© NEVER made a bet but once, and it brought me bad luck. It was madeHE-ji) on an election, and I won about £150. 1 was away from home at the^ time, and I invested the money in a handsome set of furniture for mywife. The furniture was packed and shipped, but an accident happened to

the boat, and it was tied up six weeks in port. When delivered, it was somuch damaged that after removing the handsome marble tops the furni-

ture was sent to a cabinet shop for repairs. Shortly afterwards the shoptook fire, and the furniture was burned.On my return home, after hearing of the loss of my furniture, I found

that one of the workmen had let something fall on one of the marble slabs

and broken it. He thought that he would finish the business, so he got asledge-hammer and smashed the whole lot of marble. His only son, a boythree years of age, stood by to see the fun, but stumbled and fell on a sharppiece of marble, receiving a dangerous wound on his temple. He has grownto manhood, but will carry to his grave an ugly scar.

STHAY HOTKS."J/ thou desire the time

should not passe too fast,"says a quaint old moralist," use not too much pastime :

thy life in jollity blazes likea taper in the wind; theblast of honour wastes, if theheat of pleasure melts it ; ifthou labour in a painfulcalling, thou shalt be lessesensible of the flux of time,and siveetlier satisfied at thetime of death."

1.—Thomas Naogeorgus,in "The Popish King-dome," a poem written in1553, after remarking ondays of the old year, urgesthis recollection :—

The next to this is Neweyea/res day whereon toevery frende,

They costly presents in dobring, and Newe ytaresgiftes do sende,

These giftes the husbandgives his wife, and fathereke the childe,

And maister on his men be-

stowes the like, withfavourmilde.

. An orange stuck with' cloves seems, by referenceto Mr. Fosbroke and ourearly authors, to have beena popular New Year's gift.Mr. Ellis suggests that theuse of this present may beascertained from a remarkby old Lupton, that theflavour of wine is im-proved, and the wine itselfpreserved from mouldi-ness, by an orange or lemonstuck with cloves beinghung within the vessel soas not to touch the liquor.

6.—The following linesare illustrative of Twelfth-night practices in theolden time :

—Noio Twelfth-day is coming,good housewife, Itrowe,

Get readie your churne, andyour milkfrom the cowe.

And fire your oven all readyto bake,

For Emma co7nes here witha bonnie Twelfth-cake.

The lads and the lasses atnight will be seen

Bound the wassaile-bowledraicing for king and forquccne

;

But could I possess theirthree kingdoms by lotte,

I would rather have Emmaand dwell in a cotte.

14.—It has long been cus-tomary in England to lookupon St. Hilary's Day, the14th of January, as thecoldest day in the year. Itis possible that this popu-lar belief dates as far backas the long and calamitousfrost of 1205. Eten tells usthat this frost lasted till

near the end of March, " sothat the ground could notbe tilled." In 1S20 the 14thof January w:is the coldestday of the year, and proba-bly of the century ; in more

than one locality the thermometerfell to four below zero. On a reviewof the hardest frosts chronicled inEngland, it is to be observed thatthey have generally occurred inJanuary, only occasionally diverg-ing a little into December on the onehand, and February on the other.

15.—The poetic gifts of Dr. Har-rington were much thought of inhis time, as maybe gathered fromthe following verses addressed tohim by a contemporary :—

~[Yhen people borrow, it should be theircare

To send things back again—it is butfair;To gratitude and manners this is

due.Therefore, good doctor, to the God of

SongReturn his lyre—you've really had it

long :

Othersmust be obliged as ivell as you.

17.—Dr. Franklin exhibited a strik-ing instance of the influence ofreading, writing, and conversation,in prolonging a sound and activestate of all the faculties of the mind.In his eighty-fourth year he dis-covered no one mark in any of themof the weakness of decay usuallyobserved in the minds of persons atthat advanced period of life.

31.—"Prince Charles," says Dr.King, " was a miser. I have knownhim, with two thousand louis-d'orin his strung box, pretend he was ingreat distress, and borrow moneyfrom a lady in Paris who was not inaffluent circumstances. His mostfaithful servants were ill-rewarded."

THE FINGER OF PROVIDENCE.

In man's most dark extremityOft succoicr dawns from Heaven.- -SCOTT.

S King William III. of England, the Stadtholderof the Netherlands, was besieging Nanmr in1695, sundry soldiers from his army, through

the want which reigned in the camp, went marauding,though such a transgression of the martial law hadbeen forbidden on pain of death. Most of thesemarauders were caught by the country people, andkilled ; only two of them reached the camp unscathed

;

but they were sentenced to death. They were bothbrave soldiers, and the general-in-chief wanted to saveone of them, and thus commuted the judgment in sofar, that they should have to throw at dice for theirlife, as was the custom in former times in such cases.

I

*TRUE LOVE.

*

*

True love 's the gift •which God has givenTo man alone beneath the heaven :

It is not fantasy s hot fire,Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly

;

It liveth not in fierce desire,

With dead desire it doth not die ;It is the secret sympathy,The silver link, the silken tie,

Which heart to heart, and mind to 7/iind,

In body and in sonl can bind. c^^-t,J bCOTT. *

On the morning appointed for the execution, both themarauders were led to a drum, in order thereupon tocast the decisive throw ; while, at a few paces further,the fatal pole already stood erect. Full of painfulexpectation, a group of officers, the regimental chap-lain, and the executioner, surrounded the poor fellows.With a trembling hand, one of the condemned took upthe dice ; he threw—two sixes ! In the next momenthe saw that his fellow had also thrown—two sixes !

The commanding officers were not a little stricken atthis strange occurrence : but their orders were precise,and so they commanded both the men to throw again.This was done ; the dice were cast, and in the throw ofboth there turned up—two fives ! The spectators nowloudly called out that both should be pardoned ; andthe officers, to ask for new directions, momentarily putoff the execution. They applied to the court-martial,which they found assembled ; and, after a long discus-sion, the disheartening reply was that the delinquentsshould decide their lot with new dice. Once more bothof them cast, and, lo —each threw two fours !

" This is the finger of God," said all present.The officers again submitted the strange case to the

court-martial. This time, even the members of thecourt shuddered : and they resolved to leave thedecision to the general-in-chief, who was momentarilyexpected.The Prince of Vaudemont came. He caused the two

Englishmen to appear before him : they related to himthe trying circumstances of their desertion. The Princelistened attentively, and relieved the poor culprits withthe welcome "Pardon," adding, "it is impossible insuch an uncommon case not to obey the voice of DivineProvidence."

©i)e raonterfttl Parrot.

r-jr;< HERE was of late advertised a parrot who could make original observa-0})$ turns—not mere slavish " copy," but the most apt remarks. A parrot*

fancier answered this advertisement, and the advertiser brought his

bird. He was not beautiful, and he did not look accomplished. He no sooneri pened his mouth, however, than his genius discovered itself.

" Supposing that this bird is all that you say of it," inquired the possiblepurchaser, " what do you want for it 1"' Fifty pounds," said the dealer."Make it guineas," exclaimed the parrot.The enraptured bird-fancier bought him at once.Weeks rolled on, and the bird never said another word. Not even that

solitary sentence, " Make it guineas."He sent for the dealer, and thus frankly addressed him—" Of course, I

have been taken in. This bird is dumb— can't even say ' What 's o'clock ?' or

' Pretty Poll."

"

" He only professes to make original observations," put in the dealer."Nonsense; he does nothing but scratch himself. You have got your

money : at least tell me how he contrived to say 'Make it guineas' at so ap-propriate a moment, I'll forgive you if you'll only tell me the truth.""Very good, sir; then he didn't say it at all. I'm a ventriloquist. My

pai rots all make original observations, but only 111 my press nee.

2.—Bishop Hall, in a ser-mon on Candlemas Day, re-marks, that "it hath beenan old (1 say not how true)note, that hath been wontto be set on this day, thatif it be clear and sunshiny,it portends a hard weatherto come ; if cloudy andlouring, a mild and gentleseason ensuing." Thisagrees with one of Ray'sproverbs :—The hind had as lief see hiswife on the bier,

As that Candlemas Dayshould be pleasant andclear.

So also Browne, in his"Vulgar Errors," affirms,that "there is a generaltradition in most parts ofEurope, that inferreth thecoldness of succeedingwinters from the shiningof the sun on CandlemasDay, according to the pro-verbial distich :

' Si Sol svlendescat Mariapuriflcante.

Major erit glades post fes-tum quamfuit ante.'"

12.—Lady Jane Grey suf-fered through the tower-ing ambition of her pa-rents, who contrived tohavener proclaimed queen,and attempted thereby toset aside Mary's accession.The Lady Jane met herdestiny on a scaffold on agreen within the Tower,with fortitude and com-posure only equalled bythe unsullied innocence ofher life. Her executionwas preceded by that ofher ill-fated husband, onTower-hill; and, as if toconsummate her wretched-ness, she saw his headlesscorse being conveyed tothe chapel, its final resting-place, as she was approach-ing the block. The deathsof these unfortunates wasshortly succeeded by theexecutions of the Duke ofNorfolk, Lady Jane's rashand imprudent father, andLord Thomas Grey, heruncle.

18.—It is mentioned in the "Shep-herd's Almanack "of 1676, chat " somesay, thunder on Shrove Tuesdayforetelleth wind, store of fruit, andplenty. Others affirm that so muchas the sun suirieth on that day, thelike will shine every day in Lent."

19.—This is the first day of Lent,on which, in the Romisu Church,the priests heard the confessions ofthose who had neglected to conformto the established rules of worship,or who had committed any par-ticular sin. The priest, after con-fession, clothed them in sackcloth,laid ashes on their heads, thensprinkled them with holy water,and repeated the seven penitentialpsalms over them, as they lay pros-trate on the earth. They thenwalked in procession barefooted,and were not admitted into theChurch again till Maunday Thurs-day, when they received absolution.The practice of strewing ashes on

the heads of sinners was derived bythe Christians from the Jews ; andthe example of Job's friends is aproof that this was peculiar to thechildren of Israel. Tertullian's Trea-tise of Penance, and St. Cyprian'sBook'of those toho Fell clearly showsackcloth and ashes were in themost early times of Christianitymade use of as marks of penance,according to the established canonsof the Church.

" Busy yourself" says Horace, " notin looking forward to tlie events of to-

morrow, but whatever may be tliose ofthe days Providence may yet assignyou, neglect not to turn them to ad-vantage."

CURING A DEAD MAN.

There is a pleasure sure in being mad.—Dryden.

VJcpHERE lived at Taunton a person of some propertyHJIk who had several times f."**> ) with credit. He was, unfortunately for him-

who had several times filled the office of mayor

self, a remarkably nervous and hypochondriacal subject.He would keep the house for weeks under the dread ofdanger in going abroad. Sometimes he fancied he wasa cat or a dog, and conducted himself much in the styleof one of these animals. But the most singular notionthat came into his head was to fancy himself dead andrefuse to be moved till his coffin came.Never having carried his " thick coming fancies" so

far before, his wife, seriously alarmed, sent for thedoctor, who, when he came, said, " Well, Mr. Jones,how do you do this morning?"

" Do," replied he in a low tone, " a pretty question toask a dead man."

" Dead ! what do you mean 1"

" Yes, I died last Wednesday ; the coffin will be herepresently, the mourners are invited, and I shall beburied to-morrow."The doctor, a man of sense and skill, immediately

thought of a scheme that promised success ; with aserious, steady countenance, he felt his pulse, andshaking his head, said, " I find it is indeed too true ;

you are certainly defunct, and the sooner you are buriedthe better."The coffin arrived, he was carefully placed in it and

carried towards the church. The surgeon, perfectlyacquainted with his character, knew where he wasvulnerable, and, acting accordingly, had given instruc-

tions to several neighbours how to proceed. Theprocession had scarcely moved a dozen yards, when aperson stopped to inquire who they were carrying to

the grave 1 " Mr. Jones,our late worthy overseer.""What! is the old rogue gone at last? A good

release, for a greater villain, to my certain knowledge,never lived."The imaginary deceased no sooner heard this attack

on his character, than he jumped up, and in a threaten-ing posture said, " You lying scoundrel, if I was notdead, I'd make you sutler for what you say ; but as it is,

I am forced to submit." He then quietly lay downagain, but ere they had proceeded half-way to thechurch, another party stopped the procession with thesame inquiry, and added invective and abuse. Thiswas more than our supposed corpse could bear : he waswrought up to a degree of frenzy, and jumping from thecoffin, wras in the act of following his detainers, whenthe whole party burst into an immoderate fit of

laughter, and so far abashed this valetudinarian, that,

ashamed of the public exposure, and awakened to aproper sense of his folly, he fought against the weakness,and in the end conquered it.

