PREFACE.
AMU,^ >dl the troubled waters of the pre,oat warlike and i«nie-.trick«
t,me« where shall „. tod rest for the sole of our foot? and who wiU «,.»*
«,.«hve branch of peace and goodwill? Yet, public activity, and jo,, Z
^ef, must have the.r quiet intervals, though it may be few and fi be-
tween ; then, perhaps, an old Family Friend may bo welcomed once more,
and happy times renewed with old familiar faces.
And now yiewing our past and present performances, as in a lengthened
tapestry r^ll of the antique fashion, on which industrious Angers worked
con muously from year to year, we ask our«,lves auxiously-havo we wrought
wU «„ portmn of our storied web ?-arc the colours as fresh and tasl-
fullyassorted-the patterns as harmonious, truthful, pure and graphic as
before ? h oUier words, have we worthily maintdned our fitk tft"
honoured position we have so long «;cupied in the homes of England ? We
make no pause for a reply,-that has been given to our highest satisfaction
m the eoutinued mcrease of our subscribers, and the steadfastness of those
who^have been with us from the commencement of our long and successM
Often, when we have reflected on the vast number of readers of intel-
hgence and refinement to whom we have so long been a household ^dl!
w have inquired what has been the secret of this rare success f^iZl
on^y solution we eoiUd iind was this-thatwe have been in Jr: ^^^ ot
wo k-that wo have religiously adhered to the object and principles wia
which we commenccd-that we have introduced nothing in '„ r^ , ™
atmg for the sacred precincts of the domestic temple.
Without boasting, we may say of the volume now respectfully submitted

. Frank, instead of noticing this prudent

towards Annie, and merely observed,

We imagine that the conclusion formed

w^ich was arrived at by their parents on
that important subject.-for Frank urged

for two years, for the restoration of his
health. In 1861, he returned to Bombay,
and was soon after made Brevet-Colonel
and appointed Quartcrinaster-General and
then A^'utant-General of the Queen's
troops in India. These appointments he
owed to Lord Hardinge, at whose side he
had fought in the three battles of the
Sutlej campaign. In the expedition to
l^ersia, he was appointed to the second
dmsion, and commanded the troops at
Mohammerah; but the glory of the ac
tion at this place was due to the naval
force. He returned to Bombay at the
conclusion of the, peace with Persia, and
embarked in the Urin for Calcutta; but
he was wrecked in April last, off the coast
ot Ceylon. Five days afterwards he ob-
Gained a passage in the Fire Queen, and
on reaching Calcutta he was sent up to
Alhihabad as Brigadier-General, to com-
mand the moveable column, with which
he has at last, in four decisive actions
defeated t^e Mahratta fiend, Nena Sahib
Before the action at Futtehpore com-
menced, General Havelock thus addressed
the 78th Regiment:- "Highlanders,
when we were going to Mohammerah.
I promised you a field-day. I could not
give it you then, as the Persians ran awav •
but Highlanders, we will have it to-day
and let them see what you are made of'
Here they routed the enemy, and took
twelve guns. In the action at Cawnpore.
on the 16th of July, 1857, the enemy,-
13 000 strong, with six guns, and Nena
feahib at their head— were defeated bv
u P^^^^^l', y^^^ ^'3^ Europeans, and
f°l^ li?.^'^^'- ^^^"^ *^« tattle, h^ said
to the 78th,-« Highlanders, I ha^e been
m twenty.seven fights, and I never saw a
regiment behave better. I will say more •
1 never saw a regiment behave so well "
Ihe account of what he saw when tie took
possession of Cawnpore cannot be read
without the deepest feelings of indigna-
tion and horror. General Havelock's force
had. in eight days, marched 126 miles,
tought four battles with Nena Sahib's
army against overwhelming odds in point
ot numbers, and taken twenty-four guns,
all in the month of July in India '
The progress of the General to Bhitoor
(which was found burned to the ground)
led to the conclusion that Nena Sahib h^A
been so conipletely deserted and defeated
that he had committed suicide J but tW»
has not been confirmed.
A correspondent of the Timet writes •
fi,' *t?r ^°'"'" ^^® General for more
than thirty years, most intimately, and
«in say with confidence that he has neTer
baptized anyone; neither, in the strict
professional sense of the word can he be
wid to have '.preached.' When he em!
barked for Burmah in 1824. in company
with his regiment, his Majesty's 13th
*oot, he was in the habit of assemblimr
as many as could be prevailed on to attend
for devotional exercises, and he occasion-
ally expkmed the Scriptures to them
m a brief address. They were allowed to
assemble at the great Shoey Dagoon pa.
goda, the glory of Rangoon, and therein
a chamber fiUed with the cross-leeged
images of Buddha, might be seen little
Native lamps placed in the lap of the
images, and one hundred and more of the
soldiers of the 13th around Lieutenant
Havelock. singing the praises of the livinir
and true God. Independently of the r^
hgious benefit of these services, it was a
most desirable object to keep these men
trom licentious indulgences in a conquered
town by the strength of Christian prin-
ciple. They used to be called ' Havelock's
bamts; and the General-in-Chief, Sir
Archibald Campbell, on one occasion of a
sudd^ alarm at Prome, at night, finding
It difficult to collect speedily a suflScient
body of soldiers, ordered the officer to caU
out 'Havelock's Saints;' 'I can always/
said he. 'depend on them-. They, at all
events, are sober and ready for duty,'
When he returned to regimental'dnfy
he continued to attend to the religious
and moral wants of his Company with
conscientious care, and assembled them
as opportunity offered, for religious ser-
^ vices. Of course some were displeased
with these * non-military proceedings, as
they were called, and various communi.
cations adverse to him were made to the
Commander-in-Chief, Lord William Ben-
tmck, and he was described as a strait-
weed saint, a Dissenter, and withal a
Baptist. Soon after the Adjutancy of the

