CAN YoU BLAME 7H EMP

There is no doubt that the coronation
 of King Edward will be a great show,
 but some parts of it will be very funny and fantastic to those who don't care
 much about things just because they are old. It appears that there are even some Englishmen who don't want to be made ridiculous to keep up an ancient custom For instance, the barons of the Cinque ports. They have declared that they will not wear the ancient cos tune of scarlet with trunk hose and Spanish velvet hat, with ostrich feath- CTS, in which they are entitled to ap- pear. They don't think they can look or act the part and they aren't going to try it. They are wise men. They would feel ridiculous in the gay clothes and they would look ridiculous. If all the people in the show who will look ridiculous in the rigs they will wear should decide not to wear them there would be a great deal less to see than there will be. But fortunately there are many who are willing to do the correct thing even if they do look funny.

Inc NinIse'A petitiOm.

1 o hear pensive prisoners prayer,
 For liberty that signs; And never let thine heart be shut Against the Wretchs cries. For here forlorn and sad l sit, Within the wiry gate; And trembling at the approaching morn
 Which brings impending fate. If c'cr thy breast with freedom glowed,
 And spurned a tyrants claim, Let not thy strong oppressive force
 A free-born mouse detaln. o do not stain with guiltless blood
 Thy hospitable hearth Nor triumph that thy wiles betrayed
 A prize so little worth. The scattered gleanings of feast
 My frugal meals supply; But if thine unrelenting heart
 That slender boon deny The cheerful light, the vital air,
 Are blessings widely given; Let Natures commoners enjoy The common gift of heaven. The well taught philosophic mind
 To all compassion gives; Casts round the world an equal eye And feels for ali that lives. If mind-as ancient sages taught A never-dying flame. still shifts through matters varying forms In every form the same; Beware, lest i'll the worm you crush brothers soul you find, And tremble lest thy luckless hand Dislodge q kindred mind Or, if this transient gleam of day Be all of life we share. Let pity plead within thy breast That little all to spare. So may thy hospitablc board
 With health and peace be crowned; And every charm of heartfelt ease Beneath thy roof be found. So when destruction turks unseen. Which men, like mice, may share, May some kind angel clear thy path, And break the hidden snare.
