Magyar Chiefs.
BY E. s. S. ROUSE.

The fercest notes that ever changed from tn

her history, could scarcely be sufficiently stern and
grim to express the sentiments of the warriors who
founded the Magyar state

INTO compact, which throws some light on their
general character Soma ~r:e's VI Irlpes was
foleTNreutary the supreme power rested in
Arpad and his family. The fruits of the conquest

this solemn agreement with mere verbal OATH
In the centre OF circle was placed rude vessel

chiefs of the tribes. Then Arpad, first barring
his arm pierced it with the point of bis falchion sl
the blood flowed into the basin of stone. The
chiefs of the tribes followed his example in success

Each man then put his lips to the warm bowl,
and quaing the mingled draft, they testified in the
presence of the high sun, which they worshipped,
their solemn purpose to conquer or lie together"

a CHANGE OF SENTIMENr.--The Aldgate church
in London has fund which was bequeathed to it
in the days OF persecution. Its specific purpose
was to purchase taggots, not to warm the cold or
prepare food for hungry poor, but to burn here

supply has now so far exceeded the demand that
there is no more room for slowing away the abun-

regard to the wrangling for seats SO common that
none could call any seat his own, except noblemen
aud patrons, each entering and holding the one he

1851 TO 1910, seats were more approprate--the
entrance being guarded by cross bars and the ini-

To KEEP PorAroEs.-Po atoes and other
root crops will keep well if buie above
ground. We know they are often lost put up
ln this way so are they in the cellar, and in
both cases for the same cause-want of prop.
er banking or covering to keep out the frost.
We have found, to our sorrow, that slight
embankment around the dwelling, or lew
inches of earth covering in the fed, is very
unsafe against such winters as the last two
Cellars are generally made too shallow, six
feet being considered deep enough, whereas
the depth should not be less than seven feet,
and seven feet an half is still better. When
roots are buried in the field, place them where
surface water will not stand in case of heavy
rains. Cover it with dry straw, well packed,
four or FIVE inches thick, upon which place Q
covering of dry earth, six or eight inches,
more or less, according to exposure. The
dryer the material-straw and earth-used
for covering the better. The straw acts as
a non-conductor OF cold and frost. Cannot
some of our readers tell us something new
about this m 'tter ?-4North- Western Farmer.

PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

rison Gray OTIS in horse case, the latter
sent him bill Of twenty dollars for ad-
vice. The client expostulated, but Mr..
Otis explained to him so fully and 50
blandly the reason Of such charge
how he had spent years and years in
study, and thousands on thousands fit
ing himself to advise in such matters,
that the jockey was obliged to capitulatc
and pay the bill. Net long afterwards,
Mr.. OTIS was Standing in the street exam
ming horse that he thought of purchas-
ing, and seeing his client passing, called
him up and asked him what he tho't of
the animal. The jockey set his hat
aslant, examined him on all sides. pro-
nouneed his opinion Of him dogmaticallv,
and then held out his hand for fee. It
was MIR. OTIS turn now to expostulate,
but it was all in vain; our jockey recoun-
ted to him at what cost of time and mon
ey he had fitted himself for judging horse
t1eSh, and ended by saying Come,
come, Mr.. Otis, professional bills must be
paid; my charge is only twenty dollars.''
Mr.. Otis appreciated the joke and paid
the bill.

THE Doom OF THE WoRLD.-What

which the system ofthe world is doomed

s.Dear MOfher.',

But Just now our eve fell upon these
precious words, the sole inscription of a
Stray scrap of paper on the desk of our
sssanctum." Who wrote them, matters
not-they may have been the heading of
q letter written, or one intended to be
written, but thrown aside ere it was be-
gun.
Magical words-tenderest and hottest
of our tender yet sturdy Saxon tongue,
which, among all the tongues spoken,
is pre-eninently rich in tende, and low
ing words-uttercd by every son and
daughter of man since Adam walked in
Paradise. Who cannot dwell upon them
with the rapture of living love, or the
delight of sacred remembrance
Dear Mother! 1t is the fond plant of
nursEngs--the gushing cry of childhood
and youth = the earnest utterance of
manhood, and among the fairest memo
ries of old age.
Dear Mother! Whether present or
absent or dead, yet ever present how
have those words, inspired by the tie
that links her most afectionately to the
human race, rung oyer The earth in notes
of Joy and triumph, or in chords fsorrow
and anguish. How have they brooded
in the deep places of the heart. begetting
the hottest emotions, the purest thoughts,
the sweetest recollcctions. From the son
away on the deep, clasping her parting
gift, the Bible, on his breast, or his own
heavy hands to a feyered brow, how have
the words "Dear Mother" sped over
lands and seas, until they found, and
nestled in the mothers heart From
the daughter parted from her home by
that other tender love, which babe he,
forsake father, mother, brothers and sis
tcrs to follow the young lord of her heart
how fondly the Dear Mother" has pos
ted back to the home-Eearth, burdened
with the fragrance of affection. From
beds of sickness, from goals of crime
from beds of misery, shame and renorse,
how unceasing have coma up those pre-
cious words, Dear Mother"
| How many warriors soul has breath
ed them out on the battle field; how
many a felon has uttered them from out
the prison CELL how many son and
daughter have sped them joyfully to an
nounce fruition Of desire, coal OF
triumph.
Whatever the path, and whatever the
fortune, the Dear Mother" has shared in
all the destines Of her children. She
has nursed them, she has trained them,
she has been loved, and mourned, and
remembered 10y them. The father may
have lapsed from the ch;ld's memory,
but the mother never Humble or high,
the tie has been equally tender. No soul
could supplant her. no being fill hel
! place.
1t was blood crying unto blood with q
deathless yearning-with longing which
no years could satiate. ''Dear Mother
on earth or in heaven-and if not on
earth, in heaven thou surely art, beauti-
FIJI among the angels-to thee thy love
and thy virtues, may our hearts be
| eternal monuments.
Enduring all, forgiving all, never wea-
ried, never hopeless, but LOVING on and
loving ever, amid sorrow and shames in
Joy and gladness and glory, thou art wor-
thy of the fond phrase "Dear Mother

which have made an idol On the conss-
Grated shrine of home, and wherever a
