Forty Years in Prison.

The Edinburgh Scotsman says:
 There died recently in the Edinburgh Royal Inirmary, the well-known Edin- burgh character, Alexander Merrilees, better known by the soubriquet ot "Sal- ly Kelly" Of the eighty-two years of his life, this singular person spent more than forty years in prison, and for the past half century has been considered a pest by the police authorities, having been convicted at the police court about three hundred. and fifty times. Upward of sixty years ago he came to Edinburgh from his native town, Musselburgh, and commenced career of dissipation, which continued until he entered the infrmary not>long since. He never learned any trade, but occasionally did odd jobs for any one who would employ him. He used to sing in High Street, Canongats, and other frequented thoroughfares, to groups of people, who gave him coppers to encourage the flow of his jokes. It was from one of his tavorite songs that he acquired the sobriquet by which he was generally known.
 When not in prison he spent his nights in the muster room at the police office and when for misconduct he was elected, as was often the case, he would adjourn to one of the cellars of the building. One of the last offences he committed was that of stealing some tools belong ing to workman who had been making some repairs in police cell. "Sally " knew the history of all the governors ot the jail for the past half century, and was thoroughly acquainted with every part of both the old and new prison. When sent to the poorhouse or the house of refuge he would not remain, as he used to say the treatment he received in prison was far superior.

CoNsEQUENoEs.-This is quiet game. All assemble around table. Each per- son must have half, sheet of note paper and a pencil. All are requested to write an adjective expressing either a good or a bad quality in mans character. Each one then turns over and creases down the place written upon, and all change papers. Each one then writes gentleman's name, and turns it down, and all change papers again. Then another word ot quality applying to lady, is written, and all the papers are turned down and changed as before. Then Q lady's name is written Then place where they met; then what he said to her then what she said to him then the "consequences. The paper must be turned down every time and changed, and no one must read what the others have written. When all are finish. ed, some person collects. and reads the papers. Some are absurd and others happen very correctly. For instance they might read thus "The clumsy Mr. Snooks met the beautiful Mss Primrose at a ball. He asked her if she liked turniPs; she sighed and hung her head and said, If ma is willing He gave hel a bouquet she gave him box on the ear. The consequences were too sad tc relate.'

The Twins.

From a beautiful lake in the mountain Two rivulets came dswn, With a rustic and flutter like ribbons of blue By delicate breezes blown. o'or beds of golden lustre
 In the shadow of rock and tree, They sang tho same tunes with their silver,
 tongues
 And clapped their hands in glee. O'or rocks with mosses mantlod They edded and whirled like a waltzing pair Till hand in hand with laughter and leap They mingled their misty hair Der the self-same lodges,
 Singing the self-same tune, They passed from April to breezy May Toward the fields Of June. They whirled and danced and dallied, And through the meadows slid, Till under the same thick grass and flowers Their future course was hid. I saw two beautiful children
 Of one fair mothor born, Like two young clouds of golden hue That smile on the breast of morn. Tho same in ago and beauty,
 The same in voice and size The same bright hair upon their heads, The same blue in their eyes. Singing the same song ever
 In the self-same silvery tune, They passed from April into May, Toward the fields of June. They whirlod and danced and dallied, The beautiful vales amid, Till under tho same thick leaves and flowers Their future course was hid.

Charles Dickens and his Wife.

A story reaches us from London which will be read with eagerness by all who are interested-as who is not ?-in the life of the late Charles Dickens. Under ordinary circumstances it would be rightly deemed beyond the ken of Q public journal, but MT. Dickens's own deliberate choice made his separation from h1s wife public topic, and it would be affectation to keep out of print gossip which, though at present that of an in- her circle, is sure to become very soon the common talk of literary society. The rumor is that Forster's "Life of Dickens," vol. 2. which the world is anxiously expecting, hangs fire. The biographer thinks that he ought to tell the story of the separation of Dickens and his wife, and of course is disposed to throw all the blame of the separation upon Mrs. Dickens. But young Dick ems, who, it is said, always sided with his mother in that matter, and thinks that but scant justice was done her by his father when the matter was made public, says that if amends be not made to her by MT. Forster, "plain unvar- nished tale'' shall be published in Al The Fear Round. How the matter will end it IS impossible to foretell. Per- haps the best way would be to leave the tale untold, if young Dickens would con- sent to that course. At all events, one cannot but admire this young man affection for his mother, and his chival. rous determination that at all cost to the reputation of his father her good name shall not be blurred.
 It will be remembered that Walter Savage Landor suddenly separated from his wife and never saw her again. MT. Forster in his biography of Landor hur- ries over the business swiftly, like ska. ter over dangerous ice, but he manages to throw the blame rather upon Mrs Landor than upon his hero. But hay. ing rendered this biography and got a pretty correct notion of this hero-his extreme instability, his lofty notion o1 himself, his craving ambition for hom- agine that the offense of his wife, who lady, was very slight. Mir. Forster SC tells the story as to make the world be- lieve that certainly Mrs. Landor was most to blame, but it is questionable whether MT. Forster, in dealing with contemporary heroes, does not carry hif worship to the verge of funkeyism Better leave the story of Dickens anc his wifo untold if the son would consent to it. But perhaps he will not perhaps he has long felt the injustice to his moth CT ranking in his breast and is now de tsrmined to have the truth published If so there will at least be one advantage the revelation will put 0 welcome enc to the vexatious disputatio1s and impro bable exclusive explanations which arc always forthcoming at dinner tables and elsewhere when the name of Dickens il mentioned.

