Lastly, only join the book back at two places, and so that it remains moveable. Gum on to the inside of the case a white sarsnet ribbon, three-quarters of an inch broad and six inches long, half an inch from the back, to raise the leaves, and fasten similar ones to the inside of both covers to close the Album. The size of the text-leaves must be regulated by the size of the case.

NECKLACE.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

LONG streamers of reins, commencing at the back of the neck and terminating considerably below the waist, are very popular both for morning and evening toilets. The handsomest description of lockets are now suspended on velvet instead of short, gold necklets, as formerly. We here give a design, by which any one so inclined can make an ornament of this variety at but little cost and trouble. Cut out a double heart in cardboard and cover both with crimson velvet. The upper side is adorned with an anchor worked in jet beads, which must be drawn and embroidered on the velvet before the two sides of the heart are seamed together. A small loop of crimson velvet is sewn between the hearts, and when finished, it is suspended on a long piece of crimson ribbon velvet, which is tied in long falling loops at the back of the neck.

THESE trimmings being still very fashionable, we give above a new and pretty design for one; and in the front of the number, on opposite pages, two other designs : all remarkable for the beauty and simplicity of their

manufacture. Any lady with a piece of black silk cord, and some beads and bugles, can readily follow these designs, and make a pretty trimming for her dresses at very little expense comparatively.

INFANT'S BOOT. BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. In the front of the number we give three engravings (all on the same page) representing an infant's boot ; the half of the boot, full size ; and the sole, full size. This little boot may be made of cloth, felt, or velvet, and simply bound

and stitched round, or braided. A little cord with tassels fastens it in front, and a little quilling of pinked silk may be put round the top of the boot. When completed, it is as pretty as it is economical.

A round collar of wax, removed, and some narrow pointed slips of hard either plain or ornamental, surrounds the joint, wood, will be found very useful and efficient as at F, and affords a hold for the gum. The instruments for the purpose, warming the knife flowers are of rice-paper, as in Fig. 1, and the point or needles, as occasion may require, in a little ram's-heads and the pine on the cover are cup of hot water. The handles of the vase are made from moulded wax. Vessels thus confirst made of twisted bonnet-wire with its cover- structed are admirably adapted for holding ing of thread on, as at C. These, when properly violets or other small flowers. A crocus-root, put with damp moss in one of them, shoots up and flowers charmingly. When the violets or other cut flowers are placed in them, the ends of the stems should be thrust in the orifices of a bit of fine sponge ; this, when deposited in the bottom of the vase, and saturated with water, keeps the flowers fresh for some time, doing away with the fear of the water being upset, or the ornamental work of the vase injured. Some ladies may wish to draw or paint figures or flowers on the shells. For pencil drawing no preparation is needed, but when paintings in water-colors are about being made on them the colors take better if the shells are previously washed in a little soda or potashwater, in order to remove the oily matter 膠 usually covering the surface, when, after being thoroughly cleansed in clean, cold water, and then dried, the coloring process may be proceeded with as on ordinary paper. Fig. 3 represents the position in which the egg-shell is attached to an ornamental or embossed card, after having a rustic cottage or Swiss chalet E placed in it. These so-called " fairy cot-shells," when tastefully turned out of hand, are perfect little gems, and would command eager purchase at bazaars or fancy fairs.

Cut out of pasteboard two pieces shaped as seen in design, and somewhat larger every way than the glove the case is designed for ; cover these neatly with the pink silk. Cut for the outside the white satin or silk, as the taste may suggest, and embroider the rose-buds in pink, using the green silk for the leaves.

 “Frank collected his strength―you know he is thirteen years of age―led him out on to the balcony, and Loyka looked all over the court-yard and as though he bid farewell to everything, and after he had cast his eyes in this manner upon one thing after another―buildings, court-yard, granaries, implements―, he said, ‘Welladay, what is the use of crying about it!’ Then he made a sign to Frank to lead him back into the living-room. And when Frank had led him almost into the middle of the floor, Loyka hung yet heavier upon him, and said. ‘Come off! come off!’ just as if he wanted to tear something off with his hand, and at that moment he fell down dead on the ground beside his grandchild.”

“He dropped off! he dropped off!” reiterated the neighbours, and in their eyes trembled a tear of compassion, and at the same time a sort of astonishment and excitement at the thought that he had died so suddenly.

Hereupon all that stream of neighbours and neighbours’ wives just as they were by the chapel-gate, trailed off towards Loyka’s farmstead at the other end of the village.

“At such an age people do not die, they drop off to sleep”, said one of the neighbours, and at once cited a case where something similar had occurred; there was, also, some one somewhere almost a hundred years of age, and he had died at dinner. Then again, others knew that at such an age people knew the hour of their death beforehand, and confirmed the fact by instances. These instances, however, did not suit well old Loyka’s case, because he had sent, while it was yet early morning, into the town for punch and rosolek.

And now before his farmstead they began to recount to one another his life’s history.

“It is something to say, such a great age,” observed one―it was the mayor of Frishets―“and yet last summer at harvest, he cut his own pensioner’s share of the crop, and it was thus wise: he cut along the line of reapers a portion equal to his own height; when he had cut so much, he said, ‘What availeth it, I cannot ply my sickle nowadays?’ and he laid him down at full length in the space which he had cut.”

The neighbours smiled slightly, and said, “Ah! welladay! How could he ply his sickle at all at such an age, I wonder? A hundred years!”

“One time while he lay thus,” proceeded the Mayor, once more, “I go close by him with my sickle, and I say, ‘Oh! grandfather

SADNESS. "It pains, it troubles me, Preston. With you, I would have no faults." The cloud settled heavily over his face now ; so heavily that it seemed like a spasm. "Are you hurt ? Oh ! how could I let you move ?" cried Ruby, bending over him in real sympathy. "Oh ! how pale you are, my poor, poor Preston !" Quick as thought this woman, given up for once to her impulses, bent down and pressed her beautiful lips to his forehead. She felt him shrink suddenly, and thought that some motion of hers had angered his wound. " Oh, forgive me ! I did not mean to hurt you," she pleaded, with tears in her eyes. "Everything I do seems to give pain ; and I so want to comfort you." Preston looked by her through the window with keen anxiety in his eyes. He saw the white dress of Zua Wheaton fluttering upon the terrace, but her back was toward them. "You are kind, indeed, Mrs. Gray ; you always were kind to me ; but I am not so very ill! Only chained down here, you know, with a pang darting through me now and then like a spear. This is a sort of thing that time alone can cure." "But you are lonely ; you must be sad." "Lonely, am I ? No, I rather think not. They let me read now ; then there is a queer little fellow that comes to me sometimes from the garden, the most absurdly amusing creature you ever saw ; and his sister, a strange, bright girl ; beautiful, too, in a certain way ; full of originality, and kind-hearted as a creature can be. She always wears roses in her hair ; and with such shoes- but there is nothing to laugh at in the girl. I wish you could see her and take to her, Mrs. Gray." "Mrs. Gray-this is the second time you have called me that. When you prayed to call me Ruby, did I refuse?" Moreton laughed ; but a flush of color came into his face. He made no direct answer to

