measured terms, and exhorted them to persevere. "My
young friends," said he, " persevere, and you cannot fail
of success ; some of you may yet make Washingtons,
Franklins, or Websters,—all of you can make Polks !"

HONESTY REWARDED.—On Friday, as the King of the
French was stopping to change horses at Essonne, a poor
woman presented herself with a petition, stating that
she had fallen sick at a public-house, and incurred a debt
of Bfrs., which she could not pay, and as a guarantee for
which the publican had detained her dog, which was her
only companion and friend. She owed the publican 18fra,
but had 10frs. in her purse, and could not, she said, de-
ceive the kine by asking for more than she actually wanted
to pay the debt. The king shortly afterwards returned the
petition, with several pieces of gold wrapped in it.

at his disposal, as at Paris, he should have had to take up
his quarters at a public hotel • but on its being explained
to him that the Emperor of Russia occupied the same
apartments at Mivart's, and that Her Majesty's Govern-
ment bad no apartments reserved for the accommodation
