I db not know why—except that I wore a.
great. beard and seldom left. my roomswbm when
l I‘elirrd to S-epchesmr to write a. book, people
thought I was mad.
Headless of all around me, I worked on, «lay
after day, week after week, mnnlh after month,
and on the 315: of April I walked into my little
garden, and if 1 did not, fevl vxncdy as proud
as did‘lhe great historian. Gibbon, when he
completed the Rise and Fall. I nevertheless
thanked Heaven, from the bot-tom of my heart,
that. the business was at. an and.
On the f<»lluwing morning I rose in high spi—
rim. 11. was as beautiful it day as ever ems seen.
I had now leisure to admire the flOWEIS that
were blooming around me and pertaining the
air, and to Which the wanton birds on the wing,
chasing each other from bough to bough.
. I gave orders for the hair-dresser to he. enm—
moned ; after H. brief delay he come. He Was
:1 tall. thin man, with a long, red nose, mud n
vex-y liquorish eye. His manner was so ner
vous and restless that I won haif afraid to trust
him Io shave me, and I was not a. little glad
when the opstmtion was ev'ermhishnnd trembled
so violently, and he looked at me in such a
strange and terrified fashion. Whilst he was
cutting my hair I begun to talk to him; but
oil that I could extract from him was, “Yes
sir, 0 yes, sir; you are quite right, sir.” Even
when I :18de him a question—for instance,
“ Have you any idea how for it. is from this to
Hastings by Waien?" his only msponso wn's
conveyed in the words above quoted. “Yes,
sir; Oyes, sir; you are quite right, sir.”—
When this man left the house, the impression
on my mind was that he wns insane; and I
intimuted as much to Robert. my man servant;
but he only smiled, and remarked, “ He may
he, sii', for all I know.”
My' toilette completed, I sullicd forth to
minglb with the world. It occurred to me that
I would, in the first instance, call at the shops
of thel tradospooplo With whom I had dealt,
through the agency of my servants, and ex
pressto them some few words of compliment",
I, of course, took it for granted that they knew
my name, and that I was one of their custonr
era. .
Thtlbutcher’s shop was the first that 1 was
passntg, and I looked in. “ Good morning, sir,”
said I; crossing the portal. ' "
‘ Thl butcher, whose size Was about double
1 that r} mine. eyed me with some concern ; and,
‘ befor .replying to my salutation, removed from
the bhck his cleaver, knife and steel, which he
hodjlet been using, and then, in a. somewhat
confused manner, he made his exit through a.
back 1001'. leaving me in sole possession or the
shOPg IWnited a, reasonable time'; but, finding
that to did not return, I took my departure,
perfetly convinced that the butcher was mad.
M 3 next visit was to the baker’s—a. very
respectable man with u very intelligent coun
tenance. I observed that he, too. was rather
unealy When I spoke to him, and to my :15-
toniament, when I casually took up a. half
pounl weight which was on the counter, he
ru.»h:d—literally rushed—into the street, and
atom [on the opposite side thereof. There was
but me conclusion at which I could arrivc—~
nnm Iy, that the baker was as mad as the
but-clot.
Tle grocer, into whose shop I next went, be
have! 1:1? better than either the butcher or the
bake, for he talked to me for at least. five
mimtes. At the expiration of that time, how
ever he 119de me, very‘politely, if not abjecuy,
to e-euse him for a few minutes; and, putting
on 115 hilt, he took a hasty departure into the
stret, and turned the corner. It. is perhaps
needess for me to state that I did not see any
man Of my grocer, of whose sanity I then
enlemuged but. a very indifferent. opinion.
Opoalte to the grocerfs shop was that of the
boofieller and stationer, who had supplied me
witipens and ink, and other little matters. 0n
entfing. I found the shop empty; but. I saw
thep9kseller and his wife—partners in alarm
~s9rmg al. me through a suiall glass window.
I angled blandly at them, bowed, and evinced
by y manner that I wished to be served. But
in {lll. The more I smiled, the more solemn
beolne the expression of their countenances.