Pass it d9n.

TI7HE following short epistle was written from Paris by Benjamin Frank-O^S lin to an English gentleman, then there under pecuniary dillicultics,

who wished to return to his native country :—" I send you herewith a bill for ten Louis d'ors. I do not pretend to give

such a sum ; I only lend it to you. When you shall return to your country,you cannot fail of getting into some business that will in time enable youto pay all your debts. In that case, when you meet with another honestman in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him, in-joining him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he shall be able,and shall meet with such another opportunity; I hope it may thus gothrough many hands before it meets with a knave to stop its progress. Thisis a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money. I am notrich enough to afford much in good works, and so am obliged to be cunning,and make the most of a little."

STHAY BfOTJKS,

Wliat hoots it to repeatHow time is slipping under-neath our feet?

Un-onrn To-morrow, anddead Yesterday,

Why fret about them if To-day be sweet?

1.—Mr. Brady, in the"Clavis Calendaria," af-firms that the custom ofwearing the leek on St.David's Day is derived fromSt. David; who, accordingto him, caused the Britonsunder King Cadwalladerto distinguish themselvesfrom their enemies duringa great battle, whereinthey conquered the Saxonsby virtue of his prayersand that regulation.

2.—Win. Murray, Earl ofMansfield, died in 1793. Bewas born on the 2nd trf

March, 1705, and duringthirty years, ami until hisdeath, presided as LordChief Justice of the Courtof King's Bench. Be waseminent as a lawyer, anddignified as a judge. It is

said that he altered thecommon law of Englandby ingrafting upon it thecivil law iu his decisions.As an elegant scholar, ofhighly cultivated a,nd vig-orous intellect, he shonein the constellation ofgreat men which arose inthe reign of Queen Anne.In eloquence and beauty ofdiction, he outrival led hispredecessors, and has notbeen excelled by any suc-cessor in the high office hefilled.

Lord Sandwich said ofMansfield, that " his talentswore more for commonuse, and more at his fingers'ends, than those of anyother person he hadknown."17.—Brand, in his "Ob-

servations upon PopularAntiquities," states that"the shamrock is said tobe worn by the Irish uponthe anniversary of thissaint, for the followingreason—When the saintpreached the gospel to thepagan Irish, he illustratedthe doctrine of the Trinityby showing them a trefoil,or three-leaved grass withone stalk, which operatingto their conviction, theshamrock, which is a bun-dle of this grass, was everafterwards worn upon thissaint's anniversary, to com-memorate the event.

21.—Lord Chesterfield is

described by Lord Berveyas " very short, dispropor-tioned, thick, and clumsilymade; having a broad,rough-featured, ugly face,with black teeth, and ahead big enough for aPolyphemus."

Wickedness is its own punishment.

27.—The state in which the ill-

fated Charles I. found the countryon his accession, is pithily describedby Howell, in his "Familiar Let-ters." "In the evening he was pro-claimed at the Whitehall Gate,Cheapside, and other places, in asad shower of rain ; and the weatherwas suitable to tin 1 condition where-in he finds the kingdom, which is

cloudy ; for he is left engaged in awar with a potent Prince, the peo-ple by long desuetude unapt forarms, the fleet-royal in quarter re-

pair, himself without a Queen, hissister without a country, the crownpitifully laden with debts, and thepurse of the State lightly ballasted,though it never had better opportu-nity to be rich than it had these last

twenty years."

30.—"The name Palm Sunday,"says Forster, " comes from the cus-tom of bearing palm boughs in pro-cession,in imitation of those strewedbefore our Saviour. In northernlatitudes, box, olive, and the blos-soming willow, are used as substi-tutes for real palm, which tree doesnot here, as in Judea, grow by thewaysides."Barnaby Googe, in allusion to the

ceremonies of this day, says :

Besides they candles up do light, ofvertue like in nil,

And willow branches hallow, that theyPalmes do use to call.

This done, they verily beleeve thetempest nor the storme

Can neither hurt themselves, nor yettheir cattell, nor their come.

Now- the hedge-sparrow sings, asdoes also the sky-lark in the morn-ing. And now may be heard shefield-lark enlivening the stubblefields.

The sun shines bright, the bees are out,Humming the early flowers about

:

Of crocus, yellow, striped, and blue.

Of hellebores of paler hue—And noble liverworts, that blowingIn crimson, white, and blue, are glow-ing.

1|f?e Qavben.Sow main crops of beans, peas, cab-bage.onions,leeks, carrots, parsnips,Brussels sprouts, borecoles, let-

tuces, and spinach. Sow turnips andsavoys in the beginning and end ofthe month. In. the last fortnightsow asparagus, cauliflower, sea-kale,celery, &c. Small salads should nowbe sown every ten days. Plant earlypotatoes in the first week, and amain crop during the last fortnight.Jerusalem artichokes, sea-kale, as-paragus, and peas, raised in frames,maynow be planted. Propagate, byslips, the various pot-herbs, as mint,sage, savory, tansy, &c. Finish thepruning of fruit-trees before themiddle of the month. Begin graft-ing it the third week. In the lastweek sow hardy annuals in the bor-ders with biennials that flower thefirst season. Thin out and plantsome of the autumn-sown annuals.This most important month forgetting in main crops of severalkinds is proverbial for boisterousweather, but take advantage of fineintervals.

THE WAYS OF A MISER.

Put money in thy purse.—Shakspeare.

f^HE eccentric French miser Dubois combined a love: of ostentatious display with intense covetousness.

"€> Mr Cyrus Redding, in his very interesting ac-count of misers, tells us that among Dubois's property,by inheritance, was much rich plate, and articles offurniture in excellent taste. His costly sideboard of

silver was every day placed in order, as if some splen-did entertainment were intended to be given ; and hewas flattered when any one, calling at his house, andbeing designedly led through his salle-a-manger aboutthe usual dinner-hour, applauded the splendour therelaid out. The silver dishes were borne on and off thetable, while he was at dinner, as if the covers concealedthe best meals, and being carried through a waiting-

I I

VIRTUE.

What one art thou, thus in torn weedy-clad ?

Virtue, in price whom ancient sages had.Why poorly 'rayed ? ForJadinggoods past care.

Why doublefaced ? I mark eachfortune'sfare.This bridle, what ? Mind's rages to restrain.

Tools why bearyou ? I love to take great pain.Why wings ? I teach above the stars tofly.Why treadyou death ? I only cannot die.

Nicholas Grimvald. .

room for strangers, on their way back to the pantry_ orkitchen, gave an idea of that kind of greatness of whichtheir owner was desirous of producing the impression.In the midst of all this empty show and secret mean-

ness, Dubois dined on a few cheap vegetables and a bit

of pork or mutton, brought on dishes and covers thatmocked the eye of the stranger. For a dinner or supperall was laid out with the same array of plate. Silverdishes contained a single egg or a few olives, accom-panied with a glass of poor weak wine. These composedhis meal, the miserable fragments of which he wouldhave saved or duly accounted for, and preservedtowards the next day's potage.Six noble silver candlesticks were brought into the

saloon every evening, and the lights were displayedduring the presence of a visitor, but extinguished atthe moment of his departure. Then the great manrepaired to his bed-room, which was lit with a miserablelittle taper that only served to throw a dingy light uponthe surrounding gloom.When going out, his servants, ill-fed ordinarily and

plainly dressed, attended their master to the seat ofjustice, or to the court, in fine liveries. These weretaken off on returning home, in order to preserve theirsplendid appearance and prevent them from beingsoiled.Dubois, fearing his nearest relation would squander

his wealth if he bequeathed it to him, preferred leavingit to a thrifty cousin, who won the niggard's heart bywriting to him on a quarter of a sheet of paper. "Iwill make him my heir," said he, " for he knows howto prevent waste. What would be th e use of a wholesheet of paper, when he can say all upon this slip?

This is no disrespect to me ; he is a good economist, andhe shall be my heir."

These words being overheard by a waiter, he lodged aninformation of treason against them. But on their explanation, that theexpression meant only the murder of a stnge monarch, and their loyaltybeing unquestioned, the affair ended in a jest.A similar tale is told of a French dramatist, Nicolas de Pechantre. The

composition of his tragedy, La Mort du Neron, occupied him during nineyears. He one day left In a small inn, where he had been drinking, a piece ofpaper, on which several cyphers were scrawled, and the words, " Here letthe king lie slain !

" It is found by the innkeeper ; he carri> s it to the com-missary, who desires to be informed when the person who dropped it againappears. Pechantre re-visits the auberge ; the landlord hies to the commis-sary, and the poor playwright is taken prisoner. He produces the paperwhich he supposed to contain the plot of the conspiracy."Ah, Monsieur." cries Pechantre, " I am delighted to recover that paper;

it is the scene where I kill Nero in a tragedy which 1 am composing."

STJKAY HOTKS,

Fortune, men say, doth givetoo much to many :

But yet she never gaveenough to any.

1.—On the 1st of April,1810, Napoleon marriedMaria Louisa, Archduchessof Austria, on which occa-sion some of the waggishParisians called him " unpoissun d'Avril," a termwhich answers to onr Aprilfool. On the occasion ot hisnuptials Napoleon strucka medal, with Love hear-ing a thunderbolt for itsdevice.

3.—As Abernethy, thefamous surgeon, was oneday walking up Holborn,he overtook one of his pu-pils, and, as was his customwhen he had once noticedintrinsic talent, he enteredinto familiar conversationwiih him, observing thathe had missed him forsome time from the dis-secting-room. The youngman, with tears in his eyes,told him he was involvedin debt, and that his pa-rents, overtaken, like him-self, by the shafts of adver-sity, could not grant himthe necessary supplies."To what amount are youin debt?" "About £80,sir," answered the poorbankrupt. "Well," saidMr. A., "call at BedfordRow to-morrow morning ntten o'clock, and I will seewhat can be done for you."The young man was obedi-ent to the wishes of hiskind instructor, when aletter sealed up was putinto his hand, on openingwhich he discovered acheque for £90 1

You cannot do belter thaneat them yourselves.

In old times, Good Fridaywas distinguished in Lon-don by a sermon preachedat Paul's Cross la woodenpulpit placed on stonesteps, and surmounted bya cross, whicli stood till

the time of the civil war,in the open air, near thenorth-east corner of St.Paul's Cathedral). The ser-mon was generally on thesubject of Christ's passion.

flush of conviviality. At the latterperiod of his life, when his healthbegan to break, he would sit downwith an evident determination tobe abstinent, partake sparingly ofthe simplest soup, take no saucewith his fish, and mix water in hiswine ; but as the repartee began tosparkle, and the anecdote to circu-late, his assumed caution was in-sensibly relaxed, he gradually gaveway to temptation, and commonlyended by eating of everything, andtaking wine with everybody—thevery beau-ideal of an amphitryon.

12—On the 12th of April, 17<>0, thedeath took place in London of JohnSeddon.an eminent writing-master,who, in fancy, invention, and theornamental parts of penmanship,greatly excelled all his contempo-raries, more especially in the varietyof his flourished figures, for whichhe had a peculiar genius, hence thefollowing lines were made for hisepitaph :

A ROMANCE OF THE NORTH.

