OSBORNE CASTLE.

I came here to see the private residence and private life of the Queen

Great Britain. Everv old buildin this conservative country has

pedigree, and this is sometimes aslong and unvoluted as that of theO'Flahertys of Gal way. Osborne,s'e are told, was once called Oyster-bourne, from the ovster-bed- s pf theMedina. Then came the melancholystory of Eustace Mann, who duringthe troublous times of the CivilWar buried bags of gold and silver

a coppice, and not having markedthe spot was now unable to findthem. From Lady Isabella Bhitchford, the Queen purchased the estate in 1840. By the purchase ofBarton and other adjoining demesnes, the manor has come to includethe area of 5,000 acres. The situation of the castle is most desirable.On one side it is sheltered by woodsand plantations, and on the othercommands an extensive, delightful,

animated prospect, includingthe naval stations of Portsmouthand Spithead. Girt by sea and land

comprises nearly every variety oflural scenery of which te poetshave sung. lhe climate is mild andsalubrious. Spring sets at the end ofevery rebruary; and after the Queenhas enjoyed the freshness and beau

of the voung year hi this lovelypot she always betakes herself

north of the Tweed, where, in-h-

retreat at Balmoral, she feels againwarm breath of spring and seesdaises and cowslips blow for the

second lime.THE ARCHITECTURE OF OSBORNE- -

mainly the work of the late PrinceConsort. The palace is the

style, and everything is subordi-nated to the necessities and com-forts of life. The building is quad-rangular. A .,clock tower, 90 feetI,,, i.nign, naiiKs ine sea-iro-nt on onehand, and a flag-towe- r, 107 feethigh, on the other. In advance of the

are the royal apartments,commanding an uninterrupted and

lorious view.. Two extensive terraces in front, adorned with foun-tains, statuary, and choice shrubs,increase the apparent altitude of theimposing facade. Ihese terracesdescend for twenty-seve- n feet to alovely little valley which leads tohe landing place, the bathing-house- .

other adjuncts on theshore. The apartments are of

handsome proportions and arrangedmost commodiously. The interioi,

however, remarkable for its ex- -implicity. The rooms are furnish

in plain mahogany, like thehouse of any ordinary country gentleman. Choice sculpture, valuablepaintings, and rare bronzes andworks of art, however, abound.When early summer has clothed Osborne in all its verdant loveliness,

Queen, though naturally of afidgety, roving disposition has often

known to wish that the dutiescalled her away from her faresidence.

THE VIRGIN QUEEN'S CRADLE.

The majority of the paintings inpalace are by English-nrtist- s.

Larrdseer is everywhere, and Frith's ofwork are all here. In every

room may be noticed a portrait ofor more members of the royal to

family. If the artists do not flattertheir royal masters, the Princes andPnncesess may have some pretentions to beauty. Indeed, the major

of them have fine figures, goodcomplexions, and pleasant faces."There is, however, as a rule, a

want of intellect of a high orderamong them, and notably in AlbertEdward,. who, in- - the course of hu '

events, is to be future King otcngiana. ine greattst curiosityloticeabe is a gift cradle once

the Queen of England. Her dressesare of the plainest black stuff, andnot fashionably made. Her hatmushioon shaped, and in it thereis a seagull's wing. This is herfavorite leather, but it costs hernothing, as the bud has been shotfor her by one ot her sons or by agame-keep- beloging to the estate.In connection with these feathers, astory was recently circulated aboutthe royal household. A well-know- n

Scotchman was sent out to shoot s

gull. His visit to the Medina himanaged to protract considerably.Victoria repeatedly called for him,buthe was not forthcouiino-- . Atlength he appeared, and was ushered into the royal presence, where hereceived a warm rebuke. Nothingdaunted, he replied: "Weel, if oneis to be tied to an hour or twa,might as weel nae gang at a." Hisaudacity triumphed, and he wassimply directed to prepare for themorning drive. The only thing thatinai k tne approacn ot royalty here

tne cantering or an outrider always on a wnue horse before theQueen s carriage. This is usuallyi sociable, holding four, and drawnby two horses. The coachman and, . 1. - 1. mtDrawn are on me oox. j nere is nogentlemen in waiting, unless the carnage is a State one, drawn by fourhorses.

HOW THE DAY IS SPENT.

lhe Queen breakfasts early andheartily. Like her predecesso.Elizabeth, she manifests a decidedpartiality for beefsteaks. The morning repast over, she has letters readto her, and gives instructions to hersecretary, bhevery seldom writesan authograph letter.. - She thendrives or walks out, and pays visitsto her laborers and tenantry.

