‘That can never happen !’ exclaimed
the whole court.
•Why have you como hither?’ asked
the princess angrily, when you have
such stupid customers?’
‘Because you are so beautiful;" replied
the prince. ‘And if I cannot win you
I may at least have the pleasure of see
ing you.’
‘On the other hand, I have no similar
gratification.’ said she.
So the prince remained at the palace,
and he pleased her more and more, but
when the humor seized her, she trio J in
every manner to peisuade him to take
his hands from his girdle, arid receive
something Iron her. She ilsj enter
tained hurt charmingly, and frequently
offered him flowers, bonbons and trink
ets,and finally her bracelet, but not once
did lie torget and stretch out his hand to
take them, fur the pressure of the girdle
reminded him in time. So he woul t
iv'd to hi) marshal, and he receiving
them, saying, ‘We r»member.’
Then the princess would become im
patient ami would exclaim: ‘My hand
kerchief has fallen ! Can your lor Iship
pick it up for me?’ Where. Upon the
prince would fasten his spur into it, arid
wave it carelessly, while the princess
would have to bend and remdVa it from
his foot, arigrily saying : ‘T remember.”
f.xs a year passed away and the
princess s. id to herself:
•‘Tms cannot remain so. It must b’e
settled iri one way or the other.”
She said to the prince :
‘I have one of the finest gardens in
the world. I will show your lordships
over it to day.’
The prince smelt of his apple, and as
they entered the garden, said t
•It is veiy beautiful here, and in order
that we may walk near each other iti
peace, and not to he disturbed by the
desire to try our game, I beg you my
lady, that for this otiehour you will take
upon you the Custom of my court, and
let your hands also be fastened. Then
we will be safe from each other’s art.
and there will he nothing to annoy us.’
Tlie princess did not feel very safe
about this arrangement, but he begged
so strongly’ that she could not refuse him
this small favor. .So they went on alone
together, with their hands fastened in
their girdles. The birds sang, the sun
shone Warmly, and from the trees the
red cherries hung so low that they
brushed their cheeks as they passed.
The princess Saw them and exclaimed.
•Wi at a pity that your lorship is not
able to pick a few lor me.!’
‘Necessity knows no law.’ said the
prince, and he broke rine of the cherries
with his teeth from a branch, and offered
it to the piincess from his mouth.
The princess could not do otherwise
than receive it from her mouth, and so
her face brought close to his. So when
she had the cherry between her lips,
and a kiss from him besides, she was not
able to say that instant, ‘I remember.’
Then he cried joyfully, ‘Good morn
ing, much loved one,’ and drew his hands
Iroin his girdle and embraced her. And
they spent the rest of their lives together
in perfect peace and quietness. —From
ihe German of Gustav Frey tag.

bound by tlie name of ‘-Fox’s Hell" and
the reputation :t gained in days pa t, is
striving to rise above the storm of re
proach and the name «.f being t e worst
place this side of Pluto’s dominions.
It was truly a bad place once, but
those whose deeds gave it that name, are
now numbered witr. the pale nations of
the dead, and Bearing has become as
quite and pl'acable as any tillage within
our knowledge;
Bearing is noted for its improvement
in several ways. It is building up.
Some very neat dwellings have been
erected, and th -re is talk of others being
built soon. A portion of the place is
laid off id Idts of due acre each. Some
of these are tery desirbale for any ou«
wishing td build near the Railroad
-I’he merchandise carried ori in Dearing
is another sign of its improvement.
There are two stores established, and
there is talk of establishing othdts
'luring tile year. Both store* expect to
have large and well assorted stocks of
goods before very long; and the gentle
on n in charge of the houses seem to
haVc (leads for business. The greatest
bruit that can be found of Bearing is
the sale of whisk'-y ; but it seemes cdn
trary td human nature td trv to build
up a town without “tlut theif which
men let in at the mouth to steal away
the brain.”
Tni-. little village is situated at the
junction of the Goodrich ft. ft. with

its improvement if the former is com

School in a few years. There is no.
church in Bearing, but there is preach

The Bill io reapportion
the State, you are aware, passed the
douse several days ago, and to day has
passed the Ser ate by a large majority,,
and now lacks only the Gov» ruor’s assent
to become a law, thereby securing to
Alcßuffie and other new counties repre
sentation in the next General Assembly.
The present Legislature is one of as
much dignity as / have ever witnessed,
and reminds me of the old and better
days of our Government A < reat deal
ot business has been transacted up to
the present time, mostly local however,
and still there is a good deal on hand—-
enough, I think, to causo a prolonga
tion of at least one Week.
The weather has been exceedingly
unpleasant during our stay here, and
consequently col m and coughs have
prevailed to a considerable extent—none
fatal tliat l know ol so lar, but tears are
entertained for some.
A resolution was passed to-day charg- .
ingsome of the police with the crime
of arresting the Hon T. G. Campbell,
colored, at D. Give’s Opera House for
disorderly conduct, over which we ex
pect a good, lively time.
