HAPPY TO MEET . BIT BRO . G . IV . CHASE . Happy to meet , dear brother mine , Upon our checkered floor ; Happy to grasp that hand of thine , And spend a social hour :
Happy to meet , though brief tbe stay That we together be ; Happy to flee from care away , To meet with such as thee . Happy to leave the world awhile , Its troubles and its care ; Happy to meet and here beguile
An hour with plumb and square , Happy to meet , 0 ! happier we Than worldlings e ' er can know , Happy to meet with brothers free , AA'here comes no pomp or show .
Poetry.
Sorry to part , though down the AVest The evening sun descends ; Sorry to leave each welcome guest , Sorry to part with friends . Sorry to hear the gavel's sound , That tells a " closing" nigh ; Sorry we circle the " Lights" around ;
Sorry to say " Good-by . " Sorry ive linger around the door , Thy flight deplore , 0 ! Time ; Sooner we think than e ' er before Did peal the signal chime . " Happy to meet again , " we part , Each wending home his way ; Hoping at last , with each true heart , To meet in endless day .
Do The Thing That's Right, Friend.
DO THE THING THAT'S RIGHT , FRIEND .
By AV . S . PASSMOEE . Do but the thing that ' s right , friend , In matters great or small ; And rather than do wrong , friend , Just nothing do at all ! For wrong is man ' s worst foe , friend , Tho' oft his heart ' s deliht —•
g , Believe his counsel false , friend , And trust alone the right 1 Life is but short at best , friend , As you one day will own ; AA'hen you'll admit the wrong , friend , You'd best have left alone .
'Twill cheer your heart by day , friend , "Twill gild your dreams by night—To know you warr'd with wrong , friend , And fought the side of right 1 Then do the thing that ' s right , friend , 'Tis far the nobler plan—¦
To live at peace with conscience , And die an honest man ! So mind you bear in mind , friend , The truth I here indite—The right thing's best to all , friend , The wrong is no man's right !

THE COURT . —Her Majesty and the junior members of the Royal Family are still at AA'indsor , and the Prince and Princess of AA ales at Sandringham . There is a rumour afloat that a marriage is in contemplation between Prince Alfred and a Princess of the Grand Ducal House of Oldenbourg . If this rumour be correct , the Princess must be the daughter , not of
the reigning Grand Duke , but of his cousin , Prince Peter , who holds high appointments at St . Petersburg , ancl one of whose daughters is the wife of the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia . The Prince and Princess Royal have joined the Prince of AA ales at Sandringham , and the Prince and Princess of Hesse have returned to Hesse .
