Unquestionably the “al interest of Russia, and above all, her well-known policy in the Eastern question, have mainly contributed to her partiality for Prussia; but not an insignificant share in this partiality must also be attributed to personal considerations, to that near relationship which for upwards of haif a century has existed between the dynasties of Russia and Prussia; for Alexander the Second, the present Emperor of Russia, is a son of the Princess Charlotte of Prussia, the sister of the Present Emperor of Germany. The betrothal and marriage of this princess with Nichol but became atterward. Emperor of Russia, forms one of the sweetest and most romantic episodes In the world of European courts, which is usually so devoid of love and romance, and would on this account alone deserve to be re- membered, quite regardless of the historical in- terest which will henceforth adhere to all the membersof the family of the conqueror of France. Princess Charlotte was born in the year and wasthe eldest danghter of Kin, rick William the Third of Prassia, and his beautiful and accomplished wife, Queen Louisa.

But the young princess, lighting ini a hope which ‘so fully respon the secret wishes of her heart,waseither too proud or too bashful to confess 'o her father her love for the grand duke, who had not made claration to her. In this manner the day approached on which the Grand Duke was to leave Berlin. On the eve of his departure a grand supper was given in his honor at the royal palace, and by way of accident or policy, the young Princess Charlotte was seated by the side of her disting- uished admirer. ‘The grand duke was uncommonly taciturn during the evening.

At last she said, ‘* But here, in the presence of the whole court, st the public table, you put such a question to me!”” “Oh,” replied the prince, “you need not make any verbal reply.

Once she nt to Switzerland in order to enter upon an inheritance which had been bequeathed to her by a distant relative. When she came back to | Berlin, a few weeks afterward, she showed me quite a collection of pretty a» ostly jewelry, which formed part of the inheritance. * This is acurious old ring,” said Ito her, as I put the old-fashioned little ring on my finger. © Does it not look queer and cunning?

Mr. William Ruffin, commonly called No-Nosed Bill at the settle- ment, from a distigurement to his face brought on by a violent altercation some years betore with an individual known as the Arkansas Stamper, sat on a box resting on a small keg. Furniture was scarce In 1850 at the Corner. Bill shuttled the cards skilfully and dealt them slowly to his opponent, a dark-faced young versie a great black beard aud a small fore- bead. “ Blow ont that light, Stumpy,’ sald Bill; “we shan’t need it nolonger. Now, then, stranger, it's your play.” No sound was heard but the slamming of the cards on the table. The man called Stumpy waked up, and, leaning forward on both elbows, watched the game bead of perspiration starting from the saromit of the stranger bi meandered slowly to the extremity of bis nose and hung there, glistening like a diamond in the morning light. “The game ended and No- Nosed Bill calmly scraped off the stakes intoa leather bag, now quite full, which he drew from the bosom of his red shirt.

Or rather the fire was checked, as all great city fires can only be checked, in all ages of the world, by the blowingeup and tearing-down of buildings on the line of the conflagration. ‘The enginery for the extinguishment of fires was comparatively nothing in old London; yet in that regard Chicago had no advantage over her, for when it comes to this, that the fire-steed hus flung his riders and taken the bit in his teeth, and, with streaming mane and flaming eves and wild yell, is rushing hither and thither: all modern machinery counts but little; steam fire engines are as nothing; 1666 and 1871 stand on one level of utter helplessness; ancient Lon don and modern Chicago can only wring their hands in agony and hasten in distracted multi- where | ylight. | IN THE YOUNG AND RISING GENERATION man lookin’on, which they wasn't.
