		whose boyhood is familiar to all readers of Wordsworth. That place is, indeed, the refuge where the boy passed his shepherd life; and there is a local tradition that, though he never learned to read or write, during the twenty-four years that he spent in keeping sheep, his astronomical knowledge was considerable, and so interesting to him that he improved it by study after he came to his estates. ...

		We now arrived at the village of Threlkeld, a perpetual curacy under Greystock, now worth about L.25 per annum, and once in the possession of a clergyman, not inferior in point of oddity to any of those I have before described. This gentleman, by name Alexander Naughley, was a native of Scotland, but of what part I cannot learn. The cure in his time was very poor, only 8l. 16s.; but as he lived the life of a Diogenes, it was enough. His dress was mean, and even beggarly: he lived alone, without even a servant to do the meanest drudgery for him; his victuals he cooked himself, not very elegantly we may suppose; his bed was straw, with only two blankets. But with all these outward marks of a sloven, no man possessed a greater genius; his wit was ready, his satire keen and undaunted, and his learning extensive: add to this, that he was a facetious and agreeable companion, and though generally fond of the deepest retirement, would have unbended among company, and become the chief promoter of mirth. He had an excellent library, and at his death left behind him several manuscripts on various subjects, and of very great merit. These consisted of a treatise on algebra, conic sections, spherical trigonometry, and other mathematical pieces; he had written several poetical pieces, but most of these he destroyed before his death. His other productions would have shared the same fate, had they not been kept from him by a person to whom he had entrusted them: the state they were found in is scarcely less extraordinary; being wrote upon about sixty loose sheets, tied together with a shoe-maker's waxed thread.
		Mr Naughley never was married; but having once some thoughts of entering into that state, he was rejected by the fair one to whom he paid his addresses. Enraged at this disappointment, and to prevent the fair sex from having any farther influence over him, he castrated himself! giving for his reason, "if thy right eye offend thee, &c." in consequence of this operation he grew prodigiously fat, and his voice, (naturally good,) improved much, and continued during his life. He died April 30th 1756, at the age of 76, having served this curacy forty-seven years.
		Some anecdotes of him are so extraordinary, that I cannot forbear commiting them to the world. In one of his sermons, speaking about the seeking of honour, he com-
