WIND AND SEA.

The sen is a jovial comrades;
he laughs wherever he goes;
bis merriment shines in the dimpling lines
That wrinkle his hale repose:
dc lays himself down at the feet of the sun,
And shakes all over with glee.
Aud the broad backed pillows fall faint ON tho
shore
In the mirth Of the mighty seai
But the wind is sad and restless
And cursed with an inward pain;
You may bark at will, by valley or hin,
But you hear him still complain.
He walls on the barren mountains
And shrieks on the wintry sea;
He sobs in the cedar and means in the pine
And shoulders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices,
And l know not which is best
The laughter that slips from oceans lips
Or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's a pang in all rejoicing,
A Joy in the heart Of pain.
And the wind that saddens. the sea that glad
dens,
Are singing the selfsame strain.
-Bayard Taylor.

WHO CINDERELLA REALLY WAS.

Her Story Is Very Ancient and Appears
In Sacred Hindoo Books.
The story of Cinderella is substantial
ly the same as that told of Rhodopis
and Psammitichus by Elan, who lived
in Rome in the third century Of the
Christian era. The story, as told by
Elan, is that while Rhodopis was bath
ing. an eagle carried away one of her
sandals aud dropped it neal the feet Of
Psammitichus, king of Egypt, who, like
Cinderella's prince, was struck by its
%dilninutive size, caused the maiden to
be sought for, and married her when
found. Make the sandal a glass slipper
and add the ugly sisters for the sake of
contrast, and the stories are much the
same. The glass slipper. by the way, is
an acknowledged fiction, being in real
ity a m~istranslation of ''pantoufe EN-
vair" Ia fur slippery, and not zen
verre."
This, at all events, Is what is claimed
by Perrault in his "Contes de Fees. /"
Both these stories have doubtless a com
mon origin, but it is necessary to &c
further back in the history of the litera-
ture to find ito a people who lived in
q period compared with which that of
sven Elan is quite modern. 1t is in the
Vedas, the four sacred books of the Hin
docs, that the origin is to be found.
After what has already been said, 1t
will not be surprising to learn that Gin
derella is a dawn maiden, her sisters
being the powers of darkness, who
compel her to wait upon them, keeping
her hidden from sight. The dawn maid
en- breaks from her bonds, and capti-
Yates the sun, remaining with him for
q time. But she cannot linger with him
in the heavens; she can remain only
until a certain hour. Once she fingers
too long. and. hurrying back. leaves on
the path she has taken q token Of her
visit in the form Of a feecy cloud,
which had borne her aloft when she left
the regions Of darkness. The sun, deter
mined to find her, sends out his emis-
saries (the rays of light. but does not
find her until she appears before him as
the evening twilight. In the Vedas the
prince is called Mira, which is one Of
the names given to the sun.-London

KANsKs.s SHIP.
The Fran Is Heard From with All
Well on Board

Christiania, Aug. 22.-Dr. Nansen's
Arctic exploration ship Fran, which
he left embedded in the ice. early in
January, 1895, in about latitude S3 de-
grees north, in order to explore the sea
north of the route proposed &c follow,
eventually reaching sc degrees 10
minutes north, arrived at Skjervo in
the province of Tromsoe. yesterday
evening. Capt Sveldrup, her com
mander, reports all WE'LL on board.
The Fran. he said. called at Danes
island on Aug "A. and saw Prof. An
dree, who was stn aiting for ia
vorable wind in order to enable him to
attempt his balloon trip across the
Arctic region. Capt Sverdrup, shortly
after his arrival, sent the following tel
egram to DR.. Nansen:
FRAN arrived safely. All we'll on
board. Leave at once for Tromsoe.
Welcome home"
DR.. Nansen replied to this message
as follows:
"a thousand times welcome to you
and all. Hurrah for the Fran"
The Fran left Skjorvoe this morn
ing on her way to Trcmsoe, where DR..
Nansen will meet her.
dispatch from SkJeryo says that
the Fran reached open water Aug. 13.
A member of the expedition expresses
the opinion that the Fran would have
penetrated much further into the Arc
tic regions and that perhaps the North
pole would have been reached if the
Fran had been frozen in east of the
New Siberian islands. In the highest
latitude reached, Sc deg. Is min. north,
members of the exploring party saw
guillemots, fulmaras. and narwhales,
but no other signs of organic life were
apparent.
Prof. S. A. Andrce, according to re-
ports received here, told Capt. Sver-
drup, who visited the aeronaut, that it
was now too late to rflke the pro-
posed ascent, and that would prob
ably soon return 10 Sl .tZbergen and
make another effort to Teach the North
pole in balloon next April.
The Fran. it is said, still has pro-
visions capable of sustaining her crew
in the Arctic regions for three years.
Fearing that crush Of ice would break
the ship. Capt. Sverdrup and crew
were obliged, after DR.. Nansen left, to
remove all the sledges, provisions, am
mun!tioD and light furniture.
