How Luchy Young Man Got Both
wife and ~ Kingdom.

Conrad, the Emperor of Germany,
was remarkable for his unsparing pun
ishment OF all who crossed his purpose.
A quaint but true legend recites that a
certain Count LHpold, who was one of
those fearing death, fled unto a remote
forest and lived in hut with his wife.
1t happened that the Emperor, while
hunting, came to the spot and passed
the night with them. That night the
Counts wife became the mother of
son, and the Emperor dreamt that the
child then born would be his heir. As
the same dream REQUIRED thrice, he was
greatly troubled, and the next morning
he commanded two of his servants to
kill the child. They took it away, but,
being moved to compassion by its smiles,
they placed it under tree, and brought
back a hare's heart to the Emperor. A
certain Duke, passing by soon after,
found the child, and took it home to his
wife, and adopted it as his own. After
ward, the Emperor being with this Duke,
and hearing him relate, as a forest ad-
venture, the history of this boy, who
was then present, began to expect that
the victim had escaped. Being con-
frmed in this opiaion, be took him into
his service as a page, and then sent him
with letter to the Empress, in which
he charged her, upon pain of his dis
pleasure, to have the prisoner put to
death. The youth set out, and after
travelling seven days came to certain
priests house, who received him with
great hospitality. The priest was struck
with his comely air, and by his travelling
so far. While he slept he looked at his
letter, and discovered the horrible fate
that awaited him; so erasing the writing,
he substituted it for these words:
This is the youth whom have
chosen as the husband of our daughter.
/ charge you to give her to him quickly"
Next morning the lad awoke re-
freshed and said;
Adieu, dear host
The priest replied:
Remember me when you are EN-
peror.
The boy only laughed, esteeming it
jest, so he parted. On arriving at AK
la Chapelle he delivered his letters, and
so well did the strategem succeed that
the Emperor wrote, soon after, to ask if

been celebrated with great celebrity, a 5

believed his eyes when he read the let.
ter. Mounting his horse, he rode off
and with great speed to
Aix-la Chapelle. On his arrival the
Empress presented their daughter and
son-in.law. For long time the EN-
peror seemed lost in astonishment and
uncertain what to do. AT length ma
ture prevailed and he exclaimed:
THE will of heaven cannot be re-
sisted
Then he compelled the two 'squires to
reveal what they had done, and the
Count to come from the Black For est
and receive back his son, with peace
from the Emperor who left him as heir
and who succeeded him as Henry ii.
On the spot in the forest where the child
was born was erected afterward the no.

A POOR UNFORTUNATE.
what One OF the Demi-MOBdc of
London Did for Her Husband.

London Letter to the Washington Republican,
The fashionable residents in the neigh
borhood of Kensington Gardens have
just been startled by a sensational piece
Of scandal and melancholy suicide. A
short time since a celebrated leader of
the demi-monde, who lived in magnii-
cence az Kensngton, succeeded in win
ming the affections of fast young gen
tleman of high social position, aud, not
withstanding the opposition of hIs
relatives, he married her. The next day
they left for Paris. There, it appears,
the bridegroom plunged into the most
reckless expenditures, and lost enormous
sums at gaming. In less than four
months he had squandered all Of his own
and his wife's money. They returned to-
gether about month since, and took up
their abode in her mansion About two
weeks since he was induced by some
means to leave her, and return to his
fathers house. lis friends insisted on
his applying for a divorce, on the ground
that he had been duped into mar
riage. Proceedings were commenced
aud the summons served on the
unlucky woman. Yesterday morning
she was found dead on the floor of
her bedroom, having stabbed herself in
the heart. She left a most pathetic let
ter, directed to her husband, which was
clinched in her left hand, together with
his portrait. She accused him Of being
the cause of her death, and with treating
her with the basest ingratitude. She
had beggared herself by supplying him
with money, and even the furniture and
plate in her house, together with the
house itself, was hopelessly mortgaged.
This poor unfortunate was consid-
cred one of the most beautiful women in
London. She was tall slender, and
exquisitely nodded, with magnificent
head and shoulders, and lustrous dark
eyes. From documents found in her
writing desk it was ascertained that
more than year ago she had saved her
husband (then her lover from utter
ruin and disgrace by giving him $50, 900 |
to cancel his defalcation of some funds
in the bank in which he was then en-
pIoyed She had also given him other
large amounts of money previous to
marriage, and had really married him
to try to reform him. and at the same
time to reclaim herself. The affair has
caused profound sensation among the
folks of the West End, as
the young gentleman, notwithstanding
his known extravaganza and fastness,
moves in the best society.

what the Church Bem DId.

Beautiful for situation was the
pretty village of NJ. On one side
we're broad, undulating meadows. On
the other, beautiful wooded fields,
through which ran one Of the dearest
and most musical brooks, with rolling
hills beyond, whose forest crowned
nights we're marvels of beauty.
There was also such an air Of peace
about the quaint homes scattered along
its one wide street, that those coming in
from the great busy world beyond always
felt as if they had got just little nearer
heaven. But as you often find disease
at the core OF the sweetest flower so on
this bright spot, siH lurked and sore
