n@- Hewitt, in his work on "Ancient
Armor" speaks of sword by the name Of
Memung, that was forged by Weland, and
used by him in trial of skill with anoth-
er celebrated weapo on-maker, named Anil
las "Weland, says Hewitt, first made
sword with which he cut thread of
wool lying on the water. But not content
with this, he re-forged the blade, which
then cut through the whole ball of float
ing wool Still being dissatisfied, he again
passed it through the FIRE, and at length
produced so keen weapon that it divided
whole bundle of wool floating in water.
Amilias, on his part, forged suit of ar
NOR so much to his own satisfaction, that.
sitting down on stool, be bade Weland
try his weapon upon him. Weland
obeyed, and there b, ing no apparent ef-
feet, asked Amilias if be felt any particu-
lar sensation. Aniias said he felt as
though cold water had passed through
his bowels. Weland then bade him shake
himself. On doing SO, the effect of the
blow was apparent-he fell dead in two

A New YoRK BEaGAR IN SPAIN.--A
romantic story of the New York beggal
girl is told by the Diario, of Madrid
'tSpain. We give it to our readers, leav.
them to judge of its probability for them.
selves:
A few years ago, according to the Dia-
rio, an English nobleman, grandee of the
first water, and an eccentrician ofthe wild
est school, honored New York with his
presence and his money. He lived strict
y incognlto, and his sole amusement con.
sisted in wandering through the streets
after nightfall, and in relieving those of
his fellow creatures who had experienced
the pains of poverty or the penalties of
dissipation. While upon one of these hui
name excursions he encountered young
female, who tenderly solicited aims. In
quiring her history he found her to be an
orphan of SURPRISING beauty, with an in
telligent mind of excellent education, re-
duced to abject destitution, from the death
of her father, shot in the Mexican war
The titled Howard, wearicd at his own
bachelor existance, and won by the re-
nance of the beggar girls history, tender
ed to her his heart, his coronct and his
hand. The sequel, according TO the Dia-
rio, is that, at a recent ball given by the
Russian Emperor, dutchess, radiant
with beauty, and sparkling with diamonds,
won the hearts of alb observers. That dis
tinguished lady was the cidevant mendi-
cant of the New York streets.

NOTES AND QUERIES BURLEsQuED.-
"Iom Noddy" asks "where is PALMYRA
and why is it always spoken of as being
ruined Z" Palmyra is in New York. It
was once very fourishing place, having
as many as seven or eight hundred inhab.
'tants; but the construction of the Middle
Sex Canal, under the auspices Of the cele
brated Sir Henry Clinton, led to its ruin
1t was while swimming across the canal
that Leander Snooks lost his life and the
name of HELPS Poin, was given to the
place by his indignant contemporaries.
Palmyra was SO called because there were
no palm trees within thousand miles OF
1t, IN strict accordance With American
usage.
The Isles of Crease" mentioned by
an English poet of the name of Byrum,
are Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard
once famous for their success in the whal.
ing business. The observation of the poet
that ''all except their sun was set" is a
delicate way ofreminding them that their
shining glories are vanished, and that they
are reduced 10 the sad necessity of con-
tenting themselves with mere daylight.
"The Merry Wives OF Windsor" were
the wives of Windsor, discoverer of the
famous soap. That he should have had
two wives at the same time shows that
Mormonism fourishcd in England in the
reign Of Queen Elizabeth and that they
were merry, shows that two women did
once upon time live in the same house
without 1uarreling. But then they have
made poor Windsor uncomfortable enough.
