THE BEAUTIFUL SINGER.
GUKTAVU8 ADOM'HUB, Bwedon'g
herolo king, wrts fond of tntiRlo. Tlio
nwept voice of on?, enpeclally from the
Hps of childhood, often moved lilm to
tears.
Once upon a llmeGuntavus Adolphua,
nffer long and severe fighting, had con
quered a Btrongly fortified town, In
which were citizens who had been horn
within the limits of the Swedish rule,
hut had since found new homes. And
all these people he condemned to death.
Thry were marched out from the town
at nlghlfHll, to be held in camp until the
following morning, when they were to
be shot for treason. Several of his offi
cers interceded with the king for the
lives of those poor people.
liut Gustavua felt that lie had already
granted enough. First In the ruddy
heat of his passion he had consigned
the whole tribe to death ; but since then
he had greatly modified the sentence,
condemning to be shot only those of the
former subjects of Sweden who had been
taken with arms in their hands; and
from this no power of persuasion or argu
ment could move him. All the talk of
his old chaplain about these people hav
ing only Joined their fellows In protect
ing the homes to their wives and chil
dren, moved him not an atom. " They
are traitors I" he said, " and as traitors
they shall die!"
At a late hour It was past midnight
Oustavus Adolphua threw on his cloak
and drew his slouched hat down over
his eyes, and, stall in hand, wandered
forth In the darkness. 'Without think
ing whither he went, he slihvly walked
on, answering the sentinels as they hall,
ed him, until at length his steps were
arrested by n strain of music.
" Who is that V" he asked of a sentinel
who he chanced to meet a moment later.
" It Is one of the prisoners, sire. The
wife and children of one of their chief
men have had permission to spend the
night with the husband and father."
The king nodded his thanks for his
Information, and moved on. Slowly he
approached the tent from which the
music issued, aud as he drew near he
heard the sound of weeping and wailing;
for the song had ceased. As he Btopped,
close by the rear of the tent, lie heard a
deep, manly voice:
" Hush ! Hush ! Weep not. God will
provide 1" the voice said.
The king looked in through the open
seam in the cloth and saw a gray-haired
man, with an imposing presence a
grand face and head, and a clear, flushing
eye, surrounded by his wife aud chlldreu,
who clung to hint with passionate ten
derness. " Hush I" he said. " Let us not make
these precious moments darker than they
need to be. It Is but the fortune of war,
my loved ones. Come, my Hermloue
sing to me, once more, our dear old song
of the Fatherlaud I For, though Gusta-
vus will take my life, yet I love the land
that gave me birth. God bless dear Swe
den,nowaud evermore 1 Now, Hermi
one sing! Come, let thy voice give
my poor heart cheer If it may be."
Presently thereafter a beautiful girl of
fifteen or sixteen summers, threw back
the silken hood from her golden curls,
aud began to sing. Her song was the
Swede's oldest and most cherished piece
of music the words full of love and
devotion love of borne and of country,
and the melody was peculiarly sweet
and touching. And never had the king
heard it sung so grandly. The words
fell upon his ears with a new meaning,
and the music touched his spirit with a
strangely awakening power. As the
charming melody swelled to grander and
grander tones, and the voice of the singer
deepened and strengthened, the listener
felt his heart bush with awe. And
finally, when the last rich cadence died
away, In mellow, melting echoes upon
the upper air, he pressed his bands over
his eyes, and burst into tears.
After a time Gustavus lifted his head
and looking once more through the
aperture in the wall of the tent he saw
the family upon their knee, and heard
the voice of the old man raised In pray,
er. He listened for a few seconds, and
then turned and strode away towards
his quarters, where he found two of his
attendants bitting up waiting for him.
To oue of them he said :
" Colonel, I wish you to go to the pri.
Boners' quarters, and in the large tent
nearest to the river It Is at the extreme
north-western.corner of the camp you
will find the family of a prisoner named
Hoven ; and of that fumily is a girl nam
ed Hermione. Bring her to me. Assure
her that no harm shall befall her."
