years have been shorter and less fire.
quent, says London Truth. He is the
most popular prince of his time in
France. They used to say that II ho
were pretender, we might expect a res
toration OF the monarchy. He must be
like the duchess Of Kent, who had a
deal OF human nature of a kindly,
healthy sort. and was fond, almost to
the degree of mania, of making pres
ents. The prince is always buying Jew
elry to give away, and hardly ever
buys anything for himself In Rue dc
lie Paix shops. He is quite free from
self-consciousness, is naturally affable,
and lets nature lead him. It has been
remarked in France that in public his
tact Is never at fault. He never makes
one feel he Is the prince Of Wales, and
never lets one forget It. Yet he Is IN
yielding on points Of precedence. The
prince is ocardier without being a jim
go. He stands by his colonies and
thinks the kingdom OF England as good
as no matter what empire. At the ex-
hibition ceremonies of 1873 he always
walked abreast with Marshal MacMa-
hon, then head Of the state. How. he
did exert himself to give luster TO ths
British section Of that exhibition! The
English require Of the prince a life Of
busy idleness, dinner-eating, philan-
thropy and publicity. He does what
he ear to satisfy them, and always
with q good grace. One wonders how
he has kept so much freshness and
good humor. A less natural and &C.
NAL person must have long ago be-
come morose, or an unsympathizing
stick" A society Of selfish and mu-
tually repulsive units needs him to give
them cohesion. He is constantly 60
ing among them to render that service.
They are material as they can be.
What a misfortune to be their central
parsonage! Is 1t to be wondered at II
they never seek to catch his sociaole
qualities or his unaffected heartiness?
But the CATERS, the patent-leather
boots, the gardenia in the button-hole
the red cravat are copied. What is as
tonishing is that the prince remains
amusable. The child that, happily, has
survived in the man, comes out more
freely in France and Germany than in
England.

Must Love Men.

Every relation to mankind, Of hate
or scorn or neglect, is full Of vexation
and torment. There is nothing to do
with men but to love them; to contem-
plate their virtues with admiration,
their faults with pity and forgiveness,
Task all the ingenuity of your mind
to devise some other thing, but you
can never find 1t. To hate your adver-
sary will not help you; to kill him
will not help you; nothing within the
compass of the universe can help you
but to love him. But let that love
flow out upon all around you, and
what could harm you? How many
knot of mystery and misunderstanding
would be united by one word spoken
in simple and confiding truth of heart
How many a solitary place would b.
made glad II love were there, and how
many a dark dwelling would be filled
with light!
