The etiquette which prevailed at Yer
sailles was of the most infinitely elaborate
character, and governed every movement
of the king and those about him from
the very moment he opened his august
eyes until he closed them in sleep. He
was the center of the whole; it was a
drama, daily repeated-the same charac-
tiers, h same scenes, the same details
oppressive in its sameness, fatiguing in
its constant pressure.
ave neither the space nor the i~ncliua-
ton to dwell on all the extraordinary
ceremonial of the state dinner; the TWEEN
ty or thirty grandees fiuttering around
the kings plates and glasses; the sacra-
mental u%tterances of the occasion; the
gaudy procession of the retinue; the ar
rival of Ia nef-that is, the center piece
ofplate which contained, between scented
cushions, the kings napkins, and Pessai
des plats-the tasting of each dish by the
gentlemen servants and officers of the
table before the king partook of it.
The same custom was observed with
he beverages. 1t took four persons to
serve the king with a glass of wine and
water. Well might Frederick the Great,
on hearing an account of all this tyranny
of etiquette, exclaim, that if he were king
of France his first edict would be to APP
point another king to hold court in his
place.-All the Year Round.

isaIne nat would nave made ner an out
cast? That which / sought, that which
l found, was n living proof of my dear
fathers innocence. Look! do you know
this mani Have you no recollection of

And l turned my eyes Upon the old
man, who had taken my hand in his,
and knew that 1 looked upon my uncle
Mathew.
The whole town knows the story now.
He has told them how, yielding to his
wandering impulses, he left, as he had
done once before, the home and friends
Of his early manhood, and far from all
news of Christian lands dwelt in the
Arabs tent upon the desert and van
dered with him over the burning sands,
loving the life too well to leave it, and
never hearing of Gideon Lees unids Isl
condemnation, or of his terrible fate, until
his son stood before him and babe him,
if one drop of Christian pity fingered in
his soul for the man on whom he had
brought this awful doom, to return and
prove by his living presence the fact of
his innocence and of his unjust death.
They speak of Gideon Lees children
now as of those of a martyr; and the
ban is lifted from the name that l have
taken for my own.-Buffalo News.
