The King of the Mwn,
There was omr a young girl, who
Tvas named Delphiue, so good and
nheerfnl that she was a favorite with
everybody. This girl had a friend
trailed Hilda, who was also a very good
trhihl, and they loved each other dearly.
In the winter, when the snow was lying
♦deep upon the liill and field, Hilda fell
wick, and her parents were in great
trouble about Iter. She was quite uu
sible to eat, was burning with fever
beat, and shivering with cold by turns:
slip bppanip no better, though she h.id
spvpral doctors and much medicine.
When any of her young frugal* came
to see her, she would say : “ Give me
strawberries; which of you will go hud!
find me some strawberries, that I may
get well again.’’ If her parents said
“ Dear Hilda, it is winter, and there
are no strawberries to be found at this
season. Hilda would raise herself up
in bed, and say : “Far away, over the
high lull, there is a green slope ; there \
1 cen see plenty of strawberries; who.
will go and fetch them for me? only
one of the nice red berries only onw.”
The children left the room saying to l
♦ ■ach other: “What nonsense poor
Hilda talked about strawberries ; she.
must In' dreaming. Who would go up
that wild hill, and through those dark
woods to get strawberries foranyone?V
Hut Delphine felt troubled, and said :
“ W ho will go with me over the rnonn
tain to seek for strawberries i ft will
be some comfort to poor Hilda if she
sees us start to seek them, even if we
do not find them.” But no one would
go with her, but all wont straight home.
So Deloliine set out alone on her wav .
A small trodden footpath led up the
great steep iiill and down again on the
other side, through a great dark wood
of bench ond oak. She came to a place
where three paths met; she stood still
a minute, not knowing which path to
take, when she saw a little mu ft ap
p 'among through the trees. He had
h i hat upon his head, with a feath
> . ’a white as snow. His dress was of
t m.. st swan's down; he earned an
h" • bow at bis shoulder, and a small
sil i*r hunting horn bung at his side.
“ Wind do von want here,my little dam
sel be said, in a friendly voice.
“ Ah !’’ sai<( Delphine, *• I have asiek
friend who longs for strawberries, and
says they will make her well again. I
know wr\ well it iswinter; but I think
1 shall be able to Hud something here
she will like, and 1 hope I shall not re
turn empty handed - ”
“('nine with tin',” said the little hun
ter ; “1 will show you a place when
you will tiin 1 what you have cornu in
search of.
•it* went on before, leading her
tlirough many winding paths, until the
forest appeared lighter, the air became
warmer and more spring like, and at
last they came to a grated iron door.
The little man unlocked it, saying, “ If
yon go straight forward you will tind
what you seek. ”
Helphme would have thanked the
good hatnred little man, hut he hud
vanished , so she went oil a lew steps
further and came to a green slope.
Here winter had disappeared: !!;•■ suit
db>ne warm in a blue, cloudh -- sky ;
the birds sang merrily, and, a few steps
on, she came to a spot where the
ground was covered with the flu. st ripe
strawberries. How the good little
maiden rejoiced ! She quickly tilled
the little basket she had brought with
her, and started back to her dear sick
Hilda.
Hut somehow it happened that she
could in t find her wav buck; she came
to a iron fence that surrounded
♦be wood, but all her attempts to find
the grated iron gate were useless.' She
ran this way and that; still no gate
was to be seen. Then she heard the
sound of a whistle at a distance, and
exclaimed, in joy, “ 1 hear a living
sound; someone, surely, is in this
wood who will show me the way." She
hastened through a thicket in the di
rection id tln> whistle,and suddenly be
held a scene which caused her great
surprise. Before her lay a large green
meadow, and beyond this a clear lake,
on wliieu a number of stately, beauti
ful swans were swimming gracefully.
In the middle of the lake was a sm ,q
island, and upon it a grand palace,
surrounded by llower gardens and
orange groves. As she approached the
shores v>f the lake, she saw a little man
sitting who did not look so friendly as
the little hunter in the forest. He had
a largo head with rough hair, and a
gray beard that reached down to lus
knees. In one hand he held a whistle,
and in the other a switch.