In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice.—Shakspeare.

fHERE are few Arctic navigators better knownthan Willem Barents, and not many narratives

~*u of adventure in the frozen regions more familiarto seamen of every country than the annals of theexpedition of the Dutch mariner to Novai Zemlai in1596-1597. Every one has read the tale how he sailedfrom Texel, how he got frozen into the Ice Haven inNovai Zemlai in the autumn of 1596, and was compelledin great cold, poverty, misery, and griefe to stay all

the winter."Their adventures formed a stock romance of the

North, and, strange to say, in 1871 were destined to againcome before the world with a pendant to their tale. Inthat year Captain Elling Carlsen,the skipper of a Norse

walrus sloop, was cruising about Novai Zemlai, and,the season being an open one, unexpectedly foundhimself in the Ice Haven. Drawing in shore, hediscovered an old house standing at the head of thebay. It was strongly built of materials that hadevidently belonged to a ship, and around it were stand-ing several large puncheons, and heaps of reindeer,seal, bear, and walrus bones. Inside were bed-places,seamen's chests, a clock on the wall, halberds andmuskets, and a host of other articles of ancient con-struction, and unknown use to the navigator.Though Carlsen suspected that this was a very old

encampment, yet it was not until his return to Norwaythat it was seen that he had found the identical housein which, nearly three centuries ago, Barents and hiscompanions had wintered. The Arctic cold had pre-served its timbers and contents from decay, and it wasevident that from the day Barents had deserted itin 1597 no human being had ever visited the spot.On comparing the drawing in the interior of the

house in De Veer's narrative, it was seen that every-thing had remained exactly as it was during the winterof 1596-97. The clock was on the wall, the halberdswere where the seamen had placed them, the ashes ofthe fire were still in the middle of the floor; the"bunks " were as they had been last slept in, a flutestill gave out a few notes, and doubtless was the sameinstrument on which the kindly captain played to hismen ; a few books of the period lay in the chests, andamong other interesting relics a quaintly curious copperdial, to work on an astrolabe. But perhaps the mostaffecting of all these strangely preserved relics werethe little shoes of the ship's boy, who died during thewinter.The collection was purchased by Mr. Lister Kay, an

Englishman, and by him made over to its rightfulcustodians—the Dutch Government.

& Statesman's Mife.

KWN his thirty-fifth year Disraeli married the widow of his colleague,*) Wyndham Lewis, member for Maidstone. Mrs. Lewis was more than

ten years his senior and had a large fortune. This apparently singularunion was well known to be an unusually happy one. They appear to haveadored each other. Mrs. Disraeli's devotion and strength of mind have beenillustrated by a well-known anecdote. One day, when setting off to drive tothe House of Commons, two of her fingers were crushed by the door of thecarriage, but in spite of intense pain, she concealed it from her husband ashe sat by her side, in order that he might not be disturbed in an importantspeech which he had to make. She kept up, so it is said, till the momentwhen he alighted, and then fell fainting on the cushions. When, in the year1S68, Disraeli declined a peerage for himself, he prayed the Queen to make hiswife Viscountess Beaconstield, and she bore the title until her death, in 1872.

1.—Time out of mind,May Day has been in thiscountry a festive holiday,and its customs havereached other countries

;

for in France we find, asearly as the middle of thefifteenth century, the fol-lowing ceremony was per-formed : "la 1449, somenotable personages, mastergoldsmiths of Paris,agreed,as an act of devotion, topresent annually on thefirst of May, at midnight,a May before the principaldoor of the church of NotreDame. They elected aprince for one year only,who was to settle the ex-penses of the said May.

" The May was placed ona pillar in the form of atabernacle, in the severalfaces of which were smallniches occupied by differ-ent figures of silk, gold,and silver, representingcertain histories, and be-low them were explana-tory inscriptions in Frenchverse. The May remainedat the great door from mid-night till after vespers thenext day, when it wastransported, together withthe pillar, before the imageof the Virgin, near thechoir, and the old May ofthe preceding year was re-moved into the chapel ofSt. Anne, to be kept therealso a yeai\ This ceremonywas regularly observed till

Th&re is nothing better than silence.

a stride. With a person swinginglike a pendulum, and an abstractedair, he seemed always in thought,and each thought provoked an at-tendant gesticulation. How strangeit is, that a mind so replete withgrace, and symmetry, and power,and splendour, should have beenallotted such a dwelling for its re-sidence! Yet so it was; and so,also, was it one of his highest attri-butes that his genius, by its 'ex-cessive light.,' blinded his hearersto his physical imperfections. Itwas the victory- of mind over mat-ter." "The chief difficulty in thisgreat speaker's way was the firstfive minutes. During his exordiumlaughter was imminent. He benthis body almost to the ground,swung his arms over his head, up,and down, and around him, andadded to the grotesqueness of hismanner ahesitatins tone and drawl-ing emphasis. Still, there -was anearnestness about him that at firstbesought, and, as he warmed, en-forced, nay, commanded attention."

29.—This day is known as Restora-tion Day, from being the anniversaryof the day whereon King CharlesII. made his magnificent entry intoLondon.Bide of Health for May : The month

of May is called a "trying" month,to persons long ailing with criticalcomplaints. It is common to say,"Ah, he'll never get up May-hill!"or, " If he can climb over May-hillhe'll do." "As a rule of health forMay," says Dr. Forster, "we mayadvise early rising in particular, asbeing essentially conducive to thatblessing. Everything now invitesthe slusgard to leave his bed and goabroad."

The season now hath cast awayIts garb of cold and wind and rain,

And dons its bright and fair arrayOf smiling sunshine once again.

A STRANGE STORY.

'Tis strange but true; for truth is always strange.—Byron.

tHERE were some extraordinary incidents con-nected with the death of the second Lord

~*cJ Lyttleton. His lordship, on Thursday, Novem-ber 5th, 1779, bad spoken in the Upper House. In theevening he set out for his house at Epsom.He sat up rather late after his arrival, and on retiring

to bed was suddenly awakened from brief slumber, alittle before midnight, by what appeared to be a dove,which, after fluttering for an instant near the bed-curtains, glided towards a casement window in theapartment, where it seemed to flutter for an instantlonger, and then vanished. At the same moment hiseye fell upon a female figure in white, standing at thebed foot, in which he at once recognised, says Warner,'"the spectre of the unfortunate lady that had hauntedhim so long." It solemnly warned him to prepare fordeath within three days.

-I*

IN HIGH STATION.

*

When men ofinfamy to grandeur soarTJiey light a torch to show their shame the more.

I

In the morning his lordship seemed greatly dis-composed, and complained of a violent headache. " Hehad had an extraordinary dream," he said, " suited,did he possess even a particle of superstition, to make adeep impression on his mind," and in afterwards com-municating the particulars of the vision, he remarked,rather, however, in joke than earnest, that the warningwas somewhat of the shortest, and that really, after acourse of life so disorderly as his, three days formedbut a brief period for preparation.On Saturday he began to recover his spirits, and told

a lady of his acquaintance at Epsom that as it was nowthe third and last day, he would, if he escaped but afew hours longer, fairly "jockey the ghost." Hebecame greatly depressed, however, as the eveningwore on : and one of his companions, as the criticalhour of midnight approached, set forward the houseclock, in the hope of dissipating his fears, by misleadinghim into the belief that he had entered on the fourthday, and was of course safe. The hour of twelveaccordingly struck ; the company, who had sat withhim till now, broke up immediately after, laughing atthe prediction ; and his lordship retired to his bed-room, apparently much relieved.His valet, who had mixed up at his desire a dose of

rhubarb, followed him a few minutes after, and he satup in bed," in apparent health, to take the medicine

;

but being in want of a tea-spoon, he despatched theservant, with an expression of impatience, to bringhim one. The man was scarce a minute absent. Whenhe returned, however, his master was a corpse. Hehad fallen backwards on the pillow, and his outstretchedhand still grasped his watch, which exactly indicatedthe fatal hour of twelve. It has been conjectured thathis dissolution may have been an effect of the shock hehad received on ascertaining that the dreadful hourhad not yet gone by : at all events, explain the fact aswe may, ere the fourth day had arrived, Lyttletonwas dead.

LADY overheard her nurse-girl talking to the little child she was<£)'£ putting to sleep, and saying—^^~ "If you don't go right to sleep this minute, a big, awful blackbear, with eyes like coals of lire, and sharp, white, cruel teeth, will comeout from under the bed and e-a-t y-0-11 a-1-1 u-p !

"

The poor little thing huddled up under the clothes in terror.That night, when the nurse had composed herself in her own bed, and put

the light out, there came a sudden rap at the door

" Maggie ! Maggie ! " cried her mistress, " for mercy's sake get up as quickas you can ! There's a fearful burglar under your bed, and as soon as youget to sleep he's coming out to rob and murder you !

"

At the word burglar the girl sprang screaming from the bed and rushedinto the hall. When the girl's fears were calmed, her mistress said to her—

" You did not hesitate to tell my little delicate child, who could not possi-bly know that it was a lie, a cruel story of a bear under her bed ; now, when1 treat you to the same kind of story you are frightened to death."

1.—"The general charac-ter of June," says Howitt,"in the happiest seasons,is fine, clear, and glowing,without reaching the in-tense heats of July. Itscommencement is the onlyperiod of the year in whichwe could possibly forgetthat we are in a world ofperpetual change and de-cay. The earth is coveredwith flowers, and the airis saturated with theirodours. It is true thatmany have vanished fromour path, but they haveslid away so quietly, andtheir places have been oc-cupied by so many fragrantand beautiful successors,that we have scarcely beensensible of their depar-ture. Everything is full oflife, greenness. and vigour.Families of young birdsare abroad, and give theirparents a busy life of it,

till they can pick for them-selves. Rooks have desert-ed the rookery, and arefeeding their vociferousyoung in every pasture,and under every green tree.The swallow and swift arecareering in the clear skies,andTen thousand insects in theair abound,

Flitting on glancing icings,

that yield a summersound."

5.—In the Middle Agesanimals formed as promi-nent a part in the worshipof the time as they haddone in the old religion ofEgypt. The cat was a veryimportant personage in re-ligious festivals. At Aix,in Provence, on the festi-val of Corpus Christi, trie

finest Tom cat of the coun-try, wrapt in swaddlingclothes like a child, wasexhibited in a magnificentshrine to public admira-tion. Every knee was bent,every hand strewed flowersor poured incense, andGrimalkin was treated inall respects as the god ofthe day. But on the festi-val of St. John, poor Tom'sfate was reversed. A num-ber of the tabby tribe wereput into a wicker-basketand thrown alive into themidst of an immense fire,

kindled in the public squareby the bishop and hisClergy. Hymns and an-thems were sung, and pro-cessions were made by thepriests and people in ho-nour of the sacrifice.

There is no power greater than true affection.

Gordon riots, the dwelling of LordMansfield, in .Bloomsbury Square,was forcibly entered by the enragedmob, and all his furniture, exten-sive library, and other property of

great value, were consigned to theflames, his lordship and family es-

caping with difficulty through aback door. A party of guards ar-

rived during the act of demolition,and fired upon the mob, when severalwere killed and wounded.

14.—On the afternoon of the 14thof June, 1727, two horsemen mighthave been perceived galloping alongthe road from Chelsea to Richmond.The foremost, cased in jackboots ofthe period, was a broad-faced, jolly-

looking, and very corpulent cava-lier, but, by the manner in which heurged his horse, you might see thathe was a bold as well as skilfulrider. He speedily reached Rich-mond Lodge, and asked to see theowner of the mansion. The mistressof the house and her ladies said hecould not be introduced to themaster however pressing the busi-ness mitrht be. The master wasasleep after his dinner; he alwaysslept after his dinner, and woe be tothe person who disturbed him!Nevertheless, our stout friend ofthe jackboots put the affrightedladies aside, opened the forbiddendoor of the bed-room, wherein uponthe bed lay a little gentleman ; andhere theeasrer messenger knelt downin his jackboots. He on the bedstarted huddled up, and with manyonths and a strong German accentasked who was there, and who daredto disturb him? "lam Sir RobertWalpole," said the messenger. Theawakened sleeper hated Sir Robert"Walpole. " I have the honour toannounce to your Majesty that yourroyal father, King George the First,died at Osnaburg on Saturday last,

the 10th instant. "Bat is one biglie ! " roared out his sacred MajestyKing George the Second, but SirRobert "Walpole stated the fact.

1t£e Qavben.Sow peas and beans for late crops.The kinds used for early crops arelikewise best for this purpose. Sowsalading every ten days ; also carrotsand onions for drawing young. Inthe beginning of the month sowendive for an early crop. In thefirst week sow turnips for succes-sion, and in the third week for a fullautumn crop. Pull and store winteronions if ripe. Train and prune thesummer shoots of all descriptionsof wall and trellis trees. Net overcherry trees to protect the fruitfrom birds. Destroy insects by re-peated washings and directing to-bacco smoke against them, or bystrewing snuff (or the line powderof tobacco) upon them. Take up allbulbs and dry them in the shadebefore removing them. Remove allkinds of decaying crops. Sow pe-rennials, if neglected last month,to be planted out in the spring.Watering out of doors is more orless necessary during this monthfor newly -planted vegetables andflowers, and from drought. Afterwatering, loosen the ground roundplants with the hoe.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

These are the times that try men's soicls.—Paine.

