"FoolScap." T"

Everybody knows what ''foolscap" pa
per is but few probably know how ii
came to bear this singular cognomen.-
When Charles lst found his revenues
short, he granted certain privileges, with
a view to recruit them, amounting to mo-
nopolies, and among these was the manu-
facture of paper, the exclusive right OF
which was sold to certain parties, who
grew rich and enriched the Government
also at the expense of those who were
obliged to use paper. At this time all
English paper bore in water marks the
royal arms. The Parliament under Crom-
well made jests of this law in every con-
ceivable manner; and, under other indig-
mites to the memory of King Charles, it
was ordered that the royal arms be re-
moved from the paper, and the fools
cap and bells" to be substituted. These
in their turn, were also removed, when
the Rump Parliament was prorogued :
but paper of the size of the Parliament

The True Soldiers Exemplar.

Il send you," wrote Nelson, my plan
of attack, but it is to place you perfectly
at ease respecting my intentions, and to
give full scope to your judgement for car
rying them into effect. We can my dear
Coll, have no little jealoussies. We
have only one great object in view: that
of annihilating our enemies, and getting
a glorious peace for our country" Those
words of British Admiral almost sixty
years ago, might have been said, ought to
be felt, by every Federal General, this
blessed evening. But hear the rest. Col :
lingwood, before the battle of Trafalgar,
had come on board the Victory" to hold
final conference.
Coll" said Nelson, where is your
captain? ?"
1.-THE fact is" answered Collingwood,
"we are not on good terms with each 9th
err"
Terms !" exclaimed Nelson mot on
good terms with each otherl I'll soon ar
range that"
Accordingly, a boat was dispatched to
the 'Royal Sovereign" and the Captain
was brought on board the Victory" As
soon as he reached the deck Nelson led
him to Collingwood.
Look" said Nelson, '.yonder is the enc
my !"
Yes" they both replied.
"Well," he added, "shake hands ike
Englishmen."
Need we say those two men had no en-
emies that day but France and Spain ?
Hay we say, that the soldiers of our
eighteen Federal armies should only need
to look in rebels face to be brothers-in
arms, self-forgetting, earnest, ardent, eve

A Corsican Feud.

A Vienna (Tenn,) correspondent of a
Cincinnati paper writes:-A strange fami-
ly feud, quite Corsican in its nature, came
to light some time ago, while we were at
Cunnigham's Ford. There were two fam
lilies, Bentley by name, residing there
These brothers had not spoken to each
other for forty years. They nor their
families have had any intercourse what
ever: never recognized each other: there
they had resided, side by side, farms adj
joining. One could not 60 to church, or
meeting of any kind, or to town, without
passing his brother. While we were
there the elder brother died, and he was
buried by his children. The other fami-
ly knew nothing of it until told by our
soldiers. The cause of the estrangement
was that in dividing the land left them
more than forty years ago, one claimed
that the line was drawn some ten feet too
far south, thus losing to the other about
six acres of ground, the value at that
time being about twenty-five cents per
acre. This feud is now an inheritance,
we suppose, to be handed down for ever.

A Russian Funeral.

The burial of the dead is picturesque
and interesting ceremony in Moscow. A
body of priests, dressed in black robes
and wearing long boards. take the lead
in the funeral cortege, bearing in their
hands shrines and burning tapers. The
hearse follows, drawn by four horses
Black plumes wave from the heads of the
horses, and flowing black drapery covers
their bodies and legs. Even their heads
are draped in black, nothing being per-
ceptible but their eyes. The coffin lies
exposed on the top of the hearse, and is
also similarly draped. This combination
of somber plumage and drapery has a
singularly mournful appearance Priests
stand on steps attached to the hearse,
holding images of the Saviour over the
coffin, others follow in the rear. comfort
ing the friends and relatives of the de-
ceased. 4 wild and monotonous chant is
sung from time to time by the chief
mourners, as the procession moves toward
the battle-ground. The people cease
their occupations in the streets through
which the funeral passes, uncover their
heads, and bowling down before the ina
ges borne by the priest. utter prayers for
the repose of the dead. Fhe rich and the
poor of both sexes stand upon the side
walks and offer up their humble petitions.
The deep tongued bells of the Kremlin
ring out their solemn peals, and the
wild and mournful chant of the priest
mingles with the grand knell of death
that sweeps thrugh the air. All is pro
foundly impressive. The procession of
priests with their burning tapers the
drapery of black on the horses the cof-
fin with with its dead the weeping
mourners; the sepulchrai chant; the sud
den cessation of all business of life, and
rapt attention of the multitude; the
deep, grand and death-knell of the bells
the glitter of domes and cupolas on eve
ry side; the green-roofed sea of houses
the winding streets, and the costumes of
the people-form a spectacle wonderfully
wild strange and mournful. In every
thing that comes within the sweep of the
eye there is a mixed aspect of Tartarie
barbarism and European civilization Yet
even the stranger from far-distant cline,
speaking another language accustomed to
other forms, must feel, in gazing apon
such scene, that death levels all distinc-
ions of race-that our common mortality
brings US nearer together. Everywhere
we are pilgrims on the same journey
Wherever we sojourn among men
The dead around us lie.
And the death bells toll"

A Beautiful Extract.

Some fifty years ago, Rev. John s. Mof-
fit, then in his prime, delivered lecture
which closed with the following words:
Phoenix, tabled bird of antiquity, when
it felt the cold advances of age, built its
own funeral urn, and fired its own pyre
by means which natures instinct taught.
All its plumage, and its form of beauty
became ashes; but ever would arise the
young-beautifu from the urn OF death
and chambers Of decay would the fiedg-
ling come, with its eyes turned to the
sun, and essaying its dark velvet wings,
sprinkled with gold and fringed with s:l-
yer on the balmy air, raising little high
er, until at length, in the full confidence
of flight, it gives cry of joy, and soon
becomes a glittering speck in the bosom
of erial ocean. Lovely voyager of
earth bound on its heavenly journey to
the sun
So rises the spirit bird from the ruins of
the body, the funeral urn which its Max
er built, and death frees. So towers away
to its home, in the pure element spiritu-
ality, the intellectual Phoenix, to dip its
proud wings in the fountain of eternal
bliss.
So shall dear, precious humanity, sur
vive from the ashes of a burning world.
So beautiful shall unchanged soul soar
within the disc of eternity's great lumin-
iuary with undazzled eye and unscorched
wing-the Phoenix of immortality-tak-
en- to its rainbow home and cradled on
the beating bosom of eternity,
