conciseness, reliability, compactness, and di-

The Labor Reformers in New Hamp-

that they played lest spring. But their

obliged to relinquish the sceptre before
long. She is affected with an hereditary
malady that impairs her mental sanity The
present heir to the throne, Albert Victor,
will not be eight years old until January
Sth, 1872. In case the Queen becomes
incompetent to discharge the duties OF
Sovereign, as it is feared she may ut no
distant day, a regent must be appointed
to act the part of king until the young
prince arrives at his majority. The ques-
ton of regency is one of peculiar diff
culties, always dreaded by the people and
the government. During the time OF
George the Third it kept the kingdom agi-
tated from 1888 to 1871, the king being in
the same state mentally as Victoria is sup
posed to be. The conditions of regency
are better established now than they then
were, consequent upon the steps then and
since found necessary to be taken. The
regency act of 1911, with the additional
act of 1910, may be considered to have
settled the main principles, but there are
difficulties connected with the subject
which no law or precedent can settle. 1t
makes break in the established order of
things which is favorable to faction and
insubordination The selection of a re-
gent will necessarily create disatlection
and after he is settled he is regarded |
somewhat as an interloper, rather than
the legitimate depository of the power in
trusted to him. The Duke of Cambridge |
appears to be regarded as the probable
regent if one is appointed.
Besides the usual and unavoidable en-
barassments of a regency, is the eifer-
vescent state of society and politics pre-
vaiing in England at this time. The
masses of the people are dissatisfied and
uneasy. The doctrines of the l1terna-
tionale are abroad. Communists are
among the population. The questions OF
labor and wages, of the rights and wrongs
of the poor and the abuses inflicted by
the government and aristocraey. are agi-
tated. The late speech of Sir Charles
Dixie, attacking royalty and demanding
reform and gradual abolition of monarchy
and the introduction of repubicanism Is
ominous at this juncture Of affairs. AT
anv time it would be considered danger
Gus, almost reasonable, for man occu
pying the position OF Sir Charles to speak
of monarchy, to say that |
republicanism in America will outliye |
and ought TO outline monarchy in Eng
land, but when the kingdom is about to
be left without head and be ruled by
proxy, there is double cause TO hold such |
language dangerous and to be really |
alarmed for the future of the country. 1t |
will not be surprising if within the next
ten years the British monarchy is put to a
severe test, and the nerve, Judgment and
patriotism of the people tried to the ut
most; nor is it among the impossible
things or even the improbabilities that the
young Prince never becomes the king of
England though life and health be given
him.

PRINCE OF WALES

The death of the Prince of Wales occa-
sions little feeling of sorrow oyer the
Kingdom, except what is caused by its
political effect. The Prince was born
NOV. 3, 1871, and is therefore thirty years
of age. His course of life was not such
as to entitle him to the respect of his peo
pie. He spent his time in dissipation,
brought the kingly estate into disrepute
by his immortality and debauchery, and
set an example that encouraged profliga-
cy, lewdness. and disregard of the mar
rage obligations.
Such at least is the general and accept
ed report Of his character. Although
there have been some faint denials, the
evidence is against the Prince. With
these serious defects of character there
were mingled no qualities of head or
heart to win esteem. His abilities were
small, his faults such AS allowed no prom
Use Of redemption in maturer years. No
hopes were raised that he would become
either great or good king. The most
expected of him was that he would weal
the title III good natured inefliciency while
the responsible task of governing was
performed by others. His sickness came
on after hunting trip in the North. lIi'
disease, which was typhoid fever, found s
ready and easy victim through his abused
and weakened constitution. Still he wa,
in the line of kings, and the nation mus
mourn the fall of its nominal head, ever
though it despises the follies and vices
that stain his life. If an instance were
worthy to show that rank does not maxi
the man, or even hide the meanness o
his character, the Prince OF Wales woul'
supply It.
But while there will be little grief a
the death OF the Prince on account of hi
personal qualities, his demise will be 1
source of anxiety and embarrassment t.

The men and women of Maine, who practice to.

ton at GRANITE HALL. AUGUSTA, WEDNES-

upon the best measures to promote the cause OF
Temperance in the State.
While this convention lie not called in the inter
ests of any political party or religious creed, the
fact is patent that there is great dissatisfaction
among the old long-tried and leading friends of
Temperance in the State, with the present aspect
of the cause, and especially that those whose duty
it is to enforce the Pruhibtory Law should fail 10
do so. II is also the conviction that some neees-
sary changes should be made in the law, and that
measures should be taken to secure its more gen
eral and impartial enforcement.

may be expected,

BE BRAvE.--Young men, be
brave! Many people imagine
that courage is confined to the
field of battle. There could be
no greater mistake. Even con-
tentions with men-unavoida-
bic contentions-are net by
any means limited to pub
lie battlefelds. And there are
other struggles, in private life
struggles with adverse cir
cumstances--strnggles, it may
be, with habits or appetites or
passions-all of which require
as much of courage, and more
of perseverance,, than the brief,
exciting encounter of battle.
Enough to struggle against,
enough to contend with.
enough to overcome, lies in
the way of every young man.
1t may be one kind Of difficult
ty, or it may be another; but
plenty of difficulty of some
kind, every young man starting
in life may be sure that he will
find. And the essential thing
about it to him is, whether he
will have the courage to look
all difficulty resolutely in the
face, to meet it bravely, and
to persevere until he conquers
it; in other words, whether he
will be a coward and succumb,
or what the Indians SO signifi-
cantly term "a brave" He
who never falters, no matter
how adverse the circumstances
always enjoys within himself
the consciousness of a perpetu-
AL. spiritual triumph, of which
r nothing can deprive him.-lN.

Personal Religion in Relation
to Business Life.

The amDltlOn OF many Iatn-
ers to save their children the
ten thousand cares and difficult
ties of the business world by
endowing them at one-and-
twenty with a competency is
affectionately cruel, and inva-
riabiy results in demoraliza-
ton and idleness. The old
Jewish custom Of giving every
man a trade Of some kind or
other is in every way wiser and
better.
/ hold it that every man has
a calling to some work OF other
Ia divine calling which is the
voice of power, partly eoncious
and partly latent. By obeying
this call a man is to minister to
the body polite in matters
physical, social or intellectual,
and by this ministry his own
physical, social and intellectu-
al needs are to be met. Every
!. Christian man has two calling,
which are, however. really one.
He has the lower calling, to
which we have referred, and
he has a high calling of Sod in
Christ Jesus, i'll virtue OF which
he is to take part in the minis
try of goodness. But these
twain are one. The high call
ing does not alter the form o
the lower; it only gives it
new spirit. Ifa man is called
4 to make boots, when ne be
comes a Christian Christianit,
does not say to him: You mus
give up boot-making. No,
Il
simply says: You must nov
make the very best boots pos
sible, and it is at your peril t
make bad boots. This callin
b of yours is capable of great g
