A ROMANCE OF HISTORY.

TWAS nutting time.
A blooming band of peasant children
had gathered from far and near to have
"a merry day amid the nut trees and
hedges.
I say children-but girls of fifteen
and lads of eighteen and twenty were
scattered throughout the chattering
group.
The nut harvest was joyful time to
them.
The young are always attractive in a
certain way. The undimmed bright
ness of the eye the satiny smoothness
of the complexion-the happy smiles
lowering around the rosy lips each
has beauty to itself; but add to the
youthful face the charm of perfectly
chiseled features, and of .lustrous
brown eyes, looking out upon the world
with an innocent wonder at the chang
ing scenes of loneliness so constantly
unfolding themselves before them
frame it in mass of shining, wayy
gold of natures own crimping-and
poise it upon form so 1.-THE and slen-
der in its exquisite grace that Praxi-
teles might have chosen it for his
model-and you can form an idea of
Rika Bremer-the acknowledged beauty
of the whole surrounding country.
And there was a romantic story
!. about her going the rounds.
1t was said that no less q parsonage
than Prince Eric, the son Of the great
and good Gustavus, had been standing
one morning by one of the palace win
'dows to witness a rustic procession,
which had been gotten up in honor of
some important victory, recently won
by his famous father; and, as he stood
gazing listlessly out, his eyes bright
ened suddenly, and he turned to an at
tendant and whispered a few words
which caused him to hasten away.
When he returned he was not alone
Rika was with him.
Prince Eric's beauty-loving eyes had
been attracted by her as she had stood
;amid.a group OF other maidens looking
at the gayly-dressed columns of her
countrymen filing by.
She, too, was in holiday attire; and
the black velvet jacket, fitting closely to
her slender figure, and adorned with
:silver-gilt buttons, brought out 50 vivid
ly the exquisite fairness Of her skin,
with its rose-leaf tints of red upon lips
and cheeks, that she looked like a being
of different sphere as she stood amid
her mates.
Confused and blushing, she now
awaited the Princes pleasure. She
dared not raise her eyes to his face.
Had she done so she would have been
overpowe~ed by the earnestness of the
gaze with which he regarded her.
From the moment his eyes rested
upon Rika's face the world held but one
peerless woman to him.
It mattered not that his younger
brother, Duke John, was even then in
another kingdom, wooing for him a
royal bride, upon whose brow rested a
diadem whose splendor far exceeded the
one which he was to inherit upon the
death of his father. Il,
No. In that moment Elizabeth Of
England was forgotten. The peasant
maid who stood before him had become
the Queen Of his fancy.
ssThv name, little onep'' he asked.
Rika raised her eyes to the handsome,
earnest face, but dropped them timidly
as she met his glance.
..I am Frederikathe forester's
daughter-your Majesty. "
Nay, not vet crave for that title,

THE OLD CHURCH BELL.

q d {
Born of the metal and the fire,
They bore me from my raging sire,
And made me of the city'S choir
Which sings in free air only;
And here since then I've patient hungs
Silent, untouched: but, being swung
Giving my voice with iron tongue.
Alone, but never lonely.
The hermit of the belfry here,
Celled in the upper atmosphere.
speak in accents stern and clear
To all the listening people;
With none my speech to check or mar,
Sending my utterances near ana iar,
With sonorous clang and sudden jar,
I shake the slender steeple.
ring the chimes for the bridal day:
/ toll when the dead are borne away;
] clang when the red flames rise and play
On cracking roof and rafter;
] tell the hours for the steady clock;
And back and forth in my work rock,
And sink to silence after.
Here by myself in belfry high,
Peeping through bars at earth ana SKY,
And mocking the breezes sweeping by,
And back their kisses tlinging;
I chime for smiles, / toll for tears,
herald news and hopes and fears,
As have done for many years,
And never tire of ringing.
From place of vantage, looking down
On yellow lights and shadows brown
Which CLINT and tint the busy town
With hues that CLEAN and culver,
see within the streets below
The human currents crosswise flow,
Eddying, surging to and fro,
An everything river.
And when the twilight slowly crawls
Der slated roofs and bricken walls,
And darkness ON the city falls.
And dews the flags besprinkle.
wa ch the gloom around me creep,
So dense the silence, dense and deep,
The very highways seem to sleep,
b 1t for the gaslights' twinkle.
Or day or night there meet my gaze
The s1oping roofs, the crowded ways,
The meshes of dreary maze
Where men are ever vending;
One day rest for them may see
One day in seven; but as for me,
No time from call of duty free,
My toll is neYerendlng.
I chime for birth or bridal train;
/ toll when souls have burst their chain;
clang when fire its rudy rain
From clouds of smoke is t1inging;
I chime for smiles, toll for tears,
herald news and hopes and fears,
And so shall do for many years,
And never tire of ringing.

RENUNcIArIoN.

Both bird and cage were fair,
And both belonged to me;
Yet ever with heaTtful eyes
The bird looked over the sea.
Within their tender depths
ShOne over q wild unrest;
Ever against the bars
1t beat its beautiful breast.
I said, I win make its cage
So bright. and glad and gay.
With all that love csn do,
It can no9 choose but stay.
In vainl With all my art.
Still II was plain To me
That ever with longing eyes
Ny bird looked over the sea.
Then said; 1 will hold 1t close
Surely Il is my right
will keep this precious thing,
If not by love, ny might
In vain! Though mine the power
To hold or set 1t free,
Not mine to hold its heart
That could escape from me.
Then said, Be free, o Bird,
To spread your beautiful wings,
Who cares fer a song, uuless
It's the heart that sings2
For the glance of eyes that shine,
II shining they also rover
For the snOwiest breast, If ne'er
It beat with the pulse of love?
Wide / opened the door;
But turned my face away,
For mea are weal sometimes,
Whatever the world may say.
A thrill of JOY rarg cut
From a happy, songful breast
A fash OF wings-alasl
Ny heart told all the rest.
Ny bird will never come back;
Yet why should l weep or sigh,
II only the thing ! love
Has entered its native SKYE
Twill never come back. Know
But who, his love to prove,
Is willing 10 De forgot.
Stands on the nights OF Love.

How to Handle "a Liar.
TPeck's sum-

The only way to deal with a liar is to beat
him at his own game. That is, of course,
unless he is the editor of a pIous newspaper.
What started this item was reading about an
American who hsd been TO Europe, and
who was telling a friend, who knew he was
a liar, about his trip across the Atlantic, and
how on the 25th OF the month they en-
countered aswsrm of locusts, and the locusts
carried every stitch of canvas off the SHIP
The listener looked thought moment, and

The Park Reformed Church of jersey
City has learned an expensive lesson on
the instability of earthly wealth, especially
~ connected with certain jersey City bank
ing institutions Some weeks ago this
church held fair, the proceeds of which
amounted to 1859. In ordertnst this money
might be perfectly cafe, it was deposited In
good Brother Boice's City Bank. At latest
accounts It had not been taken out, and it is
not likely TO be. The good sisters woo en-
gineered that fair will have TO hold another
to make good the lost funds.
