Scotch ralTAISOUSete.
Nothing can poisibly vary inore Wide-
ly than the faehiou of different farm-
houses in different parts of. Scotland;
They range from embodiments of the
sternest prose to idyllic -romances of the
poet's. limy, bat it la to be remarked
that they are almost invariably in keep-
ing with the character of the people of
the climate, of the district, and of their
rural surroundings generally. Thus, in
North Eastern Scotland they are severe-
ly practical. Little is sacrificed to sliow,
and beauty, although there may be a
certain compromise with the Eesthetic
when it can be indulged in without ap-
preciable cost. There may be a strug-
iping background of hardy trees, spruce,
hr, larch, or ash, because these are use-
ful as shelter from the wind. There is
a bit of garden, where a fringe of flowers
• runs round a eseinkling of fruitbushes
and some beds of the commoner veget-
ables. There are pear or apple trees
•trained over the walls;. possibly an ivy
brush or a plant or two of roses, although
these last are rare enough. As for the
walls, they are sufficiently solid, as be-
fits a region iichere the winters are so in-
clement. Wholesale reconstructions and
reforms have of late years been proceed-
ing apace on those Northern properties.
The farmsteading is modelled on the
farmheuse, and the whole of the build-
ings have a well-to-do air about them.
But nothing gives one the idea of their
being much of a margin or of the occu-
pants being in very- affluent circum-
stances. Further to the south, in the
straths of Perthshire,teind in the fertile
Lothians, yo find yourself among a race
of leviathan agricultutists. Well -sized
mansions are scattered among the small-
er homesteads, for there are farmers
there who pay rents of £500, £1,000,
and even £2,000 a year or more. These
are the men who agitate on behalf of
their order. They may keep vehicles
that are drawn by a pair on occasion;
they send. their -daughters to second-rate
boarding schools, and buy them evening_
dresses and pianos; and necessarily they
live with a certain pretension. But
there, too,- the prevailing impression is
that due regard is paid to the main
chance. There is no stinting in judicious
business expenditure. The large Scotch
farmer is an excellent customer of the
great agricultural implement maker.
He uses steam plows and patent thresh-
ing mAchines, sowing 'machines, reaping
machines, clod crushers, and all the
rest; and yet he has as many horses in
his stables as his father, and. just as
many hands in hie pay. But as the
fences round his great encloser° are care-
fully straightened and every foot of the
soil is economized, so in the style of his
architecture and in the arrangements
about his dwelling he has carefully
studied to make the smallest sacrifices
that are compatible with his solemn
sense of his position. The garden is
more for use than pleasure. There is
the merest strip of grass reserved by
way of a. lawn; there is but the scantiest
allowance of ornamental timber, and
though there is a scrap of an approach
leading up to the brass-knockered door,
it is squeezed. in between the oats and
the turnips. As for the house, it is in
the style of those roomy Presbyterian
kirks whick are reared by the contribu-
tions of reluctant heritors. It is decided-
ly of the packing -case order of architec-
ture, with a couple of windows on either
side of the entrance, and without the
semblance of a bow -window or a gable
to break the blank baldness of the eleva-
tion. In the Border country, again, you
are conscious of a difference. There the
houses are externally as grim as those
farther north, or even more so; but; seen
in certain aspects, they have a touch of
wild picturesqueness about them. Hap-
pily, over -cultivation. is out of the ques-
tion in that region, and natural beauties
are not to be crushed out under the pres-
sure of the plow and the harrow. There
is no draining away of the abounding
stream that breaks and. flashes at the
foot of the knolls, over the boulders that
strew its bed between banks enamelled
by wild flowers. With the clear, brae,
g air, and. the chances of fair fishing
a d coarsing, you feel that you might
e sily make shift to rough it there for
a few weeks of the summer. —Saturday

Taking Care of the Broom:
It is a little matter, but the proper
care of the broom is one of the sniall
economies that pay not only in the sav-
ing of money, but more largely in cora-
fort. A broom that stands when not in
-nc•e upon the brush part very soon squats
into a one-sided shape, and is very apt
to fall down and get under foot. A
string or ,screw -eye in the handle to hang
the bros.'sa by is often in the way of the
hand when sweeping. So unsatisfactory
are the usual ways of disposing of a
broom that the inventive Yankee has
taken up the matter, and patented
broom -holders are offered. for sale to
housekeepers. Bat one need. not wait
for the vendor of the "patent broom -
holder" to come along ;_just put two
wooden pins into the wall about two
inchee apart, to admit the handle be-
tween and allow the broom part to rest
upon them, and you will not need to buy,
as you have as good a broom -holder as
ca,n be invented.
