THE DAILY fcvENIMG TlEL'E'G R ATHPH1X ADELPHI A t THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1871. A CHAPTER OF GOSSIP. I In a charming book, recently published in England under the title of "Charles Young and his Times," we find a great Dumber of anecdotes and reminiscences of persons who have long since passed away, bnt whose names never fail to awaken interest and curiosity. We make a few extracts, premising that Young was in his time an actor of great celebrity. - Great writers in their own houses, like prophets among their own people, proverbi ally lack much of the consideration they find abroad. Mrs. Douplas Jerrold always won dered what it was people found in her hus band's jokes to laugh at. It is said that many years had passed over the head of Burns' son before the young man knew'that his father was famous as a peet. It is certain that Wal ter Scott's eldest son had arrived at more than manhood before he had the curiosity to read one of his sire's novels. lie thought little of it when he had read it. This want of appreciation the son derived from his mother. Once, when Young, the actor, was admiring the fashion of the ceiling in Scott's drawing-room at Abbotsford, Lady Scott exclaimed, in her droll Guernsey accent, "Ah! Mr. Young, you may look up at the bosses in the ceiling as long as yon like, but you must not look down at my poor carpet, for I am ashamed of it. I must get Scott to write some more of his nonsense books and buy me a new one !" To those who remember the charm of Young's musical voice, Lady Dacre's liDes on his reciting "Tam o' Shanter" to the other guests at Abbotsford will present themselves without any thought of differing from their conclusion, thus neatly put: "And Tam o' Phanter roaring fon, By thee embodied to our vtw, The rustic bard would own sae true, lie scant could tell Wha 'twas the livln' picture drew, Thou or hunger !'' It is a curious fact that Scott, harmonious poet as he was, had no ear for music, unless it were that of a ballad, and he would repeat that horribly out of tune. He was, however, in tune with all humanity; as much so with a king as with the humblest of his subjects. When he went on board the royal yacht, which had arrived near Leith, with George IV, amid such rain as only falls in Scotland, Scott, in an off-hand yet respectful way, toli the king that the weather reminded him of the stormy day of his own arrival in the Western Highlands weather which so disgusted the landlord of the inn, who was used to the very worst, that he apologized for it. "Gude guide us! this is just awfu'! Sic can a down-pour, was ever the like! I really beg your pardon! I'm sure it's nae faut o' mine. I canna think how it should happen to rain this way just as yon o' a' men i' the warld should come to see us! It looks amaist personal! I can only say, for my part, I'm just ashamed o' the weather!" Having thus spoken to the king, Scott added, "I do not know, sire, that I can improve upon the language of the honest innkeeper. I canna think how it should rain this way just as vour Majesty, of all men in the world, should have condescended to come and sea us. I can only say, in the name of my country men, I'm just ashamed o' the weather!" It was at Soott's petition that the royal landing was deferred till the next day, which brought all the sunshine that was considered neces sary for the occasion. Poor old George III can not be said at any time to have been "every inch a king." He was certainly not, by nature, a cruel m. Yet he betrayed something akin to cruelty when, on the night of the Lord George Gordon riots, an officer who had been ac tively employed in suppressing the rioters waited on the king to make his report. George III hurried forward to meet him, crying out, with Bcreaming iteration, "Well! well! well! I hope you peppered them well! peppered them well! peppered them well!" There may, however, have been nothing more in this than there was in Wellington's injunction to his officers on the day that London was threatened with a Chartist revolutiod, "Re member, gentlemen, there must be no little war!" In such cases humanity to revolu tionists is lack of mercy to the friends of order. It is well known that George III had an insuperable aversion to Dr. John Willis, who bad attended him when the king was laboring under his early intermitting attacks of in sanity. Willis was induced to take tempo rary charge of the king, on Pitt's promise to make hiux a baronet and give him a pension of 1500 a year pleasant things which never came to pass. Queen Charlotte hated Willis even more than the king did. The physician earned that guerdon by putting George III in a strait-waistcoat whenever he thought the royal violence required it. The doctor took this step on his own respon sibility. The Queen never forgave him, and the King, as long as he had memory, never forgot it. In 1811, when the fatal relapse oc curred, brought on, Willis thought, by