THE ENCHANTED PIPE.

One night, as Count Oliife was riding through
the woods, he was astonished to see great light
among the trees, where there was no house.
Stopping his horse he saw the ground open in a
vacant space between two great oak trees Steps
OF stone led down to two great iron doors, through
which streamed the light that had first attracted
him. As he looked, woman and man, dressed
in white, came up the steps, holding baskets,
which they kept carefully covered, This man
and woman looked neither to the right nor left,
Neither did they seem to lift their feet but came
toward Count Oliffe with a slow gliding motion.
Count olife was terribly frightened, A cold
perspiration started out Of him, his knees bent
under him. and hardly knowing what he did, he
called out in loud voice, "Who are you and
what are you doing there?
Instantly the figures vanished so did the steps,
the opening, and the light, Count OlifEe rode
around and around the two great oaks; but the
ground showed no trace Of an opening. On the
next day he came again, but he saw nothing, He
walked about the oaks, but could see no place
where could be hidden steps or iron doors, The
BIRDS seeing him so busy, began to clipper and
twitter about him.
what do you want Count OliGe2o said sau
cy young blackbird,
Between these trees" answered Oliffe, "is a
flight Of steps leading down to iron doors"
"No, that is impossible" said the blackbird, II
have lived here ever since was out Of the egg,
and have never seen any step or doors"
"Yes, 1t is quite impossible" echoed all the
birds. 1.-THE oldest bee or bird in the forest has
never heard Of such a thing"
Olife went home sad and disContented. He
could think of nothing but what he had seen
and he used to walk every day, and ride every
night through the forest, hoping to see the won
derful sight again.
One night, riding home unsuccessful as usual,
he met an owl as late as himself.
"Hallo, comrade2" cried the owl, II meet you
every night. What are you hunting-mice or
frogs"
"Stone steps and iron DOORS" anHwered 0liffe,
laughing, "are my mice and frogs" And he told
the owl what he had seen.
The owl listened, looking very wise.
Eyes, know" said he, what you have seen in
the palace Of Time. In it are all the treasures Of
the earth. The man and woman who came out
are Day and Night, bringing gifts to men,"
"And how shall see 1t again" asked Count
oliFe. 81 am determined to find and enter it."
The owl shook his head.
ITO find 1t, Count Oliffe, you need only wait by
the great oak tree till the ground opens. Then
you must wait till Day and Night come forth, and
be careful to say nothing. After that, go down
the steps boldly but at the iron door there sits
giant with the keys. Beware that you listen to
nothing and do nothing before seizing the keys.
"If that is all, that is easy enough" answered
Oliffe.
away.
Count Oliffe rode to the two oaks, and dismount-
ed. There he waited many hours till the ground
opened, and the man and woman came forth as
before He watched them In silence, and went
boldly down the steps, At the foot Of the steps

The patent almanacs, mortised for the pub lisher's name, have begun raining down upon us for 1879 The designs are all new and very different from those of last year, the picture of the boy skating in his bare feet, with one It. tie brother on his back and six more on the sled being put on the January instead 'ofo the December page; then the picture of Christmas eve comes along about the end of December. instead of the middle of August, as was tie case last year. In fact the almanac is entirely rearranged, the trunks have been moved back and the hats put by the door, and the ceiling painted, so it looks just as good as new.
