Unhftf>py Spain ! It had been cursed
for nearly 1 ! woeeßturie- by :t royal fam
ily whielvha- united the pride ami lan
guor of alropaniard-, with the obsti
nacy and ignorance of the Bourbons.
IsaMlu 11., the tawdry, idle, sensual
woman jast driver 4 from the throne of
>pain, fitly end-a iymtsty which has
never contributed to the throne a re
sjtectable individual.
Her full name wa- Marie Louise lsa
liel. and she was born in 1840. Her
fail.tr u.t- that absurd incompetent
Ferdinand VII., whom Na|>oleon de
prived i f ill's crown, in order to place
it upon the head of Joseph Bonaparte.
This Ferdiuand, as the reader may re
meiiilie'r, was so infatuated by Napole
on that he sent from hi- French prison,
"his sincere compHments"to the En
j.< ror .; n the in- allati. nof his well
t \- ! roi ;• lip n the throne of
Spain." Nay, more, the dethroned
ii. : r, wrote to Joseph - diciting the
"honor of his triemiship," and asking
! ' ■ • ■= rated with the grand cordon
of his f dr. At the same time, he sent
him proclamations, signed by his own
hand, - i; .g upon his late subjects to
-uiunit *. ilieir new - vereign. At the
chat tea u a-signed Him by Napoleon, he
eel ' rated the victori* - that conquer
or by fireworks and illuminations, and
e-j * ciaily did be thu- celebrate the
victorii - gained by Napoleon over the
Spanish. Having asked in vain the
band .;f an imperial Price--- in mar
riage, he -t - >pt-1 o write to one of Na
poleon'- >criator- words like these:
"That which occupies meat present
i- the ard t and cherished desire of
my heart to become the adopted son of
his majesty the Emperor, our august
sovereign."
After degrading him-elf and his
c untry thu-, he was ali-jwed, upon
th settic:i "Ut of European affairs, to
return to >pain, and ivascend the
thsone. Then, with his usual weak
ne-, be fell into the hands of ad
visers who caused him to revive the
I. -vu-lreLuijito t!.e system
<if ahs-duti-goverwm--r. There never
v. a- ;i w or-e ki ig. He would have ru
ined Spain, If Spain h;*. d not existed in
a state of ruin for a hundred years.
He was oue of those bad, weak mon
arch- who are as uttgratefui to their
friend- as they are to their enemies.
One day, |.val volunt*ers c-aine to sa
lute him, he &aki to the attendant
courtiers:
"These are the same (logs, with dif
erent cod.ir.-.''
There time- this royal fool had been
married : but each of hi- wives in suc
ce-sion li ttl died, without leaving an
heir to the throne. In l-L'if, he married
a daughter of the king of Naples, whoa
year after gave birth to Isabella, the
-timed of this article. .Shu came of Iwd
blood n both sides; for it is difficult to
say whlcji roya! family the u>or3
detestaide. that of N.iole- or of Sain.
Ruled by hi- new a ife for it was a
nect-.-ityof his nature to be ruled by
aoiuei . .y the king now promulgated
ao -si.- tv.hu h wa- the cause ol i.,-t;i;g
calamities. For a hundred and fifty
y- ars the Salic law had l.en iu force in
s-, ain, which exclude- females from the
tLroii -. A rdiiig to this law, and ac
cording to pubiieexpeet.nion, Don C'ar
! -, lie King's brother, \as the hel t
pn s';mp.ive, and the new bora infant
was txc. i'ied. Ferdinand'- young
wife, however, three day- after the
b.rth of 1-abeila, |*revailed ujKjn him
to is- a-; a decree which annulled the
Sa.ic . w, and re-c-tabii-htd the right
o; female- to inherit the crown.
a after to appetist* the anger of his
brother i trio-, he rescinded the decree.
A little later, overcome by the re
proa - o his wife and hi- wife's fam
ily, in re-established it. Soi-u after
tins --c ind promulgation, the poor
weak king uicl, leaving t > his daugh
ter. aged two years and t even months,
a disput d ion. and to Spain ft
civil o.;r. fi. quecu mother was ap
p 'hited Regent of the kingdom. To
ingratiate herself with toe pt <pie, she
g: . la liberal e*mtitutkMi. The
Cortes, -< .a after, formaly accepted
hv-r daugh'< r a- QtK- n of >pain, and,
a> foriualiv, rejected theciaiui of Don
Carlo-, 'i hat pnuce, however, at the <
head <.f a Ibruildabie party, maintain
ed the coutost f r-even yeur, during
w hicti some of the fair—i provinces of
Spain were devastated by fire and
sword. In August, Isjo, the forces ol i
i u Carlos were finally defeated by
E-partero, and the l'riuce himself j
sought refuge iu Fran *. He subse
quently retired to An-tria, where he

