A TRUE SToRY.-Some time ago a
child ill with hip disease was brought
into certain asylum in New York-a
little girl of five years old, who, from
fright or weakness, cried bitterly on
her admission. Another girl, a little
Swede of about nine, heard her. SIS
she crying because she has left her
mother ?" she asked the matron. No.
She has no mother; she is an orphan. "
"Her friends then, may be?" "She has
no friends. She has nobody in the
world to take care of her, unless she
finds one here" Jennie, the little
Swede, stood for a minute or two
soberly looking at the stranger. She
was not a pretty child, nor attractive
in any way, being homely, diseased and
il.tempered. ~ think will take care
of her" said Jennie, gravely. "I'll be
a friend to her." and she went over to
the stranger, then and there, and began
to soothe and humor her. The matron,
thinking it only passing childish out
burst, paid no attention to it, even
when she found that Jennie had secured
a seat at table next to the child, and
had managed to have her placed in the
bed next her own in the dormitory.
But when the story was told to us, a
year afterwards, the little girl had
never failed once In her self-imposed
trust. As far as was practicable she
took the place of mother or elder
sister to the child who, still lame and
suffering, needed a constant attention
and care which the matron and nurses
could not give. She cut and prepared
her food at meals, humOred her peevish
fancies during the day, and at night
was in the habit of lying down half
dressed, to be ready to spring up at a
moments warning, and she passed many
a night, it was discovered, holding the
chlld's head In her arms or soothing
her. On any holiday or when visitors
came, Jenny's first anxiety was to make
her little charge presentable, Just as a
fond mother would do and when the
children were once given an excursion,
or au afternoons romp in the grounds,
Jenny had an excuse to account for her
not going, and actually, although her
tears choked her, she being a child,
would have stayed, patient and cheer
ful, beside the lame child, VINO could
not go, if her deception had not been
found out. The singular part of the
story was, too, that the child was not a
lovable nor grateful one but peevish,
jealous and tyrannical towards her poor
little nurse, who apologized for and
made the best OF her to others, after
the habit of mothers. There were many
other children In the asylum prettler
ana mOTe winning but jenny was true
to the one whose only recommendation
was that "she nad no friends"

The DocToR's VIsIT.-Rachel was a
good little girl, but apt to be needless.
Her father had been lost at sea when a
great steamship, filed with passengers.
Was struck by sailing-ship, and went
down. But Rachel had darling mother
and sister Susan.
Rachel had been told that she must
never go with wet feet. Sne forgot
this, like other good rules; and one day
she was SO i'll that her mother was
obliged to send for the doctor.
The doctor came, and took the little
girls hands in his, felt of her pulse,
and asked what she had been doing.
She said she had been out In the wet
snow without her oyershoes.
THAT was a great mistake, my dear, "
said the doctor. 'There is no more
certain way of taking cold than to go
with wet feet. Viii you remember
this?"
Rachel promised that she would re-
member. But good resolutions will not
cure cold. The little girl was soon
confined to her bed by fever and for
several days she was IN great danger.
At last she was well enough to play
with her doll, and to read her volumes
of The Nursery. By and by, on sunny
days, she could take little walk on the
piazza; and soon she could take ride.
One bright spring day Rachel was
quite well,-well enough to come down
stairs and sit at the dinner-table. Her
mother and sister Susan were very glad
indeed to see her. Rachel climbed into
her mothers lap, kissed her, and said
she would never walk with damp, wet
shoes again, if she could help it.
''That's right, my dear, and never sit
on the damp ground, even in summer,
said mamma 81 have known many
little girls to take bad colds in this
way"
81 will try and think, said Rachel.
"That is what is wanted, thought,
said mamma. "We must learn to thiRk
if We would do right. Dora burnside.

REJXAvIK, Aug. S.-The notes of our trip to the
Geysers must be deferred until have reported the
National Icelaadic Festival which took place at
Thngvalla yesterday; for it has been decided that
we leave for Scotland to morrow morning, and the
weather forebodes sea too rough for much writing
The Journey inland was made with that Of the loyal
party not from choice or invitation, but from ne
cessity. The large and the small caravan, having
the same startingponts and destinations each day,
could not well avoid each other; but we were care
full not to infringe on any reserved space for the
royal camp and to pasture our ponies at such q dis
tance to prevent ENHANCEMENT.
Reaching Thingvala towards o'clock on Thurs
day evening the wild valley had undergone a CON-
plete Transformation since left it three days be-
fore. The steep green slopes along the foot of the
Almanuagja were dotted with little tents; four
large pavilions, with several smaller ones had been
erected along the bank of the river; on the Mount
of the Law flagstaff was planted, from which
hOated the ancient banner of Iceland, white falcon
in a blue field while ON the opposite side, towards
the Axar cataract, the mound where the judges
were proved of old bore o decorated tribune
and the standards of the nations represent
ed at the Festival. On the right foated the coors
of Norway, England, and the United States; on the
left those of Denmark, Sweden, and the German
Empire. The standard of France was placed beside
ours the next morning, when baron Letourneur and
another French officer arrived. Groups Of people
were scattered all over the valley the rocky.
grass.topped nights; flags foated in all directions.
the smoke OF camp-res arose, shouts greetings and
songs resounded through the air,-in short in place
of the former gloomy silence and solitude Of the
scene all was life and joy.
Riding close upon the heels Of the King and his
escort We saw the groups Of people gather suddenly

merit:
AMERICA TO ICELAND.
We come, the children Of thy vinland,
The youngest Of the worlds high peers,
land Of steel, and song and saga,
To greet thy glorious thousand years!
Across that sea the son Of Erik
Dared with his venturous dragons PROV;
From shores where Thorfnn set thy banner,
Their latest children seek thee now.
Hail. motherland OF skalds and heroes,
BY love Of freedom hither hurled,
Fire IN their hearts as in thy mountains,
And strength like thine to shake the world
When war and ravage wrecked the nations,
The bird of song made thee her home;
The ancient gods. the ancient glory,
Still dwelt within thy shores OF foam.
Here, as fount may keep Its virtue
Where all the rivers turbd run,
The manly growth Of deed and daring
Was thine beneath scanter
Set far apart, neglected. eIiied.
Thy children wrote their Of pride,
With power that brings, in this thy triumph,
The oonquering nations TO thy side.
What though thy native harps be silent,
The chord they struck shall ours prolOng
We claim thee kindred call thee mother,
Land of saga, steel and song
Our friend Magn1sson Immediately took this
greeting ashore where it was translated into Ice

given Shakespeare's Lear and Macbeth admirably 10

Now, when all other greetings had apparently
come to an end, Magndsson took the stand, and in
an eloquent speech referred to the presence of the
American party. This drew all eyes upon us, and
was rather embarrassing although inevitable; but
the interest and goodwill of the people were clearly
evident. When the address was finished, the Mayor
Of ReikiaYik, Sveinbj6rnsop, announced that the

which the Christian Is constantly ap-

The last clause Of this Is incorrect. Nc

OF Christian perfection in this life. In
