Qnoen Elizabeth loved Aatlery, and
on one occasion her passion was fully
gratdei, as the following auecdoto tes-
tifies:
When the Duke de Villa Medina was
at the English court he was present and
took part at tournament given by
Elizabeth, where his gaIlautry and
manly beauty made him the observed oi
all observers. At the close OF the
sports, as the duke came near TO the
queen, she said to him, pleasantly, that
she would like to know who vas the
chosen lady OF SO gallant q knight;
whereupon he shook his head and
would not further answer.
But" persisted Elizabeth, "there
must be, somewhere. a lady whose
beauty and perfection Of character gives
to her a deeper place in your heart
than il yielded to another"
"Ah yes, gracious madam; there is
one such"
And may not know who she 10 =
Tho duke reflected 4 moment, and
then answered that he would inform
her on tie morrow.
And on the morrow he sent to The
queen, inclosed in box Of saudal.wood

acter can imagine how deeply this bii
Of Aat.ery must have touched her.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
Dean stapIey.. nssedIetIsa.

No one who heard It will ever forget
the benedietion which Dean Stanley
uttered ct the close Of the service ct
which he preached in Trinity church in
Boston on the 22I OF September, 1873.
He had been but few days in America.
1t was the first time he had looked an
American congregation In the face. The
church was crowded With men aud wo-
men, Of whom he only knew that to him
they represented the new world. He
was for the moment the representative
Of English Christianity. And as he
spoke the solemn words, il was not .
clergyman dismissing q congregation !;
it was the old world blessing the new
it was England blessing America. The
voice trembled, while i. grew rich and
deep, aud took every m1a's heart into
the great conception OF the act that
filed itself The next morning he met
a gathering of clergymsn at breakfast,
and as they separated, the room for an
instant growing quiet and sacred, he
said:
81 will bid you farewell with the
benedictiou pronounced yesterday at
Trinity church, and which il is my
habit 70 pronounce on all the more i'm
portant occasions in the Abbey" And
then again came the same words, with
the same calm s)lemnity. When he
stood where now he himself lies buried,
and had watched the dear remains of
his wife-to lose whom from his sight
was agony to him committed TO the
ground. he lifted up himself at the close
OF the service, and with q clear voice
uttered this same benediction. And

lay waiting for the end in the Deanery,

received the communion, the voice of
the dying dean was heard feebly bless.

Cannibal Feasts In Fiji.

But prior t o the great change in Fiji
caused by Christianity, feast would
have been held OF small account which
was not graced hy abundant human
flesh /; aud if perchance there was no
war on hand to provide this delicacy,
there WAS rarely much difficulty in fnd-
ing victims; a deienseless troop of wo-
men from some neighboring village, q
canoe driven ashore by stress OF weather.
or, failing these, q few insignitcant
serfs or wives WHO had lost favor with
their lords, supplied the place OF home
farm produce. Several peculiarities
we're observed concerning the b9said
or human flesh. It was considered in
digestible unless eaten with certain
herbs which we're puposely grown in
every village. Moreover, it was the
only meat which was preferred rather
high, and which must not be handled,
from belief that it would produce
skin disease. Therefore it was invari-
ably eaten with peculiar round wood
en- fork with four long prongs. Some
OF the most noted cannibals, who gloEied
in the multitude of men whom they had
eaten, actually kept record Of their
number by erecting lines of stones.
One OF these registers numbers S72 |

clares that his father ate them all him
self, allowing no one TO share with him
Another member of the same family
had registered foriy-eight, when his
becoming Christian had put stop TO
the amusement, and compelled him to
be satisfied wi commonplace beef.
In fact. one OF the excuses urged by
Thakombau for 50 long adhering TO
cannibalism was that he and his people
had no other substitute for English
bullamacov. IL is, however. twenty
years since he abiured the vile custom
and accepted Christianity; but many

II it is your purpose in life to make
your face your fortune, you must look
well to it or it will turn out to be your
misfortune.
The talent OF success is nothing more
than doing what you can well; aud do
ing we'll whatever you do, without a
thought of fame.
The desire to be loved is ever restless
and unsatisfied; but the love that flows
out upon others is a perpetual we'll
spring from on high.
1t is with diseases OF the mind as
with diseases of the body; We are half
dead before we understand our disor-
der, and hAlf-cured when we do.
Poverty is hard, but debt is horrible.
A man might as we'll have a smoky
house and scolding wife, which are
said to be the two worst evils OF our
life.
All the knowledge we mortals can
acquire is not knowledge positive,
but knowledge comparative, and sub

The Editor and the Shoemaker.

Ono day an editor, hard at work try.
ing to devise q plan to make delinquent
subscribers pay their dues, was called
upon by q shoemaker who dropped in
TO give the editor somo valuable hints
on running newspaper. The editor,
overioyed at the opportunity, gave the
man his best cane bottom chair, handed
him n fresh cigar and listened atten-
lively. Quoth the shoemaker, as he lit
the weed: Your paper needs q hun.
dred improved features. You don't
grasp the topics of the day by tho right
handle; you don't set the locals in the
right kind of type; your telegraph
news is too thin, even the paper itself
is poorly manufactured, not thick

don't run enough matter, and what you
do run amt OF the right sort; your
ideas about protective tariff are infer
nally foolish, and your stand on the

you these things because want 10 see

d" That's exRctly it." said the editor,
kindly; E" always had dim idea OF
my shortcomings, but never had them
so clearly aud convincingly set forth as
by you. 1t is impossible TO express my
gratitude for the trouble you have
taken, not only to find ont these facts,
but to point them out also. Some pco.
pie knowing all these things perhaps
nearly as veil as you are mean enough
70 keep them to themselves. Your sug.
gestions como in q most appropriate
time; have wanted somebody TO lean
on, rs 1t were, for somo weeks. Keep
your eye on the paper, and when you
see q weak spot come up"
Tho shoemaker left, happy to know
that his suggestions bad been received
with such Christian spirit. Next day,
just as he was finishing boot, the edi-
tor came in, and, picking up the mate.
remarked:
"T want TO toll you how that boot
strikes me. In the first place the
leather is poor; the stitches in the sole