During the minority of Is toelia, the
history o; Spain cun-ists only of tiie
struggles of rival politicians, and par
tial, iruitlc— revolts. la .Spam, a- ev-
ery where else on earth, there was a
ii;j- i*ul party and a conservative party,
both coat 'tiding lor the possession of
the government. Sometimes the lor
ies triumphed. Theu an insurrection
would give a brief ascendancy to the
literal party. Ministries Were formed,
only to be dissolved. The mother of
the young -u became, at length, so
o ii"u, that -he was C'>mj*'iled to seek
safety in France, and on her return
she gave herself up completely to the
conservatives, anil placed the whole of
Spain under military law. Meanwhile,

when she was not yet fourteen years
of to have attained her majority.
At -ixteen, Isabella 11. was a robust,
rosy and handsome girl, distinguished
for nothing, ex. > jt, perhaps, an unusu
al love of pleasure and decoration. The
question of h> r inarriage agitated Eu
rope. England offered Prince Ix*op
old of Coliurg; Rnssia recetntuended a
son of that Don Carlos who hail fought
seven years for her throne; Louis Phii
lipeof France was in favor of her cousin,
Francis, Duke of Cadiz, the son of her
father's brother; and other powers
favored the pretensions of a Prince of
Sicily. The crafty poliliees of Louis
Phiiiipe carried the day, and site mar
ried her cousin when Mie was not quite
seventeen. At the -suae time the Duke
Montpensier, a sou of the king of
the French, married the Queen's -is
ler. ~
Her reign has been a continuous
scandal. Indolent, luxurious, and vain,
she has not ■ ven had t he grace to set an
example of common u vency to hersub

that,although -he has had several chil

herself with gos-ip, games and the

is earlier than with u-. After dinner it
was her custom to repair to the garden
w here she frequently -pent some hours
in dancing and other amusements. In
the evening, assuming an attire more

and on he; return, proceeded to her

il very decent Kuu.a ; l>eiug in Spain
i('.'kei upon the scandals of tiie palace
with disgust, contempt and shame;
remembering that there was once up
on the thi " ne an Isabella of more than
spotless fame. The Spaniards, with
all their faults, havegreat pride of char
acter and the country. The men, as a
rule, are honorable, the women a* a
rule, are chaste. The sjteetaele of a fat
and ;t" -ual woman, loatled with here

but without posessinga -park of Cath

Seldom fia- a revolution taken place
with so little violence. The spirit of

A New York com-pendent of the
Boston paper writes:
The fact that Gen. Grant passed a
Sabbath at West point and did not at
tend church. though the Post Chaplain
i officiated near him. has been com
mented on by the press generally. It
i- somewhat a -ioguiar fact that as far
a- it i< known no President of the Uuit
el S ate- -in>'<* the day-of Washington
has been a eommiHMeant in a church.
John Adams was the representative of
theliUral community of his day. Jef
ferson \va- stvle<i a free-thinker. An
attempt w e> made when Jefferson was
a young man to make the Episcopal
Church the established religion of Vir
ginia. John Leland, a travling Bap
tist minister, pri ached a sermon in the
presence of Jefferson on what he called
the "incestuous connection of the
Church and State."' This s-raion con
verted Jefferson to that doctrine. His
persistent oppo-ition to a State religion
caused him to be stigmatized as an infi
del. Mrs Madison was a communicant
a: the Epi.-t ipalChurch. Her husband
was not. Monroe was a memlier of an
Episcopal parish but not a communi
cant. John Quincy Adams, though a
member of a Unitarian parisii in Ma-s
--achusc tts, held a pew in the Second
Presbyterian Church iu Washington,
of which he w as a trustee, and there he
worshipped until his death. In a vio
lent snow-storme I -aw him wading to
church, on Sunday, with the snow up
to his loin-, and he was one of the seven
persons who composed the eongrega
tion that n jrning. He never cotn
muned in the church. General Jack
son wa- a r*-„ ulur attendant on Sunday
morning. He worshiped in the Second
Presbyterian < hurch, until his quarrel
with the pastor about Mrs. Eastun.—
He then left for the 41 strtet Church,
and took his Cabinet with him. He
always came early and entered his
pew, which was on the right side of
the church a- he entered. Earnest and
devout attention he gave to the ser
mon. It was his custom, at the close
of the sermon, to rise in his pew and
make a very courteous bow to the min
ister. and then walk out, the audience
waiting in their i>ews tii! ha reached
the vestibule. Van Buien's home
church at Ivinderhook was Reformed
Dutch. At Washington, when he
went to church, he attended St. John's
Episcopal in the morning. Mrs.
Polk was a devout and earnest Christ
ian woman, belonging to the Presby
terian Church.
Mr. Polk accompanied it is family
every Sunday morningtothe Four-and
a-half-str'-cl Church. Mrs. Polk usual
ly attended the Second Presbyterian
Church in the afternoon, where she
held a pew. The President seldom ac
companied her at the. second service.
General Taylor was not a professor of
religion. When ne attended church
he sat in the President's pew at St.
John's. President Pierce was a mem
ber of the Congregational Society in
Concord, New Hampshire, but not of
the Church. He was very regular in
his attendance at the Presbyterian
church in Washington • n the morning
of each Sabbath. Buchanan attended
the small Presbyterian Church on F.
street, near the White House. This
wa- his reiigiuus home during his long
Senatoriol life. He was no member.
He came to worship usually on foot
and unattened. His pew was on the
side, about two-thirds of the way from
the door. He u-oally walked up the
aisle with a cat-like step, went to the
extreme end of the pew. curled himself
up in the corner, and - Idum moved
till the - rvi< closed. H rarely -jioke