All the young Princes were taughtsome trade. As brickmakers in theWhippingham brick field they woretheir blouses and worked successful-ly in the manufacture of bricks.Many of these bricks, together witha vast variets of knick-knack- s, thework of the Princes' hands, areshown in the museum of

THE SWISS COTTAGE,

a charming retreat m one ot theloveliest spots on the estate. Eachof the Princesses had a garden adjoining the cottage, which she cul- -

cultivated with her own hands.Many of the flowers in the Princess-es of Wales' wedding boqtiet weresent from the garden of the Princesses Royal, now Crown Princess ofGermany. Here cooking in its va-roi-

branches, was taught, and theQueen's daughters frequently fatdown to a meal prepared by theirown hands. Iu many ways besidetheir mechanical ingenuity has beendeveloped to a large extent, andthey often exercise it freely for thebenefit of others. Among the Princesses, Louise, wife of the Marquisof Lome, has displayed the largestamount of mental capacity. She isa clever painter, and has taken pri-

zes in the South Kensington Muse-um for her modeling. And yet sheis not happy. lhe fact that theQueen looked about assiduously

A HUSBAND FOR HER

among the richest order of the no-

bility is well known. It is also equal-ly notorious that the Marquis ofHarrington, eldest son of the Dukeof Devonshire, and chief Secretaryof Ireland under . the GladstoneGovernment,- was obliged to givethe cold shoulder to those approach-ed him 'on the subject. Others didlikewise. Then the Marquis ofLome, heir to the Dukedom of Ar- -

gyl, loomed up, and. became the husband of the rnucess. 1 he marriagehas not been a happy one, and thereare no children by it. Princess Lou-

ise's first love was the Rev. Mr.Duckworth, tutor of Prince Arthur,who was presented to a handsomeliving in the country by the Queenin a very timely and grateful man-ner. At the present time onlyPrince Leopold who is ill and thePrincess Beatrice are staying at Osborne wiih Her Majesty.

THE QUEEN'S BENEVOLENCE,

though not of a striking character,kind aud gracious. The haste

which she makes to call on the sickand afflicted among her dependentshas always been appreciated bythem. She approaches the bedside

Nor must it be supposed thatit is only verbal comfort she offers.Every case ot genuine distress is relieved by her, if not in princelystyle, at least in an off-han- d manner.To the children of these poor peopleshe is particularly gracious, and sheoften amuses herself by talking tothem, and urging them to be cleanand regular in their attendance atschool. Osborne lias been selectedas the seat of many interesting fami-

ly- events. The Prince of Walesspent his honey-moo- n there, and soalso did Prince Christian. Amongthe regular visitants to this palacenow is the son of the famous butunfortunate ,

nmver. "Lord, send usrain, not-on- of your tearing thundergusts, but a regular drizzle-drozUe.- "

I think perhaps some one had beenoffering n similar prayer, and it wasfieirigaiiswered to the very letter.For una whow wo.' w were un in

vored with God's glorious sunlight,but yesterday one could thankfullyand truthfully say, "A pleasant thingit is to see the sun." The rain-fa- ll

was 1.12 inches, yet how' quickly hasthe face of nature changed! the earthrejoices anew with verdure andfreshness. The crops in NorthernOhio are far better than those inNew York or New England espe-cially the fruits and corn. I neversaw a finer crop of apples than be-

tween Ashtabula and Buffalo, the or-

chards everywhere bending beneaththeir heavy burdens. But they willbe needed here at the East, wherethe crop is a light one and poor iuquality, a seemingly necessary conse-quence in respect to fruits in the olderStates, owing to more and greater va-

rieties of insects enemies pf fruitand fruit culture.

How often as I have passed alongthe many rich valleys, have thosebeautiful words of the Psalmist (Ps.LXV,) been brought to mind: "Thouwaterest the ridges and settlest thefurrows thereof, thevalleys are covered over with corn ;they rejoice yea they sing."

I noticed Buffalo was made, by therecent change and building of a newdepot at East Buffalo, (about threemiles out.) by the 1m b. & M. &. anaN. Y. C, a mere way station, as allthrough passengers do not enter thecity a special train conveying allwishing to stop there.

