Swedish Proverbs.

Mrs. Baker, in her pictures of Swed-
ish Life says that the Swedish lam
guage is rich in proverbs. Many OF
these are exactly the same as are found
in English: THE burnt child breads the
fire." and Better late than never" for
instance. Others, while corresponding
to proverbs in English, have turn
peculiar to themselves. The following
are q few examples:
"When the cat is away, the rats dance
ON the table"
Zone bird in the hand is better than
ten on the roof
when the stomach is satisfied, the
food is bitter
ITO read and not to know, is to pillow

1T is a disgrace to us to have, such

''But my prisoner?" said the brigand,
in his suave voice.
"He shall come with us to Lord Well

take him.
He approached the young officer. and
then. turning as quick as a fash. he
fired his pistol in my face. The bullet
scored it's way through my hair and
burst hole on each side of my busby.
Seeing that he had missed me, he raised
the pistol and was about to hurl it at
me, when the English sergeant, with T.

his head from his body. His blood had
not reached the ground, nor the last
curse died on his lips, before the whole
horde we're upon us, but with dozen
bounds aud us many slashes we were all
safely out of the glade, and galloping
down the winding track which led to

1t was not until we had left the ra-
vine far behind us and were right out
in the open fields that we ventured to
halt and to see what injuries we had
sustained. For me, weary and wound
ed as I was, my heart was beating
proudly and my chest was nearly burst

straight down in the direction of the

He then fastened another rope in the
same fashion to a similar tree on the
other side. The two loose ends were
now dangling down, and waited with
some curiosity and just little trepida-
ton to see what they would do next.
The whole band pulled upon one of the
ropes until they had bent the strong
young tree down into a semi-circle,
and they then fastened it to a stump,
SO as to hold it so. When they had

"Wewcre all interested to see wheth-
er you were as strong as these two
young saplings, " said he. ''It is our in
tention, you see, to tie one end OF each
rope round your ankles and then to let
the trees go. If you are stronger than
the trees, then, of course, no harm would
be done. If on the other hand the trees
ore stronger than you-why, in that
case, colonel, we may have a souvenir
OF you upon each side of our little
glade" He laughed as he spoke, and at
the sight of it the whole forty of them
laughed also Even now if am in my
