interments. The commander of the guard delivered an eloquent oration, and a volley from two hundred muskets awoke the echoes of the great city of the dead. Then all went home, most of them asking, "Who was this Bernard, though?"

For a whole year, a young female, with an infant child, was seen to kneel weekly on this spot.

She is not to be seen there now. She has married again, two months since, bringing the pension which her first husband earned for her, as her dowry to her second.

Such is the story of Bernard, the decoré. It is a sad but a true In every point of view, he died in good time.

one.

FANNY WELSH AND HER FAITHFUL NEPTUNE.

"DON'T, father; do let faithful Neptune go with us. He will be so much company on board the ship, and so little trouble. I'll give you every sixpence that I have been gathering to help to pay any expense he may be for his passage, and never grudge the outlay. It will grieve me for many a day to come, if ye destroy your old and trusty servant."

It was in this way that Fanny Welsh, a little girl, the youngest daughter of a countryman of the principality, pleaded in behalf of their household dog, a most sagacious Newfoundlander, on her learning that it was decided the animal should be put to death immediately preceding the embarkation of the rustic family for a foreign shore.

William Welsh, and his father before him, had farmed a considerable tract of land in North Wales, and like most of the natives of that part of Great Britain, was deeply attached to the place of his birth. The lease by which the worthy man held the farm had, however, at length expired, when not only did the proprietor ask an exorbitant rent for it, vastly greater by comparison than had previously been paid, but an offer of the amount stated was made by an adventurer from a distant part of the kingdom; the sum thus offered, in the judgment of all who were acquainted with the capabilities of the soil, appearing to be out of all reason. Much to the regret of William Welsh and every one of his family, which was numerous, he could not compete with the rash stranger, and had to submit to the removal from the endeared spot. He had in the course of his lease saved a little money; just so much indeed, after taking him and his children out to Canada, as gave him the prospect of settling as a small farmer in that colony,-supposing that he husbanded his means in the most economical manner. According to this economical view, it was determined not to take with him across the seas his dog, a sagacious animal, and a great favourite, but now well advanced in years; every one of the number acquiescing in the resolution as a matter of propriety, if not of obvious necessity, with the exception of little Fanny, a girl of some ten years of age, whose affections towards the faithful brute went beyond all pecuniary considerations.

"I think it will break my heart, father, if you put poor Neptune to death," said the weeping girl, as she saw her parent preparing to carry the dog's sentence into execution, viz., that of having him expeditiously drowned. "Oh! spare him, spare him-and when I grow big and able to earn wages, I'll serve you without asking any until you say that I have made up for all that the noble creature has cost you in taking him to our new home."

"Fanny, my dear, it must not be as you would have it with poor Neptune," answered the father "although it pleases me to hear you talk and plead as you have done. The faithful creature, you know, is getting old; it cannot be very long before it will be an act of kindness to him to put an end to his days, unless he should happen to die suddenly of some natural death. In fact, I think it would be cruel rather than otherwise to take him to America with us, even although the expense of his passage were left out of view; a thing, however, which I cannot overlook when considering our straightened circumstances and my duty to my children, you yourself amongst the rest, Fanny. Neptune is not like one of us, for whom there is another world and an after life. He has not an account to give of deeds done on earth. He dies and perishes for ever; and if that death be dealt him from proper motives, as a matter of prudence, and with sparing him all needless alarm and pain, no wrong is done the poor brute. They say drowning is the easiest of deaths; and I'll just take him out to the lake, and having fastened a cloth around his neck with a stone in it, fling him from the top of one of the rocks at the side of the water, and he'll be dead in a few seconds."

Fanny was obliged to yield, and to silence her objections; and this the more readily on her father's quoting some lines from his favourite

poet, Cowper, a copy of whose works he possessed; where that instructive and charming writer speaks of a needful act, incurring no blame, but that he would not enter amongst his list of friends the man that wantonly sets foot upon the meanest worm.

William Welsh proceeded to the fulfilment of his purpose with his dog, this being immediately before his departure from his old farm with such of his goods and family as were to accompany him to the new world. It was as a work of painful necessity that he set about the matter; forcing himself to it by an effort of the will, rather than delegating the business, from a wish to save his own feelings, to any other person, who might, after all, bungle it, and cause the dumb brute needless suffering. With a heavy heart the worthy man set forth towards the lake; Neptune, according to his wont, being fain to go along with him, and showing his feelings on the occasion, by scampering away in advance of his master with a pioneering zeal.

