Diana.

She had IL bow of yellow horn
Like the old moon ut early mora.
She had threesarrows strong and good,
Steel set in feathered cornell wood.
Like purest pearl her left breast shon e
Above her kirtle's emerald zone.
Her right was bound in silk we'll knit.
Lest her bowstrings should sever it,
Ripe lips she had and clear gray eyes,
Andhair, pure gold, blown hoyden-wise
Across her face. like shining mist
That with dawn's flush is family kissed.
Her limbs! How matched and round
and fine,
How free like song how strong like wine!
And timed to music wild and sweet,
How swift her silvcr-sandaled feet!
Single of heart and strong of hand.
Windlike she wandered through the
land.
No man 70" king or lord or churl)
Dared whisper love to that fair girl.
And woe to him who came upon
Her, nude, at bath, like Acteon.
So dire his fate, that one who hear d
The flutter of % bathing bird.
What time he crossed Il breezy wood,
Felt sudden quickening of his blood;
Cast one swift look, then ran away
Far through the green, thick groves
of May:
Afeared, lest down the wind of spring
He'd hear an arrow whisper ing

JENNY LIND'S YOUTH.
The Cwedish Nightingale's Struggle
from Obscurity to Fame.

Correspondent of the Chicago Rccord-lIcrald,
Jenny Lind was baptized as Johanna
Lindborg. The nickname by which she
became famous was given her in her
childhood. Her mother lived in two
different tenementS in Stockholm, 43
Jakobsberrgsgatan and 80 Mastersam-
uelSgatan, while she was an infant,
and it is not definitely known in which
she was born. Both claim the honor,
but the weight of evidence seems to
be in favor of the former, which is on
a short street in the manufacturing
section of the city and mostly occu-
pied BY artisans of various sorts The
other place is on a better street near
the center of the business section.
a Mr.. Lindhal. who holds a position
in the Royal library here, has an in
teresting collection of letters and doc
uments relating to the early life of
Jenny Lind. He has certified copies of
the record of her birth and christen-
ing and the proceedings of the court
which, when she was ii years of age
decided that her parents We're unfit
persons to have charge of her, and ap-
pointed the director of the opera house

she was child and afterward when
she was a young woman in Paris
