'affected the highest principles of the craft, and had

THE MUSEUM.

• --
The question of opening ninseurns upon a Sunday wss
still as much debated in Pirliament as ever. Sir Rapers,
by-the-bre, voting against it, because it so strongly rev
urn-
mended itself to hi. common sense.—but Mr. Raymond
always made a point of exhibiting his collection of old-
irld curiosities up in Christmas Der. He iiiseesed of the
eld lots every year, to buyers if possible. but if not, in the
cellars, and procured others of • later epoch, and his present
miscellany happened to he be formed out of materials of
the date of 1R77.
"I shall have the honour, ladies and gentlemen," said
he, no he led the way to the museum after luncheon, "of
showing you this afternoon some very remarkable
examples of our ancestors, with illustrations of what is
vulgarly termed their • goings on.' though, no a matter of
fact, they scarcely moved on at all, or, when they did, only
! like • mill-horse."
The museum was a magnificent apartment, lit by painted
windows, mostly of a green c door, so as to throw a dim
and therefore appropriate tint upon the crude inventions
of the past, and also perhaps to charitably conceal the
! defects of our an,stors, effigies, scores of whom, as large

until that of Victoria. Its discontinuance, indeed, was
only owing to an engraving of the punishment published
lin an illustrated paper (very properly prosecuted, by-the'
bye, for the offence under the Act which takes its name
from the Poet Campbell), and which for the first time !
opened the eyes of the public (very wide indeed) to the
existence of the scandal.
"Let us remove the skull of this very gentlemanly
youth, and see what was taught him for that money. The
brain, you will remark, is in parallel lines, resulting from
Ito almosa exclusive application to Latin verse, which was
performed mechanic-illy by an instrument called a grades.
No allowance was made at any of those great seminaries
for Individual character; a Itoy of genius was made ti

the greet principle of that epoch, the repression of 'dear,

"Bat how long, Harry, did they persevere ripen this
system with downright stupid boys, like our dear Charleyr
inquired Mrs. Raymond.
" For ever- that is to say, until they were boys no longer,
It wail not until half a centary af terwarda that it was
dilicovvresl that reading, writing, and arithmetic are the
only things that a stapid boy can comprehend, and the
only things which a clever boy cannot quite easily learn

classics, mathematics, the use of the globe, and all the

"Yes. Let sue finish with this gentleman first. Well,
go enamoured were our ancestors of their Peers when they
had made them, that they fell in love with their sons
also ; ansl, having flattered and funnel upon them from
their credles, so that it was next to imposeible that the
poor young men could turn out otherwise than vain and
selfish, they took away from them every incitement to
exertion by decreeing that they should enjoy their father's
title. After a generation or two if a family had accom-
plished the feat of sweeeding to their ancestors, the
public asiulation of theui passed all botanist, and assumed
the form of fetish ; and the famous verse:-
'Let law, religion, virtues, morals, die.
But leave us still our old nobility,'
was added to the Nationel Anthem."
"But did not the absurdity of his position strike the

softer: here is • gap which held the Latin quotations be
used in the House of Lords-so he was up to that, you
see. These are also traces of arithmetic, by help of
which he made up his betting-hook."
"There's something written in his brain, said Lofty,
standing on tiptoe, and peering into the cavity of the
skull."
"Ah ! that's something that was inculcated so strongly
that it got stereotyped-probahly some sort of apology for
his poeition in life suezested by his friends. I thought
so-The ~lt end of the wedge. That was; the metaphor
he always kept by him to use against the reformers,

"Oh my, what a guy !" exclaimed Charley suddenly.
The exclamation was evoked by a fixiire of defiant aspect,
but witb his limb., so Awkwardly put together that it was
a marvel how they supported hiss.
I "Ah 1 that is a self gewle mat," explained Mr.

opinion. Lift his skull, Charley, and reveal his senti-

himself ; "the only kind of education, sir," as he used be
say, 'worth having,' That accounted for his original

" And which did they like bent:" asked Charley.
Well, the Hereditary Legislator was the idler of the
two. These were a few good men of both sets, hut the
failures became so frequent and notorious that Life
Peeresses were invented (the idea of merit did not occur
even then till the next century), and men were forbidden
to make themselves at all.
"The system of Verbiage was very popular among our
sweeter', and especially among members of the legal
profession. Here is a law document of the period, written
on vellum-for, after taking all the wool from their

" Y. s, taking these good folks all round," mused Sir

"1 don't know that," answered Mr. Raymond laughing.

"But she is not a hundred years old, uncle; and she's

Interest • girl of the period, to whom Mr. Raymond had
drawn attention.
"I confess I see little in her to admire," said Lofty
frigidly. " Its the first place she is not properly
balanced."
"Ala ! that is because of her high heels," explained Mr.
, Raymond; it was thought attractive to lean forward and
to limp. She would have fallen on her nose, hut that
the centre of gravity was put farther back by the weight
of her chignon -a bunch of dead people's hair worn at the
back of the head."
"Then she was false from head to heel," remarked
Leap contemptuously."
"Welt, I am afraid she has very little to stand upow-
except her rights. It was the era of Woman's Rights, -
you know, when the sex first began to insist upon their I

"I was only nodding adhesion to your remarks, Harry,"
answered the good lady indignantly: "and have never
even closed my eyes."
"Curious," observed Mr. Raymond, to Sir Rupert, as
ithey all left the room, 'that no woman (save in a fairy
dory) has ever owned to falling asleep in the daytime,
except under chloroform."
