Gleanings From My Common-place Books.

A VINDICATION OF THE ENGLISH CONSTITU- TION BY BENJAMIM DISRAELI THE YOUNGER, PUBLISHED IN 1835, EXTRACT THEREFROM.

If neither ancient ages, nor the more re- cent experience of our newer times can sup- ply us with a parallel existence of a free government founded on the broadest basis of popular rights, yet combining with dem- ocratic liberty, aristocratic security and monarchial convenience; if the refined spirit of Greece; if the great Romaa soul; if the brilliant genius cf feudal ltaly,—alike failed in realizing this great result, let us cling with increased devotion to the match- less creation of our ancestore, and honor with still deeper feelings of gratitude and veneration, the English Constitution. That Constitution, my lord, established civil equality in a rude age, and anticipated by centuries,in its beneficent practice, the sub- lime theories of modern philosophy; having made no equal, it has kept us free. If it has united equality with freedom, so also it has connected freedom with glory. It has established an empire which .combines the durability of Rome with the adventure of Carthage. It bas, at the same time, secur- ed us the most skillful agriculture, the most extended commerce, the must in- genious manufactures, victorous armies, and invincible fleets. Nor has the intel- lectual might of England, under its foster- ing auspices, been less distinguished than its imperial spirit, its maaly heart, or its natioual energy. The authors of England have formed the mind of Eurepe, and stamped the breathing impression of their genius on the vigorous character of a new world. Under that Constitution the ad- ministration of justice has been so pure that its exercise has realized the dreams of some Utopian romance. That Constitution has struggled successfully with the Papacy, and finaily, and for the {first time, proved the compatibility of sectarian toleration and national orthodoxy. It has made private ambition con- ducive to public welfare; it has baffled the machinations of factions and of parties; and When those more vislent convulsions have ariseii, from whose periodic visitations no human institutions can be exempt, the English constitution has survived the moral earthquake and outlived the mental hurri- cane, and been sedulous that the natural course of our prosperity should only be dis- turbed and not destroyed. Finally, it has secured for every man the career to which he is adapted, and the reward to which he

to preside over courts and parliaments, to maintain law by learning, and to recom- mend wisdom by eloquence; and it has secured to me, in common with every sub- ject of this realm, a right—the enjoyment of which I would not exchange for

‘* The ermined stole,

The starry breast and coroneted brow,” the right of expressing my free thoughts to a free people.

DEFENDING THE BRITISH EMPIRE. -

But if it comes to the question of defend- ing British interests, if it comes to the question of standing up for that great fabric of the British Empire, which has been raised up by our forefathers through many a strugyle and many a toil, then, even at the risk of shedding the blood of my countrymen, even at the risk of all we hold dear, our country shall put forward all her strength to prevent that glorious fabric being detached or impaired. With the possession of an enormous power we have an enormous responsibility. The flag

globe, and floats supreme. In Asia, in Africa, in America, in Australia, through- out the Islands of the seas, the drum of England is heard at every hour of the day, every hour of the night. The flag of Eng- land is seen fluating in the breeze in every ime. It w t by i hee ; it was not carelessness, it was 10® by apathy and a ‘ of duty, by England that that vast

»has fallen to our lot—some of it, Thaps, by means which we in this day would uot deem _ satisfac- tory; but, as it is ours, it is ours

ee that no man suffers injustice within it; ig ours to see that the rude hand of no spoiler touches it; it is ours to see that no military *monarch, however vaet his re- sources, shipll be allowed to tear asunder from us aga@ist their will any of those de- pendencies which have their reliance upon us. —Gathorne Hatdy, at Edinburgh, Decem- ber, 1877.

