TIicic was once a beautiful I princess who hail a great fond ness for almonds, ami ate them constantly, but nothing would in duee her to marry, and in ordei to rid Ifersclf of her suitors, ol whom there were a great number, she invented the following device: To every prince wh» sought liei hand she presented the half of a bile she ate the said: “If your lordship can succeed in getting me to take anything from vour hand belore I say the words ’I re member,’ then I am ready to be come your bride. But if, on the contrary, you receive anything from me without thinking tospeak these words, then you must agree to have your hair shaven entirely off your head and leave llie king ilom.” This, however, was an artful strategcin, for, according to the court custom, no one dared to hand anything directly to the princess, but first to the court 1* iy, who then offered it to her. But if, on the other hand, the princess should desire to give or take anything—who could refuse her? So it was useless for her suitors to make the trial, for when they seemed likely lobe success ful, ami diverted the princess so that she was about to lake some thing troin them, the court lady always stepped between, and spoiled the best laid plan. When the princess wished to dispose of one of them, she would appear so charming and cncour aging to him that he would be cn tirely fascinated, and when lie sal at her feet, overcome with joy, then she would seize upon any tiling near her as though by acci dent: “Take this as a remem brance of me,” and when lie had it in his hands, befoee be could think or speak the necessary words, there would spring out at him. from it perhaps a frojj, or a hornet, or a bat, and so startle him that he would forget the words. Then, upon the sjxit, he was shaven, and away with him. This went on for some years, and in all the palaces of the other kingdoms the princes wore wigs. Thus it came to be tbe custom from that time. Finallj it happened that a for eign prince came upon some pe culiar business. He thought her very beautiful, and at once per ceived the strategem. A friendly little gray man had given him an apple that once a year he was privileged to smell, and then there came in his mind a very wise idea, and he had become much renowned, on account of bis deep wisdom. Now, it was exactly time for him to make use of bis apple. So, with the scent from it caine this warning: “If lltou wouldst win in the game of giving and taking, under no circumstances must thou eith with their bands fastened in their t Wanted a Will, er give or take anything.” ! girdles. The birds sang, the; As memories of the past are So lie had his hands bound in sun shone warmly, and from the I very naturally revived by the ap Ins belt, and weut with his marshal to the palace, and asked to be nl lowed to eat bis almond. The princess was secretly much pleas ed with him. ami immediately handed him an almond, which his marshal look and placed in his month. The piincess inquired what this meant, and. moreover, why he constantly carried bis hands in his girdle. He replied that at Ins courts the custom was even more strung !y enforced than at tiers, and he dared not to give or lake any thing with his hands, at the most with only his bead and feet. Then the princess laughed and said: “In this case we will never be able to have our little game to trees the red cherries hung so In that they brushed their cheeks as they passed. The princess saw them and exclaimed: “What a shame that you cannot get some ol them for me!” “Necessity knows no law,” said the prince, and he broke one of the cherries with bis teeth from a branch and offered it to the princess from his mouth. The princess eould not do oth erwise than receive it from his mouth, and so her face was brought close to his. So w hen she had the cherry belwceu her lips, and a kiss from him besides, she was not able to say that instant, “I re member.” Then lie cried joyfully, “Good morning, much loved one,” and gellier.” He sighed and answered: j drew his hand from “Not unless you will be pleased \ and embraced her. And they to take something from ray boots.” | spent the remainder of their lives “That can never happen!' ex together in |>erfect peace ami claimed the whole court. “Why have you come hither. asked the princess angrily, "when you have such stupid customs?” “Because you are so beautiful,” replied tbe prince, and if I can not win you, I may at least have the pleasure of seeing you.” “On the oilier band, I have no similar gratification,” said she. So the prince remained at the palace, and he pleased her more anil more, but when the humor seized her. she tried in every man- ner to pursuade him to lake his hands from his girdle, and re ceive something from her. Sh also entertained him charmingly and frequently offered him flow ers, bonbons and iriokets. and fi nally her bracelet, but not once did he forget and stretch out in- band to take them, for the pres sure of the girdle reminded bin in lime. So lie would nod to In- marshal, and he received them, saying: “We remember.” “Thus a year passed away, and the princess said to herself: “This can not remain so. It must be settled in one way or the other.” She said to the prince: “I have one of the finrsl gar dens in the world. I will show your lordship over it to day.” The prince smelt his apple, and as they entered the garden, said: “It is very needful here, and in order that we may walk near each other in |>eace, and not he dis til rlied by the desire to try our game, I beg you my lady, that Tor this one hour you will take upon you the custom of my court, and let your hands also be fasten ed. Then wc will be safe from each other's art. and there will be nothing to annoy us.” The princess did not feel very safe about Ibis arrangement, but lie begged so strongly that she could not refnse him Ibis small favor. So they went on together. quietness. m • — Wonderful Cures. W. D. Hoyt & Co., Wholesale and Retail Druggists of Rome, Ga.. say: We have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery.

Everybody knew that many a long day had waxed and waned since Kirk's pocket had been the coffer of so princely a sum, and the leave was readily granted— leave of absence to expire at 2 p. m., the hour for beginning the afternoon drill. The day with its duties and ex ercises passed away and about deep dark Kirk came staggering into camp, shied round the Cap tain's tent and landed at Jesse Hall's, about seventeen sheets in the wind. “Kirk, the Captain will make you dig up a slump to morrow for staying over your time. - ’ “No Cap’n won't—been on pow- erfnl perlicklcr business, gwine to go off and die for my pool bleedin' country—got to git shot and cut ami mamucked up and won’t never—here the tears began to flow—won't never, see inv cliil dren alter I tell 'em good live, and I been a stayin' in town a having of my will wrote, and I done writ it and signed it and fixed Ui let myself git shot all to pieces—hoo-h’>o boo! anil the Cap tain ain't a gwine to do nothing wi* me fur no sicli as that, a pro viilen for iny poor orphan cbil dren, and another flood of tears followed. “Well but Kirk since yon never owned ten dollars in your life, wbat did you will tbe children?' “Why by jings I willed fur 'em to do like lliur daddy done, start at the ground and work up,” and the deeply affected soldier again yielded to bis emotions.

In 18SI I was hunting some lost horses in the broken onuntry west ■>f the Big Horn river. I had rid- din all the morning over a country that was strange to me. About 11 o'clock I crossd a plateau, and was surprised to come suddenly to the edge of a canon, the exist encc of which I had not even sus pected. In the canon was a stream with clumps of cottonwood tim ber along its banks, and in one of the open spaces was an Iudian lodge. The Indians that hunted in that country were peaceable, but the war was just over, and the Sioux were feeling rather sole. If they were Crows, or Arapalioes I might get some information uhuiil my horses. I lay down and watched. No smoke came from the tepee; no one moved around; half a dozen ponies grazed a few hundred yards distant. There was not even a dog, which looked isther suspicious. After wailing fire minutes I knew no more than at first. Suddenly three white tail deer came from the timber and walked leisurely across the opening. Then I knew that the camp was deserted, and the strangeness of it startled me. I mounted and rode down to the creek, and straight to the tepee. I threw back the lap, and I shall remember what I saw until death. In the centre of the tepee was spread a buffalo robe, and on the robe were guns and scalps and many arrows; and there was food done up as for a journey; ami sitting cross-legged in a circle around the robe, were six braves of the Sioux Nal*on. All were in their prime—ail decked out in war paint, and each one held a bow and arrow in bis hand. On every face was an expression of calm indifference as of one mho ceil lie; suffers nor enjoys, neither 11o|m*s nor fears. The faces were those of dead men. and the small (six had marked them with its awful mark.
