And knows not the lust of gold. i lweary the English got of her pmlonged mourning, and her determination not to be seen ; what part avarice may have had in this deliberate seclusion I do not know. But certainly she is not fond of spending much money. Those who have seen her of late years have beheld a very plain lady with a very red faceâ€"that heavy face of the Georveswand a short dumpy figure. Her only beauty is a very small, exquisite white hand. It is a peculiarity of her family. Her uncles had it eminently. Her manners are very dignified ; they even give her height. She wears her great rank worthily in this respect, knowing, to the last shadow of a shade, just how much afiability to show. . The rumored disaffectiou of the Queen with tho Prince of \Valcs was probably true. She, however, melted toward him, mother- like, during his illness, and watched by him and prayed for him tenderly. She dislikes his lady friends~those fast women of Eng- land who have brought him into disrepute. Her court has ever been one of the strictest morality until the Prince began his flirta- tions. The very popular and good little 1Princess of \Vales is an immense favorite, No sailor he on stormy sea, No soldier, trumpet stirred; And he shuns the town and the haughty frown Of the courticrn' fawning herd.

Perhaps some spouginrr censor went over the her by her books, but they speak loudly for her heart. They are pure and sweet pictures of domestic happiness, love of Nature, and soft and womanly affection. One lady of high rank in England told me the Queen al- ways bowed and kissed her hand to her chil- dren. She is remarkably fond of children, and takes much notice of them.

There are many different ways of getting on in the world; it does not always mean making a great deal of money, or being a cat man for people to look up to with won- ( er. Leaving off a bad habit for a. good one, is getting on in the world ; to be clean and tidy, instead of dirty and disorderly, is get- ting on in the world ; to be careful and sav- ing, instead of thoughtless and wasteful, is getting on ; to be active and industrious, inâ€" stead of idle and lazy, is gettting on ; to be kind and forbearing, instead of ill-natured and quarrelsomc, is getting on ; to work as diligently in the master‘s absence as in his presence is getting on ; in short, when we see any one properly attentive to his duties, pcrsevcring through such difficulties to gain such knowledge as shall be of use to himself and others, offering a good example to his relatives and acquaintances, we may be sure thatlic is getting on in the world. Money is a very useful article in its way, but it is possible to get on with very small means; for it is a mistakc to suppose that we must wait for a good deal of money before we can do anything.

They would not Swear to It. When the late Rev. Dr. Guthrie, of Edin- bur h, was minister at Arbirlot, in the prcsiytcry of Arbroath, one of his co-presby- ters was charged with the crime of drunken- ness, and was dealt with accordingly. \Vhen investigating the case, many witnesses were called and examined by the presbytery ; but most of them, looking more with pity on the misery to which deposition would reduce the minister’s wife and family than to the inter- ests of rcli rich and the Church in such a case, were foun unwilling to say anything that might condemn him, or lead to such a result. They all believed they had seen the minister drunk, and had heard him talk arrant non- sense in the )ulpit, but they would not swear or say so. ‘hcir answer was this, "\Ve'll no say, for less swear, he was drunk ; he might have been sick, or something 0' that ' kind, wha kens Y" The presbytery, seeing this, fell on another way of getting at the l truth. This was by asking them, not whether he was drunk, but whether, without saying for a fact that he was so, it was their impres- sion at the time that he was. Following this plan, when it was brought out that on a par. ticular Sunday evenin the minister had lolled over the side of t is 1pulpitâ€"being, in fact, unable to stand uprig tâ€"aud said that he loved his people so much that he would carry them all to heaven on his back, Mr. Guthrie asked the witness, a strong partisan of the offending party, “Now, J 01111, when you heard him say so, what impression did so strange a speech make on you ? ’ “ “'eel,” he replied, “Maister Guthrie, I’ll just tell ye what I thocht. There was a great fat wife, ye see, sitting in the seat before me ; and, thinks I, my lad, if ye sot ail' to the kingdom o‘ heaven wi’ that wife on yer back, my certie, yo’ll no be back for the rest (1‘ us in a hurry.

