The Sweden summer is very short, and
the year has hardly any spring or au-
tumn. But the summer days are very
long, and the sun, after setting, sinks
only few degrees under the horizon,
filling the whole space during the night
with a mystical luminousness which
makes even the pig-stye romantic. AT
midnight you can walk in the garden
and read letter from your mother. And
how singular the letter is Every word
in it has new meaning, and so has
every object around you. The streets,
the houses, the old church, the river, the
Mills, all look 80 strange, and yet they
all look as if you had never before seen
their true shape, and never before under
stood their true meaning. The houses
do not press the ground with their
weight; they float in the air like pic
lures, The river does not push its
waves forth through melancholy fall
from one pebble to another, it only
turns its hands, rapidly and gently,
to catch the images of the stars
The trees do not suck and heave and
toll for a bit Of existence; no, they
breathe, they live, they whisper about

bodies was by no means grotesque no.

and most beautiful illusions the human
Imagination ever gave birth to, 1t was
a genuine child of the Swedish summer
night. The clattering and the hammer
ing, and all the noises of the town, are
asleep. The splash of the water falling
down the cataract in the birch wood is
transformed into a sweet melody, whose
subdued notes swing in the air, now
sounding near to your ear and now
echoing far off. But this, as all individ-
ual sounds, the chirping of the insects
in the tree, the clap of your steps on the
rocky path the cracking of the paper in
your hand, are soon hushed by the deep
stiffness which from the terrace with the
lonely lake and the somber pine forests
draws nearer and nearer till it covers
all the world with silence. Only one
individual sound can be distinguished,
one single drip Of water falling into a sill
yer basin, one single note struck on the
deepest string of ar instrument. 1t is
the echo of the first cataract, hundred
miles distant, far off among the noun.

A PIeasant PIace for Parker.

Our young friend Parker went round
Smiths. After conversing with them
for while, MISS Susan excused herself
a few moments, and went up stairs.
Presently Parker thought he heard her
coming, aud, slipping behind the door,
he suggested that the other miss should
tell Miss Susan that he had gone But
it wasn't Miss Susan, it was old Mr..
Smith in his slippers. AS he entered he
looked around and said to his daughter
"Ah, hal SO Parker's gone, has he2

and spend the evening. Mary Jane, |
hope you didn't ask him to come again.
Then Parker didn't know whether to
stay or bolt, while Mary Jane looked as
it she would like to drop into the cellar.
But Parker finally walked out, rushed
to the entry, seized his hat, shot down
the steps and went home meditating
upon the emptiness of human happiness
and the uncertainty Of the Smiths. He
has not called since.
