A SENSITIVE DANE.
H .n . Christian Andersen's Struggle For
Recognition by Denmark.
Hans Ckrlitian Anderson was a3
loving und ilmple di B child and na
sensitive. Tile lir-a pari of his life
was tmbittorcd by the fact that 1 1 is
native country had failed to recog
nise him. "HOW Btrange," lie wrote,
"that all my hooks are living over
the world and lhat at home; 1 am so
little appreciated. There 1 am still
onlv n poor Bchoolboy, ilwavi in the
low i i form. I f 1 am nronged,
Denmark, it is th v shame. Still, let
mo forgive us 1 wish to he forgiven.''
He was not at the stHrt personal
ly popular among bis countrymen.
He was too fond of talking ubout
himself and the honors and compli
ments he had received. His out
spoken pleasure in his own pursuits
came from the most candid and in
genuous interest. Hut it irritated
people. Perhaps they wished to talk
about themselves.
Vet in time the great men of Co
penhagen came to take him at the
valuation given him all over Europe.
He was a privileged friend of the
king and was finally accepted as u
great national institution. His van
ity or what seemed to Iks vanity
hus hut skin deep, and his true mod
esty comes out in a reflection like
this, taken from one of his letters:
"When people hear that I am
Danish they speak about Thorwald
80ii, KhUnsehlager, (Krsted. and
when 1 say sadly, 'They are dead,'
the reply is, 'Andersen is still liv
ing.' 1 feel so small and almost be
lieve it is a vain dream. Can it be
that 1 am mentioned with these
three?"
Toward the close of Andersen'a
life public honors reached their cli
max. Odense, his native town, be
stowed its freedom upon him and
had an illumination when he camo
to receive it. His seventieth birth
day .was observed as a national. holi
day, Copenhagen was in festal
garb, WiO his statue was unveiled
there. That year he died.

"Just listen to reason, if you
please, Bill," said his wife coldly.
"Yotf'iive spoilt the shape of that

and as jfou'ro workin' coal ull day

"You don't sec the oiiit, Liza,"

Trip to Eastern Shore.
WtTAtlfON, Mn, , Dec' 2d - I
left my home in Cumborlaml, tic.
couipauiud by my little sou Italpli,
and broth ir Clarence, Dec. lHth
at l:8C a. m., over the B. & O. for
Washington, and arrived thereat
0:85, Having some time to spare
we took in some sights of that in
torostiug city. Later wo took
the fat line for Baltimore, and
made the rui. to that city in .'15
minutes. There we were met by
my father, Simon Deshong, sis
tor JeanneUe, und a friend of
theirs Mrs. Frenoy. Wo took
a street car for tho Freney home,
on Gillmore street. After a few
minutes ride we wore welcomed
at the Freney home by the re
mainder of the family, and found
everything in renriiness in this
lovely home to satisfy our wants.
After we had fully rested, wo
were all ushered into the dining
room, where Mrs. J'Youcy had
sufficiently loaded hei table to
satisfy the appetites of twice our
number, ol too many good things
to mentiou. After din:ie , sever
al of our happy company went
out to get a view of the decora
tions that had been propared in
various places for Christmas, re
turning late in the afternoon, and
took the boat "Susquehanna" to
cross tho bay to my father's
home. It being tho first trip for
myself and little son, we saw
many things to attract our atten
tion. The water was very smooth
when we started, but before we
got across it got a little rough,
but not enough to arouse any
fear.
After a ride on the bay of about
three hours, we reached the
wharf where we were met by my
brother Oscar, to tako us home
a distance of a little more than a
mile. If it had been over some
of those great old hills i.i Fulton,
wo would not have reached our
destination so soon, but the land
is so level you can go for miles
and miles.
T.ie roads are just, like a floor,
and are the width of three com
mon roads, and not a stone to be
found in them.
My dear old mother was await
ing our arrival with a good warm
suppor.
I rested till Sunday, then wo
drove to my uncle Thomas Starr's
and spent the di'y pleasantly.
Christmas we were all invited
to Wm. F. W.nks, a formor Ful
ton county man, whose hospitali
ty, of course, we were delighted
to accept. Christinas morning
bright and early, we all started
Mr. Wink's where we spent the
foronoon very pleasantly till 12
o'clock, whendinner wasannounc
ed. The dining room was beauti
fdlly decorated aud a heavy laden
table of roast turkey and so many
other good things that I will not
attempt to mention thum all. Aft
er doing ample justice to the din
ner wo spent a few hours in s ot
able chat, but soon the old clock
chimed out the late hour of the
day. and we all started for our
home hoping we would all meet
again on many more such merry
0. c isions. All the Pennsylvania
people iu this county (Kent) were
present including Mr. Wink's
family, mother and sister.Thomas
Starr and family, and Simon
Deshong and family.
