Stree: oFztasfreIsy ira Scotland.

A correspondent of the Bound Table, in
a letter from Helensburg, Scotland, says:
"The manners and customs oflower class
es are not altogether disagreeeable. 1t is
indeed a considerable compensation for
much discomfort that one finds every even
ing male and female minstrels-generally
a violinist and woman's voice-singing
sweetly all the Scotch ballads. These are
the concerts that the people have here, and
they gather round these Ministries in large
crowds, nearly all giving penny or half

There is woman who sings every
evening under our window, who has such
sweet, beautiful voice that | am sure it
would have made her fortune had she been
born in Italy. She sings without ever get
ting out ofvoice, the dear old ballads OF her
country, and with an indescribable pathos.
She is seemingly the daughter of a grey
haired old man who goes about with and
accompanies her voice tenderly with his
violin. She is about twenty years of age,
and has a sweet, homely Scotch lassie face,
an unpretending garb. No orator ever
moved crowd more than she did when
last she sang Highland Mary .eu

Damascus dates back anterior to the DAYS
OF a braham, and is the oldest city in the
world. 1t was founded by Uz, the grand
son Of Noah. '9 '-e.' a~7 -e
1.-The early history of Damacus is shroud-
ed in the hoary mists of antiquity. Leave
the matters written of in the first eleven
chapters ofthe Old Testament out, and no
recorded event has occurred in the whole
to show but Damascus was in existence
to receive it. Go back as far as you will
into the vague Past, there was always a
Damascus. In the writings of every country
for more than four thousand years its name
has been mentioned and its praises sung.
To Damascus, years are only moments; de-
cades, only fitting trifes of time. She
measures time not by days and months, but
by the empires she has seen rise, prosper and
crumble to ruin. She is type of MINOR
tality.3 She saw the foundations ofBaalbec
and Thebes and Ephesus, laid; she saw
them grow into mighty cities, and amaze
the world with their grandeur, and she has
| lived to see them desolate, deserted and
given up to the owls and bats. She saw the
Israelitish empire exalted, and she saw it
annihilated. Sbesaw Greece rise and -four
ish for two thousand years, and die. In
her old age she saw Rome built; she saw it
oyershadow the world with its power; she
saw it perish. The few hundred years of
Genoese and Venetian might and splendor
We're, to grave old Damascus, only scint-
! illation hardly worth remembering. Da-
mascus has seen all that has occurred on
earth and still lives She has looked upon
the dry bones of a. thousand empires, and
she will iye to see the tomb OF thousand
more before she dies. Though another
claims the name, old Damascus is by right

Carolina, young lawyer moved that one
man in the company should be selected as
president; that this president, should be
duly sworn to keep entirely secret all the
communications that should be forwarded
to him in his official department that night;
that each unmarried gentleman and lady
should write his or her name on piece of
paper, and under it place the name of the
person they wished to marry, then hand
it to the president for inspection, and if
any lady and gentleman had reciprocally
chosen each other, the president was to in
form each of the result, and those who had
not been reciprocal in their choice were to
be kept entirely secret. After the appoint

were accordingly handed up to the chair,
and it was found that twelve young ladies
and gentlemen had reciprocal choices, and
