It is a great deal to ask, I know; but you see I have ho right to interfere in these matters. as I am no relative of Mr. Monkton’s. and I do not know what: to do.

For he ever turned life into jestâ€"his sor- nows and his joys. He rose and mo- tioned towards the door, and Lord Rippingslale passed out just behind him, followed by Sir BliohardMowbray, who stole a glance at the young cbmnicler as he wen-t. She saw him, then recognized him, and flushed scar- let. She did not dare, however, to let him come to her. He understood, and he went his way after the king and Lord Rippingdale.

Many a time since she had in her own mind thought of him as she had heturd her father call him, “Happy Dick Mowibrayl" and the re- membrance of his joyous face had been a help to her in all her suffering-s. ‘His brown hair was now streaked with gray, but the light in the face was the we; there was the same alertness and btwyamt health in the figure and the same row of laughing white teeth.

She became aware of it de- finitely, by the voioe of her majesty; now somewhat petitrlant. Two hours later she was walking alone in one of the galleries when, hearing a gentle step behind her, she turned and saw the king. She made an obeisance and was about to move on, when ‘he stopped her, speaking kindly to her, and thanking her for the great pleasure she had given him that afternoon.

"Your majesty, he should have the earldom promised him by Wolsey, and his estates restored to him as he left them." ' The king laughed dryly.

It is recorded by Dr. Na‘n- sen's biographers, Brogger and Roifsen, that his first meeting with his future wife was in the woods about Frogner Seator, where one day observing the soles of two feet sticking up out of the snow, he approached them, with natur- al curiosity, in time to soothe head of Eva Sure cancrge from a snow bank.

GREECE AND THE GREEKS. The present agitation of the Greek question has increased the interest of the public in all matters pertaining to the classic country.
