story with regard to the way in which Prince Al

the royal palace at Windsor, at the window, whose
panes reached to the Hoor. He had lesson to lea

looking out into the garden and playing with bis
fingers the window. His governess, Miss Hill
yard, an earnest and pious person, observed this
and kindly asked him to think OF getting his les
son. The young prince said, 81 don't want to-
Then said Miss Hillyard Il must put you in the
corner. 81 won't learn, answered The little fellow
resolutely, and WON'T stand in the corner, for /
am the Prince of Wales And as he said this he
knocked out one of the window panes with his
foot. At this Mics Hillyard rose from her seat
and said, Sir, you must learn, or must put you
in the corner Il WON'T said he, knocking out a
second pane. The governess then rang, and told
the servant who entered TO say to Prince Albert
that she requested the presence of bis royal high

with his son. The devoted iather came at once,
and heard the statement of the whole matter; after
