pass where FitZ James lost his horse and laments over him.
 "Woe worth the chase, woe worth the day, That cost thy life, my gallant Grey" My powers of memory will not suffice to give you the long description as our guide did to us. We passed too Colantogle Ford, the scene of the con- bat between Fitz James and Rhoderick Dhu. The road close on the borders of the Lochs Vennacher and Achray is so narrow that we had our wheels entangled in each of the three vehicles we passed on the way, but as we were brought safely through it served only to give hftEe ercitemenf, which with our Gsce and admiration was in perfect kcep- ing with the wildness of the landscape In the af- ternoon we arrived at Trosach's the romantic are- aue to Loch Katrine, and here
 High on the south huge Benvenue
 Down Go the Lake in masses threw
 Craggs, knolls and mounds, the fragments of
 an earlier world,
 While on the north. through middle air
 Ben-an heayed high his forehead bare" We climed mountain which looks down upon Glen Finlas, once royal hunting ground and the scene of Scotfs ballad of that name Tn the morn- ing we gave preference to little row boat to cross Loch katrine over little steamer of three horse power, which with seven rowers goes faster than the steamer.
 " The rower then bending to his oar
 With equal strokes their burden bore" "Ellen's Isen pointed out to us and s'the silver e:rand" where stood Fitz James when he first saw Ellen Douglass. where
 The maid alarmed with nasty oar
 Pushed her light shallop from the shore,
 And then though safe, yet half amazed,
 sae paused and on the strangeV gazed."

FEMALE UNION BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.

A meeting of this Association took place last
night at the Unitarian Church After PRAYER by
the Rev. DR.. Laurie, the Annual Report of the
Treasurers or Managers was read, and its de-
tails gave great satisfaction to the audience. The
report is handsomely drawn up, and we presume
it will be published for the information of the
public; and for the encouragement and example
of similar associations. Too much praise cannot
be bestowed upon the ladies of Washington for
their truly Christian Charity to the poor. Their
benevolence has not stopped at mere aims givin g.
which simply relieve the animal wants but re-
membering that man liveth not by bread alone,
they have.endeavored to impart the balm of hope
and consolation to the crushed and wounded spir-
lts of the needy and helpless, and by the manifes-
tation of fraternal sympathy with the poor.
After the Report was made, an address was de-
livered by the Rev. Mr.. Hale. The address was
impressive and eloquent, and it's touching appeals
to the heart must have met response in every
Christian and philanthropic heart.
A collection was taken up to be used by the
Society for the benefit of the poor.

TA1LoRs.-Manv eminent men have served
their time at tailoring. Thomas Woolman, ma
tive of New Jersey, who first suggested the idea
of aboshing the slave trade, was tailor by trade.
He published much on the subject, and went to
Europe to consult distinguished men respecting
the topic, where he died of the small pox in l772.
Sir John Hawkwood-the first English Gen.
was also tailor. His historian says of him
"He turned his needle into sword, and his
thimbIe into shield" He died in 1894. In
Rockingham there is a monument erected to his
memory.
Benjamin Robbins, the compiler of Anson's
voyage around the world--f not tailor by trade,
was the son of a tailor.
Sir Ralph Blackwell, knghted by Edward III.
for his bravery, was tailor by trade He was
the founder of Blackwell Hall.
John Stowe, the antiquarian, who died in Lon
don about the year 1000, at the age of so years,
was tailor.
John Speed, the distinguished historian, served
his apprenticeship at the same trade.
Let our tailors be encouraged. Many an emf
nent man, besides those we have mentioned
above, has arisen to usefulness and honor from
this trade. No class of men among US are more
industrious-a and very few more intelligent.
