nor did you ask. Moreover, how could it have been possible for one young lady, already engaged hard and fast, to be engaged at the same time to another person 2 Then to ease the embarrassment of bride and mother-in-law, some one quoted the words of the sages that "in seeking a wife vinue should be first sought after and then beauty; beauty with- out virtue makes a household a hell, whereas virtue without beauty crowns a family with heavenly light." Peace was then made and the persecuted bride has obtained a baven of rest at last. But the go-between remains to mourn the Inas of one half of the reward which had been promised him at the conclusion of the nuptials by the shrewd materfamilias.
LOUISE A REVERIE.
A late cablegram, informs us that the Sovereign Lady who governs the Empire and defends its faith for a trifle over £600,000 a year, has applied to her Parliament for an additional £10,000 per annum to supply her grandson with pocket money, and a yearly subsidy of £3,000 for her granddaughter's dot. The princess, a young woman of two or three-and-twenty, is about to wed person named Duff-none of the home papers appear to give more than two-thirds of his name whose descent from the nobleman that bisected the bloody Macbeth is established by a chain of evidence every link of which will stand any reasonable strain. As a rule, it is not wise to examine genealogical tables too closely, especially when, asin the present case, thefirst loop of the vinculum is hitched to a Scottish aristocrat of the 11th century. In all long genealogical descents occasional breaks may be expected- fractures that seldom thoroughly unite, in spite of the care taken by posterity to weld the broken parts. It would be wrong to judge high-born people whetherofthe present or of the past by the standard of morality or fair-dealing which the lower orders of society-such as tradesmen, artisans, labourers and domestics are supposed to reach. Noble lords and dames are so exposed to temptations unknown to their inferiors that it would be absurd to expect them to conform rigidly to rules intended for the vulgar only. Thus morality, like law, resembles a net, which catches little fishes but allows big ones to break through. Eccentricities of lineage are avoided by those nations which trace descent through the female. The wisdom of this method is too obvious to be more than mentioned. The risky nature of the other plan has found expression in the homely proverb concerning the wisdom of the child that knows its own paternal relative. The case, ton, with which ambitious men can be sup. plied with pedigrees to their liking may be fitly illustrated by the Victorian Knight who, for a modest expenditure, was accommodated with Owen Glendower as an ancestor. Had the outlay been greater it is pretty certain that a Plantagenet or a Norman monarch would have been found in the direct line. It is time to return to Alexander William George Duff, sixth Earl of Fife, and his intended wife, the princess Louise, daughter of our coming King Owing to the care taken of the family estates during the long years since Mac. "put a head" on Cawdor by removing his proper one; as well as to the opportunities afforded by the Reformation, and the three succeeding centuries for securing Church lands, and enclosing corn- inons, the Earldom of Fife is now worth at least £70,000 a year, exclusive of what are known in some circles as the "puckwisits" arising from holding a stick at Court ceremonials and dress ing like a mediaval merry andrew, The present holder of the title is a blast of 40, It is to pro- vide his fiance with pin-money, and her brother with an establishment, that a royal knock, which resounds through the Empire, has once more been heard at the door of the British Treasury. Let us see what the knocker and her's have done for the land of their adoption.

came amiss to him if she were only very willing and very fat." For 13 years this estimabl monarch defended with such success the faith of which he did not belleve a word, that every bishop in the kingdom declared heaven to b the only haven for so wise, so prudent, and an kind a master.
The tala of the four Georges and of their immediate successor has been told too often and too well to be inore than glanced at here. Indeed." no reference would have been made to such a humiliating chapter in the history of a great nation but for the necessity of enying something con erning the progenitors of the young people who, bred to uselessness, now demand support from a society to whose wolfvre they contribute nothing-a society to which, but for the marvel Tous flunkeyism of its members, might be trusted to treat such claims with derision. It migh be told how George II., a creature too mean even for ridicule, spent eighty millions of British money to subsidise continental harpies and defend Hanover now, when the third of the name occupied the throne, the Britens who would never submit to be slaves spent, at the bidding of a madman, £140,000,000 to lower the flag of one nation, and 1,000,000,000 to haul down that of another; how the first gentleman in Europe had the education of a scullion, the manners of a dancing-master, and the inorals of a trull, and how the sailor-king was usually mistaken for a boatswain when he wasn't taken for a circus-clown. But, as the history of these drali people is within the reach of all, enough has been said to invite attention to the singular, circumstance of a powerful State's having searched among foreigners for a family suffi cictly stupid and depraved to rule when so many septs of the kind could be found at home. Truly, it is not without justice that society has been compared to a flock of pigeons in which, out of a hundred birds, ninety-eight are strong, hearty and active, while two are weak and useless The strong gather grain in quantities for the wenk, thus prolonging valueless lives. To com. plete the analogy it is but necessary to mention the fact that-if one of the industrious gatherers gets sick and attempts to take a few grains from the store he helped to fill, the others fall on him and pluck him in pieces.

20,000,000. This estimate, although high, is probably within the mark, as it is next impossible to obtain a true balance-sheet owing to the innumerable perquisites of royalty.

But what. does this royal person do with impunity? She charges the nation some £170,000 per annum for the maintenance of her able-bodied sons, daugh- ters, and relatives." Nor is this all. The army is commanded by a cousin who, had he enlisted, might perhaps have become bombardier or even full corporal, but could scarcely qualify for the | poal of sergeant ; while one of the bravest fleets that sails the seas is led by a middle-aged prince, who receives about £30,000 a year for fiddling badly in the Mediterranean,

But until he showed a disposition to confine ecclesiastical privileges within narrower bounds the Church of England made no sign.

It was the folly of James that paved the way for the present reign. fog House 26 years after his fall." And, surely, since the Prophet Samuel warned the Jews against choosing a king to reign over them, no El Dorado has ever been discovered by mankind that will compare with the one on which the Guelph family pegged out its claim nearly two | centuries ago. It was, on rising from a peruszl of the lives of the Georges and the grotesque William that the American editor wrote in the bitterness of his soul: "Britons never shall be slaves ! | D-n them, they've never been any- thing else."

What has this foreign family done that during the long period of 175 years its members and dependents have had English gold in billions and English lives in millions to pour out like water? Have its scions been distinguished by any of the characteristics that with meaner mortals command respect? Have they been talented, sober, honourable, liberal or humane good fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, hus. bande or wives? Such questions provoke a smile. Their talents were those of the tramp and the lady's-maid, while, of the other attri butes mentioned, the less said the better. The first George counselled those who followed his fortunes to England to lay their bands on everything within reach, as there was no know, ing when they would be served with a writ of efectment.
