A Queer Dream.
I want to tell yu, children, of the
queer dream I hal la night. I dreamed
that many things w re greatly changed
from what I had. alw ys been accustom -
ell to see them. i
1 thought, for instance, that babies'
mouths were no longer made as com-
mon as the common shaving mug at the
-barber's, but that nobody presumed to
,kiss a baby until the infant had urgent-
ly requested the favor.
I thought that when a baby's stomach
was full to-overflo 'ng with food -the
oT
homeopathic theory f simile sirnilibus
ourantur was follow d, and instead of
plying him with more food to relieve
hira from the distresie occasioned by the
overplus of food which was distressing
him, his stomach was permitted to pay
exclusive attention teia getting rid of its
present burden.
And I fancied that the young thing
was no longer tossed about until every
bone threatened to beak, when he was
-
d only to be allow -
rocked into dizzi-
had grown weary
very tired, and wish
ed rest and sleep, no
nese when the tosse
of the tossing.
I thought, too, that the infant had
ceased, being swathed in tightly rolled
wraps, and was now clothed in loosely
fitting garments which allowed him to
move his body and llrabs with ease and
freedom.
I dreamed that babies were never
whipped because their mammas had
Iost their temper, and that they were
never made drank With soothing syrup,
that their mammas might attend the
lecture, the play or the bail,
I thought that a grown person had
ceased to ask a child its age, if its hat
or its dress or its 'elides were new, or
where it got them, or any of the ques-
tions which are oontndered invertinent
when addressed to an adult. :
I thought that when a little boy was
very tired he was not forced to give up Compelled to bend to t e iron will of

I thought it had become t e fashion
te say "thank you" to a boy nt1emaia,
or miss -lady, and that "yea! sir,'" and
"no ina'am",were no longer exclusively
used in "Addressing gentlemen

at always
bores you ever heard of.
I thought that parents nev
ed to deceive their children,
told them the truth without prevarica-
tion or evasion.
I thought that the adage, ",Children
should be seen, but not heard," had be-
come obsolete, and that when a child
spoke he was listened to with the same
attention that would ha; been be-
stowed upon him were he t ent years
older.
I dreamed that because parents had
forgotten how to whine and Scold, ohil-
dren had failed to learn

I thought that little girls

lowed to sit all day, and th
their clothing unsoiled and muscles
flaccid was not the whole of their edu-
cation.
1 thought that mothers eared more to
see their boys with ruddy clieeka than
with clean hands, and that lungs and
limbs were considered as worthy of de-
velopment as braille.
I thought that parents were as polite
and kind in talking and dealing with
their own children as with the children
of others. ' '
I thought that children were more
like pleasant adults , because of all
these transformations, and that adults,
for a like reason, retained more of the
freshness and ingenuousnesS of chiid-
hood.
Now, children, wasn't this a most
ridiculous dream? 4
Dressing Curt s.
There are three ways of d ssing mus-
lin er lace curtains. The fist st way is,
to starch them in hot tamet and pin
them out full size on the floer ; but this
is rather objectionable, as it leaves so
many ugly points on the edges of the
curtain. We tried the second way, and
that was, to take a single curtain,
which had been previously starched -in
hot starch, and dried.
On beginning our lesson, we found our
basins with the original stareh lying in
a cake at the bottom ; this We mixed up
as before, but making it a little thinner
than what Was required for single starch-
ing. We then dipped in our curtain
t
and wet it thoroughly in the starch:
th
then passed it throughe wringer. But
instead of dry -rubbing it after, we were
shown how to cateh one end in the left
hand, and the other in the right, and
dap the curtain all over in that way; then
to fold it in a cloth and slap it again on
the table.
, Two pupils worked at each curtain,
as it took up so much space; they stood
at opposite sides of the table, and iron-
ed the curtain as it lay lengthwise be-
tween them. As soon &waleipart was
finished it was rolled tip lo sely, but
evenly, to make room fbr-the rest; and
when the whole curtain was done, quite
smooth and straight, it was ;placed oa a
roller before the fire to stiffen. This
mode of dressing curtaiins-double-
starching-will prevent thane from be-
coming limp in damp weather, and will
also keep the dirt from sinking into the
i
fabric.
The third mode is just the satne as
the second; but instead of ironing the
curtains they are fastened into a frame
(which oan be expanded ecoarding to the
size of the Curtain), and kept in place
by a multitude of tiny hooks. Quite a
number of Curtains may be so finished
at one time, provided they ' are all of
one size.

