Victoria.. Eternal God The peoples stand And own their times are in Thy hand: With mingling tears and thanks they raime Their broken song of love and praise. Thy Servant rests! Her task is done; Her race with noble patience run; I From year to year, serene and true To that Thou gavest her to do From year to year, per people's good Has been her high beautitude Their weal her joy their grief her own; Their loyal hearts her queenly throne. She rests at last; she rests in Thee From burdening griefs and ills set free: The sceptred cares of earth laid down, She takes from Thee her deathless crown. Thou givest Thy beloved sleep No longer shall she mutely weep O'er loved ones gone, and soldiers^ slain On Afric's bloodstained battle-plain. She rests: her toils and sorrows cease For us the tears for her the peace For us the warfare and the strife For her the glad Eternal Life HENRY W. HAWKES.

» The Voiceless. A few can touch the magic string, And noisy Fame is proud to win them:— Alas for those that never sing, But die with all their music in them 1 Nay, grieve not for the dead alone Whose song has told their hearts' sad story,— We?p for the voiceless, who have known The cross without the crown of glory If singing breath or echoing chord To every hidden pang were given, What endless melodies were poured, As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven. HOLMES.

The Defaced Tombstone. In vain I tried to read the name Of him who slumbers here On the memorial stone have beat The storms of many a year, Till not a line is left the grave That Love or Pride the dead one gave. His name ?

A Great Sorrow. A great sorrow after a time becomes idealised "■ presses at first with overpowering weight, butQ gradually it rises till it becomes a thing of con-B templation on which we can dwell with calmness, and which leaves a mellowiag influence behind. One has seen the dew, bequeathed byo the darkness Weigh down the flowers' heads but sunlight re-fl lieves the pressure, dries up the tears, and leavesl only their memory in refreshment and fragrance. Then the departed are not forgotten, but seen in a higher light. Time beautifies the dead." ■ REV. JOHN KER. ■

Historical Land-marks. We have an unfortunate habit of distributing historical affairs under reigns. We do this mecha- nically, as it were, even in periods where we recog nise, nay, where we exaggerate, the insignificance cftke monarch. Even the most influential Sovereign lias seldom a right to give his name to an age. Much misconception, for example, has arisen out of the expression, Age of Louis XIV. The first, step in arranging and dividing any period of English history is to get rid of such useless headings as "'Reign of Queen Anne." Reign of George I." Reign of George II." In place of these we must study to put divisions founded upon some real stage of progress in the national life, We mast look onward, not from king to king, but from great •▼ent to great event. And in order to do this we must estimate events, measure their greatness; a thing which cannot be done without considering them and analysing them closely. When, with reo spect to any event, we have satisfied ourselves that it deserves to rank among the leading events of the national history, the next step is to trace thel causes by which it was produced. In this way! eaeh event takes the character of a development, and each development of this kind furnishes a chapter to the national history, a chapter which "Ul get its name from the event. P R.

