ever, the last tableau went off without a
hitch, and the slight mistake did not affect
the general verdict. An adjournment was
made to have dance in the hall, and 1
was standing idly looking on when Budell,
once more in his usual garb, rushed up to
me in fever Of excitement.
"By George, sir" he whispered, "con-
graduate me I've done it; it's all right. !"
And he dragged me along with him from
the hall into the empty library.
"What on earth do you mean man ?" l
exclaimed. "What have you done?"

cepted.

I inquired, Chow did you manage it

"No wonder !" interjected.

"Well, I'm glad you've settled it; and

ROYAL ENTERTAINMENTS following

ingenious London correspondents have

riage with Princess Beatrice Any such
report is nonsensical rubbish, absolutely
devoid of the smallest foundation. Lord
Harrington went to Osborne in order to
have an audience of the Queen, and, as is
usual, was invited to dine and sleep at the
palace. Do these correspondents sup
pose that visitors to Windsor or Osborne
are thrown into intimate communion with
the members of the royal family? A Min

has his audience, and is then left to his own
devices till dinner, when he again meets the

AN OLD DANCE UNDER NEW NAME.

The fashionable world of the south of
Europe is in the throes of revolution. The
waltz, that has long been as supreme and
threatened soon to become as solitary in
the ballroom programme as Alexander Sell
kirk in his island, has fallen into disrepute.
Florence and Milan have already declared
in favor Of a new dance called "the
Sivogero." Like Mr.. Mantalini, nee Man
tull, "the Sivogero," on examination,
proves, however, to be neither more nor
less than our old friend Sir Roger de Cover
ley, with the harsh consonants of his
English name and his uproarious behavior
at English juvenile parties mellowed to
suit the courtly southern tongue and taste.
Nor il the benevolent old country gentle
mans identity hidden even in Italy under
his italian name. Already" says one
tourists journal in characteristic Euglish,
" the most graceful bellies, and Laas Dec,
the courtly danes, to say nothing of the
beaux and stately mobiles of the male per-
suasion, are privately. e. during Lent
posing and pirouetting in all the graces of
Sir r de c." We in England, however,
who only know Sir Roger pseudonym
given by Addison, by the way, to William
Boevey of Flaxley-in his degenerate mod
ern form, are not likely, as yet, to appre.
ciate "the graces of Sir r de c." At
home, like other honest country gentlemen
when they grow old, Sir Roger has taken
too much to rioting among the children at
Christmas time to be welcome in polite
society. But residence in Italy works
wonders. In few years Sir Roger. as
" the Sivogero, and restored to the courtly
grace which dignifed his youth when
Charles II. danced with Lady Castlemaine,
and Pepys thought it "most noble and
great pleasure to see, /" will no doubt be re-
stored with honor to his kindred, mysteri-
ously ENROLLED. II London Globe.

DANIEL wHBsrRR's ONLY POEM.

Daniel Webster, II is said during his whole liter
airy life, wrote but one poem, and that upon tht
death Of his infant son. This son was born on Sum
mer street, in Boston, December 81, 1922 and dice
IN December, 1924. The poem has not appeared il
print for some years. 1t bears this title:
LINES os CHARLES DEATH.
Ny son, thou vast my hearts delight;
Thy morn of life was gay and CHEEKY;
That morn has rushed to sudden night;
Thy fathers home is sad and dreary
held thee my knee, my son,
And kissed thee laughing, kissed thee weeping
But, ah thy little life is done:
Thourt with thy angel sister sleeping.
The staff on which my years should lean
Is broken e'er those years come Ger me;
My funeral rites thou should'st have seen,
But thou art in the grave before me.
Thou raisest to me no filial stone,
No parents grave with tears beholdest;
Thou art my ancestor, my son,
And sIandest in heavens account the Oldest.
On earth my lot was soonest cast,
Thy generation after mine;
Thou bast thy predecessor past
Earlier eternity is thine.
1 should have set before thine eyes
The road TO heaven and showed it clear
But thou, untaught, spnngest to the skies,
And leavst the teacher learning here.
Sweet seraph, would learn of thee,
And hasten to partake toy bliss;
Aud alb TO thy world welcome me
AS erst welcomed thee 10 this.
Thy father, beheld thee born,
And led thy bottering steps with care
Before me risen to heavens bright morn
Ny son, my father, guide me there
