Because his bread's not always buttered;
Or trembling, falls before a threat

Soule rnurm'ring, discontented wights,
Are like the spoiled and petted, boy,
Who, wasting pleasure's that he has,
ticeks only those he can't enjoy.
They think not of God's kindly gifts,
But let each trifling grief annoy,
And thee, in vain, ungrateful sighs.
The precious hours of life employ.

THE SKY-LEAPERS.
Much of the interest felt in beholding
a chain of lofty mountains, arises from
the feeling that on lands such as these
the foot of the invader has seldom rest
ed, and bus seldom long tarried. .So
often, from the pass of Thermopylcc to
the heights of Mogarten, have the brave
proved their own hills to be impregnable,
that no tale of overwhelming numbers
will counteract the feeling that a moun
tain land so won has been betrayed by
the cowardice of the inhabitants, Of
this cowardice, history unfortunately,,
gives us some proofs, But these few
instances of weakness and treachery
only serve to give the force of strong
contrast, to the bright example of higher
and nobler spirits. These reflections
apply more especially to Norway, the
tradition which often rouses the warm
Norse blood, when told by some of the
older peasants to the listeners round a
cottage hearth on a long winter's even
ing.
In 1612, there was . a war between
Norway and Sweden, distinguished from
a mass of the forgotten conflicts, at one
time so frequent between these rival
and neighboring countries, by the tragic
fate of Sinclair 's body of Scottish allies,
the remembrance of which is celebrated
in a fine Norweigan ballad. It is a mat
ter of history, that the Scots landed on
the west coast of Norway, to join their
allies, the Swedes, and wept along the
only valley pass leading to Sweden, and
were annihilated in the deep defile of
'Galbransdale, by the peasantry. At the
time when they should have arrived In
Sweden, a small body of Sweeds, en
camped in .lempteland, resolved to join
their allies, of whose movements they
had received intelligence, and escort
them over the frontiers, crossing by the
hill passes, and uniting with the Scots
on the other side. This band, to whose
fortunes we attach ourselves, numbered
but three hundred warriors ; but they
Were the flower of Sweden. They re
solved to penetrate the barrier at the
most inaccessible point, believing that
the Norsemen would collect in the South
ern country, where they were opposed
by a Swedish army, tind rest secure in
the deep snows ; which rendered the
hills impassible, for the defence and cer
tain protection of their mountain fron
tier.
. .
So they came,. says the legendary
story, to the foot of the wild pass of
Roden, n spot fitted to be dangerous to
the Swedes, and since strewed with the
frozen corpses of the hosts of Laharre
and Zoega,•who perished there. Their
company filled the few cottages of the
small hamlet on the Swedish side of the
barrier, where they arrived.in the early
part of the day. They were eager in
their inquiries for a guide,. being resol
ved to pass the hills ere night,, lest ti
dings should reach the Norsemen of
their approaching foes but all their
search proved fruitless.. Many of ,the
Swedes of the village had been over
these mountains, but none were on the
spot possessing that ,firm confidence de
rived from certainty of knowledge, and
conscious intrepidity, which could alone
make them sure and willing guides in
an expedition of such peril and• impor
tance.
--
At last old Sweyne Koping, the keep
er of the little ina nt which. was the
Swedes' head quarters, shouted with
the joy of one who has at once hit upon
the happy solution of a difficulty. " kly
the bear !" he exclaimed, "could none
of you think of the only man in Jetup
teland fit for the enterprise, and he here
on the spot all the While! Whore ft
Jaris Lindens I"
A hundred mites echoed the eager
question, cad the leaders were told. to
their regret that they must wait perforce
till the morrow, for the only matt able
or willing to guide theriv(Lindens) had
gone forth on a journey, and could not
possibly return that day.
" Well," said Eric Von Dalin, the
chief of the Swedish detachment, "there
is no hope for it. To-day we must de
pend upon the kind entertainment of
our hose: beware, my brave Mon all,
beware of deep horns of ale or mead.—
Remember," pointing to the rugged
peaks glittering in the snow, " remem

chief person in the hamlet) loolc, well
that no sound of our coming reach those
Norse sluggards. There may be some
here, who for their eouhtry's sake,',
would cross the hills this night With
warning."
" Thou art right, by IVlnnheim's free

