Two Gl npses Of the Prince Imperial.

We have two recollections of this unfor-
tunate Prince, to which his cruel fate has
given pathetic signifcances. One was the
opening of the Legislative body in the year
1866, when the Emperor first associated his
SON with him officially. The splendid
Throne Room of the Louvre was crowded
with the most brilliant company of Christen-
dom, with the great officers of state, of tine
army, and of the imperial household. The
Emperor entered aad took his seat on the
raised dais at his left sat the stout Prince
Napoleon jerome; and in an espicopal robe
OF violet silk the young and Apollo-like ec-
clesiastic, since CARDINAL Ronaparte. son of
the Prince of Canine; while on his right sat
the little Prince, then ten years Of age-as
sweet and gentle child as ever delighted
mothers heart. A year or two afterward,
ON the reserved terrace of the Tuileries, we
saw two boys playing with their yelocipedes
and keenly enjoying the air and the exer-
else. One of them was the Prince Imperial
and the other Don Alfonso of Spain; the
former seemed secure IN the prospect of the
most conspicuous throne in the world,
the other had just been driven final
IL, as it seemed, from land which had de-
creed eternal banishment 20 his race. We
cannot fathom the immutable viii that rules
