The London correspondent of the

II was told the other day an anec-
dote of the Queen, which illustrates her
good sense aud real desire TO promote
the welfare Of her subjects She had
agreed to have her photograph taken
for the qualification Of such Of her
subjects as might desire to possess the
counterfeit presentment of their ruler,
She presented herself in a plain black

The photographer ventured to suggest
that she should send for some Jewels ~
"No, said the Queen, "this photograph
is to go among my people, and l wish
to do all in my power to discourage ex-
travagance." II is such little anecdotes
as these that have secured the Queen a
high place in the regard of the people.

Then th6husband would take the fair
young bride into a corner, but he would
no sooner commence talking to her than
the gaunt sister would rush in between
them and join angrily in the converse
ton.
The people at the hotel sscertoined
what this meant at nine o'clock that
evening There was an uproar in the
room which had been assigned to the
newly married couple. Female shrieks
aud masculine "swears" startled the
people Of the hotel and they rushed TO
the spot The gaunt female was press
ing and kicking against the door Of the
room, and the newly married man, most
ly undressed, was barring her out with
all his might Occasionally she would
kick tho door far enough open TO dis
close the stalwart husband in his gen.

II appeared that the tall female in.
sisted upon occupying the same room
with the newly married pair, that her
sister was favorably disposed to the ar.

agreed to it before the wedding took
place, and was now Indignantly repudi-
ating the contract.

A MOTHER's LOvE.-Children, look
in those eyes; listen to chat dear voice,
notice the feeling of even single touch
that is bestowed upon you by that gem
tie handl Make much of it while yet
you have tho most precious of all good
girts-a loving mother. Read the un-
fathomable love Of those eyes; the kind
anxiety of that tone and look, however
slight your pain. In after life, you
may have friends--but never will you
have again the inexpressible love and
gentleness lavished upon you which
none but a mother bestOws. Often do
I sigh, in my struggles with the hard,
uncaring world, for the sweet, deep Sc.
curity l felt. when of an evening nest
ling to her bosom, I listened to some
quiet tale, suitable to nay age, read in
her tender and untiring voice. Never
can forget her sweet glanees, cast up
on me when appeared to sleep, never
her kiss of peace at night!
Years have passed away since we laid
her beside my father in the old'church-
yard: yet still, her voice whispers from
the grave, and her eye watches over me
as 1 visit spots long since hallowed to
the memory of my mother Macaulay.