Stavenger ; he knows those hills better
than his own hunting pouch, and would
think little 6f carrying the news to his'
countrymen. lam sorry," he continued:,
turning to Alf, " verily I•grieve to make
an old friend a prisoner; but you must
bide here in safe keeping till our men
are well forwarded."
"I care not if I stay here to night and
forever," replied the Norseniun. Eric
now looked for the first time on the
speaker;
and confessed that he had 'ne
ver beheld a finer looking man. In the
prime of the beauty of the Northern
youth, Alf Stavenger was remarkable
for a caste of features bearing the tra
cesof a higher mind than can often be
discerned in the cheerful, lusty faces of
his countrymen. "Does the valley
marksman speak thusl" said the host.
"Ay," answered the youth, " when
you are thrust forth from the fireside,
you can but seek another roof. , If your
own hand cast you out, you are fain to
cling to the stranger—the enemy !"
" Has Einlan's father been rough V'
inquired Swene. •
"Name hiin.not I" replied the young
peasant angrily. " They have heaped
refusal and insult upon me—let them
look for their return."

your troop this night over the Tydel.—

cried a young soldier; for your crags
we fear them not, were they as high as
the blue heavens. Our life has been
among rocks, and in . our land we are
called - the Sky-leapers."
" I will trust the' young Norseman,"
continued the chief; wounded • pride

hate the land that has spurned him,
were it his own a hundred tithes."
As dig day Was fast wearing away,
but little dine was lost in preparation.
Each man carried with him shifts, to be
used when, alter climbing the rough as
cent, they wound along those narrow
and difficult paths which skirt the face
of the cliffs crossing the mountains.—
Their guide told them, when it grew
dark . , they would be guided by lighted
torches, to
,be procured and used as he
should afterwards direct them.
During their slippery and rugged
journey, Alf could not help admiring
the spirit, coolness and activity shown
by the party in sealing the dangerous
rocks ; and they felt insensibly drawn
one to another by that natural, though,
unuttered friendship Which binds togeth
er the brave and high-souled. Still few
words passed between them though
many of the Swedes spoke Norse well,
and Alf knew Swedish as thoroughly as
his own tongue. On both sides wore
feelings which led them to commune
with their thoughts in silence.
After some hard and successful climb
ing, they halted at the close of the day,
on the snowy sdmmit of a ridge they
had just ascended to fasten on. their
skates. They, had now to traverse the
long slippery, defiles so peculiar, to Nor- .

At every step the Windings became

cried in a bold and cheerful tone, "No

Leapers follow thee !" On !" shouted
back the guide with .a cry that echoed
through, the whole band, and quickened
their lightning speed. Their torches
flew along in one unbroken straight
stream of fire, till n wild death scream
arose, marking the spot where light afA
ter light dropped in the dark silence.—
The depth was so terrible that all sound
of fall was unheard. But that cry reach
' ed.: the sinking line, and their hearts
died within them; there Was no stopping
their arrow flight—no turning, aside
without leaping into the slicer air.
Alf Staveuger shuddered at the death
leap of these brave men over the edge
of the rock. His soul had been bound
to them in their brief journeying togeth
er, and had they not come as his coun
try's invaders, he would have loved
them as brothers for their frank cour
age. But Alf was nt heart a true son of
Norway. It is true he bad resolved,in

his father land forever; still, when he
sew this band coming to lay waste the
valleys which he knew were undefended,
his anger was jolt moment forgotten,
and all his hot Norse blood was stirred
within him, He was deterred, as we
have seen, from crossing the hills to
warn his countrymen; and he knew that'
when Jeris returned, he would be able
and willipg to guide the Swedes over
the pass. He soon planned his daring
scheme, " Ay," thought he, while this
waving train followed his leading torch,
I told them that here they should earn
the proud name of Sky Leapers! that
here those who warred with Norway
should have their fate ! I said that
Skialm Hardner would wish he had
given me his fair daughter—that my
name should be known over my land for
a deed of feat and wonder! I promised
they should sleep on our side of the
hills! Now will I keep all that I have
sworn. Ms a pity for them, too, so
young, so unsuspecting; but two words
have made my heart iron—Emlen and
Norway,"
Alf well remembered one point where
h long straight path ended suddenly in '
a peak of rocks, jutting far into the open
air. The road was continued round so
sharp a re , entering, angle, that much
caution and nerve was needed, even by
one well aware of the danger, to wheel
rapidly and steadily around the face of
the abrupt precipice and avoid shooting
straight over the edge of the rock. He
had fixed upon this spot for the death
leap; in fact 'the . Swedes never could
have passed it in safety without having '
before been apprised of the peril, and
afterwards cautioned of its vicinity as
they approached its brink.
When he looked back, as he led the
line rapidly to the unseen and •dreadful
fate, he shuddered • to think on what a
death the brave and ligbt-hearted men
who followed him w,ere rushing. A
word from the nearest followers roused
him: he shouted to hasten their rapid
flight, and darted boldly on,•throwing !

hard upon his footsteps, all his nerve
was barely sufficient, after flinging his
blazed pine straight forward as a lure,
to check his own course, and bear him
round the point which severed life from
death.
