“IT have suffered for years from a bronchial trouble that, whenever I take cold or am exposed to inclement weath- er, shows itself by a very annoying tickling sensation in the throat and by difficulty im ‘breathing.

Gieanings From My Common-place a Books.
2ees ON THE STUDY OF HIsTORY.
History, beyond all other studies, is cal- culated to enlighten the judgment and enlarge the understanding. Every page conveys some useful lesson, every sentence has i‘s moral ; and its range is as boundless | as its matter is various. It is accordingly admitted, as an indisputable axiom, that there is no species of literary composition to which the faculties of the mind can be more laudably directed, or from which inore useful information may be derived. While it imparts to us a knowledge of man in his social relations, and thereby enables us to divest ourselves of many errors and prejudices, it tends to strengthen our ab- horrence of vice, and erects an honorable ambition for the attainment of true great- ness and glory. Nay, if considered as a mere source of rational amusement, history will still be found infinitely superior to the extravagant fictions of romance, or the dis- torted jictures of living manners; for by the habitual perusal of them, however polished their style or quaint their humor, the intellect is frequently debilitated and the heart tuo often corrupted.
** If an Englishman,” said the great Fred- erick of Prussia, ‘‘has no knowledge of those kings that filled the throne of Persia; if his memory is not embarrassed with that infinite number of Popes that ruled the Church, we are ready to excuse him; but we shall hardly have the same indulgence for him, if he isa stranger to the origin of Parliaments, to the customs of the coun- try, and to the different lines of Kings who have reigned in England.”
THE TOMB OF EDWARD THE BLACK PRINCE.
It is a well-known saying in Shakespeare that-—
‘* The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with the bones.”
But it is often, happily, just the reverse, and so it was with the Black Prince. He was the first great English captain who showed what English seldiers were, and what they could do against Frenchmen, and against ali the world. He was the first English Prince who showed what it was to be a true gentleman. He was the first, but he was not the last. We have seen how, when he died, Englishmen thought that all their hopes had died with him. But we know that it was not so; we know that the life of a great nation is not bound up with the life of a single man; we know that the valor and the courtesy and the chivalry of England are not buried in the grave of the Plantagenet Prince. It needs only a glance round the country to see that the uigh character of an English gentieman, of which the Black Prince was the noble pat- tern, is still to be found everywhere ; and has since his time been spreading. itself nore and more through classes, which in his time seemed ineapable of reaching it. * * * And not to soldiers only, but to all who are engaged in the long wariare of life, is his conduct an example. To unite in our lives the two qualities ex- pressed in his motto, ‘*‘ Hoch muth” and ** {ch dien,” “thigh spirit” and ‘*rever- ent service,” is to be, indeed, not only a true gentleman anda true soldier, but a true Christian a'so. To show toall who differ from us, not only in war but in peace, that delicate forbearance, that fear of hurting another’s feelings, that happy art of saying the right thing to the right person, which he showed to the captive French king, would indeed add grace and a charm to the whole course of this troublesome world, such as none can affurd to lose, whether high or low. Happy are they who, having this gift by birth or station, use it for its highest purposes; still more happy are they, who having it not by birth or station, have acquired it, as it may be acquired, by Christian gentleness and Christian charity. And Jastly, to act in all the various ditticul- ties of our everyday life, with that coolness and calmness, and faith, in a higher power than his own, which he showed when ap- palling danger of his situation burst upon him at Poitiers, would smvoth a hundred difficulties, and ensure a hundred victor- ies. We often think we have no power in ourselves, no advantages of positicn, to help us against our many temptations, to overcome the many obstacles we encounter. Let us take our stand by the Black Prince’s tomb, and go back once more in thought to the distant fields of France. A slight rise in the wild upland plain, a steep lane through vineyards and underwood, this was all that he had, humanly speaking, on his side ; but he turned it to the utmost use of which it could be made, and won the most glorious of battles. So, in like manner, our ad- vantages may be slight—hardly perceptible to any but ourselves—let us turn them to account, and the results will be a hundred- fold; we have only to adopt the Black Prince’s bold and cheering words, when first he saw his enemies, ‘‘ God is my help, I must fight them as best I can ;” adding that lofty, yet resigned and humble prayer, which he uttered when the battle was an- nuunced to be inevitanle, and which has since become a proverb ‘*God defend the right.” —Historical Memorials of Canterbury by Dean Stanley.
DEATH OF JAMES I.
When James lay in his last illness at St. Germains, he addressed the Prince of Wales, his son, with equal firmness and piety, telling him that ‘* however splendid a crown appeared, the time is sure to come when it is a matter of perfect indifference; that nothing is worth loving but God, or desiring except eternity. never to forget his duty to his mother, and his attachment and gratitude to the king uf France, from whom he had received so many favors.” ; James’ desire, Louis XIV.
He exhorted him!

