 Passing from the armory 10 sitting room you will observe ;he beautiful arch of the entry; that is a design from Roslyn Chapel; the carving of the oak ceiling in this room iS from designs taken from N.elrose Abbey; that from Dumterine from Cumbus- kenneth. The splendid China vase on the table was given Sir Walter by Lord Byron. We passed on through all the rooms on the ground floor in this way, which occupied us more than m hour. There were nnm Der of fine paintings and engravingS in many O1 the rooms, one in arliCular, the head of Queen Mary. after her execution, was wonderful piece of art. here were also portraits of Sir Walter. his wife and child. ren, and a fine sketch of Tom purde his favorite game-keerer.

 The library-room is very large and beau, tifnl. Itcohtains twenty thousand volumes. Through the windows we catch a glimpse of the Tweed, though il is nearly hid by the foliage of the trees It is only d few lod> distant. Here, also, is large table with a >lopj ng top, like writing desk. IL moves round on a swivel. On this table Sir Wal ter placed out his reference books on an other table near by, he 'pread out his maps and drawings which he wished 10 refer 10 when writing Passing out of tn? Library, you enter a smal! room used by him as q x,udy. In this room he wrote most of hss works. There is his table, his chair aLd his lamp Tine sides Of his room are lined with books. in eases. In this room is a staircase leading to his chamber, by sort Of blind door He was an early riser. and used to enter his study, make his fire, light his lamp. and write hours before any olh CTS of the family were up, and whilevisitor> believed him asleep. In small room, of from the study, in glass case, are the clu hes which he last had on wnile living They consist of whie hat, pretty wei! worn, a dark green hroadcloth coat, with bright metal buttons, a white vest, with narrow black stripe, a pair of pa looms, of the small black and white check, so much worn in America at the present day. Here, also, is his Swurf, his boots, shoes and spu's, and his Celtic purse, which Le wore once year on the anniversary of tie Celtic Soci- ely at Edinburgh.

 This was the last room we visited; hay ing paid the lady shilling apiece we came away l could not leave the spot without passing an hour or so amid the grounds and taking a walk by bonny Tweed side" The trees were all planted by Sir Walter, and II is surprising to see how rapidly they have grown. The walks, though not ex ienSive, are handsome and full ofintereS,. l saw no one abuu, until was coming away, when l met an old woman as she came from one of their inner courts. She gave me welcome to Ahho,siord, and as found she was fond Cf talking l sal down by her side and we converSed for som" time, about Sir Waite, and his family. 1 enqured of her, her name. she said "her name was M StIesS Purdie" What, enquired l, any relation to Tom Pnrdie, Sir Walters old forester " ellindeed," aid the auld wife, her voice faltering a little as she spoke, "Tom Pur- die was my gude man, and very gnde husband he was to me-" After bidding the old lady good by, passed out of the grounds by the way had en'ered, and walked back to the old town O. Melose where found my trunk and a good room at the hotel.

 This was certainly inc most pleasant day had passed in Scotland. No collection can match the one in AEbotStOrd for deep historical interest. Every thing is arran ged just as Sir Walter placed il with his own hand, and every thing is kept in the most perfect order. Indeed, ] thir k that of all the grea, works of Scott, with which he deiigh,ed and instructed the world, his great work. af CT all, greater than any thing he ever accomplished, was the erection ot Ah- botSfOrd and the gathering together from all countries under heaven such mass Of cu- riuuS ani interesting antiquarian relics, and fitting them up and arranging them with such consumma,e taste and masleily skill.
