PREFACE. 
 
 AMU,^ >dl the troubled waters of the pre,oat warlike and i«nie-.trick« 
 t,me« where shall „. tod rest for the sole of our foot? and who wiU «,.»* 
 «,.«hve branch of peace and goodwill? Yet, public activity, and jo,, Z 
 ^ef, must have the.r quiet intervals, though it may be few and fi be- 
 tween ; then, perhaps, an old Family Friend may bo welcomed once more, 
 and happy times renewed with old familiar faces. 
 
 And now yiewing our past and present performances, as in a lengthened 
 tapestry r^ll of the antique fashion, on which industrious Angers worked 
 con muously from year to year, we ask our«,lves auxiously-havo we wrought 
 wU «„ portmn of our storied web ?-arc the colours as fresh and tasl- 
 fullyassorted-the patterns as harmonious, truthful, pure and graphic as 
 before ? h oUier words, have we worthily maintdned our fitk tft" 
 honoured position we have so long «;cupied in the homes of England ? We 
 make no pause for a reply,-that has been given to our highest satisfaction 
 m the eoutinued mcrease of our subscribers, and the steadfastness of those 
 who^have been with us from the commencement of our long and successM 
 
 Often, when we have reflected on the vast number of readers of intel- 
 hgence and refinement to whom we have so long been a household ^dl! 
 w have inquired what has been the secret of this rare success f^iZl 
 on^y solution we eoiUd iind was this-thatwe have been in Jr: ^^^ ot 
 wo k-that wo have religiously adhered to the object and principles wia 
 which we commenccd-that we have introduced nothing in '„ r^ , ™ 
 atmg for the sacred precincts of the domestic temple. 
 
 Without boasting, we may say of the volume now respectfully submitted

 for two years, for the restoration of his 
 health. 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. 
 A correspondent of the Timet writes • 
 
 fi,' *t?r ^°'"'" ^^® General for more 
 than thirty years, most intimately, and 
 «in say with confidence that he has neTer 
 baptized anyone; neither, in the strict 
 professional sense of the word can he be 
 wid to have '.preached.' 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. Soon after the Adjutancy of the 
 coi-ps became vacant, and Lieutenant

 It was mdeed an anxious time; people 
 lived as though a thunderstorm darkened 
 the sky, and they could scarcely draw 
 breath for the sultry air. Thunder came 
 at last-war thunder: the enemy broke 
 into the land, and fiir and wide terrible 
 things were spoken of. In one place they 
 had plundered, in another they drove 
 away the cattle, burnt down liouses, 
 ravaged the helds. and ill-treated the 
 inhabitants Our village was for a time 
 imdisturbed, although all lived in fear

 Mario and Antony iceeping close tojro- 
 ther, hMtened on witliout Hpowkinff 
 Ihey were near the hill when the young 
 girl uttered a faint cry and trembled in 
 every limb; she saw bayonets gliiten 
 although aa yet far ofl'. •' It is the so'- 
 diers," .aid Antony, "we mnst get into 
 the forest before tliey reaeh the crow, for 
 we cannot hide here. 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." ' 
 
 •' .She is not here," wbm the answer. 
 
 Not here," he crlofl. "y„„ lie.. «i,o 
 
 must be here. Don't parley too long, old 
 
 man; one way or the other; you bavo 
 
 no time to deliberate. I muJt know It 
 
 once." "'' 
 
 IIo buiHt open the door of Marie's 
 (•lniiiil)er : tho bed was empty. " It ig ,i 
 
 •n ''« 7'«l.«K«in. ••«h«must be here 
 I 11 find her ,f I neareh every corner of 
 the bouse and every house in the villuKe 
 A»d you, Meyer, will have cause to re' 
 member this night," 
 
 Black Frank strode away, but in a few 
 mmutes returned with a party o" sol 
 <l.ers: "That is tho richest nmn i„ the 
 village, he said, pointing to Meyer ; "ho 
 must pay for all tho rest ; don't let hi„. 
 go." 
 
 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.

 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

 pleasure ended here; for tho (^neen, 
 eanng ot the sympathy expressed b^

 How acutely the infantine mind must

 Sparkling amid the drops of rain

 Those glorious tints which gild the sky,

 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 !

 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.

 A CHRISTMAS MAZE. 
 
 ^ INSTBUCTIONS to the TrAVBLLBB THKOrGH 
 
 THB Mazb. — The instructions for this seasonabie 
 flrefiide amusement are as follow :— Tlio Traveller 
 must enter at the opening at the foot, and mu8t 
 pass between the Imett forming tlio road to the 
 Castle in tiie -niddle. 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. 
 
 A KBW GAMS FOB OHUiDBHT. 
 
 The players shoiM stand in a ring, holdinz | 
 hands. In the middle, put a hassock turned i 
 one end. The object of the game is, by pullinj I 
 and pushing your iieighbours as you run round I 
 the mat, to make them overturn it, and to avoid 
 doing it yourself. If any: one upsets it, he is out 
 of the game. The players go on till there is on); | 
 one left ,and this one is the winner of the game.
