many people suppose him to bo His wife is nmo years younger than her husband and was him in 1847 Hor maiden name was Johanna von Puttkamer and she was the daughter of a quiet godly Pomer anian home the atmosphere of which was pervaded by tho spirit of tho Mo fraternity That tho mad Squire of as Bismarck was then called in tho gossip of the neighborhood tho future Iron Chancellor should have been attract ed by and at tho same time should have awakened a warm and lively interest in a lady whose first impressions of men and things were received amid such surroundings need not after all create any surprise Even in those days the period of unrest storm and stress had been succeeded by ono of calm and his wildness and love of mischief had given place to selfexamination and a longing after higher things Tho Princess was strictly and piously up but u of a cheerful and lively disposition en dowed with a considerable amount of keenly sensitive and pos sessed of excellent taste Very musical and an excellent performer on tho piano she is at the same time a careful and thrifty housewife and like the noble ladies of former times possesses some knowledge of tho healing art During all these
