The present King OF Prussia is accustomed
TO walk out in the plain dress of private gen
tleman, and in reference 10 this habit the bort
Zeifung relates an amusing anecdote. As his
Majesty was strolling about in the neighborhood
OF Sans Souci he met woman scolding and
beating an ass, yoked in milk cart the donkey
was obstinate, and showed no disposition to
move. The King asked her why she put her
self in such passion? 30 sir must make
haste with my milk, and this stupid animal
stands still here in spite Of all can say 10 him.
If am not in time with my milk at Potsdam
shall be ruined But | know his within. If
had any body to take hold of him by tie ear
while beat him behind he would then go on"
The King seized the ass firmly BY the ear, and
the milkwoman applied the lash unspaingly to
his rump. The donkey, getting into trot pro-
ceeded on his way without further urging, and
the POOR woman dismissed her unknown assist
ant with thousand thanks. When the King
returned from his walk he gave the Queen an
account Of the service he had performed. Her
Majesty appeared to have some scruples about
the decorum of such adventures on the part of
her royal consort with milkwomen. and she said,
Dear Fritz, doings Of this sort might be well
enough for Crown Prince, but it is quite diff
ferent thing for King" 20, my dear" inter
rupted the monarch, lit is nothing out Of the
way. assure you my father has helped for
ward many an ass in his time."-Er. pa.

PRINTERS IN LoNDoN.-A writer in the Lon
don Morning Chronicle, in an appeal 10 the no
bility and gentry in behalf of the letter-press
printers of London, says, that, from the inven-
ton of printing TO the present time, there has
never been so much distress among printers as
at the present time. Even in the year 1926, a
season which presented most tragic picture of
restitution amongst the printing profession, yet
it fell infinitely short in the number of cases Of
absolute want, as well as the period ofts duration,
when compared with the present time. The
number of journeymen compositors in London
is stated to be about $500, besides apprentices,
at the present period (about one-fourih more
than 1926 j the number Of pressmen about 1000
many of whom are as destitute of employment
as the oompositors, the one depending upon the
work which the other prepares TO his hands,
In the composing branch upwards of 1000 are
seeking employment in vain, besides about 500
averaging about los. week. This deplorable
state of things must astound every lover of lite
raure, but who may scarcely think it possible,
while he is feasting his mind with its ever
swelling stores, that London has such plague

COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES
WITH THE CANADAS.

We have before a copy Of the Treasury report,
containing statement Of The commerce and nasipa-
ton Of the United States These statistical docu-
lnents Of immense value, IL properly used In en-
hibiiing the dcselopeent Of commerce and industry
with the relative importance Of each department Of
business.
In looking this document we were struck with
a fact which think will surprise our readers as
much ourselves. II isthis: The navigation or the
tonnage, between the United States and the British
possessions in America, 10 onshird II the poie
mage Of the United States. OF this more than two
The United States, is Nth the Canades. The results
thus
While tonnage entering the ports ofthe
United States, 2,2s9 309
Entering from British America, 76i O96
From Canada, 535 46l
Great as is our trade with England the tonnage re-
quired TO carry on is less than that engaged ID the
lake commerce with the Canadas. Thus:
Entered from England, 1876 773
The immense value of fine goods in proportion 10
their weight explains why the value of importatons
from England 10 so much greater in proportion the
tonnage employed.
That the trade with the British possessions in Anne
iica Is valuable one, in commercial point Of view
we may gather from the state Of the account:
Value of imports, S2O07, 767
exports, 5,095, $50
The balance is here nearly three to one in our favor
goes however into the total Of our account with
England.
The simple statement Of the immense navigation
connected with the Canadas and the great amount OF
grain and provisions exported TO those provinces will
explain the greatly increased business of the Weland
canal and the demand at Cleveland and other laL G
ports for Ohio -four. The reader may be curious TO
know some Of the items in this account. They are
as follows, viz;

THE MORAL COURAGE OF PAUL.

The appearance of Paul before the Areopagus
Of Athens, involved an exhibition of moral
courage that has seldom been equalled, and
perhaps never surpassed in the history of man.
He was in the presence of the statesmen, phi
losophers, orators, and poets of the most intel
lectual and refined nation upon earth. He was
there to humor no popular sect to flatter no ma
tional vanity, 10 move upon no springs OF am
bision or future fame. He was there TO unfold,
TO iortify and rivet upon the judgment and con-
science Of his enlightened auditory, doctrines at
variance with every previous conviction and pre-
sent impulse doctrines totally subversve of that
faith in which they were born in which their
fathers died, and which they wished 10 bequeath
to their offspring.
He had no splendid and imposing forms of
worship, or NEUROLOGICAL mysteries, TO aid his
arguments, or concate the pride Of his audi
ence. He had no temples, statues, or affairs, TO
substitute for those which he would make de-
ISOLATE. He had no divinites peopling each
hill and vale, and grove and fount, to take the
places of those whom he disclaimed. He had
only the pure abstract conception of the one
supreme, holy and self existing God his uni
versa providence and mans final accountable
". He delivered his message as one raised
by his mighty theme above the frown, or the
commentator of his hearers. He was too clear
and discriminating for the subtle sheer ; too
earnest and impressive for the skeptical jest,
and too cogent and massive in thought for the
dialectica evasion. And though no correspond
ing results were immediately obvious, yet con-
victions were planted there which struck at
length into the very heart of Greece; and
which finally enthroned forsaken God upon
the affections and allegiance Of repentant ma
tion.-N. Amer.

AIDs-DE-cAMP OF WASHINGTON.

Two of these officers, who composed part of
the military family of Washington still live, viz;
Col John Trumbull, Of Connecticut, and the
Hon. Judge H. Baylies of Massachusetts. Col.
Trumbull was appointed the first year Of the war
in July, 1775, and Judge Bayes in the last,
1882. Col Trumbul is now IS years old, and
Judge Bayles &C. hut though is 66 years since
the former and SO since the latter served on the
staff Of the Father of our Country, they are both
in good bodily and mental health both 5, r
rounded by children and grand children, who
have grown up " like olive plants around their
tables" and both like living ties uniting the past
age and the present, both helping TO plant the
tree of liberty, both now sitting under its shade,
and enjoying its fruits. May they still longer
participate in the glorious results Of their early
struggles, for our wish for both is

Finances Of Indid.-By late paper published by
order of the House Of Commons il appears that IN the
presdencics of Bengal Madras and Bombay, the an
nua charges Government greatly exceed the income,
and that the excess is annually increasing Were it
not for the Northwestern provinces, there would be
serious deficiency in the Indian treasury Asst is the
expenses slightly exceed the income. For 1899 40 the
former Ella 1895 l8, and the latter, fl477S,
I65. The public debt OF the various governments
amount 10 f3O, 23 1862, and the Supreme government
is endeavorng to negotiate large loan but with lit
tie success. The English tory papers make use Of
these facts to show the mal-admnistration Of the
wings in India.

THE BRIDE.

She is dressd, she is ready--lhe orange-wreath now
IL entwnng her beautiful maidenly brow;
And its white blossoms blend with her dark raven hair
And her cheek as pale hut blush late was there
Her young sisters busy, her mother 10 still,
And her eyes the crush'd tears Of affection dist
As she looks on the treasure now leaving her heart
Oh she never had dreamt twas such sadness 10 par
Hs comes with the eager step love only lends:

But the sob Of her mother arrested his bliss .A

For shall reach her when safe on my breast
