In 1861, he returned to Bombay, and was soon after made Brevet-Colonel and appointed Quartcrinaster-General and then A^'utant-General of the Queen's troops in India. These appointments he owed to Lord Hardinge, at whose side he had fought in the three battles of the Sutlej campaign. In the expedition to l^ersia, he was appointed to the second dmsion, and commanded the troops at Mohammerah; but the glory of the ac tion at this place was due to the naval force. He returned to Bombay at the conclusion of the, peace with Persia, and embarked in the Urin for Calcutta; but he was wrecked in April last, off the coast ot Ceylon. Five days afterwards he ob- Gained a passage in the Fire Queen, and on reaching Calcutta he was sent up to Alhihabad as Brigadier-General, to com- mand the moveable column, with which he has at last, in four decisive actions defeated t^e Mahratta fiend, Nena Sahib Before the action at Futtehpore com- menced, General Havelock thus addressed the 78th Regiment:- "Highlanders, when we were going to Mohammerah. I promised you a field-day. I could not give it you then, as the Persians ran awav • but Highlanders, we will have it to-day and let them see what you are made of' Here they routed the enemy, and took twelve guns. In the action at Cawnpore. on the 16th of July, 1857, the enemy,- 13 000 strong, with six guns, and Nena feahib at their head— were defeated bv u P^^^^^l', y^^^ ^'3^ Europeans, and f°l^ li?.^'^^'- ^^^"^ *^« tattle, h^ said to the 78th,-« Highlanders, I ha^e been m twenty.seven fights, and I never saw a regiment behave better. I will say more • 1 never saw a regiment behave so well " Ihe account of what he saw when tie took possession of Cawnpore cannot be read without the deepest feelings of indigna- tion and horror. General Havelock's force had. in eight days, marched 126 miles, tought four battles with Nena Sahib's army against overwhelming odds in point ot numbers, and taken twenty-four guns, all in the month of July in India ' The progress of the General to Bhitoor (which was found burned to the ground) led to the conclusion that Nena Sahib h^A been so conipletely deserted and defeated that he had committed suicide J but tW» has not been confirmed.

When he em! barked for Burmah in 1824. in company with his regiment, his Majesty's 13th *oot, he was in the habit of assemblimr as many as could be prevailed on to attend for devotional exercises, and he occasion- ally expkmed the Scriptures to them m a brief address. They were allowed to assemble at the great Shoey Dagoon pa. goda, the glory of Rangoon, and therein a chamber fiUed with the cross-leeged images of Buddha, might be seen little Native lamps placed in the lap of the images, and one hundred and more of the soldiers of the 13th around Lieutenant Havelock. singing the praises of the livinir and true God. Independently of the r^ hgious benefit of these services, it was a most desirable object to keep these men trom licentious indulgences in a conquered town by the strength of Christian prin- ciple. They used to be called ' Havelock's bamts; and the General-in-Chief, Sir Archibald Campbell, on one occasion of a sudd^ alarm at Prome, at night, finding It difficult to collect speedily a suflScient body of soldiers, ordered the officer to caU out 'Havelock's Saints;' 'I can always/ said he. 'depend on them-. They, at all events, are sober and ready for duty,' When he returned to regimental'dnfy he continued to attend to the religious and moral wants of his Company with conscientious care, and assembled them as opportunity offered, for religious ser- ^ vices. Of course some were displeased with these * non-military proceedings, as they were called, and various communi. cations adverse to him were made to the Commander-in-Chief, Lord William Ben- tmck, and he was described as a strait- weed saint, a Dissenter, and withal a Baptist.

