In the year 1857, Delhi, thotiek shorn
of its ancient splcmlor, was still a pla*o
to t-alk and dicam-of.
Tho hazaaA were filled with rfirn and
costly merchandise, and streets of tho
capital contained nothing but jewel
ry. which was largely exported to
Europe and America.
But in a Single night all thi$ waa
changed, and instead of the bum of
toiling thousands there came tho brazen
notes of the war-trumpot. tho boom of
cannon, tho rattle of musketry, and the
steely flash of nuked sabrcJ.
British valor was ouco more called
upon to defend the honor of Old Eng

“A fortnight ago we wore dancing at

Tho plan upon which this ingenious
writer has constructed tho‘ strange

girl, for hmtonco, is described as being
pretty, and if there is one thing that
every observant traveler in England
knows, it is that English girls, as a
rule, are exceedingly plain; that their
hands and feet are those of "the
daughters of the plow;” nnd their fin
gers. so far from being • "slight and
trim as a wand of If Blow,’’ are as ut
terly devoid 6f any poetic or graceful
trimnoss as it is possible to ImsglBe.

It was n race for love, and promised
to be a long one, for the rebel’s horse
was a powerful animal, and kept up a
good pace, in ‘epito uf its dfubiu bur

Once out upon the open plain the
chaso became exciting, for tho sowar,
seeing himself pursued, putlikih every

ever, there may be good-natured crit

slon. Thev would have small bit#
shaped nails, and their handwriting
would bo somewhat angular, showing
penetration and'Hnesso.
The uails of a musician are, of course,
to be observed, although the piano
sometimes injures them. The groat
musicians have a sloping hand-writing.

Beethoven. Tbe tlnger-nails ol spat]}-

paper, tiio un-slrokes and the down-

are small and angular. Diplomacy
has a long, snpple hand, and a long,
beautifully-kept, slender finger-natl.
But tho handwriting of a diplomatist Is
not apt to bo clear; it always looks like
a snake gliding away. Tnere are fie
clear, gigantic capitals like John Han

all is compressed and Impenetrable.
Certain inflexible natures express
themselves both by finger-nails aud by
the handwriting—Doth arc blunt and

long finger-nails that one might almost!
write with tho ends of them. The ten
acity of tho Chinese nail, which d
not break, shows that they have mo;
