The name ho received in the Ii r?t place be cause his hither was a soldier, second lyj because ho himself was fond of [?laying soldier, and thirdly because his Christian name was Frit/.. This lad, Soldaten frit/.e, was known to everbody in Brandenburg, his nti .?tivo town, and was hot offended when popple ett II od him by that name, but, ? on the contrary, fell flattered by it, si ace, indeed, he was so thoroughly the child of a soldier. When he attained the age of thir teen, war was declared between Francs and Germany, and the Prussian regi ments were muri Ii? d to the iihinc. It was in one of these regiments that iSojdalenfrit/.e's father was a subordi nate, officer He took a farewell leave arrived brimful of good news, with tiic information that the subordinate .officer had hern promoted to the post of orderly sergeant. 'But what is the use,' intimated the letter, 'one can not satiate Iiis hunger with honor alone, and there's nothing here but honor, llnd I only a few pecks of our nieo potatoes! How they would taste! Here on the Rhine we must often abstain front food three days in succession, till one is black and blue with hunger, and a real, genuine potato I've not seen since 1 left home.' . This passage' in' the letter Fritz snapped at, und \v. s ? h absorbed with it tout he entirely forgot his father'}; promotion. The very idea that hi. lather hud no potatoes and was starving whilst their cellar was filled from top to In i!! i i Wi-Jl ihr-tinestj' sweot potatoes, g'.ill$l g'nd/'gr?'V|d| him, and lie racked Iiis brain to think how .he might rcndeitbji? inLp lwpfWj by providing hiutfwilh #niouthful*or good j iota toes. * ?f ft} ' & & ?Mother, give t?^aUi^lo&^ TO carry a few measures to father.' The mother replied : 'Boy, you're crazy; do you think it would he fun to carry potatoes on your shoulder a hundred miles or more? Put that idea out of your head you simpleton ?' But that was easier said than done. Soldateiifritzc could by no means di vest himself of his purpose. He only thought how his father, in his lonirinirs for home, would sigh after a lew of those nice potatoes! Evenat night the thought til I* wed him no rest; lie would arise in his bed and cry aloud in hisj sleep: 'Father, you shall have those potatoes !: A few weeks passed by in this way. But the mother was greatly surprised at finding how pale her .son gradually became through the influence of this ruling idea. And yet, she hoped that the foolish notion would fadeaway with time. But one morning, as she entered his chamber to awake him, the bed was vacant! and Spldiwcnfrilzc had disappeared. ?Well, where has the rascal hid him self u>V!iy.j',Y-miutjorcd ffto muther^ ?u rol y he i hL VnglJi f??)M j pinery i.or041|t*h.^f|i>l^o^inijg^^jnfj little .stricter wnth 'IfimylVfr, smcenils ;liitlier|si ?^$flf/#jl'd lUWffl cij line n'iiye grttduitlTy lost ground in his case.' Without Worrying herself to hunt up the lad, she went, as usual, about her household affairs, preparing the scanty dinner, placing it on the table, supposing of course, that Fritz would he on hand, for ho hint never yet miss ed a meal. But (ho cluck struck twelve, one, two and the lad came not. Then the mother began to worry; she ran out and asked her neighbors whether they had soon him. But no one knew anything about him, till an old jr'oTirt'TPcfcali^^Vin^ertii bored seeing hitnieftrlv*!^ ihe^n^ii-^ ing, in his Sundny^nit, carrying a slick upon his shoulder. ?Ali, the Utile scamp!' exclaimed the mother in surprise, ami clasping her hands over her heart-he remark ed : 'lie's gone to his lather to bring him the potatoes ill the camp; well, that's a fhic idea, isn't it V Iloiiie she ran, searched in the bureau draw er, found thut his clothes were gone, ; as well as a lit tie sack that, had solid cd from her few days before. 'Is he really gone?' she asked sigh ing, ami the great tears ran down her checks. 'Well, what pranks the fel low is cutting up! May dud protect and preserve him ! I'll say nothing, if he only airives there safely. Hut for him to leave without any notice whatever, is altogether too bad.' The sad mother we]it as though her lieart would break, and only the thought Jiow the father would rejoice at the sight of bis son could lessen her .sorrow in the slightest degree. Ami when she knew neither ways nor means to catch the little rasen', she at, last submit Led quietly to her fate, and hoped that God would reward the filial love of the lad with a prospeiuus tonn i nation of his journey. in the meantime Soldatenfiitze was voyaging cheerily and hopefully to ward the Rhine. To be sure he was not altogether familiar with the route, and vet, be knew the direction toler ably well, as he bad made inquiries of I the school master, so on he went, cer tiiiii of making bis final distillation without fail. Mu:icy he bad not, h?i' did he anticipate any need of it, for, he thought to himself, 'Wherever you tarry, the good people will of course give yon a bite. You need only relate bow you're gbh g to father, to bring ItiIii these potatoes. That will surely [densethem, and how glad father will be when I reach him ! Ah, that will of course boa jubilee, for I have pick ed out the nicest for him in the whole cellar.'