Delphine u It rather afraid to speak
to him, and stood at a little distance.
She soon observed that his office was
to take care of the swans, and prevent
them from g ung out of the water.
When they did so he whistled to them,
and if they did not obey him, then he
employed his switch, which had the
property of stretching out or becoming
short, just as he pleased. Delphine
could see uo one hut this old man, nor
n'ly mode of reaching thp palace; tUitfe
fore she gained courage to say V“CM.d
friend, can you shew me the way mU of
this forest on my way home.”
The gray bearded looked at her in sur
prise, but he did not speak ; he merely
made he.r a, sign that she should sit
tii twu, wltich she diit TJicn he wim-tled,
and presently there came a large swan
out of the’ lake, olid iaid down before
him. Tale little man seated himself on
its back, throwing one arm around its
neck, and away the trusty bird swam
with him Across the lake. There he
alighted and wont to the palace.
1 )elphinc waited some time, curious
to co v,hat would happen; but she did
not feel afraid. At length she saw four
black swans swim from a creek running
1 into the lake, harnessed to a beautiful
little green boat, adorned with silver
and precious jewels. The awning of
, the boat was formed like a pair of wings,
and shaded two small seats, and the
how of the boat ended the shape of a
long swan’s neck.
The gray beard sat there, looking
much more agreeable than before, lb
gave Delphiue a sign to step in. She
complied. They then sailed g atly
across Hie lake, and as soon as they
reached the shore, lie handed her out of
the boat, a id led her to the palace.
In a had of blue and white marble,
on a throne of opal, sat the King of the
Swans; he wore a robe of pure white
silk, bordered with swansdown, frosted
with pearls, a golden crown on his
head, and surrounded by numerous
richly dressed attendants. “ What dost
thou seek in my kingdom?” lie asked.
“I have found what t Bought,” answer
ed Delphi ne, “but f pray yon to let
some ouo direct mo in the way home,
for I find that I have wandered in the
wrong direction.” “ Very well,” re
plied the King, “it shall be done; but
it is the custom for all who enter this
kingdom to give a present to the King
of the Swans. What hast thou to of
fer ?” “Alas!” replied Delphine, “I
have nothing at. all. If I had known,
I would have brought something trom
home. ” “Thou hast strawberries, ” re
joined the King, “and I like struwber
ries above all things. Give mo thy
strawberries, and then one of my ser
vauts w ill show beo thy way home.”
“ Alas ! 1 cannot give you all," said
Delphine; the strawberries art for my
sick friend, who must die if she inis
no strawberries, but I will readily give
you some of them. With these Words
she took several line strawberries with
steins and leaves, and tied them into a
bunch with the. ribbon that bound her
hair, and handed them to the King
“Thanks, my little daughter,” said the
King. “Now go ; this man will attend
thee -do exactly what ho desires.” The
old man with the grey beard waited for
her, and, when Delphine had taken
leave of the King, he led her into the
garden, tied a line handkerchief over
her eyes, whistled, and at the same in
fant f- •!; her by the arm. She heal'd
the rustling of wings; she felt the
winds blow colder and colder in her
face, but was not conscious of moving,
nor could she see any
thing. At last the sound of
wings ceased, and the old man set her
upon the ground: “Now, my child,
count twenty, and then take oil’ the
bandage, but not before. Preserve it
carefully ; it will be required of thee
at its proper time.” She counted
twenty, and when she had taken oil the
bandage, she found herself standing on
the hill, opposite the house of her
friend Hilda, with frost and snow
around. She looked up to the sky,ami
there saw a great bird, and the old
gray bearded man sitting upon it, with
Ins arms around its neck. Then she
hastened to her friend Hilda, who was
still m bod,repeating the words, “Who
will bring me strawberries to make me
well t”
“’lhere they are,” said Delphine,
handing the bunch to Hilda. 10very
one was astonished, and wanted to
know whence Delphine had brought
them Before she had told her won
derful adventures, Hilda had eaten all
the strawU rrics. Then the color re
turned to her face, and strength to her
limbs ; and she said, “ Thank God, and
dear Delphine, now lam quite well,”
rose up, and was really cured of her
illness.
