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 his comfortable chair to a lady or gen- the Emperor, Jerome discarded his wife rrr I ' :2 • - . • . • ' • t sit, and win - it wee mxt se be was tleman who *as int. Vied a that when a child hatiseerired dow seat in it steam ear taken from him simply be* ti &M. 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 of larger growth. I dreamed that little boys girls were Sometimes alio Questions in which their pa not particularly interested, SE swered with the same *inside would have been accord and ladles and little ed to ask nts Were d were &n- ation that them had they been the most insaffera.ble adult r attempt. 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 whining and angry articultdi I thought that little girls to run and romp instead o 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. , The Patterson -Bonaparte. , Family. _ he arts -of n. ere taught being al- t keeping daughter of the, and Married Catharine, 'King of Wirterriburg; and for bis obedi- encelo the despotio will of the Emperor he hid the crown of Westphalia Put on hiihead. After being thus &Betted by her *hitless husband, Madame Patter - on -Bonaparte lived a life of honored retirtlinent and comparative security; while her husband. and those of his family and imperial court, who, in their "pride of place," despised her plebian rank end position, have sunk into for- gotten graves -power, rank, titles, and authority have vanished from their handy A grandson of Madame Bona- parte was admitted into the French army by Napoleon III., and during the Crimean war, as sub-lientenant, was decorated with the order of the Legion of Honor. A Miss Cunningham, ef Carterhangh, Belkirkshire, to whorn Hogg', the Etrriok Shepherd, dedicated one of his fine songs, was afterwards married to Mr. Sibbald, farmer, Bort- haugh, Hawiok. Their eldest daughter, raarried to an Edinburgh gentleman of the Wane of Wilson, emigrated to Ameri- ca with her husband, and when their family grew up, their eldest son mar- 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.

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." • Ofx.',Exprostrott.
