* It is very frequently stated by poets of all ages, that particular birds seem to have a tender care for the bodies of the dead. Whether there is any truth in the idea I do not know, but this I am quite sure of—that the old ballad, ‘*The Children in the Wood,” has made many a kind friend for the Robin Redbreast by the affecting lines : ‘** No burial this pretty pair Of any man receives Till Robin Redbreast piously Did cover them with leaves.”

,

Aud the quaint old poet Herrick alludes to the same tradition in his verses ‘‘ upon Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, under the name of Amarillis ” :

** Sweet Amarillis by a spring’s Soft and soul-melting murmurings, Slept; and thus sleeping, thither lew A Robin Redbreast : who at view, Not seving her at ail to stir, Brought leaves and moss to cover her ; But while he, perking, there did prie About the arch of either eye, The lid began to let out day, At which poor Robin flew away. And seeing her not dead, but all disleaw’d He chirpt for joy, to see himself disceay'd.” In the earlier editions of Gray’s Elegy, betore the Epitaph, the following beauti- ful lines were inserted : ‘There scatter’d oft, the earliest of the year, By hands unseen are showers of violets found : The Redbreast loves tobuildand warble there, And little footsteps lighty print the ground.”

> . ive

ine” has adorned the “‘ fair Fidele’s grassy tomb” with the same honor : ‘The Redbreast oft at evening hours, Shall kindly lead his little aid, With hoary moss and gathered flowers, To deck the ground where thou art laid.” It may be only a poetic fancy, but it is a very beautiful one, and I intend to cling to

care of the little redbreast. *

¢ &

Speaking of Herrick, I have a beautiful edition of the ‘* Hesperides” of the dear old man, one cf the ‘* Canterbury Poets ” series just published by Walter Scott. There is not enough knewn of this series nor of the **‘ Camelot Classics,” by the same publisher. They are all beautifully printed ;on toned paper, with a red line round the page, and neatly bound in cloth, for the marvellously small sum of one shilling. Any of my young friends who want to re- plenish.their libraries with good standard works cannot do better than supply them- selves with them.

The other day I came across an extract froma rare old book, published in 1661, by | Richard Lovell, student of Christ Church, |Oxtord, Its name is terrible. Fortunately

easily pronounced and understood. It is calied ** Panzoologicomineralogia, or a Compleat History of Animals and Min- erals.” For the benefit of the medical pro- fession, | give an extract showing the use of the rat for medicinal purposes :

** A mouse dissected and “applied draweth out reeds, darts and other things that stick in the fiesh. When brnised, and reduced to the | consistence of an acopon (what’s that?) with wine, it causes hair on the eyebrow. Mice | being eaten by children when roasted, they | dry up the spittle. The magicians eat them | twice a month against the paines of the teeth. i ‘The water in which they have been boiled | helps against the quinsey. The fresh blood

kilis warts. The ashes of the skin applied with vinegar help the paines of the head. The head worn ina cloth helps the head-ache and ‘epilepsy. The brain being steeped in wine j and applied to the forehead helpeth the head- ache. Used with water it cureth the phren- zy. The liver roasted in the new of the i moon trieth tie epilepsy.” All parts of the body used in different ‘ways would seem to be a cure forevery kind oi disease and suffering. Not being a doc- er 1 dare not express an opinion as to the _ value of these remedies, but I think I may venture upon the assertion that they are quite as valuable as nine-tenths of the patent inedicines which druggists sell now-a-days.

The New Irish Policy.

