The title furnished a true index to the text, and Percy did indeed hint in his pref ace apd notes that he had used his manu script merely its a foundation for his Super structure; yet he also allowed it to be in ferred that the published work was to a great degree a transcript of the original, and took little care to point out with precision either his alterations or additions. This in cautious claim provoked criticism, and his manifest inaccuracies were detected by the ,students of olds English, who justly con denmedthe book as an Untrustworthy guide in an ainiUst-uknown department of litera ture. Despite this I hostility; ..ae___publication slowly won its way to popularity,--the-med ley of the new and old perhaps presentin as much of the genuine " Reliques" as the public was prepared to accept, and the work was received into favor': side by side with the other questionably Veracious antiquity —Macpherson's Ossian, The judgment of the general public was undoubtedly mirrored in Percy's own apol ogetic dedication to the Countess. of Nor thumberland, in which ,he fears even to hope that the barbarous productions of un polished ages " can obtain the approbation or notice other maw adorns courts by her ,presence end diffuses'elegancehy her exam ple. But this impropriety, it is preimmed, will disappear when it is declared that these poems are presented to your Ladyship, not as labors of art, but as effusions of nature showing the first efforts of ancient genius." The criticisms of scholeo subsequently led ton doubt of the authenticity of the work,, and in-the fourth edition a nephew of Percy took occasion to re-assert the verita ble existence of the manuscript volume, which has ever since been preserved as a precious heirloom in the family, and occa sionally, as a favor, has been offered to the perusal of a chosen few of the literati. The manuscript was believed by Hum phrey Pitt to have originally belonged to the library of Thomas Blount, an author on legal topics who published about the year 1879. it is a long and narrow folio, much torn by the ruthless hands of Mr. Pitt's housemaid, and even fui titer mutilated by the carelessness of the binder in whose hands it was placed by Percy. It furnishes no hint as to the identity of the compiler; and although the handwriting has been as cribed to an earlier period, it may be confi dently dated to the reign of Charles IL by the fact that it contains the cavalier song of "The Kinge enioyes his rights ageism." The increased interest in early. -literature during late years. has caused numerous ef ' forts to obtain the publication of the origi nal; hut the Percy family -have' constantly refused permission, until the zealous schol aratiip of an American, co-operating with several English colaborere, at length over •came all difficulties, and with great care and considerable expense the text of %the mann sci iv, has beau published under the 'title Of " Bishop Percy 'e Folio Mari useript." Percy's Reliques must neverthelesE atiti hold an important place in literature as a work which gave impulse to modern inves tigation by presenting ,an uncouth and un familiar subject in a pleaeant guise, and by awakening a popultei interest to which we are indebted for ,Childe Harold; while the reading world-will be ever grateful to a book that so stimulated the youthful genius of 1 Scott that with the spir • nus and Ado la renticeship to ecian chiefs; •f genius soon ion and power •' literature of !riding to the d.. his dramas ober and Bot henian streets , •mes; and the lyria, was as bile the Moor lads, and the la melted alopg ed several of lie nation that k chivalry of ':ble of accept ! to induce his he endeavor ', ie the adapta- I leader of that uding Parnell, l's worthy en i'ruitless in his uture; and in warm tribute hn" in his plea verse: ~in, igalzt pt sycrt ; ay taught him to lad , and he was us tale of the !•d on the walls great laughter ;d the Sectutor !lase and the Idly compared ' classic litera :tional thought .-•-• his thought flew from it. taking from it A vibration and impulaion to au end be)oud its own— As the brandh of a green. osier, when a child would overcome It.

'" The king's army had been defeated several times, and those of his ad herents taken with arms in their bands were led before judges appointed by Cromwell in every town, to be condemned as rebels. Sir Nicholas Newcastle was one of those judges. He was a man of austere manner, but without fanaticism;. his devotion to the new Government 'was well known, and Cromwell bad a special esteem for- him.--: His weakly constitution did not allow him to serve in arms for- the cause which he thought tie just one, but he was looked up on as the most active and able, as• well us the moat rigorously just magistrate in his county. , Gine evening bir Nicholas was at supper wick his fa m 417 azut iv few of his lands, volumes had H of old books of Shiffnel, in is new owner, el 'to 'his house , ling fires, and it one morning tenant under a useript caught tied it from its ' • - ' -• o-••• , • •. • • _ • • ....„2„.", The Torn Curtain EN whent i batid of ,Soldihrs arrived w a my.' aliskprisoner-whotalikey hadiaskoceeed• editucapturi a g.

The'soldlers thanked him', and sat. down at table near their prisoner, who did not ap -.pearl° be much affected by his' position, and fell to on the provisions set 'before him' with as good an appetite as any of them.

