The Miracles of Kings in Old
Times.

Times.
In his History of England. Mr.. Mae
aulcy gives us a rapid sketch of An nn-
cient aud royal practice now long abro-
gated. The ceremony Of touching per-
sons afflicted with scrofula had come
down almost unaltered from The darkest
of the dark ages to the timo Of Newton
and Locke. The Stuarts frequently
dispensed the healing influences in the
Banqueting,housc. TIE days on which
this miracle was to be wrought were fix
ed at sittings of the pr:y.coupcil aud
were solemniy notified by the clergy in
all the parish churches of the realm.
When the appointed time came, several
divincs in fun cauonicaes stood around
the canopy of state. The surgeon of the
royal household introduced tie sick. A
passage from the sixteenth chapter Of
the Gospel Of ST. Mark was read When
the words, They shall lay their hands
on the sick, and thy shall recover" had
been pronounced, there was pause, and
one of the sick was brought up to the
king His majesty strokcd the ulcers
and swellings. and hung around tho pa.

was iastehed goid com: Ihe other
sufferers were then led up in succession;

The Future Life,


How shall know thee in the sphere which
keeps
The disembodied spirits OF the tomb 2
When all OF thee that time could withcr sleeps
And perishes among the dust We tread 7
For shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain
II there meet thy gentle presence not
Nor hear the voice love, nor read again
In thy serencst eyes the tender thought
Will not thy own meek heart demand mo
there
That heart whose fondest throbs to me
were given 2
My name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
And must thou never utter it in heaven7
In meadows famed by heavens life breathing
In the resplendence ofthat glorious sphere,
And larger movements of the unfettered
mind,
win thou forget the love that joined us
herc7
The love that lived through all the stormy
past,
And mceldy with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tcnderer to the last,
And shall it expire with life and be no
more
A happier lot than mine, and larger light
Await thee there and thou hast bowed thy
will
In cheerful homage to the r"le of right,
And lowest all, and renderest good for i'll.
For me, the sordid cares in which dwell
Shrink and consume my heart, as heat the
scroll
And wrath has left its scar-that fire Of hell
Has left its frightful scar upon my soul.
Yet though thou woar'St the glory Of the
sky .-.,.ir -f-
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name,
The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle
eye,
Lovelier in heavens sweet climate, yet the
Shalt thou not teach me in that calmcr home,
The wisdom that learned SO i'll in this
The wisdom in Which is till become
Thy fit companion in that land of bliss.
