MARY QUEEN OF SCoTs.-The annals of the
world furnish affecting examples of the insta-
bility of human conditions. But the whole his
tory of mankind does not perhaps furnish a
greater, sadder reverse a more appalling con-
trast than Mary at sixteen and Mary at forty-fVe
At the former period, being upon whom ma
ture seemed to have showered her choicest gifts
the loveliest person, a fascinating mind-the
bride of the heir apparent to the crown of France
the heir apparent to the crown of England
the Queen of Scotland; with the whole of the
Catholic powers of Europe as her allies; one
with whom veteran statesman delighted to
converse, and in praise of whose charms the po-
cts of the age contended. At forty-fve, worn
by disease-her frame, though not her noble
spirit, broken by long, severe, and merciless
captivity-proclaimed as an adultress and a
murderess-forsaken by her friends, execrated
by her subjects, and disregarded even by her
only child-condemned after a mock trial, to
an ignominious death. She might exclaim, in
the words of the holy, 30, all ye that pass by
the way, attend and see if there be sorrow like
my sorrow.

Natures Noblemen.

Away with false fashion so calm and 80 chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please,
Away with cold breeding, that faithlessly still
Affects to be quite at its ease
For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank
The freest is first in the band
And natures own nobleman, friendly and frank,
Is a man with his heart in his hand.
Fearless in honesty, gentle, yet just,
He warmly can love and can hate,
Nor will he bow down with his face in the dust,
To fashions intolerant state;
For best in good breeding and highest in rank
Though loWly or poor in the land,
Is nature's own nobleman friendly and frank,
The man with his heart in his hand.
His fashion is passion, sincere and intense,
His impulses simple and and true,
Yet tempered by judgment, and taught by gooC
sense
And cordial with me and with you
For the finest in manners is highest in rank,
It is you, man or you, man who stand
Natures own nobleman, friendly and frank,
man with his heart in his hand.-TUPPER.

TIE LADY OF THE WHITE HoUsE.-It seems
lat the statement in some Of the newspapers,
that President johnson is a widower, turns out
to be a mistake. The Cincinnati Enquirer says;
ale has an exemplary and accomplished wife
living, to whom he is indebted for his education.
But as she is somewhat advanced in years, and
in feeble health, her daughter Mrs. Stoyer, will
preside over the White House. This lady's late
husband, Colonel StoVer, was killed on the 18th
of December, 1864, while at the head of his reg
iment, the Fourth Tennessee Volunteers, in the
battle of Nashville. President Johnsons son,
Charles, surgeon in the volunteer service, was
thrown from his horse in 1868, and killed. He
has now four children living, viz: Robert, Mrs.
Patterson, Mrs. Stover, and Andrew, Jr., the
latter bright lad, some twelve years of age"

Sunshine Comes TO-lIOrrow.
BY FRANK W. POTTER.

BY FRANK W. ROTTkhs
Here's q lasting truth to learn,
Ye that trouble borrow;
Though thy path be dark to-day,
Sunshine comes tomorrow
True, the skies Of Summer fade,
Die the Summer flowers
And stern Winter rudely brings
Dark and gloomy hours.
Yet the Spring shall come again
With all its kindly glanees,
And again the Summer bloom
AS the year advances.
Then the birds shall warble songs
In the sunny meadows;
Branches waving in the br eeze,
Cast on earth their shadows.
Soon the light of holy truth
Errors hand shall sever;
Meath its rays shall wrong grow right.
Peace descend forever.
Then this lesson wisely learn,
1t will heal your sorrow,
That however dark the day,
Sunshine comes tomorrow.

NUMBER 81.

INsTNcT.-The most remarkable instance of
preservation from death, the result of an uner-
ring and uncomfortable instinct, occurred in
this way. Napoleon was inordinately addicted
to the luxury of snuf-taking. On one occasion,
being suddenly called out Of Paris, he left the
sale daudience somewhat abruptly, forgetting
his favorite snuff-box which was lying on the
mantel-piece. Business of Importance detained
him at Fontainbleau for several days, and on
his return to the Tuilleries the first object that
attracted his attention was the forgotten snuff
box, which lay precisely in the same spot where
he had left it. He took it up, seemed to hesitate
little, and then turning to an aide-de-oamp,
who was standing few PAGES from him, re-
quested that officer to open the box alleging in
ability.to perform the act himself. The officer
complied with alacrity, and upon the lid flying
open he fell dead upon the floor. A subtle
poison known only to the most abstruse and
experienced chemist, had been introduced for
the purpose of destroying the life Of the Empe-
rOr, who escaped by the inhuman sacrifice Of
an innocent person. After that memorable &C.
casion, Napoleon was never known to carry
snuf-box again, but invariably used his vest
pocket as a depository for the pulyerized arti-
