CASSEL'S ART COLLECTION.
Purchased Mainly With Gold Paid FST
Hessians Sent TO America.

Cassel is perhaps the only town
in Germany with a distinctly Amer
lean chapter in its history, and yet
it is seldom visited by Americans.
Once upon a time there lived in
Cassel the Landgrave Frederick IL.
of Hesse. He seemed to have been
a very amiable sort of prince, with
a level, practical head on his Shout
ders. lie loved his capital city, ly-
ing in the mountain Graded plain,
and he could look out Of his palace
windows any fine morning over the
waters of the Fulda, which wound
its lazy thread under the city walls.
He divided his time between imprOv-
ing the town and amusing himself.
In Cassel broad squares we're laid
out, streets cut and buildings erect
ed, while up on the hills at the cas-
tie Of Wilhelmshohe the landgrave
held court, where ladies fair and
gallants bold united to do him
honor.
So all went merry as a marriage
bell until the year Of our Lord 1776.
Then from over the seas came news
of wars and rumors of wars. The
American colonists, impudent ras-
Gals, had revolted against the
king of England, and the land
grave pricked up his ears. At
last one fine day Frederick II. in
Cassel received a communication
from George III. in England, and
the result was that several thousand
loval Hessians were hurried off to
aid the British in America, and the
landgrave received a neat little con-
sideration in the shape of several
million dollars. And then
Many of these Hessians made the
long voyage only to be surprised one
night as they lay on the banks of
the Delaware and taken prisoners
bv a colonial general named George
Washington, and Cassel became the
owner of an art collection which,
though small, is one'of the finest in
Europe, and which was purchased
mainly with British gold paid as
hire for the Hessian soldiers sent to
America.-Grace S. H. Tytus in st.
Nicholas.
