s warmer grown as your heads grow more cool, Play over the old game of going to school. All your strifes and vexations, your whims and complaints, (You were not saints yourselves, if the children of saints!) All your petty self-seekings and rivalries done, Round the dear Alma Mater your hearts beat as one! How widely soe'er you have strayed from the fold, Though your ‘thee’ has grown ‘you,’ and your drab blue and gold, To the old friendly speech and the garb's sober form, Like the heart of Argyle to the tartan, you warm. But, the first greetings over, you glance round the hall; Your hearts call the roll, but they answer not all: Through the turf green above them the dead cannot hear; Name by name, in the silence, falls sad as a tear! In love, let us trust, they were summoned so soon From the morning of life, while we toil through its noon; They were frail like ourselves, they had needs like our own, And they rest as we rest in God's mercy alone. Unchanged by our changes of spiri

W. Amesbury, 9th mo., 1874. The dream of Argyle. earthly arms no more uphold him On his prison's stony floor; Waiting death in his last slumber, Lies the doomed MacCallum More. And he dreams a dream of boyhood; Rise again his heathery hills, Sound again the hound's long baying, Cry of moor-fdy firelight fall. Once again, with pulses beating, Hears the wandering minstrel tell How Montrose on Inverary Thief-like from his mountains fell. Down the glen, beyond the castle, Where the linn's swift waters shine, Round the youthful heir of Argyle Shy feet glide and white arms twine. Fairest of the rustic dancers, Blue-eyed Effie smiles once more, Bends to him her snooded tresses, Treads with him the grassy floor. Now he hears the pipes lamenting, Harpers for his mother mourn, Slow, wit

ctures of the events succeeding. The miserable fate of Oates and Dangerfield, the perjured inventors of the Popish Plot; the trial of Baxter by the infamous Jeffreys; the ill-starred attempt of the Duke of Monmouth; the battle of Sedgemoor, and the dreadful atrocities of the king's soldiers, and the horrible perversion of justice by the king's chief judge in the Bloody Assizes; the barbarous hunting of the Scotch Dissenters by Claverhouse; the melancholy fate of the brave and noble Duke of Argyle,—are described with graphic power unknown to Smollett or Hume. Personal portraits are sketched with a bold freedom which at times startles us. The old familiar faces, as we have seen them through the dust of a century and a half, start before us with lifelike distinctness of outline and coloring. Some of them disappoint us; like the ghost of Hamlet's father, they come in a questionable shape. Thus, for instance, in his sketch of William Penn, the historian takes issue with the world on hi

The suppression of Monmouth's rebellion gave to the colony useful citizens. Men connect themselves, in the eyes of posterity, with the objects in which they take delight. James ii. was inexorable towards his brother's favorite. Monmouth was beheaded, and the triumph of legitimacy was commemorated by a medal, representing the heads of Monmouth and Argyle on an altar, their bleeding bodies beneath, with this inscription, Sic aras et scepira tuemur;—thus we defend our altars and our throne. Lord chief justice is making his campaign in the west;—I quote from a letter which James ii., with his own hand, wrote to one in Europe, in allusion to Jeffries' circuit for punishing the insurgents—he has almost done his campaign. He has already condemned several hundreds — some of whom are already executed, more are to be, and the others sent to the pl

George Campbell, minister of Cupar, and Magdalen, daughter of John Hallyberton, Esq., the head of a family possessing large landed estates in Forfarshire, Scotland, and was born at Cupar, St. Andrews, in the county of Fife, Scotland, on the 15th of September, 1781. His lineage was noble, and could be traced on his father's side to the Ducal house of Argyle. He was educated at St. Andrew's University, commencing at an early age under the tutorship of the Rev. G. Hill, of St. Mary's College. At the age of twenty he had already taken the degree of Master of Arts, and entered on the studies of the English Bar in the office of the celebrated Mr. Tidd, the majority of whose pupils have attained distinction. During the period of his probation, Campbell was employed as a writer of theatrical critiques in the London Morning Chronicle, then the o

's horse. The New Orleans Picayune says: Our readers doubtless remember the beautiful tribute to the memory of the late Major Butler, of the Eleventh Louisiana Regiment, which recently appeared in our columns, from the pen of a lady correspondent. In the letter of our correspondent allusion was made to the great affection borne the deceased by his noble horse Argyle, and in the Plaquemine Garette and Sentinel, of the 21st, we are told of a most touching instance of the affection of Argyle for his master. During the night of the day Major Butler was buried, he jumped the fence which separated him from the enclosure containing the tomb, and next morning was found standing over it in mournful attitude! We are assured of the perfect truth of this incident. Woman's Invention. The Eutaw (Alabama) Observer states that a lady of that place, being desirous of obtaining a military scarf for a relative, and not being able to buy one to suit her, cut up and carded a silk dres
