evening star.TWO OF MOIK LEWIS'S STORIES
[From Rogers'* " Table-Talk."}In Monk Lewis's writings there is a deal of
bad taste ; but still be was a man of genius.I'll tell you two stories which he was veryfond of repeating, (and which Windham asedto iike ) The first is ;The Skeleton in the Church Pubch.
Some travelers were supping at an inn in Ger¬many, and sent for the landlord to give him a
glass of wine. In the course of conversationthe landlord remarked that a certain personwhom they happened to .'peak of was as ob¬stinate as the skeleton in the Church-porch" What is that?'' they inquired. The landlord said that he alluded to a skeleton whichit was impossible to keep under gr< u .d ; lh*the had twice or thrice assisted in laying it inthe cbarnel, but that always, the day fter ithad beon butted, it was found lying in thechurch-porch The travelers were greatlystruck by this account; and they expressedan eager desire to see the refractory skeleton.At last, a y-'ULg serving woman ooming intotho room, they asked her if $hc, for a reward,would go to tho church porch and bring theskeleton to them She at first refused to doso; but eventually the travelers offered a sumof money which she could not resist. Be itparticularly observed Hint the young womanwas then big with, child Well, off she set tothe church ; and having found the skeleton inits usual place, she bright it to tfre inn onher buck, and laid it upon the table beforethe travelers. They had no sooner looked atit than they wished it gone; and they pre¬vailed on the young woman, for another sumof money to carry it again to the church-porch. When she arrived there she set itdown ; and turning away, she was proceedingquickly along tho path which led from thechurch, and which was seen stretching nut be¬fore her in the clear moonlight, when she sud¬denly felt the skeleton lean upon her back.She tried to shake it off; out in vain. Shethen fell on her knees and said her prayersThe skeleton then relaxed its hold ; and sheagain rushed down the path, when, as before,the skeleton leapt upon her back. " I willnever quit you,*' it said, " nntil you descendinto the charnel, and obtain forgiveness I ftthe skeleton thut lies in the church-porch "
She paused a moment ; then summoning upher coumge, she replied 6he would do so Theskeleton dropped off. Down she went intothe charnel , and, after groping about forsorno time, she perceived the pale Ggurc »f s
lady, fitting by a lamp, and reading Sheadvanced towards the figure, and kneeling,said, .' I ask forgiveness for the skeleton thatlied in the church porch.' Tho lady read onwiihout looking at her. Again she repeatedher supplication, but still the lady read on,regardless of it The young woman then as¬cended front the charnel, and was runningdown the path when tho skeleton once morearrested her progress " I will never quityou," it f>aid, " till you obtain forgiven©*.- foribe skeleton that lies in the church porch :
go again into the charnel and ask it." Againthe young woman descended, aud, advancingto the lady sank upon her knees, and cried,44 I come a second time to ask forgiveness f. rtho skeleton that lies in the church porch.Oh. grant that forgiveness ' the skeleton im¬plores it, 1 implore it? the babe that I bearin my womb implores it!" The lady turnedher head towards tho speaker, gave a faintsmile, and disappeared On coming up fromthe charnel, the younr: woman found the skele*ton standing erect in tho porch. " I am bowhere," it said, ''not to trouble you, but tothank you ; you have at length procured merest in the grave. I was betrothed to the ladyyou saw in the charnel; and I basely desertedher for another. 1 stood at the altar, aboutto be married to my second love, when sud¬denly she rushed into the church, and stabbedherself with a dagger, said to me. as she wasexpiring, 41 you shall never rest in the grave.no, never, 'till the babe unborn shall ask for¬giveness for you " The skeleton rewardedthe good tffices of the young woman by dis¬covering to her the place where a heap oftreasure wae concealed.The second story is :Lukd Howth 9 Kat.- Tom Sheridan was
Shooting on the moors in Ireland, and lost hisdog A day or two after, it made its appear¬ance. following an Irish laborer. It w..s re¬stored to Sheridan, who remarked to the la¬borer that 44 the dog seemed very familiarwith him " The answer was, 14 Yes, it fol¬lows me, as the rat did Lord llowth." Aninquiry about the rat drew forth what is nowto be told. Lord ilowtb, having dissipatedhis property, retired in very low spirits to a
lonely chateau on the sea-coast. One stormynight a vessel was seen to go down ; and nextmorning a raft was seen lloating towards theshore As it approached, the bystanders weresurprised to find that it was guided by a lady,who presently stepped upon the beach. Shewas exquisitely beautiful; but they were un¬able touiscover who or what she was, for shespoke in an un unknown tongue Lord Howthwhs struck with pity for tbis fair stranger,and conducted her to bis chateau Thereshe remained fur a considerable time, whenhe became enamored of her, and at last a kedher to become his wife. She (having nowlearned the English language) thanked himfor the honor he had intended her ; but declared in the most positive manner that shecould never be his She then earnestly ad¬vised him to matry a certain lady of a neigh¬boring county, lie followed her advioe ; paidhis addresses to the lady, and was acceptedBefore the marriage, the beautiful strangertook a ribbon from her hair, and binding itrouud the wrist of Lord Howth, said, " Yourhappiness depends upon your never partingwith this ribbon " He as*ured her that itshould remain on his wrist She then disap¬peared, and was never seen again The marriage took place. The ribbon was a matterof much curiosity to the bride ; aud one night,when Lord Howth was asleep, she removed itfrom his wrift and carried it to the fire, thatshe might lead tkojcharacters inscribed uponil. Accidentally she let the flame reach itand it wai consumed Some time after. LordHowth was giving a grand banquet in hishall, when the company were suddenly dis¬turbed by the barking of dogs. This, theservants said, was occasioned by a rat whichthe dogs were pursuing Presently the rat,followed by the dogs, entered the hall. Itmounted on the table, and running up to LordHowth, stared at him earnestly with its bright,black eyes. He saved its life ; and from thatmoment it never qui:ted him! wherever hewas, alone or with his friends, there was therat. At last the society of the rat becamevery disagreeable to Lord Howth ; and hisbrother urged him to leave Ireland for a time,that he might get rid of it He did so, audproceeded to Marseilles, accompanied by hisbrother. They had just arrived at that place,and wore sitting in the room of an hotel,when the door opened, aud in oame the rat.It was dripping wet, and went straight to thefire to dry iUelf. Lord Howth's brother,greatly enraged at the intrusion, seised the
Eoker, and dashed out his brains. 44 Youave murdered me," cried Lord Howth, and
instantly expired.Thi Usb or Oil.In this country ohildren

Remedy for Flea Bites .Jehn Pha nixhas the following 14 never-failing" remediesfor flea-bites :" Boil a quart of tar until it becomes rightthin. Remove the clothing, and before the
tar becomes perfectly cool, with a broad flatbrush apply a thin smooth coating to the en¬tire surtaoc of d^e body and limbs. Whilethe tar remains soft, the flea becomes entangled in its tenacious folds, and ia rendered{icrfectly harmless; but it will soon feno alard, suiOvith coating, entirely impervious t ihis bite Should tne coating crack at theknee er elbow joints, it is merely necessarvto retouoh it alightly at thoae places. Thewhole coat should be renewed every threeor four weeks This remedy is sure, andhaving the advantage of simplicity and econ¬omy. ahould be generally known." A soil simpler method of preventing the
attacks of these little pests, is : On feelingthe bite of a flea, thrust the bitten part im¬mediately into boiling water. The heat ofthe water destroys the insect.and instantly re¬moves the pain of the bite.''
