A Danish Legend.

Drying went TO distant island tool
handsome girl TO wife. They live,
together seven years, and she preseDte,
him with seven children. Then dealt
came intoth country and carried Off tb,
wife, so fresh and So rosy. Drying wen
to distant island, married another girl
and brought her home. But this ont
wns unEird and hard-heartct. Wher
she entered her husbands house, the
seven children went they wept and
were anxious. She repulsed them with
her foot. She gave them neither beer
nor bread, and told them, You shall
sleep on straw with nothing To cover
you" She extineuished the great
torches and said, "You shall remain in
darkness"
The children wept very late into the
night. Their mother heard them, where
she lay under the earth. "Oh |" she
cried, "that could 90 and see my lit
tie children - She prayed and prayed
till she obtained permission 20 90 and
see her little children, on condition that
at cock-crow she would leave them. So
the poor mother raised herself on her
burial ground. She trayersed the vii
lage, and the dogs howled as they heard
her pass. She reached the door Of her
former dwelling her eldest daughter
was standing there.
"What are you doing here my childi"
she asked. How are your brothers
and sisters 7"
You are a fine, grand lady, but you
are not my darling mother. My moth
ers checks were white md red, whilst
you are as pale as death"
How can be white and rcd, altcr
reposng so long in my coffin ~
She went into the chamber her lit
tie children were there with tears on
their checks. She took one and comb
ed il, smoothed the hair Of another, and
caressed third and fourth. She took
the fifth in her arms and opened her boz
som to it. Then calling her eldest
daughter, $50 nnd tell Drying come
here" she said. When Drying came
she spoke to him angriIy. al LEFT you
beer and bread, and my children are hun
cry and thirsty. left You blue cush-
ions aud coverlids, and my children
sleep on naked straw. LEFT you tall
fiambeBux, sno my children are in dark
ness. Ifyou often make me thus re-
turn by night, misfortune will come of
IT," Al this the mother in-law excla i'm
ed, " Hence forward, will be kind TO
your children" And from that day,
whenever the husband and wife head the
dogs growl, they gave their children
beer and bread and when they heard
them howl and bark, they went and hid
themselves. lest they should see the dead
woman come back again.

Died Yesterday.

Every day is written this little sen.
tcnce--" died yesterday" so and SO,
Every day flower is plucked from d
sunny home, a breach is made in some
happy circle--a jewel stolen from somo
treasury Of love. Each day from tho
summer field Of life, some harvester dis
appears; yea, every hour some sentinel
falls from his post, and is thrown from
the rnmpnrts of time into the surging wat
ers of eternity. Even as we write, tho
funeral of one who died yesterday, winds
like shadow along the street.
Died yesterdy.,' Who died Per-
haps il was n gentle babe--onc whose
laugh was as the gush of a summer rill,
lettering through bower Of roses, whose
life was perpetual litany---a May-timo
crowned with the passion flowers tina;
never fade. Or, mayhap, il was youth,
hopeful and generous, whose path was
hemmed with flowers, with not
serpent lurking underneath one whose
soul painted for communion with tho
great and good, and reached forth In an
earnest struggle for the guerdon in the
distance. But that heart is still now; he
"died yesterday"
=" Died yesterday" a young girl, puro
as the orange flowers that clasped her
forehead, was stricken down as she stood
at the altar; and from the dim aisle Of,
the temple she was born to the garden
OF the slumberers." A crowded man girt
with the holy pomp of victory, and at
days close setting under his own vino
and tg tree, fell TO dust even as the an
them trembled on his lip and he, too,
was laid" where the rude forefathcrs OF
the hamlet sleep" An ancient patriarch,
bowed with age and cares even as look.
ing out upon the distant hills for the
coming OF the angel host, sank into a
dreamlcss slumber, and on his door-post
is written died yesterday"
Died yesterday" Daily are men,
women and children passing away. and
hourly in some graveyard the soil is
flung upon the dead. As often in the
morn we find some ajwer that blushed
sweetly in the sunset has withered up
forever, 40 daily when we rise from the
biyouac, TO stand again at our post, We
miss some brother soldier, whose cherry
cry in the sieges and struggles of the
past has been fire from our hearts.
= Each day some pearl drops from the
Ieweled thread Of ffriendship--some Tyre
10 which we have been wont TO listen,
has been hushed forever. But wise lie
Is who mourns not the pearl nor tho
music lost for life with him shall pass
iway, gently as AN Eastern shadow from
The bills, and death be triumph and
rain.

Too Long By Half.

The following is from the New York
Observer, a religious paper of extended
circulation and influence
Last Sabbath day we attended church
where the service previous 10 the SER
mon was so protroctcd that the preacher
announced his text at FIVE minutes after
twelve at noon, being one hour and 30
minutes from the beginning Of the ser
vice. As this was the ordinary Sab.
bath service, Il was TO our weak flesh,
however willing the spirit might be, too
long by half. The worship ard the ser.
vice would both have been more profita.
BILE aud pleasant had the service been
more brief.
On Sabbath evening we attended a
religious anniversary, and the secretary
finished presenting his report IS minucs
after the meeting began. crowding the
speakers into the balance of the time,
late in the evening with wcaried eudi
ence before them.
On a week day evening following we
attended sacred concert TO which we
were kindly invited, to hear a celebrated
oratorio. The concert began at s
O'Clock we sat until twenty minutes Of
10, and the grand entertainment OF the
evening had not yet been reached. We
lcn being wearicd, but we presume it
was given in the course of the night.
The next day we attended q funeral
in this city. Tho exercise were i'm
prcssivc, but the address, which would
have been excellent for twenty or thirty
minutes, was stretched out to fily.iive
minutes, greatly to the wcariness OF the
people, aud far beyond their cdifcation.
There is reason in all things. As we
ought not to allow our good to be evil
spoken of, so we ought TO be careful not
to overdo our good and make an evil
OF It. We have great respect for the
man who said IL he never did great
thing, he was cure he never did long
one.
