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. Oh, if
somebodynvgd toiijyppay y fo my,th other like th a t,"
and Benny, with streaming eyes,
said softly, "Oh,

and then he woedered if.his little trembling prayer
went.up,with the grand.: l oW4e , -
"What' are te do with dial' hutiet of

suddenly.-
Benny looke,d'aronCe. "Why, fliey 4 r6 - tbii very

Prince, and ask him to let me be , his , little servant
while he stays."
" . Julhil" screamed Jack, so loudly, that half a
dozen of' his vagabond friends-gathered around in
a minute. "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

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

WOMAN'S TRIALS.
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. They-ire constantly, making little
dives right and left, and getting into mischief.

moves them to pound every thing that can be
hurt, by pounding, and scratch, - and cut, and

the object. 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. The lawyer's client may be ignorant and
stubborn, but he is an accountable being, and
swayed - by a homely but powerful logic ; but the
wife is the mistress of Servants incredibly "raw"
and inexperienced, even when well disposed, and
the mother of terrible infants. Let a man try
to work with such tOO% and such incninbrances,
and see how he'succeeds.
it is true that a man's responsibilities are in
one sense greater. 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.
But on the other hand, it is the greatness' of the
matter at stake which supports the man, and the.
littleness that disheartens the woman• She has,
the same round; perpetually changing, yet per
petually the same—of little cares and duties,
which -cannot be dispensed with, yet which
never seem to amount to any thing. It ia• all
very well to cajole her with "fashioning the
young mind," and "training.the hand that is tO

but it is a long way to the next age; and when

"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. It was a
venerable, but powerless council,' without execu
tive vigor, or even effective jullicial.pewer, which
sought by infliterice, *manly, to heal the feuds and
dissensions constkntly apri ing us_bdtween.4l..-
neceSiarpsoliilly„te,cembine against the,,chlossal
power of Persia, they did not unite under -the
AmPhictyonic congresS, but under a general con
vention specially assembled for'the purpose. The
Panionion of the twelve commercial states of Asia
Minor had even less of administrative consistency
and strength. it was rather a festive religious-so
lemnity than a political organization; and though
not with Out unitive political influence (all popular
conventions' are attended with more or less of
that,) utterly inadequate' asa federative bond.
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 Helvetic confederaey has
taken five : centuries to retiph*itsPresent newer. In
1307, three cantons, Uri, Schwytz, and Unterwal
den, entered into a confederacy for mutual aid
against Austria. 'Other cantons have been added
from time to time—some -by conquest, others by
voluntary annexation. The present mimber, twenty--
two, was - not comPleted till the tinie of Napoleon'

placed on a perfetit - frore the

The Swiss confederacy lrreatly,,lacks
unity and efficacy. It is rather an association of
cantons for mutual ;defence, - than a; fusion" and ;as
similation of peoples'into , one liody politic. 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. A rapid and energetic enemy, ati in
the case of Massena, 'has often done great 'and ir
reparable mischief before the unwieldy ',pavers of
the general government could summoned and
concentrated. Switzerland, which* has been com
pared to - a great town, of which thavalleys are the
streets, and the mountaina - groups of.e,outiguetts
houses, owes the preservation Of its liberties More to
its very peculiarphysical surface than to the energy
and efficiency of its government. Its free and

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."
';'Our own republic brings up the rear, in the

as WASH[rtetpt! enressed it, would make them
"one people;" a union which, in, the impassioned
language of Oris,, would "knit into the very blood
and bones of the original system every section as

Such a union was &riled iclien, instead of statet,

It was thefirst federative union in history which
had been fornild by the peoplethe whole people.
It' was a grand
_and solemn act of popular so

heart. "It was the birth of a nation; the coming

stored to health by' . its use, and the wide-spread. poptt
larity which, for so long a period, it has maintained in
the face of all competition, and which has created a con-,

As far as possible, this evidence is laid before the public

ASTHMA it always cures. It overcomes the spa:mar/-

BRONCHITIS readily yields to the E 4 l.ptieterant. n
subdues the inflammation which extends through 'the

at once the cough and pain.
CONSUMPTION.—For thia insidious and fatal disease,

It subdues the inflammation,—relieves the cough and
pain,-removes the difficulty of breathing,and produces
an easy Opectoration, whereby all irritating, and Ob

DISEASES OF TKE SKIN
THOUGH THE remote or primarycauses of WIN
DISEASE may he various as IMPURITY OF Tar;
BLOOD, LIVER COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, 'Air., &c..;
yet the immediate cause is always-the same,- and :thatis
an Obstruction in the pores of the Skin, by which the
perspiration, in its passage from the body, is arrested and
confined in and under the skin, causing an intolerable
itching, or an eruption of Pimples, Pustules, Ringworm,
Tetter, Salt Itheum,.tbdc., Ac. For all these affections,
has been found an invaluable remedy, as it removes both
the primary as well as the immediate causes—purifying
the Blood, curing, the Liver Complaint, and effectually
eradicating Scrofula from the, system, while, at the - same
time, it frees the pores of their obstructing matters, and
heals the diseased surface. .
