/" The Boys Nest. "

Several years ago, a farmer in the State
Of New York sent his son Rollin to drag
a newly plowed field He was to drive a
Young OK team, and the father in quito n
pompous manner said, " Now, boy, to
drive this team you must he man to day
and keep out of all boyish scrapes, then
you'll get along well enough. Now re-
member no boys play with this team. y
Rollin said he would do as well as he
could. and started for work After the
farmer had looked to other matter on the
farm. and assured himself that all was
moving along properly, he started for
the field to look after Rollin and the
team. Now Rollin had done well, and
everything had gone along nicely until
just as the farmer reached the corner Of
the field, when the drag caught in an old
stump, tearing part of it Off, and bring
ing out an active nest of yellow jackets
When the farmer came in sight, what was
his astonishment. and veXation, to see
the oxen kicking, and jumping, and
punging ahead, and Rollin apparently
initiating their movements Here, boy,

N. Thters on Monarchy.

The Paris Figaro in a recent impression
gave formal and solemn notice of its inten-
ton to publish in its next number document
from the pen Of NJ. Theirs, which would prove
to the world how inconsistent with himself
is the present opposition Of that veteran
statesman to monarchy. The promise has
been duly kept, and it appears that damna-
tory evidence is obtained from a pamphlet
Published in 1881, entitled la Nonqrchie de
1890. All copies of the pamphlet, says the
Figaro, have completely disappeared, save
one preserved in the RjJiiohegue in the Rue
de Richelieu. In it the writer, who the
FIgaro says was NJ. Theirs, vindicatcs the
revolution Of 1890, and ju,lities the estab-
lishment Of the Orleans Monarchy. The
following passage is quoted by the Lcgitimist
organ as a reply OF NJ. Theirs By anticipation
to his recent letter to the Marie of Nancy
"This new Monarchy, it is said, is founded
upon the allegation of the popular sovcr-
eignty-Ought it not to receive the sanction
of that soveregntyo 1t is continually stated
that the Monarchy Of Louis Philippe wants

it is said, ''On the basis Of the popular SOW

There Is hardly subject which Is more
at variance with the whole spirit Of our in

the protestant population Of the United States
is more decidedly opposed than taxing the
