A TERRIBLE BEDFELLOW. 1 looked at my neighbor with considerable curiosity. Hb face indicated a man of not , over thirty years—a pirfod at which men are still voung, but his hair war as white as fresh fallen snow. Owe seldom, sees even j on the beads of the oldest men. hair of such ! imtnaccuiate whiteness. He sat by my side in a car of the Great Western Railroad, in I Canada, and was looking oat at the window. Suddenly turning his head he caught me in I the act of stanngf bias -a r*dee of which ' I wa ashamed. I was about to say some words of apology, when he quietly remark i e^: . i • "Don't mention it, sir lin used to it.' The frankness of this observation pleased me. and in a very little while we were con versing on terms of familiar acquaintance ship. and before long he had told me the whole stOT. .... ~ "I was a soldier in the army of India, said he, "and as is often the case with sol diers I was a little too fond of good liquor. One dar I got drunk and was shut up in the black hole forth 1 laid down upon the floor of the dungeon and was just dropping off to sleep, when I felt a cold, slimy shape crawling across my right hand, as it lay stretched out above my head on the floor. I knew at once what it was —a snake! Of course my first impulse was to draw away my hand, tut knowing if I did so the poi sonous reptile would probably strike its fangs into me, I lay still with toy heart beat ing in my breast like a trip hammer. Of course my fright sobered mc instantly. I realized all my peril in its fullest extent. O. how I lamented the hour that I had touch ed liquor! In every glass of liquor they -ay tnere is a serpent: hut it does not come to everybody Jin the shape it came to me. With a slow undulating motion the reptile dragged its carcass across ray face, inch by inch, and crept down over my breast, and tbru-t its head inside my jacket. As I felt the hideous scraping of the slimy body over my cheeks it was only by the most tremen dous effort that I succeeded in restraining myself from yelling loudly with mingled terro-and di-gust. At last licit the tail wriggling down towards my ehin, but ima gine what I felt at heart, if you ore imagine it. as I realized that the dreadful creature had coiled ireelf up under my jacket as I lay and had seemingly gone to sleep, for it was still a- death Evidently it had no idea that I was a human creature; if it had it would not have acted in this manner. All snakes arc c wardly, and they will not are proach a man unles.- to strike bim in self defence. Three b >urs 1 lay with that dread ful weight in my bosom, and each minute was bke an hour to me —like a year! I seemed to have lived a life-time in that brief space. Every incident of my life past ed aero** my IUUKI >n rapid mcecSfioß. as they say is the case with drowning men. I {bought of cy mother, away in old Eng land: my Lappy home by the borders of the Avon: my Mary, the girl I loved- and never expected t<> ee them more. For no matter bow font' I bore thi- I felt that it would end is death at last. I lay as rigid as a • cor] -■•. scarcely daring even to breathe, and all the time mv tress; was growing colder ami colder where the snake lay against it with nothing but * thin cotton shirt between nr skin and it- Ikmw if I stirred it would strike: but I felt I could not v ear this much longer. Even if I -ucceeded in lying still until the guard came I expeied that his opening trie door and coming in would 1 my death warrant, for no d'-übt the reptile would see that I wa a man. as goon as the light should be let ia at the door At last j I beard fo t-t-eps aj: r tchinr. There was a rattling in the lock. It was the guard. He opened the door. The snake— a cobra ; dtoif'llo I now -aw—darted up its huge head, with the hide as rings • round its j eyes as if about to strike. I ;hu, my eyes, and murmured a -hort prayer. 'Then it j ; i ixa; with a swift motfe-a. and disap : .; iin the- darkaes-s. I -taggered to my feet, and foil swooning into the arms of the guard For weeks after I was very sick: aad when I was a foe to be about. 1 found that my hair was white as yc.u see it.

QUEER VICTORIA AND HER RAYS. | A late London letter says that the queen i will not drive through the royal gateway of j the Palace, tew has she since her hu.sland died. She wii: not rule through the .ina! I entrance to the House of Lords, but goes ia through the Peer- entraoee. She trill not wear the royal robes, and when she opens Parliament in [ r.on, the robes are thrown over the back of the throne, which is a gilded chair surmounted with a gift crown, and sits on them She oornes to London when duty calls, seldom passes a night in her capi-! ta!. and has passed less than a dozen in four years. She remains in quiet at Windsor or ! Osborne. She has no company but what j her official i>o-tiion impose* on her The state apartments at Windsor are a!! disman tled, and are unused—the massive plate ia not used, a [laiu silver service is put on the table —a small, quiet popy ami low wheeled carriage the. queen uses for her private rides at Windsor, and -Le seidom. unless duty calls her to London, goes l*yond the private park of the Castle. The hundred horses that fill the Windsor mews are seldom used, and the eight creames fer state occasions are not driven twice a year. The room in which the prince consort breathed his last is kept with scrupulous care: just as the prince left it. ladies say that each night the dressing gown and slippers ere put in their accustomed place. The queen's confidential attendant is a Highlander by the name of Brown. He takes ail the orders from the queen—and bare-legged messengers come from the "queen's apartments ' at Windsor wht-n Her Majesty is to be served. This Brown has been the occasion of a world of talk. He is about fifty —tali and spare— with great assurance, aDd attend- the queenjio and from London. Great attempts hare been made to dislodge him. bat all in . Git. Ttit queen has a will of her own Brown was the prince consort's Highland .-e rant, anu was held by him in all honor.

He studied law. and was ad mitted to the bar in IXI4. He afterwards traveled extensively in Europe. In Is2B he j wa appointed nne,.f the royal council, and Jin 1 v; 4 Sheriff of Lanark-hire. one of the : highest and most responsible judicial offices ! in Scotland. He had already established a high repara tion there by hi* two work;. "The Princi ples of the Criminal Law of Scotland," and '"The Practice of the Criminal.

His •'History of Europe from tbo Commencement of the French Revolu tion to the Restoration ol the Bourbons, ' in twenty volumes, Svo. the first of which ap peared m 1 "<33, t -tablifbed his reputation. Tbe work ran through numerous editions, not withstanding its extent and numerous reprint; in Paris, Brussels, and America, and was translated not only into FreDeh and German, but also into Hindostand and Arabic. Mr. Alison wa- a high tory, strongly op ; posed to ad inuvations. and looked upon the i reform bill of 1 x;>u a- the cocnmencetaent of tbe ruin of England. In this spirit he for ; many years contributed articles toßiackwood; Magazine on most of the important events of the day. A selection of there ha.- been published under the title of 1 "Essays.'

IK. SPI'KfiEOM. ID a notice of Mr. Spurgeon, in connection with the Seven Dials ballad poetry, the Lon don Quarterly Rftiac says: ''Mr. Spur- Kcon fcr the I act few year" has probabiy preached more sermons, in better English, in spite of their slang, with a mightier voice, to a greater nnmber of thousands, in a larger rotunda than any other young man of the age. All ages, ranks, and classes, have | been found among his audience, from the lays fthe front rows and halfguinea reser ved seats at the Surrey Music Hall, to the present free seats at the Tabernacle: critics embryo orators, profound admirers and un : -.roily scoffers, ladies of fashion, unbelievers, and Christians of every known shade, have all 'sat under' bim. So great is his elo quence that, in the words of our poet— •He can please the Duke, the lord, the squire. And ladies with gold lockets, He can make the very sovereigns jump Oat of old women's pockets.' So mighty is the thunder of his eloquence that— •lf Spurgeon went into St. Paul's, I'm sure he'd not dissemble, His voice would make the dome to rite- And St. Paul's church for to tremble.' So winning are his persuasive powers as to make guineas fly from the closest of 'but toned pockets;' to rouse his hearers to the heights of kingdom come,' or sink them to the depths of troubled anxiety about their 'poor souls,' or, as our poet again expres ses it. "An't ho the one to harass?' In the great days of his Exeter Hall performances, when the Tabernacle was yet unbuilt, Mr. Spurgeon Is said —though the story is prob ably mvthiea!—to have delighted and amaz ed his great band of admiring disciples by sliding down the balusters of the rostrum from which he preached, frcm the top to the bottom, to illustrate the fatal ease with which man slide? into the pit of destnietion while sliding up again was to symbolize the difficulty of winning his way back to the | path of virtue. Action, gesticulation, and frantic ejacutation of the freest kind, were among the favorite weapon; of these orato j rical displays, and it is probably to some : well known and favorite resort of this kind i that the bard alludes when he says— i *He can look above and look below, He can deeply sigh and groan, ah! : He can shake the rocks and swallow the whaie. He's a greater man than Jonab.' No wonder, therefore, that— •This wonderful man surprises the laud Parson, lawyer, snob and surgeon, From every place they run a race To the wonderful man called Spnrgeoo." NEWSPAPERS. The /irttt is an educational force of won krful potency. The humble and unpre tending newspaper tLat coine; every week into a dwelling contributes imperceptibly I but certainly to the intellect uai growth of all the people therein. Indeed, it is not difficult, in the obscurer walk; of life, to de i teet what kind ot newspapers a man read by the opinions he draws and the methods by which he states and defends them. ; K .me men who pass lor more than ordinarily * intelligent and thoughtful know very Bttle axceot what they have learned from the ! newspapers. Nay, let any one sit down and deliberately pass in review his stock of knowledge, accurately discriminate what he is indebted to the newspaper for. and what : he has acquired through other sources, and he will be surprised to hod how large are his obligations to the public journals. An I uncommonly shrewd observer of men and one personally acquainted with most of the eminent men of his day. remarked that some of the most conspicuous among them radi ant with genius, and all other qualities rc ; qui rite to constitute great leaders, were mainly newspaper men that is, they relied through long and brilliant careers chiefly ir-on newspaper; for facts suggestive of j ideas, and largely for the discus-ion whereby ! the real and apparent were separated from ! each other. It may be said moreover, that new-pa pers manufacture more great men than arc j made by any other process. It is a matter i of notoriety that very few public men, upon ; deliberate hearing and actual review, bear ■ any fair proportion to the reputation they enjoy. slany men for whom nature ha; done better, and art less, have a color-sal fame which will not bear to be examine! too cl-ely. In these case; the difference between t&e real and the imaginary is the ! product of newspaper laudation.

GaxtfU TRUTH AT HOME. Of aO happy households, that is the hap piest where falsehood is never thought of. AD peace is broken up when once it ap pears that there is a itar in the bouse. 411 comfort is gone when suspicion has en tered—when there must be a reserve in talk, | and reservation in behalf. Anxious parents who are aware of the pain; of suspicion, will place genera! confidence in their chil dren. and receive what they say freely, un less there is a strong rea-on to distrust the truth of any one. Should such an occasion unhappily arise, they must keep the suspi cion from spreading as long as possible, and avoid disgracing their poor child while there ! is a chance of its cure by their confidential assistance He should have their pity and •heir a-idnous help, as if he were suffering from some disgusting bodily disorder.
