NOWHERE TO GO. Nowhere to go! These harrowng words. Lame from a maiden sad and lone; By howling winds as keen as swords Her fragile form and garb were blown. She paced the grim old streets and courts (With hanger pictured in her eyes), Those spots where savage want resorts, And hope, long baffled, sinks and dies. XlI" maiden ne'er had stained her name MV ith any orime, but long she pined 4" £ :t?n?9d the path that led to shame, Wtnie love jay perfect in her mind. wu 6 i'e8P c'ty> anc* Prond and vast, Where life's gr^at, currents crosswise go. Saw not this creature rndely cast Adrift, andjdying of tier woe. She heard the hum of restless crowds, While grief wag written on her face Iler'ra,,tR, like thin and tattered shrouds, Half-bid and half revealed her ferace. She yearned to catch some kindly eye, One face where pity might be seen For earth seemed like a darkened sky That shows not where the sun has been. She wandered long but died at last Of want and woe, yet no one cared; Her nlJcloiled eyes were h-avenward cast, And with a glassy Imtre stared Coli on the pavement stretched she lay, A marble pallor on each cheek Yet on her lips there to .(.emed to play A ioDfi and faint desiro to speak.

X.VLT.. - J_f —-A TOPOGRAPHICAL…
X.VLT.. J_ f —- A TOPOGRAPHICAL AM) HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION OF PEMBROKESHIRE, BY THE REV. THOMAS REES. (To lie continued.) The river Cleddau, the western stream of that name, on which" the town is built, is navigable as high as the bridge for ship" of small burden, and convenient quays have beeu constructed for the accommodation of the trade. Other commercial faci ities are afforded by the situation of the town on the great western road, having the London mail coach passing through it every day in each direction But these advantages have not hitherto given rise to much commercial enterprise. Haverfordwest comprises three parishes, St. Mary's, St. Thomas's, and St. Martin's. St. Mary's church stands in the upper part of the town. It is a large and nther venerable building, con- sisting 01 a nave, a chancel, and a side aisL- on the north separated froin the nave by a mnge of pointed arches resting on clustered pi lars. The nave and chancel are ceiled with oak divided into small square compartments, those in the former being highly ornamented with carved devices of knots, foliage, &c. At the entrance into the chancel are some ancient oak stalls, probably de-igned originally for the incorporated companies of the town. Within the chancel are some respectable monuments. The chief belong to the Philippses of Pic ton but none of them are of aucieut date. St. Thomas's church is placed on the most e'evated ground within the lown precincts.. It possesses no remarkable attraction to recommend it to attention. St. Martin's stands iu the viciuity of the castle, towards the middle of the town, and i< considered the oldest building of the whole. The interior comprise a long nave and chaucel, and a side aisle on the south. With the exception of one old monument I ut of a priest, it oilers little to detain the antiquary, There was formerly within the town, and situ- ated in the present Bridge Street, a house of Ulsick friars, which at the Dissolution was sold to Roger and Thomas Barlow A little below the town, in a meadow on the banks of the river, ar;1 the reluains of a Priory, founded and J endowed bv Robert de Hwlffordd, the first lord of Haverfordwest, for Black Canons of the order of St. Augustine, and dedicated to St. Mary, aud St. Thorn 's the martyr At the Dissolution 26 Henry the eighth, its anuual revenues were valued according to Dug- dale at £ 133 lis Id, or according to Speed at I' £ 13.1 6s Id. This also was sold to Koger and Thomas Barlow, who were large purchasers of church property at this period. This house appears to have been of great extent, as may be I seen by the ruins and foundations of wal s yet to be seen. The church was a large cruciform