smutty; her silvery curls disheveled; her corban
eyes as red as cranberries, and swelled with weeping
but for all this she looked more beautiful than
ever. By her side stood a fagon of acidulated butter
milk, and q platter of fapjacksL emo, no." she
family muttered, pushing the food away. Sc let them
not seek to prolong my misery by offering me tempt
ing viands. 1 will never eat moreover"
Just then a low, doleful sound was borne to her
ear. She started. "Wast it thou, Rudolphus %
she cried. "Ah, no, I viii not fatter myself with
vain hopes. Twas but the calf bleating to its mother.
And she sank down exhausted upon the straw again,
to court death.
Again was the sound repeated. She sprang to her
feet, and peeped out through a hole in the logs 1t
was indeed her Overlooking up with wistful eyes
to her dungeon window, while many tears streaked
down his cheeks.
80, save me, Rudolphus, she screeched.
"I would smash down those massive pine doors"
he answered, 50 with one blow of my stalwart fist,
and snatch thee from thy cruel captors, but L am
afraid thy fathers darned oxen will hook me- And
he sank upon the ground in the impotence of his
rage and despair, and hiding his face in the burdock
leaves, he howled aloud. Weep not, my Rudolf
plus" she said 81 will come to thee" So saying
the heroic girl descended to the stable, and while the
gnats and mosquitoes thundered about her fair head,
tearing up with her tiny hands an oaken plank from
the floor, she soon emerged in the cow-yard. In
an instant the lovers were clasped in each others
arms. The donkey of Rudolphus stood near, and
folding his lovely burden to his breast, the youth
sprang into the saddle and murmuring in her ear
sweet tales of love in a foreign cline, they galloped
away like a streak of creased lightning.

the ice.
The first whaIc that we uscd the Bomb Lance on was killed
IN the following manner The boat went alongside of the whale
him with a gig iron the Bomb was heard to explode, and the
whale did not blow after the Bomb exploded. The above-men-
toned whale was in the ice, and II is our opinion that we should
not have got that whale and many others that we did get, If it
them to the attention of those fitting out whale ships.
