" Now.” said the lad, “touch ’i-in again, if you dare,” wlicrenpon the Prince ngnin pitched over the shells; and the lad “ pitch- ed into him,” and gave him such a licking as few pi-iuccs ever had. His lip was cut open, and his eyes ofa colour which might have well become the champion of a prize ring. His disﬁgured face could not long be concealed from the royal mother. She inquired the cause of its disfigurement. The Prince was silent, but at last confessed the triuli. The poor boy was ordered ln-fore the Queen. He was asked to tell his story. He diil so in a very struiglit-forwartl iiiuii- ncr. At this conclusion, turning to lll'l' child. the Queen said :—“ You have Iiccn rightly sci-veil, Sir.

'l‘lio gorgeous palace of the wisest of mon- arches, with the cedar, and gold. and ivory, and even the Temple ofJerusalem, hallow- ed by the visible glory ofthe Deity himself, are gone; but Solomon's reservoirs are as perfect as ever.
