Ie was attending the Ascot races at the time his distant relative dled, and de- elined leaving that festive spot when called upon by the Queen to de so, Not only thls, but he appeared the following day at the races inn more consplouous place than ever, thereby greatly seandalizing numerous sensi- tive reporters of London papers, who at once telegraphed the shocking Intelligence to their respective Journuls, ‘The editors com- mented on the fact at erent length, and drew numerous moral lessons from it But this ts not all, Some enterprising busybody re- cently made, or pretended to have made, the diseovery that the Prince had not the slightest. reverence for tha Sadbath, and that he recently spent Sunday afternoon playing lnwa-tennis with Lord Rosebery, ‘The alleged wicked partner of the Priuce at once denied the story, but tho Journals that had tnken-notice of the matter dispose of his denfal by stating that aman who was sufllctently depraved to play Inwn-tennts on Sunday would have not the slightest hesi- taney In prevaricating about the matter— which is quite an American way of treating the subject, A TRUE MAN AND WOMAN. In reflucting upon the death of tho late President, there fs one thonght that comes uppermost in tho ntind, and it tukes tho form of tho question, What compensation Is there inthis great bereavement ?—a bereavement so overwhelming, 80 far-reaching in Its sad influonces that every ian feels not only that the country hns lost Its Chief Magistrate when it most needed hin, but that the loss ts apersonalone. It fs as if death hid entored into each home, It ty tho feeline not alone that the good President Hes still aud Ifeless by the sea, but that one of our own loved ones passed away in tha silent watehes of the night and now lies in the upper chamber walling tho inst ministrations of loving hands. So thousands of mon and women share with the bereaved wilow her, grief who never entered that happy home-circle, because theys lnve. felt ..the fluences thot strenmed ont from ft. None tho less with sad hearts they ask, What is the compensation? Why was this noble life allowed to Le oxtingulshed by the infamous assasin? What was the mysteri- ous purpose of Divine Providence In per- mittlng this awful caiumity? Such aro tho questions that crowd upon, the thinking per- son {n-these gloumy hours, What may be the purpose of God itis not for finite beings to question, Jt is enough that Ifo required this great sacrifice, and that Ills will Is irresistible, It 1s enough that we must bow to Ilis mysterious purpose, and ace copt whatevor He tay impose upon us with: out being able to discover or te understand, in our little spheres and with our dium stiht, ita meaniug, or to eriticiso tho workings of those great laws which aro for all the, and embrace the universe within thelr scope, ‘Though we may not hope to fathom the pure pose of Jehovah in this smysterlous visita- tion, It is clearly within, human possibility to recognize some of {ts compensations, and among thom stands out conspicu- ously tho persona! character of the Prest- dent and his devoted helpmate, and the influence for good which such lofty Nghts of manhood and womanhood must have upon the Amerlean people. Gon, Gar fleld has served the country patrioticnlly upon the battleficld and in her legistntive halls, but he has left no richer legacy to it than Ils elovated manhood, his spotless character, his devotion to hls home, which was to him the most snered svot on earth, Ms reverence for the homely, -oll- fashtonod virtues, his Min! tenderness for his mother, his chivairous devotion to his wife, who to him was the one woman above all woinen, his companionship with his chil- dron, his gental und open-hearted comrade- ship with men, In these latter days these quaiitics are fast gulng out of fashion. It hing come to bu deemed out of style to honor an old-fashioned mother with tho place of honor. and roveronca, If hns ‘come to bo out of style for men to hold thelr wives us above other women and show thom chivatrots attention. It hascome to be ont of styls to make the home the dearest, hap- plest, and sweetest place on earth, and to carry its homety influences inte every station. It was time, therefore, that the old-fashioned yirtues should bo asserted, and what better medtum for thelr exhibition or for. thelr example than in the person of the Chief Mag- Iutrato of the American people? ‘The home Is tho anfexuard of Amorican Iberty, and whon Gon, Garileld took to Washington all: the in- tlusnces of his Mentor home, and placed them, Ike a Nght upon a hill, where they contd bo seen of overy one, Nberty necded no other assurance that she was'safa fn his hands, Mrs, Gariiuld goon goes back without hor companion te her quiet country home, which she was so ralnetant to leave, a sorrowing Woman, sanctified by griof, to bear her bur- den alone, though the sympathics of thou- sunds of ‘loving hearts will go with her to that quiet retreat from tha world, Qrateful us all this sympathy must be, 1¢ean make no compensation for the severance of go closo n companionship, Time may temper thi loss aud God's blessing may onrich her Hfe, bus the home which they mado together, which they loved so dearly, which was so beautiful and attractive in Its simplicity by reason of the Jove which bicaged {t, can never again bo the home It used to be, for we master has gone, aud to hor who held hin dear as above all other mon. there remain only assocla- tlons and mameries, Called from this homo to take the position of the first lady of the land, this quiet, plain, and unpretentions Nule woman filled it with all the gruco and dignity of a Queon, and was not ashamed to bring to St al! the old-fashioned virtues of the Mentor home.

Never morning woro To ovoning but sumo heart dit break. All Monday millions of hearts ached with the forebuding of a great inisfertune, with the consciousness that the messenger of death hovered threateningly over the Trasl- dent's cottnge asylum by the sen, Out of all hearts hoped died, and men walted, walted sad-eyed and with bated brenth, for the tele- graph to flash Into their souls the chilling confirmation of that eruel presclence which told them that tha Inovitablo was Indeod at hand, that the fell destroyer of life was about to enfold In hig ley enbenee tho tlustrions sufferer. As tho ovening ndvanced the sturs were darkened and the atmosphere. grow humid and chilly as if in sympathy with the general foreboding of an tmpending calamity. And when, at midnight, the clang of the tolling bells, mufled by tho heavy night alr, sounded the solemn requiem for tha dead In every elty In the Inud. a great sigh broke from tho hearts of the Amorican people—tno sigh which springs from a long-treadad, deoply'deplored consummation, Mon bowed thelr heads in sorrow, women wept and chiltren wakened from the deep sleep of Innocence and trembled with fear at the expression of so much grivf. It wasa heavy day in the cottage by the sea, n heavy day In every cottage and every mansion Jn the country, ror tho despalr of the bulletins had sprend terror far and wide, and the gloom of tho President's roum was reflected In very face aboutevery hearthstone sanctl- fled by tho love of a great people.

Outside the waves beat upon the shore in mensured cadence. ‘The pulse-benta’ of the tides wore strong and regular, and they broke on thé beach as they have broken for thousands of years—those tides the music of whose ebb and flow the President go longed to hear, and from whose life-giving Influence ho hoped go nich, But within the cottage thora was none of the bolsterous strength of, the sca, ‘Thera was repose, but It wan the: dangerous repose of weakness, The lresi- dent lay on his bed of paln, suifuring still as he had suffered so long, so pattontty, and so hopefully, with a weak, wavering, feverlal‘ pulse, now wrapped ia a half-consclous stupor, the stupor of uxhaustlon, and now fn tolleatually gloar, At last he scumed to alvep calmly, Silently the wife steals out of the room; only libs two old, old frlunds, the frtonds of his youth.and early manhood, re- main, Suddenly the President awoke and and; “Tum suffering great poln, 1 fear the end Is near,” and then, In more agony, “Ob, Swalm, what a paint Cant you do gumethisg. for mo?