And wfhen the messengers had gone
the king turned to his table, and having
found the necessary materials he went
to work at writing. He wrote rapidly
and heavily, like one moved by ponder
ous ideas ; and he had just finished his
work when the colonel appeared with
the gentle songstress in company.
"Fear not, my child," the klug Bald,
the maiden standing trembling before
him, " I have sent for you because I
wish to repay you for a great good you
unconsciously did me this night. Do
you call to mind that you sang the dear
old song of the Vasas the hymn of the
fatherland V"
" Yes, your nmjesty, I sang It lor my
father, who la to die ou the morrow.
Though no longer lu Sweden, he dearly
loves the memory of the land that gave
him birth."
" Well, I chanced to hear you sing;
and you shall ere long know how your
song all'ected me. Here I Take this pa
per, and go with it lo the ofllcer com
mandlng the camp of the prisoners.
Colonel Forsby will go with you. And
my child, the next time you sing that
song, think of flustavus Adolphua Vas
a3, and bear witness that his lienrt was
not all hard, nor cold."
The girl looked up into the monarch's
face, as he held forth the paper and
when she saw the genial, kindly look
that beamed upon her, she obeyed the
impulse of the moment, aud caught his
hand and kissed it.
And when she went away she bore
wliu her the royal order for the free par
don mid Instant release of all the prison
ers. The old General to whom the or
der had been directed for promulgation
and execution was one of those who had
earnestly pleaded hi behalf of the con
demned ; and we can readily imagine
the Joy with which ho received it. He
fairly caught the beautiful messengers in
ills arms, and kissed her upon the fore
headend blessed her; and be went
with her to the tent where her father
was held, and allowed her to publish
the Joyful tidings.
And with the dawn of day the prison
ers to the number of two hundred
were mustered Into line, many of them
believing their hour had come, to re
ceive tho Intelligence of pardon and
freedom !
What transpired beyond that can be
Imagined full as well as we can tell it.
We only add, that Gustavus Adolpus,
by that act of mercy, secured the friend
ship which was to be of Incalculable val
ue to him in coming time.
And oue other thing : In less than a
year from that time Colonel Ulrio Fors
by, of the King's staff', gained for a
wife the beautiful singer whose sweet
notes had melted the heart of Gustavus
Adolpus, and glveu life and liberty and
joy to sull'ering men.
Stale Smoke.
The Klmira " Uctzclfe " tells a little
story concerning an innocent young
lady who had for a friend one Sam Har
rison. The young lady aud some other
girls were talking ot their likes and dis
likes. One said she liked the smell of
tobacco smoke so much ; another said
the same, and the whole crowd echoed
the sentiment. Then Sam's girl said;
" Yes, the smell of fresh smoke Is de
lightful, but I don't like the taste of it
when it's stale."
i' Taste of It 1" said another, "how
taste of it V You don't smoke, I hope."
" No," was the answer, " of course I
don't Bmoke, but you know Sam does
all the time, aud it gets into his mous
tache and and and" by this time the
girls had recovered and looked at each
other, and the speaker began to blush
and the pressure was only relieved by
some one asking if the church fair was
an assured success.

" Same thing happened tome down on

About Boci and Bee-Treea, by a Hunter of
Experience.
It will soon be time for those who love
to make a business of hunting bee-trees
to start out on their expeditions. Once
this kind of business was quite lucrative.
Bee-trees could bo found after a little
work almost anywhere In the woods.
They are usually well filled, and If a
man could manage to discover one tree a
week he would consider himself earning
good wages. Now and then, while fol
lowing a troll or bee-line, two trees have
been traced out, but this Is very rare. A
gentleman last night, an old bee-hunter,
told a story how he once took some
honey out in the woods, warmed It on
stones, and then left It there as a sort of
a feeding place for the bees, nttd a day or
two afterward noted the direction in
which they went after loading them
selves, and by following them some dis
tance found there were two lines run
ning parallel to each other. In about
three hours he found one tree, marked
it, and then again set out bis honey. In
a short time he took the other line for
the other tree.