her reproach, but went on about the girl, who had evidently excited his interest in no small degree. "She is affectionate as a child, brim full of romance, and ignorant of the world and its ways beyond all belief. She has a sweet voice, too, perfectly uncultivated, but with a world of power in it. I wish you could see her. " "I will, if it pleases you. Indeed, I am ready to accept or reject anything at your desire. " "That is promising too much ; but it will be a kind thing if you interest yourself about this poor girl. Her mother is a washerwoman, somewhere in the neighborhood, and her name is Clark. " I—I have "Clark- why that is the girl seen her, Preston." "Seen her! When?" "The the night you were brought here-I will not conceal it. I will conceal nothing now ; but the news reached me, and I went wild. All day I had been watching for you with such sweet hopes, such anxious longing for your presence, that at last suspense made me faint. I was like a child waiting for its mother ; like a flower asking the night for its dew. When the night fell, and you did not come, I sat down and cried ; you will not believe it, Prestonbut I did. Then it was that I heard of your fall, and where you lay suffering. My little boat lay at the foot of the hill, I got into it and came over. First I went to the washerwoman's house, where I saw the girl you speak of; then I persuaded the woman's son to bring me here. I saw you ; I was in the room with you, my darling ; I -—————” " Halloo, old boy ! well enough to see company I find. Will you let a fellow in?" The voice came from a window close by. Ruby turned her tearful face, and saw young Gray leaning half into the room, with a half smoked segar in his hand. (TO BE CONTINUED. )

SADNESS. BY S. E. EVERETT.

My heart is filled with strange unrest ; I'm sad, I know not why; This world seems all a weariness, From which I fain would fly. It is not that I envy those By fortune more caressed ; Nor is it strife with worldly foes, That brings this wild unrest.

My friends are true, the world is kind ; My wants are well supplied ; Nor can my wishes be defined, Or tell what I'm denied. Yet strange it is, my heart is sad; The days are long and drear; And oft I wish their measure had Fulfilled their courses here.

I hope not," said Moreton, glancing through the open window, where he saw Zua walking in and out among the roses. Ruby followed his glance, and grew pale as snow. He could turn his eyes toward another woman when she was by-the thought made her tremble. "It flatters me that you think so." "Flatters ! Oh, sir ! who would dare to flatter "You-you are pale ; you are changed," she said, with a quiver of pain in her voice. you?" Wheaton laughed.

She went up to the bed on which the young man lay, and placed both her hands in that he held out to her. He felt the little hands tremble through the gloves, and was touched by her emotion.

At last he spoke, "If it displeases you, of course I will not do it. "

 help us in God’s name.’ Loyka perceived that I was smiling and said, ‘Lazy body! lie no longer, up! up! and work thou also!’ Then he rose and set himself to cut the corn, I meanwhile sat beside him near the boundary-stone, and waited till he had once more finished cutting his own small portion. When he had finished it, he again lay down.”

“And why could not his son, the present proprietor, cut it for him?” inquired some, though, indeed, they knew why this was not done, because they had already asked the same question several times at least, both in the present and the past.

“He could and he could not,” answered the mayor again, “of course you understand―he was a pensioner of the son’s bounty. ’Tis seldom a son gives the father anything who is once pensioned off.”

As soon as this sentence was pronounced it was again evident that Vena was present. He stood by the farmstead, considering what to do with the rosolek, now that no one was willing to drink it. But as soon as he heard about the son and the pensioner on his bounty, he seemed all at once to be beside himself. “A murrain upon you every morning, ye peasant proprietors, who do not know what to do with your father when he is pensioned off. Only let me have power in my hands for half a day, I would drive you round the circle, I can tell you! Every one of you should be pensioned off at once for two years at least. A son cannot have a korets of land reaped for his father, because the father is pensioned off; blast all such sons, say I.”

“’Tis a poor fool, and yet he hath right on his side,” said some of his neighbours, “but he is touched here.” Others again said, “How, then, dare you say this, Vena, are you not a dependent on Loyka’s farm?” To this Vena replied very indignantly, “If I am on Loyka’s farm, I work for myself, I have no need of any one to work for me. Also I speak for myself, I have no need that any one should speak for me.”

Here the mayor again interposed: “Well! well! old people are sometimes rather laughable; in their time everything was quite different, you know. While Loyka lay on the rye which he had cut, he said: ‘Nowadays, my good gossip, there are not such winters as they used to be. In my young day, the sparrows fell from the eaves and partridges and hares were frozen like clods of earth. More than once we thought it was the cat serattling at the door, and lo! it was a hare. Did you ever hear the like of that?’ On this I say to him, ‘Oh! grandfather, one summer you

NECK - TYE.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. THE materials are a skein of crochet silk of any color ; bone crochet-hook, No. 18, bell gauge. Make a chain of six stitches, close in the form of a ring, and crochet always in double stitch every row the same until the tye is sufficiently long. The tassels, at both ends, are of silk, the separate ends of which are untwisted, so as to appear fine, smooth, and bushy. The tassels are made in the usual manner ; the loose threads are bound together, and the second binding is made about a quarter of an inch below the first to form the head of the tassel. Then draw a thread up firmly from the second binding to the head of the tassel, so that a kind of puff is formed under it. This, of course, must be very neatly done.

INSERTION.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. Begin with the middle pattern, and crochet rows forward and backward crosswise. Make a chain of 10 stitches, and work upon this for the 1st row: 3 chain for the first treble, then 3 times alternately 1 chain and 1 treble, and with each chain pass over 1 stitch of the first chain, then 3 chain ; with these pass over 1 stitch. The last 3 stitches of the first chain are to divide 7 treble. 1 2nd row: 3 chain for the first treble, then 3 times alternately 1 chain and 1 treble in the 2 upper threads of the second, fourth, and sixth treble of the preceding row; 3 chain and 7 treble in the hole of the scallop formed of 3 chain, which finish this row. Repeat the second row until the work is long enough ; then THE materials are a steel crochet-hook and work the straight border on each side, 7 chain, white cotton ; and the pattern is a very pretty 1 single into the corner stitch of each leaf; one for trimming petticoats, drawers, bodices, then a row of 1 chain and 1 treble, passing etc. over 1 stitch of previous row.

PIN- CUSHION.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. In the front of the number, we give an engraving of a very pretty Pin-Cushion, which is to be made in applique and Cluny lace. Make the cushion any size you like. Cover it with bright-blue silk on both sides. Place the Cluny insertion across the cushion, as seen in the design : then out of black velvet cut the four trefoil pieces; place them as designed, sewing

them on with white embroidery silk in buttonhole stitch ; the little braiding pattern is done in white silk embroidery braid. For the border, use blue taffeta ribbon one inch in width, edged on both sides with a very narrow Cluny edging ; quill in box-quills, and put round the cushion. Imitation Cluny is quite good enough for this kind of work.

