William the Conqueror did not introduce
swearing into England, but he brought
with him very forcible oath. William
was accustomed to swear ''by the splendor
of God," and on such occasions he com
bined with it the terrible aspect cf the
eyes" which always took the place of
swearing in the case of Sir Joseph Porter,
X. @. b. After Williams time the rulers
OF England, with possibly here and there
an exception, swore with great frequency
and vigor. 1t is related that even Queen
Bess, whose auburn locks did not belle
fiery temper, would break into string Of
expletives that would rattle the royal win
dows and frighten the household and royal
attendants from all sense of diplomatic re-
course.--New York World.

THE HOMELESS THOUGHTS.

Under the wild November sky
Blackbrls in eddying crcos fly;
The woods their glittering robes throw by
And plain to heaven increasingly.
Dark to the hilltop stoops the cloud;
Bold is the blast that shakes the proud;
Now loud. now low, now low, now loud.
The wenderers' call comes down to me.
Like these wild squadrons tossed on high,
Scattered, confused, they know not why,
My thoughts-a homeless myriad-fy
And beat the winds continually.
All that of natures stamp she wore
Whose bosom housed their wings of yore,
Rotting in earth, is mine no more;
May heaven restore her soul to mol