these words for his epitaph: * Here lies James the Second, King of England.” But the budy was kept unburied until 1793 or 1794 in the Church of the English Benedic- tine Monastry at Paris, where it was ex- hibited for money. It was not until 1824 that the corpse, or the greater portion of it, was conveyed to St. Germain, where it was buried with great pomp in the parish
jchurch, most of the English then in Paris
or the neighborhood joining in the funeral procession. The intestines of the King were given, soon after his death, to the Irish College in Paris ; where also his body lay after the destruction of the Church of the Benedictines, and before its final in- terment at St. Germain. The brain of the King was given to the Scotch College in Paris, and the heart to the Convent at Chaillor. In the chapel of the Scotch College in Paris is a monument, with a long Latin inscription, erected 1703 by James Duke of Perth, to the memory of James II. Anurn once stood over the monument, containing the King’s brain ; but this was destroyed at the period of the Revolution. Near thisisa slab covering the heart of his queen, and another the in- testines of his daughter Lovisa. A monu- ment of white and gray marble was also erected to the King at St. Germain by order of George LV. ; it bears a Latin inscription in which James is characterised as ‘* Magnus in prosperis, in adversis major.” —Communi- cated by Dr. Wreford to the Athencenn, November 30, 1850. tT. &.

Obituary.
We announce to-day, with great regret, the death of Mr. James F. Martin, son of Mr. M. Martin, the respected postmaster at Belfast; and the following letter from his pastor in Minnesota, the Rev. J. 8. John- stone, refers to him :—
Two Hargors, Min., Oct. 13th, 1888. Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Belfast, Canada :
Dear Frienps,—1 take this opportunity of writing you something about the sickaess and last days of your dear boy James.
As pastor of the little Presbyterian Church here, at Two Harbors, I have taken a warm interest in James from the first. It has been my pleasure tu know him for some time, and I was with him often during bis last sickness. Perhaps you would like to know about his sickness and last days on earth. He was taken ill about three weeks ago with what the doctor called typhoid fever, which soon chang- ed to lung fever. His langs became diseased and he gradually became weaker a d weaker. He failed rapidly. although some days he seemed better, but on the following day would be worse. He wasnot given up wholly by the doctor until two days before his death. He passed away on Thursday, October llth, at 12.30 p. m.
1 was with him on the morning before his death. Hetalked to me freely about his death, and said he was ready togo. He did ‘not fear death because he would not cross the river alone ; his Saviour would be with him and would not forsake him. He passed from earth in a full faith in his God, nothing waver- ing. He did not seem to think of himself, but of you at home. He said to me as I was sitting by his bed, ‘* I do not care so much tor myself, 1 am ready to go; but what will poor mother do.” I have no doubt but that he is with his Saviour to-day, as I write. My dear friends, you will never again see your dear James alive on earth, but you may meet bim again in Heaven, where there is no death and no parting. Blessed hope is it not?
Let us say everything was done for James that human hands could do. He had a good nurse most of the time. Much praise is to be given to Mrs. Ross for her care and attention to him ; but it was not a burden to take care of him, for he was so patient and kind.
Shortly before he died, I baptized him on his profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
On Friday at 11 o'clock a. m., we held a short funeral service at the house, A pro- cession there followed him to the depot ; then he was sent to you. There was a large funeral, for James had many friends here. My dear friends, as you look into his coffin, may the grace and comfert of our God be with you, and may he sustain you in your sorrow.
Yours in Christ, Rev. J. 8. JOHNSTONE, Two Harbors, Minnesota. A TS ST
Mr. Kennan’s Change of Views.
The following is an extract from a letter written home by Mr. Kennan while he was in Russia investigating the exile system for The Century magazine: ** The exile system is much worse than I supposed. Mr.——’s examination of prisons and study of the exile system were extremely superficial. I ‘cannot understand how, if he really went through the Tiumen and Tomsk forwarding prisons, he could have failed to see that their condition and the condition of their wretched inmates were in many respects shocking, Nobody here has tried to con- ceal iffrom me. ‘The acting governor of this province said to me very frankly yester- day that the condition of the Tomsk prison is ** oozhasnoi” (awful), but that he cannot help it. What | have previously written and said about the treatment of the political exiles seems to be substantially true and accurat, at least so far as Western Sibera is concerned, but my preconceived ideas as to their character have been rudely shaken. The Russian liberals and revolut:on- ists, whom I have wet here are by nomeans halt-educated enthusiasts, crazv fanatica, or men whose mental processes it is diffi- ult to understand. On the contrary, they are simple, natural perfectly comprehen- sible, and often singularly interesting and attractive. One sees at once that they are educated, reasunable, self-controlled gentle- men, not different in any essential respect from one’s self. When I write up this country for the The Century, I shatl have to take back some of the things that I have ‘ssid. The exie system is worse than I lbelieved it to be, and worse thanI have described it. It isn't pleasant,of course, to have to admit that one has written upon 4 subject without fully understanding it; but
