A SCENE At CHARLES THE SECONDS DEATH
BED.-ssI should have told you, in his fits his
feet were as cold as ice, and were kept rubbed
with hot clothes, which were d fficult to get.
Pillows were brought from the Duchess of Ports
mouths by Mrs. Roache His Highness the
Duke of York was the first there, and then, |
think, the Queen Che sent for her) the Duchess
of Portsmouth swooned in the chamber, and was
carried out for air; Nelly Gwynne roared to a
disturbance, and was led out, and lay roaring
behind the door; the Duchess wept and re-
turned; the Princess afterwards Queen Anne)
was not admitted, he was so CHASTITY sight (his
eye-balls were turned that none Of the blacks
were seen, and his mouth drawn up to one eye,)
that they feared it might affect the child she
goes with. None came in at the common door,
but by an odd side door, to prevent a crowd,
but enough OF convenient times to satisfy all
The grief of the Duchess of Portsmouth did not
hinder her packing and sending many strong
boxes to the French Embassador's; and the
second day Of the Kings sickness, the chamber
being Kept dark-one who comes from the light
does not see very soon, and much less one who is
between them and the light there is-she went
to the side Of the bed and sat down, and, taking
ln6 IYph n,se fall
diamond rings; thinking herself alone, and ask
ing him what he did with them on, said she
would take them off, and did it at the same
time, and, looking up, saw the Duke at the other
side, steadfastly looking on her, at which she
olushed much, and held them toward him, and
said, Here, sire, will you take them'' mo,
madam, he said, they are as safe in your
hands as mine will not touch them till I see
how things will GO But since the Kings
death she had forgotten to restore them, though
the Duke knew that she took them, for he told
the story"
The Poor DRUNKARD.-Oh have sometimes
looked at bright, beautiful boy, and my flesh
has crept within me at the thought that there
was bare possibility he might become drunk
ara; was once playing with a beautiful boy
in the city of Norwich, Connecticut, was car
rylng him to and fro on my back, both of us en-
M,
and think he loved me. During our play
said to him: Harry, will you go down with
me to the side of that stone wall % sob, yes,''
was his cheerful reply. We went together, and
saw man lying listlessly there, his face up
turned to the bright blue sky; the sunbeams
that warmed, and cheered, and illumed us, Law
upon his porous, greasy face; the pure morning
wind kissed his parched lips, and passed away
poisoned; the very swine in the fields looked
more noble than he, for they are fulfilling the
purposes of their being AS looked upon the
poor, degraded man, and then looked upon that
child, with his bright brow, his beautiful blue
eyes, his rosy cheeks, his pearly teeth and ruby
lIps-the perfect picture Of life, peace and inno-
cence; as looked upon the man and then upon
the child, and felt his little hand conyulsiyely
twiching In mine, and saw his little lips grow
white. and bis eye dim gazing upon the poor
drunkard; then did pray to God to give me an
everlastingly increasing capacity to hate with
burning hatred any instrumentality that could
make sach a thing of a being once as far as
hat child! [Gongh.
A CHALLENGE.-A little fop, conceiving him
ielf insulted by gentleman, who ventured to |
give him some wholesome advice, strutted up to |

You are no gentleman here is my card con-
'ider yourself challenged Should l be from
lome when you honor me with call, l shall
cave word with a friend to q settle all the pre-
iminaries to your satisfaction Te which the |