Baptists. I Aberystwyth Welsh NO. IV.. BY PHILIP SIDNEY.' ( Continued from 24th January.) After Breeze left Aberystwyth, one Jesse Jones came to keep a school in the chapel, and to assist James in preaching. Jones not having any pulpit charge was greatly needed to help, here. He came in May, 1812, for some years previously he had preached and kept school in Denbigh- shire. He had but little reception by those people who had formerly been against Breeze." James. himself, too, was often proved by many bitter things and troublesome afflictions. Great was the sorrow he had to meet on account of the woman whose hands were deepest in Breeze's blood, and who misrepresented him as being unable to make the two ends meet." This woman did much by 4krd and deed, which tended to misrepresent James' moial character, to harm him as a tradesman, and to hinder him as a preacher." He was miscoloured to such an extent and bis honesty and power to pay his way were so much doubted because of these slanders, that his credi- tors opened their eyes and all demanded any money due to them." Alas 1 how sorrowful it all was! Every credi- tor demanding his money, while it was useless for him to ask his debtors for anything." On many occasions he knew not what to do, nor did he know where to turn his eyes. Some of his creditors were very strict." Seeing that matters were so, he and many others feared that all his belongings would be disorderly, the Great Name blasphemed, his family made piteous, and his mouth closed." Yet, God on many occasions and in divers ways stood on the breach, and he escaped through His tenderness, so that neither Satan nor those that hated James, bad any occasion either naturally or spiritually to rejoice in his fall. God stood by his side, and the town can testify that very well. It is seldom that the church is unanimous in anything without someone pulling crosswise." "James wrote Pigion o Hymnau '—Selection of Hymns--361 in number, containing a greater variety than any other in the Welsh language, with the Gamut in Welsh (price 3s bound). The book met with a good reception. He sold 2,000 of these." James also wrote 'Hanes Crisnogrwydd yn mhlith yr Iuddewon'—' History of Christianity among the Jews '—price 4d, of which he sold 1,500 in a few months. It had been compiled and translated from many English treatises on the subject." I The year 1814 was a hard and tumultuous one for the Church. In addition to family and church difficulties James suffered from a severe illness for months." After he had, on many occasions asked Pryse Pryse, Esq., Gogerdan, for a place on which to build a chapel at Talybont, he ultimately received one, with a 21 years' lease, and as no better terms could be obtained, a chapel was built there." It was opened on 1 January, 1814. The preachers' names on that occasion are recorded in the Book of Talybont. (Where is this book •P.S The members and the neighbourhood were poor and feeble for such an undertaking, and they made but little towards the expenses; although some were faithful as regards giving their time and nimals to carry the materials free of charge." The expenses amounted to £ 100— £ 150. The chapel's internal dimensions were, length 9 yards, breadth 7 yards, with a height sufficient for having a gallery at each end." A comfortable chapel was obtained, with a good many members belonging to it, while all the responsibilities for collecting the money (i.e. to meet the expenses) devolved upon James." People in the town and those at Penrhyncocb contributed faithfully towards the expenses of the chapel, much more than the members and the neighbourhood there As it was impossible to obtain the sanction of the Assembly to collect towards a house (chapel) of this kind, James was obliged to ask permission of the ministers and the chapels separately before being allowed to collect." "-He travelled a great deal far and near in hurches belonging to the three Assemblies, where he had obtained permission to collect," He had to go a great way at different times, and received very often but little for his trouble. He used to go for a month now and again, until he had finished his task, which he accomplished in the year 1816. Thank God for life and strength to complete it." After James' departure from Aberystwyth, the church" was for a short time without a stated minister, but it was assisted by one and another. The brethren Daniel Jones, Cwmanddu, and D. Griffith irom Cwmifor, were of very great service to them. There was an intention of getting them to settle with the congregation, but Jones went to Liverpool, and Griffith stopped at Cwmifor." In the beginning of 1818, the two churches at Talybont and Penrhyn became independent. This however, took place with perfect peace on both sides. Talybont and Penrhyncoch gave John Davies from Llandyssul a call to come to them as minister, which was accepted." In this summer the Assembly was held at Aber- ystwyth. There was no minister here yet, "but brother Jesse Jones was accustomed to speaking. It was very well for them that they bad him at this time." In this summer too, a call was given to William Evans from Cwmfelin to come and stay with the church at Aberystwyth. The affair was not definitely ettled until October, when he and his family removed to the town." [ To be concluded in next isvm.1

CARDIGAN. EISTEDDFOD MATTERS.—The general committee of the torthcoming eisteddfod met at the Guildhall on Friday evening, January 25th, when the Mayo (Mr D. Ivor Evans), presided. The secretary (Mr D. Morgan Jones), presented for consideration the reports of the various sub-committees, which were generally adopted. A bardic chair, value 4 guineas, will be offered for the best poem on The dawn of the century," and three guineas will be offered for the best "History of Cardigan during the last century." Prizes will also be offered for.the best elegy on the late Vicar of Cardigan, and the most appropriate mural inscription on the late Mr W. 0 Brigstocke, of Blaenpant. The Rev T. Eynon Davies, London, will be asked to adjudicate upon the history of Cardigan, and the Revs Ceri Evans. Carmarthen, and Simlog Morgan, Newcastle Emlyn, on the other competitions. The chief choral com- petition will be Gostwng, 0 Arglwydd, Dy glust,' the first prize being £30, and the second £10, The' male voice competition will be the Psalm of life," first prize P.10, and the second £5.. At the close of the meeting Mr O. Beynon Evans raised the question as to the advisability of at once settling the list of guarantors, and he suggested that they should fix 1 and 10s as suitable amounts, so that the towns- people generally might join in the enterprise. 11 ti Is'p Many working men would, he thought, gladlv pledge themselves for the latter sum, who would not care to go as far as the former. Messrs J. Daniel, W. Selby, W. E. Matthews, and T. H. Wil- liams, were appointed to canvass the towrf for g-uarantors.

