‘THE PHILOSOPHIC SPIRIT OF AMUSEMENT—DRESS AXD DISPLAY—A COMPLAINT THAT MEN NO LONGER SEEK ‘THE PLEASURES OF THE SUMMER RESORT—LAWN TENNIS ALMOST THE ONLY DIVERSION. (Copyright, 1888) When we leave home and go with “the madding crowd” to a watering place we leave our own house and our tools behind us; we leave our books, our Work, the quiet daily round of duties, the un- Pleasant periodicity of ordering dinner (which, 83 M always comes after breakfast, finds us without appetite), but still which ts a “steadiment to tue thoughts” We have not that power of amusing Ourselves which we have at home when certain Fecognized employments take up our time. Our Drains, too, are diluted and distracted by the hastily repeated and somewhat commonylace Sreetings which we give of a morning to our five hundred friends, and the necessity of a constant change of dress, of being ready for the beach, the bath, the drive, "the morning visit, the luncheon or ‘the dinner, ati break us up, and we become a frag- mentary, irritable particle of the universe Defore three days have passed. Then comes a desperate Sickness of the soul, We hate the band, we haie the crowd, We are furious over Mrs. Bamfylie’s Striped dress and consider Mrs, Cherry Moya’s too Youthful nat and too youthful bloom as a personal Insult, We determine to go home to that quiet house inthe country from which we have come. But we heve made an effort to come to Pine Tree Beach, aml we “needed change.” Thus we determine to stay three days longer and endure the Striped dros, the noisy, the vulgarity of Mrs, Cuerry Moya, and so on. ‘he mowent of desperation we and desagren. conviction taut ied down to the mingled pleasure atering-place Iife with a , It ts doing us good, and That at least we shall derive one benefMt from it, We shall be very ciad to get home again, GETTING USED TO IT. ‘Then begins to creep in a sober sense of amu: meat, We get used to narrow quarters, noise and crowd, and we are aware that there are many new and beneficent Influences at work, Weare getting Out of a rut.

SOME OF THE UNPLEASANT SIDES OF HER LIFR THERE An informant writes me that it would be impos- sible for the Empress Victoria to tive in Berlin as an empress dowager. Personally she #1ll loser Little by having to goelsewuere. She always felt an exile at Berlin, and hated the paeudo-gran deu of Its palaces, its sunlessness, its east-vy-north and north-by-east windiness, its priggishness, and its harsh, narrow spirit, Mars at Berlin is an un- gallant martinet. As the grand objects in life there are drill and soldiering,women only count as mothers of future soldiers. Iv's a horrid state of Ubings, though it may have uses as sort of dike be- tween the diversified west of Europe and Telin- ridden Russia. ‘Tbe Empress Victoria never know- ing in gitlnood what it was to be suubbed and sat upon, and, having been sueltered round on all sides, did hot understand what _a dangerous thing truth is if you proclaim it tn words, She, there- fore, thought aloud, and having an active brain, sald far too much not to give on all sides mortal offense to the pedants around her, who attached to theit rigid and wretched conventionalities the importance of natural laws. There is no more touchy and, when nettled, venomous society on the face or the earth than that of Berllz. AM the serenely-high Pumpernickels Who “are classed as “Evangelical” in the Almanach de Gotha hated the Princess royal of England for taking the heir to the crown of Prussia irom one of their owndaughters. Their notion is that all high-aud-mighty Germans are the gifts of Providence to Geriman_princesse=, and that those who cannot get a German prince have natural clatm ona prince out of Germany; an idea tu Which England has tco much encouraged them, so that they now look upon the taxpayers of every monarcuical uation as born to pay them civilsiat allowances, | The healthy antipagle outspoken houesty, reach of mind and breadth of sympathy placed the English princess royal out of touch with the prigs and pedants among whom she fell, With this she had a virtue, never pardoned in royal personages by those around them—that of economy. Catherlue II made up her mind that each department of her household was to cost a certain sum per year. Whatever was robbed within that margin she would not look into, Butif the robber did not give the articles bargained for, or went a kopeck ‘yond the allowance, he was swiftly punts! ‘The Empress Victoria, who was not, as_crown Princess, wealthy, Dut was very well off, went into details of econamlc housekeeping, Which would have been pardoned in a native-born prin cess, but were resented In a daugater of the Queen of England. Curtously enough, she, the descend- ant of the electors of Hanover’ through German Princesses and a German prince, was counted “a forelgner” at Berlin and used herself always to speak of England as “my country.” Her husband Was too geutle to frown down the backbiters and maliguers of his wife, and preferred to lead the life Of a Sage as much’ as Was consistent With itis inilitary duties out of Berlin, He had spent, as a boy and youth, some years at Weimar when It Was the Ilterary’ centre of Germany, and bis mind took an indelible color from hls associations there. “The casting off of the grosser seif and the bringing out the Inner essential of one’s being” through life's discipline, Was a question ardenuy discussed in the home ‘elrcles of nis uncle and mother there, Tue lessons were hot thrown away on Lim, as he showed in the gentle fortitude with Which ‘he bore his cancerous illness. Since Mar- cus Aurelius, sicicistn never took a more lovable or touching aspect. His life for years had been a trial of patience and philosophy. He retu have the good and eschew the evil of the siation in Virtue of which he lived in opulence and was released from the struggle for — existence, Mls father was the King and Emperor; 80 think- ing Uhat in the double character of s ject _he owed ulm obedience, William to be greatly directed by the old Emperor, and to grow up a swashbuckler. ‘The Einpress Victoria might, if brought up any- where cise Man in England, Lave become recoi ciled to Berlin. ‘The queen in the early part of her reign, and the fatnily group around her, were ob- Jects'of the wildest idolatry. Her majesty then enjoyed being idolized. Her éhildren were accus- Lomed to sare the adoration of which she was the Object, for she made 1 a point to take them always about'with her. In Berlin the feeling toward the sovereign Is that of Une rank and tle toward the coummander-iy-chiet of the army. ‘The people there subinit themselves reverently but sullenly to the reigning family, but they don’t love them a bie got’ to Uke the old ei peror, becauss he was a homely, amiable gentleman, and still more because he lived toa great age.’ ‘The mass of human beings cling to fe. ‘This is why a splendid octogenarian in pub- Uc life 18 always Interesting to the crowd.

Sudden forgetfulness is not an unusual thing in the pulpit, Aubrey, the antiquary, says that when he was a freshman at college he heard Dr. Sanderson, bishop of Lincoln, well known for his work, “Nine Cases of Conscience,” break down in the middie of the Lord’s Prayer. Even the great French preacher Massilion once stopped in the middle of a sermon from a detect of memory; and Massiilon himself recorded that the same thing happened Unrough excess of apprehension to wo other preachers Whol he went to hear In different parts of the same day, Another French preacher Stopped in the middie of a sermon and was unable to proceed.
