THE EMPEROR AND HIS DAUGHTER-
n y o. e. TintNER.
A few days since, there was in(lie rily
of St. lVtrrsluirg a young girl, so beautiful
and lovely that the greatest prince in Eu
rope, had he met her, even in a peasant's
hut, might well have turned his hack upon
princesses to offer her his hand and his
crown.
But lar from having fir.t seen the light
in a peasant's hut, the was born in the sha
dow of the proudest throne on earth. It
was Marie Nicokuwiia, the adored daughter
of the Emperor of Russia,
As her lather saw her blooming like the
Mayflower, and sought for hy all the heir
of royalty, he cat hi eyes upon the fair
est, the riclte.t and the most powerful of
Ihem, and with the smile of a lather and a
kiiii;, said to her :
My chilil, you are now of an age to
many, and 1 have chosen lor you the
prince who will make you a queen, and
the man who will render yon happy,"
"The man who will make me happy,"
stammered the blushing princess, with a
sigh, which was the only objection to
which her heart gave utterance. "Speak,
lalht-r," she said, as she saw a Irown gath
ering on the brow ul the Czar. Speak and
your Majesty shall be 'obeyed."
"Obeyed '." said the Emperor, trembling
for the first lime in his iife, "it is then only
an act ol obedience that you will receive a
husband from my bandit"
The young girl was silent and concealed
a tear.
"Is your faith already plighted 1"
The young girl was still silent.
"Explain yourself, Marie; I command
you."
At this word, which sways sixty mil
lions ol human beings, the princess fell at
I he feel of the Czar.
"Yes, father, if I must tell you, my hear!
is no longer my own, it is bestowed upon
a voting man who knows it not, and who
shall never know it, if such be your wish,
tie has seen me but two or three times at
a distance, and we will never speak lo
each other if your Majesty forbids it!"
The Emperor was silent in his turn. lie
grew pale. Three times he made the cir
cuit of the saloon. He durst not ask the
name of the young man.
ite who would have braved, for a ca
price, the monarch! of the world at the
head ol their armVs he, with his omnipo
tence, feared this unknown youth, who
(lispuled with him the possession ol his
dearest treasure.
"Is it a king 1" he demanded at last.
"No, lather."
"The heir ol a king, a, least 1"
No, falher."
"A Urand Duke 1"
No, lalher."
"A son of a rrijjning family !'
"No, laiher."
At each step in the descending Kale,
Ihe L'zar stopped to recover brtith.
A stranger 1"
Yes, father."
The Emperor fell bark ialo en armed
chair, and hid his face ill his hands, like
Axauieiion at Ihe srenflre ol Iphegenia.
"lib in Kussia!" he resumed with an
effort.
"Yes falher."

wore the one and rode the other, a simple
Colonel of Ihe Bavarian Light Horse,
Maximillian Joseph Eugene Beatiharnois

