EXAMPLE.

The fragrance of the myrtle is not
in blossoms that open, glow for a lit
tie season, and then fade away; but
in tho evergreen. leaves. 1t is fra
grant all the year, yielding it's sweet
odors through winters rough blasts
as we'll as through the showers and
sunshine Of summer time. And the
more the leaves are tossed, the more
richly do they exhale their delicious
aroma; and when bruised they are
most fragrant Of all, ditfusing as they
arc crushed, the same delightful odors
as long as fragment Of leaf remains.
So the Christians example is un.
conscious and perpetual. His temper
is even, his patience unbroken, his
enjoymcnts unfailing, his grace like u
river, sparkling and singing evermore.
His is not the mere influence Of word,
OF promise, of sunny summer time.
There is no set time for show or gilt
ter, or display. There is no rehearsal
of piety for great occasions. There
are no programme scenes to be un-
rolled according te chronometer and
audience in the panorama of his life,
and accompanied by phrasely word
und tinkling music set to the exhibi-
ton. ~
The believers influence is like the
fragrance of the myrtle tree-an in.
separable sweetness Of lite, gracious
as it sis undying: and it breathes
through storms of adversely. and be-
revement as freely as in mornings Of
dewy Joy. And when most severely
tried, troubled and persecuted, then is
his example the most Christly in for:
bearanee and love, Like the myrtle
leaf bruised and torn, tho saint Of
Goe, in time of bis sorest afliction,
exhales the most heavenly spirit all
abroad, ias if the airs and blooms OF
Pasodise should yet make Eden Of

an Incredible number of letters from
all countries, and a great many appli-
! cations for audiences.
The Queen wears very fine and va
| rled toilets, On Sunday, at Saint
German PAuxerrois, she was dressed
in short but elegant brown silk
cloak, and on the day when she visit
ed her mother, she wore long robe
OF violette satin with white stars,
A great many visitors try TO gain
access to her, but, as a matter of
course, all Of them are not admitted
to her, Her porter has to open the
front door daily several hundred
times, and to answer questions such
as the following:
"Does the Queen of Spain 1.-Two
hcrc?"
Or;
"Is QHeen Isabella at home?"
At four o'clock the Queen leaves
her apartmc IT'S to make her daily
promenade at the Bois dc Boulogne.
sho rides out in hcr landcu, seated be-
tween the King consort and the
Prince Of Asturias.
The King is Of short stature and
rather obese, but very straight and
possessed of quito atfaLlo manners.
lie wears long moustouche, and is
ipclined slightly to the left his face
is mild rather than cffcminatc; his
attitude is more politely reserved and
modest than cold or affected. lie al
ways wears black dress suit and
gloves, and appears more like the
Queens cavalier than her husband.
Even in the middle of painting, his
face and form would attract little or
no attention.
The precacious emboupoint of the
Queen has been somewhat exaggera-
ted, and 1 gnd it does not lesson very
much her natural grace and majesty.
Aer type is that Of Bourbon-rcgu-
lar, but somewhat too heavy, When
sho dosceDds the broad staircase Of
the house, hanging on the King con-
sorts arm, the step is slow, almost
solemn, and her face serious, almost
stern. You look at her, sho is still
the Queen. Suddenly a broad, hon.
est smile brightens and lessons the
hard expressions of lrr features.
She has just perceived the Prince of
Asturias and is now nothing but q
mother. She caters the carriage, and
a few Spaniards-nearly all of them
belonging to the popular classes
have hastcned to her, greeting Ter.
barchcaded and in the most respect
full manner. Isabella bows to them
with visible emotion, and smiles
mournfully. Such are the thanks Of
the exile. Isabella's mobile and open
phpsiognomy renders very perfectly,
in these few minutes, this three-fold
air Of the Queen, the mother aud the
exile.
The Ptince of Asturias is a nice
coy, lively and sharp, though some
may say just tho reverse of him.
He wears a gray paletot, and hat and
necktie. He is ten years old. Happy
age which laughs at exile and the
other miscries Of life. Has he not
his toys, his armies of leaden soldiers,
and quite q people of wooden and
pastcb oard men. He teems to like
Paris, and believes, perhaps, that his
mother has made q pleasure trip TO
the capital of Franco:

IF We Knew.

If we knew the wo aud heartache
'Wafting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the wormwood,
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste the day in wishing
For time that ne'er can be2
Would We wait in such impatience
For our ships to coms from seat
II We knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff to-morrow-
Never trouble US again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our browG
Would the print of rosy fingers
fex us then as they DO nows
An, these little ice.cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
70 The hasty words and actions
Strewn along our back ward tracki
How those little hands remind u.,
AS in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns--but rosea-
For our reaping BY and by.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that We should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that Summer skies aud sunshine
Never seem one.half so fair,
AZ when Winters snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal of 81 ence
None hut God can roll away.
Never blossomed in such beauty
AS adorns the mouth to. day.:
And sweet words that freight our memor,
With their beautiful perfume.
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals Of the tomb.

CLOSING SERVICES OF CHRIST CHURCH
PARISH SCHOcL-Thc examinations and
final services of the Parish School connected
with old Christ Church took place this morn
ing. The children assembled at the usual
hour, but their clean faces and best dresses
intimatcd that something unusual was on the
tapcs; and the rather anxious looks OF the
teachers strengthened the probable evidence.
At the appointed hour, ten o'clock, the Rector
made his appearance, follOwcrcd by Messrs.
Stabcr, Lcalbcatcr and Fletcher, OF the YES
try. Very soon the vacant seats were shlIed
with visitors who showed great interest IN the
proceedings, and they must have iclt amply
rewarded when they heard the ready answers
of those, who had literally been gathered IN
from "thc high ways ard hedscs," on topics
that woull have "Aoorel" many Il brighter
scholar.
The exercises commenced by a part oil the
morning service, when the children responded
with hcarineSS well calculated to shame many
a christian congregation. This was followed
by an examination II the scholars, BY the
Sunerintendcnts on the Bible and Prayer book
The amount ol knowledge shown 10y the answers
given was Astonishing and some very remark
able instances of memory we're shown IN the
recital of The Gospel and Collects Tor he hrs
tan year At the conclusion OF this cxamna-
ton the whole schoo! sang the Gloria IN TX
cclsis 1t was earnestly rendered and the little
voices reminded enc OF other days when ;hc
King OF Glory was greeted by the children'
song, "llosana to the Son OF David.
A teacher then examined them in geography.
This embraced the whole world and every queS-
ton was answered. After singing Parting
LYNN lhcy were examined on History, an
cient and modern. This, with TIC Bible cXalul'
naton Was the most interesting feature ol tho
morning, and it was remarked that many {
student enters college with less knowledge OF
History and Geography than that possessed ny
the children O! Christ Church Parish School
This concluded the examinations. The Hector
then awarded the prizes for attendance, Nc
and concluded VIA a !cW remarks about The
progress Of the School during the past year
Referring to The incurred expenses, he said The
simple iact that they knew SO much about TIT
