THE PRINCE OF WALEs.-We make the fol-
lowing extract from the New York Indepen-
dent about the future heir to the throne of
Great Britain:
"Does any one in England desire that the
Queen should abdicate? The West End trades
men, dressmakers and lackeys, perhaps but
surely no one else The Prince of Wales is not
person whose accession to the throne any ra-
tional and disinterested being can look forward
to without anxiety. He is fat, heavy, loutish
young man growing every day more and more
of the regular Brunswick mould and feature.
He is deeply in debt He is not over attentive
to his wife-the one memberof the family who
is really popular; he has low and vulgar tastes j
he has a tainted reputation. Scandal pursued
him from London to Paris from Paris to Berlin,
and back again. He delights in low wcOmic ac-
tors and still lower comic singers. When he
goes to the opera he soon falls asleep unless,
indeed, when Pauline Lacca is singiing-and
then he is all ears and eyes. Nobody worth
thinking of wants him for king. lie is a
) Prince Napoleon, without elOquence, without
genius, without democratic sentiments, without
, love of letters and art, without a grand I'M
perial face and just think what Prince Napo
; leon would be without all these rcdeeminl
merits No if the English people must have
a sovereign, let them hope that God may save
the Queen as long as possible. Whatever be-
? unhappy difficulties and faiings, seldom comes
better, and the better is iscertainly not in sigh
Just now.

Mr.. BEECHER ON EVIL DOERS Hundreds
of people went away from Plymouth Church
unable to get inside of the house Sunday even
ing week 'Abhor that which is evil was
Mr.. Beecher's text lie said that there was
growing tendency among church members and
others to allow wckednCss to grow and flourish
from a mistaken idea that every man should
attend to his own business. Others cOmpro-
missed with their c0nscicnccs until they became
Indifferent as to whether the guilty were
brought to justice or not New York has
nearly as many churches as dens OF intamy,
yet the pulpits Of that city allowed all kinds of
corruption to grow within its borders until it is
second only to Sodom and GOmorrah. Busi-
ness men who stand high in the church set ex-
amples before their clerks that ought to make
every honest man abhor them from the bottom
Of his heart, Ministers are supposed to be the
mouth piece Of God, yet they grow fat IN the
service Of the Devil by keeping silent when they
should lift up their voices and expose the
wickedness of corrupt men IN hlghpIaces.
Justice is bought and sold, or knocked down to
the highest bidder The very word Judge
stinks, and could some of these ministers OF So
called justice be placed under parental rule once
more, to have the scenes of their childhood
renewed, it would be blessing to them and to
their country. Were all the villainics of men
in high places brought to light, they would
include all the crimes known to Sing Sing and
Auburn 1t is time for some one to 9 thunder,
or society will be overwhelmed with the cor
ruption of its members. The foundations Ol
the Government are supported by votes
When these votes are bought and sold the Gov
ernment rests on quicksand. This is baC
enough but what shall we say when Legisla
lures are put into the market? The only dit
ference between New York and Albany is tina
the latter place is 100 miles further up the riy
er. The people must rise and show their alb
horrence of these wicked men. Until The
church and its members do this, we are at thu
mercy of swindlcrs and thieves. In his praye
Mr.. Beecher called on God to have mercy ol
the judges, and take them away.

A FABLE.-A young man once picked up
sovereign lying in the road. Ever afterwards,
as he walked along, he kept his eyes steadtast-
ly on the ground, in hopes Of finding another
And, in the course of long life, he picked up,
at different times, good amount of gold and
silver. But all these days. as he was looking
for them, he saw not that heaven was bright
above him, and nature beautiful around. He
never once allowed his eyes to look up from the
mud and filth in which he sought the treasure
and when he died rich old man, he only knew
this fair earth of ours as a dirty road to pick
up money as you walk along.
GENERATION AFTER GENERATION pass away,
and our movements go on with increasing
speed. A gentleman in New York short time
ago was stricken with apoplexy. He had son
in California, and daughter in Paris. In
less than fifteen days from she time he was Ia

roof comforted their father in his alfliction.

