ahline Enplishmen and Americans to un-
derstand the political differences between
Norway and Sweden. which of late have
reached a critical point Obviously, to
appreciate the motives which have impelled
the Norwegian people to proclaim their in
dependence, it is necessary to know some
thing of the earlier relations Of the two
nations which between them divide the
Scandinavian peninsula and OF the cir

tween them came to be established about

The kingdom was invaded by Lutheranism
from the north, and by Calvinism from
the west. Lutheranism was the established
religion OF the Duchy of Prussia, and the
newly erected university OF Konigsberg
where Polish printing presses were set up,
became a seminary for Polish ministers
and preachers. On the other hand, We

we're regularly attended by Church digni-
taries. Calvinism, indeed, was publicly
professed by many Catholic priests. some

found even more favor In Poland than the
Calyinist, was that OF the Bohemian
Brethren. There is no doubt that by the

As the result OF deficient knowledge OF

Of the real origin OF the union, the aristo-

to regard the claim Of these peasant folk
to political equality as an unwarranted
piece OF insolenoe; nay, even as an exhibi-
ton Of base ingratitude, for they labor under
the delusion that Sweden nobly helped to

in that way aided to raise it to the rank

The idea Of man created perfect and

humanity, recognizing it's present inn
PROJECTIONS and the frequent distress
ing dismalness of it's present surround
ings. Even those who knew nothing Of
the Bible story pictured such spot for
themselves Every early mythology
has it's fortunate isles, its Atlantis, it's
Hesperides, it's Arcadia and it's Golden
Age
Some persons even conjectured that
paradise had not been on the earth at
all, but was an island floating in the
air, something like the island visited
by CULVER They did not wish to
think that the sacred spot could be
submerged by the waters of the del
uge, and by this device they raised it
above any such calamity. On this is
land dwelt the sacred phenix; the
we'll of life flowed there, the elixir Of
Immortality; leaves never fell from the
trees; the sun shone always on per-
petual summer. Men declined to be-
lieve that Eden had been destroyed
forever. They preferred to imagine
that it's gates were closed to them for
a season. To deem that such q spot
could vanish seemed sacrilegious.
Many an early voyager and explorer
had strange dreams of discovering
some earthly paradise when he set out
for unknown shores-dreams perhaps
not spoken, but secretly nourished and
strengthened by unconquerable force
of romantic superstition that lived in
the heart Of ages in other ways so
dark. Even the Elizabethans dreamed
always Of some more wonderful coun-
try to be discovered. Their tolls and
perils and fightfngs had ever the re-
deeming glamour of romance. In those
days was the true poetry of travel.
There was always some Ell Dorado,
some hidden Eden, to be reached. -
