the presence of the Emperor. Then
Shah Jehan beckoned him to come
nearer, took him by the hand, and,
looking significantly at the Padshah
Begun, babe him name his reward.
There was breathless silence as the
young Englishman opened his lips. And
what was the price he claimed for his
services? He asked for no private
emolument; he sought no selfish adj
vancement; he simply solicited that his
countrymen, the traders of the East
India Company, might have liberty to
trade free of all duties in Bengal and
establish factories in that province!
What the Padshah Begun thought of
this unromantic request, or whether she
had ever dreamed of any such roman
tic termination to the episode as the
Grand Vizier had vaguely limited at,
history does not say. But Shah Jehan
himself was profoundly impressed with
the magnanimity and Iunselfishness of
the English surgeon, aud gave his SOL
emn word that the most ample priv
leges and opportunities, for trading
should be granted to the English mer-
chants. 81 81 s9scs ~

An American Scare in London.

Owing to alarming runners in the 10

rect complaints on the part oil some of

would appear, so far as particulars Of
the rumors and complaints are trace
able to reliable sources, that many OF
the passers-by in this busy thorough
fare on Friday afternoon last were
seized with something approaching
panic by observing in prominent letters
the word" dynamite" on a large num-
Der Of wooden cases then in course of
unloading from q VAN. As may readily
be supposed from the well-kno~n fear
fully destructive qualities of the article
in question, tho passers-by did not
linger on the way and the matter came
to the ears of the police. Hence the
ofacial visit to the premises yesterday
Afternoon. The boxes in question, 80
far from containing dynamite. really
contain cOmb honey, the entire label
running. Handle gently as dynamite,
as drop of one inch will cause certain
destruction to the contents" Such
was the method taken by the American
firm to direct special attention to the
necessity of care in handling the boxes.

Scottish Songs.

Every way you take them,-in au-
thorship, in sentiment, in tone, in Ian.
gusge,-they are the creation and prop.
erty of the people. And if educated men
and high-born ladies', and even some of
Scotland's kings, have added to the
store, it was only because they had
lived familiarly among the peasantry,
felt as they felt, and spoken their Lam
guage that they were enabled to sing
strains that their country's heart would
not disown. For the whole character
Of these melodies, various as they are,
is SO peculiar and 80 pronounced that

fish song has both a spirit and frame
work of its own. within which it rigor-
ously keeps. Into that framework,
these molds, it is wonderful how much
deep aud tender man.heartedness
can be poured. But 80 entirely
unique is the inner spirit, as we'll as
the outward setting, that no one, not
even Burns, could stretch it beyond its
compass without your being at once
aware OF falsctto note. 1t was the
glory of Burns that, taking the old
form of Scottish song as his instrument
he was able to elicit from it so much.
That Burns was the creator of Scottish
song, no one would have denied more
vehemently than himself. When he
appeared, in 17S6. as the national poet
of his country, the tide OF popular taste
was running strong in favor of Sc, ttish
song. He took up that tide of feeling,
or rather he was taken up by it, and lie
carried it to its height. He was nur.
tured in home that was full of song.
His mothers memory was stored with
old tunes or songs of her country, and
she sang them to her eldest boy from
his cradle.time all through his boy
hood. Amid the multifarious reading
of his early years, the , ook he most
priced was an old song book which he
carried with him wherever he went,
porting over it, he says, as he drove his
cart or walked to labor, song by song,
verse by verse, carefully distinguishing
the true, tender or sublime from affec-
tation and fustian. Thus he learned
his song-craft and his critic craft
together. The earliest poem he COM
posed was in his seventeenth summer, a
simple love-song in praise of girl who
was his companion as reaper in the
harvest field. The last strain he
breathed was from his death-bed in
remembrance of some former affection.

A Risky Experiment.

