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.

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 his own inv k a imnsivc gold chain, which he had worn fur a long time, aud putting it arouud Wilson's nock re. marked, "It's a pretty good man that has w>>ru that chain, but I have I .and a better, and ho sh.il! have ^it." The chain is teputcd to be worth up amoug the hundreds of dollars, and was a hand. *0:n? present, worthily bestowed. Uu. dor touching circumstances like these, the writer of such an incident can hard, ly tell which to admire the most, the heroism of the brnkciuau, who periled his own life to carry uid to his fellow, creatures, or the man who BO promptly and generously regarded the deed of the hero. Capture of ;i Whale in Hampton Roads. 0? Thursday last, Capt. Wo. Hud. gers. of the oyster schooner Klizi Fur long, of Portsmouth, captured a whale of the" black fish variety, in Hampton Roads, between the Hip Haps aud Tay lor's farm, that measured forty-two feet und a half from tip to tip. The mons ter, when first se n was lying apparently still in the water aud lazily flirting his dorsal fin in the sun-light, lie was approached by Capt. ltodgrs aud his ! crew in a sk.fl, nnd one of the men, by i a dexterous throw of the bowline managed to lasso the, largo dorsal fin ot the fish. Uo "Vits then quietly towod into Mason's Chreak, in Xorkfolk county and after being grouuded on the flats, was despatched with axes. Capt. llod^rs cut the bladder out aud secured over foui barrels of oil. The carcass was given to the farmers in the I vicinity, who had it cut up for compost purposes. About five feet of the tail the* wlnle Was brought to Portsmouth, and is exhibited to the curious and sleep.* tical on Neoly's wharf. From SYtijftflfJfc, contusion on the body, it is supposed tha whale was badly hurt whep captured. .
