That is bad, saith Aristotle, which either from defect or excess, prevents us from contemplating God; and it is an universal proverb that the liar, who possesseth the courage to mock Heaven in the face, will turn his back, when he contendeth with men.---Anon.

THOMAS PLANTAGENET, surnamed De Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk, is invested with the office of Earl Marshal of England, 1335. This title was conferred afterwards, in 1383, upon Thomas, Lord Mowbray; and 28th June, 1483, it was granted to Lord John Howard, on his receiving the Dukedom of Norfolk, in which noble house it is now hereditary.

The battle of Roveray, or of Herrings, 1429, in which that renowned rogue, Sir John Falstaff, with his little convoy of fifteen hundred archers, entrenched by four hundred waggons of Yarmouth herrings, repulses a body of five thousand French cavalry, and kills six hundred Scotch infantry; but whether these were salted and eaten by his tall fellows, is a problem, and the despatch which our poet had surely seen is not extant.

The dignity of Viscount is created in England by letters patent in favour of John Baron Beauchamp, 1440. The second Viscounty was conferred, 14th December, 1446, upon Henry Lord Bourchier.

This day is memorable for the murder, on the scaffold, of Lady Jane Grey: "Good Christian people, you come to see me die; not for any thing I have offended, for I will deliver to my God a soul as pure from trespass, as innocence from injustice."

The immortal Milton is admitted a Pensioner of Christ's College, Cambridge, 1625. The entry is as follows: "Johannes Milton, Londinensis, filius Johannis, institutus fuit in literarum elementis sub Mro. Gill, Gymnasii Paulini præfecto. Admissus est Pensionarius minor, Feb. 12, 1624, sub Mro. Chappell, solvitque pro ingressu 10s." His tutor Mr. William, afterwards Bishop, Chappell, is the reputed author of the "Whole Duty of Man ;" and Dr. Gill, Master of St. Paul's School, and a composer as it appears of ballads, was the father of Dr. Alexander Gill, Ben Jonson's scurrilous opponent, but whom the poet did not live to see degraded from the Mastership, in 1640, for his "cruelties and his crimes." General St. Martin achieves the independence of Chili, 1817.

The Hilary and Candlemas Terms of law in the English and Scotch courts, conclude with the present day.

It is a reverend thing to see an ancient castle, or building, not in decay; how much more to behold an ancient noble family, which hath stood against the waves and weathers of time.

Bacon.

The grand debate,

The popular harangue, the tart reply,

The logic, and the wisdom, and the wit,

And the loud laugh-I long to know them all.-Winter Evening.

Herman Witsius, 1626, Enck- Lord G. Dudley, beheaded, 1555.

Youth prefer beautiful to profitable conduct; for they live more from moral precepts, than from reasoning; but reasoning is directed to that which is profitable, and virtue to that which is beautiful.
