THE PRINCE'S FOLLOWER. Little Ben Potter had been staring with sleep less eyes out of the curtainless window ever since daybreak, but he had not cared to move hand or foot. The fact is he bad gone toped supper less the night before, and felt rather weak and faint, and as he had no very encouraging pros pects for breakfast, he could not make up his mind to get up to another hungry day. So he lay very quietly watching the heavy mist curtains gradually roll away, till the sky became beau tifully blue and clear, and the old , elm trees waved their golden arms in the yellow Autumn sunshine. "Oh, ho'w I wish it was real gold," sighed poor Ben,• "and all those lovely leaves sailing off now and then, were bright, golden dollars l Oh I how I would run out and fill my cap full, and then down to the baker's, to buy some of that beautiful white bread and butter—Oh ' , we'd have butter, too, and a little tea, perhaps, for dear, sick mother , --but Oh, dear me I" sighed Benny, despondingly, they're nothing but yel low, withered leaves." Then he shut his eyes, and thought of the time when his father was alive, and they lived in ouch a pleasant place, and hid a garden full (Orme, and a beautiful, brown cow. Row long ago it seemed, and how long it was, even, since his mother bad been sick, and could earn no more money by sewing. Yesterday, (and Benny's cheeks were crimson) was the first day that be had ever tried to beg. There might be kind people in the world, but be didn't much believe it. At any rate, how angry all the big, fat cooks looked when he knocked at the kitchen doors, and sometimes they would slam them so quickly that they nearly pinched his fingers. In one kitchen, he remembered, he saw a little kitten, with such a r mar 4 f Yli • • MO' rat and comfortable she looked! Bat when he asked for something for his poor, sick mother, - they, gave him such hard crusts, it made his, teeth Rohe just to think of them, and his mother could eat none at all. "Oh dear !" cried Benny to himself, "I'll just die before I go begging again." A long sigh from the other side of the room, made him start up and exclaim, "Oh mother, are you awake ? Did you hear me? I didn't mean exactly that. It wasn't so very bad." Bat Benny's mother did not answer, and he soon saw that she was only groaning in her rest less sleep. Ile lay a few moments longer, busy with his sad thoughts, then, suddenly starting, up, he exclaimed.— "I declare, if I didn't forget the Prince was coming to-day, and I meant to be up with the first streak of light; and he began hastily to dress himself in his ragged clothes, talking busily to himself all the time. "I wonder, now, why I wasn't born over the sea in a great palace, with plenty of servants to wait on me, instead of living up rour pairs of stairs, in this little narrow street. There, now, what a terrible hole in my knee; Oh, if mother only could mend it, but I'll just have to pin it up as well as I can. Good by, mother," and he gently kissed her. "I'll be back before long." " Where are you going, Benny ?" said she, rousing from her troubled sleep. "To get some breakfast for you," said the boy cheerily, "and to see the Prince. I wish you could see him, too, mother." "I think I shall see him very soon, Benny," said his mother, with a tender look in her sad, faded eyes. " Perhaps this very day." "Oh, no, mother," almost laughed Benny. "Do you think he will come through this narrow street °? They wouldn't let him know there was snob a mean place in the city. Now, you don't think he'd come here I" "I shall go to him," ahe murmured dreamily, "dear Prince of peace;" and her heavy eyes again closed. Benny looked very grave. "How much she sleeps," he said to himself, "and she don't 'know What she says half the time." His wistful eyes filled with tears, and he turned anxiously away. As-he walked down the busy street, he suddenly thong lit of a grand, plan of making his fortune. Ile had 'heard that the Prince was'very kind and generotlB, and if be could only get near enough to just.tell him quickly how sick and poor his mother was, perltaps he would give him some thtng,,, or, perhaps, better than all, he would make him his , little • servant, and hire him to follow on and hold his horses, or do something of the kind. The poor, simple child ne l / 4 -er thought how impossible it would be for such a ragged boy to be allowed to come near.the great Prince. After be had the matter all arranged to his sktisfaction, Benny's step grew very lively, and as the Prince was not coming till afternoon, he tried to , find some little job to do by which to earnbreakfast for himself and mother. But no one eared to hire such a small, weak boy, 'and he was •becoming almost discouraged, when a kind countryman gave him three large apples. One was eagerly devoured by the hungry boy, but the other two were carried home, and laid carefully by the dear, sick mother, who still slept so strangely and heavily. Then Benny spent a long time busily and painfully trying to darn the worst holes in the faded old clothes, that he might look fit to speak to the Prince. tit last afternoon name ' and he found himself in the greatest crowd he had ever seen. ." Bare for myself," said little Benny, as be was pushed and jostled about, "but what shall 1. do:if Joy clothes get torn any more," and he took off his cap, and for safety tucked it under his-ann. But utter poor Benny had so many knocks and bruises t hat his, courage began to fail, and he only wished to, be once more sa(c at home, suddenly the band burst forth into a= most magnificent strain of music. "Oh, vhat are they playtog?" cried Benny; ex citedly. "Why, that's 'God save the Queen,' you block head," cried a large boy gtanding near. "God save the Queen," thought Benny. "Ali, how beautiful topragin musie: . l i tnesure God will hear that; tea save -the great Qeseti.

