Df.,fackenzilie tells us viih good hu-

mor, an anecdote in the New York tJn-jo- n,

which we have before heard verbal-

ly related. It( was all about ascertainLady Middleton, who, contrary to hermost anxious wish, was unblessed withany children. . After an absence of sev-

eral years with her liege lord in Eng-

land, the returned with, bim to reside fora time on one of their Irish estates.- -

As the carriage drove up. to the man-

sion, she not ice" d several fine lookingchildren about, and having learned thattheir mother was the wife of a great por-

ter, she determined to interrogate her,reJatiya to the cause of her fecundity; she

therefore, next day made her way down

to the porter's lodge, and commenced herinquiries r '': "'

"And how many children 'havs yaa?"; ' 4 ' ' ' V'"Seven, my Lad y." ''7

At list came the question7 of questfonsbow she came to' have the children ?

The poor woman, cot well knowing S7h'at

ing how to Wrap up in delicate ' words

her idea of cause and effect, blushed andorew confused, and at last, for want of

someihing tpsay replied : "I think itmust be the potatoes, m'y lady."

This" unfolded a theory of populationquite new to Lady Middleton, who ea-

gerly demanded . "'The potatoes ! Doyea eat much af thara V

"Oh, Yes, lady; very seldom we havetread, and so take potatoes all the yearround." " .'

Greatly agitated with her new- - infernation, the lady asked: "Aad whsre do