building, one hundred and sixty feet ill length from east to west, with transepts measuring about ninety feet. The tower rose in the middle, and was supported by four pointed arches. The win- dows wree lanced form, and seem to have been very handsome. The Castle, as before observed, occupied a commanding eminence above the river, and must, when perfect, h ve been a large and mag- nificent structure. The keep is the onty portion that now remain entire, and it is itself a noble pileof building. It has lately been converted into a coun'y gaol. From the castle a strong era- bittled wall once surrounded the town, in which were four gates communicating with the principle j thoroughfares. Three of those were standing a few years ago, but have now disappeared. The foundation of the cistle is ascribed to Gilbert de nare the first Earl of Pembroke. He l consigned the command of it to Richard Fitz Tancred, to whom he gave at the same time the seignority of Haverfordwest. Robert, the son of Richard itz Tancred, was the first lord of Haver- fordwest, and is sometimes called Hobert de Hwlffordd, from the Welsh name of the place. He is regarded as the founder ot the Priory. From this time the lordship has been held by families of distinction, and sometimes by the British monarchs. ( On th" northern side of the river lies the sub- urb of Preiidergast, where there are the remains of an ancient mansion formerly inhabited by a famdy of that name. Maurice de Prendergast was the last of the family who had the property. He accompanie<JvStrongbow into Ireland, where he took up his abode. The property afterwards fell to the Stepneys by the marriage of Alban Stepney, registrar to the Bishop of :-it. David's, to the daughter and coheir of Thomas Cathern, Esq., of this place The Stepneys transferring their residence to Carmarthenshire, the mansion was deserted, and allowed to fall into decay. Below Haverfordwest, at the distance of about a mile and a half stands Haroldston, another aucieut seat, once oocupied by a family of the first distinction in this county. The founder of this house was named Harold. Alice the daugh- ter and heiress of Sir Richard Harold conveyed it by marriage to the Perrott family, of which was Sir John Perrott, lord deputy of Ireland in the reign of Elizabeth. The house is now in a dilapi- dated state. Further down the river, and before it unites with the eastern stream of the same name, there occur some other objects of topographical interest I he first is Fern Hill, the seat of H. Mathias, Esq., pleasantly situated in the midst of some modern plantations. Beyond, on the northern bank of the river, stands Bullston, the elegant 11 mansion of Colonel Ackland. This is a modern house erected by the present proprietor, but there are in the grounds the remains of an ancient man- sion of great extent, formerly inhabited by a branch of the Wosan family of Wiston. The grounds are beautifully situated on the banks of the river, and are richly wooded. In" a field not far from the house are several barrows one of these was opened by Mr Fenton, who found it to contain a rude cist, in which were some half calcined brmes mixed with charcoal.* The village of Langwm, lower down on the other side river, much celebrated for its oysters, may be visited on account of its church, which c.mtams some ancient monuments. one in par- entitled to ih r Ve la Roche family, well herp hiw 0f the a^q«»ry. There is here besides a nitch for holding holy water of a sIngular aud elegant construction. t (esuming our route along the great western road towards Milford. a steep descent from Haver- fordwest brings us to Marian's, or Mawdlen's bridge, near which are some remains of an ancient building where a small religious es- tablishment is thought to have once existed, from which the present name of the place was derived. A few miles further n»ar Hip road, occurs Johnston, the prop-rty' of" T d Kensington and long the seat of his lnrrl«M«2 father.

