A WRITER in a London magazine this
month says; !" / am not naturally in

empt from that morbid curiosity which
takes an interest in every detail CON
nected with the royal family; but still
| should like to know where the Queen
gets her India shawls from. | don't

gent street or Waterloo Place, for

bat ! should like to hear how she comes
by the thousands which she evidently
has on hand. They do not form part
of a tribute paid to her as Empress of
India, because she has always possessed
the same superfuity of this article, some
specimen OF which she is nevertheless
always giving away. / don't think that
any girl of high rank has been married
in England for the last quarter of cen
fury who has not had shawl from the
Queen. 1t always stands at the head of
the list of presents published in the
Morning Post: From the Queenga
beautiful India shawl" These shawls
have for some time been joke in En-
glish high life; it being shrewdly sus-
pected that her Majesty, whose presents
are of the most frugal order, has some
mode OF getting consignments at very
low figure. But it is fair to add that
the shawls are extremely handsome, and
could not be bought under high price.

give us a new expedition. That popular
journal says Is France to have itsStanley ?
An undertaking as interesting and dar-
ing as that which has covered with
glory the celebrated American explorer
is being prepared under the auspices of
the Geographical Society, and under the
direction of M. Duveyrier. The object
is to cross equatorial Africa by going
up the Niger on the west side. with a
view of arriving, on the other, at the
Indian Ocean. There is large space.
on the border of which all explorers
have arrested their progress. 1t re-
quires person of strong moral and
physical character to enter such an enter
prise. A man of this stamp has been
found in the Comte de Semelle, a
Lieutenant of the French army. who
bears one of the greatest names of the
nobility This officer has passed almost
the whole of his life in Africa, where he
held command in a regiment of Turcos.
He speak Arabic fuently and number
OF its dialects. In order to struggle
against the dangers which most threat
ened his expedition he has chosen a
strong escort of strong Algerian soldiers,
all accustomed, like himself, to an
adventurous life, and to constant priva-
ton and fatigue. The Count will leave
France in a small schooner which he has
baptized the Saadia, or Happy Star. He
intends to establish in the most favora-
Bile position factory, which will form
the nucleus of a colony.

CMREsTsrAS TREE.

A flash of light, merry hum,
And peals OF ripping laughter sweet
The pdttering of tiny feet,
And, 10, the little children come.
A stately fir tree rears its head,
With stars and tapers allsa-blaze
And quivering in the fairy rays,
The glittering, loaded branches spread.
The childish eyes are sparkling bright,
And the childish hearts with Joys oerflow
And on that birthday long ago
They ponder with a grave delight.
Then to their gifts they turn once more,
And in the present sunshine lost,
They fear no future tempest-tossed,
But unto fairy regions soar.
No cares, no fears, a happy time
OF laughter; tears that cannot stay
An April day, year Of May,
Pealed in and cut with Christmas chime.

In the summer of 1864, party Of tourists,
while visiting the Alps, climbed, with great
difficulty, to an elevated and snow-coyered
plateau, in order to obtain better view of
Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness of midsummer below with the
bleakness and sterility of midwinter around
and above them. In play they rolled the
moist snow into large balls, they crowded it
over the edge Of the plateau In falling 1t
struck softer snow, which Immediately gave
way, and soon an avalanche was tearing
down the mountain side, burying and de-
stroying every thing III its course. AS the
handful of snow became the irresistible
avalanche, so the hacking cough with sore