of (he son of Josephine (who was for a
briel time Empress of France) and of the
Auguste Amelie, daughter of Maximillian
Joseph, of Bavaria, an admiral and charm
ing cavalier, in truth ; but as far interior
then to Marie Niealrrwna, as a simple sol
dier to an Emperor.
it possible," said the Czar lo himself,
as he sent lor the Colonel, with a design of
dismissing bim to Munich.
But at Ihe moment when he was about
to crush him with a word, he slopped at
the sighl of his daughter fainting in her
calerhe.
"There is no longer a doubt," thought
the Czar ; "'tis indeed he."
And turning his hack upon Ihe stupefied
stranger, he returned with Marie to the
Imperial Palace,
For six weeks, all that prudence, lem
pered with love and security, could inspire,
was essayed to destroy tlie image ol the
Colonel in the heart of the princess. At
the end of the fust week, she was resigned,
at the end of the second she wept, at the
end ol the third she wept in public, at the
end of the fourih she wished to sacrifice
herself to her father, at the end of the fifth
she fell sick, and at the end of the sixth
she was dying.
Meunwhile, the Colonel, seetnff himself
in disgrace at the court ol his hott, without
daring lo confess lo himself the cause ; did
not wait lor his di.smissnl to return to his
regiment. He wa on the point ol settinff
out for Munich, when an aid-de-camp ol
ine uziir came lor ii i in.
I should have set out yesterday," he
said lo himself; "I might have avoided
what awaits ine. At the first fldhti save
yourself from the thunderbolt."
I he bolt in reserve (or him was the fol
lowing : He was ushered into Ihe cabinet,
where kings only are allowed to enter.
The Emperor was pale and his eye was
moist, but his air was firm and resolute.
"Colonel Duke," said he. enveloping
and penetrating him with his glance, "you
are one of the handsomest officers in Eu
rope. Jt is said also and I bilieve it true.
that you posiess an elevated mind Oho-
rough education, a lively taste for the arts,
a noble heart, and a loyal character.
What think you of the Grand Duchess, mv
daughter, Marie Nicobn-wna ?"
llns point blank question dazzled the
young man. Jt is time lo say that he ad
mired, adored the princes', without being
fully aware of it. A simple mortal adores
an angel of paradise as no artist adores Ihe
ideal of o-auly.
"Ihe Princess Marie, sire!" exclaimed
he, reading at last his own heart, without
daring to read that ol the Czar ; "your an
ger would crush me if I told you what I
think of her, and I should die with joy if
you permitted me lo say it."
"lou love her;"tis well," resumed the
Czar, with a benignant smile : and the
royal baud, Iroin which Ihe Duke was
awaiting the thunderbolt, delivered to the
Colonel the brevet of General Aid-de-camp
of the Emperor the brevets of command
ment of the Cavalry of Ine Guards, and of
the Regiment of Hussars of Chief ol the
Corps of Cadets, and of Ihe Mining Engi
neers ol President ol the Academy of
Arls, and member of Ihe Academy of Sci
ences of the Universities of St. Petersburg,
of Moscow, of Keaian, of Ihe Council, n
Ihe Military Schools, &c. All Ihis, wilh
the title of Imperial Highness, and several
millions of revenue.
"Now," said the Czar lo the young man,
who was beside himself with joy, "will you
quit the service of Bavaria and become the
husband of the Princess MaueT" The
young officer could only full on his knees,
and baihe with hi tear the hands of the
Emperor.
"lou tee that I alto love my daughter,"
said the father, pressing his son-in-law in
his arms.
The Hih of July following, the Grand
Duchess wis restored to health lo lile
and the Duke Beauhornuis de Leuchtenberg
espoused her in Ihe presence of the Repre
sentative of all Ihe royal friniliesin Eu

such an act of paternal love merited for
the Czar and his daughter a century of
happiness. Heaven, which has it secrets,

Babios love dearly to ride in cat, and toddle
about in ateamboiii. Why, the baby i Ihe
lifts ol the putty. We have known a whole
room full of people entertained by one, hour
after hour. Sleeping or waking the prot
ty little creatine, that can lip a liuJVJKnfr
lish, or French, ono rati hardly tell which,
is the universal delight, nnd many a party
has been stupid just for tho want of one.
In old limes when ihey used to journey in
stages, a ludy w ho had a sweet little child
wilh bur, could scarcely call it her own, Ihe
whole way, the gentlemen were so fond bf
carrying, keeping and kissing it. Why, Ihe
bachelui. loved to play with, and dandle on
their knees, thungh at first they might be a
little bashful, and awkward in taking hold uf
the strange and unaccustomed thing. But Ihe
smiles and winning ways of the baby were
always iireslible, and sure to overcome at
Inst the most obstinate of bachelor. People
love babies us they do Mowers. Gentlemen
especially, who are fond uf ffowers, liko ba
bies, Ihe sweeten of them all to carry in
iheir hands, just at they would put a cnina
lion in their button holes.
Now babies and butleiflies do iwaim in
summer, to be sure ! It is then, Ihey are on
the wing. Pray, don't try lo keep them
from flying nboiit and alighting hero and
there when something strikes Iheir funcy,