Pitt's persistent pressure of the ltoman Catholio claims on the King's mind, the Chanoellor and the Prince of Wales had some difficulty in in ducing the doctor to take charge of the sove reign. When Willis entered that part of Windsor Castle which was inhabited by the king he heard the monarch humming a favor ite song in his room. A moment after George III crossed the threshold on the landing place. He was in Windsor uniform, as to his coat, blue with scarlet curls and collar, a star on the breast. A waistcoat of buff chamois leather, buckskin breeches and top-boots, with the familiar three-cornered hat, completed the costume. He came forth as a bridegroom from bis chamber, full of hope and joy, like Gymon, "whistling as he went for want of though," and switching his boot with his whip as he went. Suddenly, as his eye fell on Willis, be reeled back as if he had been shot. He shrieked out the hated name, called on God, and fell to the ground. It was long before the unhappy sovereign could be oalmed. In his own room the king wept like a child. Every now and then he broke into heart rending exclamations of "What can I do without doing wrong ? They forget my coro nation oaui; uui i aon t : un, my oatn : my oath! my oath!" The king's excitement on seeing Willlia was partly caused by his remembering the queen's promise that Willis should never be called in again in case of the king's illness Willis on that occasion consented to stay with the king after a fear ful scene bad taken place with the queen, her doctors, and council. When Mr. Julian Y nn nor kniw Willis, from whom ha ho,1 the above details, the doctor was above eighty years of age, upright and active. He was still a mighty hunter ; and, unless Mr. Young was misinformed, on the very day before his death he shot two or three brace of snipes in the morning, and danced at the Lincoln ball at night. Willi did not reach bis hundredth year, as Dr. Roult, of Magdalen College, Oxford, did. Just beforo the death of the latter Lord Campbell visited and had a long conversation with biru. At parting the centenarian calmly remarked, "I hope it will cot be many years before we uit-tt gaiu.n "Did he think," said Lord Campuell afterward, "that be and I were ,g ting to live forever ?" Muiiarchs, who have to submit to many tyrannies by which monarobs alone can suffer, must have an especial dread of levees and fresentations. The monotony must be kill ng; at the very best, irritating. George IV had the stately dreariness very much relieved. On one occasion, when a nervous gentleman was bowing and passing before him, a lord in waiting kindly whispered to him, "Kiss bands!" The nervous gentleman ac cordingly moved on to the door, turned round, and there kissed his hands airily to the king by way of kindly farewell. George IV laughed almost as heartily as his brother, King William, did at an unlucky alderman who was at court on the only day Mr. Julian Young ever felt himself constrained to go into the royal presence. The alderman's dress sword got between his legs as he was back ing from that presence, whereby he was tripped npand ftll backward on the floor. King William cared not a fig for dignity. He re marked with great glee to those who stood near, "By Jove! that fellow has out a snd the kingly laughter was, as it were, crab!" poured point-blank into the floundering alder man. This was not encouraging to Mr. Young, who had to follow. As newly-ap- fointed royal chaplain in Hampton Court 'alace Chapel, King William had expressed a wish to see him at a levee, and obedience was a duty. The chaplain had been told by Sir Horace Seymour that he had nothing to do but follow the example of the gentleman who might happen to be before him. The prin cipal directions to the neophyte were, "Cow very low, and do not turn your back on the king." The instant the chaplain had kissed the king's hand, however, he turned his back upon his sovereign, and hurried off. Sir Horace Seymour afterwards consoled him for this breach of etiquette by statin cr that a Surrey baronet who had followed him made a wider breach in court observance. The un lucky baronet, seeing the royal hand out stretched, instead of reverently putting his lips to it, caught hold of it and wrung it heartily. The king, who loved a joke, proba bly enjoyed levees, the usual monotony of which was relieved by such screaming-farce incidents as these. Those royal brothers, sons of George III, were remarkably oHtspoken. They were not witty themselves, but they were now and then the cause of wit in others. It must have been the Duke of Cumberland who (on listen ing to Mr. Nightingale s story of having been run away with when driving, and that at a critical moment be jumped out of the car riage) blandly exclaimed, "Fool! fool!" "Now, said Nightingale, on telling the inci dent to Horace Smith, "it's all very well for bim to call me a fool; but I can't conceive why he should. Can you?" "No!" rejoined