 NETTED

OPERA - HOOD.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

THE materials for this useful and pretty hood are two ounces of white, half an ounce of colored, Berlin wool ; a netting- needle ; meshes of two sizes. Begin in the middle with white wool. Put on sixtyfour stitches, and net forward and backward. At the end of each row or line, leave the last stitch of the preceding row without netting, until the number is reduced to one stitch, which finishes half of the hood. Then tie the thread on to the other side of the stitches put on at the commencement, and work as before, until the number of stitches on that side is also reduced to one, which completes the foundation. The border is worked all round the outer edge with white wool. For the 1st row: Net one stitch in each stitch round the hood. 2nd row: Net 5 stitches in one stitch, and pass over the next stitch.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. In the front of the number, we give three engravings of a new and elegant Dressing-Case for travelers : one is the Dressing-Case open ; another is the Dressing-Case closed ; and the third is the pattern to be worked. The materials are American toile ciree ; six each large and small pearl buttons ; two yards of narrow black elastic ; two yards of black sarsnet ribbon three-quarters of an inch wide ;

one skein of lilac, and one skein of green crochet silk ; six yards of binding. The outside of this Dressing-Case is made of American cloth ; it is 21 inches long and 11 inches broad ; the lining, of toile ciree, of which the green side is shown, is exactly the same size ; the pockets, of American cloth, at the ends, are of the entire width of the case, and 5 inches in depth ; at the outer sides of these 69

ORIENTAL designs are now all the rage in Paris and London. One sees them in carpets , rugs, shawls, everything. Some are called Persian, and some Turkish ; and they are noted for the exquisite harmony of their colors. Of the two, the former are the more brilliant, and often, indeed, seem almost too glaring. We give above an engraving of a Turkish TobaccoPouch. It is made of colored cashmere, orna-

mented with stars and crescents of a contrasting color, appliqued and worked at the edges with silk of a bright color. After the four separate parts are joined together, a narrow black velvet is placed over the seams, worked over with bright-colored silk, according to our design. White kid, or chamois leather, is generally used for lining these bags. Ribbon-strings, and a tassel are needed to finish this bag. 75

 EDITOR'S

EDITORIAL CHIT- CHAT. "PETERSON" FOR 1867. THE MAGAZINE FOR THE TIMES.We call attention to the Prospectus for 1867 to be found on our cover. We claim, there, that " Peterson" is cheaper than any other magazine of its kind, and, therefore, the Magazine, above all others, for the times. The proof of this may be established, not only by a comparison with other magazines- which we challenge-but also by the fact that "Peterson" has now, and has had for years, the largest circulation of any ladies' periodical in the United States, or even in the world. The fashion department is admitted, by all conversant with such matters, to excel that of any cotemporary. The arrangements for "Peterson" are such that all patterns are received in advance. The principal editor was in Europe, all last year, making arrangements to this end. Other magazines continually publish fashions as new which we have published months before. The latest Paris, London, Philadelphia, and New York fashions are faithfully reported: " Peterson" never descends to a merely advertising medium for this or that dealer in millinery, cloaks, etc., etc., as some other magazines do. More attention than ever will be paid, in 1867, to the literary department. The original stories in " Peterson" have been considered, for years, superior to those to be found in other ladies' magazines. While retaining the best of our contributors, all new writers of acknowledged ability are added, thus keeping " Peterson" always fresh. The cheapness of this Magazine is a point to which we wish particularly to direct attention. Everything that is to be had in a three dollar magazine can be had here for two dollars, and much of it, as the newspaper press universally declares, of a higher quality than elsewhere. Now is the time to get up clubs ! Everybody will subscribe for " Peterson," if its claims are fully presented, unless a promise has been given to take some other magazine. Be, therefore, the first in the field. A specimen will be sent, gratis, if written for, to show to acquaintances, so that you need not injure your own copy. Don't lose a moment! BOOKS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. -We have received from J. S. Claxton & Co., No. 1226 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, several very nice books for young people. Among them are " The Prairie Crusoe," a capital story for boys; " Haste and Waste," a tale of a young pilot on Lake Champlain; and "Hope and Have," a narrative of a young girl captured by the Indians. The last two are by Oliver Optic. Lee & Shepard, of Boston, are the publishers.

TABLE. "CATCHING COLD."-There is at this season an almost universal tendency to " catch cold." This conventional expression signifies nothing less than inflammation of the mucous membrane which lines the nostrils, and extends throughout the respiratory organs to the most minute bronchial passages. The least current of cold air striking upon the neck or throat; the slightest exposure to a cold atmosphere ; a draught of air from an open door or window ; standing upon a damp floor, any one of these, to say nothing of graver causes, is often sufficient to provoke the dreaded complaint. And if it now be treated with stimulants, as is the custom by people who doctor themselves, the disease will, probably, extend down the windpipe to the lungs, producing " cold in the chest," accompanied with a cough, and a disease is provoked which frequently has a fatal ending. Tuberculous deposite upon the lungs is most frequently the result of a " cold ;" and this is commonly caught from an improper condition of the body, brought on by carelessness. The direct cause of " catching cold," very often lies in the want of proper bathing of the skin. The want of bodily ablution, generally, gives a relaxed fibre, and produces a tendency in the skin to be acted upon by the slightest atmospheric changes. There are, perhaps, a few exceptions to this, but not many. Excessive clothing may be dispensed with, if there is a daily ablution of the body, and plenty of friction thereafter applied to the skin. After a warm bath, upon rising in the morning, the skin is in a condition to encounter atmospheric changes, and even the effects of bad weather, without any cold being taken. There are two convenient methods of applying water to the body immediately on rising : by means of the sponge, and by the shower-bath. The first is effected by sponging the body with water, either cold or tepid, according to the temperament and state of health. The process by the shower-bath is known to all-but the sponge is best. After leaving the bath, the skin must be well rubbed with coarse, warm towels to produce a reaction. The temperature of a bed-room should never be allowed to become damp. A dressing-room, even when the sleeping-room is made to do a double purpose, should always be partially heated, to maintain a proper temperature for the purposes of the toilet. Feather-beds are objectionable, not only on account of their giving out animal matter from the feathers, but that they absorb and retain that which exhales from the body. If these hints are adopted, our readers will find themselves less liable every day, no matter what the weather, to " catch cold;" and besides the beauty and suppleness bathing produces in the skin, it brings back the bloom of youth to those from whom it has departed, or is fast departing.

OUR COLORED PATTERN -We publish, in this number, as a sort of Christmas gift to our subscribers, a double-sized colored pattern. It is a design, as will be seen, for a Banner-Screen; and is one of the handsomest we have ever had. The pattern is so complete that it needs no descrip"THE KING'S RING" is a beautiful little quarto, with tion.

 REVIEW

OF

THE BEST WAY TO REMIT is by a post office order ; the next best by a draft ; and the next, by greenbacks, or the notes of any solvent banks. Only, in remitting, let nobody, if you can help it, into the secret; the fewer that know it, the more certainty there is of your money coming to hand.

" THE CHILDREN'S HOME" is the title of a new Magazine for juveniles, which is to be published by T. S. Arthur, of this city. Mr. Arthur is particularly qualified for such an enterprise. The price of the periodical will be $1.25 a year, or five copies for $5.00. Office, No. 323 Walnut street, Philadelphia.

ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE BEST. -Says the Sandwich (I ) Gazette :-" Peterson's Magazine is acknowledged to be the best for ladies. We cannot see how any lady, who has ever looked over it, can consent to do without it." And we could quote hundreds of similar notices. " AU REVOIR.” —This fine engraving is from a picture by Carl Becker, one of the first living artists of Germany. We are indebted for it, as for " The Lullaby," to the famous gallery imported by Bailey & Brothers, of Philadelphia. " A MUCH BETTER MAGAZINE is Peterson's," says the Lancaster (Mo.) Excelsior, " than others, and at one-third less price, which is quite an item of itself." "THE LULLABY" is engraved from a picture painted by one ofthe most eminent of modern artists.

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. The Authorship of Shakspeare. By Nathaniel Holmes. 1 rol., 12 mo. New York : Hurd & Houghton.-This is an attempt to substantiate the theory of the late Delia Bacon, that the plays, attributed to Shakspeare, were not written by him, but by some other person. The argument, put in few words, is this. From what we know of Shakspeare, he had but little education, and was, therefore, incompetent to produce themoney, plays insoquestion He seems have cared only to make that he might set uptofor a gentleman in his native town ; he had none of the " noble scorn ofpelf" which belongs to true genius. It is more probable that the plays were the work of some other person who had reasons for not acknowledging them ; and that Shakspeare, as part owner of a theatre, was persuaded to copy them, to put them on the stage, and to let them be considered his. Of all the men of that day, young Francis Bacon, afterward known erroneously as Lord Bacon, for his real title was Lord Verulam, was the one most likely to have been the author of the dramas; for he not only was a poet, but he had, also, the multiform knowledge which the dramas display, and which no mere wool-stapler's son could, in that age, have acquired. Moreover, for twentyfive years after coming to the bar, Bacon had very little practice, and consequently a great deal of leisure. Lord Southampton, the friend of Shakspeare, was also Bacon's friend, and, it is suggested, was the go-between in this transaction. The argument, it will be seen, is a chain of mere probabilities. Destroy one of these links, and the whole is worthless. Now there is hardly one of the probabilities adduced in favor of Bacon, that is not stronger in behalf of Shakspeare. We have not the space to notice them all; we must content ourselves with only one. It is said that a man of the greatest genius, such as the world has held Shakspeare to be, could not have the vulgar love

77

of money which Shakspeare confessedly had. Yet Bacon himself loved it quite as much, and owed his fall to that weakness. Scott, also, the next greatest name, perhaps, in English literature, loved money and position, and wrote, mainly to make money, and not simply for fame. We fancy, too, that Dickens, as well as other less famous writers of our own time, would do very little work, if they won reputation only. The truth is, people, who talk like Delia Bacon did on this subject, hardly understand human nature. Quite as absurd is the attempt to impeach the fidelity of the bust at Stratford. Hawthorne considered it to be a genuine, though rude, likeness. So did Chantrey, the sculptor, who believed it to have been taken from a mask. We have seen the bust ourselves and coincide in these opinions. It is the head and face of a man with great intel lectual powers, ideality being especially noticeable, but with animal propensities equally decided. Now nobody could have written the Shaksperian dramas who was not "of the earth, earthy," as well as, in other moods, pure almost to heavenliness. Ordinary thinkers will not understand that it is this union in the same person of such opposite qualities which makes the great genius ; and hence the cant that the bust cannot be reliable, because it makes the " divine Shakspeare" look as if he was fond of good ale, which he undoubtedly was. It is inconceivable that a man of mature years, as Mr. Holmes appears to be, should be led away by such a fallacy. And his arguments, in other respects, are no better. Beethoven's Letters. Translated by Lady Wallace. 2 vols , 12 mo. New York: Hurd & Houghton.-We cannot praise too highly the manner in which this house brings out its books. Type, paper, and binding, are all in the best taste. It is a real pleasure to have such volumes in one's library. Nor are the works, which Hurd & Houghton print, ever deficient in literary qualities. The present publication, as an example, is one of very great interest; it lets the reader into the heart of Beethoven, so to speak, as no mere biography ever can. A portrait and fac-simile of the great composer embellish the volames. Poems of Jean Ingelow. Illustrated. 1 vol., small 4 to. Boston: Roberts Brothers.- This is really one of the most elegant volumes ever issued from the press. It contains one hundred illustrations, from designs by Pinwell, Poynter, North, Houghton, Wolf, Dalziel, and others ; is printed on the finest paper; and is bound in cloth, new style, full gilt, beveled, and paneled. Of all the books, published this season, it is the most suitable for a Christinas, or NewYear's gift. The volume contains, we believe, all the poems of Miss Ingelow, as yet given to the public. The National Cook-Book. By a Lady of Philadelphia. 1 vol., 12 mo. Philada : T. B. Peterson & Brothers.- This is really one of the best cook-books we have ever examined. It contains five hundred and seventy-eight new receipts, never before published, all comparatively economical, and every one of which the compiler, a practical housewife, tested. Most cook-books are too extravagant for ordinary families. This is just the one for every-day use. The volume is printed in large type on clear white paper. A First Latin Reading Book. By William Smith, LL. D. 1 vol., 12 mo. New York: Harper & Brothers.-This contains an epitome of Cæsar's " Gallic Wars," and Lhomond's " Lives of Distinguished Romans;" with a short introduction to Roman Antiquities ; Notes, and a Dictionary. The work has been edited, in this country, by Henry Drisler, LL. D., of Columbia College, New York. An American Family in Germany. By J. Ross Browne. Iliustrated by the author. 1 rol., 12 mo. New York: Harper & Brothers.-A very entertaining book, both pictorially and otherwise. The descriptions of life in Germany are not only graphic, but accurate also ; and much valuable information underlies the sparkling surface of humor.

FIRESIDE AMUSEMENTS .- FAMILY PASTIMES.

The Great Rebellim. By John Minor Botts. 1 vol., 12 mo. New York: Harper & Brothers.- The author of this work, a prominent politician of Virginia, took the side of the Union, during the late war, and now narrates what he calls the secret history, rise, progress, and failure of secession. He also vindicates his own political career. The book will be perused, with great interest, by numerous readers. Jennie June's American Cookery-Book. 1 vol., 12 mo. New York: American News Company.- Nearly all the receipts in this book have been tested by the author, Mrs. J. C. Croly, popularly known to the literary world, and to thousands of readers, as Jennie June. It is really an excellent work of its kind. Our Artist in Peru. By G. W. Carleton. 1 vol., 12 mo. New York: Carleton. This is an elegant little volume, with fifty humorous engravings, from drawings by Mr. Carleton himself. It is not often that a man is both artist and publisher: and it is even rarer to find him excel, as Mr. Carloton does, in both capacities. Martyria; or, Andersonville Prison. By A. C. Hamlin. Illustrated by the author. 1 vol., 12 mo. Boston: Lee & Shepard. This is a sad, sad story, yet one which, for the truth of history, required to be told. Let us hope that no such tale will ever have to be rehearsed again. The volume is very handsomely printed. Saratoga. An Indian Tale of Frontier Life. 1 vol., 12 mo. Philada: T. B.

