      REVELATIONS POLITIQUES . LES TROIS VICTIMES . Par i * Comb bb Whlbbod . ' [ Political Revelations . The Three Victims . By the Count deWillbrod . ] London : Armand , Rathboae-pkee . [ Coa&iuedfron tkeStarpf October 9 th . ) The death of Paul Didier does apt conelade this history . . The circumstances which preceded , and ( hose that followed , this terrible tragedy , were too EitraordiBary and inexplicable to be Buffered to fall iato oblivion . Didier did not carry Mb secret entirely unknown to the grave—and there were many , Tery many , besides him , implicated ia his schemes . 'Whilst the authors of those rigorous orders , the framers of the telegraphic dispatches , sought to bur ? the ffir in silenc

      aa e , the blood of the victims cried aloud for vengeance ; the survivors of the vanquished party caused agitations in the press ' as the tribunal , in the courts of justice , and the conflict between the victims and the executioners , between the Whitesvai the Blwe caused mutual recriminations and unexpected revelations . . results of the plot of 1816 , are aptly figured in the fortunes of twe men who took leading parts n that drama—M . Decazes and General Donnadiea . Eaca of these men holds tne taread of" the intrigue , sod all the evolutions of tbe conspiracy . And by the circamstanees which now surround them , history will judge of the facts of the case . The favour lavished on 13 . Oecazes since the revoafion of 'July , ' points out M . Oecazes as the representative of the party which triumohed on the 9 th of

      August , and for whose success he bad for fifteen years treacherously paved the way . In the disgrace which General Doanadiea hasmet » ith , he , oa the contrary , represents the vanqaished fcrty ; the party faithful to the elder branch of the Bourbons . The latter is laid on the shelf—disqualifed for employment , by the « n / orftmatecelebrity hi § osndnct and Sis writings provided for him in the saw of Grenoble . The former is made Grand Referendary of the Chamber oi Peers , and is the bosom teendbftheToilleries—the object of private benefaction and puHic liberality . How is it that the one is disgraced on account of the fidelity and zeal shown to the elder branch ofthe Bourbons , and the other , who , at the idmt tine , apparently exhibited yet greater ardoor in the cause , nas been so generously rewarded bvthe party to whom he showed the greatest enmity ?

      We can only arrive at the conclusion that theser-Tkes rendered to Louis XVIIL by Decazes , were jalse , treacherous , and timeserving ; in short , that he was one of those of whom Didier spoke in bis last honr , ; when he warned the Kong to * mistrust men uko « &d two oaths in their mouths ? Innocence courts inquiry ; guilt shuns the eye of < by ! Since 1816 , Donnadieu has never suffered an opportunity of mentioning the faets of that era to {• s cape . Whilst DecsKs has ever purchased silence all the means at his command . * * * In a letter that M . Simon Didier , son of Paul ftdier , addressed , on the lfth of May , 18 « , to the editor of the Cowrrier de Wore , and in which he replies indignantly to the charge of that journal , that ais father 'had endeavoured to cttallish a jacquerie in 1816 / we remark the following passage : —

      And even if my father , withont the participation of , with whem , ( according to ray mether ) , he Passed several hours in conference before the final out . break , had wished to hoist upon the throne , *» it necessary to destroy the instruments of his elevation < Hachiavel gives this advice , and we now see that if the policy be somewhat ungrateful , It is not bad . At a trial at Grenoble , November 13 th , 18 U , i t was declared , that Simon Didier ' * letter contained nothing criminal . Erasures were , therefore , unnecessary—but * e Court was anxious to give no pretence for bringing * a action against him .

