Queen Elizabeth.
The life of Queen Elizabeth, called by her subject
the good Queen Bess, is deserving ot particular
study, as she is generally admitted to have been
the most popular, at the same time the moat des
potic of British sovereigns. She was born at
Greenwich, on 7th September, 1533. She was
the daughter of Henry VII, by Anne Boieyn, and
her position in reference to the descent of the
throne was peculiar, since the accession of her sis
ter, Mary, conveying the inference that Henry’s
marriage to Catharine of Arragon was valid, ren
dered the issue of the second marriage illegiti
mate. An act had, however, been passed in Hen
ry’s reign, which, fortunately, perhaps, cut the
knot by settling the crown on the two princesses
successively. During the reign < f her brother,
King Edward, she spent a very happy life, follow
ing her natural disposition for hard study, and
not only acquiring many accomplishtnents, but
practically applying them to the acquisition of a
profound knowledge of mankind. During the
reign of her sister, the scene changed, and she un
derwent five uneasy years of difficulty and dan
ger. Her conduct was marked by extreme sa
gacity, courage and caution. She proved thaj
heradherance to the principles of the ref .rmation
was not so much in her mind a matter of essential
belief, as of preference between a good system and
a bad system, for she submitted in some measure
to the ritual of Rome. Ou the other hand, when
we know the extreme rigidness of Mary’s bigot
ry, it is necessary to believe that nothing but a
considerable amount of sisterly affection could have
prevented her from sacrificing one who was likclv
so far to undo all that she had herself done at ihe
sacrifice of so many lives. Queen Elizabeth’s
accession to the throne dates from 17th Novem
ber, 1558. Her glorious reign is a matter of histo
ry. A contrast to that which followed, it was
marked alike by prudence and decision. The
eclesiastical revolution, which every one saw must
follow her accession, went on so gradually, and at
the same time so distinctly, that the Romidi hie
rarchy had abandoned their cause, before it was
finally decided against them. A main character
of her reign is, that from the first she chose wise
advisers, and thro’all her personal caprices, kept
them to the end. Another eminent feature of her
policy was to yvHtch the growth of disQqnpqts
and appease them ere they become dangerous.—
Thus, when such complaints as shook the throne
in the next reign, and over turned it in that of
Charles, began faintly to appear, she stepped for
ward and redressed the grievances as from ber
own princely beneficence to her suppliant people,
and hence she preserved her prerqgatQty untar
pished, while she appeased discontent. How far
sovereigns of such ability are advantageous to a
free country may be questioned. England cer
tainly never came so near to arbitrary power as in
her reign. With all her political capacity, her
personal feelings were signally preposterous.—
Her desire to be considered lovely, and to be
loved, approached a monomania. She appears to
have had a singularly unpleasing aspect for a wo
man—harsh features, a rough, yellow skip, dim
eyes, an irascible, indented mouth, and sandy hair,
yet no one could too grossly flatter her beauty,
and it was impossible to make a portrait with the
slightest degree of truth which she could tolerate.
Sir Walter Raleigh speaks of “the pictures of
Queen Elizabeth, made by unskillful and com m m
painters, which, by her own commandment, were
knocked in pieces and cast in'q the fire.” On
more than one occasion she was allowed, and al
lowed herself, to exult in the notion that she wa<
the object of the despairiug love of her servants —
but she never permitted either vaifftv or affec
tion to disturb the policy of her reign. To the
jealousy arising out of her pecu iar weakness, we
may attribute the great blot on her name—hex
harshness to Mary, of Scotland. It has now been
proved that she distinctly indicated how good a
service she would count it, secretly ;o put the cap
live out of the way ; and it is credkabfe to the
English public men of the day, that none of them
would take her hint as a'warrant “to break inm
the bloody house of life.”