MONGST the many exciting adventures whichbetel the late Laurence Oliphant, one of themost thrilling is the following, which he ex-

perienced during his visit to Ceylon. We give it in hisown words :

" On our way to Adam's Peak in Ceylon," he says,"we passed the night at a native house in one of thehigher villages, and leaving our horses there, on thefollowing morning pursued our way on foot amidscenery which at every step became more grand andrugged, the path in places skirting the edge of dizzyprecipices, at the base of which foamed brawling

Or recollected only to gild derAnd add a smile to what was siveet before,

torrents. The way was often rendered dangerous bythe roots of large trees, which, having become slipperyby the morning mist, stretched across the narrow path,and one of these nearly cost me my life. The path atthe spot was scarped on the precipitous hillside : atleast three hundred feet below roared a torrent ofboiling water—when my foot slipped on a root, and Ipitched over the sheer cliff.

"I heard the cry of my companion as I disappeared,and had quite time to realise that all was over, when I

was brought up suddenly by the spreading branches of

a bush which was growing upon a projecting rock.There was no standing-ground anywhere, except therock the bush grew upon. For some time I dared notmove, fearing that something might give wray, as thebush seemed scarcely able to bear my weight.

" Looking up, I saw my companion and the nativeswrho were with us peering over the edge above, and, totheir intense relief, shouted that so far I was all right,

but dared not move for fear the bush would give way.They, however, strongly urged my scrambling on tothe rock, and this, with a heart thumping so loudlythat I seemed to hear its palpitations, and a dizzy brain,I succeeded in doing.

" The natives, of whom there were five or six, thenundid their long waistcloths, and tying them to eachother, and to a piece of cord, consisting of the unitedcontributions of all the string of the parties and thepackages they were carrying, made a rope just longenough to reach me. Fastening this under my arm-pits, and holding on to it with the energy of despair, orperhaps, I should rather say of hope, I was safelyhauled to the top ; but my nerve was so shaken that,although not in the least hurt, it was some momentsbefore I could go on."

(JTIje Portrait of ait Ancestor.

"j|j?HE famous Quarterly reviewer, Mr. Abraham Hayward, once thoughtwjjp that he should like to have some ancestors. So he walked to Wardour

Street, wliere one can generally pick up an ancestor or two of theCromwellian, Queen Anne, or early Georgian period. Selecting a portrait ofa cavalier in half-armour, with features not quite unlike his own, Mr. Hny-ward made a bid for it ; but, deeming the price asked too high, he went hisway. A fortnight after, the ancestral fever coming strongly npon him, hewent again to Wardour Street, prepared to pay the dealer his price. Thepicture was sold.A few days later Mr. Hayward went to dine with Lord Houghton, and was

astonished to find the picture in the dining-room. Seeing that it attractedhis guest's attention. Lord Houghton said—

" Very good picture that I Come into my hands in a curious way. Portraitof a Milnes of the Commonwealth period—an ancestor of mine."

" Indeed !

" said Mr. Hayward. " He was near being an ancestor of mine."

STRAY HOT3KS,July, the month of summer'sprime,

Again resumes his busytime,

Scythes tinkle in each grassydell,

Where solitude was icont todwell

;

And meadows, they are madwith noise

Of laughing maids andshouting boys,

Making up the witheringhay

With merry hearts as lightas play. Claue.Speaking of this month,

C Lamb says: "At lastsummer is come among us,and her whole world ofwealth is spread out beforeus in prodigal array. Thewoods and groves havedarkened and thickenedinto one impervious massof sober uniform green, andhaving for a while ceasedto exercise themore activefunctions of the spring,are resting from their la-bours in that state of ' wisepassiveness,' which we, invirtue of our so infinitelygreater wisdom, know 60little how to enjoy."

1.—Admiral Duncan's ad-dress to the officers of hisfleet, when they came onboard his ship for his finalinstructions, previous tothe memorable engage-ment with Admiral de Win-ter, was couched in the fol-lowing laconic and humor-ous manner: "Gentlemenof my fleet, you see a verysevere Winter fast ap-proaching, and I have onlyto advise you to keep agood fire."

9.—Burke's colleague forBristol was not remarkableas an orator. It isreportedthat after Burke had de-livered one of his bestspeeches at Bristol, Crugerrose up and exclaimed, " Isay ditto to Mr. Burke—

I

say ditto to Mr. Burke."Burke, however, was not

always appreciated. Onone occasion he had justrisen in the House of Com-mons, with some papers inhis hand, on the subject ofwhich he intended to makea motion, when a rough-hewn member, who had noear for the charms of elo-quence, rudely started up,and said, "Mr. Speaker, 1hope the honourable gen-tlcmau does not mean toread that large bundle ofpapers, and to bore us witha long speech into the bar-gain." Burke was so swol-len with rage, as to be in-capable of utterance, andabsolutely ran out of theHouse. On this occasion,George Selwyn remarked,that it was the only time

be ever saw the fable realised—

12.—The person of Erasmus is thusdescribed by Beatus Rhenanus :

" Inperson not tall, but not noticeablyshort ; in figure well built and grace-ful ; of an extremely delicate con-stitution : sensitive to the slightestchanges of climate, food, or drink.. . . His complexion was fair, lightblue eyes, and yellowish hair.Though his voice was weak, hisenunciation was distinct ; the ex-pression of his face cheerful ; hismanner and conversation polished,affable, even charming."15.—In Poor Robin's Almanack for

1G97 are the following lines, allusiveto this day;In this month is fit. Swiihin's Day ;On which, if that it rain, they say.Full forty days after it willOr more or less, some rain distill.

This Swithin loas a saint, I trow,And Winchester's bishop also,Who in his time did many a feat,As Popish legends do repeat.A woman having broke her eggs.By stumbling at another's legs,

For which she made a woefiil cry,St. Swithin chanced for to come by,Who made them all as sound, or more,Than ever that they ivere before.Better it is to rise by time,And to make hay' when the sun do

shine,Than to believe in tales and lies,

Which idle monks and friars devise.

25.—In 1803 the British Govern-ment bestowed a pension of twohundred pounds a year upon CharlesDibdin, "whose lyric muse had somuch contributed to arouse thevalour of our seamen and soldiersin the day of battle, to warm theirhearts in the hours of merriment,and to console their nights in ihegloom of a dungeon when prisonersin the hands of an implacableenemy."

The man who will live above his pre-sent circumstances is in great dancerof living in a little time much beneaththem.—Addison.

e g>ar6m.Sow peas in the first week for thelast crop of the season. In the lastweek sow yellow turnips for a fullwinter crop, and spinach for an earlywinter supply. Plant full crops ofcelery, celeriac, and endive, aboutthe middle and end of the month

;

late crops of broccoli, cauliflower,and coleworts in the last week.Gather and dry medicinal and pot-herbs ; also propagate such by slipsand cuttings. Continue the summerpruning and training of all wall-trees, with the destruction of in-

sects. Plant strawberries in potsfor forcing next winter. Take upthe remainder of tuberous roots,such as anemone and ranunculus,and finish by the end of the first

week. Propagate herbaceous andother plants, that have gone out offlower, by means of slips and cut-tings. Advantage should be takenof rainy weather for planting, other-wise copious watering will benecessary. In dry weather, dip theroots in puddle before watering.

TRAVELLING IN THE OLDEN TIME.

The world is better noiv than then.—Leigh Hunt.

GENTLEMAN whose veracity may be depended£ on, slept, or rather should have slept, at the^ York Hotel, in the city of York, one morning in

the month of May, 1822. He did not retire till mid-night. Having taken his place by the HighflierSheffield coach, which was to leave at half-past eightnext morning, he gave orders to be called at half-pastseven. He straightway composed himself ; but at oneo'clock, he was roused by a knocking at the door.

" Who 's there ? " said the sleepy traveller." Pray, sir, don't you go by the mail ?"" No, I go by the Highflier."" Beg your pardon, sir, it 's another gentleman."

*THE COUNTRY INN.

*

Of this establishment how can we speak ?

Its cheese is mity, and its ale is weak.

* *I

After many twistings and twinings he slumberedagain, but scarcely had Morpheus taken him into hisservice ere a second voice said : "Two o'clock, sir, theExpress will be off in half an hour.""What have I to do with the Express 1

? I wish youwould express yourself elsewhere."" Laws, sir, I was towd you went by the Express."" I told your master I was to go by the Highflier, and

I hope I shall hear no more of you till half-past seven."" I ax your pardon, sir."

Again he tumbled and tossed, and again he becamesubject to the son of Erebus ; but he was doomed to behaunted. At half-past three he heard a loud thunderingat the door, " Sir, I've brong your boots, you mun beup in a moment, the coach is at the door."Out bounced the astonished guest, and quickly re-

joined, "Why did you not speak before? Why didyour master say the coach went at half-past eight ?

"

"Bless me, sir, is it you as goes by the Highflier?They towd me as how you went by the Nelson. Begyour pardon, sir, am sure."In any other place but York, this would have been

the last customer, but the fates conspired. At five heheard another knocking, and his patience being ex-hausted, he exclaims, " What do you want?"A faltering female replies, "Don't you go by the

Highflier, sir ?

"

"To be sure I do."" Well, sir, I'll be sure to call you at half-past seven."Half-past seven arrived, and the gentleman made his

appearance amidst a numerous assemblage of menials,all laden with petitions and apologies. "Please toremember the porter, sir." " Please to remember thewaiter, sir." "Remember boots, sir." "Rememberme, sir, if you please ; I'm the chamber-maid, I calledyou, sir." Omnes, " I beg pardon, sir, for disturbingyou ."

" Yes, I'll pardon and remember you too, when I ammany miles hence."

" But don't you mean to gee us nothing, sir ?"

"Yes, I do mean to give you nothing; and I'll re-member you all as long as I live, you may rely upon it."

MDNGST the frequenters of Vauxhall Gardens in the beginning of(gjv this century was the eccentric baronet, Sir John Diuely, one of the

first to make use of the matrimonial advertisement. He used to beseen there parading up and down in a cloak with long flowing folds and abroad hat, which looked as if it had started out of a picture by Vandvke. Inspite of all his advertising efforts to gain a rich wife, he died a bachelor.Here is an extract from one of his advertisements, taken from the Ipswich

Journal of August 21st, 1802. It will be observed that he speaks of his " for-tune, but that is to be taken with a grain of salt. "To the angelic fair.'

August is the eighthmonth of the year. It wascalled Sextilis by the lio-mans, from its being thesixth month in their calen-dar, until the Senate com-plimented the EmperorAugustus by naming itafter him, and throughthem it is by us denomi-nated August.Our

_ Saxon ancestorscalled it "Amynonat (morerightly barv-moneth), in-tending thereby the thenfilling of their barnes withcome." Am is the Saxonword for harvest. Accord-ing to some they also calledi t Woedm-onath, as they like-wise called June.The sign of the zodiac

entered by the sun thismonth is Virgo, the Virgin.

1.—"Antiquaries," says

Brand, "are divided intheir opinions concerningthe origin of Lammas Day ;

some derive it from Lamb-Mass, because on that daythe tenants who held landsunder the cathedral churchin York, which is dedicatedto St. Peter ad Vincula,were bound by their tenureto bring a live lamb intothe church at High Mass

;

others derive it from asupposed offering or ty th-ing of lambs at this time."Various other derivationshave been imagined.Blount, the glossographer,says that Lammas is calledHlaf-Mass, that is Loaf-Mass, or Bread-Mass, whichsignifies a feast of thanks-giving for the first fruitsof the corn. It was ob-served with bread of newwheat, and in some placestenants are bound to bringnew wheat to their lord,on or before the 1st ofAugust. New wheat iscalled Lammas - Wheat.Vallancey affirms thnt thisday was dedicated, in Ire-land, to the sacrifice of thefruits of the soil ; thatLaith-mas the day of theobligation of grain, is pro-nounced La-ee-mas, a wordreadily corrupted to Lam-mas; that ith signifies allkinds of grain, particularlywheat, and that mas signi-fies fruit of all kinds, espe-cially the acorn, whencethe word mast. Prom theseexplications may easily bederived the reasonablemeaning of the word Lam-mas.19.—Henry V. of England

most every historian has dwelt withpleasure on the beauties of his per-

son and character. His mind wasfirm and well-informed ; his courageinvincible; and his disposition gene-rous and humane. An author, con-temporary -with Henry, says, "Hewas very stronsr, and so swift, thatwithout either dogs or missive wea-pons, he could catch a doe, one ofthe fleetest animals."

