By tho roaoh-Troo Wall
Where Ihe luanor.linino garden I tangled the

lly the tloor In the peach-lree wall,
You Inula ma f ircwell for nit hour, a. yon
thought
Hut wo parted for mien and for all.
Through tho long white glare, how the peonlen
iiHineti
111 tho noon of tho Jn'y day,
As you crossed the gras with llio gold on your
nit i r.
And tho crickets leaped up where Ihey lay.
The sunflowers, unwlnnlng, looked straight at
tho south,
And the hollyhocks stood tullj
And the butterflies Iwnvered, brown, niure, and
red,
In the hush by the peach-lreo wall.
After midsummer days wltii never a night,
Came the wlntor, tho chill, and the rain:
When the hollyhock's life was asleep In the
ground,
Till tho pencil blossoms floworcd again.
And the wenrlsomo months of waiting lu vain,
Ever stealing my youth from me,
Ever straining my eyes through the darkness,
Ever stretching my arms o'er tho sea,
For Hie lire of that sultry summer sun
Has burnoJ down so deep In my heart,
Though years and the autumn bring calmness,
my dear,
I am scarce now content to part.
For still when the July noons arj come,
Aud tlio hollyhocks grow tall,
I walk and dream dro mis ns we dreamed; my
dear,
Under tho peach-tree. wall.
When tho pisslounte llfe-strire Is over.
The folly, the chill, anil tho pain,
A shadow, In shadowless nointlde,
Perhaps I may walk hero again.
Tho Bravo at Homo.

