I exchanged the first necessary cails. and soon found I could not endure the usual gossip of the set. We took up a course of scientific reading between us. keeping up the liveliest sympathy in the advanced thought of the world, and the philosophic questions of the day. "Je discussed the future of our boy, and pianned aboveall that he should not be a’ soldier. Our wedding four, extending to the Rhine and to Switzerland, brought many charming revelations. I dis- covered man} new qualities in my ihusband. I found him full of liveli-V ness and quick appreciation of every- thing beau.1f 1:1 in nature and art, and discovered also that he was a perfect master of the French and English languages. Our two months passed only too swiftly, and the first un- pleasant moment was when the of- ficial paper came recalling us to duty. In September we were married. My husband had two months’ leave, and we spent a week in Berlin, visiting the sister of Frederick's mother. The two sisters had greatly resembled, each other. and I was able to realize the beauty of character of the one from the Other. Frau Cornelia von Tcssau. the widow of a Prussian general, was the mother of an only son. just about to become a lieuten- ant, and a tom-hing affection existed between them. such as I hoped my son and l nfialzt experience someday. Frederick's gzance said, “I know you 3.3.813" but aloud he :‘8marked. with a smile: "Yes-«maybe she cnly fell in love with my uniform.” “Those are good reasons, and I? shall try to keep my wife from as, many unpleasantnesses as possible! . I But would It not be most unpleasant to have a husband without a calling? If I resigned. it would count for lazi- ness or cowardice.

But after half an hour's conver- sation the old folks were somewhat reconciled, and my father agreed to come in the evening to meet his future son-in-law at my house. All the relatives came at the same time, and I introduced Tilling as my betrothed. Rosa and Lilli were de- lighted. Conrad cried: “Bravo, Mar- tha. Lilli should profit by your ex- ample." My father had conquered his antipathy, or succeeded in concealing it,‘and Aunt was even full of senti- ment. Little Rudolf Was presented to his “new papa." who kissing, said: “Of you. my little fellow, we two must try to make a perfect man.” During the evening my father sug- gested his idea that Tilling would quit the service. The latter answered in astonishment, "Weir," send my ranger; signing, “every one makes his own heaven. I suppose he will resign." “To think." said Aunt Marie, “that you have rPfused a Prince! and now you are descending in the social scale instead." “Give up my career, when I have no other!