the means before described, in order to finish your feat cleverly, convey the card, privately, to the top of the pack; get all the other cards even with each other, but let the edge of your top card project a little over the rest ; hold them between your finger and thumb, about two feet from the table, let them drop, and the top card (which must be, as we have said, the one drawn) will fall with its face uppermost, and all the rest with their faces toward the table. TO TELL THE NAME OF A CARD THOUGHT OF.- Desire any person to draw seven or eight cards from the pack, and think of any one ofthem. When he returns them to you, place them at the bottom of the pack; but to prevent this from being noticed, attract the company's attention, by saying that as you intend throwing the cards on the table, it may be suspected that you will watch the eye of the party, to see which card he fixes upon, but to prove that this is not the case, you say you will turn your head aside; during this time you have continued shuffling the cards, but in such a manner that you do not remove the cards, which are at bottom, from their places ; you then take five or six cards off the top of the pack, and throw them on the table, face upward, asking if the card thought of is among them. Whilst the person is looking over these, you, secretly, take one card from the bottom of the pack, and place it on the top when he says that his card is not in the first parcel, take off five or six more, (including the card which you have taken from the bottom,) and throw them on the table in the same manner as you did the former, taking care, as you turn your head away, to ascertain the card drawn from the bottom, as should he say that his card is in the second parcel, you immediately know that the card brought from the bottom was his; but, while he is looking at the second parcel, remember to bring another card from the bottom to the top of the pack, as, when all eyes are fixed upon those on the table, a favorable opportunity is afforded of doing so unperceived. You proceed in this manner, bringing one up, and throwing out five or six for examination, until the card has been seen ; when, knowing which it is, you may make use of the Tourn-over, the Nerve Feat, or any other you please, to make it known.

FAMILY PASTIMES. UNIVERSAL BIOGRAPHY.-This game may be played by any number of persons. One, by arrangement, is to leave the room. Meanwhile, the rest, with the knowledge of one another, are each to fix on some celebrated character. The absent person is then admitted, and is to address the following questions to each, beginning at the right: 1. What countryman was he? 2. What was his calling? FIRESIDE AMUSEMENTS. 3. For what is he chiefly memorable? THE NERVE FEAT.-Force a card, and when the person Suppose Robert Fulton be fixed upon, the answers may who has taken it puts it in the pack, let him shuffle the be:-1. An American. 2. An inventor and navigator. 3. cards; then look at them again yourself, find the card, and For bringing steam to perfection in propelling boats. Or place it at the bottom ; cut them in half; give the party suppose Edmund Burke, the replies may be :-1. An Engthat halfwhich contains his card at the bottom, and desire lishman. 2. A statesman. 3. For his essay on the Sublime him to hold it between his finger and thumb just at the and Beautiful. It must be borne in mind that the last corner; bid him pinch them as tight as he can; then question will require some decided and not general answer, strike them sharply, and they will all fall to the ground, { which must refer to some particular act, event, or thing. except the bottom one, which is the card he has chosen. If, from the answers to the queries, the questioner is enThis is a very curious feat, and, if well done, is really abled to guess the character referred to, he or she must astonishing. It is a great improvement of this feat to put pronounce it, and should it be correct, takes the seat ofthe the chosen card at the top of the pack, and turn the cards one questioned, who must then leave the room, the others face upward, so that, when you strike, the choosing party's each furnishing themselves with a fresh character. The new questioner is then admitted, and puts the same three card will remain in his hand, staring him in the face. THE TURN-OVER FEAT -When you have found a card queries, always commencing with the person sitting on the chosen, which you have previously forced, or any card right-hand of the previous questioner (so that all may thus that has been drawn, and which you have discovered by be questioned in turn.)

 OUR

NEW COOK- BOOK.

Should the first party questioned baffle the inquiries, the questioner must address them to the next on the righthand, and so on through the company, until a correct name is guessed, when the one who had fixed upon it must leave the room, and become the questioner. If the queries have been put to all without success, the same questioner leaves the room, and a new name is chosen as before. It may be made a game of forfeits, where parties are guilty of anachronism, or false answers, (which should be at once exposed by the rest of the company, ) and also where the questioner addresses the queries to all unsuccessfully. Among juveniles it may be made a game of reward, some older person being present to decide who among those questioned evinces the most correct biographical knowledge, and who, among the questioners, is the cleverest at discovering the names chosen.

white. Put them into cold water, and let them remain over the fire until they have boiled ten minutes. Cut them into slices, brush them with egg, and sprinkle over with bread-crumbs. Fry them in butter ; each sweetbread will require one and a half ounces of butter. Serve with some good gravy, such as you would prepare for a fowl. DESSERTS. Pumpkin-Pie -Procure a pumpkin of about sixteen pounds in weight, and cut from it about five pounds, taking care to pare off all the outside rind, which must be discarded. Then divide the fruit into slices as you would an apple. Have at hand three or four good-sized fruit of the latter character. Dispose of the pumpkins and apples together in a deep dish, adding to the slices one pound and a half of moist sugar, halfan ounce of allspice, a sprinkling of cloves, the rind of a fresh lemon, throwing in a teacupful of sweet cider. Cover the dish over with a thick, plain paste, and let it bake in a steady oven for one hour; be careful to draw it before it becomes hard. Cintra Fritters.-Cut up some sponge-cake, or the remains of any other kind of cake, into slices a quarter ofan inch thick, stamp them out with a tin cutter into round or oblong shapes, soak them for a few minutes in a mixture of wine and cream sweetened, and flavored with a few drops of ratafia; dredge them with flour on both sides, and fry them in lard, of a light brown color ; arrange them nicely in the dish, pour some melted raspberry-jelly round them, and serve very hot. Canary Pudding.- Take three eggs, and their weight in sugar and butter; melt the latter without oiling it, add to it the sugar and the rind of one small lemon, very finely minced, and then gradually dredge in as much flour as is equal to two of the eggs. Stir the mixture thoroughly; whisk and beat well the eggs, and add them lastly. Again mix well together all the ingredients, and boil for two hours, in a buttered mould or basin. Serve with sweet or wine-sauce. Ground-Rice Pudding.-One pint and a half of milk, three ounces and a half of ground rice, three ounces of moist sugar, one ounce and a half of butter, four eggs, and some grated lemon-peel. Bake slowly for half an hour, or longer, if not quite firm. Cheese Soufflee.- Half a pound of grated cheese, two ounces of butter, two eggs, one gill of milk or cream ; place in a dish, and bake a quarter of an hour. SANITARY. Wholesome Beverage.-From half a pint to a pint of sweet milk, boiled, to which is added a teaspoonful of curry-powder, and sugar to taste ; drunk warm it will be found a grateful beverage for those of weak bowels, and who may require to go abroad on very cold, raw mornings before breakfast, and will be much better, nay, entirely supersede, the use of ardent spirits. Purgative Biscuits.-Take one ounce of flour, one ounce of powdered sugar, two eggs, and one drachm of powdered jalap; let three biscuits be made, a quarter of one will contain five grains of jalap. This medicine may be taken once or twice a day, according to the effect. Lotion for Chilblains.-Two ounces of spirits of wine : three pennyworth of camphor; three pennyworth of sugar of lead; one tablespoonful of water Cough Medicine.-Three pennyworth of laudanum ; three pennyworth of essence of peppermint; three pennyworth of essence of anise seed. www

