I am, sir, a republican, and not afraid of any 
King in Christendom; yet the affair might have 
become a serious one. J had dropped expres¬ 
sions which were not suited to royal ears, and 
which 1 might have kept more wisely to myself. 
How would he take these Lhings?—what might 
he think of me?—were thoughts which kept me 
awake for the greater part of the night 
The next morning I began the round of my 
visits. I found the finance minister exceedingly 
tough. When 1 returned home the landlord in¬ 
formed me that a royal page had been at the 
hotel summoning the hanker Peabody to the 
castle. 
“Well, thought I, nothing can he worse than 
hanging, and throwing myself into a hackney- 
coach, i rolled toward the residence of the King. 
The appointed hour was five. I was conducted 
through guards into the royal apartments. 
When the last door opened, I beheld my young 
traveling companion seated on an ottoman. On 
his right side was a most beautiful lady; two 
hoys and as many girls wore playing in the 
chamber. 
A King, thought I, who can enjoy domestic 
happiness, cannot he a tyrant, and I stepped 
resolutely forward. 
“This, dear Louise. 
or unhappy stars, I knew not which, had brought 
me in contact. I was in a military country, and 
I was soon convinced that my new companions 
■were militury men. 
The complaisance of these strangers soon re¬ 
stored me to my former good humor; and think¬ 
ing it my duty to meet their politeness by simi¬ 
lar advances, 1 began to enter into something 
like conversation with them; they, however, 
were not the most talkative persons in the world. 
I spoke of the war which wus raging between 
France and Austria, but I received only a nod. 
I went over the prospects of Prussia—no answer 
at all; the old gentleman was as dry as a chip, 
the young one as shy as a lark. I bate sullen- 
ness, especially in young men. and thinking that 
my subjects were perhaps disagreeable, 1 chang¬ 
ed them to the state of the country. I was not

reserved. I had now tried every means to bring 
them info conversation. At last I spoke of my 
fare, and of the miserable dinners provided for 
travelers. They smiled. 
“What do you think, sir,” said I, addressing 
the young man, “ I have dined upon?” A pheas¬ 
ant I knew he never would guess. 
“ I do not know, sir.” 
“Well, guess then," said I. 
The young man looked significantly, and 
entering into my humor, returned: 
“I do not know, indeed; perhaps a shoulder 
of mutton ?” 
My hand fell involuntarily on his knee. 
“ Higher,” said I. 
“Well, then, perhaps you have dined on a 
goose ?” 
“ Higher,” replied I, placing my hand a second 
time on his knee. 
“ Then it was a chicken,” said he. 
“ Higher,” replied I, accompanying my word 
with a third slap. 
“ You have not, surely, dined on turkey in so 
poor a country?” 
“ Higher, sir,” returned I. striking him for the 
fourth time on his knee. 
“ Well, then, it must have been a pheasant.” 
“ You have hit it, sir; a pheasant brought from 
Frankfort; and if you will do me the honor of 
being my guest at the Mradenburg hotel, you 
shall dine off pheasants, too.” 
Neither promised to come, but both smiled. 
After this dialogue we rode several miles with¬ 
out speaking a single word, when the young man, 
in quite a friendly tone, said: 
“ Now. sir, to ask you a question, whom do you 
think yon ride with?” 
This question was put in the usual brisk tone 
of a Prussian officer. I looked at the stranger a 
moment; he was aboiii my age, but much taller, 
llis dress was a plain surtout. and bis head was 
covered with a woolen cap, strongl^set in leather, 
with a narrow gold brim. He had a good deal 
of the military cast. 
“ Well”said I,‘-I think I have the pleasure of 
being in company with a military gentleman—a 
captain?" added I, askingly. 
“Higher,” said the young man, striking me in 
his turn on the knee. 
The old gentleman now began to laugh. 
“ A major, then.” said I. 
“ Higher,” repeated he. slapping me a second 
time. 
He understands a joke, thought I. 
“So young, and already a Colonel? ” 
“ Higher." said be. again, with a fourth slap. 
“ He is getting impudent, thought I. I looked 
confounded at bis assurance. 
“Then I have the honor to be in company 
with a General,” said I, with a sarcastic incredu¬ 
lity- 
“Higher,” he still replied, with another slap. 
said His Majesty, “is 
the banker, who so agreeably entertained me 
yesterday.” 
“Banker Peabody,” said the lovely Queen, 
“ we hope you will take a better opinion of our 
country home with you.” 
She stretched out her hand, and I was permit¬ 
ted to kiss it. 
Nor was this all. I had to tell my whole ad¬ 
venture over, I, however, omitted the slapping 
on the knee. In short, I spent the most agreea¬ 
ble hour in my life. The following day I con¬ 
cluded my money business. The royal conde¬ 
scension had rather too much captivated the 
otherwise cool banker. I entered somewhat 
deeply into Prussian money matters—so deeply, 
that His Royal Majesty, twelve months after¬ 
ward. had well nigh ruined me. I do not know 
whether 1 would not have forgiven him for the 
sake of this hour. However, Frederic William 
has since honestly paid tne both debt and 
interest.

THE KING AND THE DANK El 
“Some time ago,” said Mr. Peabody, (he 
banker, to the writer of the following anecdote, 
“business of importance required my speedy 
presence ut the Prussian capital. Our house had 
not long before been established, and as the 
Prussian Government wanted money, l thought 
it expedient to see their minister myself without 
delay. The journey was somewhat dangerous, 
as the state, of Germany had become rather pre¬ 
carious. The French had again been so polite 
as to pay us, unasked, a visit, and were not 
likely to look with a very kind eye on a hanker 
who was hastening to the seat of government to 
lend money. However, 1 was young, un¬ 
daunted, of a happy flow of spirits, and cured 
neither for Napoleon nor any of his adherents, 
and so I bid Anthony, who is rny witness,’ —the 
well-embroidered footman nodded complacently 
from behind the chair of his master,—“to make 
himself ready, to place some v ine and a dozen 
pheasants in our chest, and to take his seat in 
the post-chaise. The pheasants were intended 
as a present for the Prussian finance minister. I 
felt highly delighted when I arrived at the fron¬ 
tiers of Saxony, but my joy was soon to give 
way to other sensations. I was always fond of a 
Mas. Partington on Weddings.—' “It is a 
solemn thing is matrimony—a very solemn thing 
—where the minister cornea into the chancery 
with his surplus on, and goes through the cere¬ 
mony of making them man and wife. It ought 
to be husband and wife, for it isn’t every husband 
that turns out to be a man. I declare r never 
shall forget when Paul pul the nuptial ling on 
my finger and said, * with my goods I thee en¬ 
dow.’ lie lift’d to keep a dry goods store then, 
and I thought he was going to give me the whole 
there was in it. I was young and simple, and 
didn’t know till afterward that ii only meant one 
calico gown a year. It is a lovely sight to see 
young people ’plighting the trough, - as the song 
says, and coming up to consume their vows.”

Mountains never shake hands. Their roots 
may touch; they may keep together some way 
up; but at length they part company, and rise 
into individual, insulated peaks. So it is with 
great men. As mountains mostly run in chains 
and clusters, crossing the plain at wider or nar¬ 
rower intervals, in like manner there are epochs 
in history when great men appear in clusters 
also. At first, too, Ihey grow up together, seem¬ 
ing to be animated by the same spirit, to have 
the same desires and antipathies, the same pur¬ 
poses and ends. But after a while the genius of 
each begins to know itself, and to follow its own 
bent; they separate and diverge more and more; 
and those who, when young, were working in 
concert, stand alone in their old age.
