BIRTH. On January 31st, at 1 Belle Vue Terrace, the wife of W. R. Ramsay, of Johannesberg, South r, African Republic, of a daughter. DEATH. On January 30th, at Pendyffryn, Rhyl, in his 74th year, Gcoige Turner. Deeply regretted.

f THE PHRASE, "I HAVE A CROW TO PLUCK WITH YOU." The children of the wealthy families among the Greeks and Romans frequently kept birds for their amusement, and among these the crow was very often found. In their childish quarrels the boys used to pull the feathers out of each other's pet, as a means of making them and their owners ridiculons. No doubt the crow very violently resented this indignity but still the fact is preserved for us in the phrase, I have a crow to pluck with you," and the selection of him as the specimen bird is a -—*ViA cvAw. in so far as it nroves tlmfc. in his case, to the gratification of irritating his owner was added the excitement of avoiding the ang y resentment of the insulted bird

NOT LIKELY TO GET HER.

CHILDKKN who are honoured by their parents' confidence, and accustomed to add their quota of assistance, and to bear their share of self-sacritiec "whenever the good of the family require it will rarely be guilty of ingratitude. They are not op- posed to, but in quick sympathy with their parents, not because they are gifted with specially sympa- thetic natures or are in any way superior to ordin- ary young people, but simple because they have been made sharers with their parent;, in the cares and hopes, the responsibilities and labours of the of the family.

THE PROUD PRINCESS. A WELSH LEGEND. There was once upon a time a young princeg who was so proud that she could find no one suit. able to be her husband. She was very beautiful, and the daughter of a great king, and one after the other kings came to court her, but her only answer Was "No. I will never marry until a king comes who' can conquer all the other kings then I shall be the wife of the king of the world, and no on. can hold herself higher than I." She was so very beautiful, and such a great king's daughter, that all the other kings of the •world got to fighting about her, but no one could say that he had conquered the others. And nine old harpers sat on the stones before the castle door all day playing on their harps and singing :— There is a princess so proud and cold, She will not marry a heart of gold. Beware Beware K" Kings are tueing and princes woo, But she to her cruel vow is true. Beware! Beware!" But the princess only glanced down angrily at the old men, with their white, flowing beards and golden harps. In her bower her maidens sat and wove her wed- ding veil, and it grew longer and longer, and more and more beautiful, but still she did not say, 44 Finish it," and it seemed likely to be her shroud at last for all the kings of the earth who had not queens already had been to ask her hand, as she supposed, and now she was doomed never t. m And the harpers played and sung, and the king crew angry, and the queen wept, for the people were beginning to say, What shall we do for a king when the old king is gone, for he has no son, and his daughter will never marry, and we shall have no one to crown-no king at all." And just as things had come to this pass a bugle played at the gate of the castle, and someone asked tor admission. "Who is there 1" those asked who guarded the «« r £ he king who conquers all kings, answered a voice, "And he has come to court the kings d,Thene the drawbridge was let down, and they flung the gates wide open, expecting a lung to enter with a great retinue of attendants, but, lllstead. one mighty figure entered alone, dressed in armour, with the vizor closed, so that his face could not be aeon. He bowed low before the king, who desired to know his name and country. A My name you know, sire," replied the armed figure. "My face you shall soon see. I am king ciall kings, for never yet have I met a king I could not conquer. I have heard of the fame of your beautiful, proud princess, and am here to claim her band, for I make no empty boast, as she shall acknowledge." The old harpers sitting at the foot of the throne struck their harps and began to play but in spite of themselves the harps began to wail, and the notes were the notes of a funeral song. The king reproved them, but the guest, who stood there in his armour, waved his hand to them. Sad music suits me best," he said. Go on." And they played, being unable to stop, so that a listener would have believed that some great grief had come to the royal family and to these notes the princess entered, at her father's summons, all in white, with gems in her hair beautiful as a fairy, pale as a pearl. She looked at the new-comer he regarded her from beneath his vizor. "The king who has never failed to conquer any king he has met, and who will continue to conquer all kings, has come to offer you his hand," he said. Will you be his queen, beautiful princess ?" The princess looked at him gravely. Why do you hide your face ? she asked. H ji-wa not a beautiful king whom you desired to -ili);l'Ÿ ,üüé one ~vv no couiu conquer "all other kings," he said. You will see my face soon enough." The princess shuddered, but she held her head high. "Assuredly," she answered, "you are right. Only prove that what you say is true, and I will marry you, though you are hideous as ever man can be; but give me the proofs." The figure in armour shook with a deep laugh. Marry me, princess," he said, "and 1 will lead you to the spot where are those kings whom I have laid low. Marry me and we will go with the king your father, the queen your mother, the harpers, the soldiers, and all the court, and see the spectacle. If I show it not to you you may break your wed- ding-ring and take back your vow, and return to this earth free of me for ever more." His words carried belief with them. "I will marry you," said the princess, "and take you at your word." Then the harpers played and the maidens brought the wedding veil and the marriage cere- mony was performed, and the great procession set forth from the castle to see if the king in armour had spoken truth and was really conquerer of all kings. And he rode on a great white horse, such as no man had even seen, with his princess behind him on a pillion. On she rode, over the hills and away but they saw no castle, and day faded, and night came, and still they did not halt; but at last, when the moon was up, the armed rider led the way down into I a deep valley, and there commanded them to halt. I am come to my kingdom," he said, and all is as I said." The princess looked above her, and saw on every side only tombs, and vaults, and graves. What does this mean ? she cried. Where is your great palace, your mighty towers, your con- quered kings ? As she spoke the harps in the harpers' hands began to play again of themselves-a wailing tune, never heard before, that froze the blood of the listeners and the bridegroom answered Behold, these are the tombs of kings. I have conquered them, every one. I but touched them, and they fell before me. So kings will fall until there are no more. Beautiful princess, you desired for your husband the conqueror of all other kings. There is none but myself. I am your bridegroom. Behold me I am Death I" lie lifted his vizor all saw his awful face. He rode toward the old king, and took his hand. I salute my bride's father he said and the old man dropped lifeless in his saddle. I pay my duty to my bride's mother," he said, and stooped to KISS ner nana, She shrieked and fell into her ladies' arms. Kings and queens," cried the bridegroom, "I, Death, conquer them all. Come to my arms, my bride. I have won you fairly." He clasped her to his breast, where she dropped like a crushed lily, and he spurred his white horse toward the tombs. A storm, black and terrible, swept up the valley and quenched the moonlight. And the courtiers and the soldiers, bearing their dead king and queen, rode back to their castle, while the rain beat upon them, and the hands of the harpers, still moved by some unknown power, played a dirge never heard before. As for the proud princess, no one ever saw hel again. Only when certain long, white clouds sweep across the sky, country people will whisper to each other, "That is the wedding veil of the Proud Princess."