It is very noteworthy how many of the best novels of the present day touch with more or less distinctiveness upon ucstions of religious belief. \Ve set asulc, 0 course, those many storiesâ€"sonic excellent of their kind, others the veriest I‘llDDlSIb-Wlllcll are confosscdly stories with a purpose, written to advocate some favorite View, in which the illustration of certain theological tenets is of the very essence of the book. In these, if we only know the name of the authorâ€"some- having the old Field Notes of the late D. times a fairly accurate guess may he arrived the possession of five languages, all of which she speaks fluently, except Latin ; the facul- ty of painting well in water-colors, and some cleverness in modelling in clay. She has ac- quired some knowledge of Indian dialects, finding it necessary from her possessions in conquered India ; her readinn is vast and various, as we learn by her lbooks, and by her occasional letters to the authors. Yet, with all this culture, she cannot be called an intellectual woman; she has no genius, unless it be for affairs. Probably, in a less exalted station, she would have made a very good and frugal housekacper. She has certainly knpt her large and various household in good order so far. She is very kind and thoughtful about the sick. The attention to poor Mrs. \Varner, the actress, who died wearily of a cancer, and at whose disposition she placed one of the royal carriages, was much remarked, and gave great comfort to the )001‘ sufferer. l t seems very little to us, who remember her vast powers of doin good, but we must also remember how muc 1 Is expected of her, and now much she has to think of.

AN AMERICAN OPINION OF HER. i [From the San Francisco News Letter] It is a very hard thing to find out the truth about to al personages. They are so envir- oncd ani shut out by the chain-mail of eti- uette that they can onl be known to very few people. Those peop 6 who do know are, of course, very shy of talking of them, espec- ially in England where royalty seems to af- fect the mind with a fever of adoration, and where speech becomes eulogiuin as soon as you say, “ Her Majesty."

Of course, we believe that she is individually a. cipher, and that her ministers have done the work ; but we must not forget that, had not the Queen had some elements of greatness, she could have made her ministers a. vast amount of trouble, and England less great than it is. She married her cousin, Prince Albert. A happier marriage never blessed a throne. In looking back over the thirty-three years of devoted wifehood and singularly deep grief at the loss of her husband, one must respect Queen Victoria.

Her reception of Miss Grant was warm and friendly. She intended it to be stately, and such as she would have given to a Princess. But the good sense and simplicity of the American girl forbade that. Perhaps neither of the two imagined then that the daughter of our President was to become a. loyal subject of per Majesty, as her marriage has since madc icr. 011 the whole, looking closely at the pri» vate character of Queen Victoria, as derived from conversation with some who knew her best, from her books, and from all we can see of her life, it is a character greatly to be respected. I t is not an unusually great character, like Prince Albert's, nor a wonder- fully masculine mind, like that of Queen I‘llizabeth, She is not a Semiramis or a Ze- iiobia. She has not the charm of the latter, i or the genius of the former, but she has been a better Queen for England to-day than ei- ther would have been. It was once said wisely of monarchs that the world must thank them if they escape being great mon- stcrs. “ That great white light which shines upon a throne” is a hard light to live in. liad Queen Victoria been a great genius and a great beauty, she might have ruined lingv she did it at the expense of F rance. The Queen has suited the eminently home terrace with the Prince Leopold; the day before with the Princess Beatrice, who, by the way, is the prettiest of her dau htcrs. Her 3 eckless morality is the )rightcst jewel in er crown ; that and her undoubted love for England, her devotion to her hus- band, living and dead, and her faithful de- votion to her kindred and old friends, will remain to praise Queen Victoria, when even the glories of her Indian Empire, and the splendid pageants which she summons at \Viudsor when she entertains an Emperor, or in London when she drives to her famous written to the Imauin of Muscat or the Khan ..a .5 . .__.‘_,_-.__.._‘.___ 4.___._...

