resentment at having to give up in any
degree her place with you. My love to
your mother please, if she will have it.
II is only through her that get you.

YOU are not to think it tiaxen, and take

I am sorry for old people: their love
Of things they are losing is far more to
be reverenced and made room for than
ours of the things which will come to us
in good time abundantly.

each other quite in the same way; it is
not in nature for it to be 50. They can
not compare; only to the best that is in
them they do love each other after their
kind.
Don't ever expect me to spell the
names Of dead painters correctly: it is a
polteness one owes to the living, but the
famous dead are exalted by being spelt
pEonetcally as the heart dictates, and
become all the better company for that

II will be remembered that one Of the
West Point cadet witnesses spoke of
'plebe Of forgotten name who had never
been hazed-because he had whipped
everybody who had tried it. 1t appears
that Major John H. Parker of Sedalia,
Mo. now in theh Philippines with the
Thirty-ninth regiment, was the man. He
entered the academy, "a big, raw-boned
81. -footer, as strong as an OK, and ready
to fight at the drop of the hat The
hat dropped pretty often, and the upper
classmen dropped little oftener. Major
Parker did creditable service in Cuba.
where he was in charge of the Calling
guns.
Nov. 90 1S39.-Last night we summoned
the whole privy council for Saturday,
when the queen is to make her declara-
ton of marriage-a stranger position, I
think. than any woman was ever placed
III. They say she is excessively in love
with Prince Albert and that may help
ind olyaS in,
some respects; and though I am man,
! had rather marry without making
speech to my council on the subject
at all.
Nov. 23.-The queen has just made her
declaration of marriage at the council to-
Gay. 1t was, think the largest council
ever held-eighty five present; amongst
other the two dead men. Brougham and
the duke, whom the papers all but slew
last Monday. 1 like what she said
though there is nothing about the Pro-
testant line, and good deal about her
own feeling and her own happiness. You
will see the speech in the paper. The
queen read it in her usual clear. sonor-
Gus voice: but her hand trembled, and
she could hardly hold the paper She
wore the bracelet with Prince Albert's
portrait on her arm. Not the least inter-
esting part of the scene was the Duke
OF wellington, who is really very i'll and
| weak: but the gallant old gentleman
would be there. (Memoirs of Henry
Reeye.)
When tree and bush are comfortless,
And fields are piteous bare.
| A garden blooms upon my hearth,
And it is summer there.
/ From the gray logs qulescent length
! Burst the bright flowers of flame
Like the far Hastings of the stars,
/ Too rare for earthly name.
! Now rosy hearted. rosy-tipt,,
Their petals softly blow;
Now clear as water in the sun.
When the blue sky lies below.
And daintily they toss and sway
To the breath of soundless airs
/ The memories of wooing winds
That made the forest theirs.
! Oh, for the secret that the sun
Shares with the burning tree.
Elusive. sweet as the witching flow
OF water to the sea.
In thought I grasp the mystic word
| And 10. it hath no form.
I know t is dark without
| And here t is light and warm.
Blanche Bishop.
