to her with such eloquence as surely
Frigga's self gave me, and she had
blushed and sighed, and told me how
wide apart were our kindred and how
hostile our countries, and that 1t could
never be, and then had blushed again
and dropped tear and slid her hand
into my own, and thus Ulla was happy
happy with an incredible happiness,
happy beyond expectation and knowl-
edge.
Sweet was the breath of the pines
that afternoon, pleasant the distant
murmur Of the sea upon the hollow
rocks; soft the carpet Of felted MOSES,
and fair the nodding flowers that fringed
our path!
On the next morning l went to the
tent where she lodged by the sullen old
churl her uncle, and it was empty! The
pennOn was gone from in front; the
red-haired sentinels were gone, the
benches were empty and deserted, the
doors were opened, and, sick at heart
and fearful, turned to one who stood
near and asked where was the bar
barian envoy and where the fair white
girl who had come with him. Heavy as
lead fell the answer on my ears: "The
stranger had quarreled last night at the
feast-had struck and been struck by O
hill chieftain, and in moment of drunken
fury had ordered out his ships, had
taken the white maid from her couch,
and, scarcely giving her time TO slip on
cloak ana sandals, had gone down to
the strand and, cursing everything
Norwegian, launched into the black,
midnight sea, and sailed away through
the darkness to the land Of the stran-
gers"
Bitter was my grief and disappont-
ment! For half day 1 ran up and
down the shore distracted, rage and
chagrln alternately mastering my soul.
Then l bethought me of my longship
and had her dragged to the shore, and,
swift as a white sew-mew before
squall fled out to sea, and crossing
over the rough water, beat up and down
the English coast for a week hoping to
see them, and when that hope was vain
back l came disconsolate to the vi
kings shore and sailed for many days
about the islands, asking at every town
from Rocky Jar to merchant Nidaros
whether a ship Of the foreigners with a
white maid and red-haired men on board
had put in there, and got laughed at for
my pains, and so L came back empty
handed and empty-hearted at last to my
own homestead.
Very weary were the days and months
that followed. The sunshine had gone
out Of the world, and Stunned my jolly
comrades; the light laughter of the Nor
way maids was bitter to me. hated
my hawks and my wolf-dogs; no longer
fed my sleek horse; my weapons rusted
on their hooks; my lendirmen, unre-
proved pillaged my stocks and barns,
and day and night 1 hung, disconsolate,
over the remembrance of my loss.

sounded, and the shout of the people
outside came into the hall like the roar
Of torrent sounding through the pine
woods. saw and heard all this but
dlmly, for Ulla Erllngson himself, the
Indifferent, the invincible, was on that
moment vanquished.
Among the fair Danes maidens on the
cross bench sat an English girl, and
such a queen of gentle loveliness never
eyes rested on before. She was scarce
seventeen years old, but tall and shape
ly and slim, with wondrous smooth
figure, and her loneliness of limb and
out inc was set off by q fair, clinging
robe Of the mystic druid green, of just
such hue as you see hanging, pale and
tender, over the strong black fields Of
the northern sea when the wet west
wind blows at sunset. Her eyes were
blue as fairy flax in summer, and shy,
and clear, with yelled light running
somewhere deep down within them; her
feet were sandaled with doe skin and
white ermine, her middle was belted
with broad zone Of pearls and amber
beads, none of them smaller than a
linnets egg, and her hair, the crown
and consummation Of her loveliness,
was bound up with single fillet Of red
English gold
A strand Of that hair now, fifty years
after, lies before me in the pale flicker
OF my feeble lamp. The luster has
gone from 1t, and the dull stain of blood
is on it, and it is pale with the kisses Of
these priestly lips, and bleached by
salt sea water, and hide my eyes a
space from the silent reproach of that
sweet toy, for even now l cannot look
upon it without throe Of heavy grief
and sorrow.

The duty on semi-bituminousc coal is seventy
five cents ton. If it was reduced twenty
five per cent the Frostburg JOURNAL says the
tariff on coal would still be seventy-tiye cents
a ton. The JOURNAL knows all about math-
ematics, it does. 1t evidently learned at
Dotheboys Hall.-Cumberland News.
The JOURNAL said nothing about
the rate at which coal had been re-
duced.
1t said that the ''ideal tariff rate"
od oolorem method, is % per cent, and
that if that method be adopted gener-
ally the duty on coal will remain as it is
10 cents per ton.
But, for the information of the Meas,
we will state that its friends attempted
to reduce the duty on coal 60 per cent.
and would have succeeded but for the
enemies of the Ne,os, who saved it at
40 per cent.
In palmer words, the bill of 1872,
drawn and pushed by the friends of
this region, provided for reduction
from $l.25 to so cents per ton, but
the supposed enemies of the region
stopped the downward plunge at rs
cents.

of coal sent to the Fair by the Georges
Creek Coal and Iron company is
"twelve feet, nine inches high and
four feet square, The JOURNAL is
credibly Informed the column is ,tour-
teen feet eight inches high, thus showing
the thickness of the Big Vein coal that
company is working, all of which is
pure. This shaft of coal will be,
therefore, one Of the features of
