One of the finest displays of Ivy we ever sate waa iu a very old Dutch benne, one built in the wit, days of New York ,State ; the parlor had all the lbeams exposed, and these beams end the heavy window frames -were all draped With. a profusion of Ivy. Any one, with a very small outlay, and. time, atm pro- duce equally fine effects. Ivy out of doors will bear quite a severe freezing, but in the house, if in a state of growth, it must not be allowed to freeze. If the soil is kept Moist, and to remove the dust, the foliage is gone over occasion- ally with a damp sponge or cloth, a plant a foot high will be it. thing of beauty, one twenty feet high, or long, will be a wonder of grace and cheerful- ness.—Anzerican Agriculturist. A Toronto Girl at Whose Birth Her Majesty was Present. In the year 1860 Her Majesty Queen Victoria paid.a visit to such of her military forcea as were then quartered in the great camp at Aldershot; Eng- land. She was present at a grand re- view, made a thorough inspection of the soldiers' huts, tasted the food of the rank and file as it was prepared for dinner, and, finally, visited the wo- men's hospital erected specially for the accommodation of soldiers' wives. While passing through one of the wards, the nurse in charge informed Her Majesty that one of the patients was then momentarily expecting to be confined. The Queen desired that if the• child was born before She left the building she should be informed of the faot. Five minutes later the expected information was brought. Her Ma- jesty then enquired. what regiment the woman's husband belonged to, and was told the lst battalion of the 16th. De- siring to know the woman's name, she learned that it was Mrs. Stinson. The Queen then requested that the child should be named Victoria', and upon leaving the hospital sent down a box of clothing for the infant, a 6hristening cap and dress being among the arti- des contained therein. The box was brought to the hospital by General Pennefather. Her Majesty also lodged five pounds in the bank to the credit of the child, with instructions that it was to remain therein, with interest ac- cruing, until Victoria . Stinson was twenty-one years of age. Two years later the regiment came to Canada, and in course of time Stinson, leaving the army, settled in Toronto with his wife and family. In this city he re- mained for many years, but finally re- moved to Cliftoe, where he died a short timeago. His widow re -married, re- maining in Clifton. A few days ago the daughter, Victoria Stinson, • at- tained the age of twenty-one years, and, with her mother, visited Toronto for the purpose of learning how the money awaiting her order could be obtained. The amount will now reach about twelve pounds. • The HorEle's Neck and. Bearing Reins. - a given the horse strength/ °tiled hie neck with Mann - can be insensible to the utterances which, even in incapable of rendering the of the original tongue, modern poetry into the man seems- to think that nliast th Rest thou c der?" Wh magnificent hingelage fun beauty throw all o shade Ye the Creator a idea of the horse's neck was a very imperfect one, and just as he neutrali es by iron shoes the nat- ural elastici y of the hoof, he by means of various ntrivanoes renders nuga- tory the ex uisite mechanism of the bonese mus les and ligaments from the Reck to he shoulder- I wonder whether an of our readers have ever thought ab utt the structures whieh enable the rorse to hold his head up without fat ue. We could net do it, and if we w re placed on all fours we should soo find our heads drooping from sheer fatigue. In order to see how this accomplished. we must make a dies, ction of the horse's neck. If we plaee a, hand on the back of our neck and bend the head forward, we will feel a strong ligament. If the akin be re oved frcm the neck of a human beiug, this ligament is seen to be chord like, and not to present any peculiarity Of structure. In the horse, however, it is developed into a most wonderful elastic mechanism. Lap- ping over t throws out whit% hi fa brae, of the e back of the neck, it set of projections, each of toned to one of the verte- eek in such a manner that, while it gives support to that particu- lar vertebrae, it works simultaneously with the ot ers. Thus the animal can t toss or shaIe its head, turn it round to its flanks, o depress it to its knees, the powerful a d elastic ligaments per- roitting all these movements, and by their own xjesibence restoring the head and neck t their normal position when the muscleare relaxed. The weight of the head and neck is very consider- : able, and b their movements the bal- SIM of the body is materially aided, e. g., in wa lking ap a very steep hill, the horse, hen at liberty, throws his head and nei3ok well forward, so as to th keep the light as much as possible in front of fore feet. In descending the same hill, the horse holds his head as far back as. he can, so as to throw the weight behind the fore feet. Man, however, is pleased to fancy that this freedom cf action looks mean and. spiritless, and that a horse ought to hold his bead -up, no matter whether he is asceinling or descending a hill, standing still, walking, trotting, or gal- loping. Hi n model seems to be the wooden boese of the toy ehops, and the nearer ' approach that he can make to the stiff rigidity of the toy horses the better he is pleased. As if to increase the resepabiance, he even cuts the mane short, "hop" it, as the expression is, so as to make it look like the drip of fur glued on the neck of the wooden horse. 