MAxIMILIAN's SPEECH.

The speech delivered by Macmillan in the
City of Mexico, On the 10th ultimo, will some
what surprise those who have been expecting
his early departure for Europe. 1t does not
read as coming from man who despairs of his
cause. Nevertheless, the very announcements
"that he was still firm in the seat which the
votes of the people had caused him to occupy"
shows how uncomfortable that seat must be-,
and how critical the condition Of the empire
That "true Hapsburg' never deserts his post
in the hour Of danger may be true, for those
who like to believe it; but the least said about
the Hapsburgs just now, after their disgraeeful
defeat in the late Prussian war, the better for
Macmillan and his ricketty empire. The
Hapsburg sun has gone behind cloud in Eu-
rope, and is only struggling to shine 10 Mexico.
1t looks, however, as if the Mexican Emperor
were preparing for an earnest aud determined
struggle against the Liberals; report even Gre
dts him with an Intention to take the field in
person against the rebels The latter also seem
to have renewal of their old quarrels about
the presidency. Ortega, at latest dates, it is
reported, was acting as President at Monclova
with cabinet of his own; while rumors have
reached Havana that Juarez had been compelled
to fly to Paso del Norte

ROMANCE IN REAL, LIFE.

The New York correspondent of the Albany

romantic affair occurred in Brooklyn a
short time ago. A handsome orphan work girl,
Mary Elizabeth B lived comfortably on the
fruit of her honest labor, and had for some
months been courted by a young man, jour.

to him: "Albert, you have been pressing me to

The lover, highly indignant at the attorney and
counsellor, was too glad to obey the directios.
The marriage took place at the residence of the
bride. The evening before the wedding, how
ever, the bridegroom told Mary Elizabeth that

her the next day to the beautiful country seat

THE TWO APPRENTICES.

Two boys were apprentices in carpenter
shop. One determined to make himself a
thorough carpenter; the other didn't care" ;"
One read and studied, and got books that would
help him to understand the principles of his
trade. He spent his evenings at home, read
ing The other liked fun best. He often went
with other boys to have "good game"
Come" he often said to his shop p-mate, 'leave
your old book; come with US. What's the use
Of all this readiug?".
off waste these goldeo moments" answered
the boy, IL shall loose what shall never make
up"
While the boys were still apprentices, an Of
fer of 1000 appeared in the newspapers for
one of the Eastern States The studous boy
saw the advertisement, and determined to try
for it. After careful study, he drew out bis
plans, and sent them to the committee We
suppose he did not really expect to gain the
prize; but still he thought ''there is nothing
like trying"
In about week after, gentleman arrived at
the carpenters shop, and inquired if an ar chi
tect by the name of Washington Wilberforce
lived there.
"No," said the carpenter, emo architect; but
I've got an apprentice by that name"
'Let's see him." said the gentleman.
The young man was summoned, and Informed
that his plan had been accepted, and that the
two thousand dollars were his. The gentleman
then said the boy must put up the building;
and his employer was SO proud of his success,
that he willingly gave him his time and let him
go.
The studious young carpenter became one of
the first architects 10 the country. He made
fortune, and stands high in the estimation of
everyb body; while bis felIow-apprentice can
hardly earn food for himself and family by his
daily labor. -
