But I was not proud, not at all. I had a cousin then, a singular, handsome young man, whose face lo me was always a delightful "luily. He was not ol such ungainly heighi as myself, but his hair was brown and curling, his cheeks tinged with red, hi* eyes flowing and sparkling, his manner commanding, and above nil, he was a a minister.

The circle of mv acqunintanco enlarged — the handsome minister no longer cut me in public, but walked boldly bv my side up the church aisle. I spent more time at my toilet than formerly.

Even with careful patients the artificial eye generally requires to be renewed, or al least re.enamclled, once a year. It becomes coated at the back by concrctions from the tears, and is then so irritating that its disuse becomes r.ecessary To this inconvenience, patients should always remove them at night, and have them carefully washed; they should also, it convenient, lay them aside for a few days whenever the eye becomes irritated, era greater tendency to deposit is observed than usual. Among the poor, this liability to soon become unbearable, is a serious objection to their use.— Some surgecins have, indeed, almost ceased to recommend them to their Hospital pa tientson this account, reserving their employment lor cases in which the sufferer appears more thijn usually intelligent, and likoly to succeed in the management.— Mr. Gray, (of Goswell street,) the maker of aitificial eyes :o the Ophthalmic Hospital, informed us, In answer to inquiries on this head, that he thought an artificial eye might, with ordinary care, be kept in n good state at a cost of about fifteen shiil. ings a year.

ISW-ly ROBERT B A U R, A circumstance of a most extraordinary character occurred a short time since in one of our flourishing towns of the middle counties. A clergyman died, and his wife and daughters, on the third day after his dece. se, recollecting that no likeness re. mnined. it was agreed, ere the grave closed o'er him, that the body should beenshrow. ded and a portrait taken. A young lady of some professional celebrity was engaged for the task. She with the" assistance ol tho attendant, took off the shroud, and placed the body in the requisite posture ; but other duties requiring the artist's attention, the sketch was deferred till noon. About 12 o'clock, at the foot of the bed the lady commenced and went through an hour's work on the image of death. At this stage of the proceedings, by some unaccountable motion, Ihe heed of the death like figure fell on the side. Nothing daunted, the artist carefully took the head to replace it, when lo F the eyes opened, and staring her full in the face, the dead inquired " who are you ?" The young professional, without trepidation, look the bandage from the head, and rubbed his neck. He immediately saw the shroud, and laughed immoderately. Tho artist quietly called the family ; their joy may be imagined, but cannot be described.  That evening he who had lain three days in his shroud, bemoaned by mother and sisters with agonizining tears, gladdened their hearts by taking his accustomed place at the tea table, and,nt this moment is making an excursion in North Whales. —Bedford (England) Times.
