LETTERS OF CONDOLENCE.

To write a letter of congratulation
on a happy event in the history of a
friend is a comparatively easy task.
Words of cheer and falicitation fall
trippingly from the pen as from the
tongue. The letter of coincidence re-
quires more care, more delicacy, a
greater comprehension, a fuller rec
ognition of the friends character and
environment. Many people hesitate
to write their thoughts of sympathy
to one who is suffering under the first
surprise and bewildering shock of a
deep bereavement. The impulse is
strong to put forth a hand in the dark
and give the warm clasp which means
"I am sorry" "I grieve in your
grief" 81 would help you if I could"
but quickly upon it's heels tread the
suggestions of caution. II do not
know her we'll enough to intrude,"
whispers an instructive refinement of
pity.
"My rude thrusting in of myself
would only tear open the wound
afresh.o "Should I attempt to speak
words of consolation, they would
sound like platitudes, appear conven-
tional or perfunctory." The argu-
ments are often SO reasonable in their
appeal to common sense that the orig
nal tender impulse is ~resolutely
crushed back; one prays for ones
friend. but does not directly address
her.
In most cases the silence is a mis-
take. Occasionally it is better than
speech, we grant, particularly when
those of whom we think are mere ac-
quaintances, not even in the outer
circle as yet of friendship, Or when
the sufferers are specially shy of man
ner and reticent of nature.
Usually, however, the letter Of con-
dolence, if short, earnest and sincere,
is an olive branch of promise borne as
by a very messenger dove of peace
over the wild, whirling waste Of snow.
The simpler it is the surer its errand
of mercy. The sooner it is sent the
more speedily it's tender balm is laid
on the aching heart. On the whole, it
is always very nearly safe to trust to
the early friendly impulse, and to dis
the later OBTAINING hand of

Queen Vic's Unfortunate Poem.

The first number of the new weekly,
The Magazine Journal, containing a
humorous poem attributed to her maj
esty before her marriage, has suddenly
been withdrawn from circulation. Upon
inquiry it appears that q high govern
ment official called upon the editor, Mr.
Stuart Robertson, and that gentleman,
in company with the subeditor, attended
later on.
MI. Stuart Robertson is naturally
somewhat reticent a. to what took place
at the interview, but he states that he
was most co%urteously received and that
as an ~inti,nation was conveyed to him
that the publication Of the lines would
be distasteful to the highest quarters he
unhesitatingly withdrew the number
from circulation. The poem in question
is simply a skit on the peculiarities of
the ministers of the day.-Irish Times.
