YOUNG ALFONSO A SCHOLAR.

Speaking of King Alfonso, it is said
that his may rightfully be called the
best educated head that lolls under the
weight of crown. He knows French,
he knows Italian, German and English,
and speaks his own language with
commendable precision. He never
travels without a pocketful of Goethe,
Schiller and the unfamiliar GrillparZer.
Horace is his favorite classic, whose
odes, many Of them, he has set to
pretty Spanish.
But this is not all. King Alfonso is
fond of mathematics. He revels in
logarithms. 1t is matter of grave
concern to him whether the line A B
equals the.line G d. History he is on
the most intimate terms with. and it is
said he can take up pencil any day
and draw.-Philadelphia Record.

pany.
The beginning of this charming story
is worth quoting and gives one an idea
of it's interest:
Il am an old maid and I glory in it.
Do you, however, properly understand
! what an old maid is? Perhaps L had
better explain. Who can explain better
than the old maid herself? She is a.
feminine human creature who has
grasped her youth to her heart and let
the waves of the years break over her
without letting the youngness go. She
is a person always young, because
from her the freshness of hope has
never departed. mean the hope Of
the future good and perfect thing that
is each souls birthright, and that never
fails of coming, whatever may be the
apparent delay. I do not mean any
such forlorn and trivial hope as the
hope Of ordinary marriage for it's name
and sake. An old maid is one to whom
| life is still promise; whom it has not
disappointed and can never disappoint
If she ever thought for a little trouble
some while that it was otherwise, she
got over that long ago. She turned
over new leaf and knows there is no
end Of new leaves to- be turned over.
The story is Of Biddy Forsythe a
most original and delightful young
woman, who, misunderstood at first,
gradually reveals herself to those she
loved and turns out to be a very queen
among women. The teller of the story,
the old maid of the. first page, is the dear
friend of all and brings up all the
neighbors' children, and nlarries them
to those they love. and the book closes
with her elderly romance. A most
beautiful story for girls, as Mrs. Whit
ney is wont to write.
