THE OLD DESSAUER BY H. SCHUTZ WILSON. Let us go back, in fancy, to the years 1694-1698. We are in Dessau, the capital and Residenz of the little principality of Anhalt-Dessau, which is "about the size of Huntingdonshire, but with woods instead of bogs," and lies some fourscore miles southwest of Berlin. The streets of little Dessau are full of quaint, old-world German houses, sp.'i h'..r"STi life liv?l it-elf ther in "'liet, nay, even dull fashion, at the end of the seventeenth century. Two buildings in Pessau will possess a quite special inri.t for us. One is the princely ; dace; the other, situated very close t tiuj palace, is the apothecary's shop of one (iottlivb Fohe. The apothecary was a widower, anl had a daughter, "oti' fair daughter, and no more, which he loved passing- well." Her name wa Anna-Lise. She dwelt with her father, w hile I-opold, then eighteen, lived in the palace close hv. A charming ohii jirl and aa imjetuous younj prince living in clo-e proximity in a little Aoftn: Lere wo have the ground-work for a romance which matake either aKreuch or a (ierman tarn ; may eitln r issue in lipht love and depravity, or in n.ble stead f:tst loe, aaJ, possibly, in marriage. We shall see. Another elfinent of romance not wanting there i- a rival in the case; a -ertain "medical graduate," uppoed to le a cou-in, w ho, attra ted by An-na-hise's bright eyes, and rather encouraired by the old Kohse as a very Ktiitable suitor, somewhat persecuted AHn.i w ith his attention, 'lhe medical rsd'iit-, lowever, gradually found out that it was a dangerous thin j; to cross t lie fiery Ia'ojm.J in his love ; and discovered, rather too late for his comfort, that a small sword, dexterously if impetuoiilv urg d, will j-netrat- a ri ;il body a:nl produce the mo-t serious annoyance. Varnhagcn vn Kn- relates (though other historians are silent n the subjeit) that Ieopohl one day.tiuding the r.iedi'al grailuate engaged in making; love to Anna, called up- nhini to draw, and, after a brief passage of fencing, ran his imprudent rival through. A dangerous man, Leopold, with his sword when once thoroughly aroused to flaming anger; a dangerous, prliaps, as Ales.-andro Karne in hi stormful youth. Iopld's ni'ither, Henrietta, of (grange, was si-.f r to 1ouif.a, tirst wif of the reat l-le( tor. His father was dead at the time at which our story opens; and the widuwed I'rincess was re-nt, and guardian f the yemng hope of Anhalt-lH-ssau. She was aunt of our William III. She had a touch of Netherlands geniality, but vra-s full of the importance of a woman governing a principality, and endeavoring; to rule a son who had very original ideiw and a singularly strong willof his own. She wad surrounded hy the court circle usual in the small (Ierman sovereignties of those days, and hal amot -'alted idea, of th old feudal sort, of the importance of the Anhalt-IVssau reirning family, and of her jKjwer of controlling every thing and every laxly. She had no very clear idea of the force of character, or of the distinguished talents of her unruly, iron-wi!lel son. The Anhalt-Iesau family held loe to I'russia. LeojniM's father had done so; IcoxiM himself did s) in a very memorable way; and his sons followed after him. The I)esau contingent was fued it'.o the l'russian army, and the An hail regiment became very famous among the. troops of Frederick the ireat, who, born 171i', was some fortylive years younger than hi great general and field marshal, I'rine jdd. A'.lhough always buily lighting, wherever fighting for w hat he conid red l ight was to be done, the l'rinee did not neglect his own little municipality of Anhak-Pcssau, and indeed governed it prudently and su'-co-fully all bis long life. He made the l'ru-sian infantry the model so'diers f the time, and e.oii.'ii inded them lirt at Hlenheim, boi ling his gnomd in the right wing after the Austrian calvary had fled, until Marlborough and his vietoriotis left wingielieved pessauer and saved the day. Ia'pold had seen much of war In-fore the Sevn Years' War beg-un, :tnd had fought at ll'K-hntadt, at the bridge of Casano, in tne Lines of Turin, at lllenbeini, an I at Malpla-piet. Ileeoiuineneed his career under Fried rich III., the Twelfth Kleetor, who, as Frederick I., became tlie first King ol Pru-"ia,and liniohf-il it under Frederick I. .s grandson, the great Frederick lred-n k II. of FniHia. Ijct u now turn our faneiei to the time when the old Iesauer w as not y t old ; let Us look at the j outhful bnetime .'bi( !i pre- cded the loiig jeari of war

ring of the soldier man. To aid us in our object I shall refer to the admirable play, by Mr. Hermann IIeri h,w hich he calls "Die Anna-Lise." Anna is about seventeen, extremely pretty, much pestered by one lover and much pleased by another. In addition to beauty and to vivacity she is a girl of a glorious nature. The young Prince and the young girl have grown up together as playmates, and now the passion time of life is budding in which such play may well turn to earnest. The father, timid and cautious, afraid of offending the "Herrschaft," and dreading for his daughter a continuance of the old intimacy with Leopold, is anxious that Anna should listen to her medical adviser and admirer. Anna, though generally dutiful, is yet quite unable to obey in this particular; and nothing or nobody can deter the l'rinee from doin what he wills to do. Mr. llersch makes no use of the incident, but we may safely assume that the duel w hich ended so seriously for our medical friend occurred about this time. In the play, Georg, the doctor, bears about the same relation to Leopold and to Anna that Brackenburg in "Egmont'' bears to Egmont and to Clarchen; although the relations of Leopold and Anna in nowise resemble those of the splendid Count towards Goethe's immortal heroine. Old Fohse warns Anna against permitting the continual, almost daily, visits of the

