People aro apt to think raoro of the holiday which they rnjoy on tbo 9tb of Novembar, than t\. y <lo of tha illustrious personafio whoso birthday they celebrate, If any thing wore to happen to (he Prtoco of Wales, tbo holiday would probably bo mourned longer than tbo heir to the throne. Still, everybody hopos, apart from the holiday question, that the geniul Albeit Edward will li*o long in tbo land, for he > is and always has been a popular prince, Now-a-days a good prince in chiefly of uso as a president at social funotions, and as tbo patron of a holiday, a now picture, a button or any other frivolity which possesses the oliarm oE novelty, He in Dot necessarily Jibe the late Prince Consort, a man. with high and noblo aspirations who endeavoured to influence in a right direotion the destinies of the nation. On the contrary, he is oontented with" getting all the enjoyment out of Ufo which is possible, and with being esteemed a pleasant rather than a great man. The Prince of Wales is ten times more popular than hie illustrious father ever wag, and yet he is a very inferior man, both physically and intellectually. His good nature, however, and hie wonderful tact continually win friendships from all classes of people with whom he comes into contact, and if royalty were abolished in England and a president elected on the American method the Prince would probably etand a better chance as a candidate than any other person in the United Kingdom. Of course there are hundreds of thousands of people both in .England, Scotland, and Ireland whose standard of character and conception of duty is higher and better than that of the Queen's son, but in" tho eyes of the bulk of the I people ho is good enough. He certainly discharges the forma! duties of his groat rank with conscientious thoroughness, and displays many qualities which call forth the good will of the Empire, That in some high and noblo traits ho is deficient is to bo regretted, bat on the whole bo is a fairly good bargain for tho nation.

A sad and pitiful sight was witnessed on tha Prince of Wales' Birthday by a visitor to Carterton. Standing in front of one of the hotels was an old man on tho vorae of three scoro-and ton, with hiß hair growing down his back, his clothes torn and ragged, and not even a pair of boots to his feet, whtoh were tied up m bundles of raga. This dilapidated human creature waa at one time a successful medical practitioner, but fell a victim to the loye of atronfj drink. In the Maaterton B.M.
