istence upon "myths of the sun and dawn
she points out clearly and reasonably the natur-
al sources, so far as they may be known, of the
strange beliefs and fancies of the Middle Ages.
Mr.. Barring Gould relates the myths in SYM
pathetic and picturesque manner, and reserves
comment until he has given the story in its
poetic simplicity. His volume differs from
many others upon similar subjects in its de-
Sign, not to explain away or lessen the force Of
the mighty myths of old days-but rather to
illuminate them and preserve them in their
mysterious poetic shape. Among the myths
treated of in this volume, are Tannhauser-
most pathetic of legends, with its following OF
the strange goddess of the hollow hill, repen-
lance and despairing return to the bitter ashes
OF past pleasure; the quaint stories of mer-
maids, one of whom being left in sea-pool by
the ebb of the tide was taken home by certain
Dutch maidens, dressed in their clothes, and
kept in their town for several years-the me-
Sdiaval historian declines to tax faith too far
and admits that the mermaid never learned to
+ llk. This latter trait in mermaids may ac-
count for the frequency with which they were
sought as wives by the jewellers ON land Mel

to this effect. The manin the moon with his
thornbush is one of the most curious of myths;
and the jingle of Jack and Jill is traced di-
rectly to Morse moon-myth of Hulk and Bill.
Another group of legends celebrates the
sleeping heroes that the peoples longing re-
fuses to believe ead-Charlemagne with
sword and crown, Ogier the Dane in dream
land, and True Thomas of Ercildoune Tapped
in faery sleep under the green Eildon hills.
And here similarity of sound-sometimes in
deed, a dangerous clue to follow in myth-lore,
suggests the likeness between the H0rsel-berg
of Tannhauser, and Ercildoune. Horse, it is
well known, was Gothic earthquakes, and
the traces Of her praise and the fear
of her fingered in forests and hol-
lows of dark hill-regons long after the
Christian belief had driven forth the ancient
worship. Horsel was the Gothic Venus,
great-armed Titan woman with strange en-
chantments, far unlike the southern Aphro-
dite the golden flower of bright sea- Her
worship was widespread and she had her hill
and vale in Thuringia and, not unlikely her
doune or down in British land, where the
Druids have left the memory of their rights
Loveliest of all legends is that of the Fortunate
Islands, where is not rain or thunder in the
air, but skies of gold and blue, and falling
streams and where are brought the souls of
dead heroes, while the sun hangs in the sky
neither new-risen nor near his setting.
Those readers who would trace poetry to its
sources in myth, loving the wonderful tales of
ancient time, cannot more readily do this than
by the aid of Mr.. Barring Gould's volume,

Peake's Opera House.

This IS the very appropriate name
which has been given to the new
building of c. H. Peake's now being
rapidly pushed to completion under
the supervision of our most energet-
ic contractor, A. N. Peach. The hall
is 36x60 it,, with large stage in the
south end, full description Of which
will be given hereafter, but suffice it
now to say that it will be the contest
and best appointed opera house in
this section and the citizens Of Wa
dena are deeply indebted to the gen.
erous and public spirited enterprise
of Mr.. Peake.

FARM1NGroN, W. IT,, March 4.
ED. TELLER:-I have residence of
three months i'll Pennington. l can
not say that l am greatly impressed
with this particular section Of the
country. Ever since settling here we
have had continuous season Of cold
weather. The query now uppermost
is when will the season for blowing
begin. If this dreary weather pre-
va Is much longer | am certain our
Spring grain will have to De sown in
the Summer and our harvesting done
probably in the Fall. / believe if
these different sections Of the country
were advertised just as they are, it
would be q great deal better for all
concerned There is q class Of men
who come here on misrepresentation
which, if rightly Informed, would go
to a country more suitable for them.
There is no doubt but that every por-
ton of this country will become thick
ly paoplcd, but the main idea is to
have it settled b. men suited and suit
able to the country. We have men
here in tho various professions that
would, and possibly could, fill the
same positions with greater credit to
them selves and with more profit to the
community concerned. We want q
good live merchant here who can .ive
us general merchandise for our farm
ing proluc. and not be afr il of hav-
| ing one lNalf dozen Of eggs or four
| pounds of butter accumulate on their
hands. Our soil is rich indeed. and
with this idea many Aock into this
country, thinking that deep loan is all
that is required in order to grow a
fortune. Why, Mr Editor, we sup
pose that he soil at the bottom Of the
sea is also very rich. GOOSE.
