that our affections arc drawn out upon
something. A favoriie tree or flower

THE TEA TAX IN AMERlC CA-THE
PALACE AT KEW,

- 3 4
About eighty years ago, there lired III
England a man whose name was George
Guelph, bettor known in history as George
the Third king Of Great Britain. He was
a tolerable kind Of man in point Of abilities
not, in fact, q bad meaning person. He
would have made better farmer, grocer, or
tradesman, than king
But he was born in the .divine right of
kings He was decendant Of William,
the conquer Of England i-v! Ham,. Duke Of
Normandy; bastard son--his ino,6et being
tanners daughter in Normandy, who ssnf-
rendered her charms to the fayora Of Will
Jams father outside the bans OF the church.
William the First was brave man#RI IIes
crossed the channel With his retainersss ind
on the field Of Hastings defeated the Saxonsss
killed Harold. their king; and took posscss
sion of England.
There is little town called Kew, in Sur
rey, England, and George the Third, after
he had been but few years on the throne;
bethought he would like to build palace in
this town of Kew. Parliament had been
liberal to him in salary, and could hardly ask
on additional appropriation for the purpose of
building palace. He suggested the thing
TO his prime minister, who told him tile mat
ter might be done by stamp-tax, and duty
laid on tea Of two-pence per pound in his
colonies of America. These duties the toady
tllo't would more than be enough to build a
hundred palaces. The king recommended
the matter 10 Parliament, and Parliament
passed law to that effect The colonies
re used to be thus taxed, unless they were
allowed to send members to the body that
passed the law; for the purpose Of defending
themselves.
Revolution followed-seven years OF bloody
h,,t H.
came out free. In their efforts they were
aided by France. This war cost the English
government some one hundred and fifty mil
lion pounds sterling, or six hundred millions
OF dolars-a pretty good price for the palace
of George the Third at Kew.
When the French officers returned to their
native land, they began to feel a love of repub-
lcansm themselves, and they planted the
seed in their native land. a few years after,
a revolution broke out in France. They all
took part in it; but through the wildness of
tile people, the republic which they had form
ed ended in the military-yet as far as VIC
tories went, glorious-despotsm Of Napo-
leon. TO drive him from the throne finally
cost England abont six hundred million
pounds sterling, This was payixg rather
dear for the palace at Kew.
Within few brief weeks, a monarch Of
one of the most powerful nations of Europe
has been driven from his throne like vaga-
bond. Half the world is in agitation, and re-
publics are the general cry OF the people
But for the palace at Kew, our own country
might at this day have been part Of tile Brit
ish Empire, France a monarchy still, and
England out of debt, comparatively speak-
ing. Kings as the clown says are ''gettihg
to DO low company" Halleck wrote truly
and prophetically some years ago:
.'1he monarch fears printers frown-
brckbat's range;
Give me in preference TO crown
Five shllings in change"