The married life is the most natural and the happiest, or ought to be so. Among all na- tions, and especially among the Jews, under God's own Government, a state of ''single blessedness," as it is sometimes called, was alway regarded not only as a state of misfortune, but of disirnce. Marriage is an honourable estate instituted of God in the time of min's innocency. Let us treat it accordingly. Bv jesting about it, and making light of it, we seem to profane thnt which God has sanctified, and to cast coitempt upon that which he has honoured.—Leisure Hour.
RE-ADMISSION TO JUDAISM OF…
RE-ADMISSION TO JUDAISM OF A CHRIS- TIAN CONVERT. On Friday last, in the ancient Portugese Synagogue, Bevis Murks, after the afternoon service, during which the Jews prepare themselves for tbe austero DiV of atonement by words of contrition and general confession, a young Jew, from Jaffi, named Joseph Hnzan, who three years ago consented to become a Cbiistian, but who was unublo to remain out of the pa!c of Judaism, was, after having humbled himself by penitence and performed the es'ahlishud rites, pub li. ly received again among the Jewish community. He ascended the Tehah (reader's tribune), and there, with joined hands and eves full of tears, pronounced the form of confession in Hebrew, acknowledged his KTCf!1 sin, and earneittly prayed to (iod to pardon him. He was next addressed by the Chief Rabbi of thp congregation, Dr Aitom, who sp"ke as follows;- You havt just performed an act the just imp rtin< e of which I trust you appreciate and will always remem- ber. You have humbled yourself before God in the pre»enca of the congregation. You have confessed yonr guilt and asked to be pardoned. You have in- deed committed a terrible sin—that to which our glo* riouf ancestors preferred a thousand times torture and (?->ath. Unable to bear the borden of poverty, you have brought yourself to abandon your religion, to sell your soul fur a handful of money. But you have expressed deep and sincere repentance you have ag- sorted vour unshaken belief in the doctrine of Juda- ism. You have entroa'ed me to readmi' you amon^ your former brethren. Minis'er of a religion of mercy I grant yotir request. Yet <tm1 alone l'an nee if you bive nele(I with purity—whether you have been true in your promise henoeforward to be devotedly attached to the rel'gion of your fathers. The ceremony of purification, which you have undergone has affected your body onlv. Vour real purification must be achieved by your soul, through the sincerity of your regret, the truth of your confession, the firmness of your resolution, to be a better Jew than you have been in the past. Remember that a great crime oalls I forth a great reparation, that it will b" your duty to be even more religious than your reproacbless brethren. New, go in peace, and may God who opens his hand to receive "those who return," be merciful to you, strengthen vour heart in the fulfilment of your obliga- tions, endue you with the virtue of-perseverance, aad reward you if you keep your promise and are faithful to your oaths. This episode, which took the congre- gation by surprise, created a profound impression.
LORD KtMBERLKY ON THE POOR…
LORD KtMBERLKY ON THE POOR LAW. On Satllrdu L rd Kimberley and M r C. S. Reed. attended a meeting of the Norfolk Chamber of Agriculture to consider the present administration of the poor Law. Lord Ki:nberley contended that as the wages of the labouring classes had been considerably increased, the time had arrived for a more stringent administration of the poor law. It might not be de- sirable to wholly abolish the law of settlement, but he should like to see an inquiry ordered by Parliament into the question. The labouring classes should be compelled to contribute mire to the support of their destitute relatives than hitherto, and an effort should be made to reduce workhouse expenses. In some casQS it might be advisable to remove paupers from one onion into the. scantily occupied workhouse of some adjoining union, although in each union the boards 01 guardians should continue to sit for the pur- pose of inquiring into eaoji individual case of pauper' ism. Mr Read, M.P., expressed his' concurrence in almoat every word which had fallen from the noble lord.
LOSS OF A VESSEL ON CARDIFF…
LOSS OF A VESSEL ON CARDIFF SANDS. T>Vli MEN DltOWNEl). The Aimable Prudence, Capt Barron, sailed from Cardiff for Nantes on Saturday laat, the 9ih inst., with a cargo of coals. Falling in with heavy seas and head winds in the Channel, she bore up on Sunday when off the Naeh, and ran back for shelter to Pen* arth Roads, but the wind increasing in violence, with rain, the exhausted crew could not make out the Holm light, the weather being so thick. At 11.15 p.m. on Sunday the vet »el struck on Cardiff sands, the crew until then being ignorant as to the vessel's pogi- tion. The sea broke over them with great violence but they contrived, after muoh difficulty, to get the boat launched from their vessel's deck, and the crew numbering only 6 men endeavoured to get into it when a terrifio squall came on, driving their hapless vessel further on to the fands and capsized their boat washing away three of their number, who perished, and severely crushing the cabin boy. Again the 8ur vivors olupg'to the boat, as the vessel appeared to be breaking up. beneath them, separating them from the vessel, and when the three poor fellows had recovered consciousness they found themselves drifting with a strong tide and fearful sea down channel, the boat half full of water and a wrack of itself, seeming to be foundering beneath them. The cabin boy full of courage begged his companions to hold on to the frail crafr. 1 he two men, who happened to be Capt Bu. ron and a seaman named Cahelduc, saw that the poor lad was dying from tbe injuries be had received; hit ltfg was broken, and ho was suffering sovere pain, Ab two a.m. on Monday he breathed his last in the arms of the sailor Cabelduo his body was washed away, and Barron and Cabelduo were left to their fate. The remnant of a boat, just sufficient to keep them afloat, carried them whither the tide drifted. At six a.m. thev were observed by the orew of the Dutch barque, Peter LundlMrg, lvinn at anohor in Ponarth Roads, who at first thought it was a p'eoe of wreck floating away but directly two men were discovered clinging II to it, Captain Hulaer of the barque sent away his boat and picked up the two unfortunate Frenchmen, who were subsequently landed at Cardiff Pier Head and hospitably entertained by the French Consul. Capt Birron desiree to express his sincere gratitude to Captain Hulzer and his crew for their extreme kind- ness whilst on board their vessel, in providing himself and his fellow survivor with food clothing, &c. Tw,) of the poor fellows drowned were married, and leave families at a place called Mesguier, in France. Their names were Rolland-and Pavagneau.

