4 correspondent wants to know OF the
editor OF the Hsh World "When and why
did Scotland cease to be nation" and RI.
eeives this answer:
There are three phases in the decline of
Scotland. (l) Mary Queen Of Scots. took
refuge in England, and was imprisoned by
Elizabeth who became virtual ruler of that
country, which, in consequence, never made
an effort, during twenty years, to libcrate
Mary. (2l On the death OF Elizabeth,
James, the SON Of Mary, was placed, on the
throne OF England. Edinburgh ceased to
be the seat of government, and ScotIand
sank into the subordinate conditioned a de-
pendency of the Southern kingdom. t3l
The union Of Scotland, which was effected
in 100, by bribery and corruption, pre-
ciscly like that OF Ireland, was the IsSt
downward step in this melancholy process
of national degradation. The accession o
James I. to the throne of England was {
heavy blow and serious encouragement Il
Ireland which in former times and OLD
struggles, had firm alley in Independent
Scotland.

The road extends from Lake Eric to the

East and West in the State, and through

The OLD adage that If March comes in like

verified in the latter clause, as it is in the first
for March comes clustering in this morning
cold and fierce enough to safety any lion-like
nature. We have been clustered, bowed and
frozen since December, and now we begin to
long for tbaw, even as the Children of Israel
longed for the fesh-pots of Egypt. No news

himself as a help meet, Miss Dolhe Bly,. May
the lines fall to them in pleasant places, and
their lives float unsteady adown the stream of
life.

DRYTEHR II.


Departed this life the sth OF February, 1875,
MARY IRISH, aged 33 years, wife OF Justice
Irish, or Keller.
How many memories these few words call
forth. Gone the place that has known her
will know her no more but she will live In the
hearts of her friends forever. Those who
knew her best, loved her most. Very exem-
plary was she in her associations with her fell
lows-a good wife, sef-sacri6cing and pre-
eminently loving mother. Greatly desiring
to live. that she might teach her little girls to
grow up useful and respected women. How
we, as mothers ought to emulate her example,
teaching our daughters to be useful and our
sops to be honorable. OF a social nature, she
yet denied herself the pleasure OF social
gatherings, devoting her energies to the benefit
OF her family. She was purely womanly, never
aspiring after masculine honors. To be queen
IN her own home was honor enough for her.
Many times in the coming years will her hus-
band call her blessed she being dead her
works do follow her. Incomprehensible are
the ways of Providence taking mother from
her babes, and leaving the aged whose totter-
ing steps can scarcely support their trembling
frames. Yet we do not feel to murmur. We
believe the lord doeth all things well, and are
led to exclaim Though Thou slay me, yet
will trust Thee" The sincere sympathy Of
friends are extended to her gref-stricken hus-
band and helpless babes. Parents mourn
dutiful daughter brothers, q faithful sister
sister loving companion, and husband,
truly a helpmeet indeed. Early has she
finished her work here, and gone to receive her
reward Com.

The Kalamazoo Telegraph OF last Friday
contained long -winded editorial on the Judicial
Convention, in which the editor volunteers a
weak and incoherent defense Of the action OF
the Kalamazoo delegates. The effort Is very
weak, and quite senseless and untenaple, which
ia not TO be wondered at, seeing that the writer,
who was secretary Of the Kalamazoo part of
the convention, actually demonstrated before a
large audience that he was utterly incapable OF
counting beyond screen. He has been in the
State less than year, and is the editor Of the
Telegraph.

A letter from the vicinity Of Grand Rapids
says: We have had the most intense, intoler-
able, internal, all-fredist cold weather 1 ever
knew in Michigan. Two of our frut-growers
were out with thermometer the other day in
their peach orchard, testing the calorc, or abb
sence of it, where the mercury got down among
the big thirties-when one of them felt some
thing sting his ear. He gave good smart
brush to knock off the little busy bee," when
10 and behold, his ear itself lay in the snow
before him. lie picked it up, and very coolly
said to his companion, Come, Bill, say, let's
so home; things are getting too brittle around
here" These men are ready to contract for
their next peach crop at large discount.