OUR NEW COOK - BOOK. Every receipt in this Cook-Book has been tested by a practical housekeeper. MEAT AND POULTRY. Boiled Turkey.- For boiled turkey a hen-bird is to be preferred, because of its superior whiteness and tenderness, and one of moderate size is better adapted than a very large one for this mode of cooking. The turkey should hang four or five days before cooking. Truss it as for roasting, and stuff it with a forcemeat made of bread, herbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, lemon-peel, a bit of butter, some suet, and a few oysters. Put the turkey into sufficient hot water to cover it ; it is certainly whiter boiled in a floured cloth ; remove all the scum as it rises, and keep the fowl well covered with water ; let it simmer very gently for about an hour and a half, or for a quarter of an hour longer, according to its size. It may be served with either white celery, mushroom, or oyster-sauce, or simple parsleybutter, in which case a little should be poured over the breast of the turkey before sending up. Boiled ham, bacon, or chine, usually accompanies this dish. Breast of Veal Stewed.-Brown the veal first by half roasting it; remove as many of the bones as possible, and then put it into a stewpan with some stock, a glass of wine, a piece of lemon-peel, a bunch of sweet herbs, and a carrot; let it simmer slowly on a hot hearth, with hot cinders on the lid of the stewpan ; about half an hour before it is served, strain off the sauce and remove the herbs, etc.; put it then back with the veal, first thickening it with some flour browned with butter ; let it boil up, to take off the raw taste of the flour; then add some pickled mushrooms, with their juice ; and, when you serve, add some forcemeat-balls, which have been first fried, and are hot. To vary the appearance, the tendons may be cut off, and the remainder rolled into a nice round, and finished as before; season with salt and pepper. A ham-bone, or a bit of lean ham, will improve the flavor. Beef Croquettes.- Mince some dressed beef vory fine, melt a piece of butter in a stewpan, add three or four onions, chopped fine, and fried a pale brown ; add a spoonful of flour, and moisten with a little good stock, seasoned with pepper, salt, nutmeg, and a little parsley, chopped fine. When the sauce is done enough, put in the minced beef, let it stew a short time till the sauce is dry, then form the meat into either balls or rolls, dip each into the beaten white of eggs; have some butter or lard hot, but not quite so hot as for other frys, or the balls will break ; you must put each ball very gently into the frying-pan, shaking a little flour over them; roll them about gently in the pan MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS. to brown them alike, and when a good color, drain them To Fatten Fouls or Chickens in Four or Five Days.- Set on a cloth, and serve on dressed parsley. Fried Sweetbreads.- Sweetbreads should be laid in warm rice over the fire with skim-milk, only as much as will water, with a pinch of salt in it, for an hour, to make them serve one day. Let it boil till the rice is quite swelled out,

and add a teaspoonful or two of sugar, but it will do well without. Feed the fowls three times a day in common pans, giving them only as much as will fill them at once. When you put fresh, let the pans be set in water, that no sourness may be conveyed to the fowls, as that prevents them from fattening. Give them clean water, or the milk of the rice to drink, but the less wet the rice is, when perfectly soaked, the better. By this method, the flesh will have a clear whiteness, which no other food gives ; and when it is to be considered how far a pound of rice will go, and how much time is saved by this mode, it will be found cheaper than barley-meal. The pen should be daily cleansed, and no food given for sixteen hours before the poultry be killed. To Make Toffee.- Boil three-quarters of a pound ofbutter, one pound of white sugar, three tablespoonfuls of the best syrup or molasses in a saucepan upon the fire, stirring it the whole time to prevent it from burning. It should be boiled for at least halfan hour, or until it hardens immediately on being dropped into a cup of cold water, and it is greatly improved by having a tablespoonful of vinegar put into it about ten minutes before it is taken off the fire, as the vinegar makes it crisp. Sometimes a little orangepeel, cut into slices, is also added. When sufficiently boiled it should be poured, while quite hot, into large, flat dishes, which have been previously buttered to prevent the toffee adhering too firmly to them when dry ; and it is also a good plan to cut it across with a knifo while it is hot, as it is very difficult to break when cold. Toasted Cheese.-This is one of those dishes rarely well prepared, but when rightly done is very nice. Cut a slice ofstale bread about an inch thick, (a day old,) pare off the crust and toast it a light brown- without making it hard ; then cut a slice of good, fat, mellow cheese, (English, Gloster, or Cheshire, is the best,) a quarter of an inch in thickness, but not as large as the bread by half an inch on each side, cut off the rind and lay it on the toast in a cheesetoaster, carefully watch it that it does not burn, and stir it with a spoon to prevent a pellicle or thin skin forming; have ready some good mustard, Cayenne, and salt. This is a "rare bit." It must be eaten as it is prepared. Cement for Broken China.- White of egg and alum mixed into a soft paste. ww FASHIONS FOR JANUARY. FIG. 1.-BALL DRESS OF WHITE SATIN.-The velvet trimming is cut on the skirt, wide at the bottom, and narrower as it ascends to the waist. The front width is trimmed with ruffles of lace; and a narrow lace edges the velvet on the skirt. A small gold braid is sewed on in a graceful design. The waist is made low, and trimmed with velvet. FIG. II.- EVENING DRESS OF ORANGE-COLORED SILK, made quite low in the neck, and finished with a narrow edge. The hair is arranged in puffs, very high on the head. FIG. III - GRENADINE DRESS OF GREEN ANDWHITE, STRIPED. -The skirt is without trimming; the waist is very low, and is worn under a lace waist, which has long sleeves. FIG. IV. POLONAISE DRESS OF GREEN SILK, trimmed with blue velvet, cut bias, and laid on as in the design; trimmed around with black thread lace. A white lace bonnet, trimmed with pearls and green leaves. GENERAL REMARKS.- No very decided change has taken place, in the style of making dresses, since our remarks of last month. Short dresses, in all varieties, are worn out-ofdoors. Nothing can be more sensible than this fashionfor what is more untidy than the long trailing skirt in the street, or more annoying than to be obliged to hold up yards of silk or muslin whilst walking? These short skirts have another advantage, for partially worn out dresses can be cut and gored to look like new. The petticoat, or under-