"What do you think this boy says?' and amid shoats of jeering laughter, he disclosed Benny's plan. "Won't the Prince have a gay fol lower? Won't he be proud, though?" "That's a good joke, old Patchwork," cried another, poking him in the ribs. "My friends," continued Jack, with -Much politeness, "I have the honor of introducing the Duke of Rag-tag and Bob-tail." , Benny, with crimson cheeks, and a breaking heart, tried hard to get away, but they held him fast, while they showered all manner of jokes upon him, and pulled at his old, worn clothes till he was perfectly aghast at the unseemly rents. There, and now, the Prince was.passing by, and Benny's hist chance would soon be lost forever. Re clasped his hands, and implored them to let him go.. "Oh, yes," screamed Jack. "I'm afraid we are keepieg his 'Excellency. He hears bis iriend;lbe , Prince; calling him. Room thi3rolor Lord Raga muffin!" Benny's broken-hearted sobs attracted the at tention bf a gentleman standing near, who ex claimed— ":You young, scamps, what are you doing with that poor boy 1" The little, teasing mob quickly scattered, and Benny was lone. "Please, air," faltered he, passed by?" "Oh, yes, he is quite a long way down the street." A look of bitter disappointment swept over Benny's worn face. "Did you want to see him so much?" said the gentleman, kindly. Benny could not speak, and his new friend, taking him by the hand, led him out of the cro*d into a quiet street, and by degrees drew from him all his sad story. "Don't sob so, my little friend," said he, as Benny finished; "perhaps I can help you as well as the Prince." "Oh, are you very rich and great? Are you one of the Prince's servants?" "Yes;" said he, smiling quietly, "I hope I am one of the Prince's servants, though not:of the one who has just passed by." "Who, then?'-' asked. Benny, eagerlyl "Oh, a far greater Prince; one, of whose king dom there is no end." "And will he help me?" cried Benny. "Will he let 2/1C be one of his servants, too?" ".Yes, you, have only to ask him, and he can do all things, for he is King of kings, and Lord 'of lords." "Ah," said Benny, with a look of great disap pointment, " I know who you mean now. It is the Saviour Prince, and mother and I have prayed to him weeks and weeks, but he will not hear us," and Benny burst into tears. "}rut;": said the gentleinan,lindly, "I think he has heard you at last, and has sent me to help you and your poor sick mother; show me where she lives." I have not time to tell you of Benny's extrava gant joy, nor what he said to the good.doctor i (for such the gentleman proved to be) on the way, home. When they first entered the room, his mother was so still and white that he at first thought she,lhad really gone to see the "Saviour Prince," as she had said in the morning. But no; she was still living, and after great care, she is now nearly re stored to health. Benny has l)ecome the t yet, 't, 1 °: r • •,. 'ungry or a ortnig t.

In point of real trial to temper, nerves, and patience, there is no comparison to be made-ba tween a woman's duties and a man's. As I sit, I hear the click of a shoemaker's hammer. From morning till night, it seems never at vest. The shoemaker leads a laborious life, but hoW steadfast and calm. He drives the peg,, and he knows it will go in. He made so many shoes yesterday, he will make so many to-day. At just such a time he will go home to dinner with just such an amount of work accomplished. But his wife, busy in her kitchen, has a baby who is governed by no laws, and upsets all her calculations. If he sleeps through the morning, she will spring through her washing, and iron ing, and boiling, and baking; but if he awakes, as he probably will, at the most critical moment, every thing has to give way. It is of no use to plan, for a chubby fist knocks down all her ar rangements. Her baby is the most despotic of all tyrants; he has not the slightest regard for public opinion. It is of no manner of impor tance to him, whether the fire goes out, and the rooin „Sete satpt or not. If he To be rocked, he must be, regardless of consequences. Then very likely there are three or four more little ones who must be washed and dressed, and fed, besides having dress and food pripared for them. If they are all in the soundest health they need constant ivatcbfelness; for children are 'unlike pegs. They -won't go where they belong.