Be mm: impatient, I scowled, whereupon the
b 0 seller and. his wife retired altogether.
udering what on earth the people meant, I
dir ted my steps towards the livery stable
ke er’s,~where I intended to hire a. horse, for
th urpose of taking a enter in some of the
.quii. lanes in the vicinity. The livery stable
keler, in the politest manner imaginable—but
keeping at a considerable distance from me—
said he did not. think that he had a horse that
would suit- nm; that. he would go and see. He
didgo. But he did not, come back again. Ithcn
went. up the yard, and called out “Ostler!”
several times at the top of my voice, (rather a
loud one,) but. as I received no answer, I
deemed it useless to remain any longer. and
made my way to the hotel opposite, where I
asked for a. pint of Canterbury ale. I was
served by a very pretty and engaging young
lady, to whom 1 derived to pay a modest and
dignified compliment. But. alas! no sooner
had she placed the ole before me than she m
pnidly vanished, and shut the coffee room door
after her.
When I had drunk the ale, I rang the bell.
It, was not answered. I then made a. noise on
the floor with my heavy walking stick. To no
purpose. I opened the door of the coffee room
and looked into the passage. There was no one
lhere. I called aloud, Waiter! There was no
reply. I could hear no one ; not a. sound; the
hmjse was seemingly empty. I left, a Sixpence
and a piece of honeysuckle near the empty
mnkmd, and walked away in utter disgust.
My watch required regulating; but Icouid
not get. into the watchmaker’s shop, for he had
bolted his door when he saw me approaching.
IL was the same at, the circulating library. to
which institution I was anxious to subscribe, for
during the winter I had growu to like this limu
watering place, and resolved on spending the
summer there.
What could be the monoin g of the erlcspco
ple’s conducn was a. question I put to myself,
over and over again, on my way to the pier, for
I now intended hiring a. boat for a. sail. But.
the fact, was, I could not gel: a. boon. Every
one of the men to whom I spoke made some
vxcuse or other for not t king me on the “'3!
tor. One said that. the Wind would soon shift,
and we should‘ not be able to get back that
night; another told me that. his mast was
sprung; a. third, that the point was not dry
inside, and that Iwould spoil my clothes And,
what was even more provoking still, I found
myself surrounded by at. least a score of these
amphibious animalg, who listened to all I said
with much eagerness, though upon each face
there was a. brood grin which struck me as very
meaningless.
I relracod my steps to my cottagen—men, WO
men and children avoiding; me, as I paesed
through the few streets of the little town—and
summoned my man-servant Robert, to whom I
memioned what had taken place, asking him if
he could possibly account for such demeanor.
Robert smiled, and replied:
“0, yes, sir!”
“Then do so,” I said to him.
“The truth is, sir,” he went on to say, “that
all the peaple hereabums think you are a mad
man, and that 1 am your keeper.” V
“What!” I exclaimed
“It is quite true. sir ; and, as neither myself
nor my wife could disobey your order, we could
not tell the poeple who you were and what you
were, and what you were doing. All they could
judge by was what they saw ; and sometimes.
when you were walking about the garden, and
talking loud to yourself, you certainly did. look
rather queer, sir. By at least forty or fifty peo
ple have I been asked if you were hurmlussl—w
‘Hurmless ?’ ‘ch!’ Isaid; ‘and there’s nothing
the matter with. kink-he ain’t mad,’ But they
only shook their heads at that. I had, at one
time, to go round to the parents of the little
boys and girls who run about the streets, and
prevent them allowing their children to shout
mfteryou.”
“Shunt eftcrme l”
“Yes, sir. Aft-er you passed them they
would follow in a. body, shouting out, ‘There
goes the mad ’un ." You did 'not notice them,
of course 'l'”
“And you mean to tail mo,” saidl “ that all
the people in the place thought. me insane and
think so still '1” '
“ Yes, sir; all, wiih only one exception."