THE LUUE.
1 va traveliiiL; into ono suniincr
ovcnlng through ono of tlio most lono-
lyaiul pluturesquii valleys of tlio wes
tern const of Norwny. It was Impas
sible for all save t lie sure-footed moun
tain-pony of that country, so that I
preferred often to trudgoa few miles on
foot, my luggago.rods, Ac., being strap
ped on tlio pony's back. It was ono of
thoso delicious evenings that aro to bo
found, I think, only in northern lati
tudes; for, though it was close on mid
night, the sun still sliono on tho tops of
(ho mountains that hemmed In eitiier
i-ldo of tho narrow valley; whilo below
wasquitcliglit enough to read tho small
est print with ease. My guldo and
pony were about n couple of hundred
yards in front of me, for I loitered bo-
hiiid.every now and then.to adiuiro tlio
grandeur of tho s-cene, or to watch tho
over-shifting light on u distant glacier,
which looked mora Hko u sen of opal
thnii anything else to which I can com
pare it. Indeed, every yard I advanc
ed, thero was something fresh to won
at. Now It was a torrent falling
perpendicularly downward from tho
heights above, and losing Itself long cro
it reached tho bottom in massesof featli
ery spray, airordlng a wondrous display
of nquntlc lire-works; now It was a
grand waterfall, leaping and dashing
down tho Held sldo In Impetuous liasto
to reach tlio rlver.tliat fretted nnd chaf
ed along llko an angry serpent at tho
bottom of tho valley. And yet, with
all tho din and nolco of the roaring
flood, Uiere'wns n deathly, oppressive
fitillncss. Not a breath of wind stirred,
not n sound of animal llfo was heard,
save hero nnd there tho tinkling of n
distant w-bell, tlio whirring ofa goat
sucker on tho wing, or tho splash of a
salmon in tho river below.
All at once, however, I was startled
by'hearlng n loud though melodious
sound far abovo my head among tho
rocks. It reminded mo moro of the
Alpine horn than anything I had uver
heard.
"What Is that?" I inquired ns I lias
tentd on to catch up to my guide.
"It Is a luurt" was tho reply. A luur
1 must Inform my readers, Is a long
Imrn liindo of birchen bark, which tlio
pt admits uo to collect their cattle. It
btritck mo at tho tinio ns being strange
for pcoplo to bo out at that tlmo of
night so Into with their cattlo ; hut my
attention .was toon diverted to other
objects, and I daresay t dismissed tho
strangeness or tho incident from my
thoughts with tho reflection that noth
ing could in (nitli bo strange in a coun
try where day nnd night wero one.
Ucfoio long, I arrived at tlio farm-hous-o
whero I wasoxpccted,and whore
I Intended staying a few weeks nalrnon
flishing. Lato though Itwas, my host
was waiting to rceelvo me. Ho was a
middle-aged man, with long llaxen hair
(lowing down to his shoulders, nnd was
dressed In full national cosdiine. Ho
greeted mo In trim Norwegian style,
ami after expressing his fears that I
must bo weary, led tlio way Into tho
house, whero nn nmplo supper was laid
outfornio. I had an Introduction (o
him from n friend of his In Chrlstinnla,
who promised moeomu excellent fish
ing, If I would consent to put up with
a rough llfo for a fow weeks.
Ingnbrtet such was tho nanio In
which my host rejoiced was a (all,
broad-built man. His features wero
(Inc)y chiselled; In fact, ho was a per
son who could not fall to attract atten
tion wherever ho might bo. Ho was n
widower, but his only daughter, Ingel
civ, lived ut homo witli him, und limn
aged his domestlonflali-sforhlin. Tlieto
two, with somo half-dozen farm-ser-
vants and their families, who lived In
hutscloso by tlio fnrm-liuuso, formed
(ho wholo populallon to bo found for a
dtstanco of soveral miles. Ingclciv was
a iruo specimen of a Norwegian nioun
tain beauty; tatl In figuro llko her fnth
er.wlth the same nuburn hall, nnd hluo
molting eyes, sho presented n picture
mat an artist would havo loved to
paint
'Twns beauty truly blent, whose red and while
Nuluie's own sweet nndcnnnlng hand laid on.
Thero was something, too. nbout hor
that attracted my attention; perhaps It
was her hearing, approaching almost to
statcllnesj, that struck mo. At all
ovents.slio seemed Immeasurably suno
rlor to what a Norwegian farmer's
daughter usually Is.
Rut befororotiring to bed, my host
informed me, to .my surprise, that he
was a lineal descendant of tho great
Harold Hanrfngcr ("falr-lialrcd.") His
family, ho said with an air of conscious
dignity, had nover mingled with any
who wero not of royal blood. Ho was
tho last of his raco, and before ho died.
ho hoped to seo his daughter married to
a cousin of his, who lived I forgot
wiiere.
How strango it all seemed to me I
There, nmld tho fastness of tho moun
tains, to meet with a man who could
traco his descent from kings whoso
names have left a stamp on tho pago of
History. Turning theso things over and
over in my mind, I soon fell into a
peaceful slumber. How Ion 1 slept I
know not.but I was awakened by hear
ing tho samo plaintive- sound of tho
luur on tho mountain side opposite. I
sprang out of bed, and throwing tho