Ray's Proverbs.

This is about the time when thewatery spellof a weeping St. Swithinh:is nearly ceased to draw down thetears of Cceluin, the forty days oflamentation ending yesterday. Thefirst-quoted proverb, therefore, re-

lates to the speedy clearing up andsettling of the weather to-day. An-other saying:—

All the tears that St. Swiihin can cry,

St. Barthemy's dusty mantle wipesdry.

To this monarch the fear of de.'ith

During the reignof this sanguinary tyrant upwardsof 4,000 persons were put to deathwithout form of law. Some werethrown down precipices, some tor-tured to death, and many starved orstifled in deep damp dungeons.

THE SHEPHERD'S CHILD.

^^e Qaxben.

Sow winter and spring spinach inthe beginning and about the endof the month ; parsley and winteronions for a full crop in the first

week ; cabbages,cauliflowers, savoys,and German greens,about the middleof the month, for planting out inspring ; lettuces in the first and lastweek ; small salads occasionally.Plant and earth up celery and en-dive. A few coleworts may still beplanted. Net up, in dry weather,gooseberry and currant bushes, topreserve the fruit till late in theautumn. Every exertion should nowbe made to preserve the ripeningfruit- on the walls from insects, andto destroy wasps' nests. Sow auri-cula and primula seeds in pots andboxes. During this month the huesof autumn will begin to make theirappearance ; but its approaches inthe flower borders may be deferredfor a considerable time by regularlyremoving decayed flowers of suchplants as throw out a succession.

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

Shakespeare.

SHEPHERD who inhabited a valley in the

cM\±- Grampian Mountains, when one day lookingvi7^D after his flock, took with him one of his child-ren, a little boy of three years old.After going some distance, attended by his dog, the

shepherd found that he needed to ascend a hill at somedistance. As the ascent was too fatiguing for thechild, he left him on a small plain at the bottom, withstrict injunctions not to stir from it till his return.Scarcely, however, had he gained the summit, when

the horizon was darkened by one of those impenetrablemists which frequently descend so rapidly amidst thesemountains as in the space of a few minutes almost toturn day to night. The anxious father instantly hast-ened back to find his child ; but, owing to the unusualdarkness, he missed his way. After a fruitless searchof many hours, he discovered that he had reached the

bottom of the valley, and was near his own cottage. Torenew the search that night was fruitless.

Next morning, by break of day, the shepherd, ac-companied by a band of his neighbours, set out in searchof his child ; but, after a day spent in fruitless fatigue,he was at last compelled by the approach of night todescend from the mountain. On returning to hiscottage, he found that the dog he had lost the daybefore had been home, and, on receiving a piece ofcake, had instantly gone off again. For several succes-sive days, the shepherd renewed the search for hischild, and still on returning home disappointed in theevening, he found that the dog had been home, and onreceiving his allowance of cake, had disappeared.Struck with this singular circumstance, he remained

at home one day ; and when the dog, as usual, departedwith his piece of cake, he resolved to follow him, andfind out the cause of this strange procedure. The dogled the way to a cataract at some distance from thespot where the shepherd had left his child. The banksof the cataract were almost joined at the top, yet sepa-rated by an abyss of immense depth. Down the ruggedand almost perpendicular descent the dog began, with-out hesitation, to make his way, and at last disappearedby entering into a cave.The shepherd, with difficulty, followed ; but, on

entering the cave, what were his emotions, when hebeheld his infant eating with much satisfaction thecake which the dog had just brought him ; while thefaithful animal stood by, eyeing his young charge withthe utmost complacence ! From the situation in whichthe child was found, it appeared that he had wanderedto the brink of the precipice, and then either fallen orscrambled down till he reached the cave. The dog bymeans of his scent had traced him to the spot, andafterwards prevented him from starving by giving upto him his own daily allowance. He appears never tohave quitted the child by night or day, except when it

was necessary to go for food.

V^EAN PA'UL RICHTER observed that if a lady officer wanted to givetMt the word " Halt," she would do it in the following strain :

" Vou^ soldiers, all of you, now mind what I say, I order you, as soon as Ihave done speaking, to stand still, every one of you, on the spot where youhappen to be. Don't you hear me? Halt 1 I say, all of you."Upon this a strong-minded woman, in an American paper, makes the fol-

lowing comment :—"Now, Monsieur Jean, it was an unlucky day on which you

wrote that sentence. M:iy you never hear anything hut that little conciseword ' No ' from every rosy pair of lips you meet. May you halt wifelessthrough life. May your buttons lie snappish, your strings knotty, and yourstockings full of holes. May your bootjack be missing, your feet corny, andyour shaving water cold ; your razor dull, your hair stand up, your collar liedown. May your coffee be muddy, your toast smoky, and your tea (?) waterbewitched ; and, with a never-dying desire for affection, may you crawlthrough creation a meek, miserable, nasty, forlorn, fidgety, fussy, ridicu-lous, ruined, dejected old bachelor."

called this month " Gerst-monat, for that barleywhich that moneth com-monly yeelded was antient-ly called gerst, the name ofbarley being given unto it

by reason of the drinketherewith made, calledbeere, and from beerlegh it

come to be berleah, andfrom berleg to barley. Soin like manner beereheym,to wit, the overdecking orcovering of beere, came tobe called berham, and after-wards barme, having sincegotten I wot not how manynamesbesides. Thisexcel-lent and healthsome liquor,beere, antiently also calledael, as of the Danes it yetis i beere and ale being: ineffect all one), was first ofthe Germans invented, andbrought in use."

2.—There is a descriptionof the Great Fire of Lon-don in a rare tract, pub-lished in the year 1667, en-titled, "Vincent's God'sTerrible Voice in the City,"which begins as follows :—

" It was the 2nd of Sep-tember, 1666, that the an-ger of the Lord was kin-dled against London, andthe fire began : it began ina baker's house, in PuddingLane, by Fish Street Hill;and now the Lord is mak-ing London like a fieryoven in the time of hisanger, and in his wrathdoth devour and swallowup our habitations. It wasin the depth and dead ofthe night, when most doorsand fences were locked upin the city, that the fire

did break forth, and appearabroad like a mighty giantrefreshed with wine."

5.—Two Irish gentlemenwalking in the Place Ven-dome, stopped before acelebrated statue of Vic-tory holding the crown oflaurel over the head ofLouis XIV. A Frenchofficer was enumeratingthe splendid deeds of thatheroic king, and called par-ticular attention to the at-titude of Victory. "Pray,sir," said one of the Irish-men, "may I take the

liberty of asking a question ? Is

Victory putting the laurel on hismajesty's head, or taking it oft?

"

8—On the 8th of September, 1741,

a terrible storm did considerabledamage on the river Thames, andmany trees were torn up by theroots; at Newcastle great damagewas done to the shipping; at

Canterbury, by the fall of chim-neys, and the untiling of houses,several parts of the city lookedas if they had been bombarded

;

at Huntingdon, several windmillswere overthrown, and in one themiller was killed; but St. Ives pre-

sented a scene of complete desola-

tion, many houses being stripped,some thrown down, and the line

spire of the steeple totally demo-lished; a little boy, who had runinto the church porch, and stayed till

it was full of stones, endeavouredto get out at a window in the side,

and was carried away by the wind,and thus his life was miraculouslypreserved; at Biggleswade the stormdid not last twenty minutes.

23.—About this period of the yearthe walnut, which dates its originfrom the warm vales of Persia, is in

general plentiful. Anciently, manycurious ceremonies were practisedwith nuts and walnuts, and thelatter were commonly strewed at theRoman weddings, especially in all

the avenues leading to the nuptialapartment, and before the feet ofthe bride on her way to the altar.

This ceremony, says Dr. Hunter,k was to show that the bridegroomhad left off all boyish amusements.To this nuptial sport allusions arefrequently made by the poets ; wefind it mentioned by Catullus, whospeaks of it thus :

Let the air with Hymen ring!Hymen, Io Hymen, sing !

Soon the nuts will now be flung ;Soon the wanton verses sung

;

Soon the bridegroom will be told

Of the tricks he played of old.

Sow a few small salads for latecrops ; lettuce and spinach, if notdone last month, for spring crops.Plant endive and lettuce. If broc-coli be too strong or tall to with-stand the winter, lift them and laythem nearly up to the neck in theearth. Lift onions, and lay themout on a dry border or gravel walk.Lift potatoes and store them. Finishthe autumn pruning and training offruit-trees. Gather and store care-fully the autumnal sorts of applesand pears. Plant strawberries fora main crop. Sow in the beginningof the month all half-hardy annuals,if not done last month ; also thedifferent species of primula, and theseeds of all such plants as, if sownin spring, come up the same season,but, if sown in September or Octo-ber, vegetate readily the succeedingspring. Continue the propagationof herbaceous plants, and plantevergreens. If a bed is preparedexpressly to sow pinks as showflowers, it should be done now.The soil should lie good loam, abouta foot and a half deep. Keep walksand borders as neat as possible.

THE JEWELS.

The poetry of earth is never dead.— Keats.

fuTpHE celebrated teacher, Rabid Meir, sat during theHfjN whole of one Sabbath day in the public school,*eJ instructing the people. During his absencefrom the house his two sons died, both of them ofuncommon beauty, and enlightened in the law. Hiswife bore them to her bed-chamber, laid them upon themarriage bed, and spread a white covering over, theirbodies. In the evening the Rabbi Meir came home.

" Where are my two sons," he asked, " that I maygive them my blessing ? I repeatedly looked round theschool, and I did not see them there."She reached him a goblet. He praised the Lord at

the going out of the Sabbath, drank, and again asked—

*OUTSIDE SHOW.

'Tis the mind that makes the body rich ;

And as the sun breaks throiigh the darkest clouds,

So houotir pecreth in the meanest habit.

What, is the jay more preciotis than the larkBecause hisfeathers are more beatttiful ?

Or is the adder better than the eel

Because his painted skin contents the eye ?

. Shakespeare.^

" Where are my sons, that they, too, may drink of thecup of blessing^"

" They will not be far off," she said, and placed foodbefore him that he might eat.

He was in a gladsome and genial mood ; and whenhe had said grace after the meal, she thus addressedhim :

" Rabbi, with thy permission, I would fain propose tothee one question.""Ask it, then, my love," he replied." A few days ago, a person entrusted some jewels to

my custody, and now he demands them again : shouldI give them back again 1

"

"This is a question," said Rabbi Meir, "which mywife should not have thought it necessary to ask.What ! wouldst thou hesitate or be reluctant to restoreto every one his own ?

"

"No," she replied, "but yet I thought it best not torestore them without acquainting you therewith."She then led him to the chamber, and stepping to the

bed, took the white covering from the dead bodies."Ah ! my sons, my sons !" thus loudly lamented the

father ; "my sons ! the light of my eyes and the light ofmy understanding !—I was your father, but ye were myteachers in the law."The mother turned away and wept bitterly. At

length she took her husband by the hand and said

" Rabbi, didst thou not teach me that we must not bereluctant to restore that which was entrusted to ourkeeping? See, the Lord gave, the Lord has takenaway, and blessed be the name of the Lord?""Blessed be the name of the Lord!" echoed Rabbi

Meir; "and blessed be His name for thy sake too, forwell it is written, ' Whoso hath found a virtuous wife,hath a greater treasure than costly pearls : she openethher mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the lawof kindness.' "—Traditions of the Rabbins.

CI? HE street cries of London have their irritating as well as their amusingOiA^P side. A correspondent writes :—

At 7.30 a.m. my street, near Bedford Square, is awakened from itsslumbers by a brazen-throated woman, who would shake the walls of Jeri-cho, with " Crash ! vvaddie greases !

" and she is but one of five, less power-ful, but quite as lasting. Then follow men, most mournful, with coals, fish,

vegetables; one broad-chested coster, with a mouth like the entrance to aquart pot and a roar like an angry lion, " Make her all, foresherlin ! fore-snerling! foresherlin!" a morose monomaniac, with two long-drawn, mel-ancholy, maddening notes, " Yack—Yowe !

