Chambers journal gives the origin OF
the national emblems, as follows:
THE ROSE OF ENGLAND.
In the early part Of the reign of
Henry W., about the year 1850, q few
noblemen and gentlemen were discuss
ing who was the rightful heir to the
English crown. After a time they ad-
journed to the Temple Gardens, think
ing they would be more free from inter-
ruption. ScacreIy, however, had they
entered when they perceived Richard
Plantagenet approaching. Unwilling
to continue the conversation in his
presence, q great silence cnsued. He,
however, asked them what they had
been so auxiously talking about when
no joined them, and whether they es-
poused the cause Of his party or that of
the usurper, Henry Lancaster, who had
filled the throne. A false and absurd
p%oliteness preventing their making any
reply, he added
Since you arc so reluctant to tell
your opinion by words, tell me by signs,
and let him that is m adherent of the
House Of York pull a white rose rs I
do.n
Then said the Earl of Somerset
"Let him who hates flattery, and
dares to maintain our rightful king in
the presence Of his enemies, pull a
red rose with me-"
When Henry VII. married Elizabeth
Of York, the rival houses were blended,
and the rose became the emblem of
England.
THISTLE OF SCOTLAND.
In the reign Of Malcolm l., in the
year 1910, Scotland was invaded by the
Danes, who made r descent on Alber-
d~eenshire, intending to take by storm
Staines Castle, IL fortress Of Importance.
The still hour Of midnight was selected
as the time for commencing the attack.
When nll was ready, and there was n
reasonable hope that the inmates Of the
castle were asleep, they commenced
their march. They advanced cautious
~, taking of their shoes to prevent
their footsteps being heard. They ap-
preached the lofty tower, their hearts
beating in joyous anticipation Of vic
tory. Not sound is heard within.
They can scarcely refrain from cxclama.

swim across the moat and place scaling
ladders, and the castle is theirs ! But
IN another moment a cry from them.
selves rouses the inmates to a sense OF
their danger, the guards fly to their
posts, and pursue the now trembling
Danes, who fly before them. Whence
arose this sudden change in affairs
From q very simple cause. 1t appear;
that the mont, instead Of being iillec
with water, was in reality dried up ane
overgrown with thistles, which pierced
the unprotected feet of tho ASSISTANTS
who, tortured with pain, forgot thei'
cautions silence, and uttered the or.
which had alarmed the sleeping inmntel

A nice way of overcoming bashful scruplcs
has been found in North Carolina. 1T recent
wedding, a guest proposed 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 de-
partment 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 reciprocal
y chosen each other, the President was to in
form each other Of the result, and the names
choice were to be kept entirely secret. After
the appointment of the President, communica
tions we're accordingly handed up TO the chair.
and it was found that twelve young ladies and
gentlemen had made reciprocal choices, and
eleven of the twelve matches were solcmnized

PRESIDENT JoHNsoN's WIFE.-Mrs John
son, confirmed invalid, never appeared in
society in Washington Her very existence
is myth to almost every one She was seen
at party given to her grand children. She
was seated in one of the Republican Court
chairs, dainty affair Of satin and ebony. She
did not rise when the children or old guests
were presented to her, she simply said: 81 My
dears, am an invalid :" and heI sad, pale
face, and sunken eyes, fully proved the express
| ion. Mrs. johnson looks much older than the
President, and her age does exceed his by
few swings of the scythe of time. She was
never beautiful, but an observer would say
contemplating her, "a noble woman--God'
best gilt to man." Perhaps it is well to call t.
mind at this time that it was this woman whC
taught the President to read after she became
\ his wife and that in all their earlier years sh
! was his counselor. assistant and guide.

THE BEAUTY OF THE FAMILY.-We leave it
to you if the 9 beauty of the family don't in
variably turn out" the worst one in the lot ?
If she don't cultivate the outside of her head
to the total forgetfeness of the inside? If she
is not petted, and fondled, and flattered, and
shown off, till selfshness is written all over
her? If she is not sure to marry some lazy fell
low, or some drunken brute, who will bruise
her body-or her heart to a jelly, and be glad
to come, with her forlorn children, for mOrsel
of bread, to the comfortable home Of that snub-
bed member of the family, who was only " our
John, or Martha, and who never, by any
possibility, was supposed by them capable of
being or doing anything? We leave it to you,
if the beauty of the family" be he a boy,
don grow up an ass? IF he is not sure to dis
gust everybody with his conccit and affectation,
while he fancies he is the admired of all eyes
-even if he don squander all the money he
can lay his hands on, and die in the gutter
We never saw very haIsome child of either
sex, set up on the family pedestal to the excu
sion of the other children that we did not fee
like patting these children on the head anC
saying, thank Providence, my dearS, that yOl
