In regard., o the Manx language,
according to he opinion of a learned
philologist, " the Irish is the parent
tongue : the ottish Gaelic is Irish
gripped of a ew inflections'; and the
Manx language is merely qaeliz, with
a few tpeculiat words, and, disguised
by a corrupt system of orthography."
It is said that ht the beginning of the
I
present cen , the Mann tongue
was generally understood throughout
the Isle, and as used in the Church

As regards the religion, anciera
and Modern, f the Isle of Man, it is
maintained b some writers that the
Druids once eld sway throughout
the country :while from the number
of Mountains', etc., that bear the
name of different animals, it is
thought that t an. early period the
worship of be sts prevailed there.
According t tradition, (which says
1 .
so much orh'in, while ' history says
so little), St., atriek was providen
tially cast as ore upon the Island
near Peel, which still bears his name ',-
and by' his p werful eloquence and,
astonishing , Miracles succeeded in es
tablishing°the Christian' religion in
the country. It is even stated by an
i n
early writer t - "he slew all of that
ysle which fo k not their sorcery,
and christen the rest." A succes

The Rev. John Wesley visited the
country in 1777, and preached to im

at this time the 'Wesleyan. and Pro

In 1093, the Irish - under Gndrod
Crovan, were routed froui the Island
by Magnus Barfoed, (or the Great
Barefoot) • a Norwegian chnqueror ;
who, notwitLstanding his hatne, is
deserving of creditable notice,' as
having settled flourishing colonies in
the country, (at the time nearly de
popnlated.by civil war), commanding
the people to build houses, and
tak
ing care that they should be provid
ed with necessaries of every lcihd.
An earlier Norwegian . king (Eric,
Oirigh, or Orrey) is however - held in
more general remembran,ce: and in
the' current caricatures of the Island
is introduced as the emblem of gov
ernmental' fogeyistn. He took pos
session of :the country in ,
the 10th
century. Being asked by the natives
whence ho came, he; pointed to the,
Milky Way, saying, " That is the
road to my country " ::and to this
day the Great Galaxy is termed by
tho Manx people, King Orry's Rbad.T
Ho divided the 'country into districts
or sheadings, and with - him originat
ed the branch of its govehiment
known as the " House of Keys."
To Alekander 111., King of Scbt
land, who drove out the Norsemen in
1270, the Islanil.tiwes, it is said, its
remarkable coat of arms. This, (in
the no less remarkable, language of
heraldry), consists - of " Gules, 3 arm
ed legs argent, conjoined in the fess
point, flexed in triangle, garnished
and spurred; or, with tho.appropriate
motto, Quocu gue jeceris, stalni."
More plainly, 3 armed legs, bent at
the knees, and conjoined at the thigh:
the motto, " Whichever way you
thrOW , it, it will stand." -Notwith
standing such 'an etnblem as this,
some writer, a century or' two Sthee;
absurd enough to' say' that
" Mona - haitno - fiL leg to stend'uPen."
It is seen everywhere through thels
land and on its vessels abroad: simi
lar to it is said to be the elassiaal
symbol of Sicily.
In 1290, EdWard L of • Englind,
took' possession of the Island: /twen
ty-three years after, it was fi eld. by
_Robert Brice, King of Seethuid ;
and twenty-four years after that, Sir
William Mbntag,uo again drove oht
the Scots, and was crowned King/ of
Man. 'Subsequently, its scivereimity
was for a long time held by the SPtan
leys, Earls:OfDerby, in fee 6 1 the
British King, on the payment of two
falcon s at his coronation. James, the
seventh Earl, wasAaken prisoner by
the Parliamentary forces and execut
ed in 1651. • -
,One of the Esxls had found means
to compel the,freeholders of the Is
land to surrender theiri-titWiu
change for leases of 21 yearS, and a
petition to the widowed Countess of
Derby Ih-the people, fora moditieu
tion oithe'oppressive land tenures,
was headed by William Christian—
who, for his' activity_ in tho matter,
was tried and executed by the Maiix
court in 1663, on the false charge of
inciting an insurrection. A success,
ful appeal Was made by his heirs 'to
the British Government "for redress,
and-committal for trial of the k two
Deemsters; his judges. The radiator!
of Wn.r.ttai Cunisms, as, a martyt' to
his championship' of-. 'the .people's
rights,' is to this. day held sacred
throughout the Island.s In 1703,
the Act 'of . Settlement, • (Which has'
been styled' the Magna Charta of
Man,) was obtained, chiefly ibion b -tif
the influence of Bishop Wilson. It
terminated the disputes /goncerning
land titles, and the people obtained
a full recognition of their ancient
rights.
• Although ; the title of King_of Man
had been fr some time in disnge
yet'the Derby family, and the Athole;
their, successors, continued to eier;

