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.
