Of Petrarchand Boccaccio MacMillad> j Magazine remarks :—There is a saying attributed to the Emperor Charles Vj that according as one knew so many lan guages ho was so many times a man.j Petrarch and Boccaccio spoke and wrote two languages with equal readiness. There wore two men in each. There was Petrarch the Italian poet, graceful, tender and, (in Shakspeare's phrase) "high fantastical;" and Petrarch, the Latin moralist, stern, uncompromising, and ag gresive. There was Boccaccio the Italian novelist, by turns gay and pathetic, licentious and severe, but always inimit ably simple and natural; and BoccacetO, the Latin pedant, laborious without method, indefatigable in research without discrimination. In the living Boccaccio ■• the two characters, so distinct in his >bocks, were blended into one : and doubt less the Latin which he spoke, in discus sion with, his friends, was lighted up with the graces of the " Dccamerone." His relations with Petrarch were uninterrupt edly friendly, always on the recognised footing of disciple and master. The hom age of the disciple was graciously accepted, the condecending patronage of the master never gave offence. The two have sup plied no chapter to "The quarrels of authors." It is true that theynever lived in the same place. Distance is a great preserver of peace.

The Pall Mall. Gazette gives some striking feats in walking, and says: — Not only have the old four-horse coaches reappeared on the roads in the neighbor hood of London, not only has an attempt been made to swim across the channel, but a Scotch minister has just set the example of walking from Edinburgh to London. On Monday forenoon, says the Xondon Correspondent of the Dundee .Advertiser, the Rev. Mr. Jamison, of St. Matthew's, G-lascnw, arrived at Char ing Cross in excellent condition, " after footing every inch of the space that lies between the metropolis of England, and the Register Office, Edinburgh." The time spent on the road was eighteen days and a forenoon ; and Mr Jamieson never ■started until after breakfast, nor walked in the heat of the day. His route was the old coach road between the two capitals, passing through Carlisle, Gretna Bridge, Doncaster. Newark, Huntingdon, etc., and his luggage was a knapsack weighing twenty-six pounds which he carried on his shoulders. Mr. Jamieson deserves credit for starting this new idea of a holi day expidition, and perhaps the old road to Scotland will before long be thronged with pedestrians walking, not like Mr. Jamieson, with a stately step and slow, but hurrying between the capitals as fast as their legs can carry them. Phillipides, who was sent from Athens to Sparta, is stated to have run one hundred and fifty .Roman miles in two days. In October, 1811, Mr.Rivington, a farmer near Dor chester, walked five hundred and sixty miles in seven days ; and a still more remarkable feat was performed by Mr. Glanville, a native of Shropshire, who in 1806 walked one hundred and twenty-two miles on the Bath road in twenty nine hours and three-quarters.

A happy New Year to you all. Herbert H. Smith in wishing his friends a happy New Year, would thank them for their kind patronage during the two and a-half years since he has been in business, and hopes by industry and perserverance, and the same motto (of giving good work at a fair price) .he will continue to have the same amount of patronage for the future. He would also thank the Editor of the Star for his kind ness in drawing attention to his portable ovens and wrought-iron ranges at different times. H. H. S, having sold a large number of his improved portable prize ovens during the last few weeks, will continue for one month longer to allow 10 per cent, discount on them, so as to allow persons who have not been able to purchase one of his portable ovens (which are universally admired by over f)00 persons for their economy in fuel, and their portability, as they can be placed any where, and require no setting) to do so. These ovens are especially adapted for the bush and country settlers, as they require no bricks for setting. H.H.S. would also draw attention to his prize wrought-iron ranges ; also, his improved portable cottage ranges, which are admired for their economy in fuel and their durability, as they will not crack, and are 50 per cent, less than the imported ; prices, from £6 10s. and upwards. H.H.S. has on hand and makes to order all kinds of ovens, ranges, stoves, grates, stove pipes, wrought-ironnreplaces, patent portable boilers, and all kinds of ironwork done ; ships' stoves, Leamington ranges, and ali kinds of stoves made and repaired. Second hand stoves bought, and for sale. Open every Saturday night from half-past seven till nine o'clock. Look out for the gas oven over the sign-board ; also, a few portraits of the Prince and Princess of Wales.—[Advt.]

Owing to the weather the smoke in Shef field, England, settled down so over the city in the day time, recently, that the gas had to be lighted.

Charles Darwin, author of "The Descent of Man," is named by the students of Aber deen University as their Lord Rector.