At the afternnon service in Westminster Abbey on Sunday, Dean Stapley preached from the Firat Chapter of the Book <*f Esther, whioh speaks of the King Ahasuerus, who reigned over 127 provinces, troin India to Ethiopia.

Dean touched up 10 the foundation of our Indian Empire, and reviewed the responsibilities attaching toth.se who rule it. After a lengthened reference to the condition of India, and the example which, fAf good, can be set by English. s men visiting that country, Dean Stanley said — \jy 1 friends, many of you, no doubt, see why it is I have < chosen this eubjeot for our thoughts at this time— f when, at least for the next fire months, our attention wiH be especially directed to India.

THE SURVIVORS OF THE BALACLAVA…
THE SURVIVORS OF THE BALACLAVA CHARGE. The n'most interest has been aroused in the movement to organise the proposed banquet on the 25th inst., and contributions are daily pourine in to the committee from all parts of the country. Nu- merous applications have been received from mem- bers of the Heavy Brigade, asking to be permitted to join in the celebration, but the originators of the gathering have been reluctantly compelled to adhere to the original idea, and confine the company to those who actually participated in the charge of the Six Hundred. In addition to those already invited, the Poet Laureate, Dr Russell, and his colleague" among the war correspondents, and the French and Russian attache*, are to be included among the guests. The letter to the latter speaks volumes for the chivalric feeling of the Bilaklava heroes, who refnse to recognise their tormer enemies other than as foemen worthy of their steel It is hoped that two ladies, At leact, will favonr the meeting with their presence—Miss Florence Nightingale, whose title to a place at a Crimean dinner does not need to be par- ticularised, and Mra Croaswell, who accompanied the 11th Hassirs in tbe Bulgarian expedition. There are communications to hand from twenty-fonr snr- vivors living in the provinces, many of whom are too poor to come to London at their own expanse, and it is confidently hoped that the railway companies will extend them the favour of free passes. The more prosperous of the veterans have generously come forward with aid for their needier somrades. Mr Pennington, who wielded a cavalry sabre before be I took to the stage, has promised to trave) up from J Manchester to attend the mnster, and is expected to recite Tennyson's spirit-stirring poom. A gallant follow nimei O'Donahoe has written from Warring- ton apologising for the non-attendance of two of his brothers, who rode knee to koee with him in the charge, as they h'tve since answered the last roll call, but promising for himself that, if he lives so Ions, hp will be to the front with his old mates. About fifty of the Brigade are known to be rfrpidina in the metropolis or its neighbourhood, and of these six belong to the batch of thirty who w^re oaptured on the field wounded and nnhorsed. But one an- swer to the appeal to survivors to forward their name^has yet reached the committee from the si«- to kingdom, whioh is the more remarkable as 325 of the 607 who faced the Bassitn battery were Irish- men.

