1t would be easy to comment at great length
on this order, and show first its thorough-going
intolerance. II dissenters from the State re-
1igion are to be permitted no means Of mani
testing their existence, and have only the poor
permission to meet IN their chapels, it is clear
that, SO far as the Government can secure it
without actual violence, they will drag on
feeble existence, and soon become altogether
extinct,
But there is a more serious aspect Of the
question, and that Is the material interests that
are thus injured. Our benevolent and generous
countrymen have prepared and are carrying On
at great expense considerable establishments,
both religious and educational, and great injury
Is done to their work by this forced silence.
Hcncelorwaru it will be altogether impossible
to make known the existence Of these estab-
lishmcnts, and thus their intention is almost, If
not altogether, defeated. In one case,-that Of
the chapel Of the Gale Legitauos,-in addition
to the signboards round the door Of the chapel,
the pastor had rented large space on q vacant
wall in the centre OF the city, aud this pcrma-
nent announcement, made at considerable ex-
.pense and maintained owing to q heavy stated
payment, Is rendered useless, and Of course the
owner will not take into consideration the order
OF the Governor and release Mr.. Jameson from
his contract.
Representations have been made to her Maj

A red wi'd~Iose were blooming on your grave,

And sombrely green willow branches wave,
With willing feet oft would stand above you,
And with sad eyes your moss"grown name spell
Thinking that once each raid to each, "1lov
In those far days before We dared to doubt.
But no, you are not dead; the world adores you,
Kneels at your feet, and calls Your face divine;
Knows not and cares not that you once wert

Edith, care not that your blood is flowing
In splendid radiant cheek OF dainty wrist;
That on your supple throat there still is glowing
Aqueenly coil OF pearl and amethyst;

Though On your face have dropped no mournes'i
And you and I, who were once maid and lover,
Are further sandered than the furthest spheres.

Than laugh at NE, once more, with all your might.

And I've been blue enough since last met you,

To let the world my pity see.

IS ORDERS ,, FOR WOMEN.

| The London Neaes says: "French women are
80 far less fortunate than their sisters In most
other Continental countries that there is no spe-
cial 'order' or sdecorations' for women In
France, aud 1t is a very rare thing for lady to
be awarded the red ribbon of the Legion OF
Honor. At the present time there are not more
than four or five ladies who possess this distinc
ttop, and one Of them Is an English woman,
Lady Pfgot, who tended the French wounded
during the late war. The ladies who care Tor
these outward and visible signs Of social dis
tinction must regret that they did not live 900
years ago. when, il they had been lucky enough

her court!ers, all her ingenuity in inventing,
from time to time, some new diversion.
It occurred to her one day that she

the order had to take the following oath: 4

anu false to my oath, may the honey become
gall in my mouth, the wax tallow, the flowers

The costume OF the order was coat in cloth Of
gold, spangled with silver bees, for the cheya-
ncrs; and the ladies wore robe Of green satin,
embroidered with silver bees, and a diadem Of
flies in emcralds. The institution Of the order
was great success, and the fctes in celebration
Of it lasted many days at the Chateau de Sceaux,
which was the residence Of the DUO and Ouch
