1t was our unexpected good for
tune to be able to spare time last
week to make flying visits to Ellis
vile and Hattiesburg, and we were
deeply gratified to practically as.
certain that old friends IN these
thriving towns had not forgotten
us. Directly after arriving at Ellis
vile we were captured by the @. &
G. Band, installed as pro TEN.
mem Der, and made trip with the
boys to Harrisburg. Although a
visit from the band was totally un>
expected, large impromptu danes
ing party was soon formed, and
that hospitable couple, DR.. Ber-
trand and wife, welcomed the mer~
rysmakers to their spacious par
lors. On thu following day, in
company with several friends, we
dined at Mr.. e gar Couch's, and
were delightfully."- entertained b.
him and his interesting family.
Apropos of the Hattiesburg visit:
the countenance Of every band
member will wear the broadcast of
smiles if the following questions are
asked: elbow did you lose your
cap ~ "Who tried to leap Gordon
creek ?" Courtesies extended at
Ellisvllle by the ladies Of the Wind
sor Hotel, Col. j. u. Ryan, Prof.
Hicks, Messrs. Mmms, Mcintosh,
Solomon and others will long be re-
membered. AS this was hasty
Christmas trip we failed to visit
many friends we were anxious to
meet: and also know that we will be
excused on the score of holiday
ingredients" for not giving a full
and lucid description Of incidents
that have and have not been men
toned.

practical thing or two regarding

particularly those in connection
with The tender passion "Bab"
has the following to say about Leap
Year, from which the girls may des
rive several useful hints for their
guidance during the next twelve
months of their ''opportunity:'
"The new 1892 is Leap Year, so
it is bound to bring all the girls
husbands that is, if those who
have the courage of their convic-
ton will only ask the important
question. l don't think exactly a
woman should propose; but If she
is in love with a man and he is IN
love with her, and he is just bit
bashful, certainly there could not
be any harm in her talking about
love and sweets OF married life
until his heart is humping and his
lips manage to form the words she
has been waiting to hear. All
things do come to her who know
eth how to wait. but it is the know
ing how to help it on that makes
them possible"

A new feature has been added to
the exercises of the Westville school
one which we would ike to see
adopted by the school here. The
Westville News refers to the plan
as follows:
GA new feature of the school is
the miscellaneous exercises that
have been recently introduced. A
half day every two weeks is given
to select readings, Rotations, crit
iciSing, debating, original oratiOns
and any thing else the teachers
may select. This is quite an mo-
walton, and its good results are al
ready being seen. The children
take great interest in it, and it is
totally unnecessary to coerce them,
as all seem to be enthused in their
work. This is regular school
duty, aud one of the teachers act
as president, and every thing is
carried on according to strict par
liamentary law.
Now let the people come in and
help by endowiug the school with
a good library
The formation of a similar junior
literary society by our scnool chill
dren would no doubt result in great
good to them, and would also prove
benefit to the senior organization,
as its members would make extra
exertions to be prompt In the per
formance of their duties, thereby
setting a worthy example for the
juniors to initiate.

AS we issued no paper last week,
it is now too late to make any
lengthy notices of past holiday
items as they would prove rather
stale reading. 1t is therefore cons
sidered sufficient to say, that the
Christmas tree festivities at the
Baptist church came fully up to the
average of such occasions, that
the children enjoyed themselves
just as well as we old folks did
when young, that the building was
packed like "a sardne box, and that
good order prevailed. The can
tata entertainments given at the
Methodist church Christmas night
was largely attended, and the little
people rendered their several parts
with credit to themselves and
pleasure to the audience. Sobriety
and dignitied conduct was general
ly observ ed throughout the week,
a fact that affords us much salis-
faction TO chronicle.

King Christian was a fortunate man
when he conquered the love of so noble
and good a bride. Though she is
seventy-fve years old now, she does not
look more than fifty-six. She is still
handsome, and with regard to bright

few women, if any, can excel her. But
more precious than all these qualities
and greater treasure than the crown
she wears is her heart of gold. If any
woman is beloved in Denmark it is she.

a poor village church possesses an altar
piece painted for it by her. Though she

her deafness somewhat interferes with
her enjoyment of musical sounds, a

queen seldom miss a concert or a "pre-
miere."
During summer the court of Denmark
offers a sight probably the most unique
in the world. Bernstorff is the name of
the royal summer residence.
IL is situated a couple of miles from
Copenhagen and near to the deer park
Dyshaus, of which all Danes are very
proud. The queen is especially fond of
staying there, but when all the children
and grandchildren come visiting, Bern
storf is too small and the court moves
to Fredensborg, near Elsinore, the spot
to which cling SO many associations of
the i'll fated Prince Hamlet.
The castle was built a century and a
half ago by Frederick " on the shores
of Lake Esrom in commemoration of
the peace between Denmark and Swe-
den. At this idyllic sylvan spot even
the car and the czarina are able for
awhile to forget their anxieties. When
Fredensborg is filed with visitors, ex-
cursions to Copenhagen are frequent,
and the hearts of the Danes beat high
when they see the empress of all the
Russians with her sister, the Princess
Of Wales, and her brother, the king of
the Hellenes, walking quietly about the
streets shopping. The emperor of Rus