The elevator at the Parker House has
recently been fitted with an Ellithorpe
safety air cushion. for preventing the
casualties resulting from the fall of
elevator cars, and yesterday q trial of
the apparatus took place, which re-
suited in q pretty bad shaking up of
several persons, and o pretty bad scare
to the occupants of the building. The
patent is based upon the principle that
air is nearly incompressible, and,
roughly speaking, consists in having
the elevator car fitted, by means of Q
rubber packing nearly air tight in the
we'll which is also made alright. with
the exception of few passages left so
that the air can flow out and let the car
down gradually, the expectation being
that If the ropes should break, the cum
ulative pressure of the air under the
car Will stop it before it reaches the
bottom and only allow it to glide slowly
down. The apparatus has been fitted
to the Parker House elevator, but
through some carelessness on the part
of the builders the frame of the lower
door was not examined to ascertain its
strength, though extra thick glass was
placed in the windows of the door, and
the result was that when the Boston
agent of the patent and several other
gentlemen entered the car at the top of
the building and had the rope reversed,
allowing the car to fall the whole
eighty feet to the ground floor, the
pressure OF the air, when the car
reached space between the first and
second stories, blew out the door,
transom, and the whole framework
around them, and precipitated the car
to the bottom of the we'll, shaking up
but not seriously injuring the occupants
of the car, and breaking considerable
crockery and glass, breaking the plas.
ter on the walls of the cafe in the base
nent, and badly soaring the inmates of
the room. The eight gentlemen who
were in the car were badly shaken up
and more or less bruised, but not seri.
ously injured. When they emerged
from the car they were covered with
dust and dirt, some of them were
stained with blood fro'u cuts on the
head and other parts of tine body caused
by the falling of the chandelier and
breaking of the mirror in the car.
The crash, the dust, the knowledge
that a somewhat risky experiment
was to be made, attracted scared
crowd OF all the occupants of the
building from private rooms, parlors,
dining room and kitchen, all eagerly in.
curing if anyo was hurt, while the
report that Parker's elevator had fallen
drew in large ami curious crowd
from the street, and for few minutes
there was scene Of great excitement,
until it became known that no one was
seriously injured. Considering that
the car fell eighty feet. the fact that the
injury to the elevator car and to those
in it was SO slight is certainly fact in
favor of the patent. 1t is the testimony
of all in the car that when it got into
the space which is fitted air tight to
the car, which extends to the second
story, its speed was checked, and al.
most stopped until the door gave way.

The First Sewing Machine in Eng
land.

In the days when the sewing. ma
chine was in its earliest infancy, u lady
residing in India imported one, and for
a long time kept its mysterious work
ing hid from the ken of her native
tailor. This functionary was the slow
est of his proverbially slow "cast,"
and wasted no end of time drawing
over hem and stitch. One day his mis-.
tress comes to him arm. laden with
yards upon yards of some dress fabric.
"Dirzee," says she, "how long will it
take you to run these breadths to,
gether?' Tree day, Missis," replies
Dirzee. "Missis, please, plenty too
much work" "Three days? Nonsense {!
Three hours, you mean. You are a
very lazy man, and I'll cut your pay.
Give me the stuff; Ill do it myself"
Then the lady retires to her boudoir,
from the Utmost penetralia of which u
sharp and continuous click and whirr
reach the tailor's ears. He can't make
out what the sound is, and he is much
too lazy to speculate on it. He con-
tinues to "chew betel," and yawn.
ingly to ply needle and thread. After
an hour or two, " Missis comes back,

to finish this, and l have done it al

the drapery, examines the seams, scru-
tinizes the stitch, and satisfies himself
that all is proper and according to
tuilors' rule. He is COMPOUNDED. 1t
passes his understanding. There lies
the work done and no mistake. But
how? He springs up from the mat on
which he has been squattipg; lie kicks
over the little brass vessel which holds
his drinking water; he scatters right
and left thread, needles, thimble; he
stops not to put on his sandals or to
adjust loosened turban and waist cloth.
Scared and bewildered, he runs for
very life into the bazaar, shouting as he
goes along: "Shitan shitan! (The

Under the Daisies.

1t is strange what deal of trouble We take,
What sacrifice most o. Us are willing TO make,
How the lips will smile while the heart may

And We bend to the wsys OF the world
For the sake Of its few aud scsnty praises,
And time runs Oh with suca pitless flow

What work to finish, before we 60
To our long home under the daisies.
And go often We fall in useless fright,
For wrong is SO much in the place of right,
And the end is SO far beyond our sight,
It's as when one starts ON - chase by night
An unknown course pursuing;
Even SO do We when our race il run,
That all VIC have struggled for little is won,
And Of all the work our strength has done,
How little VAS worth the doing
So mos, Of us travel with very poor speed,
Failing in thought where we Conquered in
deed,
Least brave in the hour o: greatest need,
And making riddle thai few may read
OF our liie's intricate mdz:s,
Such labyrinth OF right and wrong,

Should fal,er at last, ..and most earnestly long
For calm sleep under the daisies.

His kindness sn,oot'.ed n.y lJe's rough orav,
And the tear fail over tie lifeless clay,
We shall stand up in heaven in brighter array,
Than if all earth rung with our praises.