" meaning milk : three men, witha small donkey-load of lettuce, " Five at pegs, all 'ot 'ere, yah." " Soo dak adaddy rum broo-o !" and so on, without fifteen minutes' cessation at a time.When I complain of these things, 1 am told, " These people must live." Sohe it ; but have I and countless others no share in that general heritage?

STHAT HOY&S,

The velocity with whichtime flies is .infinite, as is

most apparent to those wholook back.—Seneca.

October is a month as va-rious as April—clear skiesand fogs, drought and rain,sunshine and storm, green-ness and nakedness—it hasthem all, and often in arapid succession. In theearly part of the month thehardy yarrow and a fewother flowers remain, andthe meadow-saffron andthe autumnal crocus springup, and give a last gleamof floral beauty to the year.The grass, if the weatherbe mild, is vividly greenand luxuriant as in Spring.Fine clear days occasion-ally come out, affording inthe perfect repose of thelandscape, the blueness ofthe waters, and the strongshadows cast by the treesupon the sunny ground, thehighest pictorial beauty

;

but they are speedily past,and rains and mist wrapthe face of the earth ingloom. Yet the gloomsand obscurity of autumnalfogs, however dreary tothe common eye, are notunwelcome to the lover ofNature. They give an airof wildness to the mostordinary scenery ; hut tomountains, to forests, tosolitary sea-coasts, theyadd a sombre sublimitythat at once soothes andexcites the imagination

;

and even when not plea-sant themselves, they min-ister to our pleasures byturning the heart to ourbright firesides — to thewarmth and perpetual sum-mer of home.4.—In his first speech to

his Parliament, ltichardCromwell thus beautifullytouches upon his father'sdeath:—"He died full ofdays spent in sore andgreat travail, yet his eyeswere not waxed dim,neither was his naturalstrength abated; as it wassaid of Moses, he was ser-viceable even unto thelast. As to these nations,he left them in great hon-our abroad, and iu fullpeace at home : all Eng-land, Scotland, and Irelanddwelling safely, every manunder his vine and his fig-

tree, from Dan, even toBeersheba."Richard Cromwell was

an amiable man, but whollydestitute of force or energyof character. His last wordswere highly characteristic.When dying, he said to hisdaughters, "Live in love.

I am going to the God oflove."

None can with safety attack the powerful.

9—St. Dionvsius, whose name is

abbreviated into Deny?, was Bishopof Paris. He is said to have diedAD. 272. Tradition informs us thathe was martyred on Mont St. Mar-tvr ; and an absurd distich has beenfounded on his legendary end ; it

runs thus :—

St. Denis had his head cut off—he didnot care for that,

He took it up, and carried it a milewithout his hat.

10.—On the 10th of October, 1791,

the brave Polish general ThaddeusKosciusko fell into the hands of theRussians, covered with wounds,whilst rallying his countrymen torepel the ferocious invaders of hiscountry. It is but just to say thatthe barbarity exercised upon thePoles by the soldiers of the Empressof Russia was not extended to this

gallant man; for, during his cai>-

tivity, he was treated with greatrespect, and the Emperor Paul be-stowed upon him an estate.

15.—Hume, in summing up thecharacter of James II., says, "Indomestic life, his conduct was irre-

proachable; severe, but open in hisenmities: steady in his councils;diligent in his schemes; brave in

his enterprises; faithful, sincere,and honourable in his dealings withall men." If his good qualities hadnot been swallowed up in bigotryand arbitrary principles, there is

every reason to believe he wouldhave made an excellent sovereign,his middling talents were aided byso many virtues.

17—St. Etheldreda was a Saxonprincess of distinguished piety, andwas born about 630 in Suffolk. Inthe year 673 she founded the con-ventual Church of Ely with the ad-joining convent. Of this monasteryshe was constituted abbess. It

flourished for nearly two hundredyears.

Plaxt small salads and radishes in

the first week ; mazagan beans andearly frame peas in the last week.If the winter prove mild they will

be somewhat earlier than thosesown next month or in January.Plant cabbages in beds or closerows till wanted in spring. Storepotatoes, beet, carrots, parsnips,&c., by the end of the month. Thisis the best season for transplantingfruit-trees. Store and lay up verycarefully during the month all sortsof apples and pears, the longest-keeping sorts not before the end ofthe month, if the weather be mild.A great part of them may be placedin a close cellar. Plant the greaterpart of the common bulbs about theend of the month, with a few ane-mones for early flowering. Put in

cuttings of all sorts of evergreens.The garden kinds of roses may nowbe pruned and the suckers removed.Thrift and other edgings may still

be planted. Destroy weeds and keepthe walks and other parts of thegarden neat and clean. Protect anychoice flowers from heavy rains.

ARTISTIC ABSURDITIES.

Variety's the very spice of life.—Cowper.

-AjFN looking over some collections of old pictures, it

"^th is surprising what extraordinary anachronisms,"-J blunders, and absurdities, are often discoverable.In the gallery of the convent of Jesuits at Lisbon,

there is a picture representing Adam in Paradise,dressed in blue breeches with silver buckles, and Evewith a striped petticoat. In the distance appears a pro-cession of Capuchin monks engaged in bearing the cross.

In a country church in Holland there is a paintingrepresenting the sacrifice of Isaac, in which the painterhas depicted Abraham with a blunderbuss in his hand,

ready to shoot his son. A similar edifice in Spain has apicture of the same incident, in which the patriarch is

armed with a pistol.

At Windsor there is a painting by Antonio Verrio, in

which the artist has introduced the portraits of himself,

Sir Godfrey Kneller, and May, the surveyor of theworks of that period, all in long periwigs, as spectators

of Christ healing the sick.

A painter of Toledo, having to represent the threewise men of the East coming to worship on the nativity

of Christ, depicted three Arabian or Indian kings, twoof them white and one black, and all of them in theposture of kneeling. The position of the legs of eachfigure not beina: very distinct, he inadvertently paintedthree black feet for the negro king, and three also

between the two white kings ; and he did not discoverhis error until the picture had passed out of his hands,and was hung up in the cathedral, and subjected to thecriticism of his fellow citizens.

In another picture of the Adoration of the Magi,which was in the Houghton Hall collection, the painter,

Brughel, had introduced a multitude of little figures,

finished off with true Dutch exactitude, but one wasaccoutred in boots and spurs, and another of the wisemen was handing in, as a present, a little model of aDutch ship.The same collection contained a painting of the

stoning of Stephen the martyr, by Le Soeur, in whichthe saint was attired in the habit of a Roman Catholicpriest at high mass.A picture by Rubens, in the Luxembourg, represents

the Virgin Mary seated in council, in company with twocardinals and the god Mercury, who were assisting in

her deliberations.

N extraordinary instance of the power of enthusiasm to surmount the

rx)A-" most disheartening obstacles is met with in the life of Audubon, the^=^- famous naturalist. Going on a journey he left a collection of twohundred of his original drawings—the work of many years—in the hands of

a relative residing in Kentucky. On his return he called for the box whichcontained them. "The box," he says, "was produced and opened, hut-reader, feel for me !—a pair of Norway rats had taken possession of thewhole, and had reared a young family amongst the gnawed hits of paperwhich, but a few months before, represented nearly a thousand inhabitantsof air! I slept not for several nights, and the days and nightspassed like days of oblivion, until, the animal power being recalled intoaction through the strength of my constitution, I took up my gun, my note-book, and my pencils, and went forth to the woods as gaily as if nothing hadhappened. I felt pleased that I might now make better drawings than be-fore, and ere three years had elapsed I had my portfolio fllled again."

The month of Novemberwas said by the ancients tobe under the tutelary pro-tection of Diana, and thismight possibly be on ac-count of the prevalence ofhunting and lield sports ingeneral during this month.In the calm, dark, warmdays which now often oc-cur, when sounds are hoardat a distance, this notionhas often suggested itselfto us when we have heardthe cheerful and livelymusic of several packs ofharriers and of beagles atone time, in full cry, in dif-ferent directions, as used tobe often heard in Sussex;and on hearing which womight well say with Shaks-peare

Thy hounds shall make thewelkin answer them,

And fetch shrill echoes fromthe hollow earth.

21.—Purcell, the famous musician,died on the 2ist of November, 1695,

at the age of thirty-seven. Hisdeath is commonly ascribed to acold, occasioned by being kept toolong at his own door, one evening,when he came home. It is said thathis wife, provoked at his habit ofkeeping late hours, had ordered theservants not to admit him aftermidnight. Unfortunately, he camehome from a tavern heated withwine, beyond the prescribed hour,•was kept for some time at the doorin a cold night, and contracted thedisease of which he died.This story, 60 shocking to the

memory of his widow, does notseem to be authenticated, and weare not inclined to believe it. If

she could have treated her husbandwith such harshness as to cause hisdeath, the expressions of grief andtenderness, in her dedication to

Lady Elizabeth Howard, prefixed tothe posthumous publication of hisworks, must have been a piece ofhypocrisyrevolting to every body, ata time when, if there was any found-ation for the story, it must havebeen well known. Besides, Purcell,in his will, made on his death-bed,and dated on the 1st of November,after reciting that he was in soundmind, though very ill in constitu-tion, leaves all his effects to his lov-ing wife Frances, and appoints herhis sole executrix; a mark of hislove and affection which he wouldhardly have shown had he felt him-self dying in consequence of herunkind treatment. It may be addedthat his phrase, ill in constitution,corroborates the opinion that hisdeath was occasioned by a consump-tion or decline, probably produced,or at least aggravated, by intem-perance and irregular hours.

iBc Qaxbert.

Sow early frame peas and mazaga'nbeans in the second week, for anearly crop. Protect endive, celery,artichoke, and sea-kale with stablelitter or ferns ; mulch asparaguswith hot-bed manure ; take up en-dive, late cauliflower, early broccoliand lettuces, and lay them in anopen shed or in old cucumber ormelon pits, which will protect themfrom frost and afford a supply duringwinter. Plant all sorts of fruit-trees in fine weather—the earlier inthe month the better. Commenceand carry on the various operationsof pruning and nailing when theweather permits. Plant dried tubersof border flowers, but the finer sortshad better be deferred till spring.Protect such half-hardy plants aswere not sheltered last month.Plant deciduous trees and shrubsas long as the weather continuesfavom-able, and before the soil hasparted with the solar heat absorbedduring summer. This is the reasonwhy early autumn planting is sostrongly recommended. Tulips mustbe planted in the first week if theweather permits. They are usuallyplanted in rows six inches apart,along a four-foot bed.

A TALE OF A PICTURE.

There is a tale in everything.—Coleridge.

M STRANGER came recommended to a merchant's..^ house at Lubeck. He was hospitably received,

cr^ but the house being full, he was lodged at nightin an apartment handsomely furnished but not oftenused. There was nothing that struck him particularlyin the room when left alone till he happened to cast his

eye on a picture. It was a single head, but there wassomething so frightful, so unearthly, in its expression,that he found himself irresistibly attracted to look at it.

His imagination was filled by it, and his rest broken.In the morning his host saw that he had slept ill,

and inquired the cause, which was told. The masterof the house was much vexed, and said that the pictureought to have been removed, that it was an oversight,and that it always was removed when the chamber wasused. The picture, he said, was indeed terrible to everyone. The story of it was this :—

I

THE BALD PHILOSOPHER.

My hair and I are quits, d'ye see ?

I first cut him, he now cuts me.

" My father," said he, "was at Hamburg on business,and, whilst dining at a coffee-house, he observed ayoung man enter, seat himself alone in a corner, andcommence a solitary meal. His countenance bespokethe extreme of mental distress, and every now andthen he turned his head quickly round as if he heardsomething, then shuddered and grew pale." My father saw this same man at the same place for

two or three successive days, and at length became somuch interested about him, that he spoke to him. Heproved to be an Italian, well informed, poor but notdestitute, and living economically upon the profits ofhis art as a painter. Their intimacy increased, andat length the Italian, seeing my father's involuntaryemotion at his convulsive turnings and shudderings,told him his story." He was a native of Rome, and had lived in some

familiarity with a young nobleman ; but upon someslight occasion they had fallen out, and his patron hadstruck him. The painter brooded over the disgrace ofthe blow. He could not challenge the nobleman, onaccount of his rank ; he therefore watched for anopportunity, and assassinated him. Of course he hadfled from his country, and finally had reached Ham-burg. He had not, however, passed many weeksfrom the night of the murder, before, one day in thecrowded street, he heard his name called ; he turnedshort round, and saw the face of his victim looking athim. From that moment he had no peace ; at all

hours, in all places, and amidst all companies, he heardthe voice, and could never help looking round ; andwhenever he so looked round, he always encounteredthe same face staring close upon him. At last, in amood of desperation, he had fixed himself face to face,and eye to eye, and deliberately drawn the phantomvisage as it glared upon him ; and this was the pictureso drawn. He gave the finished picture to my father,in return for the kindness which he had shown."