Hogg', the Etrriok Shepherd, dedicated

married to Mr. Sibbald, farmer, Bort-

ried a granddaughter of Madame Pat-
terkn-Bonaparte,. and some years ago
they visited $his country -were at Mel-
rose, Drylentgh, Abbotsford, and other
places in _Scotland of like interest.
Madame Patterson -Bonaparte died at
Baltimore on the 4th of April, ‘1879, at
the 4atriarchal age of ninetriour.-
Ladio' Journal.
Madame Patterson -Bonaparte was the
daughter of John Patterson,' who settled
in the city of Baltimore iu ' 1776. -Her
grandfather was Robert Patterson, born
in 1715, at the hamlet of Haggis Ha',
Hawick, but who removed to Dumfries-
shire in 1776, where he married Eliza-
beth Gray, daughter of Rebert Gray,
gardener to Sir John Jardine, of Apple-
garth. Obtaining a lease oi a freestone
quarry on advantageous terms, he re-
sided in the parish Of Morton for some
years with his family, but, becoming
imbued with strong religious feelings in
a certain direction, he gradually gave -
way to a strange desire to,visit the
graves of the -martyred and persecuted
Covenanters, tiff the desire completely
absorbed lig mind, and, neglecting wife
and family, he, accompanied by a white
pony, travelled, for years through the
counties of Ayr, Ga1lows4, and Dum-
fries, repairing, lettering, and adorning
with the rade emblems of death the
neglected gravestones of the 'martyrs
where he found them, up to the time of
his death, on the 14th of February,
1801. The all -absorbing idea that so
colored the later years of Patterson's
life procured for him the stamp* of im-
mortality through the world faroed
work of Sir Walter Scott, "Old Mortali-
ty." In 1776 his youngeet son, John;
went out to America, and settled in the
city of Baltimore, where he amassed a
fortune as a planter, and took a good
position in Baltimore society. Here he
married a Baltimore lady of consider-
able personal attractions, but of what
family or name we never learned, only
that she moved as the best society that
then existed in that city. Whoever was
the lady Mr. Patterson took for his wife
(your correspondent says She was the
second daughter of a Mr. John Wither-.
ston, of a Herefordshire family), the
family bestowed great care on the edu-
cation of their daughter Elizabeth, who
grew up adonaed with both graces of
mind and rare personal attractions. In
1802, Jerome Bonaparte, in command of -
a French vessel of war, called in at
Baltimore, and at a ball iii that city
saw and fell in 'love with the beautiful
Miss Patterson, and shortly after made
her his wife. This step, when known
by his imperial brother,' excited his
wrath to a great degree, so much BO
that he ordered him tea annul the mar-
riage, as he had fornied the resolution
of uniting him with one of the Royal
• Princesses of the King of Wirtemburg.

The Radicals are violently excited
against the judicature on account of
the release of Prince Napoleon. It is
believed Napoleon, encouraged by the
late events in Fraace, intends to start a
newspaper. Napoleon is about to pro-
ceed to England to visit the ex -Em-

When the Eagle Hotel was burned at
Grand Rapids, Michiean, a drummer
sallied forth, clad enly in his night
shirt, 'and a frightened expression of
countenance. In the hallway he met
one of the servant girls similarly cloth-
ed, and asked her if he knew the way
out. She aaid she did, andtaking him,
by the lily white hand, she led him
forth, and theyaotight refuge in another
hotel, The drummer subsequently evin-
ced his gratitude to the cool-headed girl
by buying her an outfit of clothing.
A Montreal lady writes from Florida:
"Roller skating at the St. James Rink,
Jacksonville, is one of our most popular
diversions just at present; and instead
of ice grottoes as you have in your rink,
and ice palaces on Dominion Square,
we have tubs with orange and lemon
trees and a profusion of flowers. After
the exercise, we take a stroll in the
thinnest of summer clothing. Still, I
sigh for a sight of dear old snow-covered
Canada and its bracing winter sports.
I know that many invalids would re-
gain health in Canada's cold, dry, ex-
hilarating air, who only come here to
die amid the humid, languid though'
soft, air of Florida."
