Several years past, yet Williams unhappi-
ness and estrangement from his wife continued
He was heartily ashamed of his past conduct
and had taken great pains to conceal his liason
from Mary. Catherine Nillars, too, had been
dismissed This was a balm to Mary's wounded
heart; for no slight or neglect had been able to
wean her affections from her husband.
Matters in England were arriving at crisis
James sat uneasily on the throne-his affairs
were in a lamentable state; and although q male
heir had been born to the house of Stuart, he
was not acknowledged by the Protestants, and
the tyrant felt he was tottering to his fall Over
these and subsequent periods, we must pass
lightly. Return we again to Holland.
William, by this time, had learned to respect
and esteem his wife; he no longer saw her the
Ignorant child he once considered her, but the
dignihed, graceful woman, and future sovereign
of powerful nation. As Queen, she was to him
an object of envy and jealousy
Bentick," said he one day, after having been
forAsome time plunged in gloom, ss Mary Will ere
long be Queen of England James will either be
deposed or he must abdicate; in either case,
Mary takes his place She may be Queen, but
William will never be her subject When she
goes to England, William will remain in Hol-
land where, at least, he is a Prince in his own
right. If ever visit England, it must be as
King, and nothing else. Never will William be
subject to any one''
It is strange that Mary should have been kept
thus ignorant Of her true position. She knew
that some day she would be Queen; but that her.
husband should not be King, was an idea that
had never entered her mind. She was alone in
her chamber one day, and thus spoke to herself:
''Has it been good policy to withdraw myself
from society, where might oftener have met my

When Mary on her return learned that the
Prince had visited her apartments, she bitterly
lamented having been prevailed on to 90 out.

"The Seer,'' n Mormon Journal

This is the title Of new monthly publ
cation just commenced in this city, protesting
to be for the calculation Of the doctrines of the
Latter Day Saints, or Mormons, as they are
more generally called. The editor is Mr.. Or
SON PRATT, name pretty well known in con,
nexion with this sect.
The first number opens with a prospectus
setting forth the objects Of the periodical, and
expressing hope that the President elect
Members Of Congress, Heads of Departments
of the National Government, Governors and
Legislative Assemblies of the various States,
the Ministers of every denomination, and all
the inhabitants of this great Republic, will
patronize it. The prospectus is followed by a
letter Of appointment. signed by BRIaHAM

PRATT, one of the Apostles Of the Church of
Latter Day Saints, has been appointed by

and because, in the second place, we were as

Subsequent representations, however, were
strong enough to change our opinion, and to in-

The clamor for prescription, originating in
the instincts il not the necessities of the De-
mocracy. and echoed for demagogical purposes
by Senators assembled at city feasts, has had
It's intended effect. The President elect.
whose first impulse was to preach magnanimity
and forbearance as the fitting attributes Of
VIctors, now finds it necessary to repudiate
both, and to proclaim the reputation as the
starting point Of his official career. His home
organ, the Concord On. H) Patriot, gives
forth no uncertain sound upon tho subject.
Having no further use for false pretences,
great ar small. it avows that General PIERCE
accepts and intends to enforce Mr. WELLER's
demand for the general and prompt decapitaton
of Wing office-holders everywhere and of every
degree. The Concord journalist, however,
lacks the candor though he endorses the appeal
of the Senator from California. Mr.. WELLER
urged decaP,ation as merited penalty, Incl

pounded by Governor MARCY. General
fIERcE's organ. on the other hand, endea vors

presentation" Of Wing policy in corresponding
49,. istances.
The allegation OF the Patriot that "proscrip.
ton fol opinions sake" has been the uniform
rule of Wing administrations, and especially of
that which began in 1913. will deceive no one
familiar with contemporary events. 1t is
an allegation to which the course OF the
present Administration, and the condition of
| the Departments at this moment. give the lie
direct. 1t is an i'll omen that the most conf
dental organ Of the President elect seeks to
justify what Is to be one Of his earliest official
acts by SO pal pable perverson of historic
truth.
! Equally untrue is the assertion that in the
late canvass Wing tffice-ho!defs, as a class
devoted their time, money, and influence to
party purposes. The same statement was
made during the progress Of the canvass, and
was shown TO be at variance with the facts
