THE FORTUNATE YOUTH. Prince Leopold,
II would appear, was born to thwaIt the frince
of Orange-not only of his lady love, the la
mented Princess of these Isles, but of the Bel
ric crown. Prince leopold owed his first in
reduction to the Princess Charlotte, to the
then Duchess Of Oldenburg, very clever
woman, who being ambitious Of marrying her
sister ~ the Prince of Orange, commenced by
preiudicing the young Princesss mind against
her cousin and lover-then artiully painted her
friend, the aspiring soldier, Leopold, to
youthful fancy, in most glowing colors; and
and having thus wrought up the imagination to
a proper height of excitement, she quilted
these shores : and the rival of the Prince of
Orange was sent over with an autograph let
ter from the Duchess to her illustrious young
friend The first introduction made a fixed
impression upon a mind prodisposed in his
favor. Nature had given him some external
advantages. The King was anxious to see his
daughter married, and, like a kind father, sac
rificed interest to affection-they were quickly
united and the willy Duchess as quickly sue
ceeded in carrying the other point, by the union
of her sister with the Prince of Orange. Old
Baron Stutz, the tailor, had the impertinence
to tell Prince Leopold, who was Directing tc
some heavy charges in his bill, that bis high
ness ought to be more liberal to English trades
mon, seeing what the country had done for him

all its power and preeiousness, we must turn
from the scenes Of health, and enterprise, and
gaiety and ambition and in the abodes of pow
erty, or in the chambers of sickness or death
behold it comforting the friendless, sustaining
the languid, and heal the broken and bleeding
heart. To the miserable victim of his own
trnnsgressions, ruined in constitution and IN
fortune, brought down to psin, TO darkness, and
the precincts Of the grave, we have seen reli-

ford no help, and human sympathy was una

from the rock an the desert, cover with xerdure
and with roses the rugged descent TO the
grave, and cheer the eyes of the most misera-
bic, even an death, with the light Of immortal.
