ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY.
The Legend OF the Cuckoo.


1t is common belief that the cuckoo
is transformed girl calling her brother.
In Servia the cuckoo, kttharitzG, wos :,
girl who lamented her brothers death
so long that she was turned into a
cuckoo. This in itself is not very cir
cumstantial, but Albania supplies a
more complete story. There were once
two brothers and sister. The latter
accidentally killed one of them by get
ting up suddenly from her needle-work
and piercing him to the heart with her
scissors. She and the surviving brother
mourned SO much that they were
turned into birds; he cries out to the
lost brother by night gion, gion, and
she by day, kaI kat, k,t ku, which means
"Where are your The cuckoo, says
the Bohemian legend, once had a crown
on her head, till at wedding among
the birds, at which the hoopoe was
bridegroom, she lent it and has never
been able to get it back. He is always
crying out katkat, which means "You
rascal" to which the other replies, jd,t,
jda, Il come, I come" but comes not.
The Bohemians also take the cuckoo for
an enchanted miller or baker. The
latter is more enchanting story, as be-
ing either of post Christian origin, or
else pagan memory transferred, as so
often happened, into Christian dress.
Christ, passing one day bakers shop,
sent one of His disciples in to ask for
some new bread. The baker refused to
give it, but his wife and six daughters,
who were compassionate, delivered
some secretly to the disciple. In re-
ward they were placed among the stars,
as the Pleiades; but the baker was
turned into a cuckoo, and it confirms
this story that his cry is heard as long as
those seven stars are visible in the sky.
In Poland long ago it was a capital
crime to kill cuckoo. The apparent
reason was that Zywiec, who in old
Slavonic mythology was the ruler of
the universe, used to change himself
Gas Zeus once did and Indra too) into q
cuckoo, in order to announce to mortals
the number of years they had to live;
belief so real that multitudes used
to flock every May to Zywiec's
temple, on the mountain that was
called after his name, to pray for long
life and prosperous health. To this
day it is common article of folklore
belief that so many years yet remain to
a man of life as he hears the cuckoo's
voice for the first time in the spring.
And a monkish historian has handed
down, for the edifcation of posterity,
the story of the worldly minded brother
who, tired Of the monotony of convent
life, resolved to ask of the cuckoo the
number of years yet allotted him to
live. The bird having said twenty-five,
the monk resolved to devote himself
for season to the pleasures of this
world and yet have time before him to
prepare for the next; but, alas! the
bird was heathenish and therefore a
false oracle to listen to, and death sur
prised the recreant monk In the TWEEN
tieth year, still absorbed in Temporal
enjoyments and vanities. Corn

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
How Jersey City Lawyer CaptuEsda o
WIfe-ye>t strategy.

NRw YoRx, July IA romantic story is
tod Of the circumstances attending the
marriage few days ago Of B. 7. Tunison,
young lawyer OF Jersey City, son Of the
Rev. NJ. TunisOn, Of the Newark Methodist
Episcopal Conference. Miss Belle Burton,
an attractive young lady, whose parents
reside in York, Pa, came two or three
weeks ago to visit friends residing on Sipp
avenue, Jersey City Heights, and at festi'
val Mr.. TunisOn met her. It was case OF
love at first sight, and by the end of the
week Tunison had made her an offer Of
marriage. She said her parents had picked
out resident OF York to whom they pro-
posed to wed her on the following day,
which was last Wednesday. He was many
wears her senior, and she did not like the
match herself, but then he was wealthy,
and that wsS something in his favor.
She expected her aunt from York that
very day 10 take her home and pre-
pare her for the wedding. But for that she
would have readily accepted the young
lawyers proposition. Tunison volunteered
to at once take her to New York, marry
herf and TO be ready by the time her aunt
arrived TO introduce her as Mrs. Tunison.
Miss Barton consented, but before they
got away the aunt had arrived to take the
niece away on the train which was to leave
the Pennsylvania Railroad station at !
o'clock that afternoon. Tunison advised
the girl to go to the station with heraunt and
leave the rest with him. Then he went to
the Office OF Counselor George Barron, his
friend, and made known TO him the posi-
ton OF affairs. Barron started for the sta.
ton with the anxious lover. The eauntand
her niece we're Just on the point OF enter
ing the train. Barron told his friend that
the aunt would leave the car in a few min
utes, and that then the girl would have the
freedom she sought.
In less than three minutes District
messenger boy was running through the
car with sealed envelope, anxiOusly in:
quiring for Mrs. Sayre. That's my name"
exclaimed the aunt. Message, ma'am!'
said the boy. Mrs. Sayre opened it and
read on the slip OF paper inClosed that i'm
portant information awaited her at the
office of Mr.. Barron, on Montgomery street.
She threw her bundles into her niece's lap,
promising to return in a minute or two,
bounded of the car and up Montgomery
street to the lawyers Office. Tunison en-.
tered the car and Miss Barton went with
him to the ferrybost. Crossing to New
York, they were married by the Rev. Mr..
Simpson, OF TSenty-6tth street, and went
from there 10 Manhattan Beach, whence
kilograms were sent to their friends. Miss
Barton's brother, on visiting the couple,
learned that his unexpected brother in.law
was an old friend. The aunt got back to
the train in time to see it going out. She
telesraphed forward to the conductor to
tell her niece to wait her arrival at Pnila'
delphia, but she has probably found out
that Mrs. Tunison did not receive her mes.