It was mdeed an anxious time; people
lived as though a thunderstorm darkened

breath for the sultry air. Thunder came
at last-war thunder: the enemy broke

things were spoken of. In one place they
had plundered, in another they drove
away the cattle, burnt down liouses,
ravaged the helds. and ill-treated the
inhabitants Our village was for a time

Mario and Antony iceeping close tojro-
ther, hMtened on witliout Hpowkinff
Ihey were near the hill when the young
girl uttered a faint cry and trembled in
every limb; she saw bayonets gliiten
although aa yet far ofl'. •' It is the so'-
diers," .aid Antony, "we mnst get into
the forest before tliey reaeh the crow, for
we cannot hide here. Lot ua go a little
faster, but not run, so n« to keep up our
•trength." At length thoy had passed
the lull ; meantime the soldiers had come
nearer and nearer, and unluckily it was
M light 08 day, every object was distinctly
visible. It was impossible that the two
could reach the forest undetected. They
heard a loud call. " Now or never i"
whisporod Antony, and dragged Marie on
with hnn. Foar quickened their steps
and they mn as though they had wings.
1 wo shots were llred, but fell short: and
in n tew minutes the fugitives were con-
coaled by the trees. Yet breathless as
they were, they rested not until thev had
penetrated fur into the thicket, where
pursuit was no longer to be dreaded
Long before this fatal night Meyer had
huned his money, and most valuable
property, so that lie had nothing further
to do but to awaken the neighbours, and
provide food and drink for tho ter^^ified
villagers, whereby to keep up their
courage as much as possible. In a short
time every one was afoot; but all in
terror, alarm, and confusion. Each ran
in the other's way; each hurried to save
and hide something, whatever he could
it was as though each ono thought the
soldiers would carry off all the household
goods ; beds and bedsteads, chairs, chests,
ana tables.
Suddenly the rattle and roll of drums
was heard, weapons i!a.^ lu', anH the
enemy inarched into ':} ., v ,] ve, md word
was given for every ..ne lo ,tav quietly
m-doors. Presently bi'.«3k Prank entered
a (itu
in in
• honse, "Meyer." he said, "now it 1-
tiostion of life and death. Y„ur ftt "

•' .She is not here," wbm the answer.

man; one way or the other; you bavo
no time to deliberate. I muJt know It

A»d you, Meyer, will have cause to re'
member this night,"
Black Frank strode away, but in a few
mmutes returned with a party o" sol
<l.ers: "That is tho richest nmn i„ the
village, he said, pointing to Meyer ; "ho
must pay for all tho rest ; don't let hi„.
go."
Then the uproar began : " Money
money," was their cry. Meyer gave
them what he had, but it was not much
Ihey were not in the least satisfied, and
broke open every closet and cofler. to
search for hidden gold. It was a painful
sight, to see how they tore overythinff
out; garments and household linen pre-
pared as part of Marie's marriage portion •
the clothes worn by her mother who had '
long been dead, all were scattered and
trampled under foot. Many cherished
memorials, *hich for years had been care-
tully preserved, were all at once destroyed
by the rude handling of the plunderers.
It cut old Meyer to the heart; yet he
was obliged to bear it in silence, without
uttering a word. Tho soldiern flearohed
every corner, but found nothin > u li u.ey
wanted, f(,r the money had bem In-iefi
long before, and lay in the g-u-' ;a nude,
the pear-tree.
They stormed more furiously than ever
would listen to no remonstrance or per-
suasion, and acted like madmen. Tliey
snatched Meyer's watch from his pocket
tore the betrothal ring fVom hfs finger'
pushed him about with the stocks of their
muskets, and demanded a large sum of
money, to be paid down there and then
on the spot.

THE PRINCESS ROYAL.
In the happy life of cnventeen yean of
the fair PriuceBS of England, who is jurt
now an object of eager interest, adinira-
tion and love to the people of two nations
— in this hitherto short, hut most brif(ht
and heautitul life, there is little that can
be related in the way of a memoir, for it
is veiled in that domestic privacy in
which alone the youthful feminine
character can be rightly developed. The
Princess Royal was bom in the year of
the Queen's marriage, November, 2l8t,
1840, and was welcome<l with enthu-
eiasm by the English public who regarded
hor as a new heir to the throne. Her
christening was celebrated with signal
grandeur, in the Throne Room of Buck-
ingham Palace, and many eminent per-
sons were present who have since passed
frotn mortal scenes; foremost of these
were the Queen Dowager, the Duke of
Wellingttm, Viscount Melbourne, and the
Ddkes of Sussex and Cambridge. Her
Iloyal Highness was named Victoria
Adelaide Maria Louisa, afi.er her august
mother and the Queeil Dowager. The
Princess was a fair and delicately
formed girl, and has grown np as charm-
ing in person as she is accomplished in
mind; her eyes are blue and of arch ex-
pression, and her movements are full of
grace, dignity and ease. In 1841, the
Prince of Wales was born, and the right
of succession passed from the Royal
Princess, but her rank as Princess Royal
she retains for life. The early years of
the Princess exliibits many pleasing and
promising features.
During one of the cold and stormy
nights of January 181-3, the little Prin-
cess was awakened by the loud and
frequent coughing of some one without,
and starting up in alarm inquired of her
sleepy attendant what it was. On being
informed that it was the sentinel on daty
on the terrace (Windsor) beneath the
tower, the Princess observed, "Oh, poor
fellow, he has got a very bad cough;"
and after repeated expressions of sorrow
for the " poor soldier out in the cold,"
again fell asleep. The weather continued
for several days unfiwom'able, but one

THE RAINBOW.
JBometimes amid the darkened sky,
A beauteous rainbow meets the eye,
Sparkling amid the drops of rain
We hail its glorious hues again.
Emblem of brighter days to oomo,
When life's sad pilgrimage is done;
Those glorious tints which gild the sky,
Kcmind us of our home on high.
The rainbow, with its colours bright,
Will soon be hidden from our sight.
It shows us earthly things decay,
Wither, and fade, and pass away.

THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.
Hath the past for the«i been teemlnir
With a bright uucloudod Joy P
Hath no vai" and Idle dreaming
Mixed with life, its baso alloy P
Hath thy days been full of lightness?
Hiith thy nights Ik'ou ftrec from nirop
Hath no shuituw dimmed earth's briKhtDcn* P
Still thou needest to bewunt I
Happy hours, tw (pdckly fleeting,
Hoon are nutnlterod with the past;
Jov and sorrow oft are meeting.
Like the sunbeam and the blast.
Art thou one whom grief and sadness,
Mark for their esiMU-ial prey I
Doth no cheering beam of gladness,
Jilght thee on thy toilsome way ?
Doth no roses with their beauty.
Hide the thorns that grow beneath?
Hath not the stern path of duty,
To adorn it, one bright wreath ?
Htill, despair not I dark and tlreary,
Though, may be thy present life;
'Tis the hearts that never weary,
Who are victors in the strife.
Ilalh thy past been full of gladness?
Nerve thee for the coming strife I
There are bitter drops of sadness
Mingled in the eup of life.
Sorrow is no idle Action,
But a yoke wo all must share ;
Yet, remember, in affliction
When it seemeth hard to bear.
Sooner, when the storm is strongest,
Will its fury pass away ;
When the night hours seem the longest
Brighter dawns the coming day.
Hath thy cup of life been freighted
With a load of grief and scorn P
Hath thy spirit ever mated
With the wretched and forlorn P
Struggle onward, still keep trying,
Happier days are yet in store.
Thinlt how quickly time is flying !
Think how soon will life be o'erl
And thv spirit worn and weary
As the bird, that seeks her nest
Through the tempest dark and dreary,
Gladly folds her wings to rest I
Thou Shalt see the sunbeams waking
From the slumbers of the night.
And the stormy darkness breaking
Into floods of heavenly light !

A SIMILE.
Pab, far below the dashing wave,
The costliest pearls abide ;
Deep in the caverns of the earth.
The brightest diamonds hide;
And so 'tis in the human heart
The noblest thoughts lie deep.
Like gems that hidden from the Ugbt,
Unknown, unvalued sleep.

A CHRISTMAS MAZE.
^ INSTBUCTIONS to the TrAVBLLBB THKOrGH
THB Mazb. — The instructions for this seasonabie
flrefiide amusement are as follow :— Tlio Traveller
must enter at the opening at the foot, and mu8t
pass between the Imett forming tlio road to the
Castle in tiie -niddle. There are no bars in the
route : one rord crosses another by means of a
bridge, bo that cure must be taken that, in follow-
ing'the route, the traveller does not stray iVom
one road to another, and thus lose the track. For
instance, on enterlnp, he will have to pass under
CHRISTMAS CJAJVIES;

This substitute for a Christmas tree, if not so
elegant, yet generally causes more amusement
Iho presents intended for distribution, shoulri
each be wrapped in paper and placed in a plato
basket. This must be Hlled with bran. Each ol

into the bran and whatever they draw up, is their's
Often the spoon is found to contam nothing but

a bridge of another road crossingr over his
path : in continuing the route he will next pass
over a bridge crossing another road; and thus
continue his course. A little practice will ac-
eustom the traveller to the method of the Maze.
It is not a fair test of the merits of the Maze to
tommenoe from the centre ; but the traveller will
be at full liberty, wh»n he has entered the Castle,
to get out again if he can.
A KBW GAMS FOB OHUiDBHT.
The players shoiM stand in a ring, holdinz |
hands. In the middle, put a hassock turned i
one end. The object of the game is, by pullinj I
and pushing your iieighbours as you run round I
the mat, to make them overturn it, and to avoid
doing it yourself. If any: one upsets it, he is out
of the game. The players go on till there is on); |
one left ,and this one is the winner of the game.
