Editor Register-Great was the as
constituent caused by the announce
lment that the cider brother Of the Reg
lister, who had hitched his wagon TO a
Star-that is, the Washington Even
ing Star-and had so long been holding
on bravely in his life of single blessed
ness, marching in the van Of that stall
'wart cohort who had loved, mated and
lost, yet were going on ever cheerfully
had at last deserted and gone over TO
the ranks of the meek Benedictines.
Well-a-day! Who is safe? He was
the last to suspect of such treachery
to his expressed determination to hold
on bravely and be faithful to his COM
panion widowers. II recalls Macauley's
anecdote of an old courtier Of James
the Second, when his daughter Mary
and her William of Orange, by invita-
ton of a majority of the English Barons,
came over to Dust James and set up
liberal government. Every morn
ing at the court some one would turn
up missing, having gone over to the
enemy, which would call forth from the
gentleman a very earnest Est It pos
sible ?" Is it possible? But one morn
ing he himself became conspicuous by
absence, when the old King remarked:
"What, old Est it possible-is he gone
too ?" Well, anyway the old man made
the right choice in going over TO the
bloodless revolution, which made
England free, and is even now the
source OF all the good institutions in
America. So we may hope that friend
Will has made the right choice, and
that his own genial heartineSs will
light up the fire on his new family
hearth, and he may there pass his lie
in happiness and peace. Meanwhile,
we on the outside in the cold will close
the ranks and marcn on.
