregoes his starched white cravats, appearing in that pet aversion of his life, a | ck sitk neckerchief. Soon the poor creatare bas bardly clothes to bis back, or shoes to his feet. Starch or blacking are very small mat- ters to bim now.

Lord Petersham was tall and bandsome, and is said to have possessed a remarkably win- ning smile. He flattered himself npon his re- aermmblance to the portraits of Henry IV of nce, He was affected in manner, andspoke with alisp. He had a passion forbrown. His carriages were of that hue,as were also his horses, and harness, and liveries This devo- tion wss sup have had reference to a Peete affection of his lordship for a fair bat ickle widow, whose name was Brown.
