soLIouy OF KING HENRY v

Upon the king!-let us our lives, our souls,
our debts, our careful wives, our children,and
Our sins, lay on the king.
We must bear all.
o hard condition! twin.bo with greatness,
subject to the breath of every fool, whose
sense
No more can feel but his own wringing
What infinite hearts ease must kings neglect,
That private men enjoy!
And what have kings, that privates have not
too,
save ceremony, save general ceremony:
And what art thou, thou idle ceremony;
What kind OF god art thou, that sufrcr'st more
Ofmortal gricfe, than do thy worshppcrs;
What are thy rents; what are thy comings-in;
O ceremony, show me but thy worth!
What i thy soul ofadoration;
Art thou aught else but place, degree and
form,
Creating awe and fear in other men;
Wherein thou artlcSs happy, being fcard,
Than they in fearing.
What drink>t thou Oft instead of homage
sweet
But poison'd flattery? @, be sick, great great
ness
And bid thy ceremony give thee cure!
Thinks thou the fiery fever will go out
With titles blown from adulation:
viii it give place to ficXurc and low bending;
Can'st thou, when thou command'st the beg.
CARS knee
Command the health of it? No, thou proud
dream,
That playd so subtly with kings repose:
am king, that find thee; and know
It's not the balm, the sceptre, and the ball,
The sword, the mace, the crown imperial,
The intcr-tssu'd robe of gold and pearl,
The farccd title running fore the king,
The throne he sits ON, nor the tide OF pOmp
That beats upon the high shore of this world
No, not all these, thrice gorgeous ceremony,
Not all these, laid in bed maicstical,
Can sleep soundly as the wrctched slave.
Who, with IA body MIRA, and vacant mind,
Gets him to rest cramm'd with distrcssfu
bread;
Never sees horrid night, the child of hell
But, like lackcy, from the rise to set,
Sweats in the eye of Phpbus and all night
Sleeps in Elysum; next day, after dawn,
Doth rise, and help Hyperion to his horse;
And follows so the evcrrunning year
With profitable labour to his grave:
And, but for ceremony, such a wretch,
Winding up days with toll, and nights will
sleep,
Had the tore hand and vantage of king.
The slave Il member of the country's peace,
Enjoys it; but in gross brain little wots,
What watch the king keeps to maintain tn
peace,
Whose hours the peasant best advantages.

recently deposited in the National Muse
um by DR.. Lucas. 1t is turtle-shaped
prehistoric cutting, which measures 2 "a
inches in length, inches in width, and
l-2 inches in thickness. The whole
stone is transparent and without flaw.
Smoky quartz has returned the largest
revenue of any of the gem stones,
amounting, in 1884, to $4,000. The
finest specimens are those from Bear
Creek, Colorado, where finely developed
crystals, from an inch to over four feet in
length, have been found. In many of the
specimens, included minerals, such as
rutile, asbestos, and gothite, add much to
their beauty and value. Quartz crystals
containing fluid cavities with moving
bubbles are of particular interest, and
have been found in number of localities.
There are in addition large number of
less valuable stones, whose beauty still
attracts admiration. The beautiful green
variety of feldspar known as Amazon
stone, which has been found in fine crys-
tails at Pixies Peak, is much priced as cabi-
net specimens. The numerous varieties of
silicified wood have afforded as pretty
specimens as can be found the world over.
Numbers of minerals also, which have
but nominal value in themselves, are
made up into attractive articles. An
thracite is carved and turned into a variety
of pretty trinkets, of which s., 800 to So
600 worth are sold annually. Pipestone,
from those red pipestone quarries in Min
nesota which are so well known to the
readers of "Hiawatha" as having afford
ed the material of the famous peace pipe
smoked by Gitche-Manitou, the Mighty,
is still used for the same purpose, only
that the pipes sell for 81 to $50 apiece, ac-
cording to the carving, and circulate
strictly among mortals.
There are many inducements for a sys-
tematic search for precious stones.
Though we produced but SIS, $50 worth
of gems proper, we imported during the
same year diamonds and other precious
stones to the amount of over $4,000 900.
\ more intimate knowledge of American
resources will probably, in time, some
what reduce this undesirable proportion
between the native and imported gems.

LONGEVITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Statistics show that New Hampshire is
pre-eminently the home of the centenarian,
nonagenarian and octogenarian, OF hale
and hearty old men who began life with
the republic. Indeed, so numerous are
the veterans Of the war of 1872 in some of
the remote towns of the Granite State that
a popular impression prevails there that
"the last war as it is still called by these
warriors of bygone days, was fought en-
tirely by New Hampshire regiments, and
that from Lundy's Lane to the battle of
New Orleans they carried the American
banner to the front on every hard-contest-
ed field. Many theories have been spun
as to why people should live to he older
in New Hampshire than in Vermont or
Maine. OF course, there must he some good
reason for it. Perhaps it is because they
take better care of their health and under
stand what is the right medicine for the
right disease. Such at least would seem
to be the inference from the following ac-

THE WONDERFUL WEAVER,

There's wonderful weaver
High up in the air,
And he weaVcs white mantle
For cold earth to wear.
With the wind tor his shuttle
The cloud for his loom,
How he wcaves, how he weaves,
In the light, in the gloom!
Oh! with the finest of laces
He decks bush and tree;
ON the bare, fiinty meadows
\ cover lays he.
Then quaint cap he places
ON pillar and post;
And he changes the pump
To a grim, silent ghost!
But this wonderful weaver
Grows weary 1T last;
And the shuttle lies idle
That once flew so fast.
Then the sun peeps abroad
on the work that is done;
And he smiles: "I'll mravcl
1t all, just for fun"

The Guards, Eair.

The Bijou Rink was crowded Thanksgiving,af-
ternoon and evening, the different attractions Of

fair having drawn great crowd. In the after
noon, the Primary Cadets drilled splendidly, the
prize drill being won by Sergeant Foley who now
has the elegant gold medal offered as reward.
The "old woman in the shoe,r got up by the la
dies of the nom commissioned officers table, was
one OF the attractions. In the evening fifteen
hundred people attended the ball. 313 couples be-
