A SERVANT of an old maiden lady, a patient of Dr. Poole, formerly of

Edinburgh, was under orders to go to the doctor every morning to report

the state of her health, how she had slept, &c., with strict injunctions

always to add, with her compliments. At length, one morning the girl

brought this extraordinary message: Miss S----'s compliments, and she

de'ed last night at aicht o'clock!