LLANGEITHO EISTEDDFOD. Sir,—" Gwyrddfynydd's remedy for what seems to him a faulty condition of the local eisteddfod in connection with the essay subject., and of which condition lie took the Llangeitho Eisteddfod as an example, is as vague and indefinite as it is marked with uncertainty. To show that such is the case, it is only necessary to quote his proposal, which is as follows: A general subject, say on agricultural methods, or on any Welsh subject which is not quite so local perhaps." The proposal seems char- acteristic of one who does not quite know what he is talking about, anfih who only manages with difficulty to express that atomical and doubtful knowledge in the English tongue. As has been previously said, theological, historical, and agri- cultural subjects are set for essays yearly. Las year a local subject Was chosen—" Hen gymeriadau enwog yn ardal Llangeitho." Gwyrddfynydd cannot understand why an occasional subject of Local interest gives more encouragement to our young men than subjects of wider range. As i has been previously pointed out, most of the udience at the Llangeitho eisteddfod would be in- cluded within an area of five or six miles. Youn men within such an area would find more difficul- ties in attacking a theological or historical subject than they would in the case of a local subject. Their previous knowledge of a subject of wide range would probably be very scanty, and the means of obtaining more not feasible. Besides, in such a case there is always the chance of ,some fai istant individual, who, perhaps less able, but with access to splendid libraries and other authorities, running them too fast a race for the prize. But give them an occasional subject of local interest, tney seem to possess more instigation and courage for tackling it. Their previous knowledge, together with the interest involved therein, as well as the feasible means of attaining more knowledge, will account to some extent for this. They kn,)w that with ability they can vie with any individual on such a subject, for they are not hindered by the forces which would face them in the case of a subject of wide range. And it may be that if success, or honourable mention," is gained on such an occasion, they will receive sufficient stimu- lus to tackle a subject of wider range when the next opportunity provides itself. It is only occasionally that we desire a subject of local interest, as other subjects 01 wider range should be offered in their successive courses. Therefore, who but" Gwyrddfynydd would think of complaining? Nid da lle y gellir gwell." Gwyrddfynydd says, certainly so, and when his advice, or whatever he calls it, is worthy of consideration, it will receive attention. He declines to accept our sympathy, and says, "after my unsuccessful interview with the committee, I never thought of competing, even if I thought previously." We suppose he means, that had he been successful with the committee in arranging the essay subject more in accordance with his literary taste, he would have competed, but as he was unsuccessful in his interview, he never thought of competing, as the subject chosen was unsuitable. he goes on to say, I would never stoop so low as to write a letter to get a subject to please me," According to the above paraphrase, and such must be the meaning of his words, as he has stated them he contradicts himself. Beirg unsuccessful in his interview, and, therefore, not in a position to compete, he makes an appeal through the press. Out of his own mouth he condemns himself. He also says that the essay subject is the most im- portant subject in its own section, and that we called it an "item." IThe essay subject is, nd may be, important in its own section, but, as we said, it is only an item on the whole programme. Besides, we should be inclined to think that the poetry, which would include the poems, ode, and stanza, would be the most important in that section. rhe eisteddfod has produced far more bards than essay writers. Gwyrddfynydd says, 14 Rumou vers that the Llangeitho Eisteddfod Committee are presently advised by people who have very trong individual whims." If he has nothing more than a rumour to base his report on, let him give it no more thought. It was only last week that there was a rumour that the Overman Emperor was going to ascend the English throne on the Queen's death. Probably, this rumour was believed by some ignorant and ill advised people. But it was only a vague and meaningless rumour. Bas nothing upon rumour, but have your facts founded on confirmed reports. Neither did we forget that Gwyrddfynydd accused the Llangeitho Eistedd- fod Committee more than any other local com- mittee. He merely took the Llangeitho Eisteddfod as a type; told us of his unsuccessful interview with their committee, and asked them to take his words not as a reproach, but as advice. Thev have taken it as neither. Finally, we would remind Gwyrdd fynydd that the Llangeitho Eisteddfod Committe are willing enough at all times to accept a pearl even from a toad's mouth, but the toad's own rubbish they will not accept. Hence no more notice will be taken of Gwyrddfynydd's" com- plaint, WELL WISHER.

BRONANT. SALE OF WORK -On Friday evening, Feb. 1st the Board Schoolroom at Bronant was the scene of very lively and interesting proceedings. Over one hundred articles of clothing, made by the school girls, were exhibited for sale. The mothers of the children and many young ladies from the neigh bourhood made excellent customers. Some ladie from Lledrod came there in search of good bargains, and, it was evident by their smiling faces, as they carried their purchases away, that they were not disappointed. Mrs L. B. Evans, the sewin mistress, deserves great credit for the work done by the girls. By cleanliness, good manners, and ttention to their work great progress has been made by the girls during the last two years. Mr L. B. Evans, the headmaster, leaves no stone unturned to make the school thoroughly efficient in all its departments. Several members of the Board and some other gentlemen visited the school during the sale. The children sang songs at intervals, and finished up in grand style with God save the King." Yictoline is strongly recommended as an effective remedy for toothache, neuralgia, and headache. "I Printing quickly and neatly done at the "Welsh Gazette" Printeries, Bridge Street.
