We have talked so much the last few weeks
ABOUT the abdication of Alexander, of Bull
CARA, but what a paltry throne was that
which tho unhappy King descended compared
with tho abdication Of that young man or
middle-aged man or old man who quits the

! on heavenly thtolc auI t,anpS Off into
gnominy and everlasting exile. That Is an
abdlcation enough to shock q universe. In

vino grace takes hold Of q man. The former