Elizabeth understood, as well as Napoleon, the,
arts necessary for gaining popularity. * When the
invasion of the Spanish Armada was impending
she visited the army assembled at Tilbury, ap
pearing on horsi-back, riding through the lines
and speakiffg to the soldiers. The efilet of her
harangue was commensurate with the soundjudg
ment, and consumate knowledge of mankind which
dictated such a display.
The tenderness of Elizabeth’s heart is popularly
believed to have been the immedi ate cause of her
death. Her favorite, the Earl of E-sex, had been
tried, and very justly condemned tor high treason.
While he was high ip fayor with the Queen, she
had given him a ring, as a pledge of her affection
and had accompanied the gft with a promise
that, in whatever disgrace he might a 1, or what
ever prejudices she might he induced to enter
tain against him by his enemies, he might de
pend upon her for forgiveness, if he produced that
ring. lu his final extremity, Essex resolved to
try the efficacy of this precious gift, and he com
raitted it to the Countess of Nottingham, to de
liver to the Queen. But the hu-band of the
Countess, an enemy of Essex, persuaded her to
retain the ring. Elizabeth imputed his supposed
omission to send it, to Essex’s pride and assented
to bis execution. After the execution of the earl
the Countess of Nottingham being on her death
bed, sent for the Queen, to reveal to her a se
cret, without disclosing which, she could not die
in peace. W r hen the Queen entered her appart
raent she presented Essex’s ring, related the pur
pose for which she had received it, and begged for
giveness of her crime. All Elizabeth’s affection
returned, all her rage was roused. “God may
forgive you, but I never can,” she Cried, as she
shook the dying Countess in her bed. ‘ She then
rushed out of the robin. Few and miserable, af
ter this discovery, were the days us Elizabeth.—
Her spirit Was utterly depressed. Her heart was
broken, and existence became a burden. She died
’ ’eR the 24th, of March, 1603. wm

Char aster of Washington.
A subscriber of the National Intelligencer sends
that paper the subjoined eulogium upon the char
acter of Washington, extracted from the London
Monthly Magazine for February, 1800. It de
erves to be placed in the appendix of Mr. Eve
rett’s celebrated oration, which has already been
delivered in the presence of so large a number
of admiring audiences, and we trust, he will
continue to lepeat until He shall have given a por
tion at least of the citizens of every State in onr
still united country an opportunity of listening to
it from his own eloquent lips :
Washington. —ln the London Monthly Maga
zine, for February, 1800, under the head of
•Deaths Abroad,” we find the following eulogium
on the character of the late Gen. George Wash
ington : ,
“Died, on the December, at his residence
in Virginia, in the 68ih year of his age, George
Washington, late President of the United States
of America—a man superior to all the titles
which arrogance or servility have invented for the
decoration of hereditary rank. He was one who
seemed expressly formed by Providence for the
mighty work of establishing the independence ofa
people which may one day delight the philanthro
pist with the view of as great an asse üblage of
freemen as Europe now contains of slaves.
“His firm mind, adapted to all circumstances of
fortune, equally inaccessible to the flatteries of
hope and the suggestions of despair, was kept
steady by the grand principles of pure love to his
country and a r-liyious attachment to moral duty.
He was one of those truly great men who can be
cod without ph egm, dispas.-ionate without-indif
ference—who, intent upon an important end, are
little moved by die vicisuudes and fluctuations in
the means which lead to it. In him even fan-* glo-
ry, reputation were subordinate considerations to
the successful performance of the high task assign
ed him ; and he could without impatience w*i
for that reward of public applause and gratitude
which was ail he desired for services beyond the
power of estimate. Ip hsjs character was renewed
all the qualities we most admire in the noble t
names c-f antiquity. Tiinoleon, Aristides, Cqqffl
lus, Fabius. did not surpass bjrn in fortitude, pru
dence, di'iuiprestedness and integrity. No one
ever more effectually united decisive thinness
with that lenity which flows- from true benevo
lence No one ever passed through the ordeal of
power and influence more free from the remotest
.suspicion of selfish and ambitious designs.
