Lodging Not Boarding.

In one of the few letters that have
been preserved, written by Luttrell,
there are some amusing lines which
may thus be explained. The letter
was written from Dropmore to Rogers;
there had been some joke between them
about stingy friend, one of their
coterie, and Greek epigram appeared
to illustrate his misery characteristic.
Luttrell had translated the Greek, and,
as he says The following is as close
a fit as can make it in English"
Cries -, in his closet once spying a mouse:
Pray what business have you, little friend, in
my house"
Says the mouse, with a smile, to the lover OF
boarding:

To which might be added in theway
of retort courteous:

It's not possible, sab. He has weak

Set up on the corner of house, at
the juncture of two streets at the old
North End of Boston, is bust of Es-
culapius. For many, many years it had
been the visible sign that there is a
drug store below. Some time ago two
visitors to the city went prowling
about this ancient and historic ground
once so aristoeratic and now so squalid,
and they came upon the time-worn
bust, for the presence of which they
were not prepared. Still it seemed to
them noteworthy, and they went into
shop to ask about it. The clerk was
most obliging and courteous. 20,

he could to make, as he supposed, the
waters of true love run smooth.
1t soon became evident to him that
Luke had more than common fancy"
for Satira, and he did not stop to ques-
ton for a moment that she returned
the sentiment, so if he often hurt her
by his own GOODNESS and change of de-
meanor, he was unconscious of it, and
Aunt Jemima failed not to help along
the illusion that it was, as she eX-
pressed it, "a sure case between the
young folks"

you with your tiggers any more?"

Seems as if all at once he's got set

she went on adding, subtracting, null
tiplying and dividing, the pain in her
tender little heart growing heavier and
heavier as the slow minutes licked
away, for it was in vain that Gabriel
tried to seem his own natural self, and
in order to avoid making a fool OF
himself he assumed GOODNESS of de-
meanor that was chilling to her, SO
that it was with the utmost effort that

Princes and Princesses.

The English like to read about
princes and rrincesses, to gossip about
their doings and to utilize them for GER
emonials, but their positive liking for
them has rather narrow limits. They
will not allow them any political influ-
ence. they are desperately jealous of
their claim to appointments even i'll the
army, though princes fill these fairly
we'll, and they will not, when they can
help it. vote them any money to live OH.
1t will by and by be simply impossible
even to ask parliament for grants.
The real English feeling, we should
have said, is limited to the sovereign
and to those who must succeed her, the
throne rather tl-sn the royal family be-
ing the true object of the nations re-
gard.-London Spectator.

The Heavenly Rest.

The Heavenly Rest.
I notice that the most of the styles OF
toll require an erect attitude. There arc
the thousands Of girls behind counters,
many such persons through tho inhu-
mainly of employers compelled to stand,
even when because of lack OF custom
ers there is no need that they stand.
Then there are all the carpenters, and
the stonemasons, and the blacksmiths,
and the farmers, and the engineers, and
the ticket agents, and the conductors.
In most trades, in most occupations,
they must stand. But ahead Of all those
who love and serve the Lord is q resting
place, a complete relaxation of fatigued
muscle, something cushioned and up
hoIstered and embroidered, with thu
very case of Lc2vCds. They shall sit
down - Rest from toll, rest from pam,
rest from persecution, rest from uEcer-
tainty. Beautiful, joyous, transporting,
everlasting rest
Oh, men ard women Of the frozen
north, and the blooming south, and from
the realms OF Tho rising or setting sun,
through Christ get your sins forgiven
and start fer tho place where you may
at last sit down in blissful recovery
from the fatigues of earth, while there
roll over you the raptures of heaven.
Many of you have had such rCggh tus-
sic in this world that if your faculties
were not perfect III heaven you would
some time forget yourself and say, lit Is
time for mo to start on that journey,
or cit must be time for me to count cut
the drops of that medicine, " or Il Won

the mighty dominion over which no

factory to factory, meeting this loss and
discovering that inaccuracy and suffer

more to be cheated or perpleXed or eXas-
