TAKING OF LINLITHGOW
CASTLE.

WHEN Robert Bruce was lying in Tor
wood Castle, not far from Falkirk, a man
by the name of Binnoch, a farmer in the
neighborhood, who supplied the garrison at
Linlithgow, then in possession of the Eng
fish king, proposed to Bruce TO take posses
sion of the garrison by stratagem, which he
accomplished,
Having been introduced to Bruce at Tor
wood, Binnoch intimated that ne had some
thing of great Importance to communicate,
and inquired whether he might speak with
confidence. Being assured that he might,
he proceeded thus
"Aweel, sir, the business cam upon is
just this-I supply the garrison, We see, sir
o. Linlithgow wi hay; now Pve observed
that they're a wheen idle, careless fellows,

NEW PLAN OF COURTsHIP

AT wedding, recently celebrated, were
some twenty-five young persons, all of them
in condition which, for various reasons
they generally concured in regarding as UNI
desirable, viz, the anengaged One of the
gentlemen of the party suspected the preva-
lence among them of feelings, that might
be easily be exchanged for others infinitely
more fixed and agreeable. He accordingly
proposed the selection of President per-
son worthy of all confidence, whose duty it
should be to receive from each individual
folded paper inscribed with the name of the
person handing it i'll, and also with the name
of another person, of the other SEX whom
the first would be willing to marry. The
President, in addition to the restraints of
his own sense and honor, was to be put un-
der solemn pledge of eternal secresy. All
refusing to accede to the proposition, were
for the time to leave the room. Those whose
choice was reciprocal, that is, whose papers
contained the same twO names were to be
privately informed while the selections IF
the others were to remain undlsclosed. The
result was that the trial was made-all shared
in the eXperiment-and eleven pairs were
found to have made themselves happy, and
their several unions were subsequently con-
summated.

GOSSIP AND TABLE TALK.

A STORY ABOUT PANTALOON STRAPS.

STORY ABOUT PANTALooN STRAPS.
AN amusing incident is pleasantly recor-
ded in the following passage from letter Of
a down east correspondent -" Sancho
Panza says, Blessed is the man hat first in
vented sleep | do not say, Cursed is the
man who first invented straps on pantaloons:
but do say, Blessed is the man that first
abolished their USE In how many awkward
predlcaments have they not been the cause
of placing us! How much more free how
much more comfortable how much more
natural, to dispense with these pulling, knee
irritating monstrosities Is it not enough
that we have suspenders, or 'gallowses,'
as our juvenile nomenclature used to have
it-and very suitable name it was, by the
way--to bind us down to earth with the
pressure of the nightmare, but we must also
have the upward pressure of the foot-straps,
both drawing us together with the power of
twenty horse hydraulic press REBEL
For one, have dispensed with both suspen-
ders and straps and ] address you, Mr..
Knickerbocker, as a man of plain common
sense, discretion and age, to do likewise
But all this is not furthering the object of
my writing to you on the present OCCASION.

happy straps One of my fellow-passen-
gers was fat old lady, who suffered very
much from sea-sckness. More than twenty
times in the day the old woman would put
the good-nature of the steward, who was a
Jolly Irishman, to the test, by wishing to be
logged upon deck, and then below again
nsomuch that they used to call her Mrs.
Tee-to-tum. Sometimes she longed to re-
cline on the deck but then it was cold, and
she had nothing to wrap herself up with.

earlier than usual, having been prevented
from sleeping by certain serious qualms.
The door of both our state-rooms happened
to be wide open, and Mrs. Tee-to-tum, cast