“To have passed unsulqed through such a ca
reer of glory and usefulness is so high and rare a
blessing that regret for his loss will probably, in
those nxmds warmed by a sense of exalted vir
tues, be sunk in the satisfaction of seeing anoth
er illustrious name placed beyond all danger q/ hu
man infirmity .”
—-r ••
Blossoms.
In the economy of nature, there are often blos
soms without fruit. Some of the marvels of the
floral world exhaust, in the lavishness of their
beauty, and the improvidence of their fragrance,
the strength of the stems which bear them, and
tlie petals drop, and the stems wither together.—
Yet we loved these flowers better than the others.
Their brief life was a reign of glory. They charm
ed the finer senses, they purified the grosser tastes,
they till and the soul of her who tended them
with biiuvniug delight, and led the heart to Him
who is the Author of Beauty, So there are hu
man blossoms—born, let us believe, to be blos
soms, and blossoms only—borrr to expend, in the
beauty and fr .grance of childhood, the life we
would gladly see continued into the rounded and
ripe fruit of manhood or womanhood, and to
grow mellow where they hang, among the soft
Autumnal days of age. But they burst in bloom
they gladden us, they touch all the deep springs
of tenderness within us, they shine like lamps at
our side, casting their liglit in golden bars into
our future, and then they fall, leaving us grop
ing,''stumbling, weeping, despairing.
But these human blossoms—not prematurely
ffffeu, but, as blossoms, fully perfected—have
their mission. In the period of their bloom, how
have they sweetened the life of father, mother,
brother, and trend !
What music have they made in the heart j
What rewards have their sweet beauty and ten
der prattle bestowed upon toil ! What lesssons of
patience and self-control have they t ught to the
hasty tongue and band ! What stirauious have
they given to the failing form of labor ? What
blessings have they been all the time—giving
sweetness and significance to life by t eir count
less innocent nib istries!
Do their ministries fail when they fall ? Do
they not go forth and beckon from afar ? We
grieve— we weep ; but blessed be he who can
•so far interpret the painful text of Providenee, as
to perceive that grief and tears are charged with
the most sacred office. From this time, how deep
down into the vailey of sorrow will our hearts
sympathetically follow the stricken and afflicted !
How warm a smile shall we have for other chil
dren !
How our ambitions, our strifes, our struggles
our disappointments, wiil all be softened by the
memory of’that pale little face—the living echoes
of that sweet little voice—dlfe recollection of that
charming smile ! That little blossom —so weak,
so fragrant, so beautiful —has softened, elevated,
and irradiated a whole life. Oh, there is a bless-
ing in the blossom blooming, blessing in the bias
ring. We shall know this some time —we know
it now, How can the journey after this be oth
erwise than pleasant, with a faith within us sweet
er than knowledge, and belter assurance, that an
angel awaits out* coming at the end ? How ean
we do otherwise than seek the place where,-trans
planted aud immortalized in beauty, theb'osdhfci’
will be all feckless and fragrant former

Warmly Enough.
“ ‘They cannot imagine,’ says Mr. Fortune, ‘how
the Europeans can exist with the thm clothing
they generally go about in. When the weatheo
was cold, I used always to wear a stout, warm
great coat above my other dress, and yet the Chi.
nese were continually feeling the thickness of nn
clothes, and telling me that surely I must feel cold.
Their mode of keeping themselves comfortable in
winters differs entirely from ours. They rarely or
never think of using fires iu their rooms for this
purpose, but as the cold increases, they just put on
another jacket or two, until they feel that the
warmth of their bodies is not carried off faster
than it is generated. As the raw, damp cold of
morning gives way to the genial rays of noon, the
upper coats are one by one thrown off until even
ing, when they are again put on. In the spring
months, the upper garments are cast off by de
grees, and, when the Bummer arrives, the Chinese
are found clad in their dresses of cotton, or in the
grass-cloth manufactured in the country. In the
northern towns, the ladies sometimes use a small
brass 6tove, hke a little oval basket, having .tb<-
lid grated, to allow the charcoal to burn and the
heat to escape; this they place upon their tables
or on the floor, for the purpose of warming then
hands and feet. Nurses also carry those little
stoves in their hands, under the feet of the chil
dren. Such, however, is the thickness and warmth
of their dresses, that it is only in the coldest weath
er they require them. Little children, in whiter,
are so covered up that they look like bundles of
clothes, nearly as broad as they are long; and
when the padding is removed in warm weather, i
is difficult to imagine that you see before you tin
same individuals.’
