PEINCELY COTTAGES.
“ The Prince of Wales began, immediately after his mar-
riage, by building the Alexandra Cottages, a row of twelve
dwellings, built of Carr stone found on the estate, faced by white
stone, and each entered through a pretty porch, with gardens in
front and rear. For these a rent of £4 per year is paid by the
tenant. The cost of the erection of each was £195. The Louise
Cottages, built on the West Newton portion of the estate, are
only inferior to the Alexandra Cottages in outward appearance;
but they are also inferior in rent, and even their outside is
attractive enough. They cost less than the Alexandra Cottages,
the money laid out for the erection of each being only £140. For
these the tenants pay a yearly rental of £3 10s. each. On the
whole, the Sandringham Cottages produce only about one and a
half per cent, on the capital invested.”—The Hour, Hay 12.
‘ ‘ The Cottage-homes of England,
How beautiful they stand! ”
(So once Felicia Hemans sang,)
Throughout the lovely land !
By many a shining river-side
These happy homes are seen,
And clustering round the commons wide,
And ’neath the woodlands green.
The Cottage-homes of England-
Alas, how strong they smell!
There’s fever in the cesspool,
And sewage in the well.
With ruddy cheeks and flaxen curls,
Though their tots shout and play,
The health of those gay boys and girls
Too soon will pass away.
The Cottage-homes of England !
Where each crammed sleeping-place
Foul air distils whose poison kills
Health, modesty and grace.
Who stables horse, or houseth kine,
As these poor peasants lie,
More thickly in their straw than swina
Are herded in a stye ?

The Cottage-homes of England!—
But may they not he made
What Poetess Felicia
In graceful verse portrayed ? _
With chambers where a purer air
The sleepers’ lungs may bless,
And pretty porches, gardens fair P—
The Prince of Wales says, “Yes.”
The Cottage-homes of England,
Whose aspect makes men wince,
May turn to happy dwellings yet,
With landlords like the Prince :
Then quicker brain and readier arm,
And more strength better spent,
May add an economic charm
To less than two per cent.
The Cottage-homes of England !
The toiler gay and blithe,
Who drinks his ale, and plies his flail,
And swings his sweeping scythe,
His sons and daughters, braced anew
With strength that nothing ails,
Will bless each Prince of landlords who
Does like the Prince of Wales.
A REAL COMPLEMENT.
’Tis well laudari a laudato;
Say thy worst freely :
As well damnari a damnato,
