MYSTERY OF GLAMIS CASTLE.

There are many theories els to th< actual mystery of Glamis Castle ; on« naturally suggests that the spirit o; "the witch," Lady Glamis, haunt! the spot, but that is hardly wort! attention. | Another suggestion is that in a so I cret dungeon # thcre exists a hideous and half-human monster over whorr time and death have no power. Another, the most horrible' of all is thafci "a monster; of : the Vampirt typhis ' b&rn every generation intc the'family, to represent the embodimerit jote a ..temMjp CWBcJ upon the [house ot Is6n." I This last reminds, one of a wonderful story by Erkmann-Chatrian. That this thing is very i'eal to the house of Strathniore is proved by « visitor to Glamis in 1877, who says that of a pleasant house-party there assembled "only Lord Strathniore himself had an ever-sad look. "The Bishop of Brechin, who was I a great friend of the house, felt this strange sadness so deeply that he \ > went? to? LordS 'frtratliinore and, after imploring him in the most touching manner to forgive the intrusion into his private affairs, said how, having heard of the strange secret which oppressed him, he could not hell) entreating hint to make use of his Isorvices as an .ecclesiastic, ii he could in any way, by any means, be of use to him.

" Lord Strathmore was deeply moved ; he said that he thanked him, but that in > Unfortunate* position no one could never help him."

Another guest, leaving early in the morning, "passed by the private chapel," and there he saw his host kneeling in prayer, and ; still wearing the evening clothes he had worn over-night. After such records as those it would appear almost indecent for outside curiosity to inquire further. The mystery,' after all, is no concern of ours. —From "T.P.'s Weekly."
