Didn’t Think Any More of Him.

The Queen has often made visits, both of pleasure and policy, to her estate in Scotland, being at such times more than heartily welcomed by the canny Scots, who, almost without exception, highly reverence her and indorse all that she does. On one occasion, shortly after a visit to her estate in the outskirts of Balmoral, Mr. Henry Irving, who was traveling through the country, met an old Scotch woman, with whom he spoke of her Majesty. “The Queen is a good woman,” he said. “I suppose she’s gude enough, but there are things Icanna bear.” “What do you mean?” asked Mr. Irving. “Well, I think tfiere are things that even the Queen has no right to do. For one thing—she goes rowing on the lake on Soonday—and it’s not a Chreestian thing to do.” “But you know the Bible tells us ” “I knaw,” she interrupted, angrily. “I’ve read the Bible ever since I was so high, an’ I knaw every word in’t. I knaw aboot the Sunday fishing, and a’ the other things the good Lord did, but I want ye to know, too, that I don’t think any the more, e’en of Him, for adoing it.”— Exchange. A man cannot tell what the needs and rights of women and children are, because he is not one of them. He will remember well enough, however, that he did not run to his father but to his mother for comfort in his infancy; and this will'be a sufficient argument, if he be a fair-minded man, to show him that in the management of women and children, women ought to have an authoritative say. —Toronto Week. History is a voioe forever sounding across the centuries the laws of right and wrong. Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity.— Froude. Hotel elevators in England, or, as they are called, “lifts,” are continually getting out of order, and would, seem to be defective in construction.
