The Revolution In Germany.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH.

twenty-five or thirty years since, q
very animated scene was passing at Wen
ma, in the cabinet Of the Emperor; two
men were disputing there for pre.emin-
ence in the council, and the political di-
reclion OF Austria. The one, already
old, withered and dried up, affixed in his
cour, dress, impossible and frigid, with a
gold snuff box, was obstinately defending

A few days afterwards on one of the
widest mountains of the Tyrol, popu.
laton Of hunters were exercising them
selves with the crossbow and the carbine.
Some Damascene guns, game-bags OF
scented leather, sheep crowned with
leaves, ribbons and boquets, were to be the
reward of the most intrepid and skilful
marksmen. The old men encouraged the
young people by the recital of their for
mer exploits; the women and G iris of the
country applauded with their husbands,
brothers. and especially their lovers.
A stranger advanced into the arena,
wearing with grace and nobility the pop
ular costume, and armed with bow and
gun without ornament, but faultless. He
fred with firm hand, a sure eye, and
bore away all the prizes-arms, game,
bags, boquets aud sheep were showered al
his conquering feet. He distributed tn e
first to the poorest hunters, the Others to
the most beautiful and virtuous young
girls: after which he was borne in triumph
over the mountain, and obliged TO ell his
uame. His name was greeted with ac'
clamations, which were repeated from
echo to echo 10 the eXtremities of The
Tyrol.
This was the German prince, the pro-
scribed rival Of Metternich. His popu.
laritv become such tina. the court exiled
him still further. The prince took refuge
in Upper Syria. where he led for long
years the rude and simple life of the
mountaineers. Glad in skins and coarse
clolh, like the simple peasants, he ate ane
drank with them, spoke their language
sung their songs, killed the channels a
their head, heard their complaints, solac'
ed their griefs, and distributed gold te
them with lavish hand. He taught then

vests, to cure their focks, to sell then
with profit, to derive advantage from tht
least plants of their fields and woods
He instructed them himself in these la
bors, and became one of the princlpa
farmers and bo.anists in Europe. His
learned discoveries resounded in the aca
denies of Vienna, Berlin, London anc
Paris, while his infallible shots brough
dow at two hundred PAGES the goats il
the deepest gorges of the Alps; for above
and before all he was hunter. and slep

His popularity became even greater ii
Syria than in the Tyro and reached from
mouth to mouth, entire Germany. For
tunately for Metternich and the Emperor
he had renounced politics, for, had he no
taken pity on the portfolio of the old di
plomatist and respected the throne of hi
relative, he might have upset both, with
million of peasants ready 70 march at hi
voice: Ii was then that last adventure
finished making this singular man tn
idol of the Syrian people.
