ANsoN BURLINGAME AS A BoY.-"The
boy is father of the man" is one Of the
true proverbs. What boys are when at
school or at home, they are very likely
to be when they grow up to ripper years.
Mr.. Burlingame, our former minister to
China, who lately died lamented by all
who knew him, both in this country and
in foreign lands, was greatly loved as a
boy by his schoolmates. Gen Gibson.
of the United States army, gives the fol-
lowing recollections of him:
Anson was handsome, jolly and Iowa
BILE in childhood, as he was earnest, en-
ergetic and devoted in manhood. The
first ten years Of life generally determine
future character.
Anson Burlingame during these years
was poor boy, surrounded by Christ
ian influences, and guided by the spirit
Of father full of love toward God and
all men.
He was promising boy. Though a
little older than myself, we were asso-
ciated as children, sitting in the same
log school house, with its grease-soaked
paper for window lights, and upon the
same backless bench, to study the same
monosyllable. We romped and sported
in the shadow of the same forest, and
were "child-friends."
In recurring to those days I am un-
able to recall single act of meanness,
unkindness, or cruelty on the part of liz
tie Anson, Gentle, sweet and amiable
in disposition, he was favorite with the
little folks" .l.... s.ss,
Like myself, he was Sabbath School
scholar. In fact, we were generous RI
walls forscholastic and theological distinc.
tion. Then libraries were unknown in
Sabbath schools, and the memorizing Of
Scripture was the chief business of the
scholars. -
l well remember lively contest MAIN
tanned between Anson and myself for
weeks, and how 1 "threw up thesponge''
when one August Sabbath, he repeated
a whole chapter Of thirty.six verses,
when I reached only twenty-seven.
From that moment l entertained q
boyish dislike to his father, who was su-
perintendent, and who, by smiles and
words, appeared to glory in the victory
of his son. stf sees
Anson. in recent years, required with
interest to /" the days Of our childhood" !"
and he never failed to inquire after the
old pioneers who had visited his fathers
cabin in Ohio. ~1s 4.4
After leaving Seneca County, never
saw him again until I went to his law
Office, in the /" old" State House, in Bos-
ton, aud renewed the friendship Of child
hood. The generous, ambitious, kind
boy grew to noble manhood, and his
career of goodness and usefulness was
assured by infant training and early
Christian impressions. m

1t was the gentle politeness of genu-
inc Christian gentleman which led DR..
Richard Mansfield, the rector of the
Episcopal church in Derby, Conn, to
correct himself once as he was passing
group of the children of his flock. They
had grown SO fast since he last saw them
that he said: "Why my dear children,
you grow SO like weeds, that am scarce
ly able to recognizeyou." And then, as
if he had done wrong, he said: Par
don mel should have said, you have
grown so like flowers" It must be
pleasanter to a little child to be likened
to flower than to weed, and true po-
liteness thinks of such little things.

CATHERINE pARR.

CATHERINE PARR.
OF her Mr.. Fronde says little-dis-

Mr.. Tytler says she with difficulty
retained her hazardous elevation, but
had the good fortune to survive the ty.
rant.
Henry VIII died Jan. 2S, 1547, and,
we charitably hope, went to some blessed
world where women can be " dispensed
with" at least, where there is neither
marrying nor giving in marriage.
To another writer we are indebted for
little episode concerning Catherine
Parr. Almost Immediately after Hem
ry's death, SO soon as to occasion censure.
though considering the example he
had set her, one would think it need not
she was married to Sir Thomas Sew
mour, brother of Jane, Henry's third
wife. In less than year she died sud-
denly, and her husband was accused of
having poisoned her in order to marry
Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn.
Although, as might be expected, he de-
MED the crime, he did somew hat toward
confirming the suspicion by seeking the
hand of the princess-that hand which
afterwards half the potentates of Eu-
rope sought to possess, but in vain.
When the "Virgin Queen" died, little
more than half a century after her faith

Henry VIII. and his six wives on the
