Avoid drafts at this season of the year —especially sight-drafts—early in the morning, or after dark ; over-dne that is.

’ / eres as Mend.

[t isa happy provision of nature that people do not know when they loose their senses, any fools do not miss the absenco of brains.—New Orleans Pica-

yune. ‘Buy « trunk, Pat,’ said n dealer. ‘And what for should I buy # trunk ? rejoined Pat. ‘To put your clothes in,’ was thereply.’ -And go naked !' ex- claimed Pat. ‘Nota bit iv it!’

Two ladies are discussing a third, who is, of course absent. ‘ She is really eharming,’ says one, ‘and above all, she has such an air of intelligence.’ ‘ Yes, aoswers the other, ‘ but there are no

words to that air.

‘Can dogs find their way home from a long distance ?’ asks an exchange. It’s acceriing to the dog. If it is one you want to get rid of, he can find his way back home from California, If it's a good one, he's apt to get lostif he goes nround the corner.’

Civil Service Reform.— ‘ Monsieur Daval, have you nothing to do?’ ‘ Fin- ished my work, sir.’ ‘ Finished your werk, sir? But you oughtn’t to have finished your work, sir. Ina_ public office, a public servant in this era of civil serviee referm should never have finished his work, sir. Look at that excellent young maa there, who has cepie! the same document seven times over on the very b st cream-laid, wire- wovs, extra superfine official paper, rather than do nothing. He has no idea ef drawing the salary of idloness—of robbing the public treasnry.’

Household Hints.

Carpets should be beaten first on the wrong side and then on the right. Ammvpaia and water will remove most

spets.

A teaspoonful of ammonia to one quart of water sprinkled every other day over plants will cause lice to dis. appear, and not injure the plants.

Hot alum water is good for washing bedsteada, and for shelves where roach- es are likely to come. Cayenne pepper blown into cracks will drive away ants.

Cranberry Jelly.—Onequart of eran. berries, one quart of wator, one pound of sugir. Boil one hour, stirring now and then; strain through a cuilender, aad set aside and ceol.

Sponge Cake.—Six eggs, two cups of powdered sugar, two cups of flour, half a lemon, juice and rind. Whites and yolks to be beaten separately ; flour put in last, as lightly as possible ; oven must be just right—i. e., rather hot; do not look at the cake under twenty minutes. or it will fall.

In cleaning house, do not stir up the whole house at once. Take a floor or even a room at atimo. and genoral dis- comfort will be avoided. Where car- pets wre not taken up, they will be much freshened by using damp Indian meal; sweep twice. Don’t sweep the dirt into the hall—keep it in the room and take itupthare. There is no need of having a double amount of dust in the hall. Papered walls can be wiped down with a soft cloth fastened around the broom. Painted walls can be wash- ed with soda and water.

Plurn Cake.—Three quarters pound of fat pork, chopped very fine; pour on ene pint of boiling water or coffee. Stir well, and remove the stringy part that remains; two cupyof dark brown snygar, two cups dark molasses, one pound of citrow, one pound of raisins, one pound of currants, one table spoonful of cloves, one and a half teaspoonfuls of cinamon, three quarters of a nutmeg, brandy or rum to taste; about five cups of flour, one stadlespoooful of soda. Double the fruit if you want it richer or blacker. Bake rather slowly, ao hour or mere ; frost aud set away for two or three days before cutting. With the extra fruit it will taste like wedding cake, and is ex excellent in spite of prejudices against the pork.

PRECEDING STANZAS FOR

MUSIC,

King Edward the first, of England, had taken prisoner the Queen of Scotland, wife of King Robert Bruce, with her daughter Marjory and other ladies, all of whom, in defiance of the laws of chivalry, he had im- prisoned in the Tower of London. Shortly after the Battle of Bannockburn, a Treaty of Peace, or at least of Truce, was made between King Edward the second of Eng- land, and King Robert, one of the first conditions of it being the immediate free- dom of the Queen, the Princess Marjory, and the other Lady prisoners. Walter Stewart, the High Steward (hereditary) of Scotland, was sent by King Robert to Lon- don, with a strong body of his own retain- ers, and also a guard of King Robert's own Carrick spearmen, to receive and es- cort the ladies back to Scotland Very shortly afterwards, the High Steward and the Princess Marjory were married : the High Steward, a very yeung man of about 24 years, had commanded one ef the four divisions of the Scottish army at Bannock- burn. A settlement of the Crown was, at the same time made by the King, first upon his own, and euly, son David and his heirs, if any ; secondly, upon Edward Bruce, the King’s younger brother, who had material- ly aided King. Robert in recovering his Kingdom ; and thirdly, upon the Princess Marjory, wife of Walter Stewart, and her issue. Edward Bruce was killed at the battle of Dundalk in Ireland, during his brother's lifetime, and left no issue. David Bruce (King David the Second,) died childless; and both Walter Stewart and his wife died at a very early age, leaving one son, named John, who eventually, when an elderly and infirm man, succeeded to the Throne as King Robert the Second, his name having previously been changed from John ; when that first name was given to him, no person could expect that he would ever become King. He was the first Stewart King, and had his own troubles, as all his descendants have had,-—troubles of no slight ner ordin- ary magnitude and severity. The ‘‘ Stan- zas’’ contain the substance of what I im-

NOTES TO THE

agine that Walter Stewart might say to his comrades, on _ setting out for Tiondon. The allusion to the

Gate of York, refers to an inroad into England, by Walter Stewart,with five hun- dred horsemen, in the course of which in- road he appeared before the closed Gate of York, struck his spear into it, challenged, with sound of trumpet, all whe might like to come out and engage in combat, waited for the space of an hour, and, as he met with no reply, rode off with the Scottish flag flying over himself and his myrmidons. The misfortunes of the Stewart Kings be- gan even before the first King of that Race was born. The Princess Margory Brues, wife of Walter Stewart before mentioned, was thrown from her horse, and her neck was broken, within a year after her mar riage ; the life of her unborn son was saved by the Cesarian eperation. Who could foresee that this unhappy infant would live to be King Robert the Second of Seotiand, the ancestor of so many unhappy Kings,— of the Wolf of Badenoch, of Donald the Hammerer, and of that quintessence of some of the evil and all the good qualities of the Stewarts; H. R. H. Prince Charles Edward, whose tomb in St. Peter’s Cathe- dral at Rome, bears the epitaph of Charles the Third, King of Great Britain. Ireland, and France ! His mother was the dangh- ter of John Sobieski, ‘‘ the Wizard King,” of Poland, who saved Europe from subjec- tion to the Mahemetan horde, before Vienna. O ! That he and his gallant Polish Lancers could have charged at Culloden !