skirt, may be either of the same material and color as the upper one ; or, if preferred, of a contrasting color. For morning dresses, the gray cashmeres, imitating Indian shawls, which were so much worn some years ago, are again in fashion. These dresses come woven in patterns ; the body and upper half of the skirt being plain, and the lower half as gay and fantastic as can be imagined. The weavers of Lyons have suffered a great deal in consequence of the fashion of the past few years of wearing plain silks. Many more hands are employed in the manufacturing of brocades ; so the French empress, in order to give employment to these men, is endeavoring to introduce figured silks again. This must, of course, in time make another revolution in the style of dress ; for full flowing skirts will be indispensable to show off large brocaded patterns. Black silk dresses, trimmed with straw braid, and embroidered with straw, are fashionable. BRETELLES OR BRACES, on evening dresses, are very much worn: they have usually long flowing ends at the back, like wide sashes. PEPLUMS are much worn for party dresses, (but not when bretelles are worn, of course, ) made either of light-colored silk over white, or of white trimmed with ribbon and straw. LONG TRAINS, for the house, are still worn; in fact, they are larger than ever. Nothing can be more graceful than this style of dress ; but in small crowded rooms they are difficult to manage. Eugenie, who is the arbiter of fashion in Paris, is endeavoring to introduce short dresses for dancing; leaving the long, graceful skirt for matrons, and those who do not dance. It will take some time to reconcile our belles to this fashion ; but it is so obviously comfortable that we have no doubt it will be adopted. PALETOTS, SACQUES, ETC., of all shapes and materials, are worn. Everything is the fashion which fancy may dictate. Many circulars have made their appearance. Very wide Venetian sleeves are worn, and others are cut so small that the hand will just pass through. BONNETS are seen in as many different styles as mantles and sacques. It is impossible to say what is the fashion. One of the newest and prettiest is the chapeau mantille. It is somewhat like the Catalone, (the square head-dress of Spain, ) and has a long veil attached to it, which falls over the shoulders, and may be fastened in front, if desired. THE HAIR is dressed very high at the back with a few small, loose curls falling at the side, or from under the chignon. Bands of velvet ribbon, in the old Greek style, pass around the head once or twice. ORNAMENTS, of dead-colored gold, are very fashionable. Square car-rings and brooches, in the style of the First Empire, are beginning to make their appearance. HIGH BOOTS, tastefully made, will be indispensable with the short skirts. For the house, slippers with huge bows, rosettes, and buckles, are in favor.

 had your well frozen hard.’ At this he sat upright in astonishment just where he had been lying, and said, ‘Lord ha’ mercy! the well hard frozen in summer-time! No! I cannot remember it ever to have been hard-frozen in summer-time in my young day. The Lord God be with us!’”

At this all the neighbours laughed simple-hartedly, and each one confirmed by some instance the statement that old people like to discriminate between their times and ours. And now the mayor beckoned to the bystanders that they should step quite close to him. And then he said not very loud, “On this, I said to old Loyka, ‘Oh! grandfather, I am surprised to find that you do not know that you had your well hard-frozen in summer-time.’ ‘My dear good little gossip,’ says he, ‘for many a long year now I have not ventured to draw water from my son’s well; his peasant wife does not allow it.’” At these words a thrill of consternation ran through the group of listeners.

Vena, it is true, had not wound himself into the selecter circle, but, none the less, he exclaimed as though he had heard all that was said: “Not allow him to draw water! The frog retires that the dog may lap, and a son shuts his well against his own father.”

“You see he knows how to give names to things, and yet ’tis but a poor fool”, said the neighbours, and they thought wonderingly about the peasant proprietor, Loyka, although they had already heard about this affair of the well, and in fact from Vena himself.

“While I sat that day by the boundary-stone,” the mayor began again, “I inquired of Loyka, ‘Oh! grandfather, you can call to mind many a Kaiser this day, I take it.’ ‘I can call to mind Kaiser and gentry', replied Loyka. ‘I call to mind the time when Kaiser Joseph ploughed, and then I call to mind the time when all the gentry did it after him, only that the Kaiser ploughed with horses and the gentry with us.’”

Here the neighbours again laughed, and said, “What of that! he knew how to muster his parts of speech, and to give a slap in the face to high and low, only that he preferred to give it to the high and mighty.”

“I call to mind yet more”, said Vena, insinuating himself into the conversation. “I call to mind how that we plough one with another, and how that each hospodar laments that he cannot plough the field with his own father who is pensioned off. Oh! ye sons, what wouldn’t you give to have your wretched ‘tatas’ tugging at the plough.”

582-586] to him the name of Tiberius; at the same time the Emperor's elder daughter was named Constantina and betrothed to Maurice. Eight days later, before an assemblage of representatives of army, church, and people, Tiberius crowned the Caesar Emperor (13 Aug.) and on 14 Aug. 582, in the palace of the Hebdomon, he breathed his last. The marriage of Maurice followed hard on the funeral of his father-in-law. We would gladly have learned more of the policy and aims of Tiberius. We can but dimly divine in him a practical statesman who with sure prescience had seen what was possible of achievement and where the Empire's true future lay. He fought not for conquest but for peace, he struggled to win from Persia a recognition that Rome was her peer, that on a basis of security the Empire might work out its internal union and concentrate its strength around the shores of the eastern Mediterranean. "The sins of men," says the chronicler, "were the reason for his short reign. Men were not worthy of so good an emperor."

"Make your rule my fairest epitaph" were the words of Tiberius to Maurice, and the new monarch undertook his task in a spirit of high seriousness. At his accession Maurice appointed John Mystakon commander-in-chief of the eastern armies, and this position he held until 584, when he was superseded by Philippicus, the Emperor's brother-in-law. The details of the military operations during the years 582-585 cannot be given here; it may be sufficient to state that their general result was indecisive — most of the time was spent in the capture or defence of isolated fortresses or in raids upon the enemy's territory. No pitched battle of any importance occurred till 586. Philippicus had met Mebodes at Amida in order to discuss terms of peace, but Persia had demanded a money payment, and such a condition Maurice would not accept. The Roman general, finding that negotiations were useless, led his forces to Mount Izala, and at Solochon the armies engaged. The Persians were led by Kardarigan, while Mebodes commanded on the right wing and Aphraates, a cousin of Kardarigan, on the left. Philippicus was persuaded not to adventure his life in the forefront of the battle, so that the Roman centre was entrusted to Heraclius, the father of the future emperor. Vitalius faced Aphraates, while Wilfred, the praefect of Emesa, and Apsich the Hun opposed Mebodes. On a Sunday morning the engagement began: the right wing routed Aphraates, but was with

PHILADELPHIA, FEBRUARY , 1867. No. 2. A WIFE'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

BY EMMA GARRISON JONES. I WAS only seventeen when I married Owen Wickliffe. Too young, no doubt, but circumstances justified me. My mother died when I was a mere child ; and my father, after the prevalent custom of widowers, showed how much he mourned her loss and respected her memory, by using all possible speed in getting another to fill her place.

She was a good enough woman in her waymy second mother, I mean- strictly honest and upright, and affectionate after a certain fashion ; but she had the misfortune to possess a meddlesome disposition, and a sharp, glibe tonguetwo woeful attributes in a woman. I am certain that she did her best to make me comfortable and happy- or, as happy as it seemed proper, according to the rules of her religion, for a human being to be. She believed in the doctrine which teaches us always to have a thorn in our flesh to keep us contrite and humble. I never fancied the creed. I think the thorn serves as a stinging goad oftener than anything else ; at any rate, it had that effect with me. This new mother of mine, conscientious as she was in regard to her duty, contrived to make my young life thoroughly miserable, not because she was wicked, or spiteful, but on account of the utter antagonism of our natures.

