faults, and remain quite placid under
their effects as regarded herself.
This conduct, before very long time
had elapsed, produced an effect far more
agreeable than she had ever ventured to
anticipate.
The general began to like her.
Like many other cross people, he was
excessively difficult to be pleased in one
article, the way people took his seedlings.
He was offended if they were received
with cheerfulness, in the way Edgar had
tried to laugh them off; he was still more
vexed if people seemed hurt or suffering
under them; if they cried, it was bad
indeed. Like many Others not absolutely
wicked and cruel, though he could not
control his temper, he really did feel
vexed at seeing the pain he had pro-
duced. His conscience would cry out a
little at such times. Now nothing made
him so uncomfortable and irritable as
having n quarrel with his conscience; a
thing that did not very often happen, to
be sure, the said conscience being in his
case not very watchful guardian, but
was all the more disagreeable when it
spoke. The genuine good temper and
habitual self-possession, the calmness
without disrespect, the cheerfulness
without carelessness, the respectful
attention stripped of all meanness or
subservience which Lettice managed to
preserve in her relations with him, at
last made its way quite to his heart

Titles QuantitatIyeiy Considered.
Temple Bar

A Duke, as is generally known, is
STYLED, "His Grace" The next nine
steps, from Marquises to Barons, both in
elusive are "Lords;" Marquis being
"Most Honorable" and the other eight
"Right Honorable" The five lowest
steps are simply Honorable" In the
case of younger sons of Dukes and Mar
quses the title lord is placed before
the Christian name, which must be ex-
pressed either in full or at least by one
initial. For instance, it is quite incor-
rect to write or speak of Lord G. Hamil-
ton as "Lord Hamilton" Newspapers
often commit this error. Iord G.. Ham
ilton" may be written, or "Lord George"
either written or spoken; but Lord Ham
ilton" could onl y mean peer or Il peers
eldest son.
If the rule given above for establisch
ing the order of precedence should appear
too difficult, we have another mode of
obtaining the same result, which we do
not believe has ever been published. 1t
is as follows: Let peer of one grade be
considered as being Of three degrees"
of nobility higher than peer of the next
grade below. (For instance, let an Earl
be supposed to be three degrees higher
than Viscount and three lower than a
Mar1uis) Then four degrees will rep
resent the difference between a peer and
his eldest son, and also the difference
between an eldest son and younger sons.
To take a convenient example, we will
suppose 20 to represent Baron, then
% will represent a Viscount, 26 an
Earl, 90 Marquis, and 80 Duke. A
Dukes eldest son will be represented by
20, Viscount's younger son by Is, and
so on. Thus complete table may be
formed, which will be found to agree,ex-
actly with the former. And the, ,coaye-
nience of making 20 stand for Baron
will appear from the following properties
of the table so formed, viz. that the
numbers beginning with !, e., ~ to 19
inclusive, will denote the "Honorables;" :"
those beginning with ., i. e., 20 to 80 in.
elusive, will denote the nine different
kinds of LORDS" and the solitary mum.
ber beginning with 8, viz. 32, will denote
ellis Grace the Duke of So-and-so.

"I did not feel it cold, but then this

Mrs. Melwyn looked at her in PEN
sive, anxious, inquiring manner. She
wanted to see if she was understood; she
saw that she was. She saw something
truly heartening and encouraging in the
young girls countenance. She shook
hands with her and bade her good night
very affectonately, and went to her own
dressing-room. Randall was as cross
that ight as it was possible for the most
tyrannical servant to be, but some way
or other, Mrs. Melwyn did not seem as if
she cared for it quite so much as usual;
she had her mind filled with the image
of Lettice. Something 80 very nice about
her, she thought to herself, in
one respect even better than Cath
crime. She should not be SO
afraid of her being distressed at dis
agreeable things; she should venture to
tell her all about Randall, and other
vexations which she had carefully con-
cealed from Catherine, lest they should
make her unhappy. Thus she represent
ed it to herself: the truth was lest Cath
crime should make point of Randall
being parted with, an effort she knew
herself quite incompetent to make.
She should be able to complain of Ran
dali without feeling that she should be
urged to conquer her weakness and part
WIN ntT. IneTe WAS SJHelHlllS very
comfortable in this; so Randall pouted
away, and Mrs. Melwyn needed it not
very much, not nearly so much as usual /;
and when Randall perceived this, she
was excessively offended, and more and
more cross and disagreeable. She had
quite quickness enough to perceive how
much her depotism must be weakened
by the rule being thus divided, and she
saw even so early something of the effects
she deprecated. The observation, how
ever, did not tend to soften her or to
render her more obiging, it was not the
least her plan to contend with the new
conner in this way; she meant to meet
her. and her mistress with open de-
fance, and bear both down by main
force.