CLING CLOSE TO THE Rock, JOHNY.-A
long train of cars, fourteen or fifteen, were, a
few months since, passing over the Alleghanv
mountains, on their way eastward. They were
crowded with passengers. As the iron horse
snorted and rushed on, they began to feel that
it had begun to descend, and needed no power,
but the invisible power of gravitatiOn, to send
them down with terrific swifjness. just as the
passengers began to realize their rsituatiOn, they
came to a short curve, cut out of the sold rock
"a wall Of rock lying on each side. Suddenly
the stream whistle screamed as if in agony,
"put on the brakes put on the brakes =
Up passed the heavy brakes, but with no ap-
parent slackcning of the cars. Every window
! flew open, and every head that could be was
thrust out to see what the danger was, and
every one rose up in his place, fearing sudden
destruction What was the trouble?
| Just as the engine began to turn in the curve
the engineer saw little girl and her baby
| brother playing on the track. In moment the
cars would be on them the shrek Of the whistle
started the little girl, and every eye looking
over could see them. Close to the rail, in the
upright rock, was little niche, out OF which
a piece of rock, had been blasted. In an instan
the baby was thrust into this ninch, and a
the cars came laundering by, the passengers
holding their breath, heard the clear voice of th
little sister on the other side of the cars ring out
"Cling close to the rock, JOHNNY cling close t.
the rock !" And the little creature smugget
in and put his head as close to the corner of tn
rock as possible, while the heavy cars whirleC
past him. And many were the moist eyes tina
gazed, and many a silent thanksgiving went u
to heaven.
In few hours the cars stopped at station
where an old man and his son got off the train
He had come so far to part with his child, VIII

aged father was to turn back to his home. A

The following is going the rounds Of the papers. Mr. -
who has good poetry pleased at little met
ient which happened family h first Of the
kl gave vent his feelings IN the following interesting and
imaginative elusion entitled,
MY CHILD'S ORIGIN.
One night, old St. Peter slept,
He LETT the door OF Heaven agar,
When through little angel crrpt,
And came down with falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
Of morn approached, my blu>hing bride
Aw"kr from sweet and pleasant dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant hut this-T ask more
That when he leaves this world Of sin
Hen wing his way to that bright shore
And find the door of Heaven again
Whcrcupon fellow practical turn without any
Imagination and possessed the divine aatus has
tempted 10 destroy the illusion, as follows:
ST. PETERS REPLY.
Full eighteen hundred years
I've kept my dior securely tiled
There has no little angel straycd,
Nor been missing all the while.
did not sleep, as suppose,
Nor left the door ol Heaven ajar
Nor has a little angel left,
And gone down with al ng star.
G9 ask the blu>hinS bride and
If she don't frankly and say,
That when She found that angel babe,
She found it in the good old way!
God grant but this-I ask 0 more
That should your number still enlarge,
That you will not do as before,
And lay it to st. Peters charge!

TIE ADVANTAGES OF GROANS AND TEARS.
A French physician is out in long diSserta-
ton on the advantages of gronning and crying
in general aud especially during surgical Opc-
rations He contends that groaning and cry
ing are two grand operations by which Nature
allays anguish that those patients who give to
their natural feelings, more speedily recover
from accidents and operations than those who
suppose it unworthy a man to betray such
SYMPTOMS of a cowardice as either to grOan or
to cry. lie tells Of man who reduced his
pulse from one hundred anl twcnty-six to sixty
in the course of few hours, by giving full vent
to his emotions. If people are at all unhappy
about anything, let them go into their rooms
and comfort themselves with loud bOO-hoO,
and they will feel one hundred per cent better
afterward In accordance with the above, the
crying of children should not be to greatly dis
couraged. If it is Systematically repressed the
result may be St. Vitus's dance, epileptic hts,
or some other disease of the nervous system.
What is natural is nearly always useful and
nothing can be more natural than the crying OF
children when anything occurs to give them
either physical or mental pain. Probably
most persons have experienced the effect of tears
in relieving great sorrow. 1t is even curious
how the feelings are allayed by the free indul-
gence in groans and sighs. Then let parents
and friends show more indulgence to noisy
bursts of grief-on the part of children as well
as the older persons-and regard the eyes and
the mouth as satety-valves through which
Nature" discharges her surplus steam.

A FUNNY FIGHT-There was an American
ship at Panama not long ago, and the sailor
boys thought they would astonish the natives
in thceSay of cock fighting They had bald
eagle, which they transformed, by clipping Of
wings and ruthlessly pulling out Of tail, into a
rooster of the most ridiculous aspect lmagin-
able This nondescript animal was entered for
a fight. The gamecOcks have way, when first
placed in the ring, of crouching and pointing
at each other. Then they advance across the
intervening space, and meeting in the centre,
with heads erect and fury in every movement,
they fly at one another, each endeavoring to
drive his long steel spur into the head or breast
of his adversary. On this occasion the Panama
bird victor in many a we'll fought battle, began
his usual tactics, while his clumsy adversary
nestled quietly where he had been placed, and
paid no attention to him. Anticipating an easy
victory, the joyous gamecock now advanced
without ceremony, and, delivering one or two
small blows, somewhat damaged the acquiine
features of the foe whereat old Sleepy, without
taking the trouble to rise, quietly reached out Il
claw, caught the frisky warrior, and pulled off
his head This was unscientiGc, but conclusive.
