The Queen.

SO little is heard in these days Of
the ceremony of browning the May.
Queen. that one might suppose those
joyous festivities were entirely things
of the past. There are many towns
in the provinces of France where the
festival is kept up with all it's ancient
interest A person writing from
thence this season, says:
"On Sunday last the pretty annual
ceremony of browning the rosiere
took place at Nanterre. A young
girl is chosen by the votes of all the
little town for her virtues and good
actions, and crowned rosiere, or
Queen of the May, with much rejoic-
ings. Dressed all 10 white, the rosiere,
followed by a long procession, walks,
early in the morning, to the fountain
of the market. place, where she is met
by the r0siere of the year before,
dressed also in white, and heading
another procession. When all are
assembled around the fountain there
are music, choruses, and great deal
of cheering, and then the queen Of
the day is escorted to the mayor
who pronounces few compliments
to the girl, and then presents bel
with three hundred francs. Then The
procession adjourns to the church
where the rosiere is seated under ,
crimson dais, vespers are sung, thu
cure addresses short homily to th'
little queen, and four children ap
proach, bearing a blue silk cushion
On which lies wreath of white roses
and she is crowned rosiere. Domin
salUam bursts from the choir, and th
rosiere Is conducted in great pom
, to her h ouse.

Sayings by Josh Billings.


Inspiration always waits upon
the busy. l have seen men sit
down all day under shade tree with
a hoe in their hand, close to the edge
of a corn.feld, waiting to be in-
spired; but the weeds in that corn
field didn't wait for any inspiration.
Many people have no other way
To succeed 10 this world but to pull
Others back. but the true way is TO
elevate others as high as we can.
and then put ourselves above them.
The man whom praise always
makes humble, is an ironclad.
If a man will tell me wha. 90
thinks of bis neighbors, can tell
him what his neighbors think of him.
The more intelligent man be-
comes, the less he thinks of himself,
and the more he thinks of others.
! How many thousands there are
who live out a whole life, and have
nothing to prove it by, only that
they have had the humps, the mea-
sizes, and perhaps the chicken-pox.
After all, there is very much
which is called courage, which is
nothing more than fear; we are
afraid of being called towards, and
so we arc very brave.
This world is full of heroes. i
know thousands of them to-day,
who are working hard for twelve
dollars week, to feed and clOthe
their wives and children.
An honest man is satisfied with
the approval OF his own conscience
while simply honorable man Otter
only looks TO the world for HE mp
