y correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, writing of the Rhine,
thus tells tower-gir's legend about
Count Roland and the beautiful Hill
degunde
Here, more than nine hundred
years ago, u young knight seeking
adventure along the Rhine, saw, fell
in love with and became betrOthed to
the fair Hildegunde, most beautiful of
Rhireland damsels, daughter of Heri-
bert, Lold of the Seven Mountains.
A day was appointed for the nuptials,
and the brideSmaidens selected. but
Charlemagne suddenly summoned Ro-
land to attend him during the great
crusade, and the marriage was post
poned TIL the Counts return. Mean
wnlle news came of his death, and
Hl.degunde, too credulous, took the
veil, and became a nun at the convent
on the island Of Homework. But
Roland was not dead; in time he
came hack, scared and famous, eager
to claim his bride. She was, of course,
inaccessible; so he built Rolanseok,
the castle on the rock which overlooks
the convent, and paid his devotions to
Watching Hildegunde, when she walk
Ell about the gardens. Whatever their
motives for seclusion, the patience of
the love- must have pursuatled the
nuns that the tickleness of man was
no sufficient ground for abandoning
the world. The sex was not so bad
after all. What has made this CON.
vent of Nonnenworth famous but
that love it was built to neutralize ?
When the hell tOlled for Hildegunde's
funeral, Roland sunk into silence, and
was found dead, his glazed eyes still
turned toward the convent. The ro-
nance of the story has lasted longer
than the castle, which IS now hut the
fragment Of a ruin.

A lady writer on the subject of com-
mon sense discourses as follows:
" Ii is the kind of talk which sis
ters are very apt TO hear from broth
ers, and daughters from fathers and
mothers, when fathers and mothers
do their duty by them, which sets tie
world before them as it is, and not as
ii is printed by flatterers. Those
women who prefer the society of gen.
tlemen and who have the faculty Of
bewitching their senses, never are in
the way of hearing from this cold
mattcr-Of-tact region; for them it really
does not exist. Every phrase that
meets their ear is polished and soften
ed, guarded and delicately turned,
till there is not a particle of homely
truth left in it. They pass their time
in world of Illusions they demand
these illusions of all who approach
them, rs the sole condition Of peace
and favor, All gentlemen, 10y a sort
of instinct, recognize the woman who
lives by llattery, and give her her LOr-
ton of meat in due season; and thus
SOIlle lNul NOIuCl ule HOnCleSSly
buried, as suicides used to he in Scot
land, under mountain of rubbish, in
which each passer-by adds one stone.
1t is only by some extraordinary pow
er of circumstances that a man can he
found to invade the sovereignty Of q
pretty woman with any disagreeable
things 0r, as Junius says, to in-
struct the throne In the language of
| truth. ~

WE HOPE,
by WILL Al. CARLETON.

WIN the sunlight, with the moonlight, with
n the starlight sweet and golden,
Come to us a thousand memories that are ,ru,
and sweet and oldon;
ana we enter IN the chamber of our hearts Sc
And with blooming hopes VIC cover all the ioy,
that care hath blighted
ANA encouraging and rejoicing, we go forth
upon our way.
With the midnight. with the storm clonJ with
M, the darkness iercely scowing,
WIN the rattling of the rain drOps. md thc
IN, tempest dreary bowling,
lhro our weary hearts, in darkness. we 20
~, halting, stumbling, cropping,
Nhile despair is hard upon US, and cen covers
up our hoping;
And in sadness and in silence for CLEAN of
llghtwc pray.
Then we ycarn and call for comfort; but no
comfort comes unto us.
ana we wrap ourselves in sadness, and des-
pair goes thrilling through us:
anu the darkness gathers round us, with its
horrors half unspoken,
And we ,prny again for succor, that the droary
spell be broken
With the light of something shining, be it only
one rny.
Then within our hearts blossom from the
,, droary mold sspringing,
The birds Of hope make us music with their
m sweet and cheerful singing;
lhen, upon the great clouds gazing, we dis
ccrn their silver lining,
Until through the veil of darkness bursts the
sunbenms' glorious shining,
And our longing eyes Ore greeted with the
bright and perfect day.