NOTES ON VILLA, AND SUBURBAN GAR. DENING. Root-storing.—We have now arrived at the begin- I ning of October, a month rather busy in the matter of taking nr, collecting, and storing the various crops of the garden. Most if not all root crops ap- pear to be hirly advanced towards the condition for honsing. Fine weather shonld always he chosen for the above work. I do not like the soil to be in a soddened state when a crop, such as Carrots for in- stance, is taken out of it; neither are theso crop* in snch a fit condition for keeping when mnoh wet euc- such a fit condition for keeping when mnoh wet euc- ceeds a period of fine weather, anchaswe have jiigf, had. The roots nnder these conditions take-up too much moipture for long keeping, and it requires a longer period to have them thoroughly dry before packing away: therefore, as the weather is at pre- sent threatening, it would he advisable to take up Carrots, Beet, Potatoes, and Onions. Parsnips, take np as wanted, but I-ave the general crop in the gronnd. Salsafy and Jerusalem Artichokes may also remain in the ground, and may be taken up later in the season. All roots should be judiciously thinned before storing. I like to cut the tops off Carrots and Bept at two different times first, when taken up the tops are cat hltlf down, but after they have been nnder cover and become dry the tops of the carrots are cut' close off, and those of the Beetroots to within two inches of the root. The points of neither are touched. I have often found that if a carrot begins to rot it does so quite as often when it is cut at the point as it does at the top. Beetroot is generally one of the best of keepers under the usual conditions. Generally speaking roots have nothing hut make- shift places in which to be placed away—either too damp or where there is not sufficient, protection from froat, or the material in which they are packed is of the wrong sort. It shonld he thoroughly dry and not liable to go soon to decay. Clean dry sand im, perhaps, the bert of all, but coalasbes are the I worst. I have kept roots well in chopped straw when sand could not be had. They are put on a layer of this at the bottom, and upon boards to keep clear from the ground, then the chopped straw in about 8 or 9-inch lengths is laid crosswise to the roots. In all cases the roots are laid up root and point alternately, and if in a cool but not too dry a place they remain plump through the whole winter. The object of having the straw short is, that it can be easier laid in, and again can be easily removed a little at the time as the produce is taken away, and during the winter months when tba roots require to be looked over the work can be done much quicker or cleaner. It is sometimes necessary during winter to pro- tect from frost by some sort of covering. Now this should be moved and replaced as often as the sever- ity of the ijfost comes and goes. I mean that if a sudden thaw succeeds a frost the covering should be re-moved, otherwise it is apt to bring on a kind of sweat, simply from the sudden extremes of tem- perature, whioh is almost certain to generate decay. Again, if the roots are paoked in sand or drv earth it should be in the honse or under cover, end free from any contact with moisture; and when once a sufficient quantity is collected in the house it is not well for it to be taksn out again except for the pur- pose of cleaning or drying afresh, when it will last some years with trifling additions. I have stated this because many persons have a difficulty in ob- taining sand, which gardeners as a rulp can ge plenty of.—Thojub Record.^—Journal of Horticul- turc.

CONCENTRATED BEEli. The process that has for a considerable period beeu applied to milk is now, it seems, to be adopted with regard to beer, a method having been patented by which that popular beverage can be evaporated in a vaouum pan to the consistence of treacle or con- densed milk, in which condition it may be kept for < any length of time without deterioration. About a < quarter of a century ago the same plan, or something like H. was tried bat, on aocount of a disagreeable i flaTOar coinmunioalmd in the process, the product failed to make us way in publio estimation, and its i manufacture was discontinued. To r convert th« mixture into beer suitable pipportions of water and ftloohol are added, fermentation is renewed,, and in « forty-eight hours the beer may he drawn from tht) tap for use. One advantage of 'his method will be that leBS heady qualities may be exported to hot cli- mates ttiao heretofore has beeu possible.