Cowards die many times before their DEATH
-SHAKSPEARE.

Cowards die many times before their death.
SHAKESPEARE
The courage of Lettice, as l told you,
was strong, and her nerves good, but in
spite of this, assisted by the best resolu-
tions in the world, she did find it hard
matter to stand the general. She was
very hopeful the first day or two; the
hpbitual politeness of which | have
spoken, came in aid. 1t exercised a sort
of instructive and Involuntary check
upon the old mans rude intemperance
of language when irrtated. Lettice did
her ry best to read the newspaper to
his satisfaction; skipping every un-
necessary word, just as Catherine had
been accustomed to do, withopt hurting
the sense in the least; and getting over
the ground with all the rapidity the old
veteran desired. This was a plan poor
Mrs. Melwyn was far too nervous to
adopt. If she missed word it was sure
to be the wrong one to miss; one neces-
sary to, instead of encumbering, the
meaning. 1t was quite Indispensable
that she should read simply and straight

she was certain to get into confusion,
and have herself scolded. Even the
dreaded and dreadful backgammon did
tclerably well whilst the generals polite
ness to the stranger lasted. Lettice was
surprised herself to find how easily the
task, which had appeared so awful, was
discharged; but she had not long to con-
graduate herself. Gradually, at first by
slow degrees, but afterwards like the
accelerated decent of stone down
the hill, acquired habit gave way
to constitutional ill-humor. Alas,
they tell us nature expelled with
a pitchfork will make her way back
again; most true of the unregenerated
nature, most true of the the poor blind
heather, or the poor untutored Christian,
to all ntents and all purposes heathen
too true even of those assisted by bet
ter considerations, higher principles and
higher aims.
First it was little low grumbling;
then few impatient gestures; then q
few inpatient words; words soon became
sentences; sentences of invective--soon
it was with her just what it had been
with others. This graduated progression
assisted, however, gradually to harden
and prepare her. She was resolved not
look frightened, though her very knees
would knock together at times. She was
determined never to allow herself to feel
provoked, or hurt, or ill-used, let the
general be ever so rude; and to soften
her heart by any such ideas she never
allowed herself. Steadily she kept in
mind that he was suffering, ill-discip-
lined old man; and, by keeping these
considerations in view, she actually
achieved the most difficult--almost
heroic effort. She managed to attain
frame of mind in which she could pity
his suferings. feel indulgence for lis

Gen. Washington was dignifed in man
ner and speech. He exacted appropriate
consideration tor himself and his posi-.
ton; but he exhibited trait rare among
men of high station-he was always con
siderate toward bis associates. An an
ecdote illustrates this high. bred courtesy
and also his tender sympathy:
Stopping one day during the war at
house in New Jersey, he found there Il
wounded officer. The man was confined
to his bed, and was SO feeble that the
least noise agitated him. Washington
spoke in such low tone. and while nj
dinner WAS so quiet, rs To iuhuence his
officers to similar consideration tor the
wounded man.
When he had dined he left the room
and the officers. unrestrained by his
presence, forgot in their hilarity the
poor sufferer. Suddenly the door openee
quietly, and Washington entered on
tiptoe, walked TO the mantel, took book
and without uttering word quietly re
tired.
The delicate suggestion, too courteous
for a hint, was not lost. 1t was followed
by considerate qnietness.