Who can >ny how the parents thanked
Delphine { Siu was a truly good and
brave girl, helmed by all, because she
was not seltish, and was kind mid
thoughtful for others. One day, long
after, as Delphine Was walking in the
meadows with her mother, talking of
her marriage that was to be. she looked
up and saw a black speck in the sky,
which became larger as it descended,
and at last theyu-aw it was u prodigious
black swan, and that it was nyiugdown
toward them. There was a tent with
golden gauze curtains upon the swan's
buck, and when the swan had gently
alighted on the ground, there came out
of the tent a little man with friendly
eyes it was the King of the Swans.
“1 have heard," he said, “that in a
short time thou wilt celebrate thy wed
ding w till an honest, good man, and as
thou gav* st me a present when a child,
and hast grown up so good, brave and
pure a maiden, 1 w.li make thee a pres
ent in return." So saying, he put a
costly bouquet in her hand; it was
formed of gold leaves in the form of
straw berry leaves, and the berries were
large rubies and amethyst, and the
(lowers were diamonds, pearls and
opals.
“ Take this as a reward for the unsel
fishness, and thy tender love for thy
mother and friends. M Delphine and
her mother tamld hardly thank the King,
in their astonishment. But he did not
i give them time, for, pressing the hand
of Delphine kindly, he hade her fare
well, and. wishing her happiness in her
new life., entered the tent, and the black
swan rose majestically in tin air and
flew toward his home, and at last disap
peared as n little spot in the clouds.
Many little boys and girls have gone

V FFw Words about Horseflesh—A coin
in.: Involution in Food.
We have been for some years familiar
with the fact, says n writer in Good
Health, that in France, an well as Bel
gium, there are regular markets for the
sale of horaojleeh. A few years ago a
grand hanqhet was given by the di
rector of the Veterinary' School at Al
fort, in ar Paris, for the purpose of dciu
oT'str’tlllg the value of horaefleGi •> ill
article of food ; and, iu order to give a
fair trial, beside each dish of horse was
u c-orres) lorn ling one in beef. With the
exception of the director, none of the
distinguished priests—the lirst men of
the city—had ever partaken of this new
food. Tho animal which furnished lire
-pecuneus was an old horse, twenty
three years‘old, paralyzed in his hind
qintrtt rs, and; therefore, though in
other respects quite healthy, and very
fat, not likely to furnish such good
e ating as a young and more tender one.
The verdict in rcgartl to the soup was
unanimously in favor of the horse
flesh ; it was declared to be of the
same taste as beef soup, put richer,
stronger and more gelatinous, ‘ and
more capable of concentration. “ Tire
banquet closed with a tine, fat, thick
fillet of horse, larded and dressed like
venison; it was triumphantly welcomed,
and voted superex cel lent: it was ten
der. juicy, high-flavored, more delicate
and meltm ' than venison, more gamy
than beef. It was unanimously pro
nounced to be a great discovery, an im
raonse addition to the pleasures of the
table—a sort of mixture between ven
ison, hare, ami beef. ” Every guest
bogged that the cook would cut off a
good slice, that he might carry it home,
and let the inmates of the house judge ’
of its excellence.
This must rug be considered n mere
raphsody, which could emanate only
from a nation which makes delicious
dishes of frogs and snails, and whose
culinary art can transform a dog into a
rabbit, a cat into a have, and a rat into
asquirrel. There is no reason to mod
ify the verdict of this enthusiastic
French company, us all subsequent ex
perience confirms the belief that in
horse-flesh we have a nutritious, whole
some and cheap substitute for beef.
