Religion in English Life.

Of every day religious expression in
England writer in Hearth and Home
remarks Scarcely family-at least
none who lay claim to any degree of re.
spectability-fails to have family service
at least part of the day. These devotions
are not irreverently rapid or tedious, as
often with us but are short, crisp, and
reverent. The servants come in bringing
with them their Bibles and the benches on
which they sit. Men who do not profess
religion, as it is understood among us,
seldom sit at meat without grace, as it is
here called. 1t consists of few words
such as, " The Lord make us thankful for
his Sons sake," or " For what we are
about to receive the Lord make us thank
full" AT her breakfast table, where the
Queen appears as the woman and lays aside
the queen, she frequently says grace. |
dined the other day informally with the
Lord Mayor Of London. He came from
the bench where he sits as magistrate
daily, laid aside his robes and triple gold
chain, which are the insignia Of his Office,
and approached the dinner table, around
which stood several gentlemen, In SIM
pie and unaffected manner he said grace,
and asked his guests to be seated.
Nor is this can't The merchants Of
London have an outspoken way of talking
of religion, as if 1t was no appendage or q
thing of which they need be ashoned
They gather in their counting-rooms fol-
prayer have clubs that meet weekly fol
studying the Bible go among the lowly
and neglected on Sunday gather little con
gregations where the regular ministry can
no: go, and form that great column, five
thousand strong, who on every Sunday gr
out to do among the masses their work TO
their Master.

Foul AIR.-Are housekeepers aware

SUNsTRoKE AND DRINKs.-Beware of

noticed that of the many cases of sunstroke
that occurred, not one temperance man was

Of the valley are laid out as public gardens

magnificent structure of artistic taste, costing
al5.000. From the castle situated ON high

Of all the prominent points of the city. The
craggy rock known as King Arthur's seat

squares and monuments, grass market where
in the times of persecution hundreds OF min
isters, mobiles and plebians suffered martyr
dom for the Struths sake" are some OF the
interesting localities pointed out to you.
While in the castle itself you see the monster
cannon known as "Mon Megs," the apart
ments occupied by Queen Mary and the room
where her son James vi, Afterwards James ],
of England was born. Descending from the
castle / went down the well known High
street, by st. Giles Castle; stopping at The
suot marked with stone in the pavement
with the letters j. K. supposed TO be where
John Knox was buried. The house occupied
by him is short distance beyond. Goingout
the Cannongate short walk brought me to
the ancient palace of Holyrood, which is in
the suburbs of the city. The rooms occupied
by the unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots, are
shown to visitors. They are in the same con-
dition as at the SINE the dreadful tragedy, the
murder of Rizzio the Queens Secretary by
her husbsnd Lord Darnley took place in 1865
| in. The secret staircase through which the
conspirators entered, the cabinet where they
found him, the spot where he grasped the
queen for protection, the stairca on which
he was finally dispatched and the bleod stains
ON the floor, are the silent mementoes OF this
cruel murder. The chapel OF Hoiyrood has
been injured by time. The walls are only
standing. The spot near the altar where
Queen Mary and Lord Darnley stood at their
marriage is shown. There are many other
interesting places in this old city that have
visited that have not space to describe.