      Bnt , although Didier fell a sacrifice , his children and friends have , since the revolution of' July , ' been Bute fortunate . Every member of his family has teen loaded with honours ; his name has proved a protecting talisman to all who cculd call themselves « is accomplices , and even the murderer Fieschi , profitted by the halo which , surrounded the memory of wdier , to call himself one of the rebels of 1816 , and wtain a share in the general favour . Nor have the sunor actors in the tragedy been forgotten ; the aims dispensed by the budget to the widows and auldren of the condemned criminals of 1816 , amounted by the 1 st of July , 1841 , to 13 . 601 f . in the department of Isere alone I ' l - w 4

      although still of unsatisfactory brevity to us . Hxirrich Heirs has published , in a substantive form his poem of * Atta Troll ^ . fragments of . which appeared six yean ago . We are sorry to read that'it wasthe author ' s intention to work ont his idea more fully , but he never could realise his laudable design , and his poem shared the fate of all the great works of the Germans , suthas the Cologne Cathedral , Schel . ling ' s Godhead ,, the Prussian Constitution , &c—it was never completed , immature as it is , he now presents it to the public , with a jesting hint at a sad and too snf&cient apology . Poor Hsnrx is ' stricken with paralysis , beyond all recovery . ' The Reviewer favours his readers with a part of Hkink ' s carious and characteristic preface , ( why did he not give the whola ?) which we transfer te ear columns

      • Atta Troll ' was produced in the autumn of 18 * 1 , at a period when the great heterogeneous mob of foes banded together against me , had not quite ceased their hurly-burly . It was a hege uproar , aad truly I eoald not have supposed that Germany producesso many rotten apples as were then shot at my head S Our fatherland is a higblj-favoured land ; it grows nQ citrons , indeed , no golden oranges , and the laurel waxes but slowly and stuntedly oa German ground ; but in the article of rotten apples its exuberance is most satisfactory , « s all our great poets have had cause to sing or say . In that same rations melee in which I was to have lost both crown and head . Host neither ; and the . absurd charges , by means of which the vulgar were stirred up against me , have miserably fallen to the ground without its being necessary that I ihould stoop to refute

      them . Time undertook the task of my justificatisa , and I must own with gratitude , that the retpective German governments have done much for ma in this respect . The decrees of imprisonment that on every point of the German frontiers . longingly await the poet ' s return , are duly renewed every year at the hallowed yule seasoa , when the little candles shine cheerily in the Christmas-trees . These perils by the way have cured ma of all wish to visit Germany ; so I celebrate my Christoases in a . fereign land , and there too I will end my days in exile . Meanwhile th « brave champions of light and truth , who accused me of fickleness and servility , paisthtirdays securely in ' tbe fatherland , as snngly-en . dowed placemen , or f » s officials of a guild , or as asiiduous frequenters of a club where every evening they r « - gale patriotieauy on the vintage of father Rhine , and on sea-girt Schleswig-Holsteinish oysters .

      'I have had my reasons for notug above the exact period when 'Atta Troll' was composed . It was the time when what is called political poetry was in full bloom . The opposition , as Huge says , sold its leather and became poesy . The Muses were formally enjoined no longer te go about dallying and trifling , but to enlist in the service of the fatherland as titwiieres of freedom er as washerwomen « f Christiano-German nationality . There arose , especially at that period , among the Teuton bards , that vague , fruitless pathos , that useless en . thusiasm , that plunged headlong , in scorn of death , into aa ocean of common-places , and which always reminded me of the American sailor who was so byperbolically devoted . to General Jaekwn , that he flung himself from the main tep-caUant matt into the sea , crying out' I die for General Jackson ! ' though we Germans had then so fleet , yet had we many an impassioaed sailor

      who died for General Jackson in yerseand prose . Talent was then a very unlucky gift , for it brought on its pos . sessoi the suspicion of want of character . Earious dullness had at last , after ages of research , discovered iu grand weapon against the insolence of genius ; it had invented the antithesis of talent and character . The mass of the public felt almost personally flattered when they heard it laid down that respectable people are in general very bad musicians , whilst , on the other hand , good musicians are usually anything but respectable people-rthe main thing , however , iu this worid , is respectability , not ' mu « io . The empty head now prided itself on its fall heart , and sentiment was a trump card . The reign of the just was about to-begin in literature . I remember a writer of those days whose chief merit ia his ewn eyes was that he did net know how to write ; for his leaden style he was rewarded with a silver beaker .

