Concerning the rumor of the second marriage
of Queen Victoria, C. c. Hazewel, in the Bos-
ton Traveller, gossips thus pleasantly
The English of the present day do not fancy
the re-marriage of royal ladies, though that
kind of thing is not unknown to their annals
Adelioia of LOuyailne, second wife of Henry {,
took second husband in the person Of William
de Albina, and the marriage was very happy
one. Isabella Of AngOuleme, wife Of King
John, of unblessed memory, took y second hus-
band in the Comte de la Marche, Lusignan,
and bore him eight children Isabella of Va
lois, second wife of Richard ii had for her
second husband her cousin, the Duke Of Orleans
poet OF much regown. katarine Of Val0is,
wife and widow of Henry ", the hero Of
Shrewsbury and Agincour, grew tired OF sin
gle life and married Owen Tudor, q handsome
young Welchman, whose face was his fortune,
and who had fought as common soldier in her
royal husbands armies.
This was most important marriage, and has
coored history for well nigh four centuries (;
for it had never been c1nsummated, the House
of Tudor never would have had place in the
list of dynasties, aud the influence OF that
house on the worlds history though as royal
line, it existed less than llS years is Of unpar-
alleed character Katharine, like sensible wo
man, married for comfort, being IA love with
brave man; but the consequences OF her ven
ture, as old MIR. Weller would say, were such as
never could have visited the dreams Of even a
Zenobia or a Semiramis. Katharine Parr, the
last Of Henry Wills six wives, married Lord
Seymous, of Sudley, aud she had more than
once married before she had become Queen Con-
sort 1t is believed that Henrietta Maria,
widow of Charles l., was secretly married to
Harry Jermyn. No English Queen-dowagcr has
been suspected of marrying second time since
Henrietta Mara's death,
OF English Queens-regnant previous to Victo-
ria, there we're married, namely, Mary l., Mary
H., and Annie, but none of them had n second
husband. OF English Kings, Henry / Edward
l., Richard H., Henry w., and james H., were
twice married. Henry Tvs first marriage and
widowhood occurred before he had any prospect
of becoming King, and his second wife, Joanna
of Navarro, was Duchess Dowager Of Brittany
and was the first widow who ever wore the crown
matrimonial of England, Elizabeth Woodyllle,
wife of Edward w., being the second, and
Katharine of ArragOn and Katharine Parr the
third and fourth. James IL, marriages were
both made while be was subject, but heir pre-
sumptye to the crown. Henry VIII, married
and murdered and divorced women until ho could
say that he had proved fatal to five womou, aud
hoped to dispose of sixth but death thought

that so good purveyor to his NAV deserveo
himself to be taken, and so took him before ne
could take OF the head Of his third Kate, tue
savage and unrelenting Petruohio that he was;
OF the four Queens-regnant, two, Anne anu
Victoria, became widows. Anne was widowed
in her forty.fifth year, and she was asked py
Parliament to marry again, to which she msue
dignifed reply.
In these days no Parliament would think OF
asking Queen Victoria to marry. Modern ideas
are more delicate than were those Of old times.
The English Of Anne's day would have been as
much pleased had their sovereign married a se'
oond time, as the English Of to-day would be
displeased were Victoria to bestow her fair hand
upon some fortunate man, but Prince Albert
was a very different sort Of q man from Prince
George of Denmark, and his memory is revered.
Then people as well as sovereigns have become
more exclusive, and Queen is considered to be
a more sacred parsonage in England now than
she was even in the divine right days. There
would not be the slightest impropriety in the
Queens marrying second time. but if she were
so to marry, no matter how worthy should be
her choce-and she is not the woman to make
a bad choice-the proceeding would 60 far to
destroy her well won popularity. In this coun-
try we should take very different view Of the
matter, and heartily should we congratulate
female sovereign, had we one, should she enter
a second time into the holy state Of matrimony

Though needs it no persuasive lay
To bid you come another day
Yet gratitude, and friendship sweet

Your Christmas has we trust, been spent
As ever that day should be,
In warm and kindly merriment,
And yet with due sObriety;
For this we augur from those traits
Which you have shown within our gates,
The generous soul, to joy inclined,
And yet the clear judicious mind.
So. from like causes, we presage
That yours would be a New Year glad,
And one choice blessing we engage,
AT least-that you shall be lreH clad
This much we promise till no more
You tread the spots you loved before,
And long may Heaven avert that hour

DEv1ATIoHs OF THH COMPASS Tho Revue
Maritime et Coloniale publishes letter on the de-
viaiions to which the needle is liable in oonse-
ouence Of the substitution Of iron for wood in
shius one of the latest conirivanoes for di-
minishing this serious inconvenience is the cor
recting compass, which affords the means Of
taking the SUMS position, whereby the deviationG
may be corrected 1t has sometimes been sup
posed that fogs and certain ether states Of the
atmosphere could influence the needle; out this
has not been borne out by observation. Light
ming alone exercises decided influence on the
needle by reversing its points, so that north be-
comes south, and conversely. When vessel is
nearing land, the needle is said to be affected.
and certain rocks there are that exercise de-
cideL magnetic iehuenee on the compass, vol
canic rocks especially, but this influence is not
felt on board ships. But the action Of the iron
forming on the ships sides is far different
nothing, not even the interposition OF thick
non-magnetic body, will stop its influence; far
less. as some have believed, copper coating or
thick paint But tho real danger proceeds from
another source, since the ship herself under her
weight OF canvas, may increase the deviation Of
tho needle. From experiments made on board
an ron-b but sailing vessel, provided with iron
,irpipg and lower yards Of steel, aud with two
binnace oompasses on her pOops, and a third
placed between the mzzen aud mainmasts, the
lower part Of which was all Of iron, the devia-
tons Of the needle were respectively Sc deg,
"a deg. and S5 deg Without entering into
further details on this matter, the writer Of the
article concludes with condemning the impru-
dencc Of those who freight an iron vessel, before
she has been at sea for a considerable time, in
order to ascertain how her compass behaves
Moreover, a captain undertaking the command
of an iron ship. should be called upon to show
that he has previously been on board such
vessel on loug voyage, SO that he may know
how to deal with the deyiaions observable on
hoard the vessel to be commanded. GaligHaHt.

The noblest type of manhood
Are they who work 10 livs.

Aud monarchs Of the soil
Who spans the earth with iron,
And rears the palace domeg
Who creates for the rich man,
The comforts of his home,
II is the patient toiler-
All honor TO him, then

Is in her workingmen
For many barren ages,
Earth hid her treasures deep;
And all her giant-forces

Then Labor's Anvil chorus
Broke on the startled air.
And 10 the Earth, in rapture,
Laid all her riches bare.
'Tis toll that over nature
Gives man his proud control;
And puriies and hallows
The temple of his soul
II scaiters foul diseases,
With all their ghastly train;
Puts iron in the muscle,
And crystal in the brain.
The Grand. Almicltv Buill r,
Who ,hionel cue en- ~,
Hath stamped his seal Of uouor
On Labor from her birth.
In every ange-flOwer
That blossoms from the sod,
Behold the master-touches--
The handwork of God.
Then, honor to our wOrkmen,
Our hardy sons OF toll
The heroes of the workshop,
And monarchs of the soil