These mines contain enormous trees buried to a depth varying from three to ten feet. The logs lie one across another. and there is abundant evidence that they are the growth of different successive forests. Indeed, in those very swamps forests of the same trees are now growing. ’ The minors become very skilful at their work. An iron rod is thrust into the soft mud, over which often the water lies. In striking a buried tree the workman will by several soundings at last tell how it lies, which is its root end, and how thick it is. He then manaocs to get a chip of the tree and by its smell determines at once whether it is worth the labor of mining ; that is, the workman will tell iincrringly whether the tree be a windfall or a breakdown. l f a breakdown, it was so because it was decayed when standing; if a windfall, the tree fcll while sound, and has been preserved ever since by the antiseptic nature of the peat marsh in which it was buried. The soft earth is then removed. This makes a pit in the swamp. Into this the water soon flows and fills it up. This is rather an advantage.

When on a Saturday afternoon the door at the side of the platform in Chickering Hall and a" “If “f fin” pencd, and a small dapper man entered \Vith the self-possession of a gentleman used to every society, he seated himself at the in- strument, and having drawn oil“ his gloves, 11c laid his long, thin fingered, and slight hands upon his knees, and glanced abstractcdly and Sideways at the audience. \thn he lifted his hands and touched the keys, the volume of sound was extraordinary, and the clear full, defined character of every note was most satisfactory. It was an exclusive Bccthoven concert, and the impression above all was that of the profoundest and most appreciat- nig reverence 0f the master and the music, served by the most marvelous technical skill. The concert throughout was the conclusive evidence of the progress of our musical taste. From De Meyer crouching and sprawling over the piano in the old Tabernacle to the perfect classic refinement and tranquil supremacy of Von Biilow in Chickcring Hall the distance and the advance were prodigious. The last was as severely intent u )on the best and the highest as the first was ( evofcd to the mere leasing and popular effect. It was the dif~ ) lercuce in manhood between a voluptuai'y and a devotee. The spectacle was remarkable. The great audience filling the hall was absolutely silent and intent upon the player, who, swaying un- coiiscrously with the current of the strain, constantly regarded the listeners with a. reâ€" mote and serene aze, looking suddenly wherever a fan or a andkercliicf moved ab~ ruptly, or there was the least disturbance of the stillness. He had evidently assumed the interest of the audience in the finest music as of course, and his manner was that of assured sympathy, not inviting ap )lause, but con- scious that the more perfectly he )laycd, the more intelligently the hearers would approve.

There were those who called Von Biilow cold, passionless, intellectual, unin- teresting. But no one who cares for music or for Beethoven could think the most compre- hensive intelligence of him, revealed with matchless skill, uninteresting. The personal- ity of the player was not picturesque and fascinating, like that of his friend, the other master, but it is not to be doubted that the one man in the world who knows how great an artist Von Biilow is, is Rubenstein. Ashe arose from the piano, the applause showed how genuine was the admiration, and that their was entire sympathy between the artist and the audience. It persisted, while he bowed repeatedly and retired, and it compell- ed him to return and at length to seat himself again at the instrument. \Vithout flourish, and with respectful deference to the charac- ter of the concert and the taste of his hear- ers, he played for the recall not a pretty waltz or a tickling melody, but the aduye'o from Beethoven’s Sonata Pathetiquc, one of his truest and most characteristic move. ments, sad, yearning, tender, and full of re- jclly cake pans ; bake in rather a quick oven. lifted out Of a "10de 5.6% The recent 9%".

But even in those which assume no such didactic ofliCe, and whose writers would fairly repuâ€" diate any such design as proselytism, the great problems of religion, instead of being tacitly ignored, or disguised in vague gener- alities, are assumed as having a momentous influence upon human life. They are not brought prominently to the foreground, perâ€" haps, but they are evidently present to the mind of the writer as elements of grave Im- portance. If our generation be indeed so ir- reverent aiid irreligious as it is said to be, the traces of character are not to be found in our highest works of fiction. If tliere'is any skepticism in them, it is skepticism in the better sense of the word.