This has not boon due to any abundance of supplies of home grown produce, as the qualities being delivered at the prin- cipal markets of the kingdom are considerably below those of last year, while, in addition to this the quality of the produce offering oxhibits a decided fal: ing off com- pared with that of the preceding season. Ihe large im- portations of foreign grain since harvest toother with tte fact that there are still "b ,ut 1,100,000 quarters 01 wheal afloat, naturally make millers cautious, and un- willing to purchase in excess of their actual require- ments. The financial necessities of foreign countries are, just now, very great, and henco considerablede-nr,, ^tvinoed by them to market tbe produce they hav0 Masted during tho present season. Although, there. Vr^phere may be some additional difficulty at the Aoment in negociating bills of exchange, yet producers in the United State*, and in several minor countries, have been compiled iio sell, in order to-meet their liabilities. Those producers know full well that in England there is a ready market, but if they press snp.. plies upon us »i fr.?f>ly as they have done since harveJji it will be found to be difficult to maintain the range of prices. As far as good and fine qua|;»i^. jjjL produce are concerned, i{ ia probable that pr -gc'rl^Bfli tatioiu will be de %'C.-<iand obtained, but wi; io the low"j.•!«?-- j produce, we onfc-i that somo iniertr Certainly, supplies abroad arc the bt tte- rualitj.es of wheal rcvide are quite w-uUa; are, we know Turned a settled •.nowledge has I -sybii harvest it is Clancy, r-'resen* .ifti ibis. year's ,8 jrdlvdeficient ;<*ijSp<!lisb wheat #3*agfiii*t £ 7s ill lafinfr; therefore, *«re4bunerative, fjr .•quivjilpjit to that dbtion is very much iie large increaso in lohoted a:nce harvest l0,:103 cwt., being an t.

JACK AND JOE.
JACK AND JOE. "Jack "the sailor and foe the marine nviy almost he called household words, so gene" rally are they applied to the man in blue and red belonging to the itoyal Navy, but neither of the terms is satisfactory to the minds of those who have a knowledge of the men in their exact pro' fessional personality in this year of ;race 1875. When people read of Jack," or "jolly Jack tar," they have in their minds some fancy person' age very unlike the real man. Joe conveys no particular characteristic, and was perhaps merely created to run side by side with "Jack," as the men run side by side in life, and often lii; side by side in death. The word Jack suggests ve believe, a sort of compound of Anson's sea* men, with their pockets full of doubloons. Wil- liam, in B'ack'eyed Susan,' C ><>p<ir's Long Tom Coffin, Nels n's Coxswain, who is tr iditionally supposed to have offered to drink in turn all the grons proposed for his choice, a eh uacier distin. guished by a carelessness <>finoti»n- and a reckless- ness of life, withagooadctt of powerful swear- inti. But this picture is far from beins a close likeliest of tae men whom 've know so well, and are about to speak of. Blu< jacket is the term g-iven to "lithe mell in the Navy who wear the serge unif rra frtlck, in distinction to the Marine", who being soldiers for service at sea, wear the red c'oth of the British army. What is the real character of the Blut'jacket as ho exists in her l.V['Ijcsty's navy 1 "Jack "is an imagination, but the Blu"jackot is a realit>, and, taking a good average type, a man of twenty-six years ofane, we find as a rule he is very steady, well behaved, rather reserved, cleanly, and sober, abominably conceited, persona ly vain to a degree; thinks he can do anything, because he is obliged to have a smattering 01 so many things; he is, however, civil speaking and has very good manners he is carcfut of his money, no one more so generally married, and proud of his home and children, lie looks at his life seriously, feels that he has to improve it on all opportunities, and to fi^ht .through bravely but he is very much inclined to be an eyeservant, for those above him have so much power over his present and future that he is naturally apt to look to them personally for ap- proval, instead of doing his duty in a straightfor- ward manner. He is not very hard working, but still a wonderful amount of work can begot out of him. Taking him altogether, made as he is by the scuvice itself-for he coinaiences iu boy. hood —be is a very fair specimen of the genus homo he marine, being enlisted as other soldiers are, commences his sea life as an adult, presumably' with some sort of character formed. Before going to sea he perhaps spends a couple of yearo in barrecks. where he leads a purely soldier's life :n a garrison town, getting only a glimpse of ship life Iroui the stories he bears in his barrack'room so that when he does embark for service afloat he takes with him his own personality plus the in' IIllence of the barrack room, and has to adapt hnnsell as best he may to hit; new state of being the result is to make him really half soldier an.«l half sailor. He has *11 the soldier's stolidity, but gains a handiness and an ease of manners which make him distinctively a marine, proud of the motto" Per Mare per Terram." He is perhaps not so well behaved afloat, as he is on shore, losing some of tiiat military Btnartncss for which his corps is eminent Iy distinguisl ed on terra lirma, hilI; like the bluejacket he is careful of his money, and generally takes on shore again a very fair sum. I here is nothing antagonistic now between the two bodies of men; that which presses on the one, squally presses on the other, nndtheir feel- ings are very much in common.—Fraser'sMaga- zine.
AN HISTORICAL LEG.
AN HISTORICAL LEG. The Marquis of Anglesea's leg was for some years almost as famous as the chivalrous Marquis himself, so far superior was it to anything that had previously been produced for a similar pur' pose. This gallant officer had a leg shattered by a cannon ball at the battle of Waterloo he un- derwent two ;tmpiititions, t)t)e 011 the battle field by an army surgeon, the other by Mr (afierWMi'd Sir Hvcrard) Home, after his return to England. Then Mr Gray let to work. He took a cast in wax of the stamp of the poor unfortunate log, transferred the impression to tough and light desiccated willow, and ingeniously introduced xtrings of catgut to represent that (so called) tendon of Achilles which gives elasticity and pro' pelling power. It is a great thing to aay that the leg retained its proud position for nearly forty years, until the Marquis, as a venerable field marshal, closed his career at the age of eighty five -not the same leg, of course; for an artificial leg, like a boot, will wear out in course of time. As experience grew, and further observations were made the original Anglesea lag gradually made way for a better. The Marqnn looked so well on horseback that the admiring publio could scarcely believe one of his legs to be artificial. The srring of the catgut, at the back of the heel extended the foot when straightened, a spring inserted in the instep lifted the toes from the ground when she leg bent in walking. Neverthe- less, nature bad no) beon sufficiently imitated in the first Auglesea leg there was no lateral mo* lion in the Ilnkle joint; the wearer could not Walk on uneven gronnd without experiencing an unpleasant amount of jar and strain. Moreover, there was too m-ich creak and rattle with the metal work, and the wearer had to keep near at hand it small oil can, wherewith to lubricate his joints. These inconveniences wero got rid of one by one—a great improvement, being the in' traduction of a ball and socket j"int, and another being the substitution of india rubber for metal in some parts.—' All the Year Round.'

