' How -was it tnat half cn island over which Queen Elizobcth ruled developed into the world-wida empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of he race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colonize, to rule subject races, and to administer thrir affairs. - That raca was sprung of sue cessive seafaring- invodors of these is lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores, and taught to achieve naval superior ity as a necessity of their position. " As early as Edward III. the sever eignty of the narrow seas was asserted, and conceded as a' matter of course by the people of-the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the. insularity of our position became more marked r. our possessions, in Europe dwindled away. The drill rergeant, who is the artificer of German fortunes, has had no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccupations have not risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Naval superiority has been the guarantee of our shores, and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad. - ' CARVED HIS OWN COFFIN. PERSON A I.

' A coffin yarn from England is this, from a- Nottingham paper: "The hobby of an old gentleman, who has just de parted this life in Duddlestone, jvas wood carving". Being of independent means he was able to devote his time to the craft and become a very artistic craftsman. After filling his house with hand-carved furniture he turned his at tention to the carving of an oaken coffin, to contain his remains. Over the richly-carved panels he, spent much loving care. In this coffin de,' luxe he was buried recently, and in accordance with minute instructions in his last will and testament, was followed to the grave, by one mourner only a young1 man to whom he had left the bulk of his property, ignoring all of his rela tives. The coffin was conveyed to the churchyard in the old gentleman's pri vate vehicle, drawn by his favorite pony." A 4-ropm Keller. For Bent. cottage. Inquire of ttituatluu. W anted.