With me the people’s welfare is*the supreme law, and our country’s honor and safety the first consideration. But I prefer national interests to the triumph of a fac- tion. -I am weak enough to own that I still believe in the now derided obligation of patriotism and the duty of the individual to the State as one of the first principles planted in the human breast. 1 know my country’s defects, but I cannot join with those who-exaggerate and parade them. ae It is ours to hand down to pos- terity, undimmed and undiminished, the priceless heritage of a freé State, the im- perceptible aggregations of centuries won by the struggles of a heroic national life. It was planted and has been reared and watered by the sweat, the tears, the blood of some of the nobiest of men. She has carried liberty and laws, art and thought, in triamph round the globe. If England be old, she is not decrepit, and has still within her daring and elasticity.—Joseph Cowen.

THE UNION JACK.

Our national flag at the present day is the Union Jack—a combination of the flags of St. George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick, the patron saints of England, Scotland and

ee

back than 1606, after the union of the crowns of England and Scotland by James the First. This flag consisted of a combi- nation of the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew, and was in 1707 constituted by royal proclamation the national flag afterthe union vf the parliaments of the two coun- tries. To unite the three crosses into a harmonious whole has been now satisfac- torily accomplished. The cross of St. George is red on a white ground, that of St. Andrew « white cross in this form, X, (called a saltire) on an azure ground, that of St. Patrick a red saltire on a white ground, and you will find each of these crosses distinetly visible on our present national banner. On English bronze money you will also find upon the shield of Brit- annia a tolerably accurate representation of the Union Jack. With regard to the name by which our national flag is known, while ** union ” seems appropriate enough, the reason why it is called a “ Jack ” is not at first apparent. It is said, however, by some to derive its name from James I. (Jacques), who united the kingdoms of England and Scotland; but this is not pro- bable. The most likely derivation is from the word jacque, applied to the jack or overcoat formerly worn by the British sol- dier, which bore the representation of cross.

THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AND THE

TORY OF THE PAST.

HISs-

Among other things for which the nine- teenth century will be noticed in the his- tory of the future is the havoc it has played with the history of the past. Its path is strewn with the wreck of the good old legends which our modern historians have so complacently demolished. It seems to be settled now that America was discovered centuries before the time of Columbus ; who, by the way, turns out not to be a Genoese, as we were all brought up to be- lieve, but a Corsican ; and a French savant now comes forward to upset the still re- ceived belief that America owes its name to Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci’s first name was not ‘* Amerigo” at all, M. Marcon assures us—in fact, no such Christian name appears to have been known in Europe in his time—but the very common one of ‘** Aberico.” It was Jean Bagin, one of the Canons of St. Die, who, by an inexplicabk:. blunder, first wrote the navigator’s prenom ‘** Amerigo,” and it was in this slip of the Canon’s pen that the received explanation of the geographical name of the New World originated. The truth is, M. Mar- con asserts, that the word ‘‘ America,” or rather ‘‘Amerrica,” is of Indian origin. It is to be found, he tells us, in the vocabul- ary of more than one of the native dialects of Central America,fand signifies the ‘‘coun- try of the winds”—a most appropriate name, too, he might have added, for the continent which sends ns all our storms.

+Qneof the tribes of the Indians is known

as the ‘‘Amerricas” to this day, and M. Marcon is probably right in contending that the name dates from centuries before Vespucci’s time. —St James's Gazette. ’ > a Sept. 4, 1888.

They Talked of Other Things.

“* Yes,” said he, “‘ life is so lonely.”

** It is lonely, sometimes,” she answered,

** Wouldn’t it be sweet to have a little cottage covered withivy and honeysuckle and rose bushes ?”

** Oh ! wouldn’t it !”

** And when a fellow comes home tired from business to have a nice little wife meet him at the door with a kiss,”

* ¥-o4."

** And then the summer nights, the win- dows open, the sunset just giving light enorgh in the cosy parlor, and—you—I mean a wife atthe piano, singing in the gloaming. It would be lovely.’

‘* [think —it—would—be—nice.”

** And then—” :

At this ‘point a car2-worn woman came around the corner with a pair of twins in a perambulator. A dead silence fell upon the summer air fora while. Then they changed the subject.
