And the Queen began 10 run toward
the palace. more angry At every step.
"Pericor" she called out to her hus-
band. '.read. read this paper and see

King Pcrico had his suspicious that
the pie mentioned in the paper would
be less easy OF digestion than the
Queens, and began investigations with
that prudence and sagacity which af-
fairs Of state require. The result proved
that the object OF his Ministers was
nothing less than his destruction
The traitors we're arrested and sem
fenced to death.
Finding no mercy in the King, whose
nose was for the first time in his life
really swollen. the conspirafors sought

guiltless Of trying TO rival her in what
she did with such perfection. she inter-
coded for them so cfiicaciously with
her august spouse that his anger was
appeased.

must be granted that Providence does
not act blindly. Our august spouse
must be permitted to exercise the talent
God has given her. But how. by the
mass. am / to free myself from the
crowd OF rogues around me- The bad
corrupt the good, and the corruption
seems to be spreading at such a rate
that in few years l do not see how