The Northwestern Boundary.

The United States minister at Berlin, Mr. Bancroft, writes home that the three experts to whom the American memorial on the Canal De Haro and the British case were referred have made, each for himself, very elaborate report on the question, supporting their opinions by reasons stated with technical precision ard exactness. The Emperor William has also, with the highest sense of official duty, given his personal attention to the subject, and, after the most careful study and deliberation, he has arrived at con clusion satisfactory to his own sense of justice. The reports of the experts, with reasons, have not been communicated to us.
 The decree of the imperial arbitrator, which has been communicated, has the form not so much of decree in council as of Cabinet order. It does not enter into any elaborate exposition of the de- cision, but, without diverging in the least from the point presented for arbitration, decrees that the claim of the United States of America is most in accordance with the true interpretation of the Treaty of June 15, 1846.
 This despatch of Minister Bancroft an nouncing that Emperor William had de- creed that the United States was right in claiming the Canal de Haro as the bound ary line between the British and American territory has excited much comment. The jurisconsuls several weeks ago concluded that in equity the claim of the United States was just, and here may properly be introduced the recital of sn act of international courtesy. After the claims of the United States were fairly presented Bismarck sent number oi naval officers abroad to observe the pro- most experienced officers were ordered to the United States. The subject of the San Juan boundary was introduced at c social gathering, and became the subject of conversation. During the discussion the question was asked by the Prussiar naval officers as to what importance the island of San Juan was to the United States, in view of the fact that this country was not supposed to be in favor of the acquisition of territory. The reply was that if the claim of Great Britain was sustained, Her Majesty's government would control all the available channels 1T that portion of the territory. One of the officers promptly said " From what know of the question, that would not bt equitable. It would give Great Britain the control of at least territorial ground and possibly an advantage in future inter national disputes" The value of th' island as territorial acquisition has nevel been broached, but the officers of th' Engineer Corps, who are supposed tc have an eye simply to the interests of tho United States, have always claimed tha the island Of San Juan was necessary tt the United States as @ strategical point " r P0peT

Twenty Years Younger.-To say that hun dreds of maids, wives and widows look twenty years younger than they are in consequences of the conn pexional freshness derived from the use of HAaANs MAGNOLIA BALM is simply to state absolute fact, which might be promptly verified by direct testi- mony if ladies willing to tell their ages to use the best means of making themselves lovely. Nature sometimes but very rarely crowns the charm of perfect features with complexion of exquisite clearness but even then time soon begins to make inroads upon the velvet cheek, the fair white brow, the ivory bust, the rounded arm. To preserve the glory of woman" unblemisbed, even after the meridian of life has been passed it is only necessary to daily this cooling healthu vegetable prepara tion.-ICom.l

A State Ruled by Women.

Among the Holland possessions there is remarkable little State which, in its constitution and the original customs oi it's inhabitants, surpasses the boldest dreams of American emancipation ladies' Upon the island of Java, between the cities of Batavia and Samarang, lies the little kingdom of Bantam. Although trib- utary to Holland, it is an independent State, politically without importance, yet happy, rich, and since time immemorial sovereign is indeed man, but all the rest of the government belongs to the fair sex The King is entirely dependent upon his state council, composed of three women The highest authorities, all State officers, court functionarles, military commanders, and soldiers are, without exception, of the female sex. The men are agriculturists and merchants. The boay-guard of the King is formed of the female elite. These amazons ride in the masculine style, wear ing sharp steel points instead of spurs. They carry pointed lance. which they swing very gracefully, and also musket, which is discharged at full gallop. The throne is inheritable by the eldest son, and in case the King dies without issue a hundred elected amazons assemble, in or der to choose a successor from among their own sons. The chosen one is then proclaimed lawful King. The capital city of this little State lies in one of the most picturesque parts of tho island, in fruit less plain, and is defended by two we'll kept fortresses.
