Ever so long ago Richard Vaux was a marvellously handsome and fascinating young man. He went to Europe, and being possessed of large means had access to the best society, and even attracted the notice of the young Queen of England, who had but then just come to the throne. It is said - the story being told to me by persons high in authority in England - that her heart's first affections were given to Richard Vaux of Quaker City, and she would have married him if she had been allowed, but state reasons prevailed to deter her. The Queen of England could not marry a subject, even of royal blood, and therefore she was forced to forget her fancy for the American, - or not quite forget it: in memory of it, my informant says, she has permitted her children to marry according to their hearts' choice rather than for ambition's sake. Vaux lingered in England until her marriage with Prince Albert put an end to his wildest hopes, and then returned to his native land. Among his many gifts was a splendid voice; and the old ballad of "I'll Hang My Harp on a Willow Tree" was composed by him, she being the heroine of the plaint.

THE suggestion that heliotypes be substituted for the usual class photographs is at least worth considering. How far practicable it is to abandon photographs we do not know. It would certainly be a less bulky and less expensive method of obtaining views of buildings and the various groups. We commend the plan to the attention of the Senior class.