window open, distinctly heard a voice
caldng or rather singing in a melodious
key: "How Is ?'' And hero follow
ed a word I could not catch; and then
another voice at a long distance off took
up tho strain, nnd inado somo reply in
tlio samo harmonious key. I listened
to hear it repeated, but all was still; so
again seeking my couch, I resumed my
dream about monstrous salmon and
countless herds of reindeer.
Noxt morning I was soon down; and
as Ingeleiv was laying out breakfast
for mo In tho largo kitchen, her father
came In from seeing after his farm, and
made earnest and polito inquiries about
tho way in which I had passed the
night.
"Famously 1" I answered; "but somo
of your pcoplo wero early astir, for I
could hear two voices on yon Jer moun
tains as if after tho cows;" and putting
my bund to my mouth I imitated ns
well as I could tho sound I had heard.
"Strange!" hcanswered, "for I havo
no cattlo on the mountain this summer.
Did you hear It, Inga?" turning to his
daughter.
Rut Inga's averted face, which was
tho color of scarlet, plainly showed mo
that sho did know something moroabout
It than her father know. So thinking
It might ho a lover, and that they wero
obliged to adopt this method of court
ing, or of "touring" each other.I quick
ly turned tlicsuhjcct and spoko of other
things. From that day, however, In
geleiv avoided me. and thus depriving
mo of any opportunily of finding out
tho mystery of tho luur.
I will not fatigue my leaders by
dwelling on tho sport I had with tho
salmon, nor yet on tho excursions I
mado nfter reindeer In company with
my host, who was a clever hunter aud
capital shot; suffice to say, I thorough,
ly enjoyed myself. But alas! it was
timo for mo to think of leaving; and I
was tho moro sorry, because I could teo
that Inga was evidently unhappy, and
woro about her pretty and formerly
cheerful faeo an air which betokened
great menial suffering.
It was late In tho evening when I
bade my kind friends adieu, for I wish
ed tigntn to traversothat mountain val
ley by night. My shjtsboy (they call
them all boys lnNorwoy.whethcr they
bo old men, or oven of tho opposlto
gender,) or post-boy, was an Intelligent
youth of two or threo and twenty years.
"Wo soon becamogreat friends, and in
less than half an hour ho had commun
icated tho history of his llfo to mo."Ho
had been educated as u schoolmaster,"
ho said, "but was now only n laboring
servant onun adjacent farm."
"Everybody seems to fall Instead of
riso In thebo parts," I thought to my
self, when ho lind concluded his tale.
Our rond Jay up a steep rocky path.
Carl such was tho lad's name was
leading tho pony In front by tho bridle,
whilo I as usual was sauntering behind
to catch a last long look of tho lovely
scene, when again I was aroused from
my reverlo by teeing him placo his
hands to his mouth, and directing his
volco toward tho mountain. semi forth
a plaintive sound. Inn few seconds I
heard It thrown back from tho rocks,
aud should doubtless havo thought It
was but tho echo, had not tho waving
of a woman's garment two hundred
feet abovo my head attracted my oye.
"I will find out this mystery beforo I
go," J said aloud, for, Indeed, so en
grossed had I been with Ihlilng and
shooting, that It had quite escaped my
memory. "Curl," 1 said, "what Is
that?"
llo seemed qulto taken back nt tho
suddonness of tho question, hut laugh
ed it till' by faying ho win only calling
fur amusement.
"Rut I tell you, soinu ono answered
you up yonder; and see, sho Is waving
her hand towards us. I will go and see;
do you wait below."
And lu a few moments I had clam-
bered up tho hlllsldo to whero I had
fancied I had seen tho woman standing.
Sho was no longer'vlslblo; but I ob
served a low hut built of leafy boughs,
a few paces oil', nenrly hidden behind a
rocky ledge.
Carl nowcauglit mo up, and tried to
dissuade mo from entering; but tho
despair depleted on his faeo only mado
mo the moro resolved to curry out my
determination, so, pushing him back, I
opened tho door nutl entered tho hut.
A straago sight met my eye. On tho
middle of tlio tloor was a llttlo cradle,
in which n rosy-chocked baby lay sleep
lug, whilo kneeling down by Its sldo.as
If keeping guard over her child's slum,
ber, was Its mother, Sho raised hor
head on my approach, nnd I saw, to my
COL.
astonishment, that It was nono other
Ihan tho pretty daughter of my host.
"Ingeleiv 1" I said, "you hero!" as tho
wholo mystery now lay open beforo
inc.
"Oli, tall him, Carl 1" sho answered,
bowing her head down, as If afraid to
look mo In tho face "tell him ! I know
ho Is a kind man, and may help us!"
Thus solicited, Carl narrated to mo
the following touching tale:
They had been brought up together,
ho said, from childhood, nnd what won
der If they becamo all in all to each
other. Ho know ho was not worthy of
her, and that Ingsbrtet would nover
glvohls daughter to him a common
farming-man. Rut he would mako him
self worthy of her; and so ho studied
hard at his books, and with tho help or
tho good pastor, hud hoped to be ablo
