Nice Young Couple.

The young Prince has been a muchpitied young man. The gods were unpropitious at his birth, the German doctor so wrenching his tiny arm that it has remained hanging palsied and powerless ever since. He cannot, therefore, fence well, or shoot well, or display his prowess in the gymnasium. But he is a good hand at whist, and waltzes as only Prussian officers can waltz. For his size he is rather thick-set and heavy and in his face the sentimental predominates over the intellectual. He may be expected to make a good King of Prussia, of the Frederick William IV. kind; that is to say, he will not startle Europe by a decided policy in anything. He has inherited the Hanoverian chin from his mother, and the Hohenzolleni nose from his father. The loose setting of his lips gives an impression of indecision-, therefore, it is to be hoped that when his turn arrives to play the role of Emperor, he will be blessed with strong ministerial aid.

The Princess, a tall, well-grown young lady, evidently prejudiced against tightlacing, has a will of her own and and refuses to be photographed by the vendors of royal beauties. There is no fineness of form in her features. Her outward attractions consist of large sentimental blue eyes, bounteous blonde hair and a snowy complexion delicately tinted with the glow of health. The nose is expressive ot good sense, but the chin disappoints lovers of the classic form. It is a little too small and receding and seems uncontrolled by the will—as though it had a set of feelings apart from those belonging to the firm nose and brow.— London Truth.
