AN ALPHABET As AN ANALYzER OF
FATB.- Aenius with a trste for the
mystical and mctapey has discovered that
the letter NJ has played an important
part in the career Of the Bonapartes-t
first and the third. A similar research, if
one had time to pursue it. it might be
equally startling in showing the iuduende
of initial letters OF some of our own
political worthless. For instance there is

In an account of the late Con federate
General Lee, the New York correspond

affecting incident connected with gifted
English poet, now no more. The late

to be pfinted, his native modesty shrink

Ralph Moore was sitting in his poor
lodgings beside his ailing wife's sick bed
when liveried servant brought note
from the rich and prosperous bank director
Charles Audiey.
'Goad news, Bertha ? he exclaimed,

You have dropped something from the
note, Ralph said Mrs. Moore, pointing
to slip of paper on the floor.
Moore stopped to recover the estray.-

THE THREE CHAIRS.

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray haired dame and aged sire,
Dreaming of days gone bys
The tear drops fell on each wrinkled cheek.
They both had thoughts they could not speak,
And each heart uttered sigh
For their sad and fearful eyes described
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sitting-room walls.
Old. fashioned enough as there they stood,
Their seats of flag and their farmes of wood
With their backs SO straight an tall.
Then the sire 4hook his silvery head.
And with trembling voice he gently said
.'Mother, these empty chairs !
They bring us such sad, sad thoughts tonight,
Wen put them forever out of our sight
In the small, dark room up stairs"
But she answered "Father, not yet
For look at them, and forget
That the children were away,
The boys come hack, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on, of checkered blue,
And sit here every day.
s.Johny comes back from the pillows deep,
Willie wakes from his battlefield sleep,
To say goodnight to me,
Mary's wife and mother no more,
But tired child whose play-time is Ger
And to rest at my knee.
$50 let them stand there, though empty now
And every time when alone We bow
At the Partners throne to pray,
Well ask 10 meet the children above,
In our Savour's home of rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"

Etiquette in Burmah.

The Bishop of Calcutta recently visited
Burnah, and the India papers describe
be difficulties which prevented propos-
ed interview between the Bishop and the
King of Burmah. The latter insisted on
the Bishop squatting crosslegged before
him, small carpet being the only conces-
sion he would make. DR.. Milman asked
to be allowed to stand, but tho King was
firm; he could not allow any man either
to stand before him or to occupy seat
not lower than his, his majesty invariably
reclining on very low couch on these
occasions. The Bishop was likewise firm;
he declined to suffer the indignity of Sit
ting croslegged on bit of carpet; and, as
the chief Buddhist priest is allowed seat
on level with the Kings he urged that
similar courtesy might be shown to one
of corresponding rank, The result was
that the Bishop left Mandalay without
having met the King. altough both where
very DESTROYS that our interview should
take place.
This is simply saying, "Hail, Master!'
and betraying Him with a kiss.
