THE SEQUEL TO THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH'S CHESTNUT TREE. ** By Hesir W. LONGFELLOW. Am I a king, that I should call my own

This splendid obon throne? Or by what reason, or what right divine,

Can I proclaim it mine...

Only, perhaps, by right divine of song

It may to me belong; Only because the spreading chestnut-tree

Of old was sung by me."

Well I remember it in all its prime, When in the summer-tima

The effluent foliage of its branches made

A cavern of gool shade.

Ita blossoms white and sweet Enticed the bees, until it seemed alive,

And murmured like a hire.

And when the winds of autumn, with a shout,

Tossed its great arme about, The shining chestnuts, bursting from the

sheath,

Dropped to the ground beneath.

Next to the missionaries King Catewayo a-emed to have a particular objection to the medicine of the whites. Magems had pointed out to his Majesty that the land was governed by witchcraft," "I know," continued Magama, "that you are wiser than other men; I thought, also, that as wisdom advances gradually day by day, therefore wo of the present time must be wiser than the generations that have passed. I do not approve of that matter of the wizards; it is bad; they are madmen; the rule of the King will not come clearly into the light if he allows himself to be governed by Why, in Zululand the ob practices. sverein power lathe wizards; and the judges are the wizards also; for there is not a base heard in which the accused han not been amelled out beforehand by wizards."

It is better to amuse people than to grieve them. Printers can well afford to pass the ever-growing collections of typographical errors smilingly by, and patiently wait for the coming of the author who will, in ou untechnical way, tell the reading publio something of the disadvantages under which the average compozitor labors. The wonder is not that typographical blunders are com- mitted, but that so few of them are made. Lot any thinking person take up a daily paper at the breakfast-table, and reflect that the greater portion of the contents of the sheet was in the inkstands and unused lead pencils a few hours before; that the news passed through several hands, all liable to error, before it reached the printer; that the editorials and locals were written at lightning speed, in a dozen different scrawle; that there was scant time for correcting proofs-then the fair-minded reader will marvel that he can find so few mistakes, and perhaps laugh less heartily over the next new collection of printer errors.

BEACONSFIELD'S-LIBRARY. The comfort which we are taught to look for in every English home is found for the is half a library and balf a drawing-room. There are plenty of tomes but no dust. The light is abundant, and falls as often on brilliant hangings as on sober binding; and evidently no hangings are too brilliant for the toate of the occupant. Rich oriental yellows predominate in the decorations, but there is an oriental harmony in the fittings of the apartment, taken as a whole, The bookbinder's lines of gold on the volumes here and there catch up and carry out the colors, as an artist would say, from one end of the room to the other, and the place is filled with bits of bric-a-brac which serve the same end. Yonder huge knife in its case of gold is one of the owner's me- morials of Eastern travel. He was but a boy then, and he had a marked boy's tasto for these glittering toys. Copies of the Revue des Deux Mondes lying on the table show, if not the tastes, at least the ne- cessities, of his maturer age. These two numbers are the very last books he has been consulting. The paper-knife marks them. The reader has but just left them, to take them up again when he returns to the room. Evidently the hero of the Berlin Congress desires to see what bis neighbors think of his Eastern policy. Who was it put about the story that Lord Beaconsfield knows no Freuch? Another lie gone the way of the rest!
