The grand ball which formed the eliminating
point in the visit Of the Prince of Wales to the me-
ropols Of the New Worlds over, and it has proved
great success. Never before was seen within the
limits of the Empire City such an assemblage
OF genius, talent, wealth and beauty. The
scene was gorgeous and almost dag
zling in It's brilliancy, and our royal
guest and suite have now had q fair opportunity
Of realizing TO the fullest extent the magnificent
hospitality Of our people. II was such a mark Of
respect and good feeling as even the subjects Of
his Queen mother might not surpass; and New
York has in this instance every reason to be proud
Of the success which has attended her efforts 10 do
honor to our illustrious and distinguished visers.
But our readers shall judge for themselves from the
following panoramic view Of the whole affair.
Every precaution was taken by the committee TO
prevent confusion or disorder, and especial
care was devoted to the getting up and issu-
ing of the ball tickets. The manner In which the
japanese ball was carried out conveyed salutary
lesson, which was not neglected on this occasion.
The card of Invitation was just what II should
have been-simple, unadorned and unaffected. II

OLD SAXON WORDS,

Old Saxon words, cd Saxon words,
Your spells arc round us thrown;
fe haunt our daily paths aud dreams
With music all your own
Each one in its own power q host,
To icnd remembrance brings
The earliest, brightest aspect back
OF LIES familiar things,
Yours are the NILS, The fields, the woods,
The ORCHARDS, aud the srRGAMs,
The MEADOWS, and the lowers that bask
In the suns rejoicing beams
Mid them orr childhood's years were kept,
Our ehildhood's thoughts were reared,
And by your household toues its joys
We're ever more endeared.
We have rOamed since then where the myrt
bloomed
In its own unclouded realms
But our hearts returned with changes love
To the brave old Saxon ELMs,
Where the laurel, Ger lite native streams,
OF a doathless glory spoke;
But we passed with pride to the later fame
OF the sturdy Saxon OAK.
We have marvelled at the mighty piles
On the cd Egyptian plains,
And our souls have thrilled to the lovoliness
OF the lovely Grecian fanes
We have fingered Ger the wreck of Rome,
With its classic memories crowned
Bat these touch US not. as the Wondering walls
With the Saxon ivy bound.
Old Saxon words, old Saxon words,
They bear uo back with pride
To the days when Alfred ruled the land
BY the laws of him that died
When in one spirit truly coed,
And truly great, was shown
What earth has owed and still must owe
To such as him alone.
There are tongues of other lands that flow
With a softer, smoother grace
But the old, rough Saxon words still Keep
In our hearts their own true place.
Our household hearths aud household graves,
Our household smiles and tears,
Are guarded, hallowed, shrined by them
The kind, fast friends Of years.
Old Saxon words, old Saxon words.
Your spells are round uS thrown
Ye haunt our daily paths and dreams
With music all your own
Each one. in its own power a host,
To fond remembrance brings
The earliest, brightest aspect back
OF life's familiar things.

Mr.. EDIToR-DEAR SIR Having cast my eyes
on the Buglo, dated 3lst March, 1860, | took no.
tee OF a highly absurd statement headed, The
Scotch Thistle which terminated with the follow.
ing remark, The thistle was thcnceforward adopt
ed as the national insignia Of Scotland.
From time immemorial the national flag of Scot
land was the Lion, the same it is at this time.
Every nation in Europe has the figure of some
animal as their flag. Tho ancient Scots declared
that they were tho most valiant and war-like peo-
plo in kuropei that no other dare come against
them in battle array, man for man and if any
presumed to do 81, that they 1.-THE scots) could tell
the result before the battle was commenced. Aud
as the Lion was the master beast in the European
forests, they adopted him for their national emblem,
from time unknown to history.
But every nation had an herb as well as an ami.
NAL. The ancient Scots adopted the wild Thistle
from the same motives from which they adopted
the Lion.
Look at an expression Of Burns in his address
to Edinburgh
Wild beats my heart to trace your steps,
Whose ancestors, in days of yore,
Through hostile ranks and ruined gaps
Ciu OOOblu c DlOOuJ blUu DOT6,
Iii to me very strange the ignorance prevalent
in the United States concerning European nation
al affairs, and especially those of Great Brit
ain.
1t is generally understood in this country, that
the Lion was the flag Of England, whereas it new
er has been. In the year 1908. when the Royal
family of England was utterly extinct in Eliza
beth Plantagenet, James VI, Of Scotland was the
legal heir of the throne of England, The Eng.
lish had to submit peaceably to bis reign, or try
their fortune il war. The Echances against
them appeared too heavy. So they sent an Am
bassador TO him with a request that he would con
sent to come and assume the throne of England.
This man was not 90 destitute of national feel
ing as to lay aside his native flag and assume {
foreign one, SO the flag Of England, which was
Dragon, was laid aside, and the Lion of Scotland
continued ever since.
James VI created the term Great Britain, and
the Lion is the national Emblem of Great Britain
of which England is q part only, though the mos
considerable part.
The Lion Of Scotland was blood red in battle
and gold colored in the Legislative hall.
The above is we'll supported by respectable his
torians. If you see proper to give it room in you
paper, it 10 at your service. Some of your read
ers, would be entertained, and their views some
what corrected by it.

BEGINNING OF TIE FIFTH VOLUME

BEGINNING OF TIE FIFTH VOLUME
In assuming the control of the Atlantic Month
ly, its new proprietors deem it scarcely needful
to spend many words in assurances or promises.
The congratulations and good wishes they have
received from all parts of the country seem TO JUS
tify them In the confidence that their own char.
acter as publishers will be accepted by the numer-
Gus readers and friends of the Magazine as a war
rant that they will do everything in their power 10
increase its interest, to enlarge its circle OF attrae,
ton, aud to raise its standard Of ability in all
departments.
They think it proper to say, simply, that NO
change will be made in the general character OF
the magazine; that all the writers whose %contribu;
tons have established it in the popular favor will
continue to make it their medium of communica.
ton with the public; and that the relations Of ihe
publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantis
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value of its pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be,
q sectional journal. Its publishers acknc wledRs
no parallels of latitude in the Republic of Letters,
and, while they will judge of any article offered
them, not by the source whence It comes, but BY
its own intrinsic worth, they will at the same time
endeavor to maintain lis character us a periodical
10 which earnest thinkers may find expression,
unhampered by fear of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.
TERMS. - Three Dollars per ahnun, or twenty
nVe cents q numDer' upon the receipt oil the SUB
s~cription price, the publishers will mail the work
10 any part of the United States, prepaid. Sab
scriptiOns may begin with either the first or anF
subsequent number. The postage of the Atlantic
is t~hirty.six cents a year, if prepaid.
The pages of the Atlantic are stereotyped, and
back numbers can be supplied. :,
CLUBs.-For Ten Dollars the publishers will
send five copies Of the Atlantic for one year,

Clergymen, Teachers, and Postfnasters will re-
coive the work for Two Dollars a year.
Booksellers and Newsmen will obtain the term6
