This rule does not always hold good in royal circle. Princess Dagmar of Denmark was betrothed to the Grand Duke Nicholas, the heir -apparent to the throne of Russia. Nicholas died in 1865 and the Prin- -oess, married his brother, Alexander, in . 1866, and is now Czarina of Russia.

At 10 p.m., Mr Spurgeon was seen to be sinking fast, and alllope after that hour • was l'4abandoned. Mr Spurgeon's end was painless. He remained unconscious to the last Iiis wife, Dr. Fithenry and .1%fiss Thorn were present when he It died. Awe. Charles Spurgeon was one of the greatest and most widely known Clergymen intlie world. lie was born at Xelvedon, .England,Jnne 19th, 1834, 13 was educated at Colchester and Oam- ;!•;bridge, and afterwards became character. The chapel at Waterbeach was filled and he drew crowds that ovrrflowed it. Invitations to preach were sent young Spurgeon from sur- rounding places. His fame reached London and ho was offered the pastor- ate of one of the city churches. .He first preached in Southward, London, in 1853, being then 19 years old. He met with so much success that before twoyears had passed it was considered necessary to greatly enlarge the chapel, The enlargement, however, proved insufficient, and hishearers multiplied su rapidly that it became expedient to engage the Surrey Music Hall. In 18,91 the Metropolitan Tabernasle was optned, and in this church Mr. Spurgeon preached for thirty years, duriug which period his fame constantly increased. Mr. Spurgeon .published his weekly sermons for thirty-six years He also puplished "The Treasury of David," an exposition of the Psalmr in seven volume. In 1856 Mr. Spur- geon •founded the -Pastors, College, which has educated over 700 men,after- ward engaged as Baptist pastor, missionaries and evangelists. The Stockwell Orphanage, founded in 1867 by Mr. Spurgeon, has received more than 1,000 children. The Metropolitan Tabernacle Colportage Association has eighty or ninety agents, occupying districts in different parts of England. Mr. Spurgeon also establish years ago a "book fund" which has distributed free of cost over 80,000 volumes indigent ministers of various denomin- ations. Mr. Spurgeon was very much leered by his people. In 1876 he received a silver wedding testimonial amounting to nearly $30,000, and in 1884—when 50 years old --another sum of $25,000. He devoted all these sums to charity. No minister of the gospel of this generation has approached Mr. Spurgeon in fanae, popularity or efficient %%wk.
