THE CAPTURE OF LoNDoN..


ed, the point to be aimed at by the invader
will be the capture Of London aud forstks,
very simple reason that it alone wifi repay!
the costs and risks of an attack. If Ports.
mouth dockyard were destroyed Deyen:
port would remain if both were. lost here
would be Catham; give all three TO amen.
emy, and we have Pembroke; letthens take'
all four, and England might stiii build
ships in the Clyde and the Severn aud the
Mersey by private enterprise; BETTER per.
chance, than in royal dockyards, the gun
boat failures notwithstanding. A15eoemy
would no. be likely to place himself pesua.:
nently on Portland Hill, or any other part
Of England, to capitulate andmake terms.
What might happen ifa couqueror wsSesso
get possession of the Bank of England, and
appoint General Of Division Governor
pro tenn, who would make the bank parlor
bis headquarters, and dsbid bis soldiers monp4
guard over the bullion vaults, it is difficult
to say. With London in a state ofsiege,
Provost Marshal Installed at the Mansion
House, park of Artillery ons Tower Hill,
the Royal Exchange and Gaildhall convert
edsinto military posts, and foreign soldiers
quartered upon the inhabitants, there would
be no Quotations Of Consols Oh the Stocks
Exchange, nor any of the usual telegrams
or leading articlesin the newspapers, The
Government would be powerless for any
thing but making terms whit the invading,
foe Parliament would be nowhere; martial
law alone would prevail our glorious CON- !.
stitutiou would be abrogated, aud the mon
arcby itself might be in jeopardy. The
day Of England's disgrace and humiliation
might inaugurate a saturnaiia of brutal
soldiery crime and misery, such as the i'm
giuation recoils from conceivihg, mlghtdes,
olate our hearth and homes; and destruc.
ton Of property to the value of untold mil
lions would iuvolvesparalysis of commerce, :.
death Of credit, stoppage of manufactures,
ruin of trade and dissolution of every, bond
Of law and society; nay, even this fnightfuf

The WAY THE ENGLISH BRING up CHILss

lren very different from the manner in =
which We bring up ours: They have an
abundance of fresh, outdoor air every day,
whenever it is possible. Thenursury maids

ID to the open air. We confus them too
much and heat them too much for vigor-
'us growth. One of the finest features of
he London Park isssaid to be the crowd of
nursery maids, with their groups of healthy
hildren tits SO with the promehades of
ur large cities to great extent, butt is
ess common in our country than it should
,e. .S2
In consequence of their training, English
iris acquire habitof walking that accom-
'anies them through life, and gives them
ealthier middle life than our own women
ujoy. They are not. fatigued with walk
f FIVE miles, and are not ashamed to wear,
'hen walking, thick.soled shoes, fitted for
he dampuess they encounter. Ralf of the
feebleness of our girls results
'om the thin shoes they wear and the cold
'et they necessarily have. English chill
rem, especially girls, are keptin the nurse
?, and excluded from fash enable society
nd all the friyolities Of the season, at an
&c when our girls are thinking of nothing
at fashionable life. e.a