He hunted and hunted for a long lime
without success. Finally reaching a
clifT of rocks, while trying to pick his
way down, he accidentally flipped and
slid to Hie bottom. Somewhat stunned
he lay a few minutes, and looking up to
see how far he had come, lo ! and be
hold his experienced eye saw bees going
in and out of a hole in a tree within a
few feet of him. From those two trees
he took eighty or ninety pounds of hon
ey, with a considerable quantity of bees
wax, and considered it one of the most
successful hunts he had ever had. Be-
sides honey, there is used in bee-hunting
a strong flavor of young clover, as it Is
called, of which the bees, seeming
ly, are fonder than honey itself.
The proper way to trace bees Is to
bent a stone warm, drop honey on it,
have the comb near by, and the heated
honey will Immediately draw the bees,
who will then find the comb and pro
ceed to load themselves with it and re
turn to their homes. It requires a
sharp eye to follow the line, but the
term a bee line is well-known to be a
line straight as an arrow, and all the
bee hunter has to do is to get the course
of the bee and follow it straight until he
has reached the vicinity of the tree, as
near as he can judge, after which he
will try bia honey again, and so tell
whether he has not yet reached or gone
by. Some hunters select a good lively
bee, throw flour over him' aud then by
noting the time It requires for that bee to
u n loud himself and return, get a good
idea of the distance. There are a number
old bee hunters living up town who can
recite bee-tree yarns by the week.
What the Baby's Name was to be.
The wife of Jacob Squires, a resident
of a distant " outport," where school
masters were scarce, applied to the par
son for the baptism of ner baby the tenth
it turned out to be, for our fishermen,
as a rule, are blessed with large or, as
they expressively put it, " heavy" fam
ilies. The good lady explained to the
parson that her " skipper" had gone to
the Labrador and had left express or
ders that on the arrival of No. 10, if a
girl, she was to be christened by the
name of " Hyena." The parson was
startled and shocked at the Idea of label
ing an infant with such a dreadful name
and told the mother that she must
have made a mistake, and that it
would never do to give the name of a
beast of prey to a Christian child. Mrs.
Squires persisted in saying that there
was no mistake and that she dare not
diverge from the order of her skipper,
After much persuasion he induced her
to defer the baptism till the skipper's
return. On his arrival he called on the
parson and said that his "old woman"
had made a mistake and that he had
directed the baby to be christened, not
"Hyena" but "Joseph Hyena." The
parson pondered a moment and then the
mystery cleared up. "Oh I I see it;
Josephine you want to natpe your
child." "That's it exactly, parson,"
said Jacob, " but you see we couldn't
rightly get our tongues around it when
we saw it in print. We can call her
Josey, for short, bless her little heart, so
Joseph-Hinney be it."
Curious Historical Facts.
During the first fifteen months of the
Revolutionary war the people of the
American colonies were mainly divided
into two parties, the line of difference
being upon the terms on which the con
nection with England should continue.
The Whigs wished to remain colonists
on condition that their rights should be
guaranteed to them ; the Tories were
willing to so remain without such guar
antee. The policy of permanent separa
tion was an after-thought, notwithstand
ing the high-sounding words of the Dec
laration of Independence. Similarly,
the secession ordinances of the Southern
States in 1S00-61 were not intended as
finalities, but as threats meant to enforce
compromises for the security of the insti
tution of slavery. As hostilities proceed
ed the party of entire and perpetual dis
union became dominant ; but there was
throughout tbe struggle a considerable
faction who looked forward to ao ulti
mate restoration of the Union upon the
basis of the constitution.
