A ROYAL LESSON ON HUMAMrY.-Queen Car
oliae, wife Of George H., being Informed that
her eldest daughter, afterwards Princess of Or
ange, was accustomed, at goiDgsto rest, to en-
ploy one of the ladies of the court in reading
aloud to her till she should drop asleep, and that
on one occasion the princess suffered the lady,
who was indisposed, to continue the fatiguing
duty until she fell down in a swoon, determined
to inculcate on her daughter lesson OF human
ity. The next night, the queen, when in bed,
sent for the princess, and commanded her to
read aloud. After some time her royal high
ness began to be tired of standing, and paused,
in hopes of receiving an order to be seated
Proceed" said her majesty. In short time
second pause seemed to plead for rest "Read
on" said the queen again. The princess again
stopped, and again received an order to proceed,
till at length, faint and breathless, she was fore
ed to complain. Then said this excellent parent
"If you thus feel the pain of this exercise for
one evening only, what must your attendants
feel who do it every night! Hence learn, my
daughter, never to indulge your own ease, while
you suffer your attendants to endure unnecessa-
nv fatigue"

ppt,lR AfrFTJNG OF THE WATERS.

Close beside the meeting waters
long / stood as in dream,
Watching how the little river
Fell into the broader stream.
Calm and still the mingled current
Glided to the waiting sea;
On its breast serenely pictured
Floating cloud and skirting tree.
And thought, sob, human spirit!
Strong and deep and pure and blest,
Let the stream of my existence
Blend with thine, and find its restT
I could die as dies the river
In that current deep and wide;
Iwould live as lives its waters,
Flashing from a stronger tide!

THE HOME JOURNAL.
Published sceetly in the City Of NeW York at tro
dollars q year.
On the first of January last commenced q
New Series of this copious, comprehensive and ell
egantly printed Family Newspaper, which is now
acknowledged to be the indispensable drawing
room gazette of the country. home is hardly
complete we think we may safely venture to say,
without the Home Journal, which is the chronicle
of all that interests all classes of Society and of
the intelligence which most envens an American
Home.-New York is the great Centre, and here
at the fountain head of novelty incident, litera
ture, and foreign news the Home Journal is prin-
ed and published. Its editors, Geo p Morris 4
n. p. Willis,) devote their entire time, skill and
experience to the task of giving each week, every
thing worth knowing. They particularly keep an
eye on all the Whims and Novelties of New York
Society, presenting sketches of the Bellies of our
Time, and careful portraits of the distinguished
public characters In addition to this, the utmost
pains are taken by TRANSACTIONS from French Jour-
mails, and by Foreign Correspondence, to prepare
the reports of Fashionable Gossip of Paris, as will
| exceedingly instruct and amuse. We present
to our readers, the facts and outlines of all news.
In literary department., we aim at sketches
and readable criticisms, and in our CONVERSATIONS
of the fecund productions of the vast newspaper
world of England we aim to avoid the tiresome,
and the local. and transfer TO our columns the pick
of English information and brilliancy while we en-
deavor to select with true sense of pure morals,
true wit, and genuine humor In addition to the
above, propose TO give in the course ofthe COM
| ing volume, one entirely new feature, which we
think will particularly interest the Ladies, viz =
| A Series of Returned Love Letters. This being a
species of composition that interests all readers,
we trust to make the numbers ofthe Home Jour-
nal more eagerly looked for, and more carefully
preserved than ever We have also new correspon-
dents in London and Paris, who will send us much
| that could never reach lis through Foreign Jour-
nails As New Years Present from Gentleman
| to Lady. The Home Journal is one, of which
the remembrance is renewed every week, and It's
unsurpassed as a gift in good taste.

ENERGY-WnAT IT DoEs-We love your
upright, energetic men. Pull them this way,
and then that way, and they only bend, but new
er break. Trip them down, and in a trce they
are on their feet. Bury them in the mud and in
an hour they will be out and bright. They are
not ever yawning away their existence, or walk
ing about the world as if they had come into it
with only half their SOUL you cannot keep them
down--you cannot destroy them. But for these
the world would soon degenerate. They are
the salt of the earth. Who but they start any
noble project? They build our cities, and rear
our manufactures. They whiten the ocean with
their sails, and they backen the heavens with the
smoke of their steam-vessels and furnace fires.
They draw their treasures from the mine. They
plough the earth Blessings on them! Look
to them young men and take courage; initiate
their example; catch the spirit Of their energy.
Without life, what are you good for, if it is pass
ed idly away We should thus measure ifes
employment.

The Knckerbocker Magazine, edited by Louis
Gaylord Clark, will commence its 39th volume with
the number for January 1889. With the New Vol
ume the price will be reduced from Fire 10 Three
Dollars year, or % cents per number. The con-
tents of the Knickerbocker are entirely original,
and its character is sufficiently established to
der any remarks upon it unnecessary. The pub
Usher has been led to reduce the price of subscrp
ton from a knowledge of the fact that thousands
who wished to read the Knickerbocker were kept
from its perusal solely on account of the expense,
and he believes that many more who purchase
without regard to quality, so much as quantity,
will by low price be induced to become acquain-
ted with Knickerbocker, and thus become its
steady patrons. There will be change in the
form, size or character of the Magazine except
change always continued for the better. The terms

the use of your reason!" "No," was the reply,

Dodging the Question.-In Democratic AS
ISOLATION, not one hundred miles from where we
are now writing, a resolution was offered at a
regular meeting, by one of its leading members,
rejecting upon the course pursued by Congress
ut its last session, in increasing the salary of the
clerks in the government departments, and re-
fusing to increase the pay Of the mechanics and
aborers This resolution was put down by an
overwhelming majority. The leading arguments
used against its adoption were that the last being
a Democratic Congress- the passage Of such reso-
buttons by Democratic clubs, would, if made pub
lie. be seized upon by the Wings, and used as
capital against them in the present campaign.
We think that the incidents above referred to are
sufficient to satisfy any rejecting man who are
the real friends of the working portion of our
people Were we ut liberty we would give the
name Of the author of this resolution, that it
might be passed round He certainly deserves
the gratitude of every working man in the Union.
We think little serious reflection would place
him where he ought to be, in the Wing ranks.
A highly interesting temperance meeting was
held in the market-house yesterday afternoon.
Animated and encouraging addresses were de-
liyered by Messrs. Cammack and Cunningham,
of your city.
Many of our leading temperance men are talk
ing of thoroughly organizing their forces against
our next municipal election, for the purpose OF
running total abstinence ticket.
