The spanish Kings sneech.

MADRID, Dec. 1S.-The ministerial council
has approved the draft of the royal speech to
be delivered at the opening of the cortes. Il.
is reported that the speech announces the ex.
tension of suffrage to all able to read and
write, who pay taxes, and with a view to its
further extension, mentions possible reforms of
the constitution for discussion by future
COZ tes, proposes bills for civil marriages and
jury trial; declares the relations of Spain
with all foreign countries friendly. The dis
pute with France relative to the treatment of
Alfonso in Paris has been satisfactorily ar
ranged, the relations now existing between
the countries are friendly, as beftting two
adjacent nations with common commercial
interests Spain, it says, will endaavor to
increase the cordiality with France if possible.
1t is believed that Sagssta will accept the
speech, thus reconciling the existing majority
in the coItes and the dynastic Left. The
Conservative organs denounce the commercial
agreement with England, and claim that its
provisions are injurious to Spanish interests.

made; 1t was very large. as it was for

take it to the bake-house. He re-
fused, saying it was not consistent
with his dignity to be seen dressed
in plush and tags, carrying meat
pie. Mistress Peg then desired the
coachman to take it; but he also de-
clined. Bring out the carriage, !"
was the command. The carriage
was harnessed, the coachman donned
his powdered wig and mounted the
box; the footman assembled behind,
and Miss Margaret Wharton sitting

Make Allowance.

Do not fail to make allowance for
the effects of their ill health upon
those of your friends who are inva>

troll and sweetness OF temper they
may have, or may have had when
they were well, it is almost inevitable
for them to seem, and probably to
become, little irritable now and
then, and, at any rate to show less
interest than you expect them to feel
in what interests others. The un
comfortable consciousness OF beng
shut out from many of their wonted
activities, the knowledge that they
necessarily are causing others extra
thought and labor, the strain OF long
endurance OF discomfort, The shocks
that things, which ordinarily seem to
be mere trities, now infict upon their
sensitive nerves, and their frequent
and natural torgettulness, to some
degree, of matters external and con-
ceutration of attention upon their
inner selves and the future-all these
combine to render them quite unlike
their former selves. Bear with them
patiently and lovingly, and help Them
to cultivate that sweet aud blessed

and the friend drove the team around
the track, while the merchant stood
on the judges stand and watched
