Surprising knowledge.

A certain English baronet who
had a dense and absolute ignorance
of books and past events took o no.
ton to be presented to his king,
George iii. The baronet lived near
q spot where one of tho most cele-
brated battles had been fought dur
ing the wars of the roses, but of that
fact he had never CHANGED to hear.
His mind was set upon more tangi-
BILE things. He had no use for in
formation which was not "up to
date"
When he was presented to his
sovereign, the king, who had looked
him up and was prepared with the
right thing to say, remarked .gra-
ciously, You come from the scene
of very celebrated battle, under
stand, Sir William?"
well, your majesty" was the
answer, Il did have a round or two
with the blacksmith, but I'm very
much surprised that your majesty
should have heard of it. Youth s

THE WORLD is NEW.

When spring with maiden tenderness
Steals shyly hither to caress,
To gladden. with her pretty mirth
Our happy, fow'r beGizened earth,
MY dear, my dear, what pageant days
Will greet Us in the country waysl
What Eden joys come back again
When hawthorns whiten down the lanei
The little wistful moon. my friend,
Will peep above the gable end
And sec the hillside orchard white
with blossom all the fervent night
The cottage panes viii glow at dusk,
Inc darkness gather, sweet with musk,
And weary kline with tagging feet
Pass lowing down the village street,
And then at daybreak, bark, oh, hushi
Beneath the stars the early thrush
Plping while heaven glimmers gray
bis morning carol, clear and CAV.
de sang that self same song, you know,
In paradise long years ngo
And keeps estranged from all regret
His warm. brave heart, unvanouished yet
For him, for US, the world is new
When daisied meadows CLEAN with dew.
All, not to us the times seem late
Who come bit now to love and mate,
Content to deem it is @aost wise
10 watch life out with tranquil eyes,
10 kiss warm lips and win thereby
A little comfort ere we die.
