\ Paris Journal tells the story Of a beggar
who presented himself regularly at a eertain
coffee house with clarinet under his arm.
"Will YOU allow me, gentlemen, said he in
an humble tone of voice, TO play tune |
am only an amateur, and ifycu prefer giving
me few cOppers | will spare you the annoy
ance of listening to me-" Every one felt at
once for few stray coppers. and the musi-
clan departed with profound obeisance.
This he repeated several evenings in success
sion. At last, one evening, young man
who had never failed to contribute to the
wants of the itinerant musician, asked him
in a friendly manner to give them a time
let il he good or bad, he wanted to hear
him. but am afraid, sir, shall disap-
point you.'' .sNeyer mind that-give us a
tune "But / am very poor player, and
have very poor instrument" ''No mat
ter for that want to hear you well
sir. since YOU insist upon it, said the poo
man, Il will tell you that don't play at all

QUEEN VICTORIA AND THE American RE
eELIIoN During the rebellion, the late DR..
Henry Holland was among the comparative
ly few distinguished Englishmen, who not
only sympathized with the North, but who
rendered good services to our government.
But for the high sense he entertained of the
obligations Of professional reticence | should
have long since been permitted to reveal a
conversation between the Queen and her
nhysician that would have occasioned CRATE
fni' and enduring regard for her majesty in
the hearts of all patriotic Americans. On
at least two occasions, when the danger OF
becoming involved in more than one war was
imminent. the in;erposition of the Queen OF
England was timely, enlightened, and effect
i've. One seal of confidence has been pro
yidentially broken, and | hope. ere long. to
find myself at liberty to make full dis
closure of facts which will prove that while
the masses of the English people, including
the humber as well as the higher classes
sympathized with the rebellion, the Queer

REMARKS OF Mr.. WILLIAMS.

The State Justly exercises the authority to
say that schools shall be maintained. how
many and of what character. IL may de-
eide what shall be taught its future citizen.
The State may Justly prescribe what shall
he the qualifications of teachers The State
may require her schools to be just what she
pleases to have them. and may impose COM
pulsory education upon her children that
they may be fitted to execute the duties
hereafter to devolve upon them. Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and several other
/ States have adopted compulsory education.

next speaker.
This question O. the mutual relation oi
the school and the state Is one destined To
occupy very prominent position IN onr
legislative councils. There are those who
advocate that there should be no connec-
tion between school ard state. and if Yer
ment does not take care of her public
schools they will be destroyed. The State
has the right to say that her people shall be
educated. We flatter ourselves that the
people of Vermont are n well educated peo-
Die, and - they are in comparison with the
people of some other lands, but there are
IL coo people in this State, over ten years o:
agc. " bo can neither read nor write. Our
legislature should be educated men and IA
common school education Is not sufficient
Tor thost who make the laws for state.
There is remarkable connection be-
tween ignorance and crime. large por-
tion Of the inmates Of our prisons are illit
crate persons. 1t is cheaper to build school
houses than prisons.
Our school teachers, many of them, are
poorly qualified for the position they seek
TO fill. They are no more fitted, by their
mental acquisitions, to enter a school house
as teachers, than they are to fill the chair ol
college professor.
The speaker believed in a compulsory law
and more stringent one than the State
now has. There are parents-as widows
who are not able to compel their children
to attend school, and the strong arm OF the
State should be employed. An uneducated

THE NEW EPISCOPAL
CHURCH.
Cordial approval and sympathy
from Eminent Churchmem.

NEW York. january 3.-The regular
services of the reformed Episcopal
Church Will begin Tomorrow, when
Bishop Cummings will preach. Blsh
Op Cummings says: The Reformed
Episcopal Church is founded OF prin-
ciples for which low churchmen have
been contending, and about the validity
of its orders there can be no question
1t would be premature TO give names
of weli-knOwn laymen and clersymen
i'm this city who may be expected To
give in their adhesion to the new
church, but there is abundant proof
that the spirit of considerable o ton
of the Protestant Epis copal Oh, rch i'll
New York is ripe for this departure.
The secession OF the Rev. DIR. Goddard,
rector of one OF the largest and most
important churches on Staten Island
is II good sign. Numerous offers from
clergYmen Of other denominations, eX-
pressing their readiness to take part
OF the work. have been received. Pre- s.
bytrrian, Methodist and Baptist minis
tiers have expressed Il desire to take
charge of uew organizations i'll this
movement. From men of note in
other CT stan bodies there have been
suggestions looking toward probab e
or pussible union between the new
church and portions of such Christian
bodies. A prominent Doctor of Divin-
ity among the New England Baptis;s
and the editor of an important re-
ligous journal in Baltimore are among
those who have written fav0ring such
a step. One of the fO' enInst of the
Methodist preachers in Illinois. the
president of IL college Their, has given
ntterance 20 the cordial approval q!
and unreserved sympathy with tile
movement
