 The Russian Czarina.

"The history of the Russian czarina, says the Courier des Etat Unis, be. gins like fairy tale. There were once upon time three little girls i'll jaconet dresses who received , francs month for their wardrobes, made their skirts and corsages and filled with their youth ful gaycty the peaceful old city of Frank fort-on the- Main They were all pretty. Their father was duke so impoverish- cd that he gave drawing lessons to in crease his too modest revenues, but he bore great historic name, and the flu ture gave him large compensation. The day at length came when the Duke of Sleswiek Holstein received tho crown of Denmark, so patiently waited for. The little girls in jaconet dresses left Frankfort They became, by a happy stroke of fortune, royal highnesses. This was but a beginning.
 Several years later the eldest. the Princess Alexandra, married the Prince of Wales The youngest married the Duke of Cumberland. If Germany had not caused the principle that might makes right to conquer, she would be queen of Hanover. The second dangh- ter, tho Princess Marie, was united Ill 1866 to Car Alexander III. In Russia.

It is such good child And then it has wrongfully been accused of being too superficial l am aware that there is no affinity between it and pedantry, but it is also true that the daughter of wit is at heart on tho best terms with science. A genial demeanor seems to accord best with tue nature of women, who are never pardoned when they usurp tho SC rious gravity of the strong sex. Tho muses are anything but morose.