'Well,' replied Fritz,'I'm Soldat ct. fritze, from Brandenburg, nnd I'm going to father on the Rhiiic; I'm car rying him a mess of potatoes, because he earnestly wished it.' 'What, my lad, what is this purpose of yours?' inquired the invalid, as lie arose and approached our Fritz, sur veying him from head to foot with a look of astonishment. 'Yes, sir, it is to the Rhine I'm going,' replied ?Soldaten fritze, 'my father has been promoted to orderly sergeant, but he makes nothing of that so lung as be has no potatoes; I am therefore bringing him some, and I've picked out the. finest ones, too; here they are in the sack.' 'Come on, you singular lad, anil tell your story,' exclaimed the invalid, stroking bis moustache, 'Are you in *tajiu^i'?

Sohlnlciifrilzc hardly knew what was happening, fur (ho old veteran had got him by the top knot, and was kissing him until Fritze nearly lost bis btenth, Thu other guests served hi in in like manner, each in his turn, ami cveii ilio stout host, himself, wits lynched to the very heart.

At evening when many more guests were assem bled, he related, at the instance of the old invalid, his story once more, after which he was conducted by the host, into u .vi ittlC'bed-chain I >er, and -hud into a soft bed, whore he rested like the little angels in heaven. . But/, whilelie lay in sweet slumber and dreamed of his father, the aged invalid, discoursed to his Icl.low gt ests in the inn, ami rciuurkt d( ''f would he a sin and a shame to per mit so brave a lad 1 to continue his journey without the menus to meet his expenses,'and he made the matter so, plain to all, that each one opened his purse and contributed for brave SoldatuUnitzc.

