that it would be indiscreet for this
country to assume that it has no inter-

considered proper to take the bellieer-

While the Dutch in the West and the
British in the East made trade and
wealth derived from commerce, their
chief object, the object of the latter in
the West was to make settlements, to
establish a home, to dwell where they
could practice their religion free from
all interference and dlctation Their
distinct policy became, shaped as II
was by the course Of events at home,
TO found New England. This gave,
as between the British and the Dutch
a character of perseverance to the eff
forts of the former, who, being insulaI
and not at that time so exclusively de-
voted to commerce, were less vulner-
able than the latter by sea and not al
all by land.
The Puritan settlers were not guided
i'm their choice of territory by thirst foi
gain; they wanted to found nation
to begin again, breaking with the tra'
ditions of the past, in a place where
neither English law and Government
nor the English Church, as directed by
Laud and operating through the Stai
Chamber, could follow them. The pro-
cess of settlement was slow, but 1t was
sure; and the spectacle of a fundamen'
tai change wrought in the conditions
of human life and Government across
the Atlantic had a powerful inhuenc'

Bismarck's Tact.

An anecdote Is related of Bismarcks
early diplomatic career that shows a
pleasant degree of magnanimity on the
part of the future Chancellor of the
German Empire. Count Rechberg call
ed on his Prusslan colleague-Bismarck
to show him dispatch from his Gov
ernment, instructing the Count to vote
with Prussia at the next meeting OF the
Diet. Bismarck read the document,
and returned 1t to the Count, saying:
"This is evidently a mistake"
Rechberk in his turn looked at the
sheet and changed color. Instead of the
official letter he had, by mistake, hand
ed to Bismarck the secret instructions
he had received concurrently, calling
upon him. while openly countehancing
Prussia, to use his utmost endeavors to
cause the other German States to vote
against the measure. For moment
both statesmen looked at each other In
silence. Then Bismarck said:
Don't be upset. You never intended
giving me the letter. Ergo, you never
gave 1t me; ergo, l know nothing about
the whole matter."-Youth's Companion.