PORK AND BEANS. A correspondent writes to the • Standard Many letters have lately appeared in the publio journals, ad- vocating thivmore extended use of cereaU aa articles of ford, with the view of cheapening biitelier's meat but nothing I have seen strikes me as within every Englishman's reach,- so much as the famous Jersey breakfast dish of pork and beans. The dish is prepared in the fnllowiiig way -Soak in cold water the dried beans, either the Windsor, tb« Magaxan, or even good sample of common horse beans, until they have beoome swollen take off any that float on the top of the water (suoh being generally faulty), strain off any water not absorbed, and plaoe the soaked beans in a deep baking dish then lay on the top of the 1beanai .a piece of salt pork, in th« proportion of one lb- of the la'terto wo quarts of tt.e former; place the dish in the oven after tbe bread is drawn, and let it remain all night. Tbe common kitntien stove ovens will answer equally well with careful attention to the heating ( The cooking in either cage should be a lonr, nlow proo < oe»8.

In the Atherseum, 88 in other clubs, it is a rulo in theicoff" room that members who have expended a shilling in fish, soup, or entrees shall have Mxpenc,' doducted from tho price of I tho joint --of course on the principle that their attack on the Utter will be proportionately restricted. One day Sir Franuu had dined off the joint, having previously in- dulged io a dozen ot oysters, for which there was a shilling to pay, but wi'hout any, reduction in the eharge for the joint. To this he demurred, on the ground that a shilling bad been laid out in fish, and, if oysters were not fish, what were they, So he backed his bill, whioh in due course came-lis all such bills do -befo(,) thahouse committee. It fortunately hap- pane<j| thijt ihere was in tbe chair a distinguished ggatiltalist—atill happily spared to us—wh •• ■> c-m- Sliialioned to reply to Sir Francis's complaint, whioh he ■'aflWordingly did. Although oysters, ho said, won? not 'tth—th-^y, in fact, belonged to a totally different division of the animal kingdom-he was willing to waive that objection aDd t ,ke hilt s.and on his kuow- ledge of physidegy. This told him that oysters in- variably acted ae « whet to the appotite, and therefore, instead of checking, they actually intensified tire attack upon tbe joint.' Under these circumstances, Sir I Francis's contention could not be entertained.