rrinee; points out to her that gixd can never come of such an intimacy letw een an heir to a throne and a burgher liiAAucu, irfuhiuua till ts..t., - o, reputation, and urges her no longer to address the l'rinee as " Ju" or to call him "Ieopold." He advises her to address her lover as " Put chlam -lit," or J ransp.inney, and begs her to insist upon a total discontinuance of all intercourse or of any future visits. Anna's understanding, if imt her heart, induces her to obey her father, and she endeavors to jHTsuade lipoid to renounce her and to leave her furever. All in vain. The impetuous lover laughs at the title of "lKin hlaiiL'ht,"" utterly refuses to rive her up. declares an honorable and determined passion, and opposes his fiery, steadfast will to the opposition of his mother, Ler father, and the whole world. lipoid was not a lover likely to be much deterred by any attempts to ih watt his love. The Kog ut, horrified at the thought of a Mj.vwi.i'OiO for the heir of AnhaltPessau, after an entirely vain t tlort to coerce her son, takes t -..un- 1 with her Ilof marschall, von Salberg, and with the Manputs de Chalisae, the French governor andtutorof the l'riio e. Fohe, Anna's father, is piitf with the Princes ., who, by the way, always adlreses the apothecary a " Lr," th s b- in which a (ermau prinees, of tb..e las spoke t a burgher. Tne ib-jei,t w;ts too weil aware .f the f.ery force latent in . her s ,n to adopt violent iueaures. Mie feared that he would, if any -erious attempts were made to part them, instantly marry Anria-Lie; and she, no doubt, was right. The Kienkojf," the iron-htad. as I,eopud was called, was a turbulent and luminous Ltd w hoin no one could control. The Princess re-memU-red that it was only when, as a b y, he was allowed to pi y with AnnaLise, she could at all managethe voting rebi-1. W.th his child-love the terrible lepold was do ile and gentle as a lamb. Anna-Lie, best and dearest of girls, supplied the sof:iies and tenderness and pottio element needed to balance the Prince's character of tip; and iron. The Kegent al-o recollected bowshe herself, and her s'i.r, the fir-: wife of the great Kleetor, had often, in later ear, laughed together over their lirt idle love-fancies; and she dc-ided upon proceeding by gentle measures, tru-ting to time ami to absence. It was resolved to let the Prince travel f. r a year or two with his tutor, Pe ('halisar. In his absence much might be done. The girl, with suitable dotation, might be happily married to one in her ow n station, lcopold would forg.t her. He once away, the oirl would Ikj malleable in their hands. This Princess had confidence in her diplomacy. It was much that Iv-ojxhl should start unmarried. Certainly the Kegent did not really understand her son. He consented readily to go. He d-'-sired ardently to go to Perhn, in order to join the lirandcnburg army and to obtain from the Llector his father's Anhalt regiment. To his mother's joy he was eager to set out at once, lb-fore he went, however, Leopold declared, in the nio-t positive manner, his fixed determination to marry Anna-Li-e so simhi as he should return, lb-knew, he aid, that directly he should be gone there would Ih; in'rigiies, and all the machi.ierv of the court set in motion to break off the inat b; but, added the young pes;(iier, with th utter ca'.m-rio-s of conviction, " I am so certain of Aiina-Li.e that I abandon the field to you witho-.t f-nr." lb- tl en warned them, emphatically, under threats of his aner, againi an; v i -h t.ce ; ami said liaiv ly to his mother : -'And now, mamma, I am going to Anna-Lise, to tell her that I ant about to start, ami to t-il her how she N to behave in mv absence. The instruetions that I sliall give her w ill Im cry simple, and will run about as follows; -Always resolute, Anna-L;e, resolute, firm, strong. Pon't let oursi If be put out by any tbingthey may b. I shall return, and then, Anna Lisc, then we shall marry.' And when I tell AnnaLie to do that she w ill do it ; I can rely upon that. You can't imagine, mamma, how well we suit each other. What I will, thnt wills iibn Anna-Lisp; and what Anna Li-e wishc-, I wih also.

