RUNNING NAKED.
Singular Proceedings of u Young Man on
the Eve of Ills Wedding.
DUtaHAM, April 17.—A most extra-
ordinary and exciting incident occurred
at Durham •,esterday afternoon. A
. iMM-'•'ris�•'�..""��A2.•.174SR":5., .ffi'AN,
young rnan w oived at West Stanley
came to Durham Wednesday morning
with a young woman, who
Kimbles worth for the purpose of being
married at the' registry office.' Owing
to some cause the wedding;, it was
-came to see t i e ouse w ' ere Burns
•was born.
"There's little to be got here," she
quickly and sharply replied, with a
leer in her watery eyes, " but least o
a' is to be got here by seein'. Yet the
r - ple warld comes here, just to see
q a 'thing. It does them nae gude, and
m nae gude; hut I sometimes recorn-
mend them, instead o' seen'—naething,
;to try tastin', a„d that does paith them
and me a hantle o' gude.” -
The laugh of her customers was
•." ready chorus" to the landlady's wit'
• Mrs. Begg was disgusted and silent
over the woman's loquacity, but -wish-
ing to conciliate this custodian of the
birth place, I called for some ale. She
arranged -and dusted some chairs, say-
.. ing that "sittin' is as cheap as standin'
and • from your seats here • ye can see
that recess: -bed in which Rab Burns -
was born."
. I asked her if she had lived long in
e neigh orhood— — _.-_.,._
'• Yes," was the reply, " I belong to
the district as my •nose belongs to my
face, and I used to ken a' the Burnses,
and their family history, as 1 kent my
• in sampler. - They were spoken about
•far and near as a readin' family, ilka. ,_j• 1 k d f
ane o' them grippin' a buik when they
sat, cloon to a,,inc,al,' and sautin' and
pepper in' every dish w i' lessons ; but
I never kent ony gude come frae sie
inainners, and'. their learnin' only
begg'd them, and they ,.. vaiged. as
• beggars frae farm to far`ii p.rin' that -
.the grand wad yield,, naething for a'
the kennoledge they stuffed inrils. I
• kent Rab weel, a prood, saucy, mock- .
' in', jeerin' chap, that'. wadnrl be con --
-tent exeep' lie got the last and the bit
terest word ; but when he was on his
high horse, I could mak' him' ride the
stang. He was like the East when he
:cairn' back free .Embro', after he•had
lickit the dishes at the grandees feast-
.in's. -•He was on horeseback, and. he
made a show o' his buckskins in gettin'
offend gettin' on. He was. aye. meikle
. suppler wi',•his tongue than wi' his
shanks, and in return to ane o' his ill
natured jibes, I -said, 'Rah, my man,
ye wad climb up to your grannie's cat,
if only- yc- had 'a Toupin' -on stane !'
- M.oi -y's the.time Rah tried to kiss me,
. but I made the dish=clout clash round
his haffets .!" •
This last recollection provoked Mrs.
Beg:; beyond endurance; and confront-
ing the landlady, she cried out—
" Pu ir.v ye.,_.. ye ill -fined linamer !
daur ye say that Robert Burns wad
'ever kiss .you ? Before that he was]
hae needed to do—what I 'wince heard
him speak o' beginnin' to do—to prat-
t.eese en the black ''keetle or o.n the
sooty pat ! My brither Robert had.
aye a.R.ude taste in his choice. o' sweet-
hearts."
, COu i no a e p ace t at . ay.
and it was put off. The young couple
went from the registry office, into the
Banks and sat down nn a seat. They
had not beeli there long when the girl
noticed something strange in the, de-
meanor of .her connpanion. He went
away from where they - were sitting,
and having divested himself of ali his
clothing was running about Prehend's
bridge completely naked. The' police
were sent for, and the young man,
who . was inclined to be violent, was
removed to the police station in the
ambulance cart. The young woman
followed to the station, ail(' said she
could not account for the behavior of
her sweetheart. The young man is
stated to have been of a religious turn
of mind for the last eight or nine
years. He was detained at the police
station.
The man was ,released and next day
on the road near Kimblessvorth he
stripped off the whole 'of his clothes
and proceec�l`edto the- pillage' in -a nucte
condition, much to the alarm of the in-
habitants, who ran away, in . terror at
the sight of the big, powerful young
fellow in that state. When he got to

again. By, this time there•was help
on hand, and the poor fellow taken to
a neighboring house and attended to,
a medical man being summoned at

broken glass had inflicted frightful la-
cerations all over his body, and at last

FORTY. DAYS.
• The rain that produced. the flood fell
40 days and 40 nights. After the rain
had ceased it was 40 days before Noah,
••opent'd the -ark, Moses,' was 40 days
,in:the mountain fasting. 40 days was
-the 'period devoted in ancient tines to
'the einbalining of the dead. The spies
spent 40 days ' investigating Canaan
• before they gave their report. Elijah
fasted 10 days in the wilderness after
he had fled from the anger of Jezebel,
the Queen. Jonah gave the inhabit
ants of Nineveh just 40 days in which
to consider his prophecy and, repent.
Jesus fasted 40 clays in tho desert. In
1 old English laws 40 days has played an
important"part. 40 days is the, time
. for quarantine. A widow was pep.
witted to occupy the house of her dead
husband 40 days after his death. A
stranger appearing in a parish wail
allowed 40 days before he must be
enrolled as residing in some 'particular
• ,prier. The nembera•of• the parliament
'were exempt from arrest 40 days after
the prorogation of pariiafoont and 40
dh is before it lint again. ' §o the
number 4t has played an important
.,part in the traditions, superstitions
and laws of different peoples. In the
middle ages 40 days was a period that
was looked upon by old doctors. with
auperstitlous regard, as a -tri' - when -a- '
