And only when fully awake would I realize my entire incapacity to stem such a tideâ€"as well might I face the swelling waves of the sea, and command them to dry up. Frederick and I had made very definite plans for the future. At the close of the war he was to resign, and we would retire to some small country place. and live with his pension and my allowance in a_ slmple way. Frederick intended to take up the study of international law and science apart from its sentimental and utopian aspect, and make himself capable of grasping the practical side of all these ideas. He felt that the world was coming into a new era of thought, and he desired to lead his life into these lines along with our domestic pleas- .We had not communicated our thoughts to my father, who had quite other ambitions for our future. “You will be a. colonel at a very early age, Tilling," he said one day, “and in ten years you will certainly be a. general. A fresh war will cer- tainly give you the command of an entire corps, and you may even reach the rank of commander-in-chief, who knows.

The hereditary thirst for blood has not completely died out of civilized man, and since in Europe we have no lon- \ ger beast nor barbarism to' fight, we . create an artificial enemy for our- selves, and the hunt goes thus: You here have red coats, and over there blue coats.

The Prussian troops were quartered everywhere about Grumitz, and the villagers were possessed with terror of the hated .nemy, whose name be- came the synonym of every evil, and when the quartermaster approached to arrange quarters for his men they tumbled as if the wolves were upon them. An cccasional patriot sent a rifle bullet from some place of hiding after the foe. and his quick execution forced the :il‘agers to suppress their hatred. Much to the surprise of the villagers, 1.111111 they quartered the sol- diers, they found the “enemy” was usually a 1': good-natured friendly lot, 1'50 1:11:13 : :ally paid lhei "bi is.

And how time the youngster did look in his new hunting-suit. How proud I was of him." The house was suddenly all in an uproar of loud voices and hasty Steps. Franz tho footman, pale with terror, flew into the room, and as though he were shouting “Fire!" called out “The I’russians, the Prussians, and, your Excellency, they have a prisoner â€"â€"your son-«who is said to have fired on them."

Our enemies seemed to he very courtly gentlemen, with the most approved conventional manners of the best society.

And un- der this soft light the Prussian Prince Henry lost his heart to our beautiful Rosa; and to our astonishment my father made no objection, so the en- gagement was announced to the family. I had believed that my father’s hatred of the Prussians would make it impossible for him to accept one as a son-1n-law, but he separated alto- gether the individual from the nation. We often hear peOple protest: “I hate them as a nation, not as individuals." This is quite assensible as if one were to say: "i hate wine as a drink. but the drops 1 swallow with pleaSLre. ’ But pOplllal‘ sayings are not expscted to be rational. Perhaps the Doss bility of an alliance for his daughter with a princely hous: flatte’red my father, at any rate he said yes with apparent pleasure. But Otto rebelled at the idea: “How would- it be should war break out again, and I were obliged to chase my brother-indax out of the country 1’" However, he was soon converted to the famous theory of the diffrâ€"‘rmme between sz‘ons and individuals.
