My dear fellow" he began, 'you are the
victim Of a little ruse My sister-in-law has
mortal fear of falling prey of some fortune
hunter; and when you, on your arrival mis-
took her for the governess she could not resist
the temptation to carry out the imposture.
In the bit of confab we had with her on
the veranda, she begged us not to undeceive
you, and we humored her whim She coaxed
the cousin who was staying with US to act the
part of heiress, and as she had taught the chill
dren during the absence of their French gov
erness they were not likely to betray her secret.
Blanche Marguerite Dupont, come here ard

Dear, dear Richard, know, know 1 can

Blanche is now my wife, and peeping over
my shoulder at my manuscript, she bids me
tell the world that she never repented the
stratagem that won my love.

ICELAND.-An interesting paper relating
to this far distant island Of the frozen seas,
was read at a recent meeting of the Geograph-
ical Society, in New York city. 1t was writ
ten by an Icelander, and is in substance as
follows:
Iceland was discovered in the year 963, and
since that time has had its archaeology and
its literature. Long before the birth of CO.
lumbus, its " Mortimer" discovered America.
At an early period it had trial by jury
The long winter nights made the people poeti-
cal. The Skalds, or wandering bards, travel
ing from farm-hou to farmhouse, were, and
are even to this day, feature Of the intellec-
tual life Of the Icelanders. On the shelves of
the public libraries of Copenhagen and Stock
holm were hundreds of printed volumes and
thousands of manuscripts, Illustrative of the
genius Of those primitive people, for poetry
and romance. They were conquered by the
Norwegians. They were conquered by the
Danes, and for a long time their scholars be-
longed rather to Denmark than the native
island-a little island 3I2 miles in length by
200 miles broad, with large portion uninhab-
liable, containing in 1885 ffty-six thousand
inhabitants and in the present year [l660l
sixIy-nine thousand FIVE hundred noticeable,
as we all know, for its natural phenomena, its
geysers, or hot springs. In the latter half of
the eighteenth century the Danish government
thought this little island worthy Of being rep
resented in the legislature at Copenhagen, and
allowed it to send two delegates
The language spoken in Iceland is the old
Scandinavian, closely akin to the Saxon, with
no admixture of Greek or Latin roots. 1t has,
sngularly enough, literature 900 years old.
There are four presses on the island, and four
newspapers About 60 volumes are published
in year, but most Of them are printed at
Copenhagen. There are colleges and acade-
mics of medicine there, and common schools
But most of the education is domestic in its
character. The fathers teach the children SO
efectually, that young Iceland girl or boy
OF eight years old cannot be found who does
not know how to read or write. A servant
girl was known to the writer Of the article
read TO the society, who could dictate one of
SCOTS novels from memory. Wandering
minstrels, like those of the old time in Scotland
and Germany, were still to be found trayersing
the country, and dropping in on families happy
to receive them, who gladly gave them nights
supper and lodging in exchange for their lay.
The Icelandio Church is Lutheran. There
are 1919 churches on the Island, with $50 cler-
gynen. Fer little time the Mormons dis
turbed the regular church-going members, but
their influence soon waned. The clergy waxed
in vigilance, and brought the feeble minded
back to the faith Of their fathers.

life and property to the cause. Some Of
their papers say they can maintain a force
of 100000 in the field. This is impossible.
Southerners are human, as well as Euro
peans and it is not in the nature of things
that they should outstrip all othersso great
~ in the art of war. Assertions may be
born Of enthusiasm, but practical results
must stand upon mathematical basis, and
mathematics dissipate these "baseless fabrics
of vision into unsubstantial nothing.
On our part, we can maintain an over
whelming advantage over the South and
this advantage is enough, of itself, to de-
eide the ultimate issue of the contest which
has been forced upon us. If the South can
raise her quota, we certainly can raise ours.
If we cannot raise money, the South GER
tainly cannot. We have no slaves, we have
the National Navy, we have the resources
ofcommerce, of manufactures, of agricul-
ture. The South has only one resource
agriculture. Therefore she is poor. She
is also divided against herself. The North
is united. The material position lies here
the South, in the last extremity, can put
and keep in the field no more than 100000
men. These, even, she cannot feed, nor
pay. The North, in the same extremity,
can put into the field 25O, 900 men. These
she can feed, clothe, and pay. Can any
man doubt the result? DAVIS and STE
PHENs both knew that they are striking
against the very walls of Heaven in at
tempting to coerce the North into seces-
sion. Their language, and the language of
their journals, betray their own conscious
ness Of their weakness. Let the people of
the South sit down, and in sober reason
count the cost of secession, and with their
returning judgment there would not be
found on this Continent safe place for
their deceptive leaders from their wrath.
