THE PRINCE IMPERLIL.

One morning, while the war was yet at its height,
the Prince Imperial, who is an intelligent and at-
tractive child, and speaks English, they say, even
better thfn French, terribly puzzled his attendants
who were at table with him by suddenly asking,
" You are always talking of the Austrians being
beaten, beaten. What have the Austrians done to
be beaten so much P" Mais, Monseigneur, they
are not sages—not well behaved." " But what
have they done—what have they done ?" When the
Prince saw the wise persons whom he questioned
rather at a loss to explain the shortcomings of the
Austrians towards the French, he said " Oh ! Ye?'
now I know, now I know ; they don't keep
hands and faces clean, and they won't say their
prayers !" Carelessness in the matter of ablution
and occasional neglect of private devotion were the
only offences which, in the innocent mind of the
Prince, could at all stify the punishment inflicted
on the Austrians. Now, as peace is made, his lila-
penal Highness is probably convinced that a con'
siderable reformation has been effected in both
at
these respects, and that the .Austrians wash that
hands and recite the rosary. their
