Probably the prettiest one 1s that of the school-master of Bornstedt, @ little village on his estate; near Potsdam. One day when passing the village schoolhouse he stopped, and making his way into the class-room sat down and began to Usten attentively to the lessons, Suddenly @ telegraph mes- senger made his appearance and handed the teacher a dispatch announcing that _ his mother was dangerously 111 and wished to see him at once before sue died. Th crown prince no. Uiced his Dianched face, immediately inquired what was the matter, and, on learning the con- tents of the dispatch, bade the poor man hasten to his mother's bedside, saying that he himself would look after the school until arrangements could be made for obtaining a substitute during the teach- er's absence, Accordingly, for two hours the crown prince took sole charze of the school, rap- ng the idle ones good-humoredly over’ the Enucxiey and rewardiog the diligent ones until the arnival of the viliage parson for the purpose of holding his bi-we kiy Bible class.

Sometimes he would stuff the latter as full as pos- sible, and would then ask some question demand- ing an immediate reply. | Nothing could be more ludicrous than to observe the frantic efforts of the cadet to make a fitting reply, while his mouth Was crammed full of marrons, glaces and other sticky delicacies, How different tnis from the manzer in Which the pages of honor are treated at Windsor and Osborne, where, during the whole time of their service, th y never have a word ad- dressed to them directly by thelr royal mistress, but recetve all her communications through the intermediary of the lord-in-walung, or some other equally lofty functionary of the household: ‘There ts nothing that “Unser Fritz” is fonder of than a joke, but, unlike the English princes, he knows how td keep his temper When the vicum retallates in kind.