Lot ua go a little faster, but not run, so n« to keep up our •trength." At length thoy had passed the lull ; meantime the soldiers had come nearer and nearer, and unluckily it was M light 08 day, every object was distinctly visible. It was impossible that the two could reach the forest undetected. They heard a loud call. " Now or never i" whisporod Antony, and dragged Marie on with hnn. Foar quickened their steps and they mn as though they had wings. 1 wo shots were llred, but fell short: and in n tew minutes the fugitives were con- coaled by the trees. Yet breathless as they were, they rested not until thev had penetrated fur into the thicket, where pursuit was no longer to be dreaded Long before this fatal night Meyer had huned his money, and most valuable property, so that lie had nothing further to do but to awaken the neighbours, and provide food and drink for tho ter^^ified villagers, whereby to keep up their courage as much as possible. In a short time every one was afoot; but all in terror, alarm, and confusion. Each ran in the other's way; each hurried to save and hide something, whatever he could it was as though each ono thought the soldiers would carry off all the household goods ; beds and bedsteads, chairs, chests, ana tables. Suddenly the rattle and roll of drums was heard, weapons i!a.^ lu', anH the enemy inarched into ':} ., v ,] ve, md word was given for every ..ne lo ,tav quietly m-doors. Presently bi'.«3k Prank entered a (itu in in • honse, "Meyer." he said, "now it 1- tiostion of life and death. Y„ur ftt " my ImtulH. ()iv„ mo y„„r daughter and no harm shall \y»M you."

Then the uproar began : " Money money," was their cry. Meyer gave them what he had, but it was not much Ihey were not in the least satisfied, and broke open every closet and cofler. to search for hidden gold. It was a painful sight, to see how they tore overythinff out; garments and household linen pre- pared as part of Marie's marriage portion • the clothes worn by her mother who had ' long been dead, all were scattered and trampled under foot. Many cherished memorials, *hich for years had been care- tully preserved, were all at once destroyed by the rude handling of the plunderers. It cut old Meyer to the heart; yet he was obliged to bear it in silence, without uttering a word. Tho soldiern flearohed every corner, but found nothin > u li u.ey wanted, f(,r the money had bem In-iefi long before, and lay in the g-u-' ;a nude, the pear-tree. They stormed more furiously than ever would listen to no remonstrance or per- suasion, and acted like madmen. Tliey snatched Meyer's watch from his pocket tore the betrothal ring fVom hfs finger' pushed him about with the stocks of their muskets, and demanded a large sum of money, to be paid down there and then on the spot.

Kepeat from *. THE PRINCESS ROYAL. In the happy life of cnventeen yean of the fair PriuceBS of England, who is jurt now an object of eager interest, adinira- tion and love to the people of two nations — in this hitherto short, hut most brif(ht and heautitul life, there is little that can be related in the way of a memoir, for it is veiled in that domestic privacy in which alone the youthful feminine character can be rightly developed. The Princess Royal was bom in the year of the Queen's marriage, November, 2l8t, 1840, and was welcome<l with enthu- eiasm by the English public who regarded hor as a new heir to the throne. Her christening was celebrated with signal grandeur, in the Throne Room of Buck- ingham Palace, and many eminent per- sons were present who have since passed frotn mortal scenes; foremost of these were the Queen Dowager, the Duke of Wellingttm, Viscount Melbourne, and the Ddkes of Sussex and Cambridge. Her Iloyal Highness was named Victoria Adelaide Maria Louisa, afi.er her august mother and the Queeil Dowager. The Princess was a fair and delicately formed girl, and has grown np as charm- ing in person as she is accomplished in mind; her eyes are blue and of arch ex- pression, and her movements are full of grace, dignity and ease. In 1841, the Prince of Wales was born, and the right of succession passed from the Royal Princess, but her rank as Princess Royal she retains for life. The early years of the Princess exliibits many pleasing and promising features. During one of the cold and stormy nights of January 181-3, the little Prin- cess was awakened by the loud and frequent coughing of some one without, and starting up in alarm inquired of her sleepy attendant what it was. On being informed that it was the sentinel on daty on the terrace (Windsor) beneath the tower, the Princess observed, "Oh, poor fellow, he has got a very bad cough;" and after repeated expressions of sorrow for the " poor soldier out in the cold," again fell asleep. The weather continued for several days unfiwom'able, but one moniing propi lloyal Ilighne take their ust party ha<l reui postern tloor, itartled by tli vhich hikl dis nights before, ittendnnts, rui duty, an old gn "How is your hope it's better. »uro of the Hold hy the attendui Um Royal who quiry.

