SWEETHEART SEEING.
St. Mark’s Eve.—In Chancery, August 2, 1827. In a cause, “Barker v. Ray,” a deponent swore, that a woman, named Ann Johnson, and also called “Nanny Nunks,” went to the deponent, and said to her, “I’ll tell you what I did to know if I could have Mr. Barker. On St. Mark’s night I ran round a haystack nine times, with a ring in my hand, calling out, ‘Here’s the sheath, but where’s the knife?’ and, when I was running round the ninth time, I thought I saw Mr. Barker coming home; but he did not come home that night, but was brought from the Blue Bell, at Beverley, the next day.”
THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.
Controversy.
A man who is fond of disputing, will, in time, have few friends to dispute with.
Speech.
Truth is clothed in white. But a lie comes forth with all the colours of the rainbow.