I EDIBLE GHAIN versus ANIMAL FOOD. The following letter was addtclesed. to theEditor of the "Standard" — SIR, -Referriag to the article in your ini.\essiou •oi the 2ad inst., entitled Animal Food and Ott- meal, by Mc D. G. F.

Plain boiled, seasoned 1 with salt, mixed with dripping or butter, snd dressed with fried onions without a fragment of meat, it is riot only palatable, but, as I have often fonnd it, a f capital dinner. During the haat of summer, owing i to its heating and flesh and blood making proponst- < tiea, it is by labourer* in the field in Egypt generally 1 reserved for winter consumption but in our climate ) its stamina. would, I should think, prove welcome to i any men all the year round.

It«valenta Arab- ica," in tin packets of lib., and retailed at 21., I be- lieve to be nothing but powdered lontilg, which, spilt as described, ought to be imported as little above the price of beans from Alexandria.

CROSSING THE ATLANTIC.
CROSSING THE ATLANTIC. The voyage across the Atlantic has little interesj for itself. There is nothing to arrest the attention for the mobt part save the endless waste of water and, magnificent as such a sight iR, it cannct be said to be interesting. It is too continuously vast and monotous. One cannot keep one's feelings for any length of time at the pitch of sublimity, and all more sublimity is apt to weary. I have felt the same feel- iug even among the Swiss Alps. It is a deadly heresy to say so. but tho continuous outline of peak and valley, cold and stately in their snowy mautle, only broken here and there by rugged seams, lieB oppressively upon the imagination. There are en- trancing morning and evening aspects; but these are fitful; they fade and die away, and one's snatches of hi^hor feeling die with them. They do not nur- ture love or interest, and as the bleak, impassable barriers rise before one their very grandeur grows wearisome. There ootuey the longing to snunount them, and took once moro upon the smiling and vaniously moving country. And also the Atlantic tire* by its magnificence.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A COTTON.…
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A COTTON MERCHANT. Telo Sittred Htre, a cotton merchant, was on Fri- day charged at the Liverpool police-court with having, by false pretences, obtained from the Roch- dale Co-operative Manufacturing Society (Limited) two hills of exchange for sums of jEI.000 and X978 12s, and with having induced the sociuty to ac- cept the bills in order that the latter might be con- verted into money. According to the prosecution, it appeared that in Deoember last Mr James Clark, the Society's manager, gave the defendant^ with whom he had his dealings previously, an order among others. for 200 bateffWcotton of a particular class Shortly afterwards the defendant forwarded an in voice to Mr Clark in which the cotton was repre" sented a. being of the kiud required by the societvt Shi °h reP":eB«ntation he drew for the amount Sen ed h?^ r'tl7ed bi!la- whioh were so- Cl ir a "lr'i 'he Society. Later on Mr owrn mtide gome inquiries about the cotton, and Mr 1IRre told him that the ship Ganges, of the cargo of which it formed part, was going to London, and that the cotton would be sent to Liverpool by rail. Mr Clark asked for a delivory order, and then the defen- dant stated that he did not think that the cotton was the quality wished by the purchacers, and suggested that it would not suit thom. The defendant was committed for trial, bail being accepted in the aum of £ 2,000.

Blackberry WINm.-Choose a dry day for collect- ing the fruit, set it in an open vgssel-one of those having a tap fitted to the ?ide of it rather near the bottom—and pour over tho fruit sufficient boiling water to cover it. Next let the blackberries be braised thoroughly, cover the vessel, and let it, stand three or four days, when it svill be found that the pulp has iormed into a crust ou the top. The fluid must then be drawn off into another vessel, and one pound of sugar added to eaoh gallon, well mixed in. after whioh the whole is ready to be put into a cask to work for a week or ten days, during whioh time tbo oask should be well, filled, more especially at first.
