Pretty Fairy Tales.
LEGENDS OF THE KYPPHAUsEN.

There is famous mountain in Thurngia,
called the kypphausen, where, it is said, the
old Kaiser Frederic, the ancient Blrbarosa,
holds himself enchanted in a great cavern un-
derground, waiting for the signal, to rise out of
his sleep and go forth to the rescue of Palestine
from the Turks. Every rock and every narrow
dell has its legends connected with this super.
stition, some of which are very beautiful, and
when narrated in the simple, familiar and be-.
tieving style of the old fairy tales, go at once
to the hearts of children of all ages, great and
small. /" Children with gray hair love to read
these" said German to US the other day. as
we turned the pages of book of hearthstone
legends. So surely and fondly does genial old
age never outgrow the loves and pleasures of
its childhood. We do not envy the heart that
grows too old for fairy tales, Arabian Nights,
or even the little childish stories in which Han,
Anderson brings fairy land into the nursery
We should as soon forget to love the sweet
April flowers. We shall not soon forget see-
ing lady the other day, whose reading ranges
from the sweet songs of Stoddard and Hene to
the high philosophy Of Shakespeare and Goethe,
snatch up volume of Hans Anderson from the
counter Of our friend Urbno in Summer street,
and turn the pages with the eagerness of one
who has just met with an old friend. "Iaugh
if you WILL" she gaily exclaimed, Z" like An.
derson; he makes me a child again." Happy
the heart that never outgrows such childish.
ness.
These Legends of the Kypphausen have sup
piled the groundwork ofseveral popular stories.
The ,iar-famed legend of Rip Van Wrinkle is
merely an enlargement Of one of Them. We
translate il for the benefit of those who are
curious in such matters. II is called
The Goatherd.
Peter Claus, Goatherd of Sittendorf, who
fed his flock on the sides of the Kypphausen,
was accustomed 10 drive them at evening
into an enclosure formed by an old ruined wall,
for the purpose of counting them at leisure.
1t SO fell out, that after a time he noticed that
several of his best goats would suddenly disap-
pear after entering the enclosure, and after a
long absence return to the herd. Watching
narrowly, he became aware of a large rent in
the wall, through which they slipped, wheretO
he could not tell. But on following he dscov-
cred them in sort Of cavern greedily picking
up the grain which fell from the roof Claus
strained his eyes to the utmost, but could see
nothing for the darkness. AT last he heard the
nsghing and stamping of horses, from whose
cribs the grain must have fallen. ''sft ltFH
