I would not die inr spring time, When worms begin to crawl, And cabbage plants are putting forth And frogs begin to squall; The'girls put on their prettiest charms, And smile upon the men, And lambs and peas are in their prime? I would not perish then! I would not die In summer, When trees are filled with fruit, And every sportsman has his gun The Kttte birds to shoot; The' girls put on their "bloomer dress," Which half distract the men, It is the time to wear them out? I would, not perish then. I would not die in autumn, ?'?it. When new-mown hay smells sweet, And little pigs are strolling 'round For something good to eat; < And then the huntsman's wild hello . Is heard in every glen, And oysters begin to fatten up? I would not perish then. I would not die in winter, For one might freeze to death; When flustering Boreas sweeps around To take away one's breath; Sleigh-bells jingle, horses snort, And buck-wheat cakes look tail, In faith, this is a right good world? I would not die at all! Solution of a Myrtery?Casper H?user. The mystery of the mysterious individual, Casper Hattsfr, has puz? zled the entiie world. The fate of the .unfortunate youth at one time created more excitement and eager curiosity throughout Europe than any event of the present century. Although his true parentage and the names of those through whose instrumentality He was consigned to his bloody grave have been es? tablished almost beyond a doubt, a dread of the consequences of dis? pleasing so many illustrious per? sonages, has hitherto pi evented the affair being sifted with that regard for facts which alone could elicit the complete truth. In a strange manner the mystery was solved: , On the evening of the 26th May, 1828, a casual passenger through the streets of Nuremberg met a youth about fifteen or sixteen years of age, whose singular appearance at once arrested his attention. Al? though strongly built, he seemed scarcely able to, use his limbs* while his eyes were hardly strong enough to bear the dim- twilight ox the late summer ?iii.t! In hie hand he held' a letter addressed to a Weil known citizen, which he presented to every passer-by with an unmeaning stare. When conducted to the house of the person to whom he appeared to be directed, he was offered food, but refused with disgust all except bread and water, and, throwing himself down on a heap of straw, went into a sound sleep. The per? son in whose charge he was left did not know what to make of him, for, on the one hand, he displayed the mingled curiosity and stupid insensibility of some being to whom all is new, but who has no percepti? ble appreciative faculty, while he could, repeat,certain words with distinctness and in a distinct hand wrote down the name of Casper H?user. As an idiot or clever im? postor, tiMy/4pal^..j^te^ineA- Jfeo send lnm to,prison, where, a^ close, examination showed him to be in? capable of any attempt' at; fraud; but on the contrary, to be a victim i himself of crime. The soles of his feet were perfectly soft and white, .proving that he never1 had been permitted to take exercise. It Was clear that he had never seefl and never learned anything; he was a complete stranger to the common? est ties and duties which bind man? i kind together, and utterly ignorant of the nature or even existence of society or morality ; in short, he bad evidently vegetated in complete isolation and tttenlly in obscurity, for ho could noi bear the effect^f light upon his eyes, and neitJWr knew at first the difference between night and day, nor could he mea? sure time. Prof see or Danmerier charged himself with his eduon iion. By{gentle degrees, armed | BBS j ?{~-?v4-t-l'M ? with Abie utmost patience, ,ha atv tempted to awaken the dormant faculties of this eottraordinary be? ing. He learned with rapidity/and Vague misty recollections of the long, dflj?r/ pur^r?'in ? which the years of hie chifdhotJd had been spent, rose before his mind. He would often talk abont his jailor, for whom, however, he did not en? tertain any feeling of ill-will, but rather wondered, in his simplicity, how he could have offended him. The professor, who had not entirely discontinued his rescaches as to the birth of his unfortunate pupil, encouraged him. to tract* back the depths of his.memory, and hoped eventually to collect the scattered facts he from time to time obtained into some tangible shape. Thus three or four years rolled peacea? bly along. The world, tired of its nine days' wonder, had forgotten all about Casper, and he might fondly hope that his enemies had done the same thing; but it was not so. They had not let any of bis movements escape them, and probably the professor's Hopes had been too loudry expressed, for an attempt was made to assassinate the poor youth, wlueV-failed, and resulted in obtaining for him n more powerful protection than that of the worthy.scientist, that of the Earl of Stanhope, an English no? bleman, who at. that time was re? siding in Germany. . On the 14th of December, 1833, H?user, who had boon left alone, was enticed to a solitary grotto by an unknown man, who plunged a dagger into his heart. Every effort was mode by the authorities to discover the assassin, and Lord Stanhope ofier Id a large reward for his arrest, ut all in vain. Among those well acquainted, with such particulars of the case as it was not practica? ble for the strong arm of despot? ism to suppress, but little doubt will be found to exist that poor, friendless, murdered Casper Hauser was a sovereign prince of the realm by birth. New deve? lopments prove beyond a doubt that Hauser was the- son.,of the Grand Duke Charles, of Baden, and his wife Stephanie, consequent? ly the legitimate heir to the throne. Charles, who had married Stepha? nie, the niece of Napoleon the First, in 1806, was a man of reckless character. Not long after marriage he became enamored of the Ba? roness Geyer von Geyerberg, whom he raised to the rank of Countess von Hotchberg. This woman at? tempted to poison the Grand Duchess, and when the latter was delivered of an heir to the crown of Baden, she caused that child to bo stolen. It was the unfortunate creature afterward known under the name of Casper Hanser. The Grand Duchess was assured by the physicians, all of whom were in the pay of the Countess, that her child had died. She believed it until her husband died, when she secret? ly caused the infants coffin to be opened. It was empty. Some tune afterwards she gave birth to another son, but the mother seem? ed to believe that her child had been taken from her and another substituted. This was really the base, the substituted baby being an illegitimate son to whom the Countess Hotchberg had given birth about the same time. The bastard was christened Leopold and became heir apparent of Baden. The Grand Duchess never spoke to him, even after he had become Grand Duke. She lived in seclusion, and died a few years ago. Whether her hus? band Charles ever discovered the fraud, certain it is that she finally Eoisoned him, whereupon her son eopold became Grand Duke of Baden. Ho had no right whatever to the position; for the real heir, Casper Hauser, was then alive. When inquiries began to be made into Casper Hauser s fate, Countess Hotchberg caused him to bo mur? dered. The Grand Duke Leopold died in 1852, when his son Frederick Louis, the present Grand Duke, ascended the throne. He married, In 1857 LouisD, tho ouly daughter Of the present Emperor of Germa? ny, who has for a son-in-law the grand-son of a murderess, and the son of a bastard, who, in reality, has no right whatever to the crown of Baden. The Frankfort Gazette made public these facts, and was furnished information by parties in possession of the secret history. To ascertain the names of " the lat? ter became tho task of the Pr u:>si an police, by order of. the Emperor. Unable to seize tho books of the Gazette on any direct charge, the police took advantage of the fact that the owner was also a partner in a job printing estabUsfainent. From that establishment had been issued a circular reflecting on cer? tain bankers. The latter sued the job printing office, And the- police, on that ground, seized all the books _j _i. _li. m i !??? > ?in Hin- ,r xooiw df the (7aze^?, including the sub-1 scription list Throughout Ger? many, tko disclosures of that paper and the oppresaive.measureg of the j exasperated Emperor have created ^profound sensation. The Emperor, who is a stickler for legitimacy, is intensely mortified by the disclo? sures about his son-in-law. His daughter, the Grand Duchess of Baden, refuses to appear in public since the disclosures have been made. .- $ ?
