Court of James l.

When Christian ". King of Denmark,
p.id visit to the Court of King James l,
IN 1905, the carousals Of the palace were
carried to most extrayagant height.
Even the ladies were seen abandoning
their sobriety, and rolling about in a state
Of intoxication. "One day," says Harri-
son, "a great feast was held; and after
dinner the representation Of Solomon in
his Temple and The Coming of the
Queen Of sheba,' was made, or (as lnuy
better say) was meant 10 have been made
before their Majesties. But, alas! as all
earthly things do fail to poor mortals
in enjoyment, so did prove our pr
sentiment thereof. The lady who did
play the 'Queen's' part did carry most
precious gifts to both their Majesties; but,
forgetting the steps arising to the canopy,
overset her casket into lis Danish Majes-
tvs lap. and fell at his feet, though rath
er think it was in his face. Much was
the hurry and confusion cloths and nap
kns were at hand to make all clean. His
Majesty then got up, and would dance
with the Queen Of Sheba; but he fell
down, and humbled himself before her,
and was carried to an inner chamber and
laid on a bed Of state. The entertainment
and show went forward. Now did appear
in rich dresses Hope, Truth and Charity.
Hope did essay to speak, but wine rem
dered her endeavors 80 weak that she
Withdrew, and hoped they would excuse
her brevi,y. Faith was then all alone, for
| am certain she was not joined with good
works, and lift the court in staggering
condition. Now did Peace make her en-
Try, and strove to get foremost to the King;
but I grieve to tell how great wrath she
did discover unto these Of her attendants,
and. much contrary to her semblance,
rudely made war with her olive branch,
and laid on the pates Of those who did op-
pose her coming. Never 10 our Queens
(EIizabetb) days." concludes the facetious
knight, did l see such lack Of good order,
discretion and sobriety."

WELL DoNE.-A young man called, in
company with several other gentlemen,
upon young lady. Her father was also
present, to assist in entertaining the callers.
He did not share his daughters scrup les
against the use Of spirituous drinks, for he
had wine to offer. The vine was poured
out, and would soon have been drank, but
the young lady asked, ibid you call upon
me OF upon papag" !,
"Gallanlrv, If nothing else, compelled
them to answer. I'VE called upon you
"Then you will please not drink wine !;
I haze lemonade for my callers"
The father urged the guests to drink,
and they were undecided. The yonng
lady added, Remember, If you call op""
me, then you drink lemonade; but ifupon
papa, why, in tina. case have nothing TO
say"
The wine. glasses were. set down with
their contents untast.d.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN,

An old man Of experience says:
I have seen yonng man sell q good
farm, turn merchant, and die in an insane
saylurn.
have seen farmer travel about so
much that there was nothing At home
worth looking at.
Ihave seen young girl marry . man Of
dissolute habits and repent Of it as long as
she lived. ...-
Ihave seen man spend more money in
folly than would support his family in COM
fort and independence.
l have seen man depart from truth
when candor and ve'acity would have
served him TO a much better purpose.
l have seen extravagance and folly Of
children bring their parents to poverty and
want, and themselves to disgrace.
have seen prudent and industrious
wife retrieve the fortune Of the family,
when the husband pulled at the other end
Of the rope.
have seen young man who despised
the counsel Of The wise and the advice Of
good, and his career end in poverty and
wretchedness.

We are apt to smile at enthusiastic peo,
pie, aud the smile is mingled with com
passion. "Hs is so enth usisstic," !" we say
apoiogetically Of some friend. and we make
the admission as If it implied a want Of
balance. But what would the world be
without enthusiastic souls, or how would
its great enterprises be sustained and ac-
complishedt Enthusiasm is the lever by
which most Of Us need to be lifted. The
inertuess Of selfish or p1eoccupied or indo-
lent souls can only be overcome BY this
force. For enthusiasm is gifted With the
faculty Of seeing into futurity, and, over
looking the immediate steps, the toll and
effort Of the work, beholds glorious Wis
ion Of the whole, and is refreshed thereby;
while the duler spirits are yet doubling
and calculating. Some one has said, and
said truly, that "he is old indeed who has
outIived his enthusiasm" Well for us il
We hsvs kept ours, if We can still be en-

Prescription for Fits.

For fit Of passion-Walk out into the
open air. You may speak yonr mind to
the winds without hurting any one, or pro
claiming yourself to be simp'eton. 'Be
not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for an
ger resteth in the bosom Of FOOLS.
For tit of idleness-Count the tickings
of the clock. DO this for one hour, and you
will be glad to pull off your coat the next
and work like man. "S'othfulness cast
eth into deep sleep, and an idle soul
shall suffer hunger.
For fit of extravaganza and fol|y-Go
to the workhouse or speak with the ragged
and wretched inmates Of the Jail, and you
will be convinced that
"Who makes his bed Of briar ard thorn,
Must be content to lie forlorn."
Wherefore do ye spend money for that
which is not bread, and your labor for that
which satis6eth not?"
For fit of ambition--Go to the church
ward and read the gravestones. They
will tell you Of the end Of man at his best
estate. For what is your life 1t is even a
vapor that appearetb for little time and
then vanisheth away" "Pride goeth be-
fore destruction and naughty spirit be
fore fall"
For f: of repining--Look about for the
halt and the blind, aud visit the bedfidden
the afflicted and the deranged; and they
will make you ashamed Of your light attic
tions. "Wherefore doth living man com
plain" +-.
For fit Of envy--Go and see how many
who keep their carriages are afflicted with
rheumatism, gout and dropsy; how many
walk abroad on crutches or stay at home
wrapped up in flannel; and how many are
subjec. to epilepsy OF apoplexy. "A sound
heart is the life Of the flesh. Envy is the
rottenness Of the bones"

story about married couple in Spring
field. It says: When Massachusetts
woman forms habit it is al! waste Of
time for her husband to try to break her
it. Well knowing his wife's disposition
to make him a present regularly at the
anniversary Of his birthday, a citizen Of
the Bay State, Who likewise forcib'y real
lied the fact that economy was an absolute
necessity in his household. said to his
wife, ''This year you must not undertake
to make me present, | insist. It would
be absurd to do so at this time. when We
need everything We can rake and scrape
give you fair notice that If you do carry
| out your former custom this year, l will
buru up the present as surely as you make
it," So the wife bethought herself. She
could not bear the idea Of being deprived
Of her annual pleasure. Therefore she
gathered together her dimes and bought
for her dearly beloved, as birthday pre-
sent, 3 ton Of coal.
