The education Of tie royal children being
a matter in which all anSt feel interested,
few details OF the manner ia which the day of
the royal scholars Is dpided, mag perhaps be
entertaining tooar reldeTs. These children
are eightsin number, rom fifteen to two years
of age, viz. A dausk sktera son-a daughter
IA son+-t8o daRghtSrs aud two sOns.l A
primary fegard IS paid to moral and religious
duties They rise early, breakfast at eight,
and dine at one. Thelr various occupations
are allotted out with almost military exactness.
One honr finds them engaged in the study of
the ancient, another OF the modern authors;
their acquaintanceship with languages first
founded on thorough knowledge of their
grammatical construction, and afterwards IA
miliarized aud perfected BY conversation.
Next they are trained in those military exer-
cses which gives dignity and bearing. Ano-
ther hour is agreeabIy filed up with the lighter
accomplishments. Of music and daucing.-
Again the happy little party assemble in the
riding school, where they may be seen deeply
interested in the various evosations- of the
menage Thence-whilst drawing and the
further exercises OF naIsic, and the lighter ac-
complishinents can the alte1Sl ld Of tt1sin
sisters-the Younger princes proceed to busliy
engage themselves in q carpenters shop, fitted
up expressly Tor IActn, aC TIE WISH Oh the TOY
al consort, with turning lathe and tools es-
sential to perfect knowledge OF the craft
Thus they early become, not only theoretically
but practically, acquainted with the useful arts
of lifo.
A small laboratory is occasionally brought
into reduisiton, a: the instance also of their
royal father, and the minds of the children
are thus led up from a contemplation of the
curosities Of chemical science and tie wonders
of nature to an inquiry into their causes
This done, the young carpenters and students
throw down their saws aud axes, unbuckle
their philosophy, and shoulder their miniature
percussion guns-which they handle with the
dexterity of practised sportsmen-for shoot
ing stroll through the royal gardens. The
evening meal, the preparation for the morning
lessons and brief religious instruction closes
the day.-Lomdon Court Journal.

A RESIARKABLE EXECUTION

A "A IL
We have observed several wonderful stories Of
late respecting the skill of the Chinese executoners
who it is said can strike off the heads of their vic
tins so skIlfuly that tho poor fellows themselves
never discover their loss until moment or two af-
ter they are dead. We recall to mind, however, the
story of German executioner, who far surpassed
the Chinese in professional dexterity.
Upon ono occasion, it happened that criminal
who was condemned to death had singular itch
ing to play at nine-pins and he implored permis-
sion to play once more at his vOrite game before be
died. Then, he said, he would submit to his fate
without murmur
The judge thinking there could be no harm in
hu,poring lin, granted his last prayer and upon
arriving at the place of execution ne found every
thing prepared for the gomo-the pins being set up
and the bowls being all ready.
Hecommence1 his flvorite sport with enthusiasm.
After vhlle the sheriff, observing that he showed
no nclinotfon to desist, made sign to the execo-
tioucr to strike the fatal blow while he stopped for
a bowl.
The exeeutioner did SO, but with such exquisite
dexterit7 that the cupEit did not notice or feel IL
He thought, indeed, that cold breath of air was
blowing upon his neck, aud drawing himself back
with a snrug, lis head dropped forward into his
hands He naturally supposed thatlt was bowl
which he had grasped, and seizlug it firmly, rolled
it at the pins All of them fell and the head was
heard to excIam as it re-bouuded from the farther
wall,

How no BE BEAUTIFUL.

AS we were about to start, saw the cap
tain move to an elevated position above the
wheel; and it was interesting to see how quick
" and completely the inward thought or pur-
pose alters the outward man. lie gave quick
glance to every part of the slip. He cast his
eve over the multitude coming on board the
slip. among whom was tlle American Ambas-
gador to England, who, if the captain may be
said to embody the ship, may be said with
equal truth TO emb1dy in his official person a
nations right and honor.
lie saw husbands and wives, the mothers
and children, entrusted to his care and his
slender form as he gave the orders for our de.
paTtuie, seemed at once to grow more erect and
firrn; the muscles Of his face swelled bis
dark eve gfowed with a new. fire; and his
whole person expanded and beautifed itself by
the posef 81 Inward emotion.

STANZAS.
Come with me 10 the fow'ry dell,
Come joyous child, oh come with me,
The singing bird the humming bee,
Have sought the fountains mossy cell,
The sparkling waters, fresh andfree
Thro' the lesfy vale make melody,
And the yiolet's lips are wet
With the dew ofthe early dawn;
Oh! come, for naught is wanting yet
Save only the sound of thy siIv'ry tone,
Come maiden to the shady grot,
Where smiles the blue forget-me-not,
Emblem of faith and purity
Come in thy youths sweet sunny hours,
Learn from the lowly forest flowers
Ofthe grace of humility.
Come, Oh! come, eer the worlds rude breath
Shall bid thy lovely dreams depart
And teach thy pure, and trusting heart
The fairest things ofearth were born for death
Leave thy dull books, thou restless one,
IoF.I khsgssks lItsf eEA4sl.Is riSlS 4 Sc,
aud the light Thy lustrous eye,
Ambition bath made thee its own
All dreamer wouldst thou win name
When thy heart hath grown cold, and chill,
Knowest thou, the soul hath yearnings, famo
in all its brightness neer can still
Then come, at Natrue's altar bow,
The breezy woods vii! cool thy burning brow
Come forth thou of toll, and care,
Como to the forests peaceful shade,
Where long ago, thy footsteps straycd-
By the streams where thy childhood plny'd,
Earth hath no II easures now, orare,
rs once those shining pebbles were,
Nor gold, nor gems, can ever buy
The joyousness thy childhood knew,
When frst beneath the clear bluesky
Thou didst roam where the wildwood lowrets grew
Come to the woods thou mourning one,
Come and list to the doves soft moan,
II shnlI breathe TO thy haunted breast
OFFS mansion of bliss on high
Far nway through the azure sky,
Aud there the weary areat rest.
Dewdrops gl.am from the hawthorn bough
Twine a wreath, for thy snowy. brow,
OF those blossoms so pure, and fair,
1t is meet, it's meet, they should wither therel
And thou oh sick and suffering one,
Leave thy chamber SO dim, and louc.
Once more, liftup Thy iaAguid eye,
To the green boughs aud sunny sky;
Where the wild roses spring. we'll rove;
Fair domretsF .gracing the green grove,
And blooming in the forest shade
There's a balm in their fragrant breath,
Tho born, but 70, blossom, and fade,
That breal tbs not of pain speaks not of DEATH
