THE SEAFORTH EXPOSITOR
Catherine n. of Itneela.
Catherine's life was one of ceaseless
labor. . She rose at,six., both: in winter
and summer ; e!i.e always retired tO her
room at ten. Her days were chiefly
poised in, herOwn apartments, at her
desk oi in consultation with her trusty
counsellors, - She planned her -own
military expeditions, and attended to
the internal regulations of her vast
einpire. She sent out scientific men
to explore: her distant territories, and
brave navigators to trace the continent
of America and the islands of Beh-
ring Straits. She founded schools and
charitable inscitutiona and looked with
pity on. the sufferings of the poor. She
planned avast scheme of Iinternal im-
provements; built canals, roads, and
bridges in various parts of the empire ;
her tearswhen her •penitent father
plaeed her hand in that of Befrand)
Arid said : "My son, if you truly for-
give me, we shall part no more."
This, gentle reader, is a story as true
as the Proverbs of Solomon.