“The prodigality of clothing is rendered th
more necessary by the aversion of the Chin—xx
•f which Mr. Hue speaks, for ‘gymnastic prome
nades.’ The most pa ient, industrious, and pe>
severing of mankind, where there is an object t
he gamed, exeriion without profit is a notion the}
cannot comprehend. To watch Europeans re. re
ffi"g themselves, by pacing U p and down with th
activity of travellers hurrying to a goal, is a spec
taole which raises in them the same emotion
with which Cowper contemplated the barren spec
ulations of philosophical theories ;
“ ‘Defend me, therefore, common-sense, say I,
From reveries so airy, from the toil
Os dropping buckets into empty wells,
And growing old in and awing nothing up.’
“Mr. Fortune and some English friends, who
went up the country by canal from Ningpo, wer
accustomed to get out from the boat, when tire<
with sitting, and walk awhile upon the bank, ‘fe
it not strange, 1 they heard a Chinese say. ‘tlxa
these people prefer walking when they have
boat as well as ourselves ?’ ”
A Glass of Brandy.
It can’t hurt any body ! Why, I know a per
son, yonder he is now, a specimen of man!)
t eauly, a portly six-footer. He has the bearing
of a prince, for he is one of our merchant prin
ces. His face wears the hue of health, and now
at the age of fifty odd, he has the quick, elastic
step of our young men of twenty-five, and none
more full of mirth and wit than he, and I kno*
he never dines without brandy and water, and
never goes to bed without a terrapin or oyster
supper, with plenty of champagne; and more
than that, he was never known to be drunk.—
So here is a living example and disproof of the
temperance twaddle about the dangerous nature ot
an occasional glass, and the destructive effect of a
temperate use of good liquors.
Now it so happened that this specimen of safe
brandy drinking, was a relation of ours. He
died in a year or two after that, of chronic diar
rhoe, a common end of those who are never drunk,
nor even out of liquor. He left his six children ;
and he had ships at every sea and credit at every
counter, whioh lie never had occasion to use.
For months before he died—be was a year in
dying—he could eat or drink nothing without dis
tress, anil at death, the whole alimentary canal was
a mass of disease; in the midst of his millions, he
died of inanimation. That is not the half, reader.
He bad been a steady drinker, a daily drinker for
twenty eight years. He left a legacy to bis chil
dren, which h ■ did not mention. Scrofula had
eaten up one daughter for fifteen years; anothe>
is in the mad-house; the third and fourth of un
healthy beauty, there was a kind of grandeur in
that beauty * and they blighted, and paled and
faded into heaven we trust in their sweetest teens;
another is totterering on the verge of the grave,
and only one is left with ail the senses, and each
of them is weak as water. Why, we caine from
the dissecting room, and made a note of it, it was
so horrible.— Halls Journal of Health.
The Land of Barns.
Mr. Baird, the lord of the hills, made sacred
by the genius of Robert Burns, has devised a
plan by which his name shall be handed down to
posterity along with that of the great bard. In a
straDge fashion has this been done. All who
have made a pilgrimage to Ayrshire,and the thou
sands who have not, know that Burns’ monument,
is the most refreshing and pleasing object m the
bright scenes with which it is indissolubly associa
ted. If it is a pleasure to Englishmen, it is one
of the dearest things in the heAfs of Scotchmen.