It would not have been a wonder if, under the circumstances, I had accepted Owen Wickliffe, even without loving him, for the sake of the pretty, quiet home he offered me ; but I did love him, when I married him, with all a girl's romance, and a woman's tender devotion ; and he returned my love with equal ardor-at any rate, he made me believe so. We spent our honeymoon in travel, and then settled down as cozily as a pair of robins in our new home-a pretty little cottage on the suburbs of the city, "Rose Cottage, " Owen called it. I remember how proud and pleased I was, when he led me in that first afternoon, and calling the house-maid, bade her deliver up the keys to her new mistress. She did so, but with ill-repressed mirth, for I must have appeared very trifling and unmatronly in her eyes ; and I was not a whit less so than I appeared. I could sing, and play the piano, dance gracefully, and dress myself to perfection ; but with these my accomplishments ended. I knew no more about domestic affairs, had no more idea of the seriousness and sacredness of the duties I had taken upon me than a two-year babe.

"You're too young, too silly and childish to become a wife and mother yet ; better wait awhile, Maggie," ny old aunt said, every time the subject was brought up in her presence ; but Owen would not hear to it.

"Never fear, aunt Debbie," he would reply ; "where there's a will there's a way, you know. Mag can learn what she don't know- her heart's all right, and that's enough. "

And I, although my very soul misgave me, was too much in love with his handsome eyes to turn from his ardent pleadings, and hearken to the sage counsels of age and experience. So we were married, and went to housekeeping, a month after, at " Rose Cottage."

For a time everything went on swimmingly. Dorcas was a good cook, and something more, a fine manager ; the most fastidious eye could have found nothing to complain of in the neat arrangement of our rooms ; or the palate of an epicure found anything amiss in the nicelyflavored, nicely-cooked food that daily appeared upon our table. Owen was in raptures.

"Aha, aunt Debbie !" he said, exultingly, when she came down to tea, "what did I tell you ? Where will you find nicer bread than this ?" breaking open one of Dorcas' feathery rolls. "I said Mag would learn. She's one of the best little housewives in town."

Aunt Debbie made no reply, she did not even glance toward my scarlet cheeks and downcast 99

The Tempest, IV. i

Do now attend the queen? since they did plot

The means that dusky Dis my daughter got,

Her and her blind boy's scandal'd company

I have forsworn.

Iris. Of her society

Be not afraid; I met her deity

Cutting the clouds towards Paphos, and her son

Dove-drawn with her. Here thought they to have done

Some wanton charm upon this man and maid,

Whose vows are, that no bed-rite shall be paid

Till Hymen's torch be lighted; but in vain:

Mars's hot minion is return'd again;

Her waspish-headed son has broke his arrows,

Swears he will shoot no more, but play with sparrows,

And be a boy right out.

Cer. Highest queen of state,

Great Juno comes; I know her by her gait.

Jun. How does my bounteous sister? Go with me

To bless this twain, that they may prosperous be,

And honour'd in their issue.

Jun. 'Honour, riches, marriage-blessing,

Long continuance, and increasing,

Hourly joys be still upon you!

Juno sings her blessings on you.'

Cer. 'Earth's increase, foison plenty,

Barns and garners never empty:

Vines, with clust'ring bunches growing;

 89 Dis; cf. n.

98 minion: favorite

110 foison: harvest

668-679] which still held for the Emperor, and having instructed this officer to watch for Sergius and arrest him if he passed that way, went on to a place called Amnesia. Here Sergius was brought as a prisoner, and Andrew avenged the insult to himself by having him mutilated and then hanged. Sapor now advanced to Hadrianopolis in Bithynia; and Mu'āwiya sent Faḍāla to his assistance, while Constantine sent Nicephorus to oppose him. But, while Sapor was riding before the walls, his horse bolted and dashed his head against the gate, which caused his death. His men then returned to their allegiance; and Faḍāla, who had only reached Hexapolis, was obliged to ask for reinforcements, which were sent under Mu'āwiya's son, Yazīd, while a fleet under another Yazīd supported the army. The Arabs advanced to Chalcedon, and in spring 669 crossed to Thrace and attacked Constantinople, which was defended by Constantine (usually known as Pogonatus), now reigning Emperor. No serious siege was however undertaken; and in the summer pestilence and lack of food compelled them to retire: but on their way back they took Amorium, in which a garrison was placed. During the winter however Andrew surprised the town by night in deep snow and slew the Arabs to a man.

In 670 Faḍāla came again by sea to the Propontis and wintered at Cyzicus; and during the years 668-671 other lesser raids took place. In 672 Busr carried off numerous prisoners, and in 673 another great effort was made. A fleet under Mahomet wintered at Smyrna, and another under Ḳais in Lycia, with which an army under Sufyān co-operated, and a colony was settled in Rhodes, while an attack on Constantinople was being planned, to meet which Constantine prepared fireships provided with Greek fire, the invention of the Syrian architect Callinicus. On the arrival of reinforcements the combined fleet appeared before Constantinople in spring 674, and after occupying Cyzicus assailed the city without success from April to September, and returned to Cyzicus for the winter. The same year Faḍāla and 'Abdallāh wintered in Crete; and other expeditions were made every year without important result: but meanwhile the fleet at Cyzicus attacked Constantinople each year down to 677, when the loss in men and ships compelled it to withdraw. On its return it suffered severely from a storm off the Pamphylian coast, what remained of it was attacked by the division of the Roman fleet which from the town of Cibyra in Pamphylia was called Cibyrrhaeotae, and few, if any, ships returned home. This disaster and the Mardaite invasion of Phoenice and Palestine (678) caused Mu'āwiya for the second time to buy peace by paying tribute. The colony in Rhodes was now withdrawn, and the fortress of Camacha on the Euphrates, which the Arabs had after two earlier unsuccessful attempts taken in 679, restored. The garrison in Cyprus was removed by Yazīd, but the island continued to

Plants with goodly burden bowing;

Spring come to you at the farthest

In the very end of harvest!

Scarcity and want shall shun you;

Ceres' blessing so is on you.'

Fer. This is a most majestic vision, and

Harmonious charmingly: May I be bold

To think these spirits?

Pro. Spirits, which by mine art

I have from their confines call'd to enact

My present fancies.

Fer. Let me live here ever:

So rare a wonder'd father and a wise,

Makes this place Paradise.

''Juno and Ceres whisper, and send Iris on employment''.

Pro. Sweet, now, silence!

Juno and Ceres whisper seriously,

There's something else to do: hush, and be mute,

Or else our spell is marr'd.

Iris. You nymphs, call'd Naiades, of the windring brooks,

With your sedg'd crowns, and ever-harmless looks,

Leave your crisp channels, and on this green land

Answer your summons: Juno does command.

Come, temperate nymphs, and help to celebrate

A contract of true love: be not too late.

You sun-burn'd sicklemen, of August weary,

Come hither from the furrow, and be merry:

Make holiday: your rye-straw hats put on,