©f)c &strolager's Predictions.

TjT"? HE Caliph Abu Jaaffar Almansor sent for a man who was celebrated asc^y an astrologer, and ordered him to take his horoscope. After accurate

calculations, the sage told the Caliph that all pretenders to his thronewould die before him. The astrologer was dismissed without a present.Another was introduced, who, after the usual ceremonies of casting a

nativity, declared, that he would outlive all who could have any pretensionto the Caliphate. This man was handsomely rewarded.The meaning of each prophecy was the same; the terms differed. The

former astrologer had mentioned death ; the latter had softened his speechby another expression. The term death or dying is unpleasant to many

;

among the Romans the idea was held in abhorrence, and on their tombstonesa word signifying that such a one had lived was substituted for another,that would have proclaimed that he died.

constitute, probably, thehighest tribute the Corn-Law rhymer has obtained,or is likely to obtain.

11.—Llewellyn, Prince ofWales, whilst retreatingbefore the victorious armyof Edward I., was killedby a warrior named AdamFranckton. The Welsh-men, upon the death oftheir leader, were dis-persed, and the country re-duced, after having pre-served its liberty for 8'i0

Everything comes to an end which has a beginning.

17.—On the 17th of December, 1154,

Henry II. was crowned King ofEngland. One of this prince's bio-graphers says he was " brave, just,anxious to preserve the prosperityof his subjects, and unwilling tooppress them : as a father, affec-tionate and forgiving ; and as a manfriendly and generous." A curiouscircumstance is related as havingoccurred to the king whilst stop-ping to view St. David's Cathedral,on his return from Ireland, wherehe had been to receive the submis-sion of his subjects. Whilst viewingthe sncred pile, he was molested bythe screaming execrations of an oldWelsh woman, who vociferated inher own tongue, " Oh Lech-laver,deliver us!" This Lech-laver, atthe King's inquiry, was found to bea huge flat stone, then used as abridge in the churchyard, but pro-bably once an object of Druid wor-ship. It had been, it seems, foretoldby Merlin, that on that stone, anEnglish king should die, on hiscoming back from the conquest ofIreland. Henry, whose mind soaredabove vulgar superstition, smiledat the hag's scurrility; gazed with-out emotion at the stone, and withbitter taunts derided the reveriesof the British prophet.

27.—The festival of the Holy In-nocents, or Childermas Day, wasinstituted to commemorate theslaughter of the Jewish children byHerod at the Nativity of our Saviour.

Sow a few peas and beans, as inNovember. Very few operations canbe carried on this month with theexception of trenching and diggingin dry weather—operations whichshould by all means be attended to.The ground should be thoroughlywell turned up for exposure to thefrost and snow. Plant all sorts offruit-trees in mild weather. Mulchover the roots of tender trees suchas apricot and peach, as they are

Ioften so far affected by frost as tobe barren in the coming year. Pro-ceed with pruning and nailing wall-trees whenever an opportunity oc-curs. Examine the fruit that is inthe store-room every week, and re-move all that is found to be in astate of decay. As to the flower-garden, the directions for lastmonth will be found equally appli-cable to this. The store plants inthe pit must be kept dry, and havefull exposure whenever the weatheris fair and not frosty; keep themfree from dead leaves or damp litter.

SOUNDS HEARD BY NIGHT.

The day is done and the darkness

Falls from the wings of night.

_______ Longfellow.

fHE great audibility of sounds during the night is aphenomenon of considerable interest and one

"*Q-J which had been observed even by the ancients.In crowded cities, or in their vicinity, the effect wasgenerally ascribed to the rest of animated beings, whilein localities where such an explanation was inap-plicable, it was supposed to arise from a favourabledirection of the prevailing wind. Baron Humboldtwas particularly struck with this phenomenon when he

first heard the rushing 'of the great cataracts of theOrinoco in the plain which surrounds the mission ofthe Apures. These sounds he regarded as three timeslouder during the night than during the day.Some authors ascribed this fact to the cessation of

the humming of insects, the singing of birds, and theaction of the wind on the leaves of the trees ; butBaron Humboldt justly maintains that this cannot bethe cause of it on the Orinoco, where the buzz of insectsis much louder in the night than in the day, and wherethe breeze never rises till after sunset. Hence he wasled to ascribe the phenomenon to the perfect trans-parency and uniform density of the air, which canexist only at night after the heat of the ground hasbeen uniformly diffused through the atmosphere. Whenthe rays of the sun have been beating on the groundduring the day, currents of hot air of different tem-peratures, and consequently of different densities, areconstantly ascending from the ground and mixingwith the cold air above. The air thus ceases to be auniform medium, and objects seen through it whichare very indistinctly visible have a tremulous motion,as if they were "dancing in the air." The very sameeffect is perceived when we look at objects throughspirits and water that are not perfectly mixed, or whenwe view distant objects over a red-hot poker or over aflame. In all these cases the light suffers refraction inpassing from a medium of one density into a mediumof a different density, and the refracted rays areconstantly changing their direction, as the differentcurrents rise in succession. Analogous effects areproduced when sound passes through a mixed medium.—Sir David Brewster.

Silence is wisdom when speaking is folly.

MUSICAL NOTES.

... *HE government of a country is easy,"Hjjv says a musician, "compared with«-**J the government of a choir."The attitude of great composers towards

other great composers is usually that ofcontempt.One of Paganini's pretended discoveries

was to remove the second and third stringsof his violin and simulate a dialoguebetween the first and fourth.Luther possessed a fine deep voice, and

played both the flute and the lute so wellas to attract the notice of passers-by as hejourneyed to Worms.Would to heaven that a race of mon-

strosities could arise in the world ofartists, players with six fingers oneach hand : then the day of virtuosodomwould be at end.

Schumann.In the thirteenth |

century the use ofthe organ inDivine Servicewas deemed pro-fane and scandal-ous by the Greekand Latin clergy,just as in the seven-teenth century theinstrument wascalled a squeakingabomination bythe Puritans.Mozart used to

prophesy that his

.

youngest child,Wolfgang, would be a genuine Mozart,because when he cried he always did so inthe precise key in which his father hap-pened to be playing at the moment.Pope, after listening to Handel's exquisite

harpsichord playing, declared that it gavehim no pleasure, that his ears were of thatuntoward make and reprobate cast to re-ceive his music with as much indifferenceas a common ballad.There is a caricature of Handel repre-

senting him at the orgfin, with a boar'shead and enormous tusks (a hit at hispassionate temper). The room in whichhe plays is strewn with horns, trumpets,and kettle-drums ; farther off there is adonkey braying, and a battery of artillerywhich is fired by the blazing music of theorganist.When the " Messiah" of Handel was first

performed in London, on the 23rd of March,17A3, it is related that the audience was ex-ceedingly struck and affected by the musicin general, but that when that part of theHallelujah Chorus began "For the LordGod omnipotent reigneth," they were sotransported that they all, with the King,who was present, started at once to theirfeet, and remained standing till the chorusended. The custom of standing during theperformance of the Halleluiah Chorusoriginated from this circumstance.

man—his angel and minister of graces in-numerable, his gem of many virtues, hiscasket of jewels ; her voice is sweet music,her smiles his brightest day, her kiss theguardian of his innocence, her arms thepale of his safety, the balm of his health,the balsam of his life; her industry hissurest wealth, her economy his safeststeward, her lips his faithful counsellors,her bosom the softest pillow of his cares,and her prayers the ablest advocates ofHeaven's blessing on his head.—JeremyTaylor.A Yorkshireman's wife was dying.

was long ill, and during her sickness wasalways exclaiming " Eh ! I'm boun'to dee

the cares of life are forgotten.A clergyman travelling through the

village of Kettle, in Fife, was called intoan inn to officiate at a marriage instead ofthe parish minister, who, from some acci-

dent, was unable to attend, and had causedthe company to wait for a considerabletime. While the reverend gentleman waspronouncing the admonition, and just ashe had told the bridegroom to love andhonour his wife, the said bridegroom inter-

jected the words "and obey," which hethought had been omitted from oversight,though that is part of the ride laid downsolely to the wife. The minister, surprisedto find a husband willing to be henpeckedby anticipation, did not take advantage ofthe proposed amendment ; on which thebridegroom again reminded him of theomission—"Ay, and obey, sir—love, honour,and obey, ye ken !

" and he seemed seriouslydiscomposed at finding that his hint wasnot taken. Some years after the sameclergyman was riding through this villageof the culinary name, when the same mancame out and stopped him, addressing himin the following remarkable words:—" D'yemind, sir, yon day when ye married me,and when I wad insist upon vowing toobey my wife ! Weel, ye may now see thatI was in the richt. Whether ye wad orno, I hae obeyed my wife ; and behold, Iam now the only man that has a twa-storeyhouse in the hale toun !

skill in his vocation, left the town wherehe resided and went to dwell at anothersome distance off, at which place hecommenced physician. Being asked by aperson who had known him formerly thereason of his changing professions, heanswered, "If I now commit faults theearth co vers them."

" Your unchris-tian virulence a-gainst me," said aHuguenot,whohadbeen persecuted forpreaching, " shallcost hundreds ofpeople their lives."This menacebrought the authorinto trouble : hewas cited to a courtof justice, and was

charged with harbouring the most bloodydesigns against his fellow-subjects. "Iam innocent," said he, " of all you lay tomy account. My only meaning was that Iintended (since I could not act as a minis-ter) to practise as a physician."Simple diet is best, for many dishes

bring many diseases.

Pliny.The illness of the body usually brings

out a latent power and philosophy of thesoul, which health never knows ; and Godhas mercifully ordained it as the custom-ary lot of Nature, that in proportion as wedecline into the grave, the sloping path is

made easy and smooth to our feet ; andevery day, as the films of clay are removedfrom our eyes, Death loses the false aspectof the spectre, and we fall at last into its

arms as a wearied child upon the bosomof its mother.

Lord Lytton.Theodoric, Archbishop of Cologne, was

illustrious in his time for his talents, eru-dition, and morals. One day the EmperorSigismund asked of him instructions toobtain happiness. "We cannot, sire, ex-pect it in this world." " Which then is

the way to happiness hereafter ? " " Youmust act virtuously." " What do youmean by that expression?" "I mean,"says Theodoric, " that you should alwayspursue that plan of conduct which youpromise to do whilst you are labouringunder a fit of the gravel, gout, or stone."

A fool or a physician at forty is an adagecontaining more truth than is commonlybelieved. He who has not by that timelearned to observe the causes of self-dis-order shows little signs of wisdom.Each death involves an average of

twenty-eight days of sickness ; that is, forevery person dying twenty-eight personsare sick one day.A certain quack used always to carry

with him a large box full of* medicines

;

and whenever he was consulted by apatient put his hand into the box anddrew out the first that came, exclaimingat the same time, "May heaven be pleasedto send the right one !

"

Physicians are often said to have verylittle religion. It was remarked, as asingular fact, that during the massacre of

St. Bartholomew,although all theCalvinists whowere attached totheir religion, andknown to be so,

were marked outas victims, therewas not a physicianon the list, and, inpoint of fact, not aphysician perishedin that dreadful

1 butchery.The best physicians are Dr. Diet, Dr.

Quiet, and Mr. Merryman.Nature is fighting with disease. A blind

man, armed with a club—that is the phy-sician—comes to settle the difference. Hefirst tries to make peace ; when he cannotaccomplish this he lifts his club and strikesat random. If he strikes the disease hekills the disease, if he strikes Nature hekills the patient.A cheery, hopeful doctor will do his

patients far more good than mere medicine.All clear-sighted physicians now agreethat where chronic or mortal maladies arein question little benefit can be derivedfrom the orthodox method of drugging,and this is why our best doctors lay suchstress on " hygiene," diet, climate, andlast, but not least, an untroubled mind.An able medical writer thus frankly ex-

poses his opinion of his own craft and ofmedicine-taking generally :—" I declare,"says Dr. James Johnson," my conscientiousopinion, founded on long observation andreflection, that if there was not a singlephysician, surgeon, apothecary, man-mid-wife, chemist, druggist, or drug, on the faceof the earth " there would be less sicknessand less mortality than now obtains."'My dart " cried Death, " i" cannot find,

zb'o noiv I'm quite at sea."Quoth Dr. Bolus, "Never mind;Here, take this recipe."

