CONSIDER THY WAYS.

1t will never do to think too highly of
yourself, or to imagine that you have
some special claim on the respect of men
because OF your ancestry The world
which loved your father because it had
good reason to, will instinctively, for a
time at least, lift its hat to your fathers
son, too; but unless you are the worthy
son of your father, it will soon learn to
stand in your presence covered, and
even defiant. Therefore do not look
down on people as though they were

were made from different kind of clay.

for poor men, while I am the coin that
kings use" The penny moved away to
the other end of the shelf, simply mur-
muring, "you cannot always tell what
destiny may have in store" After
while stingy miser came. bought the
gold coin, and buried it in the earth for
safe keeping. The penny was given to
poor man whose brother had Just been
sold as slave. He went to the Sultan
and pleaded with him for his brothers.

all he had if only his brother could be
saved. Your life and all that you

man drew the penny, the bright new
penny, forth. and answered, "That is

give you that and my life, and my graft

touched. He took the little coin and
said, "Your brother shall be saved, and

love which binds brother to brother"
So the proud gold coin was hidden in

it, but there it is as plain as could be

ENGLAND's RIeHTFUL KING.
IBoston Pilot.l


1t is curious fact, and one not gen.
orally known, that King Victor Eman-
uel was by strict law of succession, the
rightful King of England He was
descended in q direct line from Charles
the l. The youngest daughter of that
unhappy monarch, the Princess Hen.
rietta Maria, married CASTOR d'Orleans,
the brother of Louis XIV. She died,
leaving two daughters. The eldest be-
came Queen of Spain, and died child
less. The younger married the heir to
the House of Savoy, and was the an
cestress of the late King OF Italy. After
the revolution OF 1858, when the right
to succession to the British throne was
settled by act of Parliament, the House
Of Savoy was excluded on account Of the
Catholic religion professed by its mem
bers. The House Of Hanover. of which
Queen Victoria is representative. was
several removes further from the direct
succession, deriving, as it did, its claims
from James 1. through Queen Elizabeth
of Bohemia, and her daughter, the Elec-
tress Sophia. A striking commentary
on the consequences of human actions is
afforded BY this story of royal inherit
anoe. When Charles /. espoused q
Catholic Princess he could scarcely
have imagined that by this act he
was excluding his direct descendants
from the throne OF their fathers; and
still less could his Queen have foreseen
that any descendant of her favorite child,
so carefully trained by her in the tenets
of her own religion. would ever overthrow
temporal power OF the Pope, and be him.