Horses in the British Army.
The horses are now supposed to enter
the British regiments at three years of
age, but it may be presumed that it some-
times happens they are passed in some-
what older, and, as the records would
show,oecasionally younger. A few years
since, two-yeaa-oles, and even yearlings,
were accepted; but that is altered now.
At first the youngsters do little else but
exercise; but as they advance in strength
they are gradually drilled and _trained
to the duties of soldier life, like recruits,
which not having experienced any dif-
ferent business, they take to as kindly
as though they had been "to the mannee
born." Some of them are so intelligent
they could go through the manteuvres of
a school earaele, or even field day, with-
out a rider to guide them. Military
routine, with. its scrupulous care and reg-
ularity appears to suit them well; for
they mostly look fat and hearty, are Fiaid
to be singularly free from the ills that
horse flesh is, generally heir to, and live
to an age far exceeding the average of
those engaged, in other walks. Different
regiments are differently !nal/aged. • Sonte
cast their horses at a fixed ago —in the
Royal Artillery, for instance, at 12; bit
in the Queen's Blues they are retained so
long as they have a single leg to stand on.
On walking through the stables we ob-
eerved several acknowledged to be 22
years; and the chances are that tothe
are as meoh as N. The old soldiers earry
their age remarkably, and can show as
well on parade now as when theyl were
ten year younger, and, do tb,t, same
-
amount of work. On entering,theeregi-,
ment every young horse is numbered, as-
signed to a troop—of which 'there are
eight, lettered A, B, 0; onwards—and
named after the initial letter. Thus the
horses in A troop are christened Acorn
Archer, Amy; in B troop Bluster Blink!,
er Bullett ; in C troop Cato, Clara, Cora
and si on. Their numbers and, names,
tog.ethe • with their age at and the date
of ioining,cclor and distinguishing marks
and any little peculiarities are entered in
a book kept for the purpose, and a card,
neatly printed, with the name, age,
height and date of joining is affixed to
the stall of each; these cards are revised
every year.
Bible and Fruit Mission.
In December, 1875, two kind-hearted
ladies conceived the idea of alleviating
the condition of the three thousand sick
in the public hospitals of New York, by
carrying them fruit and other delicecies
suited to their needs, and at the same
time administering religious consolation
and surroundirg them with the humani-
zing influences of a friendly interest for
their welfare. The experiment was tried,
with signal success. New helpers were
enlisted, and the charity grew so fast
that at the present moment, a year and a
half from the beginning, more than a
hundred ladies are engaged in the good
work, with auxiliaries in many of the
subarben tewns, whose donations of
fruit. flowers, and other luxuries, so
cheap in the country and, so precious to
the sick and poor of the towns, are for-
warded gratuitously by most of the lead-
ing express compenies. These donations
are personally distributed by the ladies
of the missionunder the direction of the
physicians of the institutions, who bear
testimony to the happy results of this ex-
cellent charity. -
The Charity Hospital, in which the ac-
companying sketches were made, was
the place selecte.d by the missionaries for
the inauguration of their work, and has
been visited by them weekly since the
beginning of their enterprise, ministering
to an average of over six hundred pa-
tients at each visit. The Penitentiary
Hospital, insane asylums, Bellevue Hos-
pital, Homcepathic Hospital, and other
institutions are also visitecl. more or less
frequently- Not only fruit and flowers,
but delicacies of all sorts—tea, sugar,
coffee, jellies, ice-cream, cakes, Tolls, and.
kindred articles, even to fans—are dis-
tributed, together with carefully selected
reading matter, and each gift is accom-
panied by a Scripture text or extract.