So it goes, even when they are well; but when, besides this, we think of the great army of measles, and scarlet fever, and chicken pox, and mumps, and colic, and cholera infan tum, and inoculation, and teething that lie in wait for the young immortal and his mother, the prosp i tet is appalling; for the brunt of it all comes on the mother. What is'true of the shoe maker and his wife is true of the blacksmith and his wife and the tailor and his wife. I know that there are occupations that are more com plex, and demand the exercise of all the powers. But the merchant and the lawyer, however ab sorbing and perplexing may be their avocation, have to do with grown-up -people. The mer chants' clerks are often finite as gentlemanly and well educated as himself. His brother mer chants are acute and self-involved, but reason able.

If he makes 'a misstep, he brings down with him 'partner, clerks, wife and children, sometimes shaking even church* and society;'while the woman may, et this, that and the other duty slip without the sky's ,falling.

Gail Hamilton in the Congregationalist. "has the Prince To devise a federal bend strong enough to hold together free communities, without crushing their liberties in the very attempt to combine them, has been the object of, thought and experiment to the formers. of liberal constitutions for twenty-five centuries. The , AinphiciyoniC congreis of Greece is even older than authentic history.

The Bestotian,CEtolean and Adman leagues, suc cessively formed -from the sixth to the second cen turies before Cilium., show a great 4evelqpmeut of the grand political idea of federation. The last , named, the Achman league, consists of several states of lower Greece, With Corinth at their head.. Cemented by the eloquence of Aratus, and the military genius of Philopoenien, it formed the last barrier of Greek natioriality and independence.. But shortly after the, death of the great men who formed it, the union was dissolved, and the states fell, one by one, before the highly centralized, and, therefore invincible, power ef , Rome. The politi cal elements let loose by that dissolution, along with the foreign invasions to which it left the coun try exposed,. demolished not only the liberty but the very ,fertility and population of that once rich and flourishing region. '"The civil contests of the Greeks among themselves," says Hermann, " and the wars which the Romans waged on their soil, made that land a Wilderness; for whole - days' journeys the country lay depopulated, or was a mere haunt of robber bands. Three thousand fighting men were the uttriciat all Greece could fur nish "—that Greece which, united, was an over match for the, greatest monarchy of the world on the battle fields ,of Marathon and Platma, and strewed the sea with the wrecks of her. vast 'fleets at Salamis and Mycale. . a . - The modern attempts 'at federation 'have - been more successful.

The general diet, it 'is true, declares war, concludes peace, contracts foreign. alliances, nominates diplo matic representatives, determines the amount of military, force, and governs the expenditure of the finances of the confederation. But it has no head. The president of the diet is simply the 'burgomas-, ter of the canton in which it meets. The repub lic has no president, no individual executive fun der toy name. The scanty executive and judicial powers which are vested in the federal government are lodged with the diet,,a body consisting of fifty to a hundred members, a,nd therefore tardy, Cud ineffi cient in its operations. If a Swiss canton is in- vaded, it demands help from the adjacent canton, and at the same time sends word to the voro4, which convokes the diet, and federal interposition cannot be had till after the debates and decisions of that body.

FEDERATIVE UNIONS AND THEIR FATES. The provinces, or states on :Tolland, federated' by the Union of Utrecht , " in 1579, enacted -a bril liant part in the history of Europe in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. The com. pact was' an imperfect , one-4 combination of states, not a union of people, animated by one po litical life. Identity of language religion, inte rests, and dangers, however, secured a long dura tion to this confederacy; and with all its imper fection, its astonishing, results...have caused it to be regarded as a master piece of enlightened and sue ce,saftil policy. Under the - -combined influence of freedom and union, the people who occupied that strip of sapd, not, unfrequently submerged be neath the neekt;tiapidly rose to the rank of a first-rate popper; attained a great colonial empire, a commerce. and aa opulence beyond that of any other nation in Europe, and enjoyed internal tran quillity, and religious• freedom and life, while the rest of Europe was desolated by religious and po litied convulsions. Long prosperity and teeming : wealth, howeVer, engendered ,or stimulated the seeds of political decay. Holland, was, rent asunder by the violence of party dissensions, and weakened by an increasing-disposition to intermeddle in the wars.of France and England. After the terrible vicissitudes of her later history, she was willing to repose wider the shadow of royalty, and the great est republic of the Old World is now one of the smallest of its Monarchies. The benefits" which anion and freedom had con ferred upon ' her, however, appear from the fact that, after all her losses, and, the longinterrnption of her commerce, Holland was still, at her emanci pation from the yoke.of the French, im_lBl4, " the richest countiy in Europe."