Having a few hours at Albany, 1

visited the new capitol, an immenseand costly affair, certainly and veryfine architecturally considered, andit ought to be if we take into consid-eration this fact they are only justcommencing the second story, yetare now spending the sixtn miuionlAt this rate twenty-fiv- e millions willbe required to completoit. Althoughmassive and beautiful, yet there, isno delicate or elaborate stone cutting that would necessarily be veryexpensive. The dimensions are asfollows: front on Park street, 300feet; on Washington street, 400feet; four towers each 200 feet high;main tower, 365 feet: four squarecomer towers,' each 175 .feet. Thebasement or foundation contains 14--

rooms or vaults a perfect labyrinthof arched rooms and passages. Thebuilding with its approaches and ter-races will cover a little over threeacres. -

Ascending to the top of the observatory a most beaui iful panoramaof the city suburbs aud surroundingvillages greeted my sight. And thenin the midst of the picture flowed thehistoric Hudson, the- - "Rhine ofAmerica," now spanned by two fiuerailroad bridges, (and a third is contemplated.) ' At Troy they are justcompleting an iron bridge fromWest Tny to Troy. You "may re-member the destruction of one ofthe spans this summer, by a strokeof lightning, which melted off theiron bars or girders, 1 ft. by 5 inches,aud dropped the whole span into theriver on several canal boats. 1 sawa part of the wreck, also the size ofthe bars welted off truly a wonderful freak. -

On visiting the home of my childhood, how many and sad were thechanges that had been wrought du-rin- g

the eight years of absence.Alas! the mutability of all thingsearthly! How many dear old friendshad "gone to that bourne whence notraveller returns." Mere childrenthen, had grown to manhood andwomanhood now, and were takingthe places of those who had alreadypassed through the door from oneroom into another room of theirFather's house for such only isdeath to those, who through Christ,are delivered from thenar of death.

Thence taking the train for Pitts-fiel- d,

I had many evidences of thriftand progress so characteristic of thisutilitarian age, aud especially so inAmerica. Pittsfield is a beautiful,growing city of 12,000. The stately,historic elm on the square has passedaway, either by storm or decay,, andhear where it stood stands the sold-iers' monument granite pedestaland bronze statue. - -

There are four villages, ' rangingfrom 800 to 1,600 population, andnext, Middlefield. the scene of thesecond disaster from the bursting ofa reservoir. Passing just at daylight,yet I saw evidence enough of the ter-

rible effect of the flood as it sweptswiftly and madly down the narrowvalley, causing desolation in itscourse. Not a vestige of the splen-

did granite railroad bridge was left;it was the first obstacle in its pathand received its full force. Threrailroad bridges were wholly destroy-ed.

Westfield contains 7,000 inhabit-ants and is a great manufacturingtown. First in importance is themanufacturing of tobacco and cigars,if one may judge from the numlierof manufactories. Next is the whipmanfacture. This is truly an immensebusiness. Acting upon the motto,"Busines first,' pleasure afterward,I then found I had two hours beforetrain time, I went throng'" the Amer-ca- n

Moths In The Candle.

Every moth learns for itself thatthe candle burns. Every night,wliile the candle lasts, the slaughtergoes on, and leaves its wingless anddead around it. The light is beuti-fu- l

and warm, and attractive; and,unscared by the dead, the foolishcreatures rush into the flames, anddrop, hopelessly singed, their littlelives despoiled.

It has been thought that men rea-

son, and have a moral sense. It hasbeen supposed that they observe,drawconclusions, and learn by experience.Indeed, they have been in the habitof looking down upon the animalworld as a group of inferior beings,and as subjects of commiseration onaccount of their defencelessness, yetthere is a large class of men, repro-duced by every passing generation,that do exactly as the moths do, anddie exactly as the moths die. Theylearn nothing by observation or ex-

perience. They draw no conclu-sions, save those which are fatal tothemselves. Around a certain classof brilliant temptations they gath-er, night after night, and withsinged wings or lifeless bodies, theystrew the ground around them. Noinstructions, no expostulations, noobservation of ruin, no sense of duty,no remonstrances of conscience, haveany effect upon them. If they weremoths in fact t could not be sil-

lier or more obtuse. They are, d,

so far under the dominationof their animal natures that they actlike animals, and sacrifice themselvesin flames that the world's experiencehas shown to be fatal.

; A single passion, which need notbe named, further than to say that,when hallowed by love aud a legiti-mate gift of life to life, it is as pureas any passion of the soul, is one ofthe eaodles around which the humanmoths lie in myriads of disgustingdeaths. If anything has been prov-

ed by the observation and experienceof the world it is that licentiousness,and all illicit gratification :of the pas-

sion involved in it, ar Killing iinsagainst a man's own nature, -- Uiatby it the wings are singed not only,but body and soul are degraded andspoiled." Out of our illicit indul-

gence come weak,ss, a pervertedmoral nature, degrsultjon of charac-ter, gross beastliness, beonmbed sen-

sibilities, a disgusting life pd a dis-

graceful death. Before its fcalefultire the sancity of womanhood fadesaway, the romance of life dies, andthe beautiful world loses all its charm.The lives wrecked npon the .rock ofsensuality are strewo to evry di-

rection. Again and again, with end-

less repetition, young men yield tothe song of the siren that beguilesihem to their death. They learnnothing, they see nothing, theyknow nothing but their wild desire,and on they go to destruction andthe deviL

