he Logend of Loch Uisk. BY THE MARQUIS OF LORNE. Yon vale among the mountains, So sheltered from the sea, That lake that lies so lonely, Shall tell their tale to thee; Here stood a stately convent Where new the waters sleep; Here rose a sweeter music Than comes from under <eep. Above the holy building The summer cloud would rest, To listen to the echoes Of hymns to God addressed; For the hills took up the chanting, And from the emerald wall The sounds they loved would, lmgering, In fainter accents fall.

Hard by, beside a streamlet Fast flowing from a weil,

A nun in long past ages Had built her sainted cell.

To her in dreams ’twas given, As sacred task and charge,

- To keep as first she found it,

The bright spring’s mossy marge.

‘*Peace shall, with joys attendant. For ever here abide,

While reverently and faithfully Ye guard its tideless tide.”

And when she knew her spirit Was summoned to its rest, To all around her gathered She gave that high behest; And many followed after To seek the life she chose, Till, like a flower, in glory The cloistered convent rose.

Fulimany a gorgeous summer Woke heather in the bloom, And oft cold stars in winter Looked on a sister's tomb, Before the joy had withered That virtue once had nursed ; Before their Lord and Master} Grew love for things accursed. Lo! then the stream, neglected, Forsook its wonted way ; In stagnant pools, dark-tainted, Its wandering water lay, Where choked by moorland ridges, Black with growth of peat,f Beneath the quaking surface The fetid floods would meet, Till rising, spreading over, Above the chalice green Of that fair well, they covered The place where it had been.

And near the careless convent, Within the hill’s deep shade, ° The fate that works in silence A lake had slowly made. As evil knows no halting When passions strongly flow, So year by year did deeper These threatening waters grow ; Til on an awful midnight, When through the windows flamed Bright lamps, and songs unholy The vesper hour had shamed. And wanton sin dishonored The time Christ's birth had crowned, They burst their banks in darkness, And with their raging sound The rocks of all the valley Rang for a few hours space— Then this wide loch at morning Reflected heaven’s face.

No voice is ever heard there— Around the wild deer feed, And winds sigh loud in autumn

Through copse and rush and reed. Men say, in nights of darkness

They pass the water's verge, And hear, ’mid sounds of revel,

The ‘‘Miserere’s” dirge ; That faintly, et ever,

Upon the loch’s dark breast, Beneath, above, around it,

Shine lights that will not rest. Of all such ghastly phantoms,

Bred of the night and fear, By hope of our salvation,

None meet the daylight clear.

Interesting from the United King- dom andthe East.

On Tuesday, 6th inst., Windsor Castle was the scene of an interesting ceremony. The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Beat- rice, and a brilliant suite, with bands of music playing, and after solemn prayer,

PRESENTED COLORS to- the officers the of 2nd Battalion of jthe King’s Own Reyal Regiment, commanded by Colonel Bray, C. B., the battalion pre- senting arms. The Queen made the follow- ing little speech :—

On the eve of your embarkation I have summoned you here to present you with these new colors in the place of those on which you have recently inscribed a new battle scroll. Although I earnestly trust that order may be restored before you ar- rive in the colonies to which you are bound, [ know that should it be required of you, you will fearlessly do your duty against the disturbers of peace in South Africa, even as your brave comrades are so nobly and victoriously maintaining their reputation and upholding the honor of the Empire én my Indian frontier. Confident that I may at alltimes rely on on your zeal and devo- tion in my service, and that you will emu- late the deeds of your predecessors who for 200 years have been distinguished in the annals of their country, I deliver these colors to the charge of the King’s Own.

Colonel Bray made the reply :—

Soldiers of the iXing’s Own,—Her Ma- jesty the Queen lias been pleased io confer upon this regiment the very high and dis- tinguished honor of presenting to it new colors onthe eve of our embarkation for active service in the field. This old regi- ment has fought the battles of England in every part of the world for 200 years, and has carried the Royal colors through many campaigns and hard-fought and glorious battles. In the page of its history will now be recorded the distingushed honor which has been conferred on the King’s Own by the Queen of England. I call upon the soldiers of the King’s Own to carry these bright colors through the ranks of the Queen’s enemies, wherever and whenever they may dare to bar our way. Your Ma- jesty the honor you have conferred upon us will be returned by the devotion with which the King’s Own will lay down their lives for your Majesty and your Royal House. [I would impress upon these soldiers to be bold and valiant, but always gentle and compassionate. ‘The colors presented by the greatest Lady in-the land will never be sullied by cruelty or barbarity, but al- ways carried with the knightly valor of true soldiers by the King’s Own Royals.

Tae usual interesting ceremonies followed.

Lord Lorne and the Truckman’s Wheel.

The Ottawa Free Press says : Col. MeNeil left for Quebec, en route for England, last night. Before leaving he gave the follow- ing interesting version of how His Excel- lency put on the wheel of Mr. Slinn’s ve. hicle : His Excellency, Her Royal High- ness, Lady Sophia McNamara and Col. McNeil had been out walking and had reached the Rideau Bridge, when Mr. Slinn came along with a load of flour on his ve- hicle. The lynch-pin dropped out and the wheel dropped off. Mr. Slinn was in great distress, and, seeing two men come along asked them to “give him a hand.” Col. McNeil remarked to His Excellency, ‘* Let’s do it for a joke,” and, entering into the sport of thing, His Excellency consent- ed, and ali hands were atit with might and main. Nor was it avery light matter to lift a vehicle laden with flour. While His Excellency and Col. McNeil thus exerted themselves, the ladies stood by and laughed heartily at their efforts. After they had finished, Mr. Slinn said, “I cannot give you anything else, but I thank you.” ‘*You ought to give a good deal for that,” replied Col. McNeil ; ‘‘ it was the Governor Gen- eral who put on your wheel.” Mr. Slinn was thunderstruck, and tried to mutter out something, but Col. McNeil helped him out of his difficulty by introducing him to His Excellency, when the party walked off. This is an incident that will not sood be forgotten.
