A sleepy Headed Duke.

Tn. Duke Of Edinburgh is getting up a
reputation as the champion sleeper and
also as the champion boor among all the
royal personaSes Of Europe. Last spring
this sleepy headed admiral laid such stress
upon the enjoyment Of his slumbers at
Cannes, ON the occasion Of Queen Vic
toria's visit 10 that place, that he refused
10 allow the British fleet under his COM
mand TO return tie royal salute Of the
French ~squanslron TO his mother until he
had slept all he wanted TO, which did not
come to pass until several hours after the
time that official courtesy demanded an
acknowledgment in kind Of the noisy
welcome Of the French guns. OF course,
the French admiral and the French peo-
pie were furious over this marked dis
courtesy.
But the Duke of Edinburgh sleeps in
spite of everything. For example, il is
reported that recently the British Medi-
%terranean feet arrived at an Algerian port
and the French officials went ON board
the flagship 10 pay their respects 10 the
luke Ms the commander Of the squadron.
But Edinburgh was at his usual business.
He was so fast asleep that his valet re-
fused 10 rouse him, and the insulted
Frpnchmen hurried ashore without q
chance TO pay their respects. The mat
lress Of this boorish duke must certainly
be stuffed with peoples. New York

With Men as with Trees.

II Is with men as with trees: il you
lop Oft their finest branches, into which
they were pouring their young life juice,
the wounds will be healed over by some
rough boss, some odd excrescence, and
what might have been a grand tree ex-
panding into liberal shade is but a whim-
steal misshapen trunk. Many an irritat-
ing fault, many an unlovely oddity, has
come Of a hard sorrow, which has
crushed and manned the nature just
when it was expanding into plenteous
beauty; and the trivial, erring life which
We visit with our harsh blame, may be
but as the unsteady motion of a man
