The Terrible Burden of Crown.
Canon Farrar in Youths companion.

Kings are wealthy and powerful. II
wealth and power are to be envied, few
would have lot more enviable than
theirs. Yet the mere incidents OF the
coronation days, even of English l>ings-
the tumut at the coronation OF the Con-
queror the massacre at that of Richard
the First, the fainting of Edward the
Sixth, the heavy crown which left deep
red mark on the forehead of Queen Anne
George Vnearly strangled by the weight
OF his gorgeous robes-were all but omens
that, though the crowns of kings may be
"set with diamonds, or Indian stones" !"
the kings themselves enjoy but seldom
the crown of content which is worn upon
the heart.

One dav two residents of Deals Island,
Md, were out fishing. They had padded
and rowed in the hot sun all the after
noon without even getting a nibble.
They had Just anchored to try their luck
again when the Rev. Joshua Thomas the
famous Methodist minister, came pad
ding along in his canoe. Now, it seems
as if one of the men had long been the
subject of the reverend gentleman's pray
ers, without avail, however. As he came
up he saluted them with: "Well, brethren,
what luck?" "Rad enough, Parson Thorn
as, bad enough" replied one of the men.
The other called out in a joking way:
"Now. look yer, Parson Thomas, you Lyay
an wen fish" "Donew quickly respon-
ded the good man.
He tied his canoe to post and went
down on his knees. Over went their
lines. The parson poured forth his prayers
in earnest, not forgetting toput in wor'
for the salvation of the souls of the men
Presently, Excited and enthusiastic, one
of the men straightened himself up and
exclaimed: "stop right thar, Joshua
Thomas: I've got a bite: I'll jine your
congregation" Shure enough the first fish
for that day was large sunperch, hon

many Of tho country papers are

light in setting forth in glarlng

men who have never done a

cning comes from the prospect
of the gain of n few dollars by
