Every B0dy's Canoe.

"Try to please every body and you will
please nobody" is well-known truth, and
brings to mind the following story: A
man in forest was building a canoe,
along came traveller, and told him ha
was shaping the bow altogether wrong,
and advised him how to fix it. The man
changed it and the traveller passed on.
Presently along came another traveller,
and, stopping to watch progress suggest
ed some other improvements, which the
man made. Not long after, third came
and also -tende his advice, which was
accepted. The man having finished the
canoe after the wishes Of the travellers,
suspended it from a tree and commenced
to make another after his own ideas; so
when the fourth traveller came along and
asked him why he did this and that, the
man looked up quietly, and said, See
here, stranger this is my canoe; there's
every body's canoe up in that tree."'

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT..
The President of the United States
having designated Thursday, the goth
day OF November, inst, as day of ma
tional thanksgiving and praise, recon-
mend the people of this State on the
day so named to cease from their secular
pursuits and unite in fcrvent manifesto
tions of gratitude to Almighty God Tor
the numberless blessings vouchsafed US.
Let us thankfully recognize the present
as year of exceptional blessings. Let us
be profoundly grateful for the moderation
and wisdom which determined an exigent
choice for Chief Magistrate in porten-
tious national crisis. Let US be glad for
the growth of that sentiment of fraternal
concord through which all the States of
this rescued Union are this year enabled
to dwell together in peace as one people.
Let us rejoice in that highest capacity
for sclf-government which was this year
evidenced by the maintenance OF public
order in period OF great popular distress
and discomfort.
Let us thank God for the gladdening
beauty Of the season-for a tavoripg seed
time, a quickening and radiant midsum-
mer, and the golden bounties of an unpar-
alleled harvest. Let us devout'y thank Him
for the abounding JOY in our hearts, for
peace and plenty in our homes and for
the measureless content with which our
lives are crowned and in especial manner
let our glad hearts swell with praise and
gratitude to the interposing Father of
mercies for our signal deliverance from
that dire locust scourge which for sue
cessive years laid waste portion of our
State as with a bosom of destruction.
Let our joy in the general abundance
seek gracious expression by timely re-
membrance Of those who are yet in need.
Let us gladly acknowledge our continued
enjoyment of health: peace and order and
our exemption from unusual disaster by
land and sea-let us be mindful of the
ample privileges and opportunities which
our free institutions afford, and, after q
period of: salutary adversity let US be
thankful if, with returning prosperity we
may happil y discern evidences that our
errors are corrected and our trangressions
forgotten.

A Child Queen.

st. Nicholas.
I am sure that you will like the story
| am about to tell you, Of a little French
Princess, who was married and crowned
Queen of England when only years old,
and who became a widow at 12.
This child-sovereign was born many
hundred years ago-in 1887 at the Palace
of the Louvre in Paris, of whose noble
picture-gallery I am sure you have all
heard, if, indeed, many of you have not
seen it yourselves. She was the daughter
of the poor King Charles VI, whose mis-
fortunes made him insane, and for whose
amusement playing-cards were invented, |,
and Of his Queen, Isabeau of Bavaria, a
beautiful but very wicked woman. Lit
tie Princess Isabella was the eldest of
twelve children. She inherited her
mothers beauty, and was petted by her
parents and the entire Court of France.
King Richard II. of England, who was
a widower about 80 years old, was urged
to marry again; and, instead of select
ing a wife near his own age, his choice
fell upon little Princes Isabella.
"She is much too young,"he was told
Even in five or six years she will not be
old enough to be married." The King,
however, thought this objection toe
triaing to stand in the way of his mar
riage, and saying, "The lady's age is q
fault that every day will remedy" he
sent magnificent embassy to the Court
of France, headed by the Archbishop o1
Dublin, and consisting of Earls, Mar.
shals, Knights, and Squires of Honor un.
counted, with attendants to the number
of 500.
When the Embassy reached Paris, and
the offer of marriage had been formally
accepted, the Archbishop and the Earl:
asked to see the little Princess who was
so soon to become their Queen. At first
the French Council refused, saying s<
young a child was not prepared to appear
on public occasions, and they could moi
tell how she might behave. The English
noblemen were so solicitous, however
that at last she was brought before them
The Earl Marshal immediately knelt be-
fore her, and said, in the old-fashione6
language of the time: s:Madam. if il
please God, you shall be our Lady an6
Queen" :.~
Queen Isabella stood at little dis
tance: curious and anxious, no doubt, Il
know how her little daughter would an

cord an average of five hundred visitors

chiefly by women, at least sufficiently
educated to know better-these are al
most amusing, after all that has been
seen before. A forged betting ticket,
which got the forger in trouble at tile
Nottingham races, is curious and in
genious example of perverted cleverness
The forged ticket is identified with the
real one, to all appearance. On very
close inspection, one sees that it is better
printed than the genuine article. A large
assortment of burglars tools is not the
least suggestive object here"