The distinct jurisdiction of t1.,x3
Is
land, which made it to sonic extent
an asylum for debtors, outlaws and
smugglers, was finally found to be
inconvenient for the purposes of jus
tice.
In 1765, John, Duke of Atholo,
and his Duchess, reluctantly aceept
ed the offer made by Government,
(being the sum of ,i 70,000, besides
an annuity of 12,000), for their
rights in the-Isle: and on the llth of
July, 1765, John Wood, Esq., the

TWENTY YEARS OF VICE.
Many years ago, a celebrated Ital
ian artist was walking along the
streets OI his native city, pe,rplexed
and desponding . in consequetice of
some irritating circumstance or mis
fortune, when he beheld a little boy
of such surprising beauty that he for
gbt his own,- trouble and gloom in
coking upon the Angelic face before

) T.Nat face I ranst•hare," said. the ..
atiSt,.. "for my . studio. • Will you_
come' - -In and sit for n picture;.
The,
Flee the
was glad to go and
aria pFncils and en-
the artist's room, and
130!18
he was . jro pleased when he.
saw what seemed to be another boy,
looking just like himself, smiling from
the artist's canvass. 0
The artist took a....great' deal of
pleashge in looking 'at the sk - viet, in
dcent face. When he was .t,tlJubled,
irritated, or perplexed,).4' lifted
his eyes to that 15vely_.iie on the
wall, and its -h )eful feat
ures, and expression calmed his heart,
and made him happy again\ Many
a visitor to his studio wished to,pur
chase that lovel' face; hut though
poor, and often in- want of Money, to
buy food and clothes, he...would not
sell his good angel, as he, called his
portrait • ---- •
So years went on.- Oftentimes, as
ho looked tip to the face on the &w
-ing canvass, he wondered what - had
become of the boy.
"HoW I should like to see how.le
looks 'zloty! • I wonder if I shotild.
know him! Is he a good roan and
true; or wicked And . abandoned ? Or
has he died and Bone to a better
world ?" . ••
Ono day the artist was strollin,g,
down one of the finee-walks of the
whon he beheld n , yonng man -whose
face and' mein were so vicious, so de
praved, so almost fiend-like, that he
involuntarily stopped and gazed at
him.
" What a 'spectacle! I should like
to paint that figure and hang. it in
my studio opposite the angel-boy,"
said the artist to himself.
The young man asked the painter
for money; for he was a beggar as
well ac a thief. •
• "Come to my 'room and let me
paint tour portrait, and I will give'
you all you ask," said the artist. '
The young man followed the paint.
er,.and fiat for- a sketch. When it
was finished-and he, bad received as
few coins for his trouble, he turned
. to go, wbeb. his eyes rested upon the
picture of the bof; lie looked at it;
turued pale,l*il then burst into
tears.
"What troubles . ' 'you, my man?"
asked the painter; - •
It was long hefore the young man
'could speak. HOsobbed aloud, and
seemed inerced'with agony. At first
be, pointed to the picture (Mho wall,
and in broken tones, which seemed
to come from's broken heart, Said:
• ",Twenty years ago. you asked me
to Comemp here and sit for a picture,
and that angel face is the portrait.
'Behold me now, a ruined man,. so
bloated; so 'hideous that . women and
.children turn away their jaces _from
me;" so fiend-like that you wanted my
picture to show how ugly, lornian
could look. ill! Lesee now -what
vice and crime have done for me..
/ The artist Was amazed. - He conic'
scarcely believe, his own eyes and
ears. -
"Ilow did this happen?" he asked.,
The young man.then told him' his
sad and mournful story; how being
an only son and very beautiful, his
parents petted and spoiled him; how
- he-went with bad boys and learned
all their bad habits and vices, and
,came to love them; how having plen
ty of meney, he was led into wicked
•
places until all was lost;. -rind then,
unable to i'Vork and what:Ad to ben.,
he began to steal, was cauglit- and
imprisoned with the worst-, criLinals,
and came out still, more depraved, .to
commit worse crimes than before;
.how every bad deed he performed ,
-emed to' drive him to commit a
worse one, until it seethed that he
could not stop until, brought tq the
gallows.
It was a fearful tale, and brought;
tears into the artist's, eyes. He be
sought the young man to stop, offer
ed to help him; and tried' his best to
save him. Bat, alas! it wasUct late.,
Disease, contracted by dissipation,
goon prostrated the young man, and
hoqied before he could reform. The
painter hung bid portrait directly op
posite that of the beautiful_ boy;'and