It .gave way at my grasp, and to my horror I saw that I had made in it' a tear big enough to see the next class through. The two mesterskurned around at the noise, and at Once" perceived the damage that had been done. The blame appeared to lie'.betiveen me and theboynext the curtain on the other side, but my con fusion soon pointed me out as the culprit, and my master angrily ordered me to come and have a dozen blows of the cane. Igot up staggering like a drunken man; I tried to speak to ask pardon, butt- fear glued my tongue to my mouth, my knees trembled under me, a cold perspiration broke out on my face. The instrument of punishment was already raised over me, when I heard , some one pay: " ' Do not punish him. it was my fault!' "It was the boy on the other side of the curtain. He was at once called forward, and received the dozen blows. My first im pulse was to prevent this unjust punish ment by confessing the truth, but I could not summon up courage, and when the drat blow had been given I was ashamed to speak. "When the flogging was over the bky passed near me with bleeding hands; and. whispered to me with a smile that I shall never forget all my life: ." Do not meddle with the curtain again, youngster; tlie cane hurts.' " I sank down in a fit of sobbing, and they had to send me out of thd room. " Since that day I have been disgusted with my cowardice, and have done all can to overcome it. I hope I have not been altogether unsuccessful," . • ' -" And do you know this generous fellow?" asked One of his guests. " - Have you ever seen him again?" " Never, unfortun,ately. He was not in my form, and left the school" soon after wards. Ah! God knows that I have often wished to meet with the gallant fellow who suffered so muclrfer me, and that I would give years of my life to be able to slake hands with him at my table." At that moment a glass was held out to ward Sir Nicholas, who lifted his eyes with astonishment. It was the royalkt prisdner, '‘vito laughingly proposed a toast: "To the memory of .be torn curtain at Westminster! But 'llion My word, Sir Nicholas," he said, " your ,recollection is not so accurate as mine.' It was not twelve blows that I received, but twice twelve, for having exposed another' to punishment and not at once declaring myself to blame." " You are right, now I remember!" ex claimed the judge. " And your worthy master, if I am not mistaken, made you write a Latin essay on Self-accusation."

Never mind, I only ask one thing—God save the king!" With these words the royalist returned to his place among the soldiers, and continued his repast. • • Sir .Nicholas sat silent and- thoughtful.—. That very night, after having given orders that the prisoner was to be well treated, he left home without saying where he was go lug, and was absent for three days.

"It is time to do so, were it only for huManity's sake. They treat ine 'so well at your house, Sir Nicho las, that'before, long I shall come tta wish to retain my : life." "My friend," said the judge with a grave face, but in a voice trembling with emotion, "twenty years ago you said to me, • ' - Do not meddle with the curtain, youngster, for the cane hurts!'

A pon-1 derous lobby has been organizedlbrough meetings held in New ;York city Which . is expected to visit' Washington for'the put poe.e of controlling the action of. Congress iu their interest. hi Nu ii,Yestiriatioubefore the last New York Legislature 'it was shown that $9,000 v.;ere spent by these - gentlemen to defeat a reform of their management when last attempted. Why may we not conclude, theri,Ahat similar influences will be considered' conclusive by these interested i parties? . $200,000, of the fund • received ' from the tax of $1 50 per head collected 'from emigrant* ostensibly to 'he used for their benefit, was lost by the Commission through a swindling Tammany Hall Savings. Bank which they selected prior to ,the ex plosion of the'Tammany Ring as a plape of_ deposit for Wei!' surplus funds. A relative of Mr. Tweed was the . purchasing - . agetaf until January 1, 1872, and through false in• voices and bogus bills $40,000 were annu ally Hunk by him, and never returned,' nor any prosecution commenced:therefor. The CommiSsion saved itself frOm aboli tion by the New York Legislature only by the Goyernor pocketing a bill to that effect passed by it last year prior, to its adjourn went. Your correspondent' proposes to watch the progress 'of this little game, and to make a note of the moves, of sharpers Who come here in the, name of huinanity, but really for the purpose of continuing the wasteful distribution of ; $600,000 blood money which'is now annually extorted from poor etnigrants'and used to their_ detriment in innumerable 'swindles. • TLIZ W. 6.11 QUELLED.

C. 'M. The Result of Prohibition. i O 0 the Bth of May, 1872, there came up' for ebate in the Britsh House of Commons the übject of the suppression of the liquor tr cin those parishes o localities where two hirds of the vote a shodld decide a 4 license .. The deb te ran on through the ay, and was not resu ed until July.-- The strong objection urged against themea shie was that in America, and especially' in Maine, prohibition had been found to be of no benefit; that liquor was sold in Maine law States as openly, as freely, and ig quan 'titles as great as in the license States . The " United Kingdom . Alliance for the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic" applied to me to furnish them wits certificates from official sources that would hare authority and weight, to show what the facts really were / In answer to their application I have for iv arded to them 1.
