through this circumstance England tenn
poraliy lost its historic great seal. His
ilrst care at the time of the great con-
migration. he told friend, was for the
great seal, of which the lord chancellor

during the confusion he buried 1t, me
next morning when he came TO reflect;
he could not remember the spot, ana
his whole family and retinue ofservants
were set probing and digging about the
walks and carriage ways until 1t was
found.
At Corfo Castle one is reminded that
Sir Christopher Hatton so loved the
place for its heRlthfulness that lie in
duced Queen Elizabeth to ALLEVIATE 1t
from the crown lands in his favor. The
ivy doesm cling thicker to old Heron
Court, the seat OF Lord Atalemsbury,
than do literary associations. The
founder of the family wrote "Hermes,"
perhaps the greatest tome OF reasoning
since the time OF Aristotle. When its
author entered the house OF commons
Charles Fox thought it no place for
him, for the great writer on grammar
and harmony was sure, in Foxs optn-
ion, to find "neither the one nor the
other" within that august body. The
late Lord Chancellor Cairns lived and
died at Bournenouth, and is splendtdly
remembered in the Cairns Memorial
hall. Among the heath hills OF near
New Forest, you may see tho relic tree
OF King William Rufus, and at stony
Cross Hill is the stone get up to the
memory ofthe same red headed rutfian
whom Tyrrel shot purposely or by acci'

Wimbourne, the wonderful old Norman
priory at Christchurch, and everywhere
along shore, among the chimes and caves
OF lilly Whin, mementOes Of smugglers

freebooters did a thriving trade be.
tween this coast and the opposite coast
of France. The coast guards many q
time found their match in these daring
fellows, and blood was let nearly as often
as brandy and tea were taken. The
coastwise folk believed smuggling no
crime, and one who lost his life battling
against law died tho heros death. In
Kinson churchyard you may still read
this inscription over the grave of one
who foil by the hands OF the crown myr-
midons: ITO the memory OF Robert
Trotmsn, late OF Royd, in the county Of
Willis, who was bnrbarously murdered
on tho shore near Poole the 24th March,
1905.

II there is shrine in England sacred
to the poet Shelley it is here at Bourne
mouth. He was born at Field Place, in
the County Of Sussex, and was drowned
in the Gulf of Spezzia in July, 1929.
His body was recovered and was inter-
red in the burial place at Rome for
Protestant strangers. Mary Wool
stonecraft Shelley, his wife, died near
Bournemouth, and was buried in Feb.
ruary, 1881. She was tifty-four years Of
age ut the time OF her death. Their
son, Sir Percy Bysshe Shelley, died two
years hence at the family seat, near
BournemOuth, whore his widow, Lady
Shelley, still resides. They had no
children, and the title OF baronet
passed to Col. Shelley, OF Avinton, near
Winchester. The latter is nephew to
the poet and cousin Of the son, the late
Sir Percy. In the quaint old Priory
church Mt Christ-church Head, at the
eastern edge of Bournemouth, may be
seen beautiful memorial to the poet
and lis wife. Its an exquisite marble
effigy OF Shelley, recumbent, supported
in the arms OF his kneeling wife,