      By the immortal Gods ! it behoved at that epoch to defend the imprescriptible rights of mind , the autonomy of art , the sovereign independence of poetry . As this defence has been the great business of my life , I have less than ever lost sight of it in the present poem , which both in tone and substance , was a protest against the pUliseita of the tribunes of the day . And , in fact , the first fragments of it that appeared immediately stirred up the bile of jour men of character ,, ye ' ur high-souled Romans . They accused me of attempting , not only a literary , but a social re-action ; and even of casting scorn on the sacrosanct principle of human progress . As to the setthetie value of my poem , I let them then , and I let them now , say of it what they please . I . wrote it for my own amusement , in the capricious and fantastic style of that romantic school in which I ' passed the pleasantest

      years of my youth , until I ended by thrashing the master thereof . In this respect my poem poisibly deserves condemnation . But thoa liest , Brutus , thou liest . Cassias , and thou too liest , AsiniuB , jf you assert that I aim my ridicule at those ideas which are a precious and hard won treasure of mankind , and for which I myself have striven and suffered to much , No , it is just because those ideas stand full btfere the poet ' s ejes in all their glorions lnstre and grandeur , that he is seized with irresistible laughter , when he marks how clumsily and coarsely they are apprehended by Mb shallow contemporaries . He makes merry then as it were at the temporary bearskin that invests those ideas . There are mirrors so awry that Apollo himself would appear in them a caricature . We laugh in that case at the caricature , not at the god .

      From a notice of a work entitled ' Domestic History of the Russians under Alexander and Nicholas , ' by J . H . Scbniizler , a Frenchman , we give the following extracts : —

      RUSSIA . The Roman Bway never exteaded to the north of Europe and Asia . That cold and silent region remained inaccessible to the ancients , who were accustomed to the cheerful f untbice and a sky almost always cloudless . It was shrouded from them in a veil of mystery , and dreaded by them as the home of magic powers ; and if they knew by report that it contained precious metals , they never thought of postetsiog themselves of treasure * which they supposed were guarded by mou . trous crea . tares , griffins , dwarfs , or giants , and tribes to whem their imagination , or rumours propagated by design or fear , attributed the strangest and most repulsive formB Thus , then , the eagles of the Cassars never penetrated those regions , whilst the Germanic invasion , which was destined to renovate the Roman world , flowed in quite another direction . That it did indeed tlichtlv touch the

      still sparse population of ancient Sarmartia , was owing to tie adventurous spirit of some of its wandering sonstrue knigbterranis , always accessible to the allurement of booty or , warlike ' glory , and | caring nothing for any danger or any distance . These Normans having established themselves in Novgorod and Kief , influenced , of course , in some degree , the habits and social organisation of those localities ; but their numbers being comparativel y small , they soon merged in the Slavonic race , which after the lapse of a century retained few traces ef its contact with the Teuton stock . As for the third element , Christianity , it was not from Rome , the common metropolis of the west , that Russia received it , but from Constantinople , the masters of which city , disregarding the essence of that law of charity , had converted it into an instrument of despotism , whilst the clergy had paralysed its generoas force by tisir idlo dispute ! about barren

      subtlettet , so that ; the spirit , of , truth , Inherent in the Gospel , was smotheredtin . the universal formalism . - . Europe felt no iatereat in Russia when the latter was 0 Ter « rua by the ; Mongols— : 1 'I '¦ '¦'• No appeal Wat made to the valour of the warriors of the west , they were unmoved bythb news of the Mongol invasion , and saw in it no reason for undertaking a t ' rv sade to which the Church cartd . not to invite them . Ttadimiria and Muscovy , remote provinces of Kief , recently founded in the midst of Finnish populations addieted to Faginism , were at the most known only by name ; besides which , ' schismatics were , in the eves of the heroes of the erosi , scarcely Christians . TheRos . sians were completely overthrown in two battles ( 1224 and 1237 ) . and subjected to the dominion of tha Golden

      Horde and-the , Khan of the Stoppes , Then ensued a prostration which fatted two centuries , and left profound traces lb the character of that people , European in origin , as well as the Gilts and Germans , but which had been already fashioned to oriental slavery by its cenuesion with Byzantium , and on which its conquerors imposed , in a still higher degree , the immobility of Asiatic usages . . , . _ . Subsequently a loBg and bloody struggle took place between the Muscovites and the Poles , in which jbhe latter won proviBce after province from their rivals , and at last [ became masters of their most venerated sanctuary , the Kremlin of Moscow . But—A marvellous resurrection , begun under Ivan III .

