The island is much frequented by roes, and oc-
casionally by red deer ; of the former as many as
eight or :en may sometimes be seen to;;e:her from
the wa.ks, an:l even from the drawin7-room win-
dows of the present house.. P.artridp.es, pheasants,
ord a few woodcocks `arced in it. There was for-
meily a rahhit rrem in the•low parts of the island,
Lot the rai;biti., were all destroyed by a flood about
40 years 'Fir. During the late frost, however,
t-,ey made 'an entrance over the ice, and several
hares avail themselves of the same crystal bridge to
gain access to the island. Some fine walks have
been cut by the side of the young oak and ash
trees, and the beautiful birches, ;hich form the
finest and most beautiful accompaniment to our
Highland scenery and these winding pathways,
conduct the visitor to the most picturesque points,
where the river is seen dashinp away between piles.
of pray rock and masses of foliage, which in sum-
mer present every combination of form and colour.
The spot is altouther a fairy's land—a nest of
romance ; and its present inhabitants, with their
flow;ing Highland costume, may not unaptly be de-
norninatedisland kings; for they are, in some d.?-
gree, " monarchs of all they survey," and trace
their descent from a long line of prince s.—lnver-

1 HE CHILDREN OF THE POOR.

(From Tait's Ilagazine.)
" Children were the first charge committed to
the charge cf Adam, after his fall, to enable him to
work back his way to the favour of the Maker he
had offended. Children are the holiest trust dele-
gated to our mortal hands ;—children are the ob-
jects whereupon we are permitted to exercise an
authority approaching nearest to the power of the
Creator over the created. Our responsibility is
nowhere greater than in our, entreatment of these
hostages of God.

" Yet how audaciously do we abuse our powers !
—not as regards the children of our loins ; for if
they are flogged too hard, their roaring disturbs
us ; if they are starved, there is the undertaker's
bill. Seriously speaking, our personal comfort is
too closely embarked in their well-doing to admit
of closing our hearts against their claims. But, for
at least one half of the human race, these helpless
beings—these chartered victims of selffshness, care-
lessness, and cruelty—the children of the poor, are
of no more account than if they were so many
earthworms crawling forth to be trod on. The
children of "priie contemplate the childre❑ of the
poor as Pharaoh regarded- the plague of flies and
other abominations infesting his kingly chamber.

•‘ We confess there are more of ihem in the
world than the world, as at present apportioned, can
well provide for. The anti-population question
we leave to the abler hands of Malthus end Miss
;Martineau. But from the moment the children
encumber the earth, we hold them to be entitled to
our good offices. The children—the children—
we lift up our hands and voices in intercession for
the children-I Tie penal legislation of this moral
realm is duly severe upon mothers found guilty of
assisting out of the
.world of woe the infants they
assisted into it ; and even to conceal the birth of a
child of shame passes for -en act of criminality
still more shameful. When 'are we to direct our
retribution against the authors of the death that
dies daily ?'—against the concealers of the suf-
ferings of the still unmurdered child? When
shall we have to punish the Patents who suffer
their children's features. to sharpen with • want,
while they infest the
gin-shop—their children's
frames sicken in filth and squalor, while they put-
-bean-sir ?"

MELANtIIOLY SUlClDE.—Saturday, the 17th
inst., an gentlt-man put a period to his existcree
in Leith's Caledonian 1-I.)tel. The deceased, who is de-

Both arm?, at the Lends of the elbows, were also much

arms and throe, and that he mutt lu.vc ceased to ezi-t

which their solitary =vision, with its rustic

about fdpy acres—rock, wood, and field—and is

on the north by lofty ersgs whiCh overhang one
branch of -the river, whet: flows through the deep
gorge on that vide, and on the east by similar
eminences, but of less heigi,t, where the brid:r,
communicates with the main land, is placed.
On the south and west the sides slope to the

Craig Dlionnaieh (Duncan Crag), forms a doep•
sifil sheet of water, with scarcely ant- current, as
far as Erchiess Castle, the seat of the Chishol,n,
