An interesting paper was recently
read in New York, relative to the dis
covery of the American continent in
the tenth century:
The speaker began by explaining
that the Mortimer were an Asiatic
race that settled in Denmark, overran
Norway and Sweden, and afterWard,
in the year 875, cOlOnized Iceland.
Near the close of the tenth century
the Teelanders, led by Eric the Red,
pushed westward and eOlOnized Green
land, where the colony existed until
near the beginning of the fifteenth
century, and where a line of no less
than seventeen bishops presided over
the church which was established.
| The last bishop was Andreas, who, in
the cathedral church of GOrdO, on the
west coast of Greenland, celebrated
the marriage ola couple from whom
the learned MINI MaQnusseun took
his dissent. While the Icelanders
were in Greenland, they made expi-
ditiOns far into the North. In 1924
Perry found a monument that was
| erected by them in latitude seventy
three degrees, in the year 1135. In
1866 another expedition reached the
latitude ofseventy-six degrees, which
was as far as Perry went. in 1927. After
showing that the Icelandic narratives
posses no faults that are not found in
modern histories, Ma DeCOsta pro-
ceeded to speak of the voyages Of the
Mortimer to New England, which
they called Vineland, on account of
the quantity of vines they found
growing wild. The existence Of land
south of Vinland was first made
known by one Brine, who, in 8S4,
sailing from Iceland to Greenland, was
driven southwark upon the Amer
lean coast. This encouraged Left, son
of Eric the Red, to 90 in search of the
new land. He sailed in the year 1000,
and passed down the American coast
as far as the latitude Of Rhode Island,
when in the region of Mount Hope
Bay he spent the winter, returning to
Greenland in the spring. In 1902 his
brother ThOrvald made the same
vOyagey but lost his life in a conflict
with the natives. The most distin-
guished explorer was Karlsefne, who
sailed to Vinland in 10Y with three
ships and 160 men. He spent three
years in the vicinity of Mount Hope In
Rhode Island. One interesting con-
firnatiOn of the truth of the Icelandic
narratives which give an account Of.
the voyages is found in connection
with that island which the Icelanders
mention as then existing in the ocean
east of Cape Cod This Island is also
referred to in GOsnold's voyage; and
its non-appearance now has led some
to disCredit GOsncldis account. But
recent explorations by Professor Ag-
aSsiz and others have demonstrated
its existence by geological evidence.
The result Of these explorations was
illustrated by a map drawn for the
purpose, which makes it clear that
the Mortimer visited the coast Of
Massachusetts, and that they have
described its appearance at that early
time in their narratives, which bear
every mark of truth.

have been there, for in q few minutes
they seemed years to me then-We
saw him coming down the ladder with
something in his arms. The burnt
body Ofmy child, perhaps, ] thought,
but as he came closer / saw that it was
my own laughing, living darling,
with her blue eyes open and her little
arms about his neck.
The roof fell in the next moment,
but my treasure Was safe and that was
all cared for.
What shall do or say to thank
yOu,p I said, as I grasped his hand.
"Pm ruined man and can only give
you my blessing; but let me know
your name, at least.R
"Have you fOrCOttem me2 don't
you remember me ?n he said, Is he
bent over me. 'fIoOk again.
I did, and I saw a pair Of bright
gray eyes, q face I knew, and some
thing glittering on his breast. And
the scene at the corner Of the dirty
little street on a wet December night
came back to me, and saw my pO-
Hceman once more.
.'It is you" I said, ''and you have
saved my child from such an awful
death.n
ttAnd what did you save me and
mine from?n he said, with tears in
his eyes. Starvation, ruin, utter
degradation. I should have been q
felOn, and my dear ones paupers this
night, but for you. / have not paid
the debt; I never can but when I
heard that it was your child who lay
at the top Of that burning building, I
prayed that I might save 1t, and /
know God heard me.n
And then he told me what had
brought him to the neighbOFhoOd
on that night Ofall others in the year.
I had lost all, for was not insured,
but he was prosperous and stood by
me like a brother; nursed me through
my illness, and loaned me money for
a new start in life. So that in a little
while things grew bright again, and
here I am, as comfortable as most
people.
"And the policeman 2'' I asked.
His hair is as white as my own
now" said the old man. "And MY
daughter, the little one he saved that
night, is married to his son.

Remains 70 make Olr own time glad.

And every land q Palestine.

The still small voice in natures hush.
Yon maple wood the burning bush.
FOR still the new transcends the old,
In signs and tokens manifold:
slaves rise up men; the Olive waves,
With roots deep set In battle graves.
Through the harsh noises Of the day.
A low, sweet prelude finds it way:
Through clouds ofdOubt and creeds Of fear
A light Is breaking, calm and clear.
Henceforth my heart shall sigh no more
For Olden time and holier shore:
StOds love and blessing, then and there.
