ORIGIN OF THE ENGLlsH "GUiNEA."
The guinea obtained its name from
the gold from which it was made,
having been brought from the GUM
ca coast by the African company Of
traders. The first notice ofthis gold
was in l6lO, during the Common
wealth Of England, when on the l4th
Of April of that year the parliament
referred to the council of state q pa
per presented to the house concern.
ing the coinage Of gold brought In a
ship lately come from gainy, for the
better advancing OF trade. But it
was in the reign Of Charles II. that
the name was first given to this coin.
It is among things not generally
known, that when the guinea was
originally coined, the intention was
to make it current as twenty shil-
ling piece, but from an error, or rath-
er a series Of errors, in calculating
the exact proportions Of the value OF
gold and silver, it never circulated
for that value. Sir Isaac Newton, in
his time, fixed the true value OF the
guinea, in relation to silver Mt 2Os.
Cd, and by his advice the crown pro.
claimed that for the future it should
be current at 2ls. A curious qnes
ton arises out Of the fact alluded to:
How many millions OF money has the
English public lost by the payment
Of 4 guinea when a twenty shilling
piece would have sufilced had tht
costly error never have been faller
into. sha ~ ai @

All elementary education is virtu.
ally compulsory. Children, as rule,
do not go willingly to school. Leave
them to themselves, let them please
themselves as to whether they go to
school Or not, and very few of them
would be found in schools. The
overwhelming majority OF schools
would soon be empty 1t children
coald absent themselves at pleasure.
The children 60 to school because
their parents compel them to do 30.
But some parents will not do their
duty. They neglect the education OF
their children because of vice, or ig
norance, or poverty, or selfishness.-
The State must lay its hands upon
such parents and compel them to 4,
their duty; for so longsas their duty
| is neglected society suffers and the
nation is damaged. Whatever pro-
visions the State may make for educa-
ton, there will always he very large
class OF uneducated children, and 8
still larger class Of impertectly cduca
to | children. so long as the State does
not require that all its children should
DO educated. No voluntary methods
will ever avail; we must either sub
init to the enormous evil of having |
large portion OF the population un
educated. or put stop to the cvi
Iby compulsory legislation.

The following is the letter of the
Pope to King William proposing
mediation:
Your MAJEsrY-:In the present
grave circumstances it may appear
an unusual thing to receive letter
from me: but, as the Vicar on Earth
of God and peace, cannot do less
than offer my mediation. 1t is my
desire to witness the cessation of
warlike preparations, and to stop the
evils, their inevitable consequences.
Ny mediation is that Of sovereign
whose small dominion excites no
jealousy, and who inspires con-
fidence by the moral and religious
influence he personifies. May God
lend an ear to my wishes, and
lsten also to thoee for.,A 60.

the touching words traced by your
hand. They cause the voice of God

my heart refuse to listen to SO power
