mmmm ITVag Discourses of (Jaeen Elizabeth. Here is tlie latest outbreak of eceen- tric humor: Quean Elisabeth i; dead. It doesn’t m ike any matter how we got the in fo .-mation. This is none of oar fight— ;his quarrel between the Associatea Press and its rival We’ve received the news, and that's enough. She died, two hundred and sixty eight years ago the 24th of last month. She sur vived until the vital spark had fled, and then she saw of no nse resisting tre -inscrutable decrees fate, and. so aer unfettered soul took its flight into die mysterious void, and settled down m that bourne from which no traveler returns, unless he lias a mission to jerk .■hairs around and rap on tables for the benefit of mediums and other long*- iiaired, wildeyed lunatics. Queen Ehrabeth wasavirgin-—a vir gin of seventy; and yet the fire gleamed is brightiy.as ever in her cream-colored iye, and the delicate sheen of her fine ly tinted maroon nose contracted as forcibly asinheryonth with the alabas ter on her brow; and the pings in her teeth were -just as valuable as when gold was at L56. ' ' She had no. small vices. She didn’t unoke or chew, or beldng to the society for the promotion of cruelty to ani mals. . And when she swore, she nev er descended to the vulgarity of Hor ace Greely—Queen Elizabeth didn’t. When she used profanity she gave it with a finish, an elegance, a delicate airy grace, and infused into it a luxu rious abandon, and rounded it off care fully at the corners, and dressed it up with well selected poetical adjectives, so that it sounded like a strain from some sweet singer, like some sweet sing er straining himself, in fact. And sue had red hair. Her chignon was burglar proof. And Often in the dim twilight of even’, when the sun. had sunk to rest, when the western sky was filled with tender radiance and lambient light, and the bulbul woed the rose in the back yard, she would play a few notes upon her harpsicord or write a Latin hymn or an essay upon the Harrison boiler. HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL J. T. WATERMAN. BY X T. WATERMAN. THURSDAY MOBNENG, FURNITlfRE DANIEL WEBSTER OX THE SAB BATH SCHOOLS. EDWIN IV!. BROWN, Pbof. Pease—Dear Su-: I have re ceived your, very able and interesting annual report of-the condition of th- New York Sabbath school Association, and read it with great pleasure andin- straction. It is gratifying to learn that in “a city where vice and immorality ran riot with impunity,” . a few - hum- ble Christians have devoted their timt and/energies to the’ cause of religion and I fervently pray that your labors may be crowned with success. The Sabbath school is one of t the’ great institutions of the day. It lead? our youth in the path of truth and morality, and makes them good men and useful citizens. As a school of re ligious instruction, it is of inestimta- ble value ; as a civil institution it it priceless and has done more to preservt our liberties than grave statesmen and armed soldiers. Let it, then be fos tered end preserved nntil the end oi time. I once defended a man charged with the awful crime of murder. At the con clusion of the trial I asked him what could indiice him to stain his hands with the blood of a fellow-being. Turn ing his bloodshot eyes full upon me, he replied in a voice of despair, “Mr. Webster, in my youth I spent the holy Sabbath in evil amusements, instead of frequenting the house of paayer and praise.” Could we go back to the early years of all hardened criminals, I believe, yes, firmly believe, that their first departure from the path of morality was when they abandoned the Sabbath school, and their subsequent crimes might thus be traced back to the neglect of youthful religions in struction. Many years ago, I spent a Sabbath with -Thomas Jefferson at his resi dence in Virginia. It was in the month of Jane, and the weather was delightful.

In Seville, which is popularly sup posed to be in Spain, there is in use a most felieit invention in the way of making love clandestinely. After dark, young calballeros steal beneath their ladies lattices—which, perhaps is in the third story—and softly, un screwing the handle of their walking sticks, proceeded to extract from the same, which are hollow, length after length of hollow tubing, screwing them together after the fashion of a Japan ese fishing pole or the old apparatus wherewith sweeps clean chimneys, A mouth-piece is fitted into each end, and one raised to the window above. Soon, by this aid of this im provised speaking-tube, two souls with a certain unanimity of thought, and two hearts with a possible unison of pulsation, are swiftly communing. Now all this is veiy nice, seductive ly romantic and all that sort of thing, but mark what, the knowledge of it brought to a certain youth of Balti more.

Constitu tion; of avoiding the rock on which the French republic wrecked. “Burke,” said he, “never uttered a more impor tant truth than when he exclaimed that a ‘religious education was the de fence of nations.’ ” “Barikes,’ said Mr. Jefferson, “has done more for our country than the present generation will acknowledge.

I then tumed to Jeremiah (there was a fine folio of the Scriptnres before me of 1458;) and read aloud some of those sublime passages that used to delight me on my father’s knee.

Her last words were, ‘•Kill Horace Greely before he has a chance to write ‘What I know about Fafniing.’ ” There was not a dry eye in the second story front room. Every body was thmking how Mpossible it was to fulfill her request and to escape so much misery. But she-has now gone; she has now left ns; we shall see her no more. Perhaps if is for the best. She was a vigorous woman; and perhaps if she had lived she might have come to America, and we might have given her offense, and she might have .pranced around here and flogged us Uke the very'nation.
