Her Majesty, absorbed by solicitude
for the health of Prince Albert, had
beard little or nothing of the Trent af-
fair, and was startled and shocked at
the idea of war with America Not
liking the preemptory language and
defiant spirit of the dispatch, the Queen
took it to the apartment Of the Prince
Consort, who used his pen for the last
time in modifying and softening the
tone of that dispatch. When. on my
return from England I informed Pres
ident Lincoln and Mr.. Seward of this

this had rendered it easier for our
Government to discharge its part Of a

Keep Your Promise.

A boy borrowed a tool from a carpen
ter, promising to return it at night. Be
fore evening be was sent away on an
errand, and did not return until late.
Before he went, he was told that his
brother should see the article returned
After he had come home and gone to
bed, he inquired, and found that the tool
had not been sent to its owner. He was
much distressed to think his promise
had not been kept, but was persuaded to
sleep, and rise early and carry it home
In the morning.
By daylight he was up, and now here
was the tool to be found. After long
and fruitless search, he set Oft for his
neighbors in great distress, to acknowl-
edge his fault But how great was his
surprise to find the tool on his neighbor S
door stone! And then it appeared from
the print of his little bare feet in the
mud, that the lad had got up in his sleep
and carried the tool home, and gone to
bed again without knowing it.
OF course boy who was prompt in his
sleep was prompt when awake. He lived
respected and had the confidence of his
neighbors, and was placed in MANY
offices of trust and profit.
If all the grown folk felt as this boy
did, there would be good many tracks
of bare feet found some of these bright
mornings; and what piles of tools and
books would be found lying at then
owners door!

An Autumn Picture.

Lettering in bosky by-ways, in the autumn's
golden prime,
When the drowsy voice of nature with my
spirit sings in time,
Let me paint the glowing pictures that unfold
every hand,
And, with brightest colOrS gaInlShed. make an
Eden of the land.
Here I see a stately maple, clothed in robes
would deck queen,
Ali the coIors of the rainbow blending in its
perfect sheen;
Gle zen and purple, gold and scarlet, palest pink
and tintS of blue,
And through all a rift of sunshine, making
brighter each bright hue.
There the fragrant pines swaying to the
breeze we scarcely feel,
Shaking down their amber needles as the
zephyrs through them steal,
Till carpet, soft as llton, covers all the Drown
earth DER.
tai river run,
I can see the silver birches turn their bright
As if drinking in the blessings which these In
dian summer days
Drop like tender DenedlctlOnS from their DanKS
of purple haze.
And l see the graceful willows, green as when,
They had shed their sillken tassels in a shower
of golden spray,
And put on their gayer garments which they
don to meet young June,
When she ushers in the summer with the warm
earth all in tune.
And their thousand forms of beauty are reflect
ed in the tide,
Reaching out to grasp the shadows that within
its mirror hide;
While the SunbeamS, as if weary, lie upon the
rivers breast,
Where the ripples gently rock them as they
sink to their sweet rest.
Over all, the azure ether of perfect autumn
Family fiecked with feecy cloudlets that are
floating slowly by,
And sense that ali these glories are but types
to crown our days,
When lifes golden Indian summer wraps us IN
its dreamy haze. II. R. Ben7aet.