      Tassilievitch , continued under Ivaa IT . Yassilievitcb , surnamedthe Terrible , and consummated under the Taars ofthe House of Bom ' anof , revealed a new power to the astonished gaze of Europe . With wonder she beheld the blows which those Mojcovites , but recently the humble subjects of the Mongols , now . dealt out . to all their enemies , the Poles , , the Swedes , and the Tartars ofthe Crimea , vassals of Turkey . Thenceforth it was no longer possible to ignore their existence ; tha name of Christians could no longer be refused to those vanquishers of the Infidels , marching beneath the banner ofthe cress ; and Europe carried her condescension towards them so far as to solicit their , alliance against the common enemy , the Ottomans .

      The ambitious Pstbr laid the foundation of Russia ' s greatness . ' Peter the Great marked out for Russia the plan of her policy ; to command the course of hsr own rivers ; to keep the Baltic open to her vessels ; to confine the Sweies to their peninsula , and weaken Poland by fomenting its intwfine- divisions ; to profit as much as poisible by the decadence of the Ottoman Empire , and attract within her sphere the Christians of Ada subject to the Turks and the Persians ; to extend still farther hQr influence and her views of a future commerce with a part of the world with which she was in contact along a vast line of frontier ; lastly , to contrive that she should be reckoned for something in the affairs of the west , bo

      that-the' Tsar might cast a certain weight into the balance whereia are weighed the interests ofthe great sovereigns of the great Christian family : such was the programme already devised by Peter , amidst the almost inextricable embarrassments in which his pasiion fer referms had tntangled him in the interior of his empire . It was reserved for a woman and a foreigner , Cathebikb II ., to complete the work commenced by Pxtes . " The partition of Poland was a first revolution in the European system ; Cathebirx prepared another that is still imminent , by the humiliation ef Turkey , and its extinction as a power . " The following describes the actual position of Russia : —

      Russia is a world in itself . Its extent is more than half that of Europe , more than ten times that of France . In Asia it is prolonged without interruption over another territorial surface , forming a third of that division of the globe . : To speak more exactly ; the surface of European Russia is nearly five millions and a half of square Hometres ; that of Russia in Asia is hardly less than fifteen millions ; and that of American Russia is about one milHen ; total twenty-one millions of square kUomelrte , or more than the double of Europa ( the whole surface ef which does not comprise ten millions of square fctfomebres ) , and nearij a sixth of the whole habitable globe . No doubt the Russian possessions in Asia and America , situated under an inclement sky , are nothing but a colonial territory still in so desert a state that if we suppose

      the whole population , space even , in its western and Boathern regions , to be spread over all its vast extent , we should not even find three inhabitants to the square WmHre , whilst the proportion is nsarly twelve in European Russia , and in France sixty-fife . But this colonial territory is contiguous . to the mother country , and forms with it one unbroken whole , A fifth , at least , of Siberia is susceptible of good cultivation , and the earth there contains the . treasures that moit tempt the cupidity of man , not to mention platina , and what are called the common metals , thaugh in reality they ar « much the most preciouB . In European Russia there are vast tracts void of culture and inhabitants ; yet it contains on the whole about fi ( ty-ilx millions of souls ; and to give an idea of the importance to which this , new

      world , st ill so imperfectly peopled , and partly plunged in the torpor of barbarian life , may rise at no distant day , we need only say that the births are to the population in the proportion of one to twenty-three or twenty-four , whilst in France the proportion is only one to tbirtj-four or thirty-fire , and that the annual increase of the population by births exceeds two millions , whilst ameng us it has not yet reached one million . Such is the rapidity with which the Rassian population augments , that leas than a' century , not so much perhaps as eighty years , will suffice to double it , that is to say , to change its sum of inhabitants from sixty to 120 millions . And even then the last limit will certainly not have been reached , for great is the fertility of the Muscovite soil , great the variety of its productioat , and fruitful in resources the genius of its people . Though wanting the creative

      fatuity , we cannot deny them a marvellous aptitude for all kinds of work , and an extreme faoilitytrf imitation . Remarkable for their native vigour , they easily accommodate themselves to all situations . Placid in temper cheerful , and inaccessible to the thought of danger , they are at the same time greedy of gain , habituated to suspicion as well as to submission , and have all the defects that flow from that source , —craft , love of intrigue , a moral suppleness equal to their manual suppleness , and which unhappily never hesitates at a li > or an act of dishonesty . Russia is the seat of & young , active , stirring , ambitious civilisation , which every day achieves some new step in advance . It is , moreover , united , compact , subject to one law , a living lawin some sort , and to which religion , still in possession of all its potver , notwithstanding its wast of enlightenment , lends the full force of its potent sanction .

