Just M anxious to gain the other, he turned his

Greeley is not in his present position by mere
accident, or unexdectedly to himself, or without
his own concurrent corporation and seeking.
He has been planning for the result he has now

steps-beon changing his own position, so as to

Gratis He knew that the mere handful of men
that nominated him at Cincinnati would amount
to nothing unless the Democracy should come

to achieve this result, and last week he gained
it at Baltimore"

more good common sense than some ersons

dogHhip. for he will never Teliuquish his place in

When sam gets his bundle of letters, or pa

as not to get slObbered and with his caudal APP
pendage hUised in the air and wagging as ouly
dogs know how to waB, he lays the bundle at
the feet OF his master, and receives from him the
fond caresses which all dogs like 30 well. Be-
sides attending to the Post-Otlioe, sam" is gen
orally on band at the News Store, when the dai-

fidelity not always found amongst news-boys.
Aside from SANG literary taste, he shows
his usefulness in delivering store packages and
attending market, and woe be to the luckless
wight, or uncouth canine, daring to interfere
with him with his market basket suspended
from his huge jaws. The store is ''Sams" do

A LEGEND OF THE RHINE.-But the fow-
er-girl's legend apout Count Roland and the
beautiful Hildegunde?
Here. more than nine hundred years ago.
q young knight, seeking adventure along
the Rhine, saw, tell in love with and became
betrothed to the fair Hildegunde, most
beautiful of Rhineland damsels, daughter,
Of Herbert, Lord of the Seven Mountains.
A day was appointed for the nuptials, and
the brides mai6ens selected. but Charlie
magne suddenly summoned Roland to attend
him during one OF his wars. and the mar
riage was postponed till the counts return.
Meanwhile news came of his death, and
Hildegunde, too credulous, took the veil and
became nun at the convent on the island of
Nonnenw0rth. But Roland was not dead
In time he came back, SCARED and famous,
to cla,m his bride. She was, of course IN
accessible; SO he built Rolandseck, the cas-
tie on the rock which overlOoks the convent,
and paid his devOtions to watching Hide
gunde when she walked about the gardens.
Whatever their motivey for seclusion, the
patience of the lover mlst have persuaded
the nuns that the 1ckle So of man was no
sufficient ground for ah aoning the world.
The sex was not 80 bad Ter all. What has
made this convent of N nenworth famous
but that love 1t was Quilt to neutraIizep
When the bell t0lled Tor Hidegunde's fun
eral, Roland sunk into silence, and was
found dead, his glazed eyes still turned to-
ward tho convent. The romance of the story
has lasted longer that the castle. which Is
now but the fragment OF RUIN.
