Made Heir to a Throne.

Queen VictOria'S sons have inherited
from their father, the prince consort, a
petty principality and throne in Ger
many. This is Saxe-Coburg and Co
tina, duchy with a territory of $50
square miles, three-fourths of the area
Of Rhode Island, and a population ex-
ceeding 100000. 1t is not a stronghold
OF power and influence, but good deal
of money goes with it and makes it
werth while to keep it in the family.
The Prince of Wales renowned his
rights to the duchy because he was
heir to the English throne. The Duke
of Edinburgh accepted the inheritance,
but he has no son to succeed him. The
Duke of Connaught was the next in
line, but he and his son have renounc-
ed their rights. The heir to the throne
is the son of the late Duke of Albany,
the queens fourth son.
He is a schoolboy, in his fifteenth
year, and has no prospects in England.
He will now go to Germany to finish
his education and will cease to be an
English prince. He will owe allegiance
to the German emperor and will prob
ably serve his time in the army.
This Inheritance has been arranged
by Queen Victoria, whose will is law in
the English royal family. She has pro-
vided for one Of her favorite grandsons
snug and comfortable little throne on
the continent, where he will have little
to do and where his income will be
large.-Youth's Companion.

REEDS FAREWELL.

A recent issue of the Portland
Daily Press contains the following:
To the Republicans of the First
Maine District:
While / am naturally reluctant to
obtrude myself again upon public
sure no one would expect me to leave
the first Maine district, after so long
a service without some words express
ing to you my appreciation of your
friendship and my gratitude for your
generous treatment. Words alone
are quite inadequate and must ap-
peal to your memories. During three
and twenty years of political life, not
always peaceful, you have never
questioned single public act of mine.
Other men have had to look after
their districts. My district has
looked after me. This, in the place
where I was born, where you know
my shortcomings, as well as I do my
self, gives me right to be proud of
my relations with you. No honors
are ever quite like those which come
from home. 1t would not be just for
me to Withhold my thanks from those
democrats who have 80 often given
me their votes. This friendship I can
acknowledge with all propriety, even
in a letter to republicans, for both
they and you know that have never
trimmed sail to catch the passing
breeze or ever flown a doubtful flag.
Office, as "a ribbon to stick in your
coat" is worth nobody's considera-
ton. Office as opportunity is worth
all consideration.
That opportunity you have given
me untrammeled in the fullest and
amplest measure and 1 return you
sincerest thanks. If have deserved
any praise it belongs of right to you.
Whatever may happen, 1 am sure
that the first Maine district will
always be true to the principles of
liberty, self government and the
rights of man.

s"The wages of sin is deathr' ''The soul
that sinneth, it shall die!' Il will by
no means clear the guIlty!' Then there
was silence for half an hour, and the
ightnings were drawn back into the
scabbard of the sky, and the earth
ceased to culver, and all the colors of
the sky began to shift into a rainbow
woven out of the falling tears of Jesus,
and there was red as of She bloodshed-
ding, and there was blue as of the
bruising, and there was green as of
the heavenly foliage, and there was
orange as of the day dawn, and along
the line of the blue I saw the words,
81 was bruised for their iniquities,"
and along the line Of the red saw the
words, 1.-THE blood Of Jesus Christ
cleanseth from all sin," and along the
line of the green / saw the words, 1.-THE
leaves Of the Tree Of Life for the heal
ing of the nations" and along the line
Of the orange I saw the words, "The
day spring from on high hath visited
u.s." and then I saw the storm was
over, and the rainbow rose higher and
higher until it seemed retreating to
another heaven, and, planting one col
nal hill, and planting the other col
umn Of it's colors on the other side the
eternal hill, it rose upward and up
ward, land, behold, there was a rain
bow about the throne" Accept that
sacrifice and quit worrying. Take the
tonic, the inspiration, the longevity, of
this truth. Religion is sunshine; that
is health. Religion is fresh air and
pure water; they are healthy. Religion
is warmth; that is healthy. Ask all
the doctors, and they will tell you that
a quiet conscience and pleasant antici-
pat1ons are hygienic. l offer you per-
feet peace now and hereafter.
What do you want in the future
world? Tell me, and you shall have
it. Orchards? There are the trees
with twelve manner Of fruits, yield
ing fruit every month. Water scenery?
There is the river of Life from under
the throne Of God, clear as crystal, and
the sea of glass mingled with fire. Do
you want music? There is the oratorio
of the Creation led on by Adam, and
the oratorio Of the Red sea led on by
Moses, and the oratorio of the Messiah
led on by ST. Paul, while the archangel
with swinging baton controls the one
hundred and forty-four thousand who
make up the orchestra. Do you want
reunion? There are your children
waiting to kiss you, waiting to en-
brace you, waiting to twist garlands in
your hair. You have been accustomed
to open the door on this side the
sepulcher. I open the door on the 9TH
er side the sepulcher. You have been
accustomed to walk in the wet grass
on the top of the grave. 1 show you
the under side of the grave. The bot
tom has fallen out, and the long ropes
with which the pallbearers let down
your dead let them clear through into
heaven.
Glory be to God for this robust,
healthy religioni 1t will have a tenden-
cy to make you live long in this world,
and in the world to come you will have
eternal life. with long life will l

The Vicar of Bray.

The present vicar of Bray, the Rev.
Charles Andrewes Raymond, who has
been parish priest since 1887, writes:
''There can be no manner of doubt
that Simon Aleyn, or Alleyn, was the
vicar of the old proverb, afterward
used to give point to satirical
Georgian song. Nor can the only other
parish of Bray in the British isles
that situated in Wicklow-be meant,
for the Irish Bray is a rectory, not a
vicarage"