“ Who mm; that be ‘E’
“An old man. sir, who is eighty-nine years
ofa-ge. Passing the cottage. one. morning, when
you were walking abom the garden, the old
man said, ‘ Folks think your master mad; but
I know better, for I haw listened to him more
than twice or thrice, and I have come to the
conclusion that he is writing a. book, or else
that he is a lawyer working up some greatcnse
tlmtis coming on for trial.’ On asking him
how he came to ihink that, sir, he said he re
membered Mr. Erskine, afterwards the famous
Lord Erskine, who used to come down here
often, and stay for a few day in an old house
that stood where this cottage now stands.”
To have a conversation with an old man who
could recollect Erskine, and answer my ques
tions a-nent that illustrious orator and advocate,
would indeed, I thought, he a. great treat.
“WhO‘is the. old man? \hat. is he ‘3” I
asked.
" His name is Cardingfirsir. He was, in
former days, :1. bold smugglér; but. he has now
an independence on which he lives.”
“ Do you think he would come and see me 1’”
“ I am sure he would, sir.”
“ Then bring him here."
In less than half ‘an hour Robert returned
with old Mr. Carding, who was still very erect,
and whose faculties were in excelkem. preser
vation. His eyesight was good. he was far from
deaf, and he spoke with n. rapidity and distinct.-
ness that. astonished me. I asked him to be
seated, and after he had drank a. glass or two
of the sherry which I placed before him. I came
to the point. by saying 1
“ I am told you remember the late Lord
Erskine ‘2"
“Remember him well, sir,” was his reply;
“ knew him long before he was the great men
that he became. He was about nine or ten
years my senior. For along time no one knew
who he was, and he used to go by the name of
the Rampant Madman. Most people were
frightened at him, and the mothers used 1:0
make a. sort of Bogey of him to frighten their
naughty, children. ‘l'll send for that mifd

" How '3"
“On one Saturday afternoon he brought.
down with hint! 1). young gentleman of ahout
WWW 3'93“ 9f age. who walked about. the
pier while Mr. Erskine was making 3 speech
out, upon the rocks. One of the men on the
pier remarked to this young gentlemen, ‘Whnt

with laughter, and then let- the not out. of the
bag by saying who his friend was. in was of.
tel-wards that I. and several others then here,
but. now gone to their nccount, came to know
him so well. And a right. merry gentleman he
could be, too. Lord bless us, air! swift. as
time flies, it. seems only as yesterday that he
would comu dowu here and any to us, as he made
his way to the cliff, with his hands in his
breechee pockets. and walking; like a sailor (he
laud been in the navy, you know. sir :) ‘ Come
along. my lads, and be the'jury! lam going
to make another spec-ch.’ Am! a moat beauti
ful thing it was to listen to him. One minute
he would make you laugh heartily, and the next.
minute he’d bring the water into your eyes, by
the tender way in which he’d allude. to a fading
flower or a sickly child. There was one case. in
particular, I remember. It was an action
brought against 9. Mr. Somehudy or other by n.
lord‘s eldest. son, for carrying oti' the wife. It.
was most, beautiful—us we told him when he
asked us how we liked it. Blast. if he didn’t
make out as how the defendant was the ill-used
party. and not the man as had lost his wife.—
Ezpensive n 3 travelling was in those days, five
of us went up to London to hear him sppak
that speech in court, before the Judges and the
regularly sworn jury: and such :1. crowd as
there Was of lords and gentlemen. to he sure 1”
“And did he speak that some speech 1" I
asked.
“Yeti. In parts: it was a little different, and
some things were added; but it. was. in the main,
just what. he snigi manding out on them rocks
yondrr. There was no sully prim: about. Mr.