to lako a post ns schoolmaster (an oflleo
held In great respect among tlio peas
antry.) Rut It was all In vain ; ho had
no royal blood In his veins; and neith
er prayers nor entreaties could move
tho stern old man from his purposo of
wedding his daughter to ono of tho
samo family with herself. "Then,"
said Carl, "I was miserable, and
thought I had better leavo tho world
as quickly as I could, for thero was
nothing in It worth living for now.But
sho camo to me, just as I was about to
" and his voico failed as ho camo to
this part of his story, "nnd promised to
sharo weal or woo with me, and In a
weak moment I consented. And now
now sho Is mado as wretched us my
self; and I-1 alono am her destroyer."
Words would fall mo wero I to at
tempt to descrlbo tho scene that follow
ed the conclusion of his slmplo hut
touching tale; indeed, I was so moved
myself at tho distress of tho two young
people, that it is best to draw a veil
over it.
"Rut whero bus the child been all
this whilo?" I inquired.
"Hero, sir!" answered Carl. "I built
tills hut, and Ingeleiv and I take It in
turns as wo can bo with it."
"And how far Is this from your fath
er's house?" I inquired of Ingeleiv.
"About threo miles; but Carl has
twice that distance to go;"and the tears
rolled fast down hor cheeks.
"You seo, sir," added Carl, "as yet
during tho summer wo have been able
to manage; but now that tho days aro
becoming shorternnd shorter, and win
ter is coming on, God abovo only
knows what will bo tho end of it." And
hero Carl followed Ingelciv'a example,
and cried like a child.
"Well, cheer up, my friends; I'll do
what lean to help you; but you must
ngreo to act according to my directions.
Let us wait till to-morrow, however; It
is too lato to think of doing anything
nt this lato hour." So spreading my
rug down on tho ground, and making
n pillow or my knapsack, and light
ing that unfailing source of consolation,
a good cigar, I lay down and smoked,
thought over the best plan to bo adopt
ed to mako things smooth, and then
fell asleep.
Noxt morning we all fet out for In
gelciv'a house. I need not say how
surprised my old friend wns to seo mo
return so quickly.
"What I you couldn't leavo tho sal
mon then 5" ho said.
Meanwhile, Carl, had taken the child
and loitered n llttlo behind on tho road,
whilo Ingeleiv slipped into the houto
unobserved.
"Yes," I taid, enteritig the house;
and then after a few commonplace re
marks, I led tho conversation to a topic
on which the old man never wearied
of hearing himself or others talk
nninoly, tho old kings of Norway. But
I was determined not to humor him to
his full bent this timo; for when ho
got on his favorite hobbyhorse, it was
difficult to stop him; so I turned the
conversation to hard-hearted parents
and ill assorted marriages, and told him
about Philip .of Spain, D'Agucsscau,
and others; nnd then, when I sawl had
made somo impression for tho old man
received any historical fact, especially
when itrelated tothogreatof tlio earth,
with implicit confidence and had ox.
cited his curiosity, I concocted a llttlo
history exactly similar in all respects
to that of Ingeleiv nnd Carl; and when
I had concluded, I took down two
books from tho book-shelf, which gave
ovldent signs or having been well stud-
led.
"Here, Ingotou!!," I said, taking up
ono it was Ills ravoiilo book tho His
tory or the kings of Norway "hero Is
a book which tells you all about tho
lives nnd deaths of royalty, but hero
Is a book" (it was tho Riblo) "which
teaches us that in God's sight, who is
King of nil kings, wo nro all equal. Hu
mility, rorgivoncss and lovo nro tho
lessons it teaches us." And then run
ning out or tho room, and retching back
tho Infant In a trice, I laid It in his arms
saying: "And hero is your daughter's
child, Ingcbrtct, and It prays through
mo that you will not rcpulso your own
blood rmm you; remember too, that
thu blood or ohl Haiald Haarfnger Is
flowing In Its veins."
It was a strango wry of breaking
nows, dear reader, you may perhaps
say; and you aro quite right. Rut still
1 think It was tho most olfecllvo way
I could havo adopted. That last touch .
about thu child being of royal descent
was, I hiivooverslneo thought, tho most
masterly und diplomatic thing I over
did iu my lite. A dcuth-liko palenc.-s
eamo over tho old man's face. I felt It
was u critical moment, und did not keep
silence. Never, I am suro, did I talk
so fast, beg, pray or entreat so hard us
I did then. At last ho began to relent;
for at first ho was nil wr driving his
daughter out from homo and hearth,
Not that ho would havo dona It, I am
suro, rbr ho loved her dearly. Rut by
degrees, when tho first shock was over,
nnd Alien Inga hail thrown herself
down on tho floor, ami had embraced
his knees, begging fur mercy ror herself
aud hopeless babe, tho rigid muscles or
ills race begun to quiver, and ho burst
Into tears.
"Nothing llko u good cry," I thought
to mytelf, as I hurried out to fetch iu
Cud; "ltdoos man and woman good
whon practiced In moderation."

