A Fnmine i'm Sweden.

An appeal is made in the London Times
on behalf Of the starving population of
Norland, wide stretch Of country in the
northeast Of Sweden. A communication
says
Here at the best OF times, thrifty and
industrious people gain scanty snbsis
tence from an unwilling soii, and II is q
rarely fine summer that enables them to
lay by anything against their dreary Arctic
winter. For seven years past the crops in
that country have been extremely poor.
Last winter was one of the longest and
severest ever known even in the north of
Europe, and before the ftful summer sun
and rain had time to ripen them an early
frost blighted and entirely ruined the corn
crops on which the inhabitants were de
pending for subsistence during the coming
winter. The population is estimated at
10000 to 100000, and already the most
pitiable reports come of their condition
how bread is not TO be had for money and
people are living on roots and the barks of
trees. The weather. classes in Sweden
have already done much to help their un-
fortunate neighbors, but Sweden is not a
wealthy country, and much more is re.
quired than she can do.

From dreamy, sweet Girl life,

To find herself Wife;

Along the path Of Life
And as she clasped her small white hands
Upon his arms so strong,
How often, like Summer sigh,
Or n sweet, pleading song,
She whispers, with parting kiss,
Believed one, don't stay long"
It's almost always on her lip,
Her gentlest parting words,
Sweet as the fragrance from rose-lcaves,
When by soft zephyrs stirred,
And lingering in the memory
Like songs of Summer birds.
And in his heart they nestle warm,
When other scenes amid
He stays not till she weary grows,
And her fond eyes are hid
In tears which lie in bitterness
Beneath each waiting lid.
And, OH how many hearts are kept
BY that love-uttering song.
There's scarcely one who on Life's waves
Is swiftly borne along,
But what has heard from some dear lips
These sweet words, +" Don't stay long"
