A LESSON FOR MorHERs--The Birming-
ham (Eng,) Journal prints the following
account of 6ogging the Prince of Wales
received from poor boy: During Her
Majesty's residence some years ago. at Os-
borne, in the Isle of Wight, her children
were accustomed to rambel along the sea
shore. Now it so happened on one occasion
that the young Prince Of Wales met boy
who had been gathering sea shells. The
boy had got basket full The young
Prince, presuming upon his high position,
thought himself privileged to do what he
pleased with impunty. SO without any
notice he upset the basket of shells. The
poor lad was very indignant, and observed ::
You do that again, and III lick YOU Put
the shells into the basket, said the Prince
and see if don't The shells were gath
cred up and put into the basket. Now
said the lad touch 'em again, old fellow, if
you dare whcreupon the Prince again
kicked over the shells. And the boy pitched
into him. and gave him such licking as
few Princes ever had His lip was cut open,
his nose knocked considerably out of its per-
pendicuar, and his eyes of color which
might have well become the champion of a
prize ring His ds6gured face could not
long be concealed from his royal mother
She inquired the cause Of his Disagreement.
The Prince was silent, but at last confessed
the truth The poor boy was ordered be-
fore the Queen. He was asked to tell his
story. He did so in very straig ghtforward
manner. At its conclusion, turning to her
child, the Queen said: You have been
rightly served, Sir Had you not been pun
is6ed sufficiently already, should have pun
ished you severely When you commit
like offense, I trust you will always receive
a SIMILAR punishment Turning to the poor
how she commanded his parents to her pres
ence the following morning. They came !;
and the result of the interview was that her
Majesty told them she had made arrange
ments for educating and providing for their
son, and she hoped he would make good use
of the advantages which should be placed
within his reach"

Memories--To my Sister.


BY MoNADNoCK
Do you remember, my sister,
Our home in the ''Old Granite State"
In the days ere our family circle,
Were ruthlessly broken by fate ?
Do you remember in spring-timc,
The carpet of beautiful green,
Then spread out before the old farmhouse,
While snow on the hill-tops was seen?
Do you remember our rambles,
After sweet-scented, modest May flowers,
That nestled in green pasture hillocks,
And smiled in the warm April showers ?
Do you remember the garden,
And apple trees branching and strong,
Where the beautiful red-breasted rebins
Build their nests singing all the day long
Do you remember, dear sister,
The Bible that lay on the stand,
And how we all knelt down together
And prayed in family band?
Do you remember, one evening,
How we knelt by our fathers bedside,
How kindly and fondly he blessed us
Before he so peacefully died?
These remembrances haunt me, dear sister,
In the wales of this far-off gold land
And memory oft brings together
The loved ones and lost Of our band

He was in despair, he visited the widow and
besought of her, if she had particle Of
mercy, not to ruin his son. In vain the wild
ow protested that she had used no arts
had only seen the youth few times and was
entirely Indifferent to him-the father still
insisted, and the pretty widow promised that
if his boy came to see her again, it should
be his last visit. Not many days passed,
when the enamored youth made his arrange
ments for visit, of which the widow had
notice. The few previous interviews between
them had taken place under circumstances
peculiarly favorable to romance and senti-
ment, upon moonlight walks or in parlor
tete-a-tetes This time the timid youth was
told upon his arrival that Mrs. - was at
the barn whittier he went and found his
beau-ideal with skirts knee-high, dressed in
a mans boots, and covered with mans hat,
pipe in her mouth, mug of cider in her
hand, experimenting her men-killing hogs

PREDIoTIoNs OF THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS
-Te Indianapolis Journal gives the follow
ing extract from lecture given by the Hon
III. w. Ellsworth, late Minister to Sweden,
being the language of the Emperor of Rus
sia used in an interview with the lecturer
/
"Sir," said the Emperor Nicholas, in q
memorable diplomatic interview between
him and your speaker, during those recent
revolutions that struck down Hungary, re-
modelled France, and broke the bond of
union between Denmark and her revolted
Dutchies, causing nearly every monarch to
tremble for his throne, "Sir view calmly
all this agitation. Russia is untouched,
and will not mingle with it. Her hour has
not yet come, though her destiny cannot
long be delayed ! She will soon be in a
protracted contest, in which England and
France will be her opponent those nations
so long and naturally hostile to each other,
will be arrayed in unison against her p
"And what, your Majesty, will be the
result of this great contest ?"
Favorable to Russia beyond doubt. |
shall rise superior to all reverses, and pro-
tract the contest until l weary out my enc
mics. But there is another war looming up
in the distance-a struggle between consti-
tutional and unrestricted monarchy, in which
nearly all Europe will stand opposed to
Russia, while Turkey, her natural enemy
with Persia and Asia, will be fighting at
her side"
"Stll favorable to Russia, though it will
be bloody and protracted. But a third and
still mightier contest is approaching, in
which the world will be involvcd---a strug-
gle between what is called tyranny, in any
form, and freedom. Into thisstruggle your
nation will be forced from its present policy,
and compelled to take leading part 1t
will be q struggle such as history never re-
corded"