Suspended from the platform, was a ban

scribed :
God snid "Beloved, I havo given you eve
ry herb bearing seed, and every herb in Ihe
which is the fruil of a tree; lo yon it shall
be for meut." Genesis, chup. Im, 29ih
vetse.
On the platform was senled Prof. Wright,
A. M , of Camden, N. J., aged 55 years, and
a Vegetarian for 25 years; Mr. Choi Hon,
oged 83 years, Vegetarinn for 45 years; Dr.
Mussey, 74 years, Vegetarian for 21 yenrs,
nnd Hev. Mr. Metcalf, Ii5 years, nnd a Vege
tarian for 45 years; also present, Jonathan
Wright, aged 60, a Vegetarian 45 Jean.
On inquiring llie ages of these veterans in
the cause, tho reporlers were astonished to
find Ihem so fur advanced in yenrs, ns iheir
activity ond hearty appeatance hn I led to
their being classed among the most stirring
men of the company present, and the vigor
ous nnd powerful speeches oi tho Chairman,
Dr. Mussey, Prof. Wrighl nnd Rev. Dr. Met-
calf, showed that age had neither impaired
their intellectual vision, nor perceptibly ef.
fueled their physical powers.
Arountl the tables, sat about 150 guests,
one-fourth of whom were ladies, many ol
w hom as Ms Ledger says, were "young and
handsome." The beauty of iheir merry smi
ling faces, combined with display of flowers,
fruits and tastefully decorated dishes produ
ced a scene suggestive we should think, es.
pecially to Ihe bachelors present, of domes
lie enjoyment where nothing shall appear of
fensive to their moral sensibilities ns the re
sult of slaughter, and where Ihe food shall
consist simply of what was described by the
Ancient Scribe and Poet as "pleasant to Ihe
sight and good for food."

Then Ihe purpose of ealing is served b
the Vegetarian: he gels health, slrenglh
and a fair prospect of a happy old B,"e. Not
so, llie consumer ol llesli ana u.ci noi : no
lives fasf ; grows restless and probaly dye
peptic, and is frequently, if not continaally'
under medical trealmctit. He looks old a',
forty, and becomes iiifjim al sixty. The
meilitim cases between theso two clashes
consists of those who lake a small portion of
animal und a large proportion of vegetrtblo
food also. Such persons do enjoy generally
loloiab'u share of health, but not that
ftoedorn fiom disease, and the fear of it
w hich is commonly enjoyed by thoco wiicr
live on a purely vegetable fruit and fafin.1-'
cious ijfft, and live in oilier renpucts in con-
lor:nily with tho laws of health. Tlicil
tliera is the relative cost of nourr-hmfnt
obtained fiom veyetnblo and animal food.
The clearness of bulchcia' meat bag beeome
a cause of universal complaint amoii,f the;
people. The butchers of Philadelphia, I
have understood, refused to purchase oxen
on accout of tho high prices asked for them
by those who tratlic in flesh and blond. It
is true, the prices are sometimes affected by
speculators, but it is a fact, which cigl! lo
be universally known, that Iho flesh of an
tnals nfccr cu. Le produced at a cheap rate.
All manufactures known thai an aiticla
which is made of valuablo raw materials,
anil which wastes in the process four-fifths,
find then becomes only ono third of ihe in
liiusic value of tho oilier fifth, must be mi -profitable,
exceedingly, unless a fictitious
value is placed upon it by the iguoiaiice or
prejudice of the customers. It is just this
with the production of flesh. To produce
one pound of this ailicle, five pounds cf corn
or ils. equivalent in other vegetable food,
has to be emplojed. Suppose this com to
be worth two cunts per pound, it costs ten
cents lo luy a pouud of ffesh on iho back of
an animal. Then take this pound of fleslJ
and dry out alt the vattr from it and you
have about four ounces of a mateiial, which
in point of real nutr'itial value lo the human
system, docs not exceed lhal of five ounces
of wheat, corn or other grain, which yon can
procure for litlle more lhan half a cent
Here, then, is your pound of flesh, for wbtfli
you w ill pay eighteen cents, shown to con
tain no more and no belter ntitiiincnl than
you can sbtain for list than a imt from veg
e'able food. Why then dtr )ou eat fifth f
"Because I like il," says the honest, candid,
flesh-eater. Adopt a vcf'etaiian diet, my
friend, and I w ill promise you in less than
iwo montli', you shall like the simple fruit
and seeds of Ihe earth in all Iheir rich ami
abundant variety, len limes belter than yott
now like eillier Ihe flesh or b!uoJ of an ani
mal. Tho sense of hlingond disliking Icing
erdirely Iho resull of settle! habit. Get
senled in a new and rational habit and you
will gel a new and rational piastre, "fix

Pythagoras, "and custom will lender it the
