| FAITHFUL LOVE FOR YOUNG LIEUTENANT-RE-
| JECTING THE HIGHEST OFFERS IN THE LAND
| KNOT THAT PUZZLES THE PRINCE.
In number of the B0ersen Courier of Ber-

| domestic life which is uncommonly interest
| ing Most people who read the newspapers
have heard Of the great Chancellor's daughter
The young lady though not beautiful, is ami
able and accomplished, and accustomed to
the homage OF the high society i'll which she
moves. With her father she has been great
tavorite ever since she grew up. When in
Berlin he has been wont to spend with her
whatever leisure moments he could snatch
from his laborious occupations, and in the
country his idle hours have been usually
passed in her society. The Prince observed
with concern that his daughter repealed all
proposals Of marriage made to her. Though
wooed by the most eligible suitors, among
the heirs Of the richest families, members
Of the most ancient nobility, gentlemen
filling the highest official positions, even
a prince, the young lady declined them all.
After brooding for long time over the
possible reasons Of his daughters conduct,
the Chancellor, believing at last that he had
iathomed the secret Of her severity. opened
his heart to her ON the subject. He told her
he felt sure that she must have become pro-
herself in position and wealth He then
begged her to mention the name of the man
to whom she had given her heart, as ne. her
father, was. rich and powerful enough to
change the conditions which might seem
to render her lover an ineligible match. With
flowing tears the young lady confessed that
she did cherish such an affection as her
father suspected, an affection that was re-
turne +, but that her lover was simple
lieutenant in the army.
The next day the Lieutenant appeared in

become my law; Notwithstanding the
difference of social position, your wish shall
be accomplished. Though | do not know

fcent guarantee of your worth
But instead of the joyful thank which the
Prince naturally expected, he received reply
of the following tenor = thank you for
your infinite goodness, but this union is inn
possible. belong to all old Catholic family.
| cannot take home as my wife the daughter
Of him whom my family regard as an enemy
of the church, whom [ myself am almost
compelled to look upon as such
The officer then sadly took his departure,
leaving the Chancellor utterly COMPOUNDED |
cellor told her that the officer had wholly re-
fused her hand, and that she must forget him
The daughter becoming paler than ever |
replied He is too honorable to deny his |
religious faith. will not ask him such sac
ritice, and if he desires it less believing
than he will adopt his religion, to render
our marriage possible. The father saw his |
child become more inconsolable from day to
day. and at length he was thrown into a state
Of fearful excitement, which WAS not without |
