TRAINING A PRINCE.
How the Prince of Wales Was Made Z.
Obey His Governesa.

Obey His Governess.
Many years ago Miss Hillyard. the
governess in the royal family, seeing
the Prince of Wales inattentive to his
studies, said: Your Royal Highness is
not minding your business; will you be
pleased to look at your book and learn
your lesson?"
His Royal Highness replied that he
would not,
Then shall put you in the corner"
said the governess.
His Royal Highness again replied that
he should not learn his lesson, neither
should he go into the corner, for he was
the Prince of Wales; and, as if to show
his authority, he kicked his little foot
through pane of glass. Surprised at
this act of bold defiance, Miss Hillyard.
rising from her seat, said: ''Sir, You
must learn your lesson, and if you do
J It, though You are the Prince of Wales,
aaA put you in the corner"
= However, threats were Of no avail;
the defiance was repeated, and that, too,
in the same determined manner as be-.
tore-His Royal Highness breaking an
other pane of glass. Miss Hillyard, see
ing her authority thus set at naupht.
rang the bell and requested that his
father, His Royal Highness Prince AL
bert, might be sent for. =
Shortly after the Prince arrived, and
having learned the reason why his pres
ence was required, addressing the Prince
Of Wales, and pointing to stool or otto
man, said: :
"You viii sit there, SIR" /:
Prince Albert then went to his own
room, and returning with bible in his
hand, he said to His Royal Highness, the
Prince of Wales:
snow want you to listen to what St.
Paul says about the people who are un-
der tutors and governors.
And having read the passage to him.
he added;
alt Is undoubtedly true that you are
the Prince OF Wales, and if you conduct
yourself properly you may some day be
great man-you may be King in the
room OF your mother; bat now you are
only little boyi though you are the.
Prince Qf Wales, you are only q child
under tutors and governors, who must be
obeyed, and must have those under them
to do as they are bid. Moreover, must
tell you what Solomon says" and he
read to him the declaration that he
who loveth his son chasteneth him be,
times; and then, in order to show his
child, he chastised him and put him in a
corner, saying:
Now, sir, yoa viii stand there until
you have learned Jour lesson, and until
Miss Hillyard gives you leave to come
OUT and remember that you are under
tutors and governors, and that they must
be obeyed. Christian at Work

1Hr MAIpEN.s AIM.

He pelted her neatly, from head TO feet,
With snowballs soft and with snowballs deeS
And seemed to think it no end of fun;
While she was busy preparing one,
Rolling, pounding it hard and sound,
With snow scooped up from the 1eecy ground
They aimed-she her missile fair and clear;
But he did not dodge, for he did not fear;
But calmly waited to see 1t fly,
And far from its target wildly shy.
When, whack, on the side of his smiling face
He caught it right in the very place
She had meant to paste it. BY Jove, and Mars,
And Jupiter Ammon. but he saw stars
For her brother. a base ball pitcher tall
Had taught and trained her to throw ball
And this gay young fellow, who laughed with
glee
While bravely awaiting her onslaught, he
Walked sadly home, and twas later when
He fitted a smile to his mouth again.

Tne runera, Uouldn.t proesed.

There are still some towns in Maine
which neither the railroad nor the sum-
mer visitor has invaded. In such town
the greatest event Is wedding or a
funeral. In little village on the Up
per Renobeeot the monotony of a long
winter was broken by the funeral Of the
year-old child of one of the church dea-
cons. The whole town poured out to
the funeral services. They Were ash-
cred into the parlor, and there sat with
an air of sorrowful expectancy, waiting
for the ceremonies to begin.
Something had gone wrong, and the
guests grew impatient Finally the
Deacon appeared at the door. His face
was long as he said:
my friends, excuse this unseemly
delay. We have mislaid the corpsel''
After much trouble the object Of their
search was found. The little eoffin
had been placed on table in the hall
where it had been forgotten by the be-
reaved family, and the guests as they
entered had thrown of their wraps upon
the table, and thus the oversight was
caused. The corpse being found the
services proceeded as usual-G, Y. Sun.
