Arriving at Ms Highland seat, cne Saturday evening, tlie late Lord Strathcona looked forward to disposing of a number of pressing letters J'lrpoly dealing with his various charities, 60 as to catch Monday morning's mail. On the Sunday morning, when he mentioned this intention to the secretary, the latter said : "(li, but, Lord Strathcona, .1 am afraid I cannfct do what you nsk. I have never worked on the Sabbath." For a moment Lord Strathcona seemed disconcerted. Then he paid t:uiei!y: "Say no more about it. Go and take awalk -up the glen." The young man did not return -until near nightfall. Weary and footsore, ho ate a. hearty supper and retired to bed. Promptly at midnight, when ho was ■wrapped in the- soundest slumber, he was auatseil by a thunderous knock at his door. Ho sprang out of bed,' and encountered Lord Strathcona at the door, taper in hand, and a winning smile on his face. "Come, Mr. Blank, the Sabbath is now oyer, and wo mu6t mako haste with those letters, yon know, so as to catch the morning mail."
