Hans Andersen's Lore History.


1t was on his journey, through Zea-
land, Funen and Jutland, that he met
young girl with whom he fell deeply in
love, but who, unfortunately, at the
time wasengagedto another man, ,andso,
as Andersen never met another woman
whom he could love as he loved this
girl, he remained unmarried all his life.
Many years later, . peasant girl, who
had heard about him as a great and
worid-renowned poet, whom all men
honofed-and who, I f'believe, had also
readsome of his stories-took 1t into
her head that he was the one man she
wanted to marry. So she started out
TOR Copenhagen, where Andersen was
then living, went to his house, and told
him her errand. You can imagine how
astonishede he must have been at being
told BY q young, handsome girl that she
wished to marry him. "I should be so
very good,to you," said she, a's And al
ways take good care of you. ,s.. .s.sBut,
my dear girl, don't wish to be mar
ried,' answered he; and she departed
as suddenly as she. had come st.
Nicholas for December.

81 Col. Stevens, an officer with much ex--
perience of savage life, was employed
on the plains, as Government engineer,
to build number of stone houses for
the Indian chiefs. These tenements
are designed as bats to catch their
tribes. Insix months all his tenements
were gone, sold to the white men for a
few kegs Of whisky. One big chief,
Long Antelope, kept his house, and
Stevens rode to see this chief, as being
a man of higher hope than others Of his
race. He found Long Antelope smok-
ing in d tent pitched near the window
of his house. ssWhy living in a tent,
Long antelope, when you have a good
house?'' Long Antelope smiled.
" !" House good for pony, no good for
warrior-ugh." " Stevens went in, and
found Long Antelope's pony stalled in
the, dining-room. "a house, says
Stevens, is too much for full blood
Indians brain. The only notion you
can get into such a fellow S head is that
to settle down means to wrap his shoul-
ders in warm blanket instead OF. in a
skin, to loaf about the agency instead of
going out to hunt, and to spend his time
In smoking and drinking instead Of tax
ing scalps."

3 The ls Snltan Of Turkey. ns.l

Tsaw the Sultan last week as he re-
turned from the ceremony Of kissing
the Prophets mantle in the Treasury.
In appearance hes has become sc0nsid-
erably older within the last two wears.
He has good reason to look careworn If
he realizes what is happening. Herode
in carriage drawn by four line horses,
and the authorities had, a. il the Gus
tom, covereda@up the pitfalls of the
pavement along his. route with 8 inches
OF sand, well watered and rolled. His
Majesty enjoyed 3 comfortable ride over
well made roads, but, after he. had
passed, the sand was all swept up and
moved In carts, for use next time; and
the pitfalls returned. This incident
makes one surmise if the Sultan,s Min
listers have not likewise some device for
concealing from him greater. abuses
than the neglected streets Of CONSTANT
nople. - Cossstansinopls Letter to TIE Nesc
