THE WRATH OF ODIN.
ny HENRY W. LoNdFELioW.

The CHESTS were loud, the ale was strong,
King o iaf Toasted late and long
The hoary Scalds together sang
O,erhead the smoky rafters rang.
Dead rides Sir Morten of Fog elsang.
The door swung wide, with creak and din
A blast of cold mig ht-alr came In,
And on the thresho old shivering stood
An aged man, with CLOAK ana hooa.
Dead rides Sir Morten OF Fogelsang.
r,a King exclaimed, 40 graybeard pale,
Gane warm thee with this cup of ale"
the foaming draught the old man quaffed,
Tha noisy guests locked on and laughed.
Dead rides Sir Morten of Fogelssng.
Then spake the King: ssBe not afraid;
Sit here by me-" The guest obeyed,
And, seated at the table, told
Tales OF the sea, and Sagas old.
Dead rides Sir Morten of Fogelsang.
And ever, when the tale was DER,
The hlns demanded yet one more
Till Sigurd, the Bishop, smiling said,
"'Tis late, o King, and time for bed"
Dead rides SIR Morten Of Fogelsang.
The King retired; the stranger guest
Followed and entered with the rest
The lights were out, the pages gone,
But still the garrulous guest spake on
Dead rides Sir Morten OF Fogelsang.
As one who from a volume reads,
He spake of heroes and their deeds,
Oflands and cities he had seen,
And stormy CULTS that tossed between
Dead rides Sir Morten of Fogelsang
Then from his lips in music rolled
The Havamal of Odin old,
With sounds mysterious as the roar
OF pillows on the distant shore.
Dead rides Sir Morten of Fogelsang.
ssDo we not learn from runes and rhymes
Made by the Gods in elder times,
And do not still the great Scalds teach
That silence better Is than speech l''
Dead rides Sir Morten of Fogelsang,
Smiling at this, the King replied,
stThy lore is by thy tongue belied;
For never was 80 enthralled
Either by Saga man or Scald."
Dead riies Sir Morten of Fogelsang.
The Bishop said, "Late hours we keepI
Night wanes, o King tits time for sleep {"
Then slept the King, and when he woke,
The guest was gone, the morning broke.
Dead rides cir Morten of Fogelsang.
They found the doors securely barred,
They found the watchdog in the yard,
There was no footprint in the grass,
And none had seen the stranger pass.
Dead rides Sir Morten of Fogelsang.
King Olaf crossed himself and said,
81 know that Odin the Great is dead;
Sure is the triumph of our Faith,
The white-haired stranger was his wrath"
Dead rides Sir Morten OF Fogelsang.

The National Debt.

On the Sth of May the national debt
was 1892 .3Sl, 1856, of which $500, 9O0,-
956 was in currency, leaving 1892, 47O,-
$50 as actual debt at interest. The H.
crease of the debt does not appear to BIZ
TO SO large an extent by the sale of bonds
as would be thought, as will be seen by
the subjoined comparison:
May. 1852. May, 1863
Bonded debt. .s244,sls, S4s $3.50, 1858
This increase is wholly by the sale OF
five twenties. OF the other portions of
the interest bearing debt, the increase Is
in one year certificates of indebtedness,
and in the demand loan, viz:
One year certificates, $47 ,199 900 $3.50 231 1925
Demand loan. 5o,77S,56 100, 900 900
Total .............s e7 ,e77.567 $3.50, PSI lie
The currency issues have more than
doubled, as will be seer by the subjoined
statement:
May, 1852. May, 1893
Currency. $l45, $4,000 $as9, soo,e56
Here we have the three forms of in
debtedness: loan without interest, tenn
porsry loan, and the regular funded debt,
thus:

most notable features of Mr.. Chase's poll.
cy. By means of it he manages to keep
down the average rate of interest The
great bulk in the increase in our currency
has occurred since July, 1862. 1t was
$40, $50, 900. and it was in May, 1868, no
less than 1899, e0o,e56. The increase ever
since January, 1868, is quite large. The
amount was then S244,366,25l, since
which time sl55, 534,7O5 have been ad-

GREAT DEPRECIATION IN "PRoPERTY."

Col. D'UTAssY.-This convicted forger
and perHrer, who was feted AID petted as q
Hungarian refugee nobleman, turns out
to have been, in his own country, a Jew
clothes pedlar and horse jockey, on small
scale, whose swindling career began as
early as '4s, in the Hungarian revolution.
He seems then to have been a cross be-
tween \ camp-follower and a horse thief.
So that the populations, thefts and for
geries, of which he has recently been con-
victed, came to him naturally. He is but
a type of great many pretenders, whom
this war has brought to the surface.
