The Edinburgh papers mention the singular
fact that Wayerly, the first and probably the
best Of Sir Walter SCOTS prose works, remained
unpublished for nearly ten years after it was
written. In 1905 Balantyne offered it for pub
ilcatlon, bnt, for want of encouragement, deem
ed it prudent to defer it. Sir Walter himself
did not appear to place much confidence in this

in England, entitled "Notes and Reflections dur
ing Ramble in Germany" by the author of the
Recollections of the Peninsula" &c. The wri-
ter's visit to the tomb of the Queen of Prussia is
interesting.
There is woman's grave Berlin, which all
travellers do fondly and reverently visit. No one
needs to be informed of the life, the fortunes, and
the fate Of the late beloved Queen Of Prussia-be-
loved. not only by devoted husband, but by an
entire people, who respected her pure example, as
) wife and a mother, and adored her patriot spirit
as their queen. The subject Of indgnites which
never have been, and will be, forgiven
TO the iron Napoleon and the witness ofpublic
lamitles, which, although they could not subduc
her generous and royal mind, corroded the inward
principle Of life, stole the bloom from her youthful
cheek, the light from her fair eyes, bowed down
her beautiful form, broke her young heart, and laid
her in the tomb.
This tomb is in the garden Of Charlottenburgh.

Even a stranger might sit soohed for hours by

mountain, which seems to threaten its humble
roof with the terrible avalanche, stands sweet
lowlv cottage, filled with busy inmates, and
surrounded with every appearance OF rural la
