"We might safely conclude," Mr. Trench premises, "that a nation would not be likely tamely to submit to tyranny and wrong, which made 'quarrel' out of 'querela.'" This, I say, is very ingenious, but did _this_ nation make _quarrel_ out of _querela_? Did they not take it ready made from their neighbours, the French, Italian, Spanish, who have all performed, and, I presume, led the way in performing, the same exploit; showing that they must all have had the same disposition inhering in them to set about righting and redressing themselves, though not always, perhaps, with so prompt and active a vigour as that ascribed to the English by Mr. Trench. Q. Bloomsbury. _Wild Plants, and their Names_ (Vol. vii., p. 233.).--A preparation from St. John's Wort, called red oil, is used in the United States for the cure of bruises and cuts. It may have been formerly used in England. St. John's Wort is one of the commonest weeds in the Middle States. UNEDA. Philadelphia. _Jeremy Taylor and Christopher Lord Hatton_ (Vol. vii., p. 305.).--Bishop Taylor uses the word _relative_ in the sense of a dependent or humble friend in several places in his works; a fact which his editor, Bishop Heber, missed observing, as appears from a passage in the Preface to Taylor's _Works_. M. E. Philadelphia. _Burial on the North Side of Churches_ (Vol. vi., p. 112. &c.).--The opinion of your correspondent SELEUCUS, that the avoidance of burial on the north side of a churchyard is to be attributed to its being generally the unfrequented side of the church, is borne out by the fact, that in the rare cases where the entrance to the church is _only_ on the north side, the graves are also to be found there in preference to being on the south, which in such a case would of course be "the back of the church." SELEUCUS mentions one instance of a church entered only from the north. To this example may be added the little village church of Martin Hussingtree, between Worcester and Droitwich, where the sole entrance is on the north, and where _all_ the burials are on the same side of the church. CUTHBERT BEDE, B. A. _Rubrical Query_ (Vol. vii., p. 247.).--The contradiction of the two rubrics is purely imaginary. Both are to be closely construed. The _first_ enjoins notice to be given of Communion as of any other festival; the _second_ provides that in the same service (notice having been so given) the Exhortation shall be the last impression on the thoughts of the congregation.
