MARGARET AND THF, MINISTER
A Scotch Story, not foimied on, but all Pao*
spent a month in London, in 1833. During this
period, 1 was engaged every night, Sundays excepted,
to some club, society, conversazione, or diaper party.
Among the latter, from the peer to the peasant. Oa
one occasion I dined at Lord B—s; There were
twelve at the table and six servants, in splendid tint,
form, to wait upon them. I put on my best black, and
went into the carriage to this important affair. / had
got a few glimpses of high life previous to this, 1 0 that
I felt confidence in myself. The mistress of the feast
sat at the head of the table, and on her right sat a young
lady. a Miss C—, at the right of whom I was seat
ed, while the eldest daughter of the family, a fine
young lady of seventeen, sat on my right hand. So
that I sat between the tree. When I looked at the
lservants, with their powdered heads and clothes of'
'scarlet--at the vessels of gold and silver jars of China,
and platters of glass—at the lords and ladies, the sire
and counts—at the room, seats, sofas, ottomans and
foot stools of which far outshone what I bad read tif
Eastern luxury and splendor, and whose gas lamps and
,chandeliers sent forth a blase more brilliant thane win
ter's sun—l thought this wasrather going ahead of any
thing of the sor' I had yet seen, and was afraid I might
make some blunder; however, 1 wus resolved to main.
min my confidence, and make myself perfectly at home,
like my worthy countrymen, Sir Andrew Wylie, at a
ball given by the Datchess of Dashingwell, in the next
square to the one in which I was then partaking of
London hospitality. I soon found that bliss
wris a social, intelligent mortal, and felt myself:at hope
with her at once.
"Miss," said I, "I have Leen at some fine parties in
Edinburgh, Glassgow told Liverpool, but this is carly

minister; so, if I bluuder, you must help me aleing.° o

"I have heard my father," I replied, "relate the
story, some fifty years ago. It happened in the parish
where he lives."
She was much surprised to hear that he, my father,
then lived, in his ninety-first year.
"On a certaiinnerket day, I continued, "Margaret,

of the table, watching his motions, pinned the other

The minister deposited a quantity of mustard on the
edge of his plate, and Margaret, not observing this

mustard soon began to operate on the olfactory nerve.
She had never seen mustard before and did not ken

SIR ROBERT PEA
The London correspondent of the Albany Argus
gives, in a letter, dated August 3d, quits an interest•

oratory of Sir Robert Peel, the Prrmier of England.
He says Sir Robert is in stature about five feat eight,
with a high forehead, and a most intelligent count*.

Sir Robert had recently •pepped over to Paris, and was
in a coquetting mood, with an eye particularly direo
red to his mediation between France and Morocco.
The writer says, speaking of a debate in Perlin

Robert was very attentive, losing not a word; yet he
took no notes. He was very nervous, and constantly
referred to the documents which he held in his head-