JBometimes amid the darkened sky, A beauteous rainbow meets the eye, Sparkling amid the drops of rain We hail its glorious hues again. Emblem of brighter days to oomo, When life's sad pilgrimage is done; Those glorious tints which gild the sky, Kcmind us of our home on high. The rainbow, with its colours bright, Will soon be hidden from our sight. It shows us earthly things decay, Wither, and fade, and pass away. DSLIi,. THE PAST AND THE FUTURE. Hath the past for the«i been teemlnir With a bright uucloudod Joy P Hath no vai" and Idle dreaming Mixed with life, its baso alloy P Hath thy days been full of lightness? Hiith thy nights Ik'ou ftrec from nirop Hath no shuituw dimmed earth's briKhtDcn* P Still thou needest to bewunt I Happy hours, tw (pdckly fleeting, Hoon are nutnlterod with the past; Jov and sorrow oft are meeting. Like the sunbeam and the blast. Art thou one whom grief and sadness, Mark for their esiMU-ial prey I Doth no cheering beam of gladness, Jilght thee on thy toilsome way ? Doth no roses with their beauty. Hide the thorns that grow beneath? Hath not the stern path of duty, To adorn it, one bright wreath ? Htill, despair not I dark and tlreary, Though, may be thy present life; 'Tis the hearts that never weary, Who are victors in the strife. Ilalh thy past been full of gladness? Nerve thee for the coming strife I There are bitter drops of sadness Mingled in the eup of life. Sorrow is no idle Action, But a yoke wo all must share ; Yet, remember, in affliction When it seemeth hard to bear. Sooner, when the storm is strongest, Will its fury pass away ; When the night hours seem the longest Brighter dawns the coming day. Hath thy cup of life been freighted With a load of grief and scorn P Hath thy spirit ever mated With the wretched and forlorn P Struggle onward, still keep trying, Happier days are yet in store. Thinlt how quickly time is flying ! Think how soon will life be o'erl And thv spirit worn and weary As the bird, that seeks her nest Through the tempest dark and dreary, Gladly folds her wings to rest I Thou Shalt see the sunbeams waking From the slumbers of the night. And the stormy darkness breaking Into floods of heavenly light ! M. W. Mebbiit. A SIMILE. Pab, far below the dashing wave, The costliest pearls abide ; Deep in the caverns of the earth. The brightest diamonds hide; And so 'tis in the human heart The noblest thoughts lie deep. Like gems that hidden from the Ugbt, Unknown, unvalued sleep. M. W.

There are no bars in the route : one rord crosses another by means of a bridge, bo that cure must be taken that, in follow- ing' the route, the traveller does not stray iVom one road to another, and thus lose the track. For instance, on enterlnp, he will have to pass under CHRISTMAS CJAJVIES; ' THB BBAV PIB. This substitute for a Christmas tree, if not so elegant, yet generally causes more amusement Iho presents intended for distribution, shoulri each be wrapped in paper and placed in a plato basket. This must be Hlled with bran. Each ol the company, with a largo spoon, dive by turns into the bran and whatever they draw up, is their's Often the spoon is found to contam nothing but bran, and the unlucky person loses his turn Blanks, that is, pieces of wood or cork, wrapped' in paper, like the presents may be placed in the pie, and produce great lauehter. a bridge of another road crossingr over his path : in continuing the route he will next pass over a bridge crossing another road; and thus continue his course. A little practice will ac- eustom the traveller to the method of the Maze. It is not a fair test of the merits of the Maze to tommenoe from the centre ; but the traveller will be at full liberty, wh»n he has entered the Castle, to get out again if he can.
