SIR,---

Quem Deus eult perdere, prius dementat.”’

To see children sporting on the brink of a precipice, or caressing a Cobra di Capello; to think of the degenerate Nobility ot France, about an hundred years age, danc- ing and singing on the very edge of the Crater of a revolutionary Voleano,—their Queen, the unhappy Marie Antoinette, playing on her Harpschicord that splendid Carillon which afterwards was prostituted to the fearful words of ‘* Ca ira!” and was the last Music which she heard on Karth, fer it accompanied her on her ‘ via dolo- rosa”’ to the Guillotine ;—all this is enough to set one thinking very seriously, especial- ly when something analogous to it exists at this moment. <A few dzysagea, | received a letter froyy a dear and early friend of mine, in England. a Gentleman of high standing and counexiens, rich, both im land and money, amiable and intelligent ; but, un- fortunately, a Whig. The following is an extract from his letter :—

‘* We have indeed had a complete change in our Ministry here. 1 own 1 had no idea of such a thorough defeat as the Consery- atives have met with.. [am not given to betting, but I took two to one that the Conservatives had any majority at all. I was sure they wenld lese a good mauy seats. People got tired of a Government after six yea's, and wish for a change. Some ace disappointed and grow lukewarm On the other nand, those who are eut of office are very keen te get in again. The present Government have a very streng majority, avd J dare say we shall jog on somehow ; but the change of feeling was brought abeut by the eleqnence of Glad- stone working on the constituencies, who had all been suflering from hard times, and were dissatisfied. There was no one else to blame, so they turned against the Govern- ment. Gladstone’s chief motive, in my opinion (though probably unknown to him- self) was hatred of Lord Beaconstield, and a belief that no one but himself could properly govern the country. ”

My version ef my friend’s words, would be that by talking stoutly while out of office, (and apologizing for the same on entering upon office,) and on the ground of personal hatred, together with & very ex- alted opinion of his own abilities, Mr. Gladstone has succeeded in tossing the destinies of Great Britain and her deépend- encies from hand to hand, like a shuttle- cock. If the crew and passengers of a ship were to elect a captain, to change him for another at their pleasure ; to steer first towards one port, and then towards another and another—what sort of a voyage would the said ship accomplish? What would be the probable fate of her owners, and the by no means improbable fate of the ship, crew and passengers, if in the varieus courses steered, the reckoning should be lost. and the ship strike on some unexpect- ed rock? Or, if a leak were to be discey- ered ouly when the ship was going down, and *‘ universal suffrage’ end in universal suifering /

There is frequently great ‘ruth and true Prophecy in Poetry. In Gray’s Ode to Eton College are Jines that may well be applied to the wealth and aristocracy of England and Scotland at this moment :-- ‘* Alas! Regardless of their doom

The little victims play ! No sense have they of ills to come

Nor cares beyond to-day : Yet see. bow all around them wait, The Ministers of human fate,

And black Misfortune’s baleful train ! Ah! show them where, in ambush stand, To seize their prey,the murderous band !

5

Akh! Tell them they are men !

and again ;

‘¢ Ambition this shall tempt to rise, Then whirl the wretch from high, To bitter scorn a sacrifice, And grinning Infamy.”

But, after all, Gray concludes with:-,

“Yet, Ah! Why should they know their fate, Since sorrow never comes toe late.

, And happiness too swiftly flies ! Thought would destroy their paradise. No more !—Where ignorance 1s bliss,

Tis folly to be wise.” [ am, sir, your obeadt. servant, View Diromnvit Nan Ord, June 18th, 1880.

An Awkwarp Position.—Very ugly rumors, as the new magazine, the Statesman, announces, are abroad in India concerning the jewels and plate, valued at about $400, 000 which are property of the Marharajah of Mysore. During the Prince's minority these articles have been. or have been sup- posed to bp, in the custody of our Indian officials The Prince will come of agea few months hence, and will then have a clain to his hereditary treasures ; but no one knows where they are.