Horace, "I can t, because be could not sup pose you ignorant of the fact!" Among the most unhappy lords ot them selves who lived in a past generation, there was not one who might have been so happy, had he pleased, as the author of "Vathek. It is very well said of Ueckford that there has seldom existed a man who, inheriting so much, did so little for his fellow-creatures. There was a grim humor in some of his ao tions. In illustration of this we may state that when Beckford was living in gor-. geous seclusion at Fonthill.two gentlemen, who were the more curious to spy into the glories of the place because strangers were for bidden, climbed the park walls at dusk, and on alighting within the prohibited inclosure found themselves in presence of the lord of the place. Beckford .. awed, them fey bia proud condescension. He politely - dragged them through all the splendors of his palace, and then, with cruel courtesy, made them dine with him. When the nigut was advanced he took his involuntary guests into the park, bidding them adieu with the re mark that, as they found their way in, they might find their way out. It was as bad as bandaging a man's eyes on Salisbury Plain, and bidding him find his way to Bath. At sunrise the weary guests, who had pursued a fruitless voyage of discovery all night, were guided to a point of egress, and they never thought of calling on their host again. Heady wit in women (now passed away;, wit, too, combind with ' courage, is by no means rare, During the ruro-diaboiicai reign of "Swing," that incarnation of ruffianism, in the person of the most hideous blackguard in the district, with a mob f thieves and mur derers at his back, attacked Fifield, the old family residence of two elderly maiden ladies named Penruddock. When the mob were on the point of resorting to extreme violence, Miss Betty Penruddock expressed her aston ishment to the ugly leader of the band that "such a good-looking man as he should be cap tain of such an ill-favored band of robbers. Never again will I trust to good looks!" cried the old lady, whose flattery so touohed the vanity of "Swing" that he prevailed on his followers to desist. "Only give us some beer," he said, "and we won't touch a hair of your head!" "You can't," re torted the plucky old lady, "for I wear a wig !" On the other hand, the vanity of young ladies was once effectually checked at Hampton Court Chapel. A youthful beauty once fainted, end the handsome Sir lloraoe Seymour carried her out. On successive Sundays successive youthful beauties fainted, and the handsome Sir Horaoe carried them successively out, till he grew tired of bearing such sweet burdens. A report that in future all swooning nymphs would be carried out of the chapel by the dustman cured the epi demic Much has been said of the ladies of Llan gollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Pon sonby. We question if in all that has been written of those pseudo-recluses they have been half bo well hit off as by Mrs. Morris, a lodging-house keeper in the neighborhood. "I must say, Sir, after all," observed Mrs. Morris, "that they were very charitable and cantankerous. They did a deal of good, and never forgave an injury!" There is some thing of the ring of Mrs. Poyser in this pithily rendered judgment. Quite as sharp a pas sage turns up in the person of an eocentrio toll-keeper, Old Jeffreys, who was nearly des titute of mental training, and whom Mr. Julian Young was anxious to draw to church service. The old man was ready for him. "Yes, sir, it be a pity, hain't it? We pike keepers, and shepherds, and carters, and monthly nnsses has got Bonis as well as them that goes to church and chapel. But what can ns do? 'Why,' I Bays, Bays I, to the last parson as preached to me, 'don't catechism aayffummat or other about doing our duty in ttttt state of life in which we be?' So, after -all, when I be taking toll o' Sundays, I'm not far wrong, am I?" The rector proposed to find a paid substitute for him while be at tended church. Jeffreys was ready with his reply. "That 'ud never do, sir, he said. "What! leave mv post to a stranger? What would master say to me if he heard on't?" Mr. Julian Young, pointing with pleasure to a Bible on old Jeffreys' bhelf, expressed a Lope that he fteu read it. "Can't say as bow I do, err, was the candid rejoinder, "I alius cetu so poorus over it !" When the rector tdluded to a certain wench as "dis reputable, Jenreys protested In the very spirit of chivalry. "Don't do that! Do as I do4 I alius praises her. Charity hides a deal o sin, master! ain t that scripture? If it are, ran I to be leotured at for sticking up and Raying a good word for she?" When it "was urged that this light-o'-love queen ought 16 be married, Samaritan Jeffrye stepped ik with bin sympathetic balsam. "Poor thing!" he exclaimed, "she ain't no turn to it!" The apo logy was worthy of my Uncle Teby. FINANCIAL INVESTMENT SECURITIES. JAY COOKE & CO.
