deus Hyatt, after learning him a
lesson which he will not soon be
likely TO forget. Tbaddrus has re-
allied, by this time. that the Sen

m'serate the Republicans for the
loss of political capital which they
have sustained 10y this action of
the Senate. Some Of them have
been hoping that the Senate would
keep Hyatt in Jail until after cleo

then perhaps he will visit his

The young heart is borne TO il by all
its instincts, and requires powerful
effort TO turn it into the narrow dark
passages to death. Pope was a native

QUEEN ELIZABETH AND ESSEX


QUEEN elizabeth AND EssEx.-
More profuse than generous, he is
forever putting Elizabeth in a
fume, now by squanjering money,
away lives. She does not like TO
pass him by-for his father wa.
her friend when friends were scant
with her. It is a trait in the Queen
as she grows old, that she likes to
see the sons of her first and best
friends near her person. Hudson
is her Chamberlain, Cecil her Sec
rotary. She loved Sydney for his
fathers sake. But Essex has sc.
cond claim for her love, which her
rancorous slanderers have thought
good to name he is her very near
kinsman IF the Boleyn blood. Es-
sex aud the two Careys and her
only male relations on her mothers
side, rs James of Scotland is her
sole surviving male relation of her
fathers race. lie was born into
her lap and into her love; his
grandmother, Lady Knollys, is her
first cousin and she clings to him
with clannish pride which she
only feels for her mothers kin. All
his proud jerks, she laughs at,
bears with, as signs OF blood. That
she loves him more than lady Of
sixty may love her cousins grand
child is a monstrious fable. No
man of sense believes it, or ever
did believeit. Warmer love would
have been sin against nature. Es-
sex's letters to her, though brim-
ming with poetry. playfulress and
compliment, are dutiful and chaste.
In her letters to him there is not a
line that she might not have sent
TO a grandson Of her own.
