STORY OF THE BABY KING OF SPAIN.
An English gentleman, Sir James Nursey, was walking recently in the Park of La Granja, near Madrid, when he sat down on a bench to rest. Presently a handsomely attired nurse, carrying an infant, seated herself near him. The child at once fixed its eye 9 on the bright silver knob of the stick the Englishman wag carrying, and stretched out its arms for it. The stranger abandoned the coveted object, to the child to play with, but wben a quarter of an hour later he wished to resume his walk, the infant refused to give up the stick, and screamed with rase whan the nurse attempted to take it from him. The gentleman was obliged to leave without his cane, but gave his card to the nurse to return it. In the evening, a domestic from the Court took the stick back to Sir James Nuraey, with a letter from Queen Maria Christina, thanking him for the pleasure he had caused her son. Sir James had made the acquaintance of the King of Spain.
