CLERICAL TALES.

Ali the crew had been saved, but
unconscious The curate turned to
the bystanders: How do you usually
proceed in the case Of one apparently
drowned?" ''S'arch his pockets"
At Unitarian church not far from
Boston last Sunday, after very spir-
itual sermon, a notice was sent UP
and read by the preacher as follows:
"Aql pie plates left after the fair
should be sent to Mrs. Loyejoy." The
congregation Uttered audibly.
An English clergyman was called
out to minister to an old man, work
er upon the railway, who was supposed
to be dying. The summons was
brought by an other old man, the elder
brother of the stricken one. While he
was bustling about, making prepare
tons for departure, the clergyman for-
got momentaHly the social status Of
his visitor and asked: rs he in ex'
tremis?" The old man was not going
to be beaten. AYE, he's right In
your reverence" After a pause he ad
ded, as a clincher: "Clean in pool
chap Right up to the neck, sir"

A LITTLE GIRLS WISH.

"Mayn't l be boy?" said our Mary,
The tears in her great eyes of blue,
I'm only a wee little lassie,
There's nothing a woman can do.
lis so, l heard Cousin John say SO,
He's home from great college, too
He said so, just now, in the parlor,
There's nothing a woman can do
My wee little lassie, my de Ring"
Said l, putting back her soft hair,
Il want you, my dear little maiden,
To smooth away all mothers care
is there nothing you can do, my
darling?
What was that pa said last night:
My own little sunbeam has been here
| know, for the room is so bright
And there is a secret, my Mary,
Perhaps you may learn it some day
The hand that is willing and loving
Will do the most work on the way,
And the work that is sweetest and
dearest,
The work that so many ne'er do.
The great work of making folks happy
Can be done by a lassie like you!"

ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN HAVANA.

That English is to be the language
of trade in Cuba is early evidenced by
the efforts of the Cuban and Span
ish merchants to learn the language
of the Yankee invaders. The more
progressive merchants have hired
clerks who speak English, and this
class Of labor is in great demand.
Others have clerks who think they can
speak English, and try to learn more
from their customers.
1t may be said to the credit Of the
Havanese that they pick up English
much quicker than the Americans
form speaking acquaintance with
Spanish. Latins seem to have the
facility Of acquiring languages not to
be found in the Anglo-Saxon, and we
may be sure that inside Of three
months English will be spoken in

RUMORS ABOUT ROYALTY.

II the German emperor is undoubt-
eddy the only sovereign preacher and
orator, Carmen Sylvia, the queen of
Roumania, is probably the only royal
parsonage who, besides being an au-
thor and poet, is a public lecturer.
For sometime past she has been ac-
customed to give lectures privately in
her palace to young ladies of the lead
ing families of her country. These lit
tie assemblies proved 50 attractive
that the requests for admission have
grown incOnvenient, so the the queen
has found it eXpedient to lecture in the
high school for all students who cared
to attend. Before she could do this.
however, she had to obtain a regular
teachers diploma, signed by the king
and the ROumanian minister of edu-
cation.
Apropos of Queen Victoria it is not
generally known that she is able to
write quite as we'll with her left hand
as with her right. For this dexteritg
she is indebted to her clever but I'M
popular mother, the Duchess of Kent,
who held unusual but eminently SEN
sIble views on the subject of education.
The Queen Of England and Empress of
India is probably the only sovereign
whom may thus be said to possess the
gift Of ambideXterity.
Count Seefrid, who some years ago
eloped with Princess Elizabeth OF Ba-
varia, being privately married at &C.
noa a week after their flight from
Munich, has just retired from the
army, to which he was trans
ferred by the emperor after being de-
prived Of his commission as a Bavar-
ian officer by the regent of Bavaria.
Francis Joseph has at length succeeded
in securing the young counts pardon
from the reigning family of Bavaria,
and although the count will not be re-
stored to the Bavarian army, yet he
will be allowed to take up his resi-
dence with is royal consort on his an
cestral estate at Bu6denheim.
