MATTERS AND THINGS.
EY "JENSIE DEANS.

you: and now, when tell you Ill about II,
VIC can either quarrel right or be good
friends again. In the frs. place, you stop
ned nv paper last winter, and | mover saw
tho two last articles, ''Sno"" and Lines
~ a Rivuiet," which | sent you and you
said YOU would print. And hore, just
Yesterday, father brought sach pie OF
"Newspn pors.'-thc first OF them we had
seen for five months. All this time you
were sending them 10 tho wrong office,
lust as if we lived any place but here! |
thought editors knew every thing that any
body else know, and more, too; and every
body here knows live at homo, and that
home is here.
Another thing must tell you about,
because father scoIds about it. lie says |
must write my namo Deans" because
that was tho name in Scotland long timo
ago, when his grandfathcr's great grand
father was own cousin to jennie Dean $
father-her who saw the queen and talked
to her; and mother says, because ! am
named for her, that it is all the Same as if
she was my grandmother. and Us if We
were related to the king, since the queen
talked face TO face with our own blood re-
la,ion and gave her present from her
royal hand. So, Of course, wo mover
visit with common people without looking
grand, as we arc "come of gentle blood. y
| tell YOU, Mr.. Editor, it must DE grand
thing to sec a qucen-to got n present from
her, or get leave TO give her one, WHICH Is
oil tho same. Won. those ladies' in New
York feel badly about having 10 walk OH
such a dirty iittlo world as this, when ne s
comes, by the steamer, that her Majesty
was at church with their bonnet on! sup
pose she must have sold all her fine things,
and clothes, too, TO buy bread for the poor
people who are starving in her country;
and those good ladies sent her a bonno: for
fear she should 90 10 church bareheaded.
IL you think the queen Is very badly off
for clothes, ! have such a dear love Of q
ftp for i,-and would as lief send il to her
Majesty as not. Mother says am ninny
that the queen wears night.caps all made
of real thread lace; but mother must be
wrong. A kind lady, like her. would
never wear fno things when SO many peo-
pie, who work to buy them for her, arc
starving; and if she had plenty of clothes,
those ladies would not think 10 send her 4
bonnet when so many people hero have
none. Thorc is old Mrs. Jones can't go
to church for want of bonnet. And
then, as TO my cap not being nice enough
for the queen, Anna Young wore it when
sho h9rc, and if you could have seen
her, with her great black eyes dancing
undor tho border, and Tho big, saucy,
auburn curs bursting out TO lie and rest
on her snowy shoulders. you would havo
thought, like me that if tho queen could
look hal as pretty in it, she need never be
jealous Of Albert again.
Blu, oil this time forgot 10 tell you
about writing my name wrong. | thought
father didn't know-bccause he never
learned grammar--that name was q noun.
and nouns arc singular and plural, "boN.
boxos;' SO thought one Of US was Dean
and all Deans" But old Mr.. Smith says
some nouns arc always plural, like .'scis-
sors;" and some always the same, like
sheep; aud then ho looked cunning, as
much as 10 say. You are Jennie Sheep"
l would like TO have criod, but i, was 10
use, for no would just have chopped me on
the chin, and said, ..Bah!''
But there is another reason why | was
angry at you, and why am angry vet
All YOU literary editors used TO be so ten

II very cruel and vulgar for country editors
to entertain their readers with accounts Of
