A Land of Romance.

All that part of the reading public
which is familiar with the fascinating
and veracious tales from the press by
Captain Mayne Reid, know that the
modern land of poety and romance is to
be found neither in the dreamy East nor
on the shores of the Mediterranean. 1t
lies, on the contrary, somewhere-it is
difficult without more accurate geo.
graphical knowledge than we pretend
to possess to say exactly where-west of
the Mississippi, and embraces at least the
States of California, Mexico, new and
old, Texas, and in fact a large part Of
the ancient seat of Aztec empire more
recently made romantic and interesting
by the wonderful imaginatiOns of the
historians, so called, of the Spanish
American conquest, and still more re-
Gently by the mighty invasion OF that
poetical, beauty loving, and romantic
race, the Anglo-Saxon. Here it is, in
deed, that we find the Llanos Estacados,
over which the well-mounted and
naughty caballero, with his boots and
spurs and sombrero, careers in chase OF
the dark.eyed senorita, fainting in the
arms of her farbetter mounted and
chivalrous American lover, who will, as
we feel, escape pursuit, no matter how
many caballeros come after him. What
chasms will he not leap! What torrents
will he not swim! What roaming bands
of painted savages, deadly foes to the
Americanos, will he not encounter and
elude
What even if they take him, and, strip
| ming him naked, bind him to convenient
stake, at the foot of which are piled flag

begins, and the savage yells and taunt

The readers heart need not fail him
the senorita will not fall into the hand

over his victim. The flames will no

A Letter from Martin Luther.
TReading PA. Times.I

Reading (Pa.) Iimes.I
Mr.. Frederick Lauer has in his keep
ing an original manuscript letter of the
great reformer. Martin Luther, dated
in the year 1912. The letter is written
on half sheet of paper, note size, and
is in a well.preserved condition. The
manuscl ipt is legible, and the signature,
"Martin Luther, d." is written in a
good, bold hand. There is no doubt as
to the authenticity oil this letter, written
in the dialect of the German language
current during the Sixteenth Century
The signature and chirography have
been CT impaired with other manuscripts
of DIR. Martin Luther still in existence,
and found to be an exact resemblance.
The letter is the property of John G..
LANCE of Richmond, Va, and was sent
to Mr.. Lauer by that gentleman in the
hope that purchaser might be found at
the Centennial. Mr.. LANCE same into
possession of the letter by accident. A
number of years ago he had sent to him
an old German book, which it was
represented had at one time been the
property of DR.. Martin Luther. The
book was printed some time during the
sixteenth century, and 1t bore the ap.
pearance of not having been orened tor
a couple of hundred years. Concealed
among the leaves of this book was found
this letter, which is now 30 highly
priced. The letter is a brief disserta
ton on the 10Sth Psalm, and contains
thoughts similar to those found in the
"Hymn Of the Reiormer," and it is be-
lieved that the inditing of this lettel
first led to that famous hymn. Th'
letter contains expressions which nov
sound exceedingly curious in the presen
refined condition of the German Language
The writing is neat and concise, although
difficult to read, except to thorough
student of German, in consequence Q
authorizations and singular terms used
The age of the letter, three hundred ant
thirty.fo years, and its excellent stat
of preservation giveit great value, and
will no doubt ultimately find an cage
purchaser in some collector of curiositie
of this kind.