The ladies, moreover, sing, read and pray
with the patients, interest themselves in
their private affairs, and often follow
• them with their benefactions after leav-
ing the hospital, reoliiining the vicious,
and finding employment for the needy
and deserving.
In the hospitals the advent of the
missionaries is locked upon as a gala oc-
casion by suffering • .patients, both old
and y oung, their wan faces lighting up
with pleasure as the ladies belonging to
• the mission enter the various wards and
distribute the delicacies the benevolent
have placed at their disposal. To those
of our readers who are so inclined, a visit
to the hospital some Tuesday would be a
work of profitable pleasure and instruc-
tion.

e The Empress Eugenie.
In the new volume which Mr. Blan-
chard Jerrold has recently published in
London, he gives the fo'towing conclu-
sion to the courtship of Louis Napoleon:
It was at the New -Year ball in ',53 that
as the company were passing into the
• supper-room,.Mademoiselle De Monti o
and Madame Fortoul, wife of the Minis-
ter of Public Instruction, reached one of
the doors together. Madame Fortoul,
mastered by that jealousy of the fortun-
ate lady which was general at court,.
rudely rebuked Mademoiselle De Montijd
for attempting to take precedence of her.
The young lady drew aside with great
dignity before this affront, and when she
entered the supper -room the pallor and
trouble in her face at once attracted the
notice of the Emperor as she took her
place at His Majesty's table. In greet
anxiety, he rose and passed behind her
chair to ask what had happened. "What
is the matter? Pray tell me." The
marked and sympatheic attention of the
Emperor drew all eyes upon the lady,
who became covered with confusion. "I
implore you, sire, to leave me," she ans-
wered; every body is looking at us."
Troubled and perplexed, the Emperor
took the earliest opportunity of renewing
his inquiry. "I insist upon knowing.
What is it ? " "It is this, sire," the
lady now answered, haughtily, the blood
mantling her cheek—"I have been in-
sulted to -night, and. I will not expose
myself to a second insult." "To -mor-
row," said the Emperor, in a low, kind.
voice, "nobody will dare to insult you
again." Returned home, Madame De
Montijo and her daughter, their Spanish
blood thoroughly roused, made hasty
preparations to leeve Paris for Italy.
On the morrow morning, however, the
mother received a letter from the Em-
peror, in which he formally asked the
hand of Ma.clemoiselle Eugenie de Monti-
jo in Marriage; and the ladies within a
few clays removed from their apartments
to the Elysee, which was assigned to the
Emperor's betrothed. Within a month
Mademoiselle De Montijo sat on the
• throne of the Tuileries beside Napoleon
• The City of Quebec.
Quebec has every natural advantage,
with the one drawback of a hard winter.
to make a city great. For nine months
in the year it has sufficient water -power
• to drive 10,000 mills. It has at its com-
mand forests of timber which have not
yet echoed to the stroke of the wood-
man's axe. It has the most magnificent
river of North Anaerica at its doors, and
the Grand Trunk Railway on its oppo-
site shore. It has lakes and strearns that
water feitile plains and valleys. But
while Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa ad-
vance in commercial importance, while
Toronto plans new suburbs and Boule-
vards, while Montreal vies with New
York and the old world in magnificeet
buildings, Quebec stands still and mould-
ers. Recently some thousands of people
were rendered house less by a terrific con-
flagration almost in the heart of the city.
The fire was fed by streets of wooden
houses. A. law is pasted that wooden
structures shall not succeed the flimsy
structures that are gone. Fire and law
in many cities of the -New World build
up real stone buildings on the ruins of
the forest -built hats. But not in Que-
bec. The houses which are growing up
on the blackened. ruins are no better than
wood. They are timber shanties in dis-
guise, faced with a single brick. No
building of importance is projected in
the devastated quarter. The great fire
