Prince Wilhelm.

The following extract is from the Berlin
correspondence of the New York World -
"a few days ago the young Prince Wilhelm, on
graduating from his school, sent to his father,
the Crown Prince, asking permission 10 bring
home with him during vacation cassmate
with whom he had been intimate throughout the
course and who was very desirOus OF seeing Bcr-
lin. Wishing 10 satisfy himself that the bow
WAS A suitable associate for a future Emperor
OF GERMANY the Crown Prince sent o. tho
director of the school which the BOYS had
attended, making inquiries concerning the pro-
posed court visitor. The director replied that
the boy was the first scholar IN his class, but
that he was Jew, and moreover 50 straigltened
in circumstances that the state of his wardrobe
made his appearance at court in Berlin out of
the question. Permission was given 40 once 10
bring his classmate with him. But difficulty
now arose on the other side. The young Jew
had promised his mother that he would never
partake of food which was prohibited toy the
Jewish laws. and he feared that If he should ae-
cept the invitation he must find il difficult 10
keep his promise. The royal family, however,
did not think it beneath its dignity 70 respect
the scruples of poor boy who belonged 60 O.
race which the laws OF the country irOwncd upoH
not more than one generation ago. Satisfactory
arrangements were made by which tilc Young
visitor could take his meals with people of h.s
own faith. The young Prince came 90 EctlIn
with his humble guest they walked the streets

which can exist only between minds oi the ssme

the top, the other at the bottom of its scale"

King Alfred the Great.

Dr. PAUL, q German, has published an
admirable life of this monarch. Or readers
may Judge of the style of the work from the
following description Of King Alfred's early
years "What were the first objects which
presented themselves to the boys young
mind? They were, doubtless, the soul-in-
vigorating sight Of the natural beauty around
the green hue of forest and of plain, and the
blue canopy of heaven, with its clouds chased
by fresh wind over the island And then,
when his father and his household left the
palace, and proceeded TO some distant royal
residence, the ehild's eye rested, 10 doubt,
upon the boundless and ever lovely ocean,
where the whale remains supreme in the
heaving wave, and the sea-gull battles itself
But in those times the same sea was covered
by tire vessels of those lawless b0rdes. at
whose coming every man grasped his sword
and of whose ferocity and heartlessness Al
fred must have been told in the hrst words
his infant ear could understand In the
midst Of warlike hustle, and IN tho free
breeze of heaven, the boy grew mp yisibly,
10 the great delight Of his paroLts hand
sOmer IN appearance and more Gmiable in
conversation and behavior than any Of hs
brothers The charm inspired b. this mild
ness of disposition was greatly increased b.
his innate desire TO do honor 20 bis noble
birth, by the development Of An equally no
bic mind but 1t must not, howeygr, be sup
posed that he entertained any id Of what
Is, at the present day, termed n good educa-
ton In those times the Church which was
the only teacher, occupied itself merely with
the instruction of those who had devoted
themselves 10 its especial service % was q
rare exception when great lay. o king
or noble, for instance, was driven ay o thirst
for knowledge, and a conscious of 10,
utility, to learn to read and writ The e2-
ercises of his youth were confined 90 the
strengthening Of his body by war.ile games
and by the chase, while in the ca oi o.l nl-
tons Of German origin, the mind WAS, at an
early age, gaddened and improved Uy the
songs of the sages of the land 10 was the
mother or the nurse who first related 10 the
child the deeds of heroes in bygona ages, aud
how they fought with men and monsters II
ever any mother was acquainted with al the
poetical treasures Of her country, which yet
lived intact il the hearts and mouths OF AL,
II was Osburh, 10 whom Alfred aas never
tired of listening. His young heart found
delight, 10y day and night in the mighty lays
that sang of his ancestors and his people.

.ncient Jewish Costumes.

The dress of the Jewish women was spleu-
did with gold and embroidery. The queen
Of Judea was arrsyed in a garment OF
wrought gold Thus" observes Fuller,
such gallantry was fashionable among the
Jews long before any thereof was used i9 the
western parts, or Romo itself; indeed
mantle OF cloth of gold We find mentioned BY
Pliny as great novelty, though such q one
had been worn by the Jewish queens thou
sand yeahs before" Their trousers and
tunics were made OF fine linen and rich silks
embroidered in gold aud jewels they wore
also a veil, which fell over the whole psrseu
down 10 the feet. The anklets Of gold OF sil-
YER, often alluded TO in Scripture, wore very
heavy, and made q ringing sound as the
wearer walked. The pride and pleasure that
the Jewish ladies took in making q tnkLing
with these ornaments are severely reproyed
by the prophet Isaiah. II is supposed that
the caul alluded TO by the prophet WAS IL
tended to describe tho peculiar manner OF
dressing the hair. 1t was at that time dl-
vided into tresses plated with silk threads,
gold ornaments, and golden coins. Besides
the anklets, the Jewish women wore ear
rings. nosejewels, chains Of silver aud gold,
and bracelets. The earrings probably con-
tanned verse from the Scriptures 70 serve
as an amulet or charm, in which most Onen-
tails place much faith, as they believe these
amulets have power 10 averts evils md obi9jp

boxes or bottles containing rich perfume
these they fastened to chain and hung Y
their girdles The Jewish women are still
very fond of jewels and ornaments # every
kind and, wherever they dwell, are usually
as much celebrated for the cost..aes5 and
splendor of their dress as for their great
haauty