How the quality of the land must vary in the county of Kerry, a district which has gained such an unenviable notoriety of late years, is clear from a comparison of the rent-rolls of the three largest landowners of the county. The Marquis of Lans- downe, whose estates cover 94,983 acres, only receives in rent—even when all his tenants pay up — £ 9,553 per annum whereas Lord Ventry, for 93,629 acres, gets, or should get, a yearly sum of £ 17,067 whilst Lord Kenmare, with 91,080 acres, has a nominal rent-roll of not less than £ 25,252. Here, then, we have the average price per acre on these three estates 2s, 3s 7d, and 5s 6d respectively. IT is interesting, on looking through the list of inventions patented during the first six months of the current year, to notice that out of the 8500 names of patentees, 50 are those of women. It is most certainly a ludicrously small percentage, but one that, small as it is, has immensely increased since the process of patenting has been simplified by the new Act of 1884, and so become more easily comprehensible and accessible to others than men of business. The inventions patented are, as might be expected, with few exceptions, strictly within a woman's province. A PLASTERER and his boy being employed to whitewash a house by the day were so tedious that owner asked the lad in his master's absence when he thought they would have done. The boy bluntly replied, Master's looking for another job, and if he finds one, we shall finish this week." LITTLE MAUD—" Mamma, where do people go whelil they die ?" Mamma—" Oh, you must not ask such questions, dear; you will understand all about it when you are a little older." Little, Maud (after some reflection)-" .Mamma, do you know all about it ?" Aw, my good man, what kind of a wesidence do you think would suit me ?" asked an exquisite of a house acent. After taking him in. eye-glass ana all, the ageat replied Something like a nat, I should think, would be most appropriate." A JUVENILE, on coming home for a vacation, astounded his father by asking, Why's my education like iced hock and seltzer ?" And before the amazed father could reply, the young rogue added, "Because it's schooling (it's cooling)." A NUMBER of ladies were chatting about their dislike of the use of tobacco by their husbands, when one of them declared, "I never kiss my husband because he smokes and then amid the general silence she added; No, I kiss him because I like to." WE lately read of a person who was killed by a cork, which struck him in the eye when drawing it. But if the cork has killed its one man, consider how many thousands and tens of thousands the bottle has killed, without a word being said about 14--

Both Parcels prove to be absolutely pure, genuine and sound also or rich composition in the various active principles and nutrients belonging to this beverage.

L charge of nepotism can be brought against him. lIe promoted some who were known to be HI affected towards him, but never a friend, because he was a friend. In matters of duty he knew neither friend nor foe. Efficiency and consistent piety were the prime consideration with him. As a speaker and preacher he was remarkably strong in Welsh, and was well able to hold his own in English. He was frequently seen on the London platforms and many will remember the fervid eloquence with which he could rivet an audience. In his intercourse with his clergy he was more like a loving father, or an affectionate elder bro- ther, than a high dignitary of the Church. And yet he knew how, when occasion required it, to admonish and even to reprove sharply with un. affected dignity. His hospitality was unbounded, and the courtesy of Mrs. Hughes and the Misses Hughes was warmly and universally appreciated. His removal is an irreparable loss. We lose a model Bishop and a model family, every member of which bad but one ambition-to be foremost in every good work. The funeral took place at St. Asaph on Friday, the 25th ult., and was attended by a large con- course of sorrowing clergy and laity from all parts of the diocese. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH FUND- The Vicar desires to acknowledge with many thanks the following sums received towards the extinction of the debt on this church:- £ s d From 9, Friend 25 0 0 J. P.

We have now in the bank 1117 4s. t'd. available for the payment of E200 kindly lent by two gentlemen. Several of the promised sub- scriptions are still unpaid. We much hope that our friends will soon make them good as, besides and beyond the debt, the church still lacks many necessary appliances, and particularly a wall to surround the enclosure. The Rev. G. Everard's kindly promised return "Visit commenced with a prayer meeting and an address in the Boys' Schoolroom, on Saturday, the 26th ult., at 7.30 p m. On the following Sunday Mr Everard preached at 10.30 and at6.e0. At 3 o'clock p.m. he addressed the children, and at 4 p.m. the men. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wed- nesday he gave a bible reading at 3 o'clock, and a sermon with an after meeting at 7-30 p.m. Those who were privileged to attend felt that it was indeed a time of refreshing for which to be most thankful.
