The Mother's Memory.
No mother will read this touching poem with
out a moistening of the eye-lids. We find it in a
Scotch paper of recent date :
Put in the drawer—mv heart can bear nee mair;
RoW up the paper my dawty's hair;
I ken, I ken, it but renews my wses,—
I ken, I sudna' touch my lassie's tines;
Bdt when the past comes crowdln' titre my brain
I canna lot her bits o' things alone.
Sin e'er she dee'd I wauken wi' a start, •
An' oh, there's aomothing sair comes ower my
heatt;
Then thochts like lightnin' minds me o' her death,
An' for awhile I scarce can draw my breath.
I dream'd a dream before she took her bed,
An' oh, waes me it's been ower truly read ;
An' When the cock began to craw at night,
I bodit aye that something wasna' richt ;
An' whan the window shook frac head to fit,
' I thocht my very heart lap ell the bit.
Neo mair Fran hint the door I'll see her keek,
Nse mair to mine she'll lay her dimpled cheek.!
An' never mair me roan' the neck she'll tak',
,'lor dook her bonnie headio in my lap !
3Veel she was likit by ilk neebor wean,
l
; An' unco blyth they keepit my hearthstone . ;
The dorty anes she'd pleasure see auldfarran.—
' Wad let them - see the "men that broke the barn,"
Wad mak' duo's dookita wi' her fingers sma',
An' raise a leach that wad delight them a':
Syne let them see, upon the.auld kist head,

Wad cock her head and gm Ruch pawkielooks,—•

But when my'svce drip tea I set noun,

And ryas contenth at my fit she sat.

I scarce can lift the saucer to my head.

FASHION.
What are the laws of fashion, and who
make them ? ' Who regulates their absur
dities and their proprieties ? It WBl3 the
i height of fashion in Charles the Second's
time to dispta3t about four inches of white
shirt bet Ween the waistband and the vest 1
now if I were 'to entea b'a'll-robni with
'nay shirt bulging from the bottom of my
waistcoat, I should be-bowed down stairs.
Why; should fashion .in -1668 be' beauty,
and be impropriety in 1853 1 - Can any
thing be MOM absurd than the chimney
pot bat ? Nothing. Yet, if you svere to
meet 1130 in Regent street with a hunting
elp, a 'shovel hat, a sombrero, or a porring
er like that, which Henry of Lancaster
wore—would you speak to me ? The day
after tomorrow velvet skulls, shovel hats,
Ay-flaps, 'or rabbit-skin porringers may be
the only wear. Why should the bishops
. refuse to ordain Oliver Goldsmith because
ho.wore scarlet breeches? What are wigs,
colors, 'fashionable virtues, fashionable
follies t fashionable vices, bon ton, high
breeding. worth after all ? Willthey save
tho sprightliness of youth, the faiecheeks
and full eyes of childhood, the vigorousness
and strong flexure of the joints of twenty
fivo, from the hollowness and deadly pale
ness, the loathsomeness and horror of a
"three day's burial 7" Will they avail
ns one jot in the day when yen and. I and
all the world, nobles and learned, kings
and priests, the wise and the foolish, tho
rich and the poor, the prevailing tyrant
: and the oppressed' party, shall appear to
Ireethe their symbol. Will Fashion and
1
Madam, Devy and the Red-book keep the
storm from the ship, or a furrow from the
broi, or the plague from a king's house ?
Is the world any better for fashion ? and
could it not move towards its end without
I faahion, do yon think? .
Fashion dies. •It is so far a prince or a
rich man, that while it lives we dress it up
in purple and fine linen and fall down and
worship it, and quarrel with and hate our
brothers and slitters, for a smile froth our
demi-god, for a card for •Fashion'a balls,
or the entree to Fashien's back-stairs. But
I no sooner is the deini-god dead, • than we
utterly desert and forget it. We do not
condescend, as in the case of dead hutnani-•
I ty, to fold its rottenness in gold and crint.
, son velvet ; to build a marble monument
above it, sculptured all over with lies ; to
state in an inscription, that beneath repo
sos the ashes Of suoliand such a most no
ble, high, mighty, •powerful Prince Fash
ion, who was a father to his subjects and
a model to hie compeers, and was, in short,
the very best Fashion that ever was known,
and the first fashionable gentleman in the
world. No, wo allow the corpse of Fash
ion to putrify in the gutter, or to be eaten
up by the vultures,‘and the storks, and
theadjutant birds. There have been kings
treated as cavalierly. When Luxurious
Louise Quiuze lay at the point of death,
the noise of the courtiers deserting their
monarch to pay their respects to the new
king echoed through the long galleries of
Versailles like thuner. When the king
was dead they crammed his miserable body
(he died of the most horrible form of the
small pox) into a box, and jolted him off
in a post/this° by night to St Dennis,
where they flung him into, rather than bur
tied him, the sepulchre of his ancestors.
So do we act by our King Fashion adding
even insult to injury, for after his: death
wo scoff and jeer at him, and are tremen
dously satirical upon tho ridiculous, hide
ous, frightful, preposterous fashion that he
was. It is my opinion that if Messrs.
Ranting and France were to confine them
selves to performiug the funerals of Fash
ion, they would cease to be the fashionable
undertakers they are.
Fashion is greater than king'or kaiser
when ho is alive ; but dead, he's of no
more account than a broken egg-shell.

