friends the Brownings, Joanna Baillie,
Miss Martineau, Carlyle, Ottilie Won
Goethe: Our own Irving, Miss Sedgwick,
with whom she was in the strongest sym
pathy, Barry Cornwall, Thackery and
Schlegel, and the life Of her, just issued,
is enriched with many of the letters and
notes which passed between them and
herself. Two or three passages with ref
erence to Queen Victoria's coronation and
first years as Queen, have special interest
as revelation both Of the Queens char
acter when she first came to the throne,
and of the tenderness, half pity, half
affection, with which her subjects re-
garded tho young sovereign. Writing Of
the coronation, in letter to Miss Sedg-
wick, Mrs Jameson said:
LAS to the Queen, poor child, she went
through her part beautifully, and when
she returned, looking pale and tremulous
TX i even Carlyle, who was standing
near me, uttered with emotion blessing

BaSe-Ball,

The melancholy days have come,
The saddest Of the year,
When those who tread the diamond-feld
No longer toss the sphere;
No longer seize the springy ash
And nerved to do or die
Hit for triple-bagger hard,
To perish on a fly.
No more the umpire's "Out at home'
Makes some great slider blue,
No more the blank-faced crowd is moved
To blank thesumpire too.
No more the scorer sees muff,
And marketh down the same,
To be informed he'd better learn
A little OF the game.
No more the anager revolves
Advance dates in his mind,
And figures on the rain twill take
To run the club behind.
No meals at big hotels; no flowers;
No picnics to remember;
No compliments; no shy sweet looks

How an Old Nag Went.

Horse traders were surprised In tn s
city a couple OF days ago because horse
which they refused to buy at twenty-five
dollars, trotted under $50 and made two
hundred dollars for his impecunious
looking owner. Graves andsa few others
were standing out at the corner Of Third
street when rustic appearing CHAP
drove up in a rickety rig, pstched up
harness and banged wagon; two horses
were hitched in, one Of them seemed
about ready to lay down under load of
years and short grass. This horse the
fellow tried to sell. He was very hard
up and wanted to dispose Of him the
worst way. In his recommending he
did not forget that the old horse had
''go' in him. But the lockers on didn't
think that plug could go and some of
them were rash enough to bet he couldn't
go a mile in four nSinutes. They put up
money on it and Kept betting on time
clear down to so. The owner then
wanted to bet FIVE hundred dollars his

the crowd got scared about his time and
refused to invest any more money, pre-
ferring to see how the old nag could go.
They all adjourned TO the fair grounds
where rusticus, hitched to an old sulky,
drove around few times to timber up,

In another letter to Miss Sedgwick we
read OF the young Queen:

Rice told friend Of mine that he once
carried her some papers to sign, and said
something about managing so as to give

Mrs. Jameson was living at Windsor at
the time, and appears to have been en-
chanted with the memories Of the place,
and not less with the younger Queen in
the castle. Writing in August, 1888, to
Miss sedgwick, she said
Among the visions to which, childlike,
solnimcs yield up ny fancy when
alone | look up to those vast towers OF
our Kings, is one especially, Of having
you here at Windsor. To come down as
strangers CO. to take hasty dinner and
see over the state rooms and pictures, is
not to be thought Of. Windsor is like
nothing but itself IN the world And
though you are Democrat the gods have
made YOU pcetical. Imagine our pretty
young Queen, with all her couvtly suite,
pouring out Of the great gates Of the
castle on most beautiful horses, and
sweeping through the avenues and glaoes
Of the forest here, the Windsor Forest,
which is the classic ground OF our ShaEz-
spare as we'll as Of our Edwards and
Henrys. It sounds well, does it not?
And really it is a most spledid sight As
to tlle Queen, she really plays the part to
admiration, 'poor little girl as Carlyle
