FHNHIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate

cost. the advantages of a comfortable and pleasant home together with a thorough and refined education.

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Kxamination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupilsat a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish. ment.

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.

Sir, —

A worthy old Parson, well used to indite,

For ‘‘Ackermann’s Annual” often wonld write ;

He wrote of the Earth, like Von Humboldt or Herman ;

if he wrote of the Sea, you would say ‘‘ He's a Merman.”

He truly was clever, but never had knéwn

That precept of precepts, to ‘‘ Let well alone.”

ifhe said a good thing, right again he would say it,

And then on his anvil would carefully lay it ;

With heavy sledge hammer he’d hammer it

From the squeak of a fife to the roar of a gong.

i'm sure he would gladly have left Dr. Whis- ton,

To hear our friend Fletcher, on cornet or pis- ton ;

But lately I read, without any intention,”

Colossal Fortunes.

We, in our steady, plodding way of doing business in Canada, cannot comprehend what vast amounts of money are habitually handled by some of the magnates in the creat trade centres of the world. Even to think of the protits that are sometimes made, without considering the large capitals that make these profits possible, is enough te take our breath away. <A report of the operations in Wall street, New York during the year just closed, shows that in that period Vanderbilt aciually cisared in prefits thirty millions ef dollars—more than half

a million a week. Jay Gould made fifteen millions, Russell Sage, ten

millions ; J. R Keene, eight millions, and so on, down to the miilion or two made by lesser men. [tis not many years since— vot more than a generation—that a daring speculator in New York announced, when he had accumulate a capital of about one million, that he was determined te acquire ten millions before he died. He was leoked upon as visionary, for it was thought that ne man could control such vast combina- tions as would be necessary to amass such asum. Yet, the methods of doing busi- ness have not been simplified. It isne easier to conduct a large business pow than it was in the days our fathers and grand- fathers attended the’ marts of commerce. If the business men of a century ago conld come back and watch some of the gigantic operations of to-day, they would be hope- lessly bewildered. They would be utterly unable to compete with those who throw about millions more easily than their pre- deces ors did thousands. Still, we cannot say that our generation has attained a skiil and success that cannot be surpassed in the future. We, of the present age, have cables, telegraphs and railroads, and we

| reigning monarch was born during (within)

the last century.

The sovereign whose reign has been the longest is Dom Pedro, who became Emper- or of Brazil April 7, 1831. The next leng- est reign, except in two small German States, is that of Victoria, who has been Gneen of England since June 20, 1837.

Next in order comes Massadred-Deen, Shah of Persia, since September 10, 1848, and Francis Joseph I. Emperor of Austria, (now Austro-Hungary) since December 2, £848

The youngest sovereign is Alphonso XII, horn in 1859, and king of Spain since December 30, 1874. The last crowned is Humbert [., who became King of Italy January 9, 1878. 3

Edward IUL., was the common ancestor of ail the present sovereigns of Europe, ex- cept the Snitan of Turkey and King of Sweeden—and alse the only emperor in the Western Continent. It is noteworthy that Dom Pedro of Brazil is more nearly related to Rdward IL. than any other ruler, being of the 15th generation, while Victoria of England is of the 17th, as are also Alphon- so Xif of Spain, William I. of Germany, Uhrisvian LX of Denmark and Humbert I. of Htaly, Lewis, king of Portugal and Francis Joseph [ of Anustro-Hungary, are of the 16th generation from Edward HE, and Alexander Li. of Russia, Leopold II. of Belgium, aud George I. of Greece, are of the 18th.

The longest reign recorded in medern his- tory is that of Louis XIV. of France, which was seventy-two years.

The longest English reign was that of George ILI., who ruled sixty years. The reigns of Henry JIL. and of Edward LI were each more than half a century.

Victoria of England and Kuenza of Guina rule over more tham ene-haif the popula- tion of the globe.

Not only is the gracious Queen of Eng- land connected by ties of consanguinity with’ all but two of the sovereigns of Europe, but also with several who would like to be Kings, as Chambord of France, who bides his time to be called to the throne as Henry V., and,Ferdinand Polipe, Duke of Orleans, who came te America and served for a while on tho staff of General McCiellen during the late war.

In all America there is but one crowned head, Dom Pedro, ruler of the largest coungry in Seuth America, and all who witepesod the.opening of the Centennial Exhibition, aud the starting of ihe ma- chinery in the great Machinery Hall, saw him standing by the side of the President of the great North American Republic, and both waiting the command of an American mechanic to unthrottle the steam arteries of the giant engine, and set in motion the mazy acres of looms, lathes, spindles, drilis, saws, and hundreds of tools and machines, illustrating the industries of the world.

The Result of Attachment.

Court was in session, and amid the mul- tiplicity of business which crowded upon him, the deputy sheriff stopped at the store of a beautifai widow on the sunny side of thirty, who, by the way, had often be- stowed melting glances on the deputy afore- said. He was admitted, and soon the widow appeared. The confusion and delight which the arrival of her visitor occasioned set off te greater advantage than usual the captivating manner of the widow M——.

Her chesks bore the beautiful blended ‘tints ef the apple blossom, her lips resem- bled rosebuds on which the morning dew still lingered, and her eyes were like the quivers of Cupid, and the glances of love and tenderness with which they were filled resembling arrows and only wanting a fine beau (pardon the pun) to do full exe- cution, After a few commonplace re- marks :

‘* Madame,” said the matter of fact de- puty, ‘* I have an attachment for yen.”

A deep blush mantled the cheeks of the widow with downcast eyes, whose glance was centred on her beautiful feet, half con- cealed by her flowing drapery, gently pat- ting the floor. She, with equal ardor, re- plied :

‘¢ Sir, the attachment is reciprocal.”

For seme time the deputy maintained an

hence, when our steamers, railroads, tele- | graphs, cables, will be superseded by ap-!

astonished silence. At length he said :

‘* Madame, you will preceed to conrt at once.”

‘** Proceed to court !” replied the lady, with a merry laugh. Then, shaking her beautiful head, she added, ‘‘ No sir, even if it was leap year | would not take advantage
