A LITTLE STORY VROM TIIK GERMAN
There w.is once ? beautiful princes*
who had n ?;reat fondness for almonds,
and ntc them constantly, hut nothing
would induce her t-) marry, nud in order
to rid heraelf q( her suitors, of whom
tinny were a fjro.tt number, sin? iurcntud
the following advice : "If your lordship
can succeed in ?jettin?; mu to tuko any
thing from your hand before I sny the
word 'I remember;' then I am ready to
bccnuio your tiride. But if. on the
contrary, you receive anything from *me
without thinking to speak these words,
then you must agree to have your hnii
??shaven entirely oil your head, and leave
the kingdom."
This, however, was an artful strata
gem, for according to the court custom,
no one dared to band anything directly
to the princess, but. first to the court
lady, who then Offered it to her. Hut
it, on the other band, the priucess
should desire to give or take anything,
who could refuse her i So it was use
less for her suitors to make the tr'al,
lor when they seemed likely to be
successful, and had diverted the prin
cess so that she was about to take same
thing *frolU them, the court lady always
stepped between and spoiled the best
laid plan.
When the princess wished to dispose
of one of theiu, she would appear no
ehurmiiig and encouraging to him, that
lie would bo entirely fascinated, and
when he sat at U r fett, overcome with
joy, then she would seize upou auythiiig
near her, as though by accident : "Take I
this us r. rouiciubr nee of me," and
when lie had it iu Iiis hands, before he
could tlrnk or spoik the necessary
words, tl:u i w uld .spring out at him '
Jrom it, p- rhaps u frpg, or a hornet, or n
bat, und so t-iaitlc him that he would
forget the words. Then, opnp the spot. he
was shaven, nod away with him. This
wi oi uu lor some yt-ars, and iu all the
p;.l:.tes of the other five kingdoms tin: j
princes twore wigs Thus it CuUld to be
the custom from that time
Finally it h ippened that a foreign
j.rinrn came upon some peculiar bu-i ,
nr-ss, and by accident saw the almond
princess. ' lie thought her Very bciiuti
rill, and at once pCICcivcd the .-trata-'i in.
A liiet.dly little gray man h.id given ;
him an api Iu thai once a year he was
privileged to smell, and then there camo
? ii his mind a very wise idea, and ho
had become much renowned on account
?of his deep wisdom. Now, it w is
?... .1
exatv|y time for him to make u>o of his
bpplo. iSo, with the scent horn it ciltnu '
this warttfittg :
' If l/hou Wouldst win in the g-imc of
giving and taking, under no circum
Stances must llnm either give or tak. :
any tin nt;."
Jr<o be bid his bauds in his belt ; and
wont with his marshal to the palace, and
aiuked to Lc allowed to cat his almond
Hie princess was secret I v much pleased
with l.itn, and immediately handed him ,
aa almond, which Ins nutrtdial took and '
placid in vliis mouth. The princess in
titiireel what, this moaiit, and moreover,
why be constantly carried b s haudn in
his girdle.
lie rcplird thai at hi? eotlrl the cus
tom was even more strongly enforced
than ut her.', and he dared not give or
take anything with his hands, at the
most, on ly with his head and feet. Then
the princess laughed and mid :
"In this rase we will never be able I ?
have our little game togcthor."
lie sighed and answered '.
"Not titles* you will he pleased to
take something iroin my boots."
'?That eatr never happen !" exclaimed
the whole court.
'?Why have yen come hither," asked
the princess, angrily, "when you have
such stupid customs i"'
"Because you are so beau iful," re
plied tlie priuce. "And il 1 cannot win
you, I mav at least have the pleasure ol
seeing you."
"Oil the Other hand, I have no simi
lar gratification," said she.
So the prince remained at the palace
and it pleased her more and more but
when the humor seized her she tried iu
every manner so persuade Iiiin to take
his bunds from his girdle and receive
something from her. She also enter
tuiued lnui charmingly, and frequently
offered hUll flowers, bonbons, und trink
cts, and finally her bracelet, but not
onco did he forget and stre'eh out his
I..mil to lake ibcni, for the pteseure ul
Iiis girdle roii.iti'IeT hitu in tiuie. So
he would nod to his marshal und he re
ceived iliein, saying, ' We remember."
Thon the princess would bueotne im
patient, nnd would exclaim "My hand
kerchief has fallen ! ran your lordship
pick it up former' Whereupon the
prince would fasten his spur into it,
Stld wave it carelessly, while the prin
cuss would have to bend and remove it
from his foot, angiily saying "I remeiu
her."
Thus a year passed away, and the
princess said to herself:
"This cannot remain so. It must he
settled in one way or the Jot her."
She s;iid to the prince :
"I have one of the ?Inest, gardens in
the world. I will show your lordship
over it to-day."
The prince smelt of his apple, nnd as
they entered ihe garden he said :
"It is very beautiful here, and in
order that we may walk near each other
in peace and not he disturbed by the
desire to try our game, I heg you, my
lady, that- for this 'one hour, you wil.
take upon you the custom of my court,
and let your hands also "he fastened.
Thun we will he safe from each other's
arts, and there will be nothing to annoy
us "
The princess did not feel very safe
about this arrangement, but he bo.'<? d :
so strongly that she could not refuse
hiui this small favor. So tli^y went
alone together, with their hands fasten
ed in their girdles. 'I he birds sang,
the sun shone warmly and from tho
trees the jied cherries hung so b>w that
they brushed their checks as they passed.
The princess saw them and exclaimed :
"What n pity that your lor Iship m
not able to pick a few for me."'
"Necessity knows no law," said the
prince, and he br>dtu one of the cltor
rics with his teeth from n branch, and
offered it to tho princess from hi*
mouth.
The priuces? cou'd not do otherwise
than receive it from his mouth, and so
her face wok brought close t<?Jiis_So
when she had the cherry hot ween her

