Hohenzollern is the family name of
the ruling house of Prussia, as Haps-
burg is of the Austria line, Bourbon of
the old French and Spanish, and Tudor
of the line to which Elizabeth belonged.
There is territory in Southwestern
Germany of that name which was the
original seat of The family. 1t was a
principal until lS4S, when it coded its
possessions to Prussia, weary of indie
pendence in the midst of warning pow
ers. The oldest member of the family
whose name is inscribed on the tablet
of history, Count Thossiio, belonged to
the ninth century. The area of the
principality, now province or State, is
only four hundred square miles. The
people, some 1900 in all, are for the
most part Catholics, herein differing
from the royal family of the same name,
which is Protestant in faith and polity.
The name was derived from an old
mountain castle near HechiDgen, in the
Rancho Alps.

LUCK AND LABoR.-Many people COM
ought to blame their own want of wis
dom and action. Golden, a distinguish
ed writer in England, thus wrote about
luck and labor:
sLuck is always waiting for some
thing to turn up. Labor, with keen
eyes and strong will, will turn up some
thing. Luck lies in bed and wishes the
postman would bring him the news of
legacy. Labor turns out at six O'Clock,
and with busy pen or ringing hammer
lays the foundation of a competence.
Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck
relies on chances. Labor on character.
Luck slips down to indulgence. Labor
strikes upward to independence"

IInxards of a half ceutury had passed I

Upwards of half century had passed
away, when a carriage, containing an aged
and gray headed man, was seen near the
spot where the above events took place
1t stopped near the mysterious oak, and
the old man alighted. He wished to Wis
it a spot which he had heard of so much,
and in which he had reason to feel so
deep an interest. Thought after thought
of the past fitted rapidly across the old
veterans mind, as he viewed the scenes
of his early peril and disaster; and as he
reflected upon the wonderful mutations
which Time had wrought in all things
around him, indescribable emotions agi-
tated his bosom, tear trembled IN his
eye, and an involuntary exclamation was
upon his lips, when "a rustling as Of foot
step was heard at short distance, and
on looking up, he saw the form Of an
aged woman, of dark complexion and
stately step, approaching. He at first
thought of retiring; bu. as he did not
appear to be observed, he remained silent.
She advanced within a few PAGES of the
spot where the old man stood ere she was
aware of his presence, when suddenly
looking up she beheld him before her.
She was startled for a moment, and would
have fed but the old man addressed her
in respectful tone, and apologized as
we'll as his own embarrassment would al
low. There was something in his voice
which arrested her attention, and thrill
ed through her heart like sweet strain
of music from the past. She turned, and
fixing her large dark eyes upon him,
stood silent for an instant, and then rush
ing forward and embracing him, she
wildly exclaimed,
"Col- -Williston Col Williston ~
The old veteran shrunk back in sur
prise, saying,
ssThat is my name, Madam but what

daughter of Wake ko, the Wild Flower

tone of voice, she added, t'No, no-I am
but the withered stem,--the flower hath
fallen away
He looked for 4 moment upon the
blanched features of the agitated woman,
while feelings of doubt and conviction
alternately filled his mind At length,
fixing upon her more intense gaze than
before, he assured himself that it was not
a phantom, and the next moment they
were clasped in each others embrace, and
tears of joy flowed freely from the eyes
of both.