      ¦¦ : This empire , placed on the confines of Europe and Asia , ' sajs M . deBonald , 'presses on them both at once , snd . never since the Romans has any power shown a greater expansive fbroe . So it is in every state in which the government is enlightened and the people barbarous , and which combines extreme skill in the prime mover with extreme docility in the instrument . ' This is most true ;; and beholding the colossal proportions of an empire endowed with such expansive power , it has bean asked , with much show of reason , what are France , Great Britain ( isolated from her immense colonies ) , Germany , Italy—what are ail those old seats of a perhaps decrepit civilisation in comparison with this theatre of a new , active , exuberant , energetic life ! What is to be the future of this gigantic power ?

      What we do very well understand , is the alarm ' at this moment manifested in all parts of Germany . The knot of the Russian question is evidently Poland . * * It has been well said by an anonymous writer—One of two things will happen , either Poland will remain an ulcer and a danger for Russia , or it will become a great danger for Europe . Let us translate this proposition into other ttrms . With respect to Poland , the Emperor of Russia is engaged in a great work of assimilation , begun before the invention of Panslavism , but which this novelty that has recently emerged above the European horiton , and which certain Poles have caught at with unexpected ardour , may efficaciously aid . The emperor will succeed in his task or he will not . In the latter cage we shall Perhaps witness the fulfilment of M . de Chateaubriand ' s

      prediction : ' . The Muscovites will only cure themselves of Poland by converting it into a desert . ' But before the silence of death shall brood over an immense mass of ruins , 'how many convulsions will have preceded the catastrophe , and to what fresh embarrassments will a righteous retribution have condemned the three partitioning powers ! In the former case , that is if the work of assimliatisn succeeds , either by the triumph of Pan slavism directed in accordance of the views of Russia in concert with a part of the Polish nobility , er by the system hitherto pursued ( in which the refractory nobles are altogether passed over , and the Tsar acts in preference on the middle and lower elasseB , which regard him with less aversion ) , will not Russia have achieved a vast advantage ! Will she not have worked her way dose to the

      very heart of Europe « And when the kingdom of Poland shall have become the advaneed guard ofthe Muscovite power , then decorated with the title of Empire of the Slavons , how will it be then with Galicia and Posen , countries more hostile to tbe Germans than has been commonly supposed , notwithstanding tbe benefits they have received - from them ? Does any one imagine that these other fragments of the old re . public of Poland will hang back , and be content to bead beneath the German yoke , to abhorrest to their race ! Is it not to be feared that the whole monarchy of the Jagellons will then be reconstituted in favour of a people , until that time , the inveterate foe of the Polep , but which shall have skilfully profitad by the Incurable levity of the latter , and the inconsistent and unstable character of the Slaves in general ! No doubt this great

      empire ef the Slaves , supposing it should arise , would exist but for a time ; bo doubt its creation would , even more than the long-projected and still apparently remote acquisition of Constantinople , augment that principle of dissolution to which we have already alluded as lurking ia the frame of the Muscovite colossus ; but meanwhile what would have become of the balance of power in Europe ? E-peci » lly , bow could unfortunate Germany preserve herself from the talons of tbe double-keaded eagle , that never loose tbeir hold on the quarry they have once clutched ? The mere apprehension of such a danger , -crnmencal , we would fain hope , as yet , but which nevertheless involves no impossibility , and which begins to occupy the serious attention of Germany . -attcsts the power of thatdmne I ^ emesis which visits with vengeance every misdeed of nations as well as individuals . * On signing the project of partuio ^ n lm Maria Theresa added the following words in her own hand : Placet , since so many men . and mo of such understanding , require it of me ; but long after I am dead will be seen what results from this violation of all that bas hitherto been regarded as just and saewd '

