Music OF NATURE IN NORWAY. - Still as
every thing is to the eye, some times Tor hundred
miles together, along these deep valleys, there
is rarely silence The ear is kept awake by thou
sands Of Voices In the summer there are cataracts
eaping from ledge to ledge of the rocks, and there
is the beating Of the kids that brouse there, and the
flap Of the great eagles wings as it dashes abroad
from its eyrie and the cries of whole clouds OF
birds which inhabt the isles and all these sounds
are mingled and multiplied by the strong echoes
until they become din as loud as that of city
Even at night, when the focks in the fold, and
the birds at roost and the echoes themselves seem
to be asleep, there is occasionally a sweet music
heard, too soft for the listening to catch
by day. Every breath Of summer wind that steals
through the pine forests, wakes this music it
goes. The stiff, spiny leaves of the fir and pine
vbrate with the breeze, like the strings of musl,
cal instrument; that every breath of the night
wind in Norwegian forest, wakens a myriad Ol
tiny harps, and the gentle and mournful music may
be heard in gushes, the whole night through. Thi,
music Of course ceases, when each tree becomes
laden with snow; but yet there is a sound in tn,
midst Of the longest winter night. There is tht
rumble Of some avalanche, after a drifting storm,
mass of snow, too heavy to keep its place, slide
and tumbes from the mountain peak. There j
also, now and then, loud crack of the ice in til
nearest glacier; and, many declare, there is
cracking to be heard by those who listen, whe
the northern lights shooting and blazing acros
the sky. Nor is this all. Wherever there is
nook between the rocks on the shore, where ma
may build house, and clear field or two where
ever there is platform beside the cataract, wher
the sawyer may plant his mill and make path 70
it to join some road, there is human habitation
and the sounds that belong to it. Thence in win
ter nights, come music and laughter, and the trea
of dancers, and the hum OF many voices The Nor