SUNDAY REAEINl
Benefits of Deprivation.
fTF Hi: only hud a pine knot!" said
X a father of a not-over hook-loving
son. Here Is a well-filled book-case, ta
ble piled with papers, a bright light and
and an easy chair. How much does ho
use them V He needs a pine knotand a
log cabin to make a man of him. If he
had to walk two miles in the mud to
hunt a definition in the dictionary, or
had access to one paper and that borrow-
ed, he might have a fondness for reading."
Bather a sad view of the case, but
much truth In it.
The young lady who has to walk a
mile to practice on a hired piano, may
appreciate her privilege of learning at
all, while she who has everything ready
to hand will very likely say,
" Must I take lessons ' I Just hate to
practice!"
And so deprivation Is more desirable
than superfluity. The things we can
not get Is what we most covet. Things
far-fetched, dearly bought or hardly
earned are prized most. How easily Is
the child surfeited with toys I If .he
makes them or has but few, how he uses
them; but give him several at once or
in close succession, and before night his
discontent will express Itself in a whln
ItJKi " Please hunt me something pretty I"
How true it Is that not what we pes.
Bess, but what we use and enjoy, bene
tits and makes us happy !
When we have done without an arti
cle until we have earned it, then we will
appreciate It. So children, if they have
to help themselves to an education, will
improve their time and talents; and
those who Btart themselves In life and
make a fortune, are they who know
how to keep it. Perhaps there is no
greater calamity that can befall a young
man, than to have every want anticipa
ted nnd gratified from infancy to man
hood. How can one amount to anything
with no necessity for developing his
powers V Struggles strengthen the soul
and body. We sometimes waste pity
on poor families that have little visible
means of support, while we have to con
fess that their children are fat, healthy
and happy. It is the very absence of
luxury, sweefs and surfeiting that gives
them the advantage, and who would
not envy the keen relish with which
they partake of their frugal fare V
Scarcity is often better than fcatiety,
and the moderately poor enjoy their lit
tle, more than tbe rich their abundance.
Who is more miserable than he who has
nothing to wish for, whose every desire
is gratified 'i
It is the planning, and working, and
struggling, and hoping that gives zest to
life. One must have appetite, desire.
Even In the Christian life, they that
hunger and thirst for righteousness
shall be filled. How intensely do we
enjoy Church privileges when we have
long been deprived of them 1 True, de
privation may result in disinclination
and perchance, a habit of indifference,
but when the heart is right, like David,
it " longeth, yea, even fainteth for the
courts of the Lord."
Doubtless there are degrees of delight
in heaven. May not those be most hap.
py there, whose earthly lot has been one
of destitution and deprivation, among
uncongenial and distasteful surround
ings; baptized with waters of sorrow?
These are they which came out of great
tribulation. They shall hunger no more,
and God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes.
Female Society.
What is it that makes all those mei
who associate habitually with women,
superior to others who do not ? What
makes that woman who is accustomed
to, and at ease, in the society of men, su
perior to her sex in general ? Solely
because they are in the habit of free,
graceful, continued conversations, with,
the other sex. Women in this way lose
their frivolity, their faculties awaken,
their delicacies and peculiarities unfold
. , t . I i A . . , . ! ! 1 . . .1
spirit of intellectual rivalry. And the
men lose their pedantic, rude, declama
tory, or sullen manner. The coin of the
understanding and the heart changes
continually. Their asperities are rubbed
off, their better materials polished and
brightened and their richness, like gold,,
is wrought into finer workmanship by
the fingers of women than it ever could1
be by those of men. The iron and steeS
of their characters are hidden like the
character and armor of a giant, by studa
and knots of gold and precious stones,
when they are not wanted in actual
warfare.
t2T Some only leave their sins when,
their sins leave them, but a reformation
of life avails little unless there be a re
novation of heart.
tyit is the man who determine. the
dlguity of the occupation, not the occu
pation which measures the diguity of tbe
man.