      Tait s Edinburgh Magazine . October . London : Simpkin and Marshall . Positively , we are tired of reading the nonsensical rubbish given to the world by that queer genius , De Qaincey , who occupies some sixteen pages of this number of Tait with his outrageous , balderdash . ' Miranda : a tale of the French Revolution . ' promises to be a well-told story . Of course , we do not expect Mr St John to impart to bis readers any very profound views ofthe mighty straggle his tale is to illustrate . Historians having made a ' raw head and bjoody bones ' romance of the French Revolution , it is not reasonable to expect that novelists will promulgate anything nearer to the truth .

      , V OTTERS ON GRAMMAR .

      ¦ : . - ¦ ¦¦ : . . >¦ Nq .. 8 .- ¦ . . TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Dear FaiwrWi . ( It OHly remains for us now to consider the Cam of the Personal Pronouns . These are the same as in the Nouns . As the Pronouns change their forms , it will be requisite for me to give you a table of them , which you will read over until " you are perfectJy acquainted with its contents . . 1 st ; Person . Case . Singular . Plural . Nom . 1 we Dot- To me To us Poss . Mine Ours Obj . Me Us 2 nd . person , ' Mm- Thou You Bat ' To thee To you Poss . Thine Yours 1 ObJ- Thee Yon

      3 rd . Person Masculine . . ..- % » . He They •» " . Tohha Tethem •* ? - . His Theirs ord , Person Feminine Nom . She J > at . To her Poss . Hers Obj . Her 3 rd . Person Neuter . Nom It Bat . To it Poss . Its Obj . It The plural is the same for the three genders . I wish you to remark , especially with regard to the Nominative and Objective cases of Pronouns , that the Nominative is the subject , the Objective the object of the Verb ; because there are very few of what are called ( perhaps ironically J ) the educated classes ,

      who do not constantly blunder in the use of the objeetive ' ease : especially when they attempt to join pronouns of different persons together—for instance , you may constantly hear such phrases as 'I think there will be enough of it for you and /; ' ' I told her you and me were going there to-morrow : ' The first of these sentences is wrong , because the parties speaking are those for whom there will be enoughthey are the object , not the subject of the Verb , The first sentence should therefore be , I think there will be enough of it for you and me . '

      In the second phrase , I should be substituted for me , because' you and I' are the subjects of tho Verb , ' we are going there . ' There are , however , two very simple ways ot ascertaining whether ' you are using the right cases of the Pronoun . Either reverse the two pronouns , and put the first person before the second , or use the plural instead of the two singular pronouns . In either way you will be able immediately to discover an error ; for even those who would be stupid enough to make the mistakes of which I have given you examples would not say , I think there will be enough of it for / and you / or ' I teld her us were going there to-morrow .

      You may , therefore , be sure that if the phral pronoun sounds incorrectly , the singular must really be inaccurate , although the number of ignorant people who use it have made it common . Relative Pronouns relate to a word , or a phrase in some other part of the sentence : when we assert a thing , this word or phrase usually goes before the pronoun ; when we are asking a question , it is generally contained in the reply : but they are called Relative because they must relate to some such word or phrase , and can no more exist without it than a child can exist without parents . The Relative Pronouns are who , which , &n&Jhat . Who is applied to separate and distinct persons o or women , but not to bodies oi

      men nor even to little children ; because it seems to suppose reason and responsibility . Which is applied to irrational and inanimate things . That is a very useful relative , since we apply it equally to persons aud things , in the singular and in the plural—to individuals and societies , we sometimes use it even with the other relatives , as , ' Who that has witnessed the deplorable state of the peasantry can avoid desiring a more rational legislation ? ' . The relative pronouns are the same in the singular and the plural : who has the following changes in its cases : — Nom . Who '

      Dat . To whom Poss . . Whose Obj . ; Whom . You will observe that the great distinction between the personal and the relative pronouns arises from the circumstance that whilst the personal are never found in the sarae part of the sentence with the nouns for which they stand , the relative are generally close to those nouns ,

      as—1 The man who does his duty is respected . ' 1 The ship which I saw . ' ' The child that you mentioned . ' Like some other English words , that is sometimes one part of speech , sometimes another ; it is always a relative pronoun when you can turn it into who , or which without making nonsense of the sentence . 'The tyrants that ( who ) desire to enslave will be compelled to bow to our power . '

