details of the manner, in which the day of the
royal scholars is divided, may perhaps be enter
tanning to our readers \ primary regard is
paid to moral and religious duties They rise
early, breakfast at eight. and dine at two,
Their various occupations are allotted ont with |
almost military eXactness One hour finds them
engaged in the ancient. another in the modern !
authors; their acquaintanceship with languages |
being first founded on a thorough knowledge OF
their grammatical construction, and afterwards |
famlllarZed and perfected by conversation. |
Next they are trained in those military exercs
which give dignity and bearing. Another
hour is filled with the lighter Accomplishments
of music and dancing Again the happy little
party assemble in the riding school where they
may ae seen deeply interested in the various
eyoli.tionS of the menage.
Thence, while drawing and the further exer-
else of music and the lighter accomplishments
call off the attention of their sisters, the young
princes proceed to busly engage themselves in
a carpenters shop fitting up expressly for them
at the wish of the royal consort, with turning
lathe and other tools essential to Il perfect
knowledge of the craft. Thus they carly
become, not only theoretically, but practically,
acquainted with the useful arts of life. n small
laboratory is occasionally brought into requIsl-
ton, at the instance also, of their royal father
and the minds of the children are thus led up
from a contemplation of the curiosities OF
chemical science and the wonders OF nature to
an inquiry into their causes
This done, the young carpenters and students
throw down their saws and axes, unbuckle their
philosophy and shoulder their miniature percus-

| "a few days since Mr. Hannah. of our city,
observed his horse, a very fine animal, acting
strangely. He would lay hold on everything
that came within his reach with his teeth, and
shake it savagely, much as rat terrier worries
his victim.--
While the gentleman was watching him the
animal reached into pig pen that stood adja-
cent to the lot where he was confned, and lay
ing hold of good sized six months old pig,
threw it up in the air This feat he repeated,
and then setting his teeth in the body of the
(pig, crushed it into the earth, gna~'ng and

a second pig, and treating it in similar man

which he tossed into the air as lightly as cat
would mouse.

the enclosure, and called the horse to him. The
animal came up quickly, but as soon as he was
near enough, caught Mr. Hannah by the should

downward, and then setting his teeth on h