"Poor brute!" said William Welsh to himself, on seeing the confiding animal conduct himself in his accustomed way, "thou hast no notion of what is awaiting thee at my hands which have never misused thee; and as little canst thou ever know how it vexes me to put an end to thee. But it is only one of many griefs which I have at this crisis to bear. Indeed, were it not but one of my trials, and after all not by any means the chief of them, I should not be able to keep the stout heart for the painful performance that I actually have."

The grave soliloquist had now reached the side of the small lake that lay amid the uplands of his late farm, and Neptune has stretched himself at his master's feet, as that master for a few seconds ruminates upon the thing that is to be done, considering too of the precise spot into which to fling the animal. And now he has stooped to tie the piece of stuff around the dog's neck, having placed within the sort of bag formed by the pendant part of the cloth a fitting weight of stone; Neptune all the while kindly licking the worthy man's hands, as if in return for some understood piece of extraordinary tenderness of treat. ment. But what remains must be hurriedly accomplished, forbidding any waste of flattery or fawning. Strength is put to the needful work; Neptune and the appendages to his neck are speedily lifted up, and as quickly tossed into the watery element at the foot of the little eminence upon which the farmer has taken his stand, and who has wheeled round the instant he was delivered of his charge, even before the dog has well reached the surface of the lake. He has wheeled round, and hurries away from the brink that he may not be near the scene of the painful operation to which he has forced himself, yet consoled with the idea that the animal's work was done for ever, and that very brief would be its sufferings. He hurries away, and is pleased to see that little Fanny has had an eye after him, for she is running to meet her father, and to learn how it has fared with him and the dog.

THERE BE NONE OF BEAUTY'S DAUGHTERS !-At a reunion, held in one of the rural palaces of our nobility, a young nobleman very happily applied those charming lines of Lord Byron

"There be none of Beauty's daughters

With a magic like thee!"

to one of the loveliest of her sex, who had long been the "cynosure of neighbouring eyes." But the sequel has to be told. The young lady, with very becoming candour, remarked that if the sex only knew the extent of their obligations to Rowland's Macassar Oil, the exquisite Kalydor, and the Odonto, (that most pearly of pearl dentifrices) they would be much more sedulous to promote the interests of their inventors. This is one of the most delicate exhibitions of feminine gratitude on record.

A carpenter having neglected to make a gibbet (which was ordered by the executioner), on the ground that he had not been paid for the last that he had erected, gave so much offence, that the next time the judge came the circuit he was sent for. "Fellow (said the judge, in a stern tone), how came you to neglect making the gibbet that was ordered on my account?" "I humbly beg your pardon," said the carpenter," had I known it had been for your lordship, it should have been done immediately."

In a storm at sea, when the sailors were all at prayers, expecting every moment to go to the bottom, a passenger appeared quite unconcerned. The captain asked him how he could be so much at his ease in this awful situation. "Sir," says the passenger, " my life's insured."

REVIEW.

The Royal Sisters; or, Pictures of a Court. By Mrs. Robert Cartwright. London: Hope & Co.

THE authoress has chosen the form of an autobiography, which purports to be that of the Countess von Brunnersdorf, and the reminiscences it conveys are those of a century past. Fact and fiction are woven together in such a manner as to bring the customs and habits of royalty, in days gone by, into comparison with those of the present day, whether for the purpose of marking their contrast or of pointing out their similarity, may be judged from the description of the antecedents and the results of

A ROYAL MARRIAGE.

