The Catholic hero of Lntbnir," the

of the largest land ow ners in the realm,

Queen at court. Tfits singular circum
stance ir now accounted for by ihe Court
Journal, which rtates tbat the young Mar
quis promised his' mother on her death
bed never to permit himself io be presen
ted to Queen Victoria. The reason of
ibis extraordinary promise, which the
Marquis ha icli-iously kept, is to be
fount1 infhe Implacable hostility of the
Marchioness lo llie qneen. 'J he late Mar
chioness of Bute wa the sister of Lady

UOW DRUNKENNESS IS PRO
DUCED. A sudiien mental emotion can send too
much blood to the brain ; or too great
mental excitement doe the ame thine.
Il is the essential nature of all wine and
spirit In send an increased amount of
blood to the brain.
The first effect of taking a glas of wino
or stronger form of alcohol ia to send the
blood there faster than common; hence
it quicken the circulation ibat give a
red lace ; it increase the activity of the
bra1 in, and It wotka aster, so doe the
tongue But the blood then goes to
the brain faster than common, it returns
f.sfer, and no special permanent harm rc
'snltr. But supposing a man keeps on
tliinking, the blood ia sent to the brain so
much filler than common, in uch larger
quantities, tbat in order to make room for
it the arteries have to enlarge themselves;
they increase in siae, an i in doing so
press against the more yielding flaccid
veins, which carry blood from the brain,
and thus diminish their s:xe, their pores ;
the result being the blool is not only car
ried to the arteries of the brain faster than
is natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving il a fast a usual ; hence a
uiiulile set ol cause ot dentil are set in
operation. Hence a man may drink e
uough brandy or other spirit in a few
hours or even minute to bring on a l.ital
tit tack of apoplexy ; this is literally being
dead drunk.

On of our aeliv and saaloae Mason
foand himself in a railroad ear just a boot
leaving for Albany, fit a tit a lib one
whom be remembered several year tinea
to have met ia a Lodge in tbi city. After
lbi Inlei change of th usual compliment,
lb former, A, asked tbe latter, B, to
what Lodge be now belonged.
B Ob, I don't belong to any Lodg
now. Alasonry did me no rood. 1 never
mada by it."
A WW,' I did not iottr- Maaonrr to
make anything out of it. Qnite ibe con
trary i aud yet I unexpectedly made
some thing out of it tbi very day."
It "Indeed ; bow Is that!"
A "When I went to buy my ticket,
I made a tign and the brother civ me a
first class ticket for a coud class price."
B pTiu auite rusivi I fornt tbe
tign. ' What one did you make T"
A "I placed the forefiinger of roy left
hand on my left cheek, and middle finger
of lb same on my right cheek, forming
a triangle . I then pointed the index fin
ger of ihe right band through the trian
gle, aud wagged it at him. He rt-cogniaed
it, and you kuow ibe result."
Albany was. reached, .and a few days
afterward B was returning. He went to
the ticket office, and did exactly as A
bad described, at tbe same lime banding
the price of a second class ticket, and
demanded 'one of the firat class. Tbe
ticket agent demanded tl 00 more. The
lgri wa repeated.
" hat M the devil ar vow making
face at me for !" "Why, it is ihe sign,"
B., "'don't you reergnixe ill .1 want a
first class li kel for a second class price."
The agent telt insulted, and said if he did
not pay flOO more he could not have a
ticket ; and if be mad any more signs
at him he would kick him out. B paid
the fare, and in the car met A. He told
what bad occurred, aud said he wa more
convinced than ever thai Masonry wa a
humbug.
A laughed ouliight and said, "Well j
you must be very rusty indeed, llie
sign 1 gave yon was upward trip. If you
wanted a ded ution made joii should have
referred hands, and mrtde tint wagging
with the index finger of the left hand -Thai

Mamiaoe. In Virginia, where the law
fixes the marriage fee at one dollar, there
ia a reminiscence of a couple who many
years ago called on a parson aod request
ed him lo marry them.
"Where is my fee?" laid the function
try. Tbe parties wbo were to unite tbeir
fortune did so at once, and found the
joint amount to be twenty seven cents
' Can't marry you for tbat sum," said
the irate old gentleman.
"A little bit of service will go a long
way," suggested the male applicant.
"Oh no," said the parson : "you don't
pay for the eixe of the bill, but for tba
good you hope it will do you."
The lass, intent on marriage, begaa to
weep, but tbe parson wa inexorable, and
the couple turned sadly to depart. Just
then a happy thought seemed to strike
th forlorn maiden, she turned and cried
through her tears : '
"Please, sir, If Jou'canl marry US full
up, won I you marry
ua twenty seven
come for the rest
cents worth t We can
some other time."
This was loo much for tbe parson. He
married them 'full up,' and they went on
tbeir way rejoicing.

Life is full care, beset with difficulties.
What heart is there that has not some
secret bitterness, some painful solicuitude,
of which it would be gladly relieved ?
It leis down with the man at night it
rise with him in the morning ; it is a
weight upon hi spirit to aubdue, if net
consume it, day by day. But beloved,
however it may be with others, it ought
not to uo so with you, ibat are Christ'.
You have a refuge which others baverrot;
you may take all to Oue who says, I caf
for you: One that bid you come to Him,
and let Him care instead of you. Oh j
be persuaded to II im whether He will be
a good as His w-ord. Trust Him with
this day's anxieties ; and, if it be for once
only, see if He fail your hope, thongh it
be ever so faint and feeble. Oh, no ; He
has never failed ihem that seekUim. He
haa said, and lie does as He says, "I will
never leave thee nor forsake thee."
GRATITUDE.
a grateful man delights in -returning a
benefit received He acknowledges hit
obligation with cheerfulness; be looks on
his benefactor with love 1 and esteem.
And If to return It be not in bis power,
he will nourirhihe merrory of it in bis
breast with kindness ho will not forget
it all .the days of bis life. The band of
the generous man is like lha rains of
heaven, which drdp upon th earth fruits
and flowers. But the heart of the nn-grateJuLia-Ukis:
swallows with greediness, the showers
tbat fall burying them in hit bosom to
bring forth nothing.
Itnvy not thy benefactor, nor strive, to
conceal the benefit hu haa conferred. For
though, to oblige is belter than to bo
obliged, though the act of generosity
"Ctmtmand admittiiw j"y the hnroiKty
of gratitude touches the .heart, and it

But receive no favors frouf the hands of
the proud ; to the selfish bud" avarice will