Lord Holland tells of a man remarkable
for absenco of mind, who; dining once on
a shabby repast with a friend, fancied
himself in his own house, and• began to
apologize fur the wretchedness of the
dinner.

"FEARLESS 'AND FREE."
Macaulay.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe bas a book
soon coming out entitled "Sunny Memo
ries of Foreign Lamb." The following is
an extrazt from it ; and &vita vivid idea
of the great historian and essitytst :
"I had met Macaulay before, but as
you have not, you will of course ask a la
dy's first question, 'How does he look ?'
.fWell, my dear, so far astrelates to the
mere outward husk of the soil, our en
gravers and daguereotypists have done
their work as well as they usually do.
The engravings that jou got in the best
editions of his works may be considered,
suppose, t fair representation of how ho
looks when he sits to have his picture ta.
kon, 'which is generally very different from
the way anybody looks at any other time.
Peopla seem to forget, in taking likenesses,
that thofeatures of the face are nothing
bat an alphabet, and that a dry, dead map
of a person's face gives no more idea how
one looks than the simple presentation of
an alphabet shows what there is in a
poem.
Macaulay 's whole physique gives you
the impression of great strength and Stami
na of constitution. He. has the kind of
frame which we usually imagine as pecu
liarly English ; short, stoat and firmly
knit. There is something hearty in all
his demonstrations. lie speaks in that
full, round, rolling voice, deep from the
chest, which we also conceive of as being
more common in England than America.
As to his conversation, kis just like his
writing; that is- to say, it shows very
strongly the same qualities of mind.
__ 61 wag _ inforomil.thatlid is famous fora
most uncommon memory ;, one of those
men to whom it, seems.thipossible to for
get a - thing Once read ; ond die has read all
sorts of things that can he thought of, in all
languageii. ,A gentleman told me he could
repeat all the Newgate literature, hanging
ballads, last speeches and dying confes
sions; while los knowledge, of Milton is
so tweet°, that if his poems were blotted
.out of existence, they might be restored
,
simply frog, his memory. :This same ac
curate knowledge extendeto the:Latin and
Greek classics, and to Much of the litera
ture of modern Europe. Had nature been
required to make a man to order, for a per
feet historian, nothing better could have
been put together, espeiially since there As
enough of the poetic fire - included in • the
composition, to fuse all - these multiplied
materials together, and color the histori
cal crystalization• with them.
Macaulay i 4 about fifty:, Ho has sever
married.; yet there are unmistakable evi
dences in the breathings and aspects of the
family circle by - whom he was snrraundcd,
that the social part is .not'wanting in his
cOnformation. Seine verycharming young
lady, relatives seemed tai-think quite as
much of their gifted uncle as you might
have done had he been yours. .
.'Macaulay is celebrated ai a controver
sialist ; and, like Coleridge, Carlyle, and
almost every one who enjoys this reputa
tion, he has som3timeS been accused of not
allowing people their fair share iu conver
sation. This might prove an objection,
possibly, to, t osewho wish to talk; but
as I greatly prefer to hear, it would prove
none to me. • I must say, however, that
on this, occasion the matter wasquitoequi
tably managed. There were, I should
think, some twenty or thirty at the .break
fast table, and the conversation formed in
to little eddios - oftwo
. or three around- the
table, now and •then welling out into
bay of general discourse." -
Death of Pizarro. .
Three hundred and thirleen years ago,
Pizarro was murdered in his own house.—
A writer iu Blackwood thus notices the
event
"They that take the sword shall perish
by the 'sword." By the sword he had
risen; by the sword he mss to perish;
not on some well fought battle-field, with
shouts of victory ringing in his oar ; but
in his palace-hall, by the assassin's blade.
In his own fair capitol of Liam, the City
of Kings, the gem' of the Pacific, which
had sprung up under his auspices, with in
credible rapidity, for Pizarro seemed to
impart his vast energy to all about him ~a
score of conspirators, totsembled at the
house of Amalgro's son, plotted his death.
It was on a Sunday in June. 154 t, at the
hour of dinner, that they huratinto his a
partment with cries of "Data' to the ty.
rant." A number of visitors were with
him, but they were imperfectly armed, and
deserted him, escaping by tho windOws,
and his half-brother, Martinez do Akan
torn, two pages, and as tunny cavaliers,
were all who stood forward in defence of
their chief. They Roo fell, overpowered
by numbers and covered with wounds.—
