a watch from Charles Cuniming, valued>.t $125. and j

tacle more novel than anything which Julius
and Nelly had ever before seen and whioh, for
its very novelty, was both amnaing and inter
esting to them. True, Mr. Montgomery had
been somewhat disconcerted by the tilt which
he had taken from the back of the younger Ram
sey and the allusion made to it by the elder
one; but still he was himself in all his genial
nature, except, perhaps, when Mrs. Montgom
ery playfnllv reminded him that according to
Mr. Ramsay's prophecy,* Mazin Grace would
try to imitate her brother upon their arrival at
Iter father's house.
But the end of their first day's journey was
near at hand and there was much thought in it
for the anxious travelers. It had been a day of
both promise and disaster—of hope and disap
pointment—of pleasure and sorrow of sadness
and mirth. It had been a day whose disasters
might prove a blessing in the end—whose dis
appointments might ultimately lead to success
—whese sorrows might turn into joy—whose
anxieties and nnoertainties might prove that
iheir friends at home were right for advising
them to abandon their ill-omened journey.
Still, they could form a conclusion no more def
inite than to say that the events of a day were
upon them whether for the better or the worse,
that they were of necessity compelled to accept
them, whether for weal or for woe—that a new
phase of life had been presented to them, wheth
er for profit or for loss—that they were determ
ined to make the most of it, whether agreeable
or displeasing—that they were looking forward
to their reception by the Ramsay family with
Almost as much interest as if they were approach
ing one of the most important points noted on
the map of their projected travels, whether re
ceived as the geests of an untutored son of the
wild hills around them, or as the friends and
companions of their most happy days.
Slowly, but surely, the oxen moved forward,
subject to the skdllful guidance of their driver,
who seemed to t>e careiul that the wheels should
not come in contact with the smallest obstruc
tion. Perhaps, in view of the misfortunes of
the day, he felt that as the strangers were now
in his charge, ue was responsible for their corn-
tort and safety. If the wheels unavoidably ran
over rough places he either went very slow or
stopped quite stiil, no doubt thinking that the
jolting was as violent as that given by his rude
ox-cart, cf which he was tho boasted maker.
Though not well knowing wnai to do, both be
and bis father were so very kind and consider
ate in their attentions that the travelers soon be
came satisfied that if they had fallen into bands
untrained to the usages of cultivated society,
they we r e soon to become the guests of those
who knew nothing of dissimulation and whose
brawny arms and warm hearts were responsive
to their actions and at the service -of their
friends. This was a consolation which the dis
concerted travelers highly appreciated, and car
rying it with them to the end of tneir first day's
journey, they will carry it with them to the end
of their lives.

Mason and Dixon's Line.—On the 4th of Au
gust, 1763, Thomas and Richard Penn and
Lord Baltimore, being together in London,
agreed with Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dix
on, two surveyors, to mark, run, and settle, and
fix the boundary line between Maryland on one
hand and Delaware and Pennsylvania on the
other. They accomplished their work to within
36 miles, 6 chains, and 50 links, when they were
told by iheir Indian escort that it was the will
of the Sionx nation that the surveys should
oease, and they terminated accordingly, This
happened 111 years ago. Mason died in Penn
sylvania in 1787; Dixon died at Durham, Eng
land, in 1777.
Emerald Isle.—The epithet, as applied to Ire
land, was first used by Dr. William Drennan,
author of “Glendallochand other poems, who
was born at Belfast on 23d May, 1754. The
phrase occurs in his beautiful poem, entitled
“Erin," from which a stanza is quoted below.
Arm of Erin ! prove strong; but te gentle as brave.
And. uplifted to strike, still be ready to save ;
Nor one feeling of vengeance presume to file
Tiie cause, or the men, cf the Emerald Isle.
To the words “Emerald Isle” Dr. Drennan
has added the following note : “It may appear
puerile to lay claim to a priority of application
in the use of an epithet; but poets, like bees,
have a very strong sense of property, and both
are of that irritable kind as to be extremely jeal
ous of any one who robs'them of their hoarded
sweets. The sublime epithet which Milton us
ed in his poem on the nativity, written at 15
year of age, ‘His thunder-clasping hand,’ would
have been claimed by him as his own, even after
he had finished ‘Paradise Lost.’ AucI Gray
would prosecute as a literary poaching the dar
ing hand that would presume to break into his
orchard and appropriate a single epithet in that
line, the most beautifully descriptive which
ever was written :
4 The breezy call of incense-breathing morn.’ ”
A Feather in Ills Cap.—Among the manuscripts
in the British Museum there are two cvpies of a
curious description of Hangary which appear
to have been written by a military adventurer of
the Dalgetty tribe of 1508. The writer, speak
ing of the inhabitants, whom he describes “of
stature and complexion not unlike the poor
Irish,’’ says: “It hath been an ancient custom
among them that none shall wear a feather but
he who l ath killed u Turk, to whom it was law
ful to show the number he bad kilJed by the
numbers ot feathers in his cap.”
Peter's Pence. — Offa, a Saxon Prince, to ingra
tiate himself in favor of the sovereign Pontiff,
engaged to pay him a yearly donation for the
support of au English college at Rome ; and, in
order to raise the sum, he imposed a tax of a
penny on each house possessed of 30 pence a
year. This imposition, being alterward levied
on all England, was commonly denominated
Peter's Pence.
True lilue —Tbefirst assumption of this phrase
was led by the Covi Hunters, io o’pi osi'ion io the
scarlet badge of C laries I., aad hence it was
taken np bv the troops of Leslie and Montrose
in 1639. The adoption of the color was one of
those religious pedantries in which the Coven
anters, in a Pharisaical observance of the scrip
tural letter and the usage of the Hebrews, dis
tinguished themselves. And thus they named
their children Habp.kkuk and Zerubbabel, and
their chapels Zion and Ebenezer. They de
corated their persons with blue ribbons because
