dote 01 Sir Robert Strange is related by the
late Richard Cooper, who instructed Queen
Charlotte in drawing, and was for sometime
drawing master to Eton school : "Robert
Strange was a countryman of mine, a North
Britoil, who served his time to my father
as an engraver, and wasa soldier in the rebel
army of 1745. hso happened, when Duke
dlimn put them to flight. that Strange,
finding a door open, made his way into the
house, ascended to the first floor, and en
tered a room where a young lady was sea
ted. She was at her needlework, and sing
ing. Young Strange implored her protec
tion. The lady, without rising, or being
the least disconcerted, desired him to get
under her hoop. He immediately stooped,
and the amible woman covered hint up.
Shortly after this, the house was saarched.
The lady' continued her work as before;
and the soldiers, upon entering the room,
' considering Miss Lumsdale alone, respect
fully retired. Robert, as soon as the search
was over, being released from his covering,
kissed the hand of his protectress; and
at that moment, for the first time, he found
himself in love. He married the lady ;
and no person, beset as they were with ear
ly difficulties, lived more happily. Strange
afterwards became a loyal matt, though for
a long time he sighed to be pardoned by his
King; who, however, was gracithisly pleas
ed to be reconciled to him, and afterwards
knighted him.
CURIOSITIES or ARITHMETIC.—An Eas
tern prince was so much delighted with the
game of chess which. had !mess shisised- for
his amusement. that . he &sired the inven
tor to name his own reward. The philos
opher, however, was too modest to seize
the apportunity of enriching himself: he
merely begged of his royal master a grain
of corn for each square on the chess table,
doubling the number in proceeding froth
the Orin to the sixty-fourth square. The
king, honoring his moderation, made no
scruple of consenting to the demand; but
on his treasurer making the necessary cal
culations, ho was somewhat surprised to
find that he had engaged to give away the
lit Os sib lerqtta fluty of 87,870425,546,792,
855 grains of corn, or near two hundred
millions of bushels.
The story of the horse•ehoe is of the
same kind, and, like the above, is usually'
met with in bolike of scientific recreation.
A man, selling , a fine horse, is, to re
ceiAe for it nothing more than the value of
the twenty-fourth nail of the animal's shoes,
supposing that the first nail is worth a far
thing, the second two, and so on doubling
each true.. The bargain is a tolerablypod
one, since the twenty-fourth .nail al; this
rate proves to be worth eighty thousand

BURN lING OF A RUSSIAg THEATRE

the burning of a Theatre at St. Peter:dial&
which occasioned a terrible destruction of
life. The fl re broke out behind the seesess_,

into the body of the theatre still swanting

one of the large folding doors at the eh

the confusion, been accidentally —Ol4O

open. Thus only one half of the roads
entrance was available for escape in this
critical moment, and the retreat of the au

police would not at first suffer prime indi;
%ideals to render assistance, that they might
keep the conduct of the business to them
selves. A tradesman neverthelessccmtrived
with a spade to break down a board on one
side of the theatre, and to drag sixty half

hell through the apperture, with imminent
peril of his own, life. The Emperor Ni
cholas rewarded the worthy span with as
order, and, as he was poor, with a pension
of 2,000 'rubles. Meanwhile the people
in the street, as may be supposed, became
aware that the matter was no joke. The
fearful tidings soon spread through thecity
that Lehreatt's theatre .was on fire, and
that thousands of persons in it were bluely
to perish. it is impossible to conceive
the consternation and despair that seized
all Petersburg. There was not a fassay
one or more of whose members might not
be among the wretched sufferers. When
the Emperor, on the first news of the arc.
hastened from the Winter Palace to the
spot, women ran up to him anil cried, "Sir,
save, save I.—my son is among them !---
my husband is there!—my brother is not
yet out !" "Children," replied the Empe
ror, .1 will save all I can." When the
fire was over—when the flames and life

FATALITY OF TUe STVART
line - of the Stuarts is among the most un
fortunate in the records of history.. Thew
destiny followed them during the long pe.
nod of four hundred years. Robert M.
king of Scotland, died of a broken heart. oc
casioned by his oldest son Robert having
been starved to death, and his youngest
eon, James the first, was taken prisoner
by the English, and remained in confine
ment eighteen years. On his return to
Scotland, after having beheaded three of
his nearest kindred, he was assassinated
by his own relatives as a punishment.—
James 11. was killed by a cannon shot at
the Roxburg siege. James M. suceeeded
his father, James 11. Ile put to death his
brother John, and would have destroyed
his brother Alexander, but he escaped and
levied war against him: James was de
feated in battle, and having fallen from a
horse, took refuge in a mill, where be was
discovered and put to death. James IV.
was slain in the fatal battle of Flodden
Field. James V. died of grief for the loss
of his army, at Solway Moss. He left
his dominions to his only daughter, Ma
ry Stuart, (better known as Mary Queen
of Snots,) who after suffering eighteen years
imprisonment. was beheaded at Fotherin
gay Castle, N orthamptonshire, on the Bth
of February, 1578. Henry Stuart. multi