When the morning dawned, be ordered- up his little pony carriage; er lied' forward the lad. plan d before him a hearty breakfast, handed him the money which the guests bad con tributed, sewed it into the lining of bis coaT, and finally dismissed him with kind Wishes for his 'Welfare, and a pleasant tune the remainder of his journey. Deeply affected by the love ami. kindness of his host, he took leave ol him am| of the invalid, who rchmiucd at the1'side till th>? last moment. .Seated in the little carriage, he rode plensntly ahum to the next town, dis taht some five miles, and as far as the friendly host, had ordered him to be carriedt -Here he barlea gratef? 1 adieu to the coachman, pursuinghisjoiirney on foot till candle'light; when lie en tered a large village to obtain lodging till morning. Iloiv,^jis ^ before, he'lold his story, and ^^oTo again he was kindly cared for, and treated with similar love tind tenderness. Initially, wtsvn he had performed many a pleasant day's journey In his pilgrimage, he espies in the distance the first sentry of the Prussian mili tary cam pi keeping guard. Toward *him ho rushes with winged feet. v'Di? you .know, siiv. fth?re I'll find ?father'?' he inquired. of the soldier, 'himself out of breathv if - / '/^'Stupid littlesimpieton !' replied the Jncavily bearded sentinel, 'howshouM I know your father's name and regi ment?' 'Why, sir, be is in the Brandenburg regiment; his name is Martin Boiler man, and lie is orderly sergeant,' re plied Fritz sharply. 4 Well, if that is so- pass in and bunt him up.' Fritz rushed on, passed the second guard, the third, ami finally came into the bauds of an adjutant, who subjected him to a very strict exami nation. But the more the adjutant (piestioi'cd hint and heard his answers the more, friend I)- he became towards him, and at length patted the biave lad on the check. 'Come oh with me, and I think we'll soon find your father.' So be immediately started for a large and splendid .tent, from the top of which a large banner was waving. Fritz, with the potato sack, w;is trotting bravely along beside him, and followed fear lessly into the tent, its theofljcer wink ed to him to enter. Jn the tent he observed a venerable and splendidly dressed officer, who sat in a grcakarin-ehair, and appeared to be deeply absorbed in tho study ?f a map, JIo scarcely looked up, and only slightly nodded with bis head as the guido of our little libra respectfully approached him. 'That's a general I know,' sah! Fritz to himself, as he stand a little ab ished ill tbo en I ramie of the lent. Mis guide, the adjutant of the gen eral, spoke, softly with the latter, who } immediately took his eyes from the map, gave his a ljutant an attentive hearing, and cast a hurried glance at i Soldatcnfritzu. For a moment he continued Iiis conversation with, the adjutant, and then lie sent hi im oil" on an errand; i after which he beckoned to the lad to conic nearer. lie at once obeyed '.be command, and approached the general with soldierly grace and dignity. [TO UK CONTINUED ] [From (lie Detroit Free PreM.J Any one passing along Howard street ju.?it before noon, yesterdayi would have seen him lying under ono of the shade trees in his yard, a pillow under his head, his feet on a bench, and a magazine in his hands. He looked the picture of comfort and con tentment, and the women who were going along with pull-luck dreaaea on, sighed and wished they were men. The great City Hall bell struck the hour.of noon. The deep-tuned echoes flouted out on the still summer nir touched a tender chord in the How ard street man's heart. The echoes sounded to him like funeral whispers ?like the whimpers of the night wind sighing through the grand fdd wilder ness. "Oh ! solemn bell!" he said. "Oh! snd solemn? !" That was till I?c said about the bell. A bumble bee settled down on him to look for sugar, and us he turned part ly over be gave the bee n rub. It in a bad tb'ugto rub any kind of a bee. He feels insulted and gets annoyed at things which a mud turtle or a ?luve would pass by without a thought. The echoes of the bell werejust dying away when the Howard street man got up. He got up like a man in a hurry. He went away from there He didn't meander?he went like u rocket. Something scented to ail him. lie made a line for the house, went up the steps at a bound, and as bis wife a-ked him the cause of his luuste, he replied: - "Thunder?opp ! hoop!" ?

The dog rushed after him, thewife rushed after the dog, and the man hounded ouLof the house. "Are you crazy, hobert?" shrieked the wife as ?be beheld him pounding his legs with his new sclk hat. Two or three boys ran in from the street, a strange dog came in and got up a fight, and all things conspired to make a lively time. "He's got the colic !" yelled one of the boys. "Or the tremors!" shouted another. "Sec that hut!" called a third. "Boys, go out of hero J" whispered the panting man as he stopped using bis hat. They went out, and as bo limped into the house, bin tearful wife asked : "Now, then, will you tell me what has happened ?" "No, I won't!" he shouted,and he didn't. She fel into hysterics at the thought that he had used his brain too much, and had suddenly become craz ed, and he went dow n to the drug store and applied arnica to the spot, ami informed the clerk tbnteleveu thousand of the largest kind of bum* hie bcos settled right down ou him in a body.
