" But the Conference Hitatieteti, them is no th.ggi,.ing the tavt."— Tome., (art. to.
Oh. what's the excuse
For the late game of
At which every statesman has wouilail.
Which has given the Civil
All he wants without war
"Tig only " the Conference blundeed."

If his army shall stay,
And winter away,
In the plains of the people they've pinutier'il,
An answer 'pike pat
Can be given 14 that,—
'Tis only •' the Conference blunder'il."

And though it is plain
They'd hare gone baek again,
If the .hips of old England had thander'd.
" Such was our intent,
Aud what CLARENDON meant;
But only the Conferenee blunder'd."

If the Voi►•e of the crowd
Grows indignantly loud.
And meetings are held by the hundred,
A smile and a frown
Will put them 1111 down,
For only " the Conference blundered."

Thus, although it is seen
That old AnEnotiEN
The whole of the business has 'Noticed.
'Twould be so inhuman
To curse all old woman,
That so, "'ti. the Conference blundeed."

HISTORIC ANTECEDENTS.

How often in a gallery of family portraits has the sl►eetator remarked
the transmission of hereditary features from the first ancestor to the
latest descendant. This resembl►nee may he identified in a, moral
sense, and in HO ease more conspicuously than in that of the t ionnoss
of

"The current tradition and belief," according to Shorpis Uenefr-
lipyieal reerage,"is that the family descend from llinurnaN I) DE I iolltDoN
" who shot the fatal arrow at linatAnn Coxit DE Dos, 11119, in allusion
"to which event the Am.:am:Es branch of the (lonooss bears the crest
"of two arms ready to let thy an arrow from a bow, with the motto
"Ftortmut op/War."

That the present representative of this illustrious race is aequitted
of degeneracy is obvious to all Englishmen. Wh►► hots been readier
than he with his diplomatic longbow to emulate the feat of his an-
cestor at ClBllOlll4, 811(1 with all the exhausted energy of both hisarms
to nun a blow at the Lionheart of England? No thanks to him if he
hots not occasion to change his motto to Iheretlateri lethalixorando.
Incidentally the untimely feat of Iie:m•RANI was the means of
placing a certain tlonN upon the throne; wherefore. to illustrate the
feat of whie•lt it w►ts a prophetical type, we should substitute for Mr.
lii..kosvoNE some scion of the house of Bedford when we inaugurate
the statue by Baron MAKOVIIETTI.
