TIE THRONE OF ENGLAND.

THE THRONE OF ENGLAND.
The throne Of England, SO splendid
in its rich trappings of silk, velvet,
and gold wire lace and tassels, is
simply an oid-fashioned. high backed
chair. 1t has been in use for more
900 years, but the ea'ly history Of the
old oaken relic and the name Of its
maker are both unknown. The wood
which composes this ''throne" is very
hard and solid, as may be imagined
when it is known that the char has
been ''kept in the dry and we'll cover
ed with rich cloth of various kinds
since the days of Edward |. The
back aud sides were formerly painted
in various colors. The seat is made
of rough sandstone. This stone, which
is believed to possess talisman powers,
is twenty-six inches in length, seven
teen inches in breadth, and nineteen
and half inches in thickness. Never
theless, legends are told in como elton
with this wonderful stone, but the
ruth probably is that it was originally
used in Scotland as CORONATION
stone," upon which the Scottish kings
re seated while undergoing the
cele,ncnis connected with beng
crowned "ki"g" ,f he realm of Scot
land.

THE RED ROCKS.

In sight of the Erie tracks, between
Susquehanna and Great Bend, are the
Red Rocks, red cliff standing above
the Susquehanna River. Near them
can be seen traces of the grave of a
beautiful Indian ma der, the daugh-
ter of famous chief. She was be-
trothed to young brave, member
of her fathers tribe, then encamped
near here. Her father desired her to
marry the son of chief of the neigh
boring Tribe, and the wish of the
paternal ancestor usually counted for
something.
In con equence she resolved to fly
to the 'harpy hunting grounds and
one night she stole noiselessly from
her wigwam, and, with the death
song on her lips, flung herself from
the high cliff, her life's blood stain
ing the rocks below. And to this
day they have retained the redish hue
which the rains and floods of centur,
have failed to efface.
When the maiden's lover saw her
mangled corpse, he retired to cave in
the mountains and never again Was
seen alive. Forty years later his
petriied body was found in the cave
by wandering remnant of the tribe.
Under his body were found the long
raven tresses of the old chiefs daugh-
ter.

THE BIG HAT IN CHCRCH.

I his is what happens to the man
behind the hat. The preacher disap-
pears until nothing remains but a
voice. And with the hat Standing
against the spot where the voice is.
and the modnlated sentences breaking
againat if, how is attention to be fixed
upon the sermon? The mind grows
lax, the quiet and sweetness Of the
sanctuary tend to distraction, the hat
fills the whole visible universe, and
involuntarily ones thoughts center
upon it. 1t IS wonderful construc-
ZION. There is yellow rose trembl-
ing on long stem with every move
ment of the wearer's head, and one
begins to calculate the extent Of its
arc. There are punches of feathers
disposed, apparently, wi h view to
preventing anything from being seen
between them whichever way the hat
is turned. And there are stalactites
Of ribbon, upright and immovable,
which sti | further obscure the horizon.
Occasionally one gets momentary
glimpse of the hand Of the preacher
Is it is stretched out in gesticulatlon,
but it seems a mere detached frag-
ment uselessly beating the air. The
preacher himself has disappearedas if
he had never b en-. The only thing
visable when the hat is turned for a
moment is another hat of the same
kind farther on.
