and the excitement ceased. But these
things are said to have happened long
time ago. So, also, there is memory of
a man digging stone in quarry and
distinctly hearing the strokes of a pick
beneath him. When he wheeled his
barrow the subterranean quarryman
wheeled his, and shortly after he had
shot the stones out there came a rum bling
from below as if the other had been
emptied. The very gu try is pointed
cut where this extraordinary phenomenon
took place. 1t is curious how story of
this kind, something like which is,
think, told of the Hartz Mountains,
should have got localized in limestone
quarry so far apart in distaace and char
acteT. How we'll remember the ancient
laborer who told me this legend as boy.
1t IS easy to philosophize ON it now and
speculate upon the genesis of the ta.e,
which may have originated in cavern
Gus hollow resounding to the tools; but
then il was reality, and l recollect al
ways giving wide berth 10 that Quarry
at night. As the old man told it, 1t was,
indeed, hardly legend, for ne could dis
close every detail, and what has here oc-
cupied few sentences took him the best
part of an hour to relate.
Now and then the western clouds, after
sunset, assume shape resembling that
of vast extended wing, as of gigantic
bird in full flight, the extreme tip nearly
reaching the zenith, the body of the bird
Just below the horizon. The resem blance
is sometimes so perfect that the layers of
feathers are traceable to the imaginative
eye This, the old folks say, is the wing
of the Arehangel Michael, and it bodies
no good to the evil ones among the Ma
lions, for he is On his way TO execute
some dread command.

Then she turned to the King and asked
him to cut it down.
At first the King refused, but at last
he ended by consenting. SO she ordered
her servants to cut it down by the roots
and not to give the smallest piece to any
one.
An old woman, who was passing, ask
ed them TO give her branch TO light her
fire, but in vain. Then the old woman
snatched branch and ran away
When she got home she forgot to put
1t Oh the fire and left it in the corner.
Every morning the old woman went
out marketing. One day, when she came
back, she found the house put straight,
the fire lighted and the floors swept. She
asked her neighbors if they had not seen
any one enter the house, but no one had
done so. On the following day, ana
every day afterwards, the same thing
took place.
Once she pretended TO go out, and hid
herself in the house, in order to keep
watch. Then she saw a woman, as beau
tiful as a Nereid, coming out of the
branch; and she Immediately clasped her
IN her arms.
After that these two women remained
together, and the elder one felt great
love for her companion, who was so
beautiful and so good.
The news spread about that the old
woman had in her house lady as beauti-
sful as Nereid. The King himself heard
of it and sent for the old woman to ques-
ton her. Then the old woman told him
all that she knew.
Basilopoulo at once guessed that it was
his wife, and he sent for her.

that had happened to her, and he i'm

The End.

The course of the weariest river
Ends IN the great gray sea;
The acorn, forever and ever,
Strives upward to the tree.
The rainbow, the sky adjoining,
Shines promise through the storm;
The glimmering of the coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form,
By time all knots are riven,
Complex although they be,
And peace will at last be given,
Dear, both to you and me.
Then, though the path may be dreary'
Look onward to the goa.i
Though the heart and the head De weary
Let faith inspire the soul,
Seek the right, though the wrong De tempt
ing;
Speak truth at any cost;
Vain is all weak eXempting
When once the gem is lost.
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain and ambushed foes;
Thought earnest aud fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining
But with evening comes the light;
Through the dark are low winds complain
ing,
Yet the sunrise gliGes the height;
And love has hidden treasure
For the patient and pure;
And time gives its fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
And the word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
For we know that when we awaken
We shall be satisfied"