“A cousin of our Empress is travelling on one of those exploratory journeys which young men of his rank usually take before committing themselves to matrimony. Our court takes an interest in the affair, as he is in the direct succession to the throne; and it is not without reason that his highness seems prepared to prolong his stay at XI have the honour to be entrusted with so much of his highness's secrets; and, as the Duke's family is one of the most esteemed, if not the most powerful, in Germany, it would be acceptable in Russia, were he to find a princess of this ducal house sufficiently to his taste to induce him to choose her.......So we went on for some time, until our quiet lives were broken in upon by the rumour that a great event was to be officially communicated a letter from the Duke himself, at the same time, confidentially informing me of the fact, beyond all manner of doubt. This event, alas! was no other than the public announcement of the future marriage of Thekla to Prince Peter; which, though now first proclaimed to the world at large, was not to take place immediately. The mysterious Countess Donnersberg, as if influenced by this intelligence, suddenly left the Residency; Prince Peter, himself, though abounding in love (court love), qui ted us at -the same time, not to return, it was reported, before six months, when he would come, in person, to claim his illustrious bride. At this same moment, the whole court was astonished by an instance of the remarkable way in which one idea leads to another. Two elderly turtle-doves, immediately on hearing of the betrothment of the Princess Thekla officially announced, made an almost equally formal declaration of their own similar intentions.......Will Thekla be happy in that family? Is the temper of her future mother-in-law as severe as is reported? Haughty and imperious, her pride will always support her daughter-in-law in public, but it will not be smooth work in private. After all, they may not live much together; and forms go far to satisfy the requirements of royal minds, as I very well know. Yes but then I fear there is not much to fall back upon in the character of her husband. Prince Peter has been very dissipated-he is now far quieter than he used to be; but if he is more regle in his conduct, it is not from principle. He is now much struck with, and really attached to the princess; he is certainly on his good behaviour. It seems to me like an impossibility that, after having once loved so amiable a creature as Princess Thekla, he should ever love her less. She, at least, will not change, and may exercise a high influence over him......On the brilliant morning of Wednesday, the of June, 17the bells of every church of X- were heard to ring a merry peal, in announcement of a joyous event. Troops were seen moving in various directions, ultimately taking their stations at different points between the palace and the cathedral. Every house along the Haupt Strasse was decorated with the national flag, or with festoons of summer flowers, relieved by deep evergreens, freshly gathered from the forest. A triumphal arch had been erected at the entrance of the Place d'Armes, bearing the inscription, in German letters :-To Thekla, the beloved daughter of the land, God send long life and happiness.'

[ocr errors]

"At last, after a long course of this unworthy conduct, the King insisted on Thekla's presence at a grand bridal ball and supper, given at the palace in honour of the guilty Melusina-now in the height of her guilty prosperity-for the nature of the liaison between her and the King was perfectly understood on all hands; and where she was expected to shine in the splendour of the gold and jewels with which his culpable prodigality had loaded her.......It was at the bridal banquet and ball given in honour of this happy occasion, that the Queen, alleging, with truth, the state in which she was, and the advice of her physicians entirely precluding the possibility of her undergoing

31

the fatigue, declined to appear. The banquet took place with unusual magnificence; the King and his profligate courtiers (the honourable bridegroom included) drank to excess. Some one, less well informed, or actuated by a spirit of greater politeness than the rest, had just expressed a regret that her Majesty was not able to be present, when Melusina, who was sitting at the King's right hand, made, sotto voce, a sneering remark to him, the purport of which might be divined from the haughty curl of the lip, the fierce eye, and flushed cheek of the vindictive woman who uttered it. Instantly the royal paramour, warm with wine, and nettled at her words, swore a Russian oath that the Queen should come, and went hastily from the saloon to enforce her attendance. He found her in a low suffering state. Enraged at her continued but mild refusals, and being in a state in which he would hear no reason and brook no control, the base villain, the cowardly ruffian, actually struck her with his fist, and felled her to the ground.......But the Queen now became, indeed, most seriously ill, and, after protracted sufferings, gave birth to a still-born son. Her own state was declared to be most dangerous. Even did she recover, there was too much reason to fear her mind might be affected.......His Majesty's consent having been obtained, he was but too well pleased at being released from the presence of his sick wife; the patient, suffering Thekla was conveyed by two short-day stages to a castle on the seacoast, which had been a favourite dwelling of the late sovereign, but which was not to the taste of the present ruler.......Here, in those thoughtful and melancholy moods, now habitual with her, would she linger for hours in silence, listening to the solemn monotony of the rolling surges; here could she admire the placid surface of the vast expanse, gilded with sunshine, and spotted with the white sails of the busy traders which ploughed its bosom; or, when the wind arose, and the crested billows chased each other to the bold and rugged shore, she could find pleasure in viewing the awful grandeur of an angry, raging sea; whilst the forked lightning played around the castle, amid the wild music of the thunder and the waves. Thekla knew her life was ebbing fast; she hailed the nearer presence of the Omnipotent in each of His wondrous works. She rejoiced in the cheerful morning; she bowed in reverence before the stormy noon; she followed with intense interest the sun in his decline, as an emblem of her own fast-fading earthly career, and she prayed, like him, to set in glory!......I was at Brunnersdorff the day I received the summons, in King Peter's own handwriting, Come without delay, if you would see Thekla alive.' You may imagine I lost not a moment in obeying the summons.... My journey to Swas rapid as a dream, from which I awoke to the bitter consciousness that it was all in vain I had undertaken it....... They had removed her body from the old Castle of Kronberg, where she had breathed her last, to the palace at S. There it lay in state for several days, and thither was I conducted on arrival, by my own wish."

