Scandinavian Hospitality.

The most striking quality of Scandina-
Wan character seems to be hospitality.
Throughout Norway, Sweden, and the
far North the author was heartily re-
ceived by every one, from the king in
his palace to the Laplander in his tent.
During five years of almost incessant
travel, i'll the course of which every part
of the peninsula was visited Mr. Du
Chaillu was coolly treated only once. The
Swedes and Norwegians have the repu.
tation of being reserved and cold, but this
is true of them only when they meet
strangers of the class best suggested by
the word "tourist." To any one whose
interest in them can not be measured by
a stare or two and few impertinent
questions they are unsuspicious and com
municative, as well as cordial to the
verge of affection. Mr.. Du Chailu went
among them freely, conversed with them
in their language. wore garments like
their own, and took part in their labors,
sports, aud ceremonies. The treatment
he received in return, causes him to
speak most enthusiastically in praise OF
| their sociability and kindness.
As in all other countries that retain
primitive habits, hospitality in Scandi
nayia always implies eating and drink
ing. The poorest farmer or fisherman
always has something to offer the visi
tor, and lack of appetite is generally con
strued rs a slight. The author men
tions one occasion on which, to avoid
hurting any ones feelings, he ate thirty
times in two days, and drank thirty-fonl
cups of coffee Often strong cheese i,
offered just before a meal to provoke ap
petite, and in the cities formal dinner
is preceded by "smorgas" or lunch, a

THE WIND ON THE lllLL.
by ISABELLA FYNiE MAYO.

Oh! sweet Is the summer air
Which steals down the chestnut walk,
When the children are playing there,
While lovers wander and talk,
hut the wind on the hill for me,
And the mist acr.ss the down,
And the bright light over the sea,
And ships coming home to the 10 vn!
OH merry the sunny strand,
Where waves wash In at ones feet
And the wives and the chtl lren stand
And wait for the fishing fleet.
But the wind on the hill for me,
And the mist across the down,
And the stron; light o,er the sea,
And ships coming home TO the town
Oh! stately the castle tower.
Mid Its cedars, dark and stlll,
Where ghosts )me back at midnight hour,
And the mi iday sun falls chill.
But the Wind on the hill tor me,
And the mist across the down,
And the wild light over the sea.
And ships coming home to tie town!
And solemn lie gray church splr1

With Its weather-vane tipped with mr.

But the wind on the hill for mo,
And the mist across the down.
And the golden light on the sea,
And ships going out from the town!
There's "a grave By the old church door
CThat changed all the world one day.

Creeps up as look that way?
But the wind on the hill for me,
And the mist across the down,
Though the II sht is sad on the sea,

Some day rs the sun goes down,
And the wind, blowing strong and chill,
Drives out the ships from the town!

And the mtsts may lie below;

And secret for me TO know.

OLD BATTLE FIELDS.

Long years Of peace have stilled the battle thunder
While grasses quiver where the nght was won,
Masses OF blossom, lightly blown asunder,
Drop down white petals on the silent gun;
For life is kind and sweet things grow unbdden,
Turning the scenes OF strife to bloomy bowers:
One only knows what secrets may be hidden
Beneath this cloud OF flowers
Poor heart, above thy field OF sorrow sighlng
For smitten faith and hope untimey slain,
Leave thou the soil whereon thy dead are lying
To the soft sunlight and the cleansing rain;
Love works in silence, hiding all the traces
or bitter conflict on the trampled sod
And time shall show thee all llfes battle places
Yelled by the hInd Of God.

that he had been sitting upon hot stove in

and performing other like cspers. The officers
repaired to the shop, when tn crazv Nugent
slipped out the back door. The officers fol
lowed quickly, but to their assonishment
Nugent was nowhere to be seen. He had not
time TO run around the corner, and they could
not divine his hiding place. A thorough
>earch was instituted, when the fellow was re-
vealed in the elbow of smoke stack, which
had stood by the side of the building. The
smoke stack was some twelve feet long, with
long elbow at the bottom. In this elbow
they found their man about half covered with
water.

REFORM AND REFORMERS.

The most wretchedly hackneyed term
now current is reform" Everybody
talks about reform. The changes are
wrung on the word in all circles OF
society. The hastings are loud with it.
The pulpit resounds with it. Lyceums
are full of it. Office holders and office
hunters, merchants and professional men,
mechanics and tradesmen, small boys
and women proclaim its necessity and
demand its Inauguration. The clamor
has been increasing for years, and a
stranger in the land might well imagine
tina great revulsion, grand popular
upheaval, must soon occur unless the
political methods now i'll vogue are at
once discarded and something better in
stalled in their place.
Any one can theorize, but who is to
make a practical beginningi Are we to
expect sincere reforms on the part of the
incumbents of Officer In isolated in
stances, yes; in the vast majority of
cases, no. Are we to trust the promises
of aspirants' How often have we been
disappointed in that! Are we to appeal
to the conventions, caucuses and primar-
les? What mockeryl Shall we limit the
electoral franchise and make property
or educational qualification, or both? As
suredly not, for what substrata of our So
ciety is more dangerous, more dishonest
or more destitute of simple
and unselfish patriotism than the
vast horde of wealthy, inscriptions, in
telligent conspirators who have for years
dominated the political course of the ma
tionf Is the Southern plantation dar-
keys vote greater menace to our we'll
being than r. B. Hayes or John Sher-
mans? Is the worst ballot-box stuffer
worse at heart or more powerful for evil
than Justice Matthews, of the supreme
court? No, the remedy is certainly not
in determinations at the polls.
A fool can ask questions which wise
men cannot answer. But these are the
questions which must be met, and they
do not come from fools alone, but from
the deepest thinkers of the age, as well.
On their answer depends the solution OF
the reform problem. One truth at any
rate is discernable through the dense
mist that envelopes the view;
namely that the new order so earnestly
desired by the nation at heart must be
the growth of long time. 1t cannot be
brought about in year nor in four, nor
perhaps wholly in ten. People must not
look for the instantaneous cure of an or
ganic disease. But the germ of the NAL
ady may be reached by patient, radical
treatment, and the sooner that remedy is
applied the better. Agitation is whole
some and necessary preliminary. After
this has had due course, something prac-
teal may be looked for.
