The Princes Punishment.

As q child, the young Grown Prince
OF Germany, whose recent coming Of
age was celebrated with such pomp,
possessed very exalted opinion Of hia
own Importance as heir to the throne,
of which his younger brothers were
frequently the victims. Admonitions,
threats, nothing availed with him. He
grew daily more exaoting and captious,
and when poor Eitel Fritz, the second
son, rebelled, he paid the penalty in
well administered cuffs. The Emperor
appeared unexpectedly in tho play
room one day, and finding Fritz in
tears, demanded the cause.
"He wouldn't obey me-" replied his
heir, "and SO I punished him, because
I'm Grown Prince
ELEVEN. I forbidden you to strike
your brothers7" asked his father.
The young oulprit nodded assent.