Anotie r -.;e to tin. mystery envelop
ing the fate of sir John Franklin and
his fellow-voyagers amid the ice-bound
regions of the Arctic /.one, has been
di- -overt J. lit the recent arrival from
the |io!r regions, of Dr. Smith, of
Dublin, late and interesting iuteiii
g-a ■- atfordt I respecting the search
now prosecuted by Captain Hall, tor
trace- of remains of the Erebus and
Terror and their ere .-. In August,
Ism. Captain Had was at Repulse Bay,
preparing an expedition to King Wil
liam- I-lund. where, from informa
tion obtained from the Esquimaux, it
seem- beyond doubt that important
records and some relies ef the Frank
lin expedition are preserved. The
point to be teached was four hundred
and fifty miles north of Ilepulseßay,and
in a country where the inhabitants
were known to be hostile to Europeans
and to th. E-juimaux living at Re
pulse Bay. It wa- the opinion of the
latter, who are known as King Alb rt*s
followers, that Franklin's men had
been kiiied bv King William's men.—
According to ' alive information, the
last six -urvivors of the party built a
cavern or rude vault of stone-, and de
posited in it some documents and -ueh
articles as they had no use for, or would
bean incumbrance to them in their
journey northward. It is Dr. Hall's
object .o reach this depository, and
from his weii known reputation tor
intrepidity, energy and endurance, it
may las presumed that no dangers or
hardships will deter him from his pur
pose.
It will doubtle-s cause a thrill of
mingled surprise and sorrow to learu
that after all that has been done to di
ooverthe Franklin expedition, two of
its ur m tiers survived to as recent a

period as 1864. They were Cap!
Crozier and a steward of one of the lost
vc-s!, who died near Southampton
island while endeavoring to make their
way to that place, in the belief that
they would their find a whaling vessle
which would carry them home. Dr.
Hail i- confident of the identity of
Oapt. Crozier with one of the men so
described to have perished, and has in
his pos—'-k>n several articles that be
longed to him. The fate of the two un
fortunate men, who, after eighteen
years wandering in Arctic wastes, had
so nearly reached a place within reach
of civilized men, forms one of the sad
dest chanters in the melancholy and
mysterious story of the said expedition.

READING FOR FARMERS' BOYS.- An
intelligent and thrifty farmer says:
"But for the co-operation of my boys
I should have failed. I worked hard,
and so did they. The oldest is nearly
twenty-one, -.rid the other boys in the
neighborhood, younger, have left their
parent-; mine have slu -k to me when
I mo-t needed their service-. I attri
bute this r-'-ult to the fact that I have
tried to make home pleasant for them.
I have furni-hed them with attractive
and useful reading; and when night
comes and the day's labor is ended, in
stead of running with other boys to the
railway station and adjoining towns
they gather round the great lamp, and
become absorded in their books."
Such is substantially the testimony
of a farmer who has known how haid
the struggle for a footing on free soil
without a capital is, and how valuable
and comparatively cheap are the aids
which good reading brings bim.— Ex.
WHEREFORE, says an exchange, so
many bald men and so few bald wo
men? Why is it that the ,-kuils of
young men in their twenties shine like
billiard italic? Why this spectacle of
bald headed barbers, rubbing the dry
tops of bald headed men. recommend
ing invigorators, warranted to produce
bushy locks in less than a fortnight,
while bald headed spectators and mid
dle aged men with wigs, look on with
derisive smiles: though all the while
their wives and and daughters throng
our streets with crowns of beauty; and
charming actresses toss their blonde
tresses in luxurous profusion on the
stages of our theatres. Our male pop
ulation will no doubt take a serene sat
isfaction in -aying that it Is because
men have more to worry them than w o
men : and have the trouble not only to
contrive how to supi>rt themselves,
but also how to support their wives and
daughters. Probably however, that
is not the reason. Women of course
have finer and longer hair than men,
but men destroy their hair by making
ovens of their heads under their hats,
and thus heat their craniums until the
hair dies out for want of air. Men
should takeoff their hats oftener or
ventilate them better.
