A Legend OfNOrWay.

Near the village OF Sand. in Norway, lived
an old woman who was constantly rowing
about in the F'iord in search of her husband,
who had been drowned. She rowed her
boat around the same circle, never deserting
the spot, but whistling and chanting by turns
her face turned in one direction that she might
watch the surface Of the water. One morn
ing the poor fisherman plunged into the elc-
ment that had been his sole sustaining friend
from youth to bathc, and before scarce fifteen
minutes had elapsed, surrounded by shoal
of mackerei, and in sight of her who had
made home pleasant, was devoured by these
ravenous fish. When he raised his arm out
of the water to show the dreadful fate that
had threatened him, and to arouse the alarm
OF his unconscious wife, u hundred macker-
el hung like plnmmets from the flesh. The
fisherman sank, and was never seen or heard
Of any more. From that morning until to-
day, his widow, having lost her reason, ever
rows her husbands boat about the spot where
he pcrished, in full persuasion that he has
gone to seek eruken net, and in little
while will emerge a., 7in: an. so she prays
the crew Of every vessel sailing by to stay
and see the truth OF what she relates 49, ". 4.

herself, rather than to take trouble to
teach another, were all so many impedi-
mcuts But Ellie and her father were
both in earnest, and it was not long be-
fore the mothers face began to loose its
look of weariness, ana her anguid frame
to come up to an erect bearing. She
could find time for the old pleasure in
books now aud then, for healthy walk
in the street, and call on some valued
friend.
And was Efie the worse for this change?
Did the burden she was sharing with her
mother depress her shoulders and take
the lightness from her step? Not So
The languidness engendered by idIencss,
which had begun to show i'self disap
peared in few weeks; the color came
warmer into her cheeks, her eyes gained
in brightness. She was growing. in
fact, more beautiful, for Il mind cheer
fully conscious of dnty was moulding
every lineament of her coun.enance into
a new expression.
Did selt-improvement stop? Oh, no
From one to two hours We're given to
close practice every day. Her mind be-
come more vigorous in tone, instead of
encrvated by idleness, chose a better or
der of reading than had been INDUCED
before, and she was growing toward a
thoughtful, cultivated, intelligent wo-
manhood. She also found time, amid
her home duties, for an hour twice a
week with german teacher, and she be-
gan also TO cultivate 4 taste for drawing.
Now that she was employed the time she
found at her disposal, how cheerful and
companonable she grew! She did not
seem like the Effe Thornton of a month
before. In fact, the sphere of the whole
household was changed. As an idler,
Etfie Thornton had been to the rest, and
the weight of that burden had been suf
fcient to depress, through WEAKNESS, the
spirits of all. But now that she was
standing up, self-abstained, bnt a shar-
er in the burden of each. all hearts came
back to Il lighter measure, beating ryth-
mctically and in conscious enjoyment.

Idle Hands.
BY r. S. ARTHUR.

Mr.. Thornton came home at his usual
midday hour. and as he went by the
parlor door he saw his daughter, a Young
lady of nineteen, lOunging Un the sofa
with "A bool; in her hands The whirI
of his wifc's sewing machine struck on
his ear at the same moment Without
pausing at the paror, he kept on to I'll,

dustry.
Mrs. Thornton did not observe the
entrance of her husband She was bend
ing close down over her work, and the
noise of the machine was louder than his
footstcp on the floor. Mr., Thornton
stood looking at her for some moments
without speaking

man, letting her foot rest on the trcadlc
and Strengthening herself, this pain in
my side is almost beyond endurance

trouble in protecting canary birds from
the attacks of the insects that infect them
and the cages, | learned the following
simple method of destroying these pests.
which will no doubt be a useful piece Of
information to many of your readers
By placing every night over the cage u
white cloth, the insects gather upon it,
and in the morning may be seen by care
fully examining the cloth. They may
thus bo soon removed, ard then all that
is necessary is to thoroughly clean and
varnish the cage.

prevent the water from growing putrid /,
and destroy the growth of the weeds. -
Advantage would result if we watered
our streets with common salt dissolved in
the water. The dust would be better