Stoninoton, Conn., Feb. 1!). For

tho neighboring towns or Westerly and

been tho scenes or much excitement,
caused by various rumors as to the con
dition or a youug lady In tho latter

in a stato or franco for nearly n week.
Others denied this, asserting that sho

finding a low. weather-beaten

young lady's mother, from whorn we
learned tho following facts:
Miss Susie A. King, hor daughter,
was about twenty.thrco years of ago
and of fine personal appearance. About
two weeks ago sho was taken sick with
somo allectlon of the throat, bv willed
she was confined to her bed ror several
days, when sho was supposed to bo con
valescent, nnd allowed ono day (o como
down stairs. That night, however, sho
grow woreo, complaining or severe
pains in her hands and reel, and con
tinued to grow v,orso till thu next day,
when sho lapsed Into an unconscious
state, in which sho remained until her
death. Friday, tho 11th, at hair-past
seven a. m. Tlio usual preparations for
the grave wero made; the body laid In

Anecdotes of an Eccentric.
Fred Emmons was an eccentric wit,
well known at Rttrfalo, Cleveland, nnd
other lake ports, several years ago, as ft
"steamboat runner." Ho it was wh6,
on being stopped by n rob'berono dark
night with n demand fur hl3"monoy ot
liis llfo," coolly responded that ha
hadn't gotany money, but If ho would
step under a lamp post ho would writ
him his nolo for flvo or ten dollars!
Poor Fred! It was Immaterial to him
whether it was flvo or ten dollars, for he
never paid anything.
Charley Coo, of Cleveland, now pro
prietor or the Cleveland flouring mill
(and tho man, by the way, to whom
"Artemus Ward" dedicated his book,
styling him In his characteristic, warm
hearted way, "a friend all tho year
round,") once lost a valuablo dog.
Thinking that ho might havo got on
board tho Ruffalo boat nnd been carried
off, as ho wos nbout tho dock a good
deal, Coo wroto to Fred Emmons, then
nt Buffalo, to Institute a search for tho
dog. Weeks passed without a word
rrom Fred. Being In Buffalo ono day,
Mr. Coo met Fred, who said ho had
been searching ror tho dog over since
tho receipt of his letter, but with, no
success; thus far.
"1 have, however," said Fred, "a
llttlu bill that I would llko you losctlle,
if convenient."
Ho thereupon produced n bill, which
ran (and is running yet, wo reckon)
about as follows:

'What does this mean V" said Cop.
"You wanted m'o to look up your dog,
didn't you ?"
"Certainly."
"You expected to pay any oxpenso I
went to?"
"Of course, any reasonable expense."
"Well, that's just what I've been do
ing. I havo been boarding mound at
tho various hotels and rcstaurauts, tast
ing sausage to seo If I could find any
traces of your dog ; but I haven't yet."
Ho was excused from any further
search In that way.
Once, in Cleveland, Fred was solicit
ing passengers at the docks for tho Buf
falo boats. As tho boat was about to
leave, a carriage drovo furiously to tho
dock, and out got a ponderous puffy
man, with an immenso cxp.iuso of
wlilto shirt bosom, followed by an
equally f.tl wire, with a nurso and fiev
cral children.
'tTlils way Tor tho nufl'.iln boat!"
shouted Fred.
Tho man with llio bro.ul shirt bo$om
wanted to know what llio passage. Tor
himself and family would amount to
beroro goiugaboard.
"Tell you in 11 minute," said Em
mons, whipping Jut n big red pencil
used in filling out pos-tors.
Then, beforo ho know what hq was
about, Fred had it all figured out on tho
old fellow's broad while shirt front!
Thero was a moment of speechless rago
on tho part of tho man as ho east his
eyes from the big red figures on his
shirt bosom to Fred, who looked tho
very Imago of guiltless innocence at
that moment, and then ho pitched In
and gavo Fred such a whaling that ho
was laid up in bed for six weeks nfter.
To most pcoplo it would scorn to bo
rather an expensive Joke, but Fred al
ways declared it was "worth it." Ho
said the astonishment on the old man's
raco when ho saw tlio figuring was
"better than to bo licked to death."
We should say so.
Fred wns a great boaster. Ho boasted
too much and too loud ono day. Ho
had been absent from Cloveland for a
long time, nnd, eomiug back ono day,
ho said he had been to California and
tho gold diggings, and brought back
lots of gold. Somo fellows who believ
ed tho story followed him out of a sa
loon ono night into a lonely street, and
murdered lilm for his money. They
didn't find a cent about him to roward
them for tho bloody deed. Poor Fred !
If ho could say anything nbout it ho
would say It was "a "good Joko on
them!"
Tako Caro of "SToni' Bcctb.
Rousseau said that no woman with
lino teeth could bo ugly. Any femalo
mouth with n good set ot teeth, is kiss
able. Tlio too early lo?s or tho first
teeth has an unfavorable Influence upon
tho beauty and duration of tho second.
Tho youngest chlldrenphould according
ly bo mado to tako caro of them. All that
is necessary is to bruslf them soveral
limes a day with a llttlo ordinary soap
or magnesia and water. After eating,
tho particles of rood should bo carohilly
removed from tho teeth by means of u
toothpick of quill or wood, hut nover
of metal, and by a thread passed now
and then between thu teeth. Cam
phorated and acid tooth powders nro
Injurious both to the enamel ami tho
gums, and If employed, every parllclo
of them should be removed from the
mouth by carefully rinsing. Tho habit
which somo ladles have of using a bit
of Ionian, though It may whiten tho
teeth nnd give tho temporary firmness
and color to tho gums, is fatal to tho
enamel, as aro nil acids. No one, young
or old should (urn their jaws Into nut
crackers; and It Is oven dangerous for
women to blto off, as they oiten do, the
ends of thread In sewing. Tt is not safe
to bring very hot rood or drink, espec
lally ir Immediately followed by any
thing cold, in contact with the teeth.