Erskine. sir. 11.9 soon as the case was over,
and he was coming out. of court, his quick eye
caught. sight-cf us; and up he comes. puts out
his hand to each of us, and guys, ‘Whut! you
here, my lads? Well. follow me.’ And he
walks off lo an old public house near the court,
caller] the Chequers, and orders two bottles of
port wine for us; and, while we were drinking
it, explained I'2o us as how it were not possible
for him to win the any; and that all the effect.
his speech would have, would be to reduce the
damages. He was mighty pleased lo hear him
salt‘praised, and seemed just as proud of our
approval as of anybonly’s else. 1 don’t think,
sir,” continued the old man, “that Mr. Erskine
felt any of the fine things he said in hisspeeches.
It was all acting with him; and I’ll tell you
why I think so. One day he was walking along
the sands, spouting of poeéry out of' a book—he
was learning Mia, for be read it. over and over
again—and while he was doing so he turned up
his eyes, shook his head, and stretched forth.
his right hand, in such a. way that you might;
have taken him for n street parson. It. Was a.
most svrious tort. of poetry. _ It. was something
about ‘Farewell the drums and files, the ban
ners and the big guns—and the plumes and the
feathers. cocked hats and swords, and the viz--
tunus wars and the fair women—honors, deco
rations. and rewards!’ O farcwrll everything!

of a sudden, sir, he shut-. 1 up the beak. claps it:
under his arm. whistles 9. jig, and dam-cs to it,
and remarkably well, too, did he come the
double shuffle. Another time, when he was
reading out, merry. i saw him work himsrlf’ up
till the tears actually rulird down his cheeks;
and not two minutes afterwards he was playing
at rounder-5 with all. the link: boys on the
bench.” ‘
“And did Mr. Erskine know,” I asked the
old smuggler, “thaL {it 12:53. you all thought. that
he was mad 2'”
“Yes: and was very much amused at it.
And it is to be hoped that you will not. take
ofi’encc, because the peopie hes-c had :he same
opinion of yom'sefi',“
“But, my good sir," I remarked, “they are
still laboring under the impression.”
“Very true,” he rejoined; "but.“ will be all‘
right in a. day or so ”
On the foHJwing morning Robert’s wife was
token smitlcnly ill; and 1' seat for the doctor. a
very able practioner, and a very gontlemnnliko
man. He came; and, after seeing his patient,
and assuring me that the case was not. one of
:1 serious nature, we entered into conversation
upon genemlmnuers, during which I mentioned
what had happened on the previous day. The
doctor laughed, and said: ,
“1 hope you will not be oh'ended. but. do you
know that oniy till the other dny, when. by the
met-est accident, I became acquainted with the

\Hsmxmox Invrxo NEARLY KILLED BY A
Jumts INDIAN.—-—The following. is an extract.
from some reéollections of Washington Irving
in the Home Journal: .
“ I was nearly killed by an Indian, once,”
said Irving, one evening. “ When I was a
young mam, I was traveling in Canada. with a.
friend. There were more Indians there than
than there are white men now. One raw, chilly
day we were rowing in a canoe on the Saint
Lawrence, with an Indian for a guide. As we
neared the spot Where Ogdensburg now stnulds,
he invited us to his Wigwam to get something
to eat. Securing the canoe to the_ shore, we
found his squaw busily cooking venison. Our
guide motioned us to 9. sent. by the fire, and
then proceeded to drink :2. large quanti'y of
whisky. _
“My friend watche-lh lul closely : but. I talked
to his wife, who at, first gave me short answers,
glancing at her lord and muster to see if he lis-
Lencd, which he seemed not. to do: then she
talked more freely. The squaw was very ugly,
having the overburdened look that. you see
among Indian women; so, from half pity, as
she took the large hannch from the fire._ I rose
to assist her. At the same moment, her Jealous
husband raised a. large club, striking 'me on the
head a blow that made me full insensxble at his
feet. As he was about to repeat the blow, my
friend caught me in his arms. _ond. rushing
from the Wigwam, deposited me tn the canoe,
and was taking me rapidly down the stream
before our half-drunken pursuer reached the
shore. I soon recovered my senses, but I never
was polite to a squaw again."
