THE PROPHECY.

In 1857, when James l., of Scotland was
on his road TO Perth, where the most splen-
did rejoicingS had been prepared for him,
circumstance disquieted him and mar
red the joys of the royal excursion.
There happened TO be in this part Of the
country a Sir Robert Graham, one of the
Kings sword enemies and, according TO an
old prophecy, this self same year a King of
Scotland was to end his days in Perth. New
eriheless, James was preparing to GLOSS the
lay and enter the town, when a kind of bag
with gray locks and paid counteuance, rush
ing forward, accosted him in these words:
My Lord, the King, if you pass this river,
you will never return,
One of the lords in waiting entreated the
monarch to retrace his steps But this
would have been a cowardly act. The
young courtier continued firm in his entreat-
les.
Remember said he to his master, that
according to the prophecy, a King is TO die

feastings were kept up there all the day long.
AT night, when he had retired into his prl-
vate apartment with the Queen, an extraor-
binary noise was heard. A troop Of conspi-
rators invaded the royal abode, and James l..
rushing TO the window, saw his own guards
disafmmed, and recognised Sir Robert Ora
ham at the head of the band of assailants.
Il am undone," exclaimed the monarch.
At the same moment, steps were heard in
the adjoining room. The Queen swooned
away, and Lady Catherine Douglas, rushing
towards the door, thrust her arm into the
place where the massive bolt ought TO have
been. The murderers broke her arm Ora
ham, entering atthe head Of them stabbed
the King to the heart, and the assassins dis
appeared. The crime did not remain un-
punished. Sir Robert Graham, who fled in
to the highlands, was arrested with his party,
putdo the torture and executed. The only
regret he manifested was that of not hay

GENERAL PUTNAM.


Among the worthless who figured during
the era oil the American revolution, perhaps
there was none possessing more o%riginalityo of
character Than General Putnam, who was
eccentric and fearless, blunt in his manners,
the daring soldier, without the polish Of a
geAileusan. He Might well be

possession Of The British. Putnam with a few
sturdy patriots, vas lurking in its vicinity,
bent on driving Them from Tie place. Tired
of lying in ambush, the men became impa-

lions, as 10 when they were going 10 have "a
bout with the foe. One morning he made
a speech something TO the following effect,
which convinced them that something was
in the wind: "FelleFs-you'ye been idle

Bush's at Horse-neck, in an hour, with an OK
team and a load Of corn. If | come back.

should not, let them have il, by The hockey..'
He shortly after mounted his ox-cart,
dressed as one of The commonest order Of
Yankee farmers, and was soon at Bnsl's fay-
ern, which wash possession of the British
troops. No. sooner did the officers espy him,
than they began 10 question him as TO his
whereabout, and finding him a complete
simpleton, Gas they thohght,) they began 10
quiz him, and threatened 10 seize the corn
and fodder.

Putnam gave up the team, and saunterod
about for an hour or so, gaining all the inf r

men, and told them of the foe and his plan OF
attack.
The morning came, and with ii sailed out
the gallant band. The British were hand

CRUELTY KILLED BY KINDNESS.


A girl in Vermont married a poor but wor-
thy man against her fathers wish. He drove
them from his house, and closed his door and
heart against them. They came down near
Boston, went to work, and prospered. After
many years the father had occasion to come
to Boston. He concluded TO go and see his
daughter, expecting a cold reception. His
daughter and her husband received him most
kindly and lovingly. After staying with
them awhile, he went back 10 Vermont.
One of his neighbours, hearing where he
had been, asked him how his daughter and
her husband had treated him,
Il never wass o treated before in my life"
said the weeping and broken-hearted father
"They have broken my heart; they have
killed me: | don't feel as though Icould live
under it.''
@What did they do TO you?" asked the
%neighbor. 'Did they abuse you?,'
"They lored me to death, they killed me

James VI. That may be easily accounted
for.
James vi. of England and Scotland affirm

that he could not even bear the sight of a

THE ENGLISHMAN, SCOTCHMAN.

The Englishman began 10 count on his
fingers with the most unmoved indifference,
and replied without hesitation:

addressing the Irishmaa. "What do you think
you are likely TO get here?"
The Irishman, glancing archly at the mis-
ty vapours which surrounded him burst into
a loud laugh.

nothing 10 get-but a bad cold"
"There, Monsieurle Vicomte," added my
travelling friend, "is a little anecdote which
gives, 10 a certain extent, an idea of The ac-
fual character of The three nations. Put a

To tie Editor Of The Tribune
In the translation of the address OF the Poles to
the Russians which appeared in your paper OF FIJI
dav last, the translator, by the use OF the word

showed he must have labored under the impression
which some German authorities give in regard to
the meaning and origin of the name. Permit me to
correct that impression in which all those who do
not read authentic Slaronian authorities share. In
the first place is incorrect to write Scfdvontan 1t
should be Slovenian. The appelatve IS derived
from the word Sl0rd, meaning tame or glory: Sia-
roman therefore means famous glorious. OF
late the Slavic writers prefer this TO another equally
authentic generic name of the Slavic race l mean

rived from sioro, word, Slorian'n the singular OF

to. In English we should say Slaronian or Slors-

Sayonans were in the habit of selling their prison
ers of war taken among that nation, and they adopt

Sclape as synonymous with Sidcontan, and Stare.
The Germans who have contributed SO largely 10
the barbarous Latinity of the middle ages, have al
so introduced into modern Latin the Sciact: the
Romans did not know the Slavonians under that
name at ALL From The same source the French
word esclore is derived but the French for Sla-
woman is lin Stare Thus you see, sir, the lmpro-

sense which is forced upon It either by The lgno-
