Her lovely face, gentle manner, and pweet Christian temper., set off in such striking relief by contrast with hei* father’s sternness, made her the most attractive maiden in toe village, aiid many| a gallant young lover ventured'to woo her.' To all she bad the sanie word of reply— she could not leave her- father. She performed with heV own hands every household duty, arid was the only,ray of sunshine in that wintry home. +Her father loved her intensely, in his cold way, but his mariner was so forbidding she hatl never nestled in his bosom and her affection for him was deeply min gled w jth a full share of filial fear.

At last her father yielded, and she w;as wedded on. condition that she should not de sert the paternal ¡roof.

Two beautiful children—the eldest a boy whojj strongly resembled his father, and a daughter, a Ejecond Grace who bore the impress of her mother’s gentle J temper, were ¡added to the household group, but nothing was yet heard qf the absent Robert.

He was not of a hopeful temperament, and could see no relief in the futuije, so he suddenly resolved-to sell out his-farm and enter upon a'new life in tlhe west ern wilderness?

Daring the reign of Richard II., (Ihaucer was involved in great ' disas ters. -In 1388, at the age of sixty, we find him a political pvi.sonerln London, his pensions,and his. prosperity -alike gone.’ But the next year, John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster,1 return ed, and became once more his steady protector; and from this time until his death, in the year 1400, his prosperity continued to increase. He died on the 25th of October, and was buried iu AM üjitjQiiniitûv -AJihey ___ . • Few -poets ha^e commenced to writç. at an earlier age than Geoffrey Chau cer ;■ and few, certainly, have contin ued to write at a more advanced one ; for he began his greatest work, “ The Canterbury Tales,’’ when he was in his sixty-sixth year. His first poem o f note was the “ Court of Love,” pub lished when he was nineteen years of age.- His “ History of Tiroilus and Uresscide’’ was the delight of Sir Phil ip Sydney. “ The Flour 'and the Leaf,” modernized .by -Dryden, was prunounc^ed by the poet Campbell “ an* exquisite piece of fairy-fancy.” Pope modernized, also, .. his “ House of Fame.” But the glory o f all these is obscured by the last and greatest of his works. “ The Canterbury Tales”’ are the adventures of. twenty^nine pilgrims, who. met at an inn in Southwark, on their way to the shrine of T.iornas a Becket'. Each pilgrim tells his own story. Chaucer’s pôetry is essentially dramatic and picturesque. The cos tume and dress o f the Canterbury pil grirns—of the knight, the squire, the Wife of the Bath—speak for them selves. His descriptions of natural scenery are in the same kind of excel lence, with a local freshness about them which gives the very feeling of the atmosphère, the-coldness and mois ture of the ground; - . 1 His proud title of “ Father of Eng lish Poetry ’’ is not aloné ai tribute t.Q his poetical excellence, great as that was ; but because he did more lhau any one else-to bring the English lan guage to its present form.’ He wrote when that language was iu its infancy At a time when all the gentlemen and ladies in the kingdom spoke only French, he chose to write in his na tive tongue—the grand, ! sturdy old Saxon—and he proved what a mine of richness it was. He delighted ..and instructed ' England, ' as [ the bright mo.rning star of her national literature, and at the well of his thought the scholar of lo-day drinks with ever fresh delight. —^ ------------ - M atrim ony . —A confirmed! bache lor uses the'ifbllowing argument against matrimony : Calico is a great prprap ter of laziness.

They fought splendidly ; but ail valor was useless,1^and finally it was determined to jsurrerider, as the regiment was completely surrounded. When the ¡fact was announced, to llenry, be remarked:—“ Well, com rades, I can light witnj^rcfh any time, bnt I can’t surrender. That never came in our drill.

For several moments the enemy were so astonished by the very audacity of tlie charge, that it proved successful, and full a huudred yards had the fugitives cleared, before a volley of lead was sent after them. This passed harmlessly above and a- rou'nd them. A seepud fire ivas made, which wounded one1 o f the ten, ,a.nd caused him to fall j’rbm his horse. In stantly Henry reigned up,-his steed, sprung from the saddle, rati to liis wounded companion, caught him up in his arms, ran back to his horse, lifted him in front, and, mounting a- gaiq, Bped. onward. As though to specially reward such devoted heroism fortune ordained-tjliat this little band, with its wounded horseman should escape in safety.— Soldier's Casket. , -------------- --- - -mr* --------s--------r A ge of , the ¡P yramids —Mahmud Bey, .astronomer to the Viceroy of Egypt, has published aiu interesting treatise,, with the view o%«roving their daies from their connection with ¡Si rius, the Dog-star.] The l|te Vicero}', Said Pasha, ordered,him tb work out his jiroblem. , 116 found the- exact measurement ofthei largest to be 231 metres .at th|e base, y and 140,40 from the ground to the'apex. |Hencje it fol lows that the si ies' are at’an angle of fifty-one degrees and forty-fiye Sec ond!».
