I. ^^^Rince Edward, Prince Alfred, And P...
come to an . understanding , I do not think that thou canst be very far off the scent . It is not so difficult to govern men , so that thou govern , not too much . Go where thou mayst , thou findest the same la-ws greater than those of King or Governor . It ' s work is the true charter ; freedom is the true seed of loyalty . Go and see the Capeman driving his cattle ; come and see the digger hewing out the gold ; go and see the backwoodsman in the North-West clearing the forest—it is always the same . Stand amid the dark forests , see the broad river from the lakes fall over the rock , and ask if the Queen of Victory can lift back that weight of waters ; or see the trees that have fallen under thy stroke , and ask if the Queen , with all her power , can lift that axe , or lay low that tall growth of ages . But I tell thee , lad , that the stoutest loses heart for work when he is a prisoner at his work ,. cannot lore those that hold him bond . Now , thou hast done half thy journey , and I counsel thee to go home with a good heart , not looking for what thou seekest to the right nor to the left , but expecting that it will come to thee in the straight path . " HI . So the Prince went back to the town , took ship again , and patiently voyaged home . As he went , he bethought him of all the strange lessons that experience had taught . Strange it is that the further he went from his mother ' s palace and from the reach of her Ministers , the happier were the people ! Strange that the freer each man was , the more loyal he became ! Strange -that the more each could produce for himself , the more he yielded for others ! He had found what he had not sought , but still wanted the promised gift . At length he arrived in the wood where he had seen the Fairy . As he entered it she met him , with a smiling countenance ; silently
giving him her hand to kiss , she left in his a small band with a buckle at one end ., The Prince looked at it curiously . It was a plain belt of silk , with the pure rich -white untouched by dye ; the buckle was formed like a golden spur with a red cross for the tongue ; and on the belt , in magic letters of gentle shining light , which could be read in whatever direction the belt was held , he saw this legend— " Honi soil qui mal y pense . " He looked up to ask the Fairy what that gift meant , but she was gone . Greatly oppressed with doubt , he left the wood , and went straight to his mother . " How long , my child , " she cried , " you have been wandering in the gardens !—how fatigued you look !—nay , ten years older ! " ThetTthe Prince , reminding her of his wish , showed her his present , asking her if she could tell him what it meant , since that kind , cruel Fairy had not done so ? The Queen looked at the belt and blushed , " For , " she cried , " it is a garter —not a garter of the pattern of my Herald's College , but a real woman ' s garter—and it is still warm !" She answered his question by asking him how he he had got such a gift ; and he told her , how a common working man , such as he might have ridden over in the town , had given him his shoes , which he showed to her ; how he had wandered all over her dominions , even to the other side of the globefeeling hunger , enduring toil , facing death , wandering in pure trust , even as her people do ; and how , when he came back , the Fairy gave him that as the thing he sought- —that gentle pledge whose counterfeit is the proudest badge of the noblest in the land . Then , reading the words , " Honi soit qui mal y peHse , " and murmuring— To work , to know , and to think no evil !"—the Queen kissed her son , and said . " Go , my child , you have what you sought !"

The Cabmen's Strike M Gusgow.—-This Absu...
The Cabmen ' s Strike m Gusgow . — -This absurd strike is already at an end . The idea of preventing a person from going in a cab , if so inclined , on a wet day , with his family to church on Sunday , was so extravagantly wild that even Jehu himself could not stand it long .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE , Friday Evening , December 22 , 1864 . OoHBOxa havo boon not ovor lively again this week . The supposed dlssonaiona in the Cabinet and the opposition to the universally unpopular Foreign Enlistment Bill , shaking public confidence , as also the renewal of an agitation about fcho French loan , whioh last week was said to bo sot at rost . Mr . Gladstone too . has the misforbnno of being oxaoodingly unpopular in the City . Mr . Baring does not approvo of him as a Ffcnanco Minister , and Mr . Baring's opinion in tho City , amongst moneyed men , ia received as authoritative Sundry rumours aro afloat as to tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer ' s dispositions for tho coming Budget . Tho old City mon shako thoir heads , and afllrm that tho Chancellor must come at last to a loan , oithor openly or by a " dodgo . " In the ono case Consols would fall at once ; in tho latter , by degrees . If negotiations go on during tho reooss botweon Russia and tho other Powers , or If Horr von Usodom ' s mission la productive of any Rood , that may go to neutralise tho despondency felt by the wavering of a Ministry disunited amongst themaolvcs , and without any future purpose Shares have boon lower . Tho Groat Luxembourg ; Company has hold 0 mooting 1 tho shareholders , with / good oauao Tor indignation , abused tho directors handsomely : ono of tho directors , n City mngnato and ox-Mayor , another a member of a great Imnklng-houue .