8o, besides the reins, he attaches to the i,it a leath r strip called a bearing rein til suppos because it is hard for the terse to be —and fastens it to the seddle, so ds to render the animal in. capable of lowering its head beyond a certain poi t, according to the length 6f the rein. ot content with this, a still more sever instrument was invented, and is known by the name of the "gang" on Bedouin bearing rein. — cod ;Vert/8. Have "Zou Started the Ivy P The plant of all plants for the house is the Ivy. If one has a piece, a bit only six inehes long, with time and patience all the rest will follow. This piece may be had of a friend, or any nurseryman or florist will send a small rooted pla$ or some cuttings by mail for a small enm. If the plant has roots, *lent it in a pot, of 'good soil. If it has roots do the same, and it will soon lauke roots., for it in one of' the easiest *11 thing to grow from cuttings. ow of grovth at first, if given laager aa the root requires, it will in tee run to be trained over the window 1110". and many of the scenes of Christ's life appeared in carveda$ properlyzolored workMalip before us. Shepherds stood or sarwatching their flocks dis- porting on the green turf, the river Jordan was seen, its billows rising and falling,ithrough the feathery palms, Jacob's well and the women were there. At a signal the machinery was set in motiou, and far off among the distant hills could be seen the procession of the Eaatem sages coming. led by the star, to the place in the foreground where the cradled Chzist lay. At length they arrived, made their obeisance, left their gifts and wended their way back till lost stght of among the distant hills. In like manner, for nearly two hours, scene after scene of the Saviour's life was depioted and enacted by puppet figures, with a marvellous realism that reminded some of the spectators of the wonderful Passion Play. But the finest. otall was the lastdreadscene on Cal- vary. The lightning flashed, tbe thunder rolled, the rooks. visibly fell before our eyes, graves till then un- notioedopened in various places, the sheeted dead stood up and the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom exhibiting within the Holy Place, the sacred vessels and the mercy seat. The ascension and the burning of Jerus- alem closed the exhibition. Scores of other scenes in the Saviour's life were also shown whioh we have no space to describe. Suffice it to say that the man who could carve out these hun- dreds of figures, and arrange the actuat- ing machinery, principally with a jack- knife and a little coloring matter, is a meohanioal genius of no ordinary sort. With Herr Schmidt the work has been truly a labor of love, in a sense, a re- ligions work. H43 has given close study t,o the narrative of the Evangelists, and has it all in memory verbatim.-- Water- loo Chronicle. A Selkirk Worthy. Almost everylScottish town and village has had its worthies,whese peculiarities, according to their tendency, either gained the favor of the community or the reverse. The writer is under the impression that the old "drolls" are nearly "a' wede away," and that their genial, pawky humor iet vanishing with them. The following incidents, so characteristic of an old Selkirk "worthy," occurred between fifty and sixty years ago." The person of whom We write was a much -respected "souter," and one who filled a variety of posts in his day, amongst which were those of "beadle" and "bedlar." , Regarding his last Mentioned occupation,;we may here state that on one particular occasion— viz., the Bailie's dinner—the old man was requested. to give a toast, when, obedient to the call, he raised his glass, and, with a merry twinkle in his eye gave the following; "Ma rvice tae ye a', gentlemen!" It will be unnecessary, for ns to record that none present had the discretion or courage to "Thank you!" On another occasiou, whilst engaged in digging a grave, a gentleman of the district, who was known to be a man of substance, but considered rather limited in intellectual capacity, found his way into the graveyard, and going towards the old sonter, when that functionary was reverently covering a skull with- the loose mould, made the following observation: "You are very busy, I see, R—. That's surely an empty one you are covering up?" "Deed, ay, sir," replied the gravedigger, I 'that laeiclpiece belanged tae yin that had naair Biller than brains, like some that oo ken o' 1" The same old worthy, once on a very hot Sunday in the month of June, feeling rather fatigued, at down behind rine of the gravestoues between "preachings," fell sound asleep, and slept too long for the second "ingoing." The people had all gathered, but the beadle slept on, and. dreamt of that day when the graves shall open, and those that sleep therein shall come forth. Jinn as these thoughts were passing through his mind, some boys took the liberty of ringing the Auld Kirk bell, the solemn tones of which struck upon the old man's ears as being the last trump's awful sound. He sprang to his feet, clasped his hands firmly together, and looked around him in expectation of witnessing the grand and glorious transformation scene. The result was disappointing, and wrung from the old man the fol- lowing exclamation: "Eh, whow rale this, iz a vete day for Selkirk. Guid save us 1 only yin o' uz ! ONLY YIN !"— Q. P., in Border Magazin& A Marvel of Ingenuity. For the last three or four years there has lived and quietly pursued his daily work, unknown and unnoticed amongst us, a German immigrant, who has in his leisure hours completed a work which is at once a marvel of ingenuity and a monument of patient labor. His name is Schmidt; and he is a book- binder by trade. On Monday evening last sMozen or so of gentlemen of the town were invited bv him to call at his house and witness an exhibition of the reeult of several years labor and study.
