One of the most pleasant of the old
romances about the tower of London.
is the story of James /. of Scotland, the
poet prince, who was kept there as a
hostage for his fathers good faith by
the English King. He fell in love with
johanna Beaufort, noble maiden whom
ne used to see from his window walking
in the garden. His love blossomed in-
to poem that would read well if one
had never heard that King wrote it.
When he came into his own, he married
the lady Of his window love. To be a
King and happy husband was too
much joy for one MIN, and he was soon
assassinated in his own palace. in pres
ence Of his wife and Lady Catharinc
who kept out the conspirators by bolt
ing the door with her arm, until they
broke the bone. His wife's arm would
have been little more poetical instead
OF one of the Douglass, slender and
true" though they were. A picture Of
this scene has recently been painted for
one Of the galleries Of the Houses OF
Parliament.

TO The LADIES,

Smllax, now so much used in floral
decorations, for trimming the bair, for
trimming party dresses, ETC., can, with
little care, be grown successfully as a
house plant. The seeds should be
sown in box or in pots in the house,
and should be kept moist till the young
plants appear. The seed being rather
slow to terminate, you must not think
it bad if it does not make its appear.
ance in two weeks. The young plants
should be potted off into three-inch
pots as soon as they are three or four
inches high. Once a year the bulbs
should be allowed to dry off and rest.
They will start into growth again in
about six weeks. The vine does rot
require the full sun, but will grow well
in partially shaded situation. It can
be trained on small thread across the
window or pictures. 1t is a climbing
vine, and will attach itself to a string
in just about the right condition to use
for wreaths, etc, or when required for
lighter work the branches which be-
come entangled can be separated.

When whirlwind occurs out at sea.
1T agitates the water contained within
Its diameter to such degree as fre>
quently to cause column of spray to
rise IN the air. If the sky is cloudy
the upper strata of the whirlwind acts
upon the lower clouds in precisely the
same manner in which the lower strata
acts upon the surface of the water. and
thus causes a column of vapor to des>
cend Immediately above the ascending
one. These two columns will. if the
whirling motion of the air continues for
any considerable period, become length
cned by the continuing pressure of the
atmosphere, will ultimately join them
selves together. What are termed wa
terspouts in island districts seem to be
quite distinct phenomena. They are
nothing more or less than very heavy
showers Of rain confined within mar
row limits. These showers may or
may not be accompanied with whirl-
wind motion Of the atmosphere, but
WILL of course, come nearer our idea Of
what 2 waterspout may be when it is
g accompanied.

A SURPRISE.

IS b e Is dead ~ They said to hiIn-"Come away
Kis her and leave her, thy leve is clay,
They smoothed her tresses Of light brown hair,
On her forehead Of stone they Lid it fair.
Over her eyes, which gazed two much,
They drew the lids with gentle touch;
With q tender touch they closed up WELL
The sweet thin lips which had secrets to tell.
About her brows and beautiful face
They tied her veil and marriage lace,
And drew on her white feet her white kid shoes,
Which were the whitest-no eye could choose:
nd over her bosom they laid her hands;
Some away, ".they said, "God understands"
And then there was silence-and nothing there
But the silence-and scents Of eglantine,
And jasmine, and roses, and rosemary:
And they said, "as a lady should he-les she;
And they held their breath as they left the room,
With shudder to glance at its stiffness and gloom
But he who loved her too well to dread,
The sweet, the stately, the beautiful dead.
He lit his lamp, and took the key
And turned it !! Alone again-he and she;
He and she But she would not speak,
Though he kissed her in the old place the quiet cheek
He and she. Yet she would not smile,
Though he called her the same she loved erewhile
He and she though she did not move
To any passionate whisper of love.
Then he said "Cold lips, and heart without breath
L ther no voice, no language of death2
Dumb to the ear and still to the sense,
But to heart and to soul observation-disclosures.
See now-I listen with soul not ear,
What the secret Of dying, dear?
Was it the infinite wonder ofan,
That you ever could let lifes flower fall?
Or, was it greater marvel to feel
The perfect calm DER the agony steal?
Was the miracle greatest to lind how deep
Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep
Did life roll back its record, dear,
And show, as they say it DOES, past things clear?
And was it the innermost heart of the bliss
To find out so-what wisdom love is :?
o, perfect dead! o, dead most dear,
/ hold the breath of my soul to hear!
I listen as deep as to horrible hell,
As high as to heaven-and you do not tell
There must be pleasure in dying-sweet,
To make you SO placid from head to feet,
would tell you, darling, if were dead,
And 'twere your hot tears upon my brow ehed; ,
Il a OUpI of has laid
His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid
You should not ask vainly with streaming eyes
Which of all deaths the chiefest surprise;-
The very strangest and suddenest thing
OF all the surprises that dying must bring.
All! foolish world Oh. most kind dead,
Though he told me- who will believe it was said?
Who will believe that he heard her say,
Nth the sweet, soft voice, in the dear old way;
The utmost wonder is this-I hear
And see you and love you, and kiss you dear,
And am your angel who was your bride,
And know that though dead have never died."

SINGULAR CAUSES OF FIRE.

We clip from an old paper the fol
lowing causes Of fire which, although
they were discovered seventeen years
or more ago, are we'll worthy reprint
ing at the present moment, and may
be as valuable as they are interest
ing
A gentleman observed that the tassle
OF his window shade was badly burned
from some cause which he could not
discover. Sharp inquiries failed to
bring him information. No person in
the house could explain the mystery
A few mornings afterwards, the maid
who was attending the room ran down
in great hasts, exclaiming that the
chamber window was on fire. An ex-
animation solved the mystery In front
of the window which looked easterly
stood shaving glass affixed to nova
BILE stand. A magnifying glass ON the
back reflected the suns rays, bringing
them to focus on the window frame
Whenever they struck the wood they
charred it. When first discovered, the
frame Of the window was blazing. Had
the fire extended, its origin would pro-
badly never have been disco vered, and
it would have been grouped among
those incomprehensible causes which
can find no other solution than willful
mischief or spontaneous combustion.
Druggists and chemists know, but
probably the average warehouseman
and mariner do not know, that chloride
Of lime and spirits Of turpentine, when
they come in contact with each other
result in combustion. In October
1856, schooner, lying at her dock in
Buffalo, caught fire, as was supposed,
from a lamp in her cabin, and was
nearly consumed. A chemist, who
was called upon to appraise some of
the cargo saved, found lying on the
dock number of casks of soda ash,
and also chloride Of lime (bleachipg
powder), all Of which had been involc, d
as soda ash. With these were a large
number of barrels of spirits of turpenS
tine. Inquiry developed that the
bleaching powder had been slowed in
the hold ofthe schooner aud the barrels
OF turpentinc slowed on top This ex
| planned the mystery. The chlorine lad
escaped from the casks of bleaching
| powder, and, being heavier than the
air, had occupied the lower part of the
vessel, gradually rising and drivin g, the
air before it, until it reached the barrels
Of turpentine. Here it came in con
tact with the vapor Of turpentine escap
ing, more OF less, from the barrels
Chemical union took place, producing
heat. smoke, and, finally, combustion,
which resulted in the destruction of the
vessel. The fire when first seen show
ed a thick, black, impenetrable smoke
issuing from the hatchways, which
upon meeting with the air turned into
bright flame. precisely as experiments
with chlorine and turpentine would in
dictate. This is an important item to
mariners and marine underwriters, as
well as to warehousemen and fire under
writers.
