The Romance of Denmark.

A writer in the London Athene,nm thus
describes the romantic phases of Denmark:
''It is region lying close upon the bor-
ders of a sea whose white breakers roll
northward till they turn the ice near the
pole; fiat, low-lying shore, behind which
are landscapes green and quiet. The waves
moan, the clouds gather, Odin rides by on
the wings of the wind, and flash of light
ming shows Hermod flying from Aalhal
with message to the neither. spirits. The
elements roar and the old deities live again
as in Mythology's morning. Then the tenn
pest vanishes, and softer spirit steals upon
the scene. The sea lies calm and still; mur-
muring in low voice; the shore and land
scape wear the sunshine that pours upon
them in golden shower. You hear sweet
voice singing; it is yOnder mermarden,
combing out her yellow hair, smiling fresh
ly, and Turing love-sick youths to their de-
struction. The fisher mending his line be-
side the hut heeds her not; for he has just
caught fish who is an enchanted prince,
and who has promised unbounded riches
for being reconciled to the sea. Close by
the rocks little maiden wanders dreami-
ly; let her beware for hard by turks a
beautiful norman, ready to lure her
with soft speeches to his home under
the water. All is peaceful, sunny, still;
so sweet, you would never dream the
spirits of the earth, water and air were so
wicked. Bnt hark roar as OF thunder
breaks from yonder great cavern, wherein
lies dragon huge and terrible, whose food
is human flesh, and whose lair is strewn
with human bones. Fortunately, there is
approaching bold knight, clad in glittering
armor, who will speedily put an end to the
pranks of the scaly monster. Leave the
sea shore and walk inland every flower,
every leaf is peopled with tiny people, such
ashaunted the immediate wood near Athens,
where love-sick Ttanla lisped languidly
in the ass's ears of Bully Bottom. Climb
this little eminence, and you will ere long
find yourself among new faces. Who are
these that come dancing down so wildly,
with robes that flash white in the wind,
and feet that scarcely brush the dew from
the tips of the flowers They are the elf
girls, or maids of the mountain-terrible in
the eyes of little children, and fascinating
to the wanderer who halts too lazily upon
his way. And what, you ask, is this won
drous region in which you have thus been
wanderingp 1t is the land of Daniso ro-
nance, and is just what Ochlenschlager,
Andersen and the rest have made it."

THE ELECTIONS.

The Election returns from the states of
Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana and Mary
land, 50 far as received give Union major
tiles, Indiana, that state from which so
little was hoped for by the Union party,
gives 10000 Union majority. The Up-
ion majority in Ohio is 5000, a slight
falling off from the vote of last year, the
reason. probably, is that no such man as
valandigham was on the Democratic tick
ct. The home vote in Pennsylvania is
about equal on both sides. but the SOL
diers' vote will probably give large I'm
ion majority. Official returns will have
to decide the vote in Maryland.

that the number of arms and the necessa-

in the matter, and provide for the enrol