A Chat with a Clergyman.
Mr IT., A well-known clergyman, say*
Dio Lewis, came to consult me about
Iii?- throat, und b gaii by telling thus
story :
'?i worked on a farm till I wan twenty
two. when 1 was converted, and iuimedi
ately resolved lo study lor the ministry
We used oxen, a.ol illdtllgud in that
unearthly habit of yelling at them all 1

lull tWO miles away declared that they |
* ? ... . j
heard me from morning till uight. 1
remember that otto old man in th
neighborhood said when hu heard that
I was studying lor the ministry:
'?Well, there is one thing about that
chap ; he'll make cm hear anywhere in
the country. When he once gets into
the pulpit, if he yells as loud as he duc
at them cattle, they'll hear h in all over
heaven ami all through the t'other
place too.'

"Trusting that the ignominy which j

for ihc murder those Infants who j
bodies were found in my late residence
by the public officers,on the Kith day of
December. For three years, I4 pursued
a terrible system of crime, in order to
satiate my greed for money, and I pre
vailed upon Margarite Coraldi, now in
tbi.- prison, to a>si't mo in perpetrating
the crimes of wh ich 1 stand charged, and
am gui ty. I cause I advertisements to
ho published in Neapolitan j lurnals,
stating that any persons desirous of rid
ding themselves ol fh dr ohildrcu, to
prevent shuttle and infamy, or for any
enuse, could procure relief by calling
upon UIO j that I was prepared to tal.e
full charge of their children Upon a cor- '
tain sum being paid. 1 required no per
sou to leave his or her name, and am
therefore unable to implicate any of
those partios who cucourugod me to per
petrate I hose crimes, for which I crave
the Divine mercy. Aa far as I amcapa
bio of remembering, I willfully starved
to death about twenty children, mule and
female, by 1 icking them in an empty
apartment, where f could not bear thetr
cries and whence no others could hear '
them. 1 administered poison at inter
vals to about i be same number of babies;

