The BE ~ and The Bces.

AS two young bears, in wanton mood.
Forth issuing from y neighbouring wood.
Came where the industrious bees had stor',
In artful cells their luscious hoard
Oerjoy'd they seiz'd, with eager haste,
Luxurious on the rich repast.
Alarm'd at this the little crew
About their ears vindictive few.
The beasts, unable to sustain
The unequal combat, quit the plain:
Half-blind with rage. and mad with pain,
Their native shelter they regain;
There sit, and now discreetcr grown,
Too late their rashness they bcmoan;
And this by dear experience gain,
That pleasures ever bought with pain.
So when the gilded bats of vice
Are placed before our longing eyes,
With greedy haste we snatch our fill,
And swallow down the latent i'll:
But when experience opes our eyes,
Away the f;sncied pleasure flies. .
1t flies, but oh! too late we fad,
1t leaves real sting behind. .a

Is THERE DIFFERENCE ?-One of the
most curious facts connected with English
religious life is shown forth whenever the
Court goes to Balmoral. No sooner
does her Majesty set foot in her High
land home than Presbyterianism pure
and simple becomes the fashionable creed
of those who surround her; and noble lords
and ladies. WHO, south Of the Tweed, would
as soon think of street singing for an
occupation as of going into any place of
worship not belonging to the Established
Church, attend the parish church at Crathie
as if they had been taught Calvanism and
the Westminster Confession of Faith from
their early childhood. Nay, not only do
Anglican laymen and women do thisI but
Church of England Clergyman, attached to
the royal household as tutor to Prince
Leopoid, is reported as one of the attend
ants to hear the Presbyterian preach at
Crathie on Sunday last. 1t may be all
right, but to us Catholics this anything
arianism has curious aspect. What do
our friends the Ritualists say to this? Do
thew approve of the temporal head of their
stbranchn showing such an example Is
there no Bishop on the bench stout enough
of purpose to reprove Royalty for becoming
n follower of John Knox whenever it gets
TO the North 2. Perhaps the true explana
tion lies in the fact that there is no essential
difference between Episcopal and Presby-
terian Protestantisn.-LoR Register. -,
