QUEEN OF BELGIUM.

LOUISE MARIE THEREsE CHARLOTTE ISABELLE.
The Court journal contains biographical no.
tice of the young Queen, from which we make ex-
tracts. 1t is panegyrical if it does not Aatter.
The Queen of Belgium is the eldest daughter
of Louis Philippe, King of France: her moth
er is the daughter of ferdinand, King ef the two
Sicllies, and grand daughter of the Empress Maria
Theresa. The Queen was born at Palermo,
April 3, 1912, and is consequently nowin the 2 LIST
year of her age.
The memoir of young Princess who has pas
sed her life in the bosom of her family, must me-
cessary be brief; indeed, ii must almost entirely
be confined to traits of mnd and character. Un-
III the day of her marriage this accomplished
Princess devoted herself to her studies, which
were continually to her a source of the greatest
delight: she studied with the greatest assidulty
the M st important and profound works Of phios-
ophy and history, and attended he lectures of the
different Professors, who are generally the frs,
literary characters in + rance. In all her occu-
pations, she proposed to herself he perfection of
her own mind and character by moral improves
ment; and this line of conduct had an extraordi-
nary influence even over all the persons of her
household.

DEATH OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.

"Rear high thy tleek majestic hills,
Thy sheltered valleys proudly spread;
And Scotia, pour thy thousand rilIs,
And wave thy heaths, with blossoms red;
For ah, what future form shall tread
Thine airy heights, thy woodlands reign,
Since he, the sweetest bard is dead,
That ever poor'd the soothing srain?n
SIR WALTER SCOTT died at Abbotsford yes
terday [Sept. 22,l afternoon, about half past one
O'clock. No form of words could express our deer
and emphatic sense of the event we are called
upon to announce-and weemploy the simplest
1t was the will of God that the spark of the Di-
vine Essence should return whence it had ema,
mated and painful preparation had taught us
all to acquiesce. We do not lament Sir Walter
Scott's decease. The Great-the Good--the
Glfed-is taken from us, only when it was nc
longer desirable that the ruined clayey tenement
should imprison its immortal tenant. We for.
bear dwelling upon the few trfling details that
have reached us. The event itself compartments
all. Y Amidst the homage and regret of millions,
he passes from our earth, who never had an ene-
my on its surface. No death that can belalI,
not in our country alone, but in the whole civ;-
LIKED world, could be so universally felt.
Kings may bow their heads, and mighty men
pass away unregarded, if not unoticed; but the
death OF Sir w alter scott comes strongly home to
the sympathies of every human being that ever
heard of his name, and understood but the least
part of what that immortal name signifed.-
Such are the claims and the tfiumphs Of genius,
when united, as in this instance, with the finest
spirit of humanity that ever attempted human
clay, and made goodness visible. On the death
of Sir PHILIP SYDNEY, all England p' id his
memory the spontaneous homage of wearing
mourning. greater mar has fallen in Scot

PRoPHETIc.-The following sentence, written
by Chief Justice Marshall, more that 80 years
ago, concerning territorial dispute in agitation
between the Colonies of Massachusetts, and Con
necticut, nearly two hundred years ago, seems
little short of the spirit of prophecy, and to be as
Signally applicable to the situation of Georgia
and the Cherokees, at the present day, as to that
of Springfield and Fort Saybrook, in 1919.

"Thus it is, that member of Conledacy

will is dictated by itself"-NarshalVs Life of
