A VERY EQUITABLE Widow. Some hun
dred years later we find Sir John Salisbury,
of ilcwcnny Hall, marrying ward Of Queen
Elizabeth ;, Katherine of Berayne then only
fourteen years old. She was an heiress and q
descendant in the fifth generation from Owen
Tudor and the Princess katherine Of France
On Sir John ; DEATH in 1867, his widow fol

was escorted 10y Sir Richard Clough, the owner
OF the property in the neighborhOod, formerly
in the service of Sir Thomas Gresham, and at
that time very eminent merchant In re-
turning home from the burial she was attended

rs Wynn. lie, pcrceiving the widow to be
not very inconsolable, and fired by her charms,
protlted by the opportunity to whisper tale
OF love into her ears, and finally asked her to
be his wife. She, by no means startled at this
Oddly-timed proposal, civilly declined his offer,
saying that she accepted similar one from
Clough on her way to church; but, probably
observing young Wynn to be much cast down
at her refusal, and being large hearted, com
panlOnable woman, she sought to console the
rejected lover by the assurance that ii she sur
vlvcd ClOugh, Wynn should be her third hus-
band. This promise she duly kept when, three
years later, she was q second time widow.
Again, third time did she outlive her hus-
band, and fourth time became wife, mar
rylng Mr. Edward Thalwall, also a Denbig-
Shire man. This husband survived her. So
numerous and influential were the descendants
of this Katherine Of Beraync. that she was

Going Up and Coming Down.

There is a simple song, tbs true,
And songs like these are never nice,
And yet We II try and scatter through
A pinch or two of good advice.
Then listen, pOmpous friend, and learn
Never to boast Of much renOwn,
For fortunes wheel is on the turn,
And some 60 up and some come down.
We know vast amount of stocks
A vast amount of pride insures
But fate has picked 80 many locks,
We wOuldn like 10 warrant yours.
Remember then, and never spurn
The one whose hand is hard and brown;
For he is likely to 90 up,
And you are likely to come down.
Another thing you will agree,
(The truth may be as we'll confessed
The Goldfish Aristocracy"
Il but scaly thing at best.
And though the fishes large and strong,
May seek the little ones to drown,
Yet fishes all, both great and small,
Are going up and coming down.
Our lives are full of chance and change,
And chance you know il never sure;
And twere doctrine new and strange
That places high are most secure.
As though the tickle god may smile,
And WELD the sceptre and the crown,
'Tis only for little while
The b goes up and A comes down.
The world for you and me, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds and pence
Then let me humbly recommend
A little use of common sense;
Thus lay all pride Of place aside,
And have a care on whom you frown,
For fear you'll see him going up,
When you are coming down.

- The Oldest church now existing in
this country is one near Smithfeld, Isle
of Wight county, Virginia. 1t was built
in the reign of Charles l., between the
years 1880 and 1886. The brick and
lime and timber were imported from Eng
land. The timber is English oak, and
was framed in England. The structure
is of brick, erected in the most substan-
tial manner. The mortar has become SO
hardened that it win strike fire in collision
with steel.
