to bury him, and carried the BODY
back to the castle. They took with
them Bishop Juxon, who attended the
King on the scafold, to read the SER
vice over him now. But the governor
OF the castle, who was certain Col.
Whltchott, would not allow the
burial service. He told them that
the common prayer book had
been put down, and he would not suffer
1t to be used in that garrison when he
commanded. You will see from this
that persecution was not all on one
side, but that whoever was uppermost
In these violent times did his best to
crush his neighbor. You could not
fancy anything more heartless than the
Purltan's refusal to allow these heart
broken men to say holy prayers over
their kings and their friends grave
except, indeed, the refusal of that same
king to let these Puritans live along
with him In the native England which
had room for them ALL When the
faithful lords found it impossible to
change this decision, they went sadly
to St. Georges to find place to lay
him, but found the chapel SO bare, SO
naked, SO altered that it was only with
hard ado that they found vault in the
middle Of what had once been the
choir, where they could lay the King.
Here thy found little space for
King Charles, close by the great leaden
coffin where Henry VIII. lay peace
fully, unwilling who was coming. The
Duke of Richmond marked out rough
ly upon "a scarfe of lead" the letters
of his name and the date. Then, all in
silence, at three o'clock in the January
afternoon, when it was no more than
twilight in the cold and naked chapel,
they carried the coffin, then covered
with black pail, of which "the foure
lords carried the corners, with for
lorn attempt at state.
AS they came down the Castle hill to-
ward the chapel with their burden, it
began suddenly to snow, and the snow
fell SO thickly and fast that soon "the
black pail was all white" Was there
ever more mournful sight? In the
dim chapel that snow-covered coffin
would be the one spot Of wintry light
ness. "Ihe Bishop Of London stood
weeping by to tender that his service,
which might not be expected" Thus
they laid him in the dark vault to mol
der with the other royal bones, drop
ping the whiteness of the snow covered
pail Ian emblem, they said, of his inno-
cence) into the black gulf with him
not word said, not prayer except in
their hearts, the Puritan governor of
the Castle standing by to see his orders
executed. When all was over, he lock-
ed up the empty echoing chapel and
took the keys away. Windsor has seen
weeping and sorrow like every other old
house where men for generations have
lived and died, and more than most,
for in the old days offering and sorrow
We're apt to follow in the paths of kings;
but never has our venerable Castle seen
SO melancholy sight.
If the story of the Stuarts had been a
drama, a great tragedy such as Shakes
peare could have made, no doubt it
would have ended here.-Mrs. OZipha,at,

A CONDUCTOR on the Midland Raj
way at Jersey City noticed that the
ticket of certain " commuter" lasted
an unusual time, and though he
punched two holes in it daily the num-
Der of trips left did not perceptibly di-
minish. One morning he examined it
carefully and bent it. when several
pieces fell from former punch holes.
The gentleman had been in the habit
of picking up the pieces as they
dropped from the conductors punch
and restoring them carefully to their
places, SO that their restoration WAS not
noticeable except upon close inspec-
ton. The company does not propose
to sell the offender any more tickets
and has posted notice to that effect
in it's ticket Office.

SONG OF the TURTLE AND FlAMINGo.
BY JAMES T. FIELDS.

BY JAMES T. FIELDS.
A lively young turtle lived down by the
banks
o. dark-rolling stream called the lingo,
Aud one summer day as he went out to
play,
Fell in love with charming flamipgo-
An enormously genteel famingo! ~ i
Au extensively CRIMSON famingo !
A beautiful, bouncing famingo!
spake the turtle in tones like delicate
wheeze 81
Ito the water I've oft seen you go in,
And your form has impressed itself deep on
my shell, N" = 'sssNNsAAa.AF ~
You perfectly modelled f1amingo /! - -..e.9
You uncommonly brilliant famingo!
You tremendously Alone Aamingo!
You mex pres bic famingo!"
"Tc be sure I'm turtle, and you are a
belle, sss.l a. aara
And my language is not your fine lingo;
But smile on ME, tall one, and be my bright
You miraculous, wondrous famingo!
You blazingly beauteous flamingo!
You Understanding f1amingo
You infammably gorgeous hamiugo! !"
Then the proud bird blushed redder than
ever before,
And that was quite un-nec-cessd-ry. =
And she stood on one leg and looked out of
one eye,
The position of things for to vary a
This squatfca1, musing famingo
This dreamy, uncertain famingo
This embarrassing, harassing famingo
Then she cried. to the quadruped, greatly
amused:

And you're an illogical turtle-,-.>--s@.s.
A waddling, impossible turtle
A low-minded, grass eating turtle gag
A highly improbable turtle!"
Then the turtle sneaked off with his nose tt
the ground,
And never more looked at the lasses;
And falling asleep, while indulgirg hi
grief,
Was gobbled up whole by Agassz- -

"Not a dollar; I had just paid bill
for advertising, which pretty much
cleared me out" M
"HoW much ?"

gave a peculiar whistle to define the
length, breadth and depth of his as
constituent.
This conversation occurred IN the
store of Benjamin Weston, young
and enterprising merchant, who had
just commenced business on his own
account. The other person, who, to
use his own classic expression, was
bang up, and wanted fifty dollars to
make up the amount of note due
that day, was Joseph Weston, a cousin
Of the other. They had been play
mates inyouth and staunch friends In
maturity. Though there was a great
diversity of opinion on many topics, a
great sympathy existed between them.
They had commenced business about
the same time, and under nearly the
same circumstances, both being obliged
for want of sufficient capital, to mort
gage the stock of their respective stores.
Thus far they had done well, and the
prospect was that both would become
wealthy and distinguished merchants.
They had married sisters, and occu-
pied tenements in the same block.
Their dwellings were furnished in sub
stantially the same style, and no mate
rial difference of expenditure. Both
were trained to business habits, and ed
ucated Id the principles of a rigid econ

"Look at Brandeth and Swain"

"No matter for that; If these fellows
have both been able to make princely
fortunes by advertising humbugs, how
much more so will he who deals in sub

"All gammonw

Seriously, Ben, you will ruin your

NEW YORK TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN TWEEN
TY-FOUK HOURS.
The following analysis OF the time made by
the famous trans-contineutal fast train over
the Chicago 4 Northwestern Railway, between
Chicago and Omaha, plainly indicates that the
general average time made by this train, from
its starting point, suffered no shrinkage at the
hands Of the management OF the popular North
western; and it must be gratifying to every
true Chicagoan to find that they possess in the
above road G Western line over which equally
as fast time tan be safely made Is any. Of the
bousted fast time hitherto claimed by the
Eastern lines as III incident to the
superiority Of their roads over Western lines.
Time was when this claim could have been al
lowed, but now that the Chicago& Northwestern
Railway, with it's wcll-ballastcd roalbeds,
equipped with steel rails, and all modern ap-
plia1ces, can be compared favorably with any
model road in the East, there Is no longer
any reason for the Eastern lines claiming mo
nopoly in fast running. The condensed time
given below shows the leaving nn1 arriving time
Of this fast train at terminal stations, tho speed
per hour between stations, and the speed per
hour for tho distance run, over the Chicago j.
Northwestern Railway:
