Relics of Mary Queen of .Seots.-

Relics Of Mary Queen Of Seots.-
Certain interesting relics of this never
to-be- forgotten queen Of sorrow as well
as of beauty, are yet among us, and in
the possession of personages Of her own
gentle sex. The celebrated casket
said 10 have contained the fatal letters
produced to excuse her condemnation,
graces the cabinet of the Hon. Miss
Grimston. The pearl necklace which
used to adorn her beautiful neck in the
bright days of her charms and her pow
er, is sometimes the ornament of her no
less lovely countrywoman, Miss Mac
donald. And the hallowed little cross
which lay on her bosom in the hour OF
execution, is regarded as a sacred inhe-
ritance in the family of the Duchess of
Richmond. And, perhaps, what is the
most affecting relic ofthem all, the last
garment which folded round her in the
last act of that horrible scene, and
stained with her blood, is in the posses
sion of the house of Throckmorton.-
Some touching verses show how often
it has been embalmed with a tear from
the gentle eyes of Lady Throckmorton,

VI, Emperor of Germany. Her me-
mory was so retentive, that she could
relate with accuracy the minute details
of the event that occurred at Brussels
under his reign, and under those of the
Empress Maria Theresa and the EN-
peror Joseph H., with many very Gu
rious anecdotes of the Revolution OF
1879. She has left children, grand
children, and great grandchildren, to
the number Of 1913 persons.

The Song of The Virgin.


Yes, as sun burst flushing mountain snow,
Fell the celestial touch Of fire ere long
On the pale still ness Of thy thoughtful brow,
And thy calm spirit lightencd into song
Unconsciously perchance, yet free and strong
Flowed the majestic joy OF tunei1i WORDS
Which living harps the choirs OF Heaven among
Might well have linked with their dvnest cords
Full many a strain, borne far on glory's blast,
Shall leave, when once its naughty music pass q
No more to memory than reeds faint sigh;
While thou, o childlike Virgin! through all time
Shalt send its fervent breath DER every cline,
Being Of God, and therefore not to die.

That saw thee, Womanl bright in this world )

Moving to Pleasures airy melodies,
Thyself the idol Of the enchanted strain
Bat from thy beauiy's garland, brlei and vain,
When one by one the rose leaves had been torn,
When thy heart s core had quivercd 10 the pain
Through every lifc-ncrve sent by arTowy scorn;
When thou didst kncel topour sweet colours forth
On the Redeemers feet with many sigh,
And showcring tear drop, Of yet richer worth
Than all those costly balms of Araby;
Then was there joy, song Of JOY in Heaven,
For thee the child won back the penltent forgivn

Oh, blcst beyond all Daughters of the Earth.
What were the Orient's throne TO that low seat,
When thy hushed spirit drew celestial mirth'

But thy fresh chldh ood, heavanly truth 10 meet
With Love, and wonder, and submissive Thought.
Oh for the holy quiet of thy breast,
midst the worlds eager tones & footsteps flying

That even when Moontide burns upon the hills,
Some one BRIGHT solemn star all lis lone mirror fills.
