How much longer will the variou
nations of Europe bear up under tn
heavy taxation, the severe military SCI
vice, and the manifold other burden
imposed on them by their royal mas
tiers? There is suffering enough al
over Europe, but Just now Spain seem
to have succeeded in capturing IN I'm
usual supply of miscry-morc, in fact
than rightly belongs TO her. Beside
the fearful expense of keeping up roy
atty, they have had the additional mis-
fortune Ct failure of the crops. r,

in luck, it may be twins. As the Eng.
Iish and Germans know by sad and
costly experience, that no matter how
short all the other crops may be, the
crop of royal impS of fame, that are
cradlcd in luxury, and are never abba

The oppressed condition of the ma

reminds us of II recent discovery in
Germany. A German noblcman had
occasion TO drain his fish pond, when il
was found that large and healthy fish
had been destroyed IN most singular
manner by frogs. A newspaper cor
respondent, who visited the pond short
" after ii was drained, was surprised
TO see that large number of earn, in
particular had frogs upon their back

'IpaI object of the frog, in thus riding