THE STAR OF THE HAREM.
A TALE OF THE EAST

Ir was twilight in the East, and its golden
hues glanced athwart the sky that arched
above the CLASSY sea of Marmora while the
rising moon just tipping the gilded crescents
of the mosques, silvered the light waves of
the Bosphorus. Near its banks at this hour
sat a couple Of turbaned youths dressed in
the loose-made attire of the Armenian peo-
pie. On near approach it was easy to dis
cover that one was a female evidently seek
ing to disguise her sex, the youth by her
side being her lover, to meet whom alone
she had hazarded this exposure by the wat
er's side.
All, dearest Zillah, would that we had
been born far beyond the sea whence comes
yonder noble ship with those stars dotting
her azure flag, for in America, / am told,
that religious belief is no bar to the union
of hearts"
Nor should it be here, AL Hassan," re-
piled the gentle girl by his side, "did our
noble Sultan understand the best good of
his people may the prophet open his eyes. 4"
"Though | love thee, Zillah, far beyond
all else on earth, yet | can not abjure my
religion for thy sake, for at best we can be
here a short time only, and if / was unfath-
ful IN my holy creed, then could no lon
ger hope as / do now to meet thee, let what
may betide us, in paradise"
"And thus, AL Hassan, are you doubly
true to me, for though my father has educa-
ted me in the studied rules of Mussulman
faith, yet am far from needing such minu-
tia as would entitle me to bear the name OF
bigot no, no; love you the more that
you are true to your religion"
Zillah was child in years sixteen sum
mers had not yet developed their power in
her slight but beautiful form, and yet it was
rounded so nearly to perfection, SO slightly
and perfectly full, as to captivate the most
fastidious eye Her face was classically
beautiful, with Grecan cast of features,
and eyes that were almost too large and too
brilliant. The acknowledged children OF
the Turks can hardly escape being lovely
in personal attractions, for their parent who

A CELEBRATED writer of vaudeviles, be-
ing caught recently in shower, took refuge
under portco. A very pretty person -
lifted the window, and after looking at hmm
attentively for moment, sent servant out
to him with an umbrella. The next day,
the delighted author dressed himself up to
his last result of the problem of what was

one, laid it aside as a souvenir, and purchase
ing new one of the costliest taste, called
ON the lady to return her 6atterlng loah.-
She received the new umbrella evidently
without remarking the change, and after lis
tening with curious GRAVITY, to the rather
InowledGements, she suddenly comprehen-
ded that he was under the impression that
she was enamoured of him; and, forthwith,
naively explained, that, as he had stood in
the way of gentleman who wished to come

LILY DARCY;

OR, THE LAST SAD LOOK.
ny MRS. ELIZA D. W. PARSONS.
BRiGHr years had passed and we were friends,
Together smiled and talked
Hers was the only hand chose,
Whene'er danced or walked:
made no vows-I only thought
To bask in Friendships sheen
To sip the social cup of youth,
With bosom light and clean.
met her on that lovely glade,
Where we so oft had met
Though shadows spiead from rock and shrub,
The red sun glimmered yet
The violet meath the shroudng gross
Had closed her dewy eye,
The birds had ceased to chant of love,
For eve drawing nigh.
paleness rested on her cheek,
shade was on her brow
The smile that wreathed her radiant lips,
sec its sadness now.
With gentle words of pensive tone
My long delay she child,
smothcrng tears OF tenderness
Beneath her dropping lid.
"Lily," said, &C the time we've passed,
These pleasant happy hours,
Fond Memory will ever hoard
Within her sreenest bowers;
come to bid long adieu;
A separate path is mine
Blessings of joy, of hope, Of love,
Lifs's every bliss be thine 20
No word she spoke-no murmur gave,-
No sigh her bosom heaved,-
She stood like one by lightning scathed,
Of soul and sense bereaved;
Her quivering fingers in my clasp
All cold and clammy grew;
kissed her forehead, chill and wet
With drops of deathy dew.
Once, only once, turned to bid
Another kind faIewell-
Her look nf hopeless misery
Upon my hcait-stIings fell.
o! fool to think that aught on earth,
of splendid, great or rare,
Could with that simple, priceless gem,
pure, fond heart, compare
IN fiowery clmes-on barbarous wastes
On oceans storm-lashed breast,
sough, fvf wealth, for Honor's badge,
FoI Fanie's tall, starry crest
/ found them a--and trod the halls
Of titled rank and pride;
grasped the magic wand of love,
With Beauty by my side
Yet here, and at the festal board,
And on my silent couch,
That last sad took came DER my soul,
With strange and painful touch;
And then they told unconsciously
A spirit-hauowing tale
How Lily Darcy pinned away,
And none could tell her ai
They laid her in her persisted bloom,
Beside her kindred dead -
A whisper foated in my ear,
"Thou mads't her cold, dark bed!"
And now oppressed with keen regret,
tread the world alone
Affection, gladness, hope, have all
With youths last glories flown.
And Pleasures smile hath lost its SPELL
And garnered gems and gold
That last sad look burns in my heart,
Where all beside is cold