I he Icis even the very grea'est delight

: iu soldiering ami in tin life of war." In this hai.iy frame of mind, full i t confidence m his lidove.1, delighted with the prosju-ct of travel and of ad venture, the young soltier Prince leaves lcssau for the first tisie. I'optdd couhl gearrely have fully anticipated the extent of the persecution which began for poo- Anna-Lise when he was fairly away. 1 ler own father and another suitor, female and other relatives, the Kegert, and the Court emissaries, were all engaged in trying to shake the faith td the lonely rirl. Iyeopold, however, knew Anna" xvell, and he judged rigttly in relying upon her truth. She received from him one letter, sent hy meats of a friend, vv hich was written froii Hcrlin, and announced, rapturously, that the Kleetor had given him tSe Anhalt regiment. He said that he slould not write agjain, because he knew that his letters would be intercepted bylhe lbgent ; and then, in his characteristic way, he adjures his "herz allcrli'bster Schat, AnnaLise!" t repulse all attacks, to remain true to him, and b lelieve entirely in his unchanginir truth ami affection. All which pretty Anna-Lise punctual!)-, does. Von Salberg; brings her one .lava' forged letter from lopold, in which; his betrothal to the Princess Adt lgutide ' is announced. Anna-Lise laughs I at him, and drives the J lob; marschall half mad with mocking; banter. She'knows the l'rinee '.sj stvle, and knows that the smooth, fluent ', letter read by von Salter was never w i iiten 'o In-1 i ouii Ix-H'id. la rl r to compare hand-writing, she shows him, with triumphant mischief, a real i letter from Leopold, and the "high-1 snitling lAcellencv" is at once furious ! and astonished. Her father is, however, her greabtt worry, for he is always in the leu-e, is of a tearfully pious character, :uid is very ag-gravating in his constant la hrymoe appeals ; but i nothing could shake the love of the I resolute, true-he;vrted ( Ierman girl, until ne day old Fofise, instigated by the: llegent, and in a state of more than, usual weeiinr iniiireiveiii.ss. explain-1 ci i t n i s t.auii.vi m.ti if ;.iii sin- , s -1,14 not as a burgh r-mai Ion be the full wife i'l ii I'iiuir, uui uri i uniiirii miiii it- - . .u. , I,..- ..i.; i ... ... l .. incapable of succession; and that, as ' Leopold was an only son, the royal race would die out in Anhalt Pessau if she; persisted in darning; the heir to the i throne, lie nlarged upon the injury j to her lover and to the country, and ..,1 ..... . ...i : t.

Iuisjoint of view had never before suggested itself to Anna-Li-e. w h i looked upon marriage with her Prince as marriage merely w ith her own tnie love; tu r loe since cbiblh'M .d's tear; and she was terribly atVcc'cd by the new -onilict excited between love and duly. She s,. ,n beik her resolution.

Kirm as she was in her new resolution, the girl's heart w:. broking;: and the better nature of the llegent w as touched by the uh-el tisllness, the dignity, and the deep grief of o,r Anna Lise. Where, the rrinccs egan to think, where would Leopold find a more royal bride than this noblf, true-h-arted, self-sacrificing; burghermaiden' The I'rincess half regretted that she had Wen successful in her diploma y; but successful, at last, she was, for Anna-Li-e would never waver in her truth and loyalty bi the linseltbh and lofty h-ve she bore. j us now see w hat the pupil and tutor are doing on their trav els.

On the other hand, he took the most vivid interest in every army.in every parade-ground and drill that he could find, and was always in the fencing schools or in the saddle. A man intinct with interest in the living present, and wholly wanting; in love for scholarship or love for science except the M-irnce of w ar. He had many adventures, and was a source of constant trouole and anxiety to his kind-hearted but weak-headed " bearleader."

Ieopwld urrivtd at Turin just As war began and plungeil into action with a wild ecstaey of tleiight. Life became earnest and calm for him so soon as he got to real work. He had found the true outlet for his unquiet yearnings. In his fust campaign he made his mark as a great captain, and was raised to the rank of general. When peace followed victory he burned to share his triumphs and his laurels with lis Anna-Lise, and marchel the Anhalt regiment impetuously back to pessau. He had not written to her since the tirst letter from Perlin. She had never written to him. In those days letters were serious matters, and the young couple knew well that their letters would le intercepted, lie had remained utterly true to his love in thought as in deed, and he had the fullest confidence in her loyalty to him. He knew nothing; of the succession argument, or of the filed which it had had upon his noble Anna-Lise; and so, singing with his soldiers his own Pcssauer March, LeopoM nears his own city. And imw, from afar, conn s on the wind a strain of martial music, and all 1 esaii prepares to welcome back, its young hero l'rinee. The Prin css-Ue-gcnt, surrounded by her court, expects the princely heir ; the mother longs to her long absent son. Hark! there are his drums; and now the shouts of the people ami the tramp of marching men. He will be here directly to paybis duty to his mother. There can be no doubt about that. That must be his tirt object in Pessau. Strange! the u'ie seems not to come towards the Sehloss. Presently Salberg announces with horror that leopold has man bed straight to Kohse 's "Apotheke," and is now with Anna-Lise, while the Anhalt regiment stands at ease before the house. In the midst of the court consternation, the l'rinee suddenly enters, dragging ...... the unwilling Anna Lise by the hand. iu I glcctilig or sai '11 to any tliere iv i ... he demands angriiV, Madel die .Mink- . . - - ......

It is generally In licved that there aie four castes, the brahmins, the warriors, the traders, and the working people j, Hindostan, but there are only two, brahmins ami working people. Some I'rahinins look with contempt upon other I'.rahmins, and the workiic
