A SAVAGE QUEENS DEVOTION.

The palace of the native Queen OF the
Marc uesas group of islands in the Psci.
fc has lately been visited by oorrs-
spondent of the Louisville Courier
journal. who writes Of the place: Alto
gether it is charming retreat. Saupter-
ing up the street, the Queens house was
pointed out to me, and I concluded to
call on Her Majesty. The house ia built
of sawed timber, and is large and airy,
set upon the usual pal-pal, an elevated
piece of stone-work, about three feet
high, and solid as stone can make it,
with rough-hewn stone steps leading to
the doorway. The Queen was not in,
but I was informed that she could be
found at the Kings grave, which was
pointed out to me situated on a knoll,
with some stone steps leading up to the
top, to the lsft OF the house, and almost
beside it as it were. Ascending the
steps, I found Her Majesty seated by
grave, or tomb supenntending some
workmen who we're building large tomb
of masonry. The Queen was very graci-
Gus and good-looking, having remnants
of beauty in her person, and seemed to
have been very pretty in her younger
days. She has grave, benevolent ex-
preston of countenanee, and her de-
meanor bespesks her rank. The King
has been dead about twelve years, and
ever since his death she has kept watch
over his grave; the most OF the time
she herself keeps her silent vigil over
the resting. place of her love. A light is
always kept burning beside the tomb;
never allowed to go out under any cir
cumstances, and attended by the Queen g
retinue, who live in native-built house
adjoining. She is now having a large
tomb built, and intends having the
remains put in it, together with her
child, when flushed. She is also leav.
ing C place for herself and son, now
living. She was the second wife of the
King. What more touching and tender
spectacle than this quiet devotion to the
memory Of her love, by this grave and
sad-looking lady. Generally, the savagel

or even affection; but I think the i'm.

have witnessed many instances where
maternal affection has been exhibited
| and wifely devotion has shown itself t
an extraordinary degree. There Wal
once a native woman who swan twelv,
miles with her white husband on be-
back, to save his life from his enemies
and instances are not wanting where th'
wife has remained true to her dead low
during heI life, refusing to be oomfoEtet
by another affection.

The annual jumping procession of
,xemburg is one OF the queerest reli.
GUS displays to which superstitious
sdition ever gave rise. Whatever may
it's origin, certain it is that once o

d town of Echternacht gather together

sins of the preceding year are blotted

10, four abreast, and hand in hand,
ID, headed by bands Of music to which
cir movements keep time, they pro-
cd with the utmost solemnity to hop,

To upprejudiced spectators the spec.

avity of countenanoe and frantic en-
gy, jumping and hopping along beat

A SKETCH FROM NATURE.-Miss Cori-
sande was born only two years earlier
than her brother Tom. When Tom WAS
ten years old. she gloried because she
was twelve. When Tom was known to
be fourteen, she confessed to sweet six
teen. When Tom proudly boasted Of
eighteen, she tirnidly acknowledge her
self past nineteen. When he came home
from college, with moustaohe and q
vote. and had party in honor OF his
.wenty-frst birthday, she said to her
friends, "What boyish fellow he is!
who would think he was only year
younger than II" And when Tom de-
clared he was twenty-five years and old
enough to get married, she said to Q
gentleman friend: "Do you know I feel
savagely jealous to think that Tom. ia
getting married. But then, I suppose
twins always are more attached to each
other as brothers and sistars." And
two years later, at Toms wedding. she
said with girlish vivaoity, to the wedding
guests: "Dear old Tom! to see him mar
ried tonight, and then think how, when
he was only five years old, they brought
him to see me, his baby sister; wonder
if he thinks of it tonight"
