A BOHEMIAN LEGEND.

Once upoa time there was maiden
named Swanhilds, who was the only
child of proud father, and he was dead.
Her mother had died at her birth, and
she lived, therefore, alone in her castle.
To this lady many suitors came, all of
whom she scornfully and repeatedly re-
jected. Her delight was in manly sports;
she was perpetuaIly laundering through
the forest on great Barbary courser,
spear in hand, in search of game. New
ertheless she was very beautiful and
her many suitors driven to distraction, at
last met together and agreed to summon
her to yield herself to one of them, or
else submit to be besieged by them all !;
for they would combine and march
against her castle. She sent back their
message with scornful words, and went
to bed.
In the night little ball of light came
up out of her bedroom floor, and jumped
about with slight cracking noise that
awakened and worried her.
"Be quie;l'' she cried out at it
ssWhat FOOLS trick is this ? 1 want to go
to Sleep" The little ball instantly van
isned; but directly afterwards, the boards
of the floor were broken through, and a
table rose into the room covered with
wine and dainty food. Then Swanhilda
felt alarmed. But the fear gave way to
curiosity when she saw sitting round the
table the figures of all her suitors, eating
and drinking merrily. One lady was
sitting with them who had nothing to
eat, and that was the image Of herself.
Little servant took each of the young
knights as many plates of food as he had
received reflections at her hands; and,
whenever a knight was served in this
way, there was laid before the image of
herself an empty sack, so that as many
sacks (the Oberlansitzers say baskets, }
as she had given she received back for
her supper. 1 believe that an old Gus

THE GRooMsMAN ToHIs MISTRESS
FY J. W. PARSONS

Every wedding says the proverb,
Makes another, soon or late
Never yet was any marriage
Entered in the book Of Fate,
But the names were also written
OF the patient pair that wait
blessings then upon the morning
When my friend, with fondest look,
By the solemn rites permission,
To himself his mistres took,
And the Destinies recorded
Other two within their book
While the priest fuIfIld his office,
-.. Still the ground the lovers eyed,
And the parents and the kinsmen
Aimed their glances at the bride,
But the grOomsmen eyed the virgins
Who were waiting at their side.
Three there were that stood beside her.
-.- One was dark and one was fair,
But nor fair nor dark the other,
Save her Arab eyes and hair;
Neither dark nor fair 1 call her,
Yet she was the fairest there.
While her groomsman-shall own i'll
Yes, to thee, and only thee
Gazed upon this dark-eyed maiden
Who was the fairest of the three,
Thus he thought: ''HoW blest the bridal
Where the bride were such as she y
Then mused upon the adage,
TiIlny wisdom was perpleKed,
And wondered, as the churchman
Dwell upon his holy text,
Which Of all who heard his lesson
Should require the service next
Whose Will be the next occasion
For the flowers, the feast, the winef
Thine perchance, my dearest lady,
Or, who knows?-it may be mine:
What IL Z were-forgive the fancy
What if t were-both mine and thine

II is glorious sight to see two old people who
have wenthered the storms and basked in the
sunshine of life together, go hand in hand lovingly
and truthfully down the gentle declivity of time,
with no sngers, nor jealousies, nor hatreds gar
nered up against each other, and looking with
hopes and JOY to the everlasting youth Of heaven,
where they too shall be one forever. That is
tue marriage-for it is the marriage of spirit.
Their love is woven into a woof Of gold. that
neither time nor eternity can sever.--INe Eclec-

A WESTERN RIVER IN A BAD WAY.-The Van
Buren, Integencer of the Both ult., says:-"It
has been mathematically proved and practically
demonstrated that tho Arkansas river will no
more be fit for navigation. The banks have fall
len in to such an extent as to widen the bed of
the river immeasurably, requiring larger body
of water than usually comes down in ordinary RI
ses to furnish its thirsty bars and to fill up the