Every young man who reads thisarticle has two lives before him. Hemay choose either. He may throwhimself away on a few illegitimatedelights, which cover his brow witishame in the presence of his mother,and become an old man before histime, with all the wine drained outof his life; or he may grow up intoa nnre. stro'nf? manhood, held inhealthy relation to all the joys thatpertain to that hign estate, xiebe a lieast in his heart, or he mayhave a wife whom he worships,

he delights in, a self-r- e

spect which enables him to meet nn--ahachorl the notlleSl WOIUitu. uu auundisputed place in good societyHe may have a dirty imagination, orone that nates ana spurns mi jmputi- -

conscious that he carries with himhis own dead bones, and all undean- -

liness. It is a matter entirely olchoice. He knows what one life is,and where it ends. He knows theessential quality and certain destinyof the other. The man who says he

cannot control himself not only her,but places his Maker in blame. Hecan control himself, and, if be does

not, he is both a fool and a beast.

The sense of security and purity andself-respe- that come of continenceentertained foi a single day, is worthmore than the illicit pleasures of a

world for all time. The pure in

heart see God in everything, and seeHim cverwhere, and they are su-

premely blest.Wiue and strong drink form an-

other candle in which millions ofmen have singed themselves, and destroyed both body and soul. Herethe signs' of danger are more appar-ent than in the other form of sensu-ality, because there is less secrecy.The candle bums in open space,where all men can see it. Law sitsbehind, and sanctions its burning.It pays a princely revenue to theGovernment. Women flaunt theirgauzes in it. Clergymen sweep theirrobes through it. Respectabilityuses it to light its banquets. Iumany legions of this country it s

ery year, sixty thousand persons in

this country die of iiiteniperance;and when wo think of the blastedlives that live iu want and misery,of wiv es in despair, of loves bruised

and blotted out, of children disgrac-

ed filled, of crimesof alms-hous-

committed through it influence, of

industry extinguished, and of dis-

ease engendered, and remember thatthis has been going on for thousandsof years, wherever wiue has beenknown; what are we to think of thosewho still press into the fire f Have

they any more sense than the moths?

It is almost enough to shake a man'sfaith in immortality to learn that hebelongs to a race that manifests solittle sense, aud such hopeless reck- -

li'ssness.There is just one way of safety,

and only one, and a youug man whostands at the beginiuug'of his careeran l'htmt1 whfethDT hU Will WttUk IB

it, or in tire-wa- y of danger. Thereis a notion abroad among men thatwine is good, that when properlyused it has help in if,: that m a cer-tain way it is food, or a help in thedigestion of food. We believe thatno greater or more fatal hallucina-tion ever possessed the world, andthat none so great ever posessed itfor so long a time ,

Wine is a ineoicine, and men would 'take no more of it than of any othermedicine if it were not pleasant in itstaste, and agreable in its effects.The men who drink it, drink it be-

cause they like it. The theories as tohealthfulness come afterwards. Theworld cheats itself, and tries to cheatitself in this thing; and the priestswho prate of "using this world as notabusing it," and chemists who claim asort of nutritious property in alcoholwhieh never adds to tissue (!) andthe men who make a iest of water,drinking, all know perfectly well thatwine and strong drink always havedone more harm than good in theworld, and always will until tbe mil.leunium comes, whose feet are alwaystripped from under it by the drunkenthat lie prone in its path. The mil-lennium with a grog shop at everycorner is just as impossible as securi-

ty with a burglar at every window orin every room in the house. Allmen know that drink is a corse, yetyoung men sport around it as if therewere somthing very desirable in it,and sport until they are hopelesslysinged, and then join the great, sadarmy that with undiminished num-bers, presses on to its certain death.

We do not like to become anthese colunms, but if it were

necessary, we would plead with theyoung upon weary knees to touch nothe accursed thing. Total abstinence,now and forever, is the only guaran-ty in existence against a drunkard'slife and death, aud there is no goodthat can possibly come to a man bydrinking.

Keep Carriages from the Sta-bl- k.

There is a common and vexa.-tiow-somplaLut from parties .who

store their carnages m the samebuilding with their horses, or indamp carriage houses of poor var-nish. This will happen even afterthe very best material and varnishhave been used, " for no varnish canstand the action of the steam arisingin a stable where horses are keptWhen a varnished carriage is exposed to an atmosphere of ammonia,arising from manure or decayingvegetable matter, the alkali uniteswith the oil of the varsish. formingan almost imperceptible filament ofsoap, which, when the carriage iswashed, dissolves in tne water auais removed, leaving a fresh surfaceto be again acted on by the ammo-
