The old soldier obeyed his instructions but as soon as he rose from his seat, Mr. Kverett extended his arm and exclaimed: "Sit down, venerable sir—sit down! It is for us to stand in your presence."

The old hum obeyed tho direction, but in jthe simplicity of his heart he was quite bewildenrd by such contradictory orders, lie had no idea how effects were produced in oratory, and he afterwards said to a friend

I don't know what Mr. Kverett meant. First, hctold me to get up, and then, when I j^ot up, he told me to sit down."

QHKKN ISABKI-LA did not make the renouncing of her throne a mournful business. She made a gala toilet for the occasion, wearing a rose-colored silk dress profusely covered with a white lace, a splendid parure of pearls, and a diamond girdle and with that command of countenance which seldon fails to reward long practice in the performance of royal functions, put on an extremely merry look. As she took her seat in a throne-room, Don Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, her eldest son, stood on her right hand, simply dressed in a short black jacket and knickerbockers. Queen Isabella made a short speech to the assembled witnesses before she read her abdication. When the ceremony was over, tho j'outhful king of Spain, apparently not particularly impressed by the honois conferred upon hiin, rushed up to the Duke of Sesto, and said: "You haven't seen my new velocipede come into the garden and look at it!"

Everett was preparing a

lecture, or address, ho is said to have been in the habit of arranging everything verv carefully beforehand. When about to deliver a speech at Lexington in commemoration of the baltlo on the l'.lth of April, 177.r), ho inquired wheth er any who had fought on that occa sion were still living. Being informed that only one man survived, he called upon him, and, after some conversation concerning the events of the Hevolu tion ho said

In my address I shall make an allusion to those who fought at the battle of Lexington. I want vou to sit in front of me, and when I begin to allude to those heroes I want vou to stand up."

ric Jontaut, having reviewed the ranks of Frence society, determined that Mademoiselle de Boufllers should be the bride elect of his son. She was the granddaughter of the Ma whole do Luxemburg, a very great, fine lady, with a very great, bad reputation. The choice would have been a good one had the young Lauzun been of that wav of thinking but he had never seen Iier. The young lady was, nevertheless, destined, as the deserted wife of the roving Luuzun, to attract no small degree of attention, and even of commiseration. She had not the brilliant qualities likely to attract the notice of a Lauzun for, although she was pretty and elegant, she was timid, gentle,' and retiring. But Horace Walpolo admired her, even the spiteful Madame de Defand found something exquisite in her graceful shyness, and the misanthrope, Jean Jacques Rousseau, speaks with something like enthusaism of little kisses which he was allowed to. give to her cheek when she was a child. Moreover to do justice to Madame la Mareehale de Luxemberg, who was looked upon iis«ii kind of Messalina retraile—she relly had brought up her granddaughter in an exemplary manner. —(Infantry and the (Guillotine.