! ‘IT IS SAID THE GOVERNMENT WILL DEAL WITH THE IRI3H QUESTION THIS YEAR,

!

|G. W. Smalley’s London cable to the iNew York 7Z'ribune says :—‘' There seems ‘to be no reason for much excitement over ‘the Birmingham announcement of the new government policy with reference to lre- iland. What the Birmingham Post says is said with some flourish, but on examination !it contains little that isnew. The germ jof it all may be found in Mr. Chamberlain’s , last speech in the House of Commons, and {in Lord Salisbury’s last platform speech at

land question next year, and to introduce at: Irish local government scheme the year

‘following. The tenants are first to be turned into owners, All _ things else will then be possible, for the bot-

tom will have dropped out of the Irish dis- content. The Irish demand for home rule will cease to be of the revolutionary kind, It is Mr. Chamberlain’s round table scheme over again. Lord Salisbury has announced ihimseli as ready for land reform without | pinning himself to details. You have only ‘to put these two things together to discover the origin of this new portent. The Glad- 'stonians, of course, like it no better than shey liked Mr. Parnell’s new departure. They could not afford to assail the Irish leader for proposing to deal with home

Lord ‘ Hartington, they insist, is against the ‘scheme, but do they suppose that Lord ‘Salisbury is in a position to announce a ' policy which Lord Hartington opposes ¢

Mr. Gladstone, it is said, has promised to preside at the Parnell] banquet, April llth. The promise is conditional, but there is no doubt that it will be kept if practicable. The Liberal leader’s policy is not only to unite Irish and English parties for all practical political purposes, but to make this union visible, conspicuous and strikiug. Were this view not paramount, there are more reasons than one which might lead him to hesitate before offering this public homage to Mr. Parnell. The banquet will be given in the largest pro- curable hall, or perhaps theatre, in London.

Men To Be Loved.

! ‘ ‘

| There are some men whom it is always a ‘delight to meet, whom we grapple to in our ‘hearts, as with “hooks of steel.” We may not see them much. Qur paths may be widely separated. But we love them all the same. And when Providence may throw ns _ together, there is an unfailing conviction that -we have metaman whom it is safe to trust and commend. These are men who have opinious and are willing to a them. They are men that no favor can buy or any hatred or threats frighten to wrong courses. They do not always cry hosanna with the multitude, nor ‘‘cracify,” when the tide turns that way. Never having any selfish ends to serve that could lead them to wrong another, they are beyond the temptation of lying and double-dealing and crafty sub- terfuges. They do right because it is right. If a neighbor is wronged or slandered or per- secuted, be he black or white, rich or poor, high or low, they fear not to say so. It may offend some powerful person or family to speak so frankly, but he thinks not for that. He has the clear intelligence to see that dishonesty and wrong doings are not only mean and cowardly, but that they de- grade and weaken whowever engages in them. When he knows a man has lied. to him or about him, he neither can respect or fear him, until he repents and seeks forgiveness. Such a self-poised, open-browed, God-fearing man is a noble work of God, to be loved to the end of our days. —_—_ +o

A STRANGE Proceepinc.—We learn from the Herald that a woman who resides on Duke Street, Halifax, and who is in poor cir- cumstances, has been soliciting money from peopl: during the past few days to go towards the purchase of a coffin for her husband, who is ill, but net yetdead. The man will, in all probability, live for some time yet. Strange things occur in Halifax nowadays, but the above will take a foremost position in the list of queer doings.

Her friends will not say that she is insane, nor that she is an imbecile, but her mind is almost completely gone. Her memory is that of a baby.

The many admirers of *‘Ben Hur,’ will be interested to learn that its author, Cen. Lewis Wallace, of Indiana, is likely to be sent out as ambassador by the present Ad. ministration at Washington. Lew Wallace was born in Indiana in 1827. After paasing \through the Mexican war he practiced law in thie native State and served one year as State Senator, He served in the civil war as adjutant-general, brigadier-general and finally as major-general, and afterwards sat as _mem- ber of the court which tried the assassins of Lincoln, and later was president of the court which investigated the horrors of the Andersonville military prison. Probably his experience in that trial aided him in the graphic description of the life of prisoners given in “Ben Har.” That greatest of his novels owes much, too, to his experience in the Orient, where he was in I88l as Am- bassador to Tmkey. ‘Ben Hur” suddenly came into extraordinary favor, but not until a considerable time after its publication. It established Wallace’s reputation as a writer, and paved the way fur the favorable _ recept- ion of a minor work, “‘ The Fair God.” Lew Wallace did not appear as an author uatil 1873, when he was 46 years old°