But Pizarro was not -the man to meekly
meet his death. Alone, without armour,
his cloak around one arm, his good sword
in his right hand, with a vigor and intro
pidity surprising at his advanced age, the
old hero kept his cowardly assailants at
bay.
"What, ho !" he cried, "traitors'! have
you come to kill me M my own, house y"
And, as ho spoke, two of his enemies fell
beneath his blows. Rada, the chief of the
. .
consortiums, impatient of the delay, called
out: "Why are we so long abotit it ?
Down with the tyrant !" and taking . one
of his companions in his arms, he thrust
him agaist the Marquis. Pizarro instant
ly grappling with his opponent, ran him
through withlis sword. But at that mo
ment, he received a wound in his throat,
and reeling, he sank to the floor, when the,
sword of pads, and several others, were
plunged into his body. "Jean !" excisin
ed the dying man; and, tracing a cross
with his bloody finger on the floor, he
bentdown.his head to kiss it, whenastroke,
more friendly than the rest, put an end to,
his existence.
From the ranks of the bar 'have sprung
the noblest defenders of innocence,—the
earliest and most steadfast champions of
right, and freedom: From the ranks of
the bar, also, have sprung needy every
candidate for the gallows, since the world
began •
Sea Bathing.
A lady correspondent Odle Home Jour-1
nal gives the following spicy sketch of sea- .
bathing at Newporte : •
"To one accustomed only to sea-bathing!
in smooth water, and in a quiet, retired
spot, the sound of the surf rolling and
breaking, the sight of the promiscuous
crowd upon the beach and in the water, ;
are nearly enough -to make, one change
one's, mind about taking a bath, but the
temptation proving irresistible to try it for
once, you proceed to join the throng.
'The 'modus operandi' is this :—You
are shown into one of fifty pigeon-like
houses, which you find large enough to
turn around in cleverly, and furnished
with a looking-glass, and having most sen
sibly left all superfluities of costume at
your hotel quarters, you proceed to array)
yourself in bathing costume, a la Bloomer,!
then cautiously opening the door, look . for •
a chance to dodge the carriages on the'
biach, start, until a sight of your feet in
snob an assembly scares you back ; but the
only way is to pull your straw hat down
over your face, and run as fast as feet can
carry you until you plunge into the water;
you are then one of a crowd.. Now give!
yourself up to the exhilarating enjoyment
of a bath in the sod, upon a beach afire
white sand, without pebble or shell to .hurt
the Most delioite foot Watch e white;
crested waves as 'chasing each' 'one another J
they come towards you; growing higher 1
and higher, until with gontlooheisanco you
receivo-theitembrace ; but beware' (nnless
supported by a strong anti) lest' you lose
your footing, and for ointment imagining
yourself carried. out• to sea, you startle;
with loud-idirieks the nymphs -and, naiadal
who are sporting in the waves around you,
though kis a flight of poetic fancy to trace!
any resemblance between the habitue of a
woteritig-placo,.(dressed as. It may be in
ydlow llannd, with tresses carefully looped
up under an oiled-silk cap) and a naiad,
and r Wonder so litany youthful beauties
are willing to abide so severo a test. •
"It is all very delightful while in the
water, Vet, oh dear I the coining.ont part
is sorriil 1. -Sat slouched . down—clothes
clinging—water •dripping, and , carriages
filled with people dressed so nicely are
driving on the belch,' while you, poor soul,
thinking of the run to the dressing-house,
find you have forgotten *Welt °anis yours,
all looking alike, and with poly ferty-nine
chanies out of fifty against your going
'tight, make a" rush toward the one you
hope is yourry(having forethought enough
to choose those which, having pails beside
the door, you know are waiting for return
bathers) puah' the door gently open, find,
oh horrors I you are wrong ; trying :moth-
I er mid another in despair, feeling all the
time as if up for exhibition, until at heft to
your great joy, you, find your owu ; when
drawing in your pail of water to wash the
' sand from your feet, you hastily carobs
and emerge with the happy consciousness
that not one of tho twiny gangers around
can trace any: resemblance. between .you
and the . Usti' looking creature suing,

gourmands in private life is incorrect.—
They spend little on eating, and they eat
inferior things, though their cookery is
rather a science than a mere accident of

French is to save ; and any self-sacrifice
that will to this result is cheerfully

drew his Pistols, fired one betore the feet

shot himself through the head. - It was a
very awkward thing to meet the :king hi
the street. Whenever , he was struck by
the appearance of any one. 'he rode up to