An American, fresh from magnificentwoods and rough clearings, was one dayvisiting the owner of a beautiful seat inBrooklyn ; and, walking with him througha little grove, out of which all the under-brush had been cleared, paths had beennicely cut and gravelled, and the rockscovered with woodbine, suddenly stopped,and, admiring the beauty of the scene,lifted up his hands and exclaimed: "ThisI like ! This is Nature—with her haircombed!" I

while longer ; thebeech and the oakare the last to yield>to the driving show-er and the rudewind ; and whenthese display theirnaked branches thebeauty of the wood-lands is completelypassed, and theyremain in their barrenness till the springagain calls forth the buds into life.

Ttie elm was considered by the ancientsof Eastern nations as a funeral tree as wellas the cypress. It is celebrated in the "Iliad"for having formed a hasty bridge by whichAchilles escaped the Xanthus, when thatriver, by its overflowing, placed him indanger of being carried away. It has beensuggested that the Romans probably in-troduced it into Britain.The willow in Cambridgeshire is called

the Cambridge oak. Old Fuller calls it " asad tree, whereof such who have lost theirlove make their mourning garlands ; andwe know what exiles hung up their harpsupon such doleful supporters. The twigshereof are physick to drive out the folly ofchildren. This tree delighteth in moistplaces, and is triumphant in the Isle of Ely,where the roots strengthen their banks,and top affords fuell for their fire. It grow-eth incredibly fast, it being a by-word inthis county that the profit by willows willbuy the owner a horse before that by othertrees will pay for his saddle. Let me addthat if green ashe may burne before aqueen,^withered ivillows maybe allowed to burne(before a lady." The old saying, " She is inher willows " is here illustrated ; it impliesmourning for a lost mate.

years of struggle.Among conifersmay be noted youngplants of that Ja-panese species seenunder the wings ofJapanese buildings—quaint pigmiesnot three feet high,yet over seventyyears old. Theyare gnarled andtwisted as if theyhad fought thewinds, and caughttheir picturesque-ness of form—as oldoaks catch theirs—

1 by battling withtempests and wintry storms upon the hills.

And yet, is there a compensating beautyin them? Not, surely, as we reckon thebeauty of plant growth. But consider thatthe Japanese, in their horticultural system,have offices for such dwarf trees. Withthem no homestead is complete withoutits garden ; a few square rods may be all

at command, but this area must have its

garden treatment, and the gardens aremodelled after Nature. " San-sui " (mount-ain and water) is the term which in theJapanese describes the cultivator's work.The aim is—within, however, a limitedarea—to present a complete landscape,with rock, valley, plain, water, and mount-ain. Under such miniature presentment,trees and plants must be dwarfed to bearproper relations to the dwarfed valleysand rocks. To such an extent is this copy-ing of Nature in miniature carried, that arocky landscape, with its heights, and levelspaces, and trees, is wrought out, withclose attention to proportions, within thelimits of a great bronze basin. I doubt if

cultivators of the West will emulate themin their mimicry of Nature, but they maywell emulate the painstaking skill whichmakes such small successes possible, andthe assiduous care and the close study ofplant life which are enforced by such arts.

THE LION'S DEN.The lion is not so fierce as painted.—Fuller.

yi NDER the reign of Augustus, king(JojJ) of Poland and. elector of Saxony, a

<-> lion was kept in the menagerie atDresden, between whom and his attendantsuch a good understanding subsisted thatthe latter used not to lay the food whichhe brought to him before the grate, butcarried it into his cage. Generally theman wore a green jacket, and a consider-able time had elapsed, during which thelion had always appeared very friendlyand grateful whenever he received a visitfrom him. Once the keeper, having beento church to receive the sacrament, hadput on a black coat, as is usual in thatcountry upon .

*

*

such occasions,and he still woreit when he gavethe lion his din-ner. The un-usual appearanceof the black coatexcited the lion'srage ; he leaped athis keeper, andstruck his claw3into his shoulder.The man spoketo him gently,when the well-known tone of hisvoice brought thelion in some de-gree to recollec-tion. Doubt ap- '

peared expressed in his terrific features ;

however, he did not quit his hold. Analarm was raised ; the wife and childrenran to the place with shrieks of terror.Soon some grenadiers of the guard arrived,and offered to shoot the animal, as thereseemed, in this critical moment, to be noother means of extricating the man fromhim. But the keeper, who was attachedto the lion, begged them not to do it, as hehoped he should be able to extricate him-self at a less expense. For nearly a quarterof an hour he capitulated with his enragedfriend, who still would not let go his hold,but shook his mane, lashed his sides withhis tail, and rolled his fiery eyes. At lengththe man felt himself unable to sustain theweight of the lion, and yet any seriouseffort to extricate himself would have beenat the immediate hazard of his life. He,therefore, desired the grenadiers to fire,

which they did through the grate, andkilled the lion on the spot ; but in the samemoment, perhaps only by a convulsivedying grasp, he squeezed the keeperbetween his powerful claws with suchforce that he broke his arms, ribs, andspine; and, to the horror of the crowdof onlookers, they both fell down deadtogether in the bottom of the cage.

THE WORLD AT LARGE.

In the beginning of the last century therewas in the menagerie at Cassel a lion that I

showed an astonishing degree of tamenesstowards the woman that had the care of i

him. This went so far that the woman, inii

order to amuse the company that came toisee the animal, would often rashly place i'

not only her hand but even her headbetween his tremendous jaws. She had-jfrequently performed this experimentwithout suffering any injury; but having,once introduced her head into the lion'smouth the animal made a sudden snap,and killed her on the spot. Undoubtedlythis catastrophe was unintentional on the

part of the lion ;

for, probably, atjthe fatal momentthe hair of thewoman's headirritated the lion'sthroat, and com-pelled him tosneeze or cough

;

at least, this sup-position seems tobe confirmed bywhat followed

:

for as soon as thelion perceivedthat he had killedhis attendant thegood - tempered,grateful anima!

!

exhibited signsof the deepest

melancholy, laid himself down by the sideof the dead body, which he would nolsuffer to be taken from him, refused tc

take any food, and in a few days pinedhimself to death.When a lion seizes or strikes its victim,

by some merciful and most marvellousprovision, the mode of whose working is

at present unknown, the sense of pain is

driven out of the victim. The first personwho seems to have noticed this was.;Livingstone, the well-known traveller, whelearned the lesson by practical experienceAfter describing' an attack upon a lion.j

he proceeds: "Starting and looking hall;round, I saw the lion just in the act oJ

springing on me. I was upon a little

height ; he caught my shoulder as hosprang, and we both came to the groundbelow together. Growling horribly close;

to my car he shook me as a terrier doesrat. The shock produced a stupor similaito that which seem3 to be felt by a mouse:after the first shake of a cat. It causes Nsort of dreaminess in which there was ne:

sense of pain or feeling of terror, though|was quite conscious of all that was hap

pening. It was like what patients partiallyunder chloroform describe, who see all theoperation but feel not the knife."

Some thought to raise themselves to high degreeBy riches and unrighteous reward;

Others through friends, others for bare re-

gird;And by wrong waies for themselves pre-

Nor suffered them to ryse or greater grow ;

^WT is related of one of the French kingsKjT) that on being told the people made^-^ free with his character in their

songs, he answered, "It would be very-hard if they were not allowed to sing fortheir money."Alphonso, King of Naples and Sicily, so

celebrated in history for his clemency,was once asked why he was so favourableto all men, even to those most notoriouslywicked ? " Because," answered he, " goodmen are won by justice, the bad byclemency." Whensome of his Minis-ters complained tohim on another oc-casion of his lenity,

which they Averepleased to say wasmore than becamea prince, " What,then," exclaimedhe, "would youhave lions andtigers to reign overus ? Know you notthat cruelty is the

[attribute of wildbeasts — clemencythat of man?"One day, at Pots-

dam, Frederick theGreat heard fromhis cabinet a con-siderable tumult inthe street ; he calledan officer, and toldhim to go and as-certain the cause. The officer went, andcame back to tell his majesty that a veryscurrilous placard against his majesty wasfixed on the wall, but that it was placedso high that a great crowd pressed forward,and were pushing each other to read it.

"But the guards," he added, "will sooncome and disperse them." " Do nothingof the kind," replied the king; "fix theplacard lower down, that they may readit at their ease."The last words of Charles V. of France,

surnamed "The Wise," are memorable forthe noble moral for kings which they con-tain—and, indeed, they are applicable toall, as every man has the power to do goodor evil. "I have aimed at justice," saidhe to those around him ;

" but what kingcan be certain that he has always followedit? Perhaps I have done much evil ofwhich Iam ignorant. Frenchmen, who nowhear me, I address myself to the SupremeBeing and to you. I find that kings arehappy but in this — that they have thepower of doing good." This distinguishedmonarch reigned in France from 1365 till

1380. He was the son of John " the Good,"who died in captivity in England.

The Emperor Sigismund was reproachedfor rewarding instead of destroying hisenemies, as by that means he gave theman opportunity to injure him. " What,"said the noble-minded monarch, " do not Idestroy my enemies when I make themmy friends ?

Who are you, boy?" said the King. "Ibe a pig-boy," answered he. "Where doyou come from? Who do you work forhere?" "I be from the low country ; outof work at present."

MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENTAND THEIR CONSTITUENCIES.

THE General Election of 1886 began on the. 1st of July and ended on the 27th. It tookplace under the Reform Acts of 1884 and 1885, which dealt with representation and re-

distribution of seats, giving to householders and lodgers in counties the same franchises whichwere conferred upon the corresponding classes in boroughs by the Reform Act of 1867, andproviding for a new division of the United Kingdom into county and borough constituencies.

By the legislation o/18S4-S5 the number of members of the House of Commons was increased from652 to 670, and of the IS new members thus created 6 were given to England and 12 to Scotland. Inthe following table we give a summary of the constitution of the House of Commons

Thousands of Testimonials from all Parts of the World.83 Great Georges Street, Leeds, May 13, 1889.

u I am a missionary, and go about a great deal. Some time ago a man asked me to be-

come surety tor him to a chemist, at Darlington, for some of your ' Clarke's Blood Mix-

ture.' He obtained what he wanted, and it completely cured him. He had blotches on

his skin, was generally debilitated, and could not attend to his work. I saw him every

day during the time he went through the course of your Mixture, and I never saw such

a change in a man in my life. He was as clear and as ligbt as a feather, so to speak, in

three weeks. 1 think I ought to let you know that ' Clarke's Blood Mixture,' and nothing

else, cured him. You can make what use you like of this. Henry Welfare."11 Wood Street, Kidderminster, April 13, 1889.

" I write to tell you of the great benefit my boy, aged 17, has received from the use of

vour Blood Mixture. Nine months ago he was taken with severe pains all over the body,

and in a few weeks there, came dreadful eruptions all over the body, about the size of a

shirt button, and of course he could not go to work in such a state. I took him to the

Infirmary, and the doctor said his blood was in a fearful state, and he was in there nearly

three months, and they could not do him a bit of good. And one day reading in the ' Kidder-

minster Sun ' of your Blood Mixture, 1 got him out and got a small bottle to try it.

After he had used one bottle he seemed so much better I got him another. He has nownsed five small bottles, and the eruptions are all gone, and everybody is astonished at

the wonderful cure. Emma Tomlinson."4 Pleasant Place, Bond Street, Vauxhall, London, S.W., March 16, 1889.

" I have suffered from a virulent form of Eczema for the past fourteen months, and

have been attended by different doctors during the whole of that time without any good

result. I also attended a hospital for a time, but received very little benefit. About

eight weeks ago, however, I was persuaded to try Clarke's Blood Mixture, the effect of

which was truly marvellous. The unsightly and painful spots commenced at once to

disappear. I cannot speak too highly of this medicine and its blood-cleansing properties.

You may make what use you like of this letter, and I shall be happy to answer any

questions on the subject at any time. Francis Hbmell."" Messrs The Midland Counties Drug Company, Lincoln."