Mr Baird grasp fame in thiß fasnion ; Some time
ago he signified his intention of giving a sire for
the erection of a church at AUoway, and the spot
he has chosen is just that which, when built upon
will block out Burns monument from various at
tractive view points on the leading thoroughfare
from Ayr. Half of this screen of stone and mor
tar is already up, and to a certain extent it effects
that obstruction which will be complete when the
edifice is finished. Never did church benefactor
or church itself receive so many blesssings. They
are heard on all hands, and the whole of Scotland
bids fair to be up on the question The newspa
p rs, foremost of which is the Ayrshire Express,
heve raised their broadsheets age ins t the com pie
fciun of this piece of modern vandalism, and pub
lie meetings are being held in various places.—
On Thursday, at a large and influential meeting
held nt Ayr, the speakers including Mr, Robert
Chambers and the Rev. George Gilfilien, a com
oi'tee wae appointed for the purpose of using their
influence with the promoters of the church to in
luce them to choose a less objectionable site. The
nere erection of the church there, bad as that is
vill not be the only difficulty. Where a church
qs there will be a parsonage house, and where
•-oth are, a cluster ot dwellings will in time fol

These H'tlu paragraphs cout .in many excellent
suggestions :
Ihe great secret is to learn to bear with each
other’s failings and to be b'ind to them; that is
•rither an impossibility or a frilly. We mu t not
see, nor feel them. If we do neither th-*y are not
evils to us, and there is obviously no need ot for
bearance; but to throw the mnnlle of aftriciion
round them, concealing them from each other’s
eyes; to determine not to let them chill xhe*tfee
titins , to resolve to cultivai© good ien]ieie , l f r
earance, because it is the only way of mi ig*t ng

le brought streams also out of tile rock, and
•aused waters to run down like rivers.” “He o
oened the rock and the waters gudied out, they

.iirough “that great and terrible Wilderness,” must
lave been this wonderous supply. When mur

they exclaimed : Is the Lord omong us, or not ?
How joyfully the mother raises her fainting child,

flow in mighty streams, where all before was
oarched and desolate. And how must their hearts
nave swelled with gratitude to Him who gave them
his sweet refreshment. There was an abundance
or all, there was no exhausting of the cool, flow
ng fountain, which came from the rock. “They
hank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,”
laid the apostle “and that rock was Christ.”—
\Vhst can this mean? Not that the flinty rock
vas like the gracious and loving .Saviour, but was
a type of him, to set forth the fulness and freeness
of his salvation. What the flowing waters were
to the thirsty Israelitds, is his salvation to us all.—
The fountain still flows for Gentiles as weli as
lews, in rich abundance from the same smitten
ttock, wnose waters gladdened the hearts of the
Israelites, for “that rock was Christ.”— Boston Ol

Story of Incledon. — We remember a sfory of
Incledon, the once fa mot s vocalist, that fits “an af
fair of honor” most cap tally. P.ror Tncledon was
ne of the unsophisticated, and sa-d an did a
great many thb gs out of sheet simplicity that had
been much better left unsaid and undone. Some
thing of this k'nd gave ff nee to a gentleman
with whom Incledon happened to tall in company,
and the offended partv resolved upon satisfaction.
He sought out the S Dger, accordingly, and was
lucky enough to find him enjoying his bottle of
port, one fine afternoon, at a noted hotel. “Mr.
Incledon,” says the waiter, “a gentlemau wishes to
you, sir,” “Show him up, t‘e ,” says Incle
don. “Sir,” said the visitor in a toweling pass 1 on,
‘ I’m tt Id that you have been making free with
ny name, in a very improper manner, and I have
■*>me to demand satisfaction.” After some par
leying, Incledon rose, put on his bat, and planting
himself on oneside of the room, began warbling
Biack-eved Susan, in bis most delicious style.—
When he bail finished, “There, sir,” said he, “that
has given complete satisfaction to seveial thou
sands, and if you want ; nytbing more, I’ve only
to sav, you’re the most unreasonable fellow I ev
er met with.”