Happily, these days of regal profligacy are now gone by, and it needs such pictures as Mrs. Cartwright's to induce a belief that they ever could have existed. Of the authoress's style we need say nothing, and her previous works afford a sufficient guarantee of her fitness for the task of contrasting the habits of a past age with those of the present.

In a country playhouse, after the play was over, and most wretchedly performed, an actor came upon the stage to give out the next play. Pray," says a gentleman, "what is the name of the piece you have been playing to-night?" "The Stage-coach, sir." "Then let me know when you perform it again that I may be an outside passenger."

A clown once took a fancy to hear the Latin disputes of doctors at a university. He was asked what pleasure he could take in viewing such combatants, when he could never know so much as which of the parties had the better. "For that matter," replied the clown, "I an't such a fool neither, but I can see who's the first that puts t'other in a passion."

A sailor at the battle of Trafalgar had his leg shot off below the knee. "That's but a shilling touch," said he, alluding to the scale of pensions for wounds; "an inch higher, and I should have had my eighteenpence for it." As they were taking him away to get his leg dressed, he called to a brother tar,-" Bob, take a look for my leg, and give me the silver buckle out of my shoe; I'll do as much for you, please God, another time."

Dr. North begins a sermon on this text, "the wages of sin is death," as follows:-" Poor wages, indeed, that a man can't live by."

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.

Price 1s. 13d. and 2s. 9d. per box. THIS preparation is one of the benefits which the science of modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was considered a romance; but now, the efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that pub lic opinion proclaims this as one of the most important discoveries of the present age; and, in testimony of its efficacy, Mr. W. Burch, Chemist, West Bromwich, "Nov. 8th, 1856. Gentlemen, The enclosed testimonial was received by me from a customer residing in this town.

writes,

Yours respectfully, W. Burch.

To Messrs. Prout & Co."

Mr. Arkinstall, of the Lyng. West Bromwich, says: "I have much pleasure in bearing my testimony to the wonderful efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. Having been a great sufferer from rheumatic gout, I have upon various occasions had recourse to them, and am happy to say that however acute and distressing the pain may be, I always receive relief in an almost incredibly short time, even after taki g only one dose. If taken in the early stage of the disease they dissipate it; if later they ease the pain and cure much sooner than any other medicineI ever made use of. I would not be without them on any account.'

THE BLESSING OF HEALTH!

BY

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.

WHY ARE DISEASES FATAL?- Merely because we prescribe for their effect, instead of their cause and try to relieve symptoms instead of striking at their root. The action of these Pills is precisely the reverse. They expel from the secretive organs and the circulation the morbid matter which produces inflammation, pain, fever, debility, and physical decay; and the basis of disease being removed, its manifestations vanish. While ordinary remedies only afford a temporary respite to the sufferer, whereas these Pills annihilate the disorder. BILIOUS AND LIVER COMPLAINTS frequently lead to the worst phases of human suffering, yet how many are thus afflicted, unknowing the means of cure placed within their grasp; such should take a few boxes of these Pills according to the directions given in the books, and their ailments will quickly leave them, in short, most diseases incidental to the human frame may be quickly subdued by their use.

DROPSICAL SWELLINGS AND TURN OF LIFE.-This is a most distressing period in woman's history, it destroys thousands, the whole of the gross humours collect together, and like a tide sweep away health and life itself, if not timely and powerfully checked. The most certain remedy for all these dangerous symptoms is Holloway's is passed through, and the sufferer is once more restored Pills. Armed with this great antidote, the fiery ordeal to the possession of unimpaired health. These Pills are equally efficacious in all female complaints, and obstruc

"To Mr. Page Woodcock, Sir,-I feel it a duty I owe te su ering humanity, to forward you my humble testimony to the wonderful effects of your celebrated WIND PILLS. For 17 years I was a sufferer from Wind and a complication of disorders, scarcely enjoying a day's health during the whole time. I had heard of your Pills, but with them as with other Patent Medicines, I was very sceptical, I never would have anything to do with them; but hearing so much about them at different times, I was induced to try, and in trying found so much benefit that I persevered with them, and I now enjoy the best of health, which I attribute to your Pills. Their health-restoring power is wonderful; I cannot with language set a value on them.