      There Jb another word which seems to be a species of mongrel relative , since it supplies the place of nounand relative . It is What : as' This is what I toiled for '—or , ' This is ( the object which ) I toiled for . ' But as it should be our aim , in studying grammar to acquire the power of expressing our ideas clearly , we should never use any word , however sanctioned by habit , if it makes our meaning doubtful . The sentence 'All remedies have been tried but what are calculated to do permanent good , ' would be much clearer if we wrote 'All remee dies have been tried but those which are calculated to do permanent good . '

      The third kind of pronouns are termed Adjective Pronouns , because they do the double duty of standing for , and qualifying the noun . There are four sorts of adjective pronouns , called possessive , distributive , demonstrative , and indefinite . The first of these , the possessive , is sufficient for our consideration this week ; since it is a very important section , containing that little word for which , according to the acute observation of your friend Philodemos , ' Mankind has so profound a veneration ; the monosyllable my . The possessive pronouns imply properly . . They are my , thy , his , her , its , our , your , their .

      These are , indeed , very similar to the possessive cases of personal pronouns . But you must remember that the personal pronouns are substitutes for nouns ; the possessive adjective pronouns are added to theiti . Thus in , ' His duties are well performed , ' his is & possessive pronoun ; hut in This hat is his ' itisa ^ ewona / . We frequently add the words own and self to possessive j and self to the objective case of personal when

      pronouns j we do so , it appears to show a species of opposition to somebod y else ; . the sort of spirit , in fact , which actuates a child who sees its mother angry with a brother , or sister , and exclams > lm very good , mother ! ' implying that somebody else is not so . « I live on ray Vvn land !' supposes that this is not the general state of affairs ; I myself m answerable for it , ' . seems to imply , and am quite competent to meet inquiry . ' However , I trust the day is fast approaching when the former sentence will have lost the charm of singularity ; when the mass of the . working classes will cultivate their own land , and live on , and enjoy the fruits of it . 1 am , your very sincere friend , M .

Here w the secret :-When the novice is introduced into the conclave of the Freemasons , the grand . master or his deputy loeks very fierce at him , and draws his sword , which makes the

"Poynder ' s Literary Extracts ( New Series ) . Remedies against Moihs . —It is an old custom with some housewives to throw into their drawers

      every year a number of fir cones , under the idea that their strong resineus smell might keep away the moth . Now , as the odour of these cones is due to turpentine , it occurred to Reaumur te try the effect of this volatile liquid . He rubbed one side of a piece of cloth with turpentine , and put some grubs on the other ; the next morning they were all dead , and , strange to say , had voluntarily abandoned their sheattis , On smearing some paper slightly with the oil , and putting this into a bottle with some grubs , the weakest were immediately killed ; the most vigorous struggled for two or three hours , quitted their sheaths , and died in convulsions . Ic wa ? soon abundantly evident that the vapour'of ' oil ef spirits of turpentine acts as a terrible -poison to the grubs . Perhaps it may be said that even this remedy is

      worse than the disease ; but , as Reaumur juBtly observes , we keep away from a newly-painted room , or leave off for a few days a coat , from which stains have been removed by turpentine . Why , therefore , can we not yearly keep lor a day or two , from rooms that have been fumigated with turpentine ? It is , however , surprising how small a quantity of turpentine is required . A small piece of paper or linen just moistened therewith , and put into the wardrobe or drawers for a single day , two or three times a year , is a sufficient preservative against moths . A small quantity of turpentine dissolved in a little spirits of wine ( the vapour of which is also fatal to the moth ) will entirely remove the offensive odour , and yet be a sufficient preservative . —Glasgow Constitutional .

He went to the fire himself in the hope of being useful , befere which he heard another lodger in the same set of chambers call from his window to the firemen , to inquire how long they thought it would be before the fire could reach that quarter , to which he was answered that itmight be four hours ; upon which he quietly went to bed again , and wa s fast asleep when the chamberlain returned in the morning . —Poynder ' s Literary Extracts .