An Iuurrenatirve Paracrarn.—Two teetotallers took the trouble to teach three tailors to talk Tamil.* The tailers,through taciturn, turned towards their teachers to tell them that talking Tamil tried their temper terribly. The teetotallers told the tailors that talking to their teachers tempt- ed them to teach them trigonometry. Those terrificd tailors then tremblingly tried to talk the Tamil tongue. Thinking that this tortured them, the teetotallers took the tailors to tewn to take tea. The tailors, thankiny them, treated them to tickets to the Tottenham ‘Theatre. The tailors tell the tale that those two temperate teetotal- lers then teok toddy together.

Servants and Masrers iN Hica Lire. —Last week I gave a “ scene from London low life,” this week I give you the follow- ing, clipped from the ‘‘ Gentleman’s Mag- azine :”

There has been much correspondence of late of thegrievance sort concerning menser- vants and maidservants. It is trite, indeed, to remark that there are faults on both sides, i. e , on that of the masterssnd mis- tresses, as well as on that of their depend- ants ;-+but how great and glaring they some- times are is scarcely creditable. Never- theless, the following examples can be vouched for,

A lady ef fashion, Lady A , was show- ing a friend of here, Mrs. B——-, the other day, a necklace of gold and turquoises, con- cerning which she requested her opinion. ‘*! think it is very pretty,” said Mrs. B-——-; ‘‘is it fer a marriage present ?’ ‘* A marriage present!” replied the other with some contempt ; ‘‘ it is not quite good enough for that; why, it only cost me fifteen pounds. I boeught it fer my maid, Julia, who is going to an upper-servants’ party at the Duke of C——’s to-night. I have got her a claret velvet dress which becomes her admirably, and with the necklace I think she will be—-what it is my wish she always should be--the best dressed maid in the reom.”

Mrs. B—— was too wise a woman to suggest that velvet dresses and tur- quoise necklaces were net perhaps the most judicious gifts that could be bestowed upon a lady’s maid; but, upon a subsequent oc- casion, happening to meet Julia, she ex- pressed a hope that she had enjoyed her evening at the Duke’s.

‘‘Yes ma'am, it was beautiful, and every- body was so polite. Indeed, Ive always found as the ‘igh-born servants is allus the best mannered,”

That use of the term ‘‘ high-born ” ina transferable sense is surely very pretty !

Again, an old bachelor baronet, Sir W. D~--, whse name has been long associated with London society, went up to Scotland in August last te shoet with the Earl of C——. On the second morning after his arrival, however, he announced his inten- tion of returning to town.

‘‘Goed heavens!” said his host ; ‘* why, you promised me to stay a month! Have you had bad news !”

‘“‘ No,” stammered the old buck, * it’s not exactly that; it’s semething that has happened here, only I’d rather not tell you, :

‘*Pray tell me,” said the Earl ; “it will not distress me, whatever it is, one-half so much as your leaving in this way without my knowing why you re going.”

** Well, the fact is it's my Charles. You know my Charles /~the mest invalable of servants, and absolutely indispensable to me everywhere. | conld not live a day without him.”

‘* Well, what of your Charles? What on earth can he have te do with your leay- ing us /”

‘* Why, this : you see, he cemplains—I’m very sorry, and | know it’s very wrong of me to have spoilt him se ; but the thing is done—he complains that in your steward’s room there is no champagne, and he can- not live without his champagne.”

“Then let him die!” cried the Earl ir- ascibly, *‘ let him die and be —-—~ !”

‘* Just so,” interrupted Sir William just in time, ‘‘ that is how it ovght to be, of course ; | knew you wouldn’t give way in the matter, upon principle ; no more wall Charles ; so I’ve got to go.”

Musicat.~ A. concert was given by Messrs. Saint-Saens and Ovide Musin at the Seeinway Hall, on Tuesday afternoon, was rendered interesting by the perform- ance of a sonata for piano and violin by M. G. Faure, a young French composer of promise. The work is not only musicianly, but the ideas are pleasing, and the harmen- ies distinguished by a certain wild and pathetic feeling quite individual in its way. The French element prevailed largely among the audience, and it was curious to note the difference in the general demean- our to that which prevails when the Ger- mans are in the ascendant. Then nota sound is heard until the close of the move- ment. Here applause and braves breke

forth at odd times, apparently without any
