DANISH LEaENDs.-Ia these days of
tercentenary festivals, and above all in the
town of Esinore, it is great sho:k to
ones Shakspearianism to be told that
Hamlet, properly "Amlet," was not the
son of a king of Denmark, but of pirate
chief; that, as pagan, living centuries
before the Christian era, he did no more
than his duty 10 revenging bis fathers
death that he by no means fell in single
combat with Laertes, but lived to become
Governor of Jutland aud marry two wives,
one of whom was daughter of au English
king. The eliminating point Of this anti
quarian heresy is that there was no Ophe.
la. To have ones faith destroyed in oae
OF the sweetest characters that Shak-
speare ever drew is trial but there is
this consolation. Leaving behind this pic
turesque town Of Elsinore with its 5000
inhabitants, nothing remarkable is passed
on the road to Fredeusberg With the excep,
ton of the ruined castle Of Cure, to
which tradition elipgs remarkable for its
likeness in double aspect to those con.
nected with English history. In the 18th
century, Valdemar w., like our Henry
IL, concealed in this sequestered nook
from the jealousy Of his Queen a Danish
Fair Rosamond, known as Toveil, "Little
Love" But whereas English history has
been content to infer that Queen Eleanor,
after the discovery, proved to her liege
lord a Sufficiently retributive thorn in the
flesh, Danish story goes much further and
duoms Valdemar, to the fate of "Herne
the Hunter" for having blasphemously
declared that he should not desire Heaven
if Cure were left to him.

Big Stories.

We remember hearing o story soma
years ago, which, having never seen in
print, we venture to relate.
A company of great story tellers had
assembled one evening, in the bar-room Of
tavern out west, and some astonishing
narratives-real "whappers" been
given for sure facts. At length, when
the imaginations of the narrators of these
tales began 70 fail them, some zone called
on young man who sat grayoly in cor
uer, for bis story.
"Oh," said he, candidly, 81 haven.
anything to say. l might tell a story.
but nothing to compare with what has
just been told"
However, the company insisted, ani
the young man began
"The adventure ain about 10 relate IS
somewhat singular, bu, it will not surprise
you after what you have heard was
once skating on a very smooth and extern
sive field of ice, and having excellent
skates on, | almost few; indeed, So great
was my velocity, that did not see an air
hole, which lay in my way, but dropped
into it, like a bar of lead, and had my
head shaved clean off my shoulders by
the sharp ice."
This assertion made great laugh, and
some one asked the young man how many
times his head would bear shaving of
"Hear me OUT" be said, gravely.--'
"You remember, I said l was going very
swiftly, and that the day was exceedingly
cold. My body. then, with its acquired
velocity went under the ice as fast as my
head moved over it, and coming to ano.h-
er air hole, up popped my body aud down
dropped my head, aud froze in the exact
position I would have desired, So, you
see, I had my head cut off and put on
again, without the least exertion on thy
part" q
"Lucky"
"But this is not the end of my adven.
ture On my return home, sat by the
fire relating my wonderful escape, when,
my neck beginning to thaw, I undertook
to blow my nose, and threw my head
chuck-behind the back log!'
"And, what then 2"
"Nothing," replied the NARRATOR grave
ly, feeling his neck, "ouly my head / he. q
lieve, hasn't stuck quite as well since ~
1t is needless to say that this was ths
last big story told that night il the coan.

What to Do when Lost in the Desert.

Leave me alone in an island ever 80
fruitful and Astounding in game, and l
should perish Immediately; for l could
never climb for cocoa-nuts, or catch IN
animal in pitfall, or build roof over
my own head. As for lights, I might
rub all the trees away-hard and soft-iu
the Tropics before l got spark out of
them ; and as for getting water, unless by
laying fat on my stomach, aud drinking it
out of river, should have no idea of
how to set about it-where to dig, or even
ho,o to dig, and much less how to make
spade to dig soith, in the first place. Yet
nothing in literature preases me better
than accounts of how people do get on
under circumstances of this (happily for
me) exceptional kind. Mr.. Francis Gal
ton, who wrote the Art Of Trauel, (f a
genuine enthusiasm on my part may ex-
cuse vulgar phrase,) is the author "tor
my money all over the world" or nearly
SO; gentleman who, if placed sans.
cu'otte in forest of prickIy pears, or set
adrlft IN the Cattegat in a Washington,
would by no means despair of his coadi-
ton. Neither he nor any of the Robin
son Crusoe sort of people that | have in
my mind, would be at loss what to do,
no matter in how perilous-or as / call it,
who have on y theatrical experience of
such matters-in how sensational DO
sition they might find themselves.
Let US suppose, for instance, that one of
them, touring for his pleasure 10 Central
Africa "a thing be is very likely to do
hnds that he has ridden too far frun his
party, and is left behiud Ia the DESERT
The sense of dcsola,ion even Mr.. Cation
allows to be in such case '.amost over
whelming.' For my part, I own, after
gailoplng hither and thither tiltmy horse
was weary, l should probably see nothing
tor 1t but TO dig convenient hole in the
sand, and Thereby save my friends at home
all sepulchrai expenses. But my gentle.
man who makes apple scoops out Of knuckle
bones is not so easily dispirited He does
nothing in haste or thoug h,lessy, and yet
everything that offers the best chance of
success.
In the irst place, according to previous
advice, he has in his pocket small piece
of looking glass, and this he glitters to-
wards the direction which he supp,ses his
party has taken. He always used to be
great as a schoolboy in annoying the
townsfoik generally, and especially the
masters wife, as she sat-a supposed spy
upon our actions-at the second floor win
dow, by dazzling them with hand-m;r-
ror, ami therefore he knows how to manage
this matter, which requires some practice
to know how to do well. 1t is quite as
tonishiug at how great distauoe-as far,
perhaps, as ten miles-its flashes will catch
the sharp eye of Bushman who has
learned to know what it is. If the sun is
down, this amusement cannot be iudulged
in, aud other methods of regaiuing his
comrades will not be left untried.
