The King of the Coral Islands.

His Caroline majesty was a well made
man of about6fty years fage. His raiment
was as simple as that worn by his embassa>
dors of the morning. As mark ofrOyalty,
however, he wore a strip of a cocaDut leaf,
two or three inches wide, split along the
middle, which, being put over head, rested
upon his shoulders. The upper part of his
body, especially his breast, was profusely
tatooed. He was very dignifed in manner,
not talking much, nor manifesting the great
curiosity which took possession of most fol-
lowers. Withal be was very fair specimen
of royalty in the crude state. He sat down
at once upon an offered deck chair, and
stretching out his legs, surveyed the assem>
oily with cooIness which quite took me by
surprise The kings house only differed
from the more common in being larger. The
floor was made of evenly spread gravel of
coral pebbles, convered with mats, for which
the fibre on the cocanut husk probably furn-
ished the material. About the house were
disposed many and various articles of use
or ornament Fish-hooks Of shell and wood
nets, mats, and calabashes, grass, ropes, fish
lines, twine and cordage, generally were
abundant. On his Majesty's 'Whatnop was
an empty sardine box and glass bottle
marked 'Batty and Company'S best pickles.
But we saw no clubs, nor arrows nor weap-
ons of any kind, excepting two or three old
hatchets and sheath knives, evidently OBJ
tanned from some visitors like ourselves.
On one of these posts l saw rude figure
carved, which had the appearance of being
an object of worship. Presently, some lads
came in, bringing some young cOcanuts and
a string of small fish. The latter, by active
wriggling and squirmirg gave sufficient
evidence of having been freshly caught.
These we're spread before the company, and
we were invited to the repast. A draught
of the cocanut was luxury not to be des-
pised but the feast of raw fish was politely
declined. Our backwardness, however, was
not shared BY our hosts and the sight of
the party as they sat on the ground, each
with piece of cocanut in one hand, and a
nice little fish held by the tail in the oPPOs-
ite hand, taking first mouthful of one and
then of the other, was something long to be

A PRAYER FOR ALL.

God of the mountain, God of the storm,
God of the flowers, God of the worm
Hear us and bless us,
Forgive u.s. redress us
Breathe on our spirits Thy love and Thy healing,
Teach us content with Thy fatherly dealing;
Teach us to love Thee,
To love one another, brother his brother,
And make us all free
Free from the shackles of ancient tradition,
Free from the censure of man for bis neghbor;
Help us each one to fulfill his true mission,
And show us It's manly, It's GodlIke to labor.
God of the darkness, God of the sun,
God Of the beautiful, God of each one
ClOthe US and feed us,
Hume us and lead us
Show US that avaricc holds us in thrall-
That the hand is all Thine, and Thou givest to all
Scatter our blindness;
Help US do right all the day and the night
To love and mercy and kindness
Aid US to conquer mistakes of the past;
Show US our future, to cheer us and arm us,
The upper, the better, the mansions Thou hast,
And God OF the grave that the grave cannot
harm US.

The Potency of Pr,t,In.e..

Another widow lady has been press;no
her claims before Congress, and has also
been successful. Her name is Martha M

uel j. Jones, her late husband, who obtain,
ed patent some years ago, for an improve

desires to have extended. She is possessed

her own case to the House Committee on
Patents, and the bill she was interested in

Tor when the vote came to be taken he was

Wiley 'twitted' his fellow Senators for be-

son frankly admitted that he islt a great
admiration for the lady. The most anus
ing part of the debate was Senator Wiley's
effort to prove inconsistency upon the lady
in her statements before the Patent Commit
tee, of which Wiley is a member.
In her written statement she set forth that
her beloved husband, Samuel j. Jones was
deeply distressed in mind one night and
could not sleep. About midnight he jumps
ed up, exclaiming; Martha, have it I've
got it., meaning he had solved the problem
of his invention. She begged him 10 come
to bed, but he walked the floor all night, and
in the morning he made practical lest of
his invention, which succeeded even beyond
his expectations. This was all very pretty,
there was a material discrepancy in the
statement, inasmuch as the Samuel j. Jones
aforesaid had applied for and obtained pat.
ent in England for the same invention two
years before this affecting incident occurred
1t was no use talking, however, against the
appeals Of a good looking and interesting
widow, so the worthy Senator had all the
opposition himself, and came off 'second
