AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PoPE.-- 4
correspondent Of the Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser, writingat Rome, February ID,
1915, gives the following interesting
account of an interview with the Pope,
a hale old man of nearly so years:
pope Gregory XVI. maintains in
the splcndor Of the Pontiiicial Court all
the personal simplicity and taste and
manners which were appropriate TO
his early tifc. The same bed which
he used in the Benedictine Monastery
passed with him TO his Cardinal Pal
ace and he now sleeps on it in his regal
chamber in the Vatican. had the
honor of being received by him with
the case and polltcncss of private
gentleman. | found him without
guards or servants, or a single attend
ant. in room very simply furnished,
and in a plain morning dress. lie
continued standing during an audience
of half an hour. and convcrsed aflably,
referred TO the destruction Of the Ursu-
line Convent in 1884, seemed perfect
ly acquainted with the judicial pro-
,eedings, and relraincd from any OBJ
servations which he might have Justly
applied to that unwonted enormity.-
The Pope wore IA velvet slipper, having
n cross upon it embroidered in gold.
The Catholics on being presented,
kncel and press their lips upon this
cross. have seen the ceremony in
public dcvouty performed. tits call
ed in derision kissing the Pope's Toe.
! need not say that nothing Of the kind
was demanded ofme. The formality
in dress and department was exactly
that which rropriety would require in
visit to the President Of the Uuitcd
States; and ! assure you that differing
toto caio, from his religious faith, | was
highly gratiiied in an interview with
an individual who is not only a sover-
cign Prince in his own dominions, but
is considered the head OF the true
church by more than one half Of tho
Christian work."

claim Of Spain. Until very recently
the justice Of the claim has been tac-
lily acquicsccd in by England herself
Will i! now be pretended that as a.
gainst England atall events, Spain had
not the title by prior discovery-as-
suredly she had, and the United States
by the treaty Of Florida( lSl9)acquired
therein all her right and title to Orc
gon, Spain having ceded the same by
said treaty, which was recognized and
confirmed by our treaty with Mexico
January, 1882 But it is said on the
other side ofthe water, that the title of
Spain by prior discovery was not per-
fectcd because no landing or settlement
was made by the discoveries. This is
a modest argument for England, when
it is recollccted that, under a grant
from Charles II to his brother, Duke of
York, they took forcibly possession Of
New York, and drove out the Dutch,
the only people who had landed and
settled. Yet the English claimed New
York by discovery without settle
ment) made of the Atlantic coast from
Newfoundland TO Virginia in l4o6 by
Giavanni Cabot. Venetian navigator
in the service of Henry VII. Such is
the case too with her claim by dicov-
cry to the Falkland Islands. The 6:s-
covercr Of the Islands did not touch
them, but was driven by storm where
he saw them. On this England claims
and holds them. T. S. Il.

And lei the work begin;
The world is pressing on without,
And we must press within.
lie, fly the frisket now my boys!
Who are more proud than we p
While wait the anxious crowd without,
The force of po,oer to see.
So pull away-none are so great,
As they who run the car;
And who have dignity like those
Who practice al The bar :
And YOU who lwirl the roller there,
Be quick. you iaky man !!
Old Time is rolling on himself,
10 beat him if you can.
Re careful Of The light and shade,
Nor let the sheet grow pale;
Be careful of the moak.ey looks
OF every head and tale.
Though high in office is our stand,
And pi.ous is our case;
We shall not cast siur on those
Who fill lower place.
The gaping world is fed BY us.
Who retail knowledge here;
By feeding them we feed ourselves,
Nor deem our fate too dear.
Up. up my boy, and wash your form,
And thus the case we'll Join:
We have deposi,es in the bunk;
Our drapers are full of coin.
And who more genieelly cut,
A figure and dush +!
Yet sometimes we. who press so much
Ourselves are pressed for CASH.

They only bend, but never speak
When angry storms arise
Prepared the hand of grief TO take,
And wait for brighter skies.
Emily Acton was an excellent young
lady Of some eighteen years. Her
parents although in humble circum-
stances, were industrious. and the
daughter was carly taught to employ
herself about that which was useful
She took pride in rising early and get
ting breakfast ready by the time her
mother arose; after which she would
employ herself in the kitchen, or sew
or knit. Unlike great many of her
sex, she was seldom seen ut the win
dow to watch tho young men who pas
scd, dressed in the height of fashion,
It was not because Emily was poor, but
she had different taste, and thought
more of her character and the assist
ancc she might render her mother
Her dress was always neat, but never
gaudy; and it did not trouble her if
she could not follow the foolish fashions
Oft the pay. Emily was also interest
ing in her conversation. You would
not hear her talk about the fellows and
the beaux, from one month to another /;
nor remark what this person and that
one wore at church. She attended
meeting to hear, and not to sec and be
seen: and what she heard was treasur-
cd in her mind. Miss Acton was cal
led a little odd by some Of her fiirty
young friends, who were all for fashion
and show but they loved her never
thclcss. Emily had an excellent dispo-
sition she was kind and accommoda-
ting, and never INDUCED in angry
words or manifested unpleasant feel
ings.
Mr.. Acton was a worthy shoema-
ker f; but as his business was not very
good and he not an expert workman.
It was with difficulty that he paid his
debts and lived comfortably. To pur-
chase the neccssaries of life requires
no little sum, especially when rents are
high and wood and -four dear. To
help along in the family. Emily was in
the habit of taking in work, and often
earned from twelve to fifteen shillings
week. This she gave to her mother
TO expcnd in any way she might think
proper.
One morning as Emily was return
ing some work that she had made, she
picked up a small gold ring. On ex-
aiming it as she returned home, she
discovered the initials -. s." engrav-
cd on the inside. Mother" said she,
this may belong to some one who
prises II highly; otherwise | think the
owner would not have had his initials
engraved upon it."
"Ifso you may find the owner; for
twill certainly be advertised"
DO YOU think one would go to that
expense for so trihrng thingl"
Not unless it is valued more as a
gift than for the gold it contains"
Emily carefully put away the ring
10 her box and thought but little Of it
for few days. On Tuesday morning
when the Gazette came-for Mr.. Ae-
Ion was subscriber to this paper-on
boxing over the advertising columns
Emily exclaimed,
Why, mother, the ring ] found last
week Is really advertised"
Are you sure ofit?"
Yes, il describes the very ring"

There is distinction between the beauty of
political theory, and the possibility OF political
practice, which Mr.. Polk will, perhaps, discover
hereafter His present excuse is, ,ha, he is the
youngest man that ever filled the Presidents
Chair.
The Government OF the United S:a,cs--,hat
is the Supreme Government-has been en,rus,-
ed as he says, with The exclusive management Of
foreign affairs. Yes; 10 each State is confded
the exclusive care of its own interests, and these
may, in very particular and almost exclusive
manner, be affected BY the management, of TO-
reign affairs The Northern States may see ad-
vantage in war with Great Britain, and the
Southern sec little else than ruin The exclusive
management OF foreign affairs By the Supreme
Government becomes in such case, rather a
ticklish matter. The Southern States may find
their duty 10 themselves The FIRST thing to be al
tended TO- Mr.. Folks task is easy enough, while
he has only 10 crafty The ascendant party which
brought him into power. The Government OF