These murders only occurred when I
could not rid myself of the infants in
any other way. 1 adopted another
wicked means of procuring gain by
advertising that 1 could provide child
less women with beuutilul children for
adoption, being compelled to part with
them on account of my poveity. In
connection with the causes of my crimes,
1 will state that my husband, one Lurgi
Francesco l'orro, of Ocuou, abaudouod
me without cause wnou we had been
married only live mot ths. This is one
of tho gtOUlids upi n which 1 approach
the public authorities to beg their clc

unsullied virtue of my early lifo and tho
hopeless poveity and anxiety which fol

A Fiendish YVoman
Mr. and Mrs. X. of Pittsburgh are
believed to have lived as happily togeth
er as man and wife commonly do in their
social position. Somo time ago Mrs. X .,
with or without reason, began to fancy
that Nr. X. preferred Idu I), to herself.
This young girl had, for a while, kept
house for the husband in the temporary
abscuse of the wife ou a visit to rela
lives.
One day Ida received a message from
Mrs. X., requesting her to call at her
house, as she (Mrs. X.) hud a letter
from tho country for her. In the after
noon Ida dressed herself in her bot
clothes nnd went to Mrs. X's house,
where she was met at the door by the
woman who kissed her, inquired particu
larly about the state of her health, and
placed liei in tho most comfort ?b!e chv.r
iu the room, nu armed rocking chair
Mrs. X. offered the girl refreshments,
which were declined, with a request for
a glass of water. This was at once
bfought by the amiable hostess, who
herself look drink.
The Wutu::n then went into an adjoin
ing room, from which she Speedily re
turned with a strong cord of rape or
ranged in the form of n noose. Smiling
and talking pleasantly all the time, she
stepped behind her visitor, and, drop
ping the noose over her head and arms,
with a sudden jerk, she soon bound the
young girl helpless to tho chair- Ida,s

loudly as she could, hut the house stands
in a lonely place, aud no deliverer ap

After cutting off the hair. Mr?. X.
brought n looking plnss that Ida might

As the girl begged for release, saving
that she was freezing, she \-as t>dd' with
a plentiful application of mocking epi

before she gut away.
Mrs. X. then put the poker iu the
Stove, and w hile Calmly waiting for it to

she intended to do with it. "First, I
w ill burn your eyes out," etc., etc, And
she really began to execute her threats,
but when she whs trying to blind the
girl, the latter, by a sopor hu inn effort,
succeeded in releasing one of lief hands
with which she seized the glowing poker
and for a while arrested the monster in
the pre pet ration of her crime. The in

unlooked-foi r-. turu of her husband was
all that saved the girl from prolonged
torture aud death ut the hands of Mrs.

A eroupy youth in a neighboring

A llrare Itrnkenmu
A train was snowed up on a "Wiscon
sion railroad recently, and the passengers
began to j-uffer from hungor, no pro
visions beiug obtainable. Intelligence
of their condition having reached Cut.
mar, feven mile.* distaut, a brakemai,
named James Wilson, takiog thirty
pounds of crackers and cheese, set out
to widk to the train. The Milwaukee
hcrufog HV.ico/isi*M describes his walk
and its sej.nl us follows :
The wind blew a gale, and. with the
thermometer at twenty seven below; he
had a hard road to travel. It was hard
work ; the wiu i penetrated through his
hood, nnd, notwithstanding he felt his
face and oars freezing, trudged until he
real lied the train, almost exhausted and
uualle to speak distinctly, his face, cm.-"
and nose badly frozen.
The train reached by Vr Wilson was
one on which, among the passengers,
was Mr. .lohn Lawior, of Prairie du. j
Chien, wiio had .some ladies under his
care. Mr. Lawior applied snow to the
frozen face of Wi!s>u> and did all that
was needed to restore him as much as
posoble. Mr Lawior then to >k from