The natural repugnance to eat the flesh
of unaccustomed animals is fast wear
ing away; and this meat of a domesti
cated animal, living upon the same
food, and with the same cleanly habits
as the ox and the sheep, bids fair to
become an established article of diet in
the Old World. Such is the cheapness
and profusion of food in this country,
that its use here will be longer delayo I :
but the time will soon come, especial
ly in our great cities, when not onh
horedlcsh, but sharks’ and skates’ tins,
and other now despised hut excellent
tlshes, and even the lowly sea-weeds of
onr beaches will contribute a large
and desirable share of the food of the
people. Horse meat; aprinri , must he
regarded us far more wholesome than
pork, which we so largely consume,
from animals fed on the most disgust
ing food, and whose lungs and flesh are
very frequently diseased. Sailors are
in the habit of calling their “salt junk"
“old horse, ” anil, perhaps, with rea
son. and often stag the following dog
gerel ;
“ 4 f >|(l homo ! oM hsr*o ! vrhnt Uo*fct thou here ?
From Sarampf' to Portland |>ior
TV* rurtotl atom ibii mauv a year ;
Till killed by blown *ud gun* abuse,
oy salted mo down for sailor's unt*.’”
The time may not be far off, nay, it
even is, when this sportive allusion may
contain the truth, and yet he no hard

Mrs. Fair's Fourth Husband.
From’ tli Carroll (Niw.)
A good joke has been told us on
Mrs. Fair’s fourth husband, Snyder,
which wo have not yet seen in print.
Snyder is said to be the handsomest
man in the United States, and was
formerly a coal dealer in Philadelphia,
but soon after coming to this coast, a
few years since, went through on stocks
or something of that sort. Mrs. Fair
met him in an omnibus and determined
to marry him on account of his beauty.
She sought an introduction, and soon
afterward they were married. Snyder
thought it was all right until the
second night, when the fair one
made him ait up or occupy the
sofa all night. Snyder bucked
a little next, morning, when Mrs. Fair
repaired to a gun ftore and procured a
brace of pistols. Snyder began to
smell a mice, and went down to inquire
among “the boys" us to the character
and disposition of his beautiful bride.
They told him, not only what has now
been proven iu court, that her reputa
tion for chastity was bad, but that she
was a vixen, and would shoot or stab a
man on the slightest provocation.
Snyder looked serious, thought over
for a moment the harsh words he had
said to her before she went for the
pistols, then, raising Ins eves heaven
ward and clasping his hands t -gather,
exclaimed, in an earnest tone, “ I'll het
a t h-o-u-s-a-n-d dollars I don’t live an
hour!'*
A movabu! funeral chapel is a novel
ty recently introduced by the mana
gers of a Philadelphia cemetery. It is
intended to be spread for each inter
ment, over the grave and its immediate
vicinity. It covers an area sufficient
to allow standing room for fifty or sev
• nty-tive persons, and here, on dry
ground, they max remain sheltered
from the inclemency ot the weather,
either sun, rain r wind, during the
most protracted religions service.

Sun-Force ji’Kl Brain Heal 111.
Every or:Udligentpersoiis understands
the effect of cutting off the supply of
sunlight from a phpit. but very few are
aware how important sun-force is to
the subtle mechanism of brain and
l nerve, and how terribly mischievous is
, the result of a life too exclusively con
fined to houses, shops and stores
Recent science has brought to light
a series of intensely interesting and cx-
I tremely significant facts in regard to
the action of the brain, and the invari
able connection of this action with the
working of the mind, and has also
shown that bntvu re tina is largely de
termined fiy the influences, direct and
indirect, of sun-force. Professor Tyn
dall has lately expressed the extreme
view of this when he says that the ad
vocates of natural evolution, or many
iof them, “would probably assent to
the position that at the present mo
ment all their philosopy, all our poo
try, all our .science and all our art—-
Plato, Hhakspeare, Newton and Raph
ael—are potential in the tires of the
sun." We may pronounce this extreme
■ notion monstrous, as Professor Tyndall
does, lint the must conclusive results of
scientific inquiry put it beyond all
doubt that the force of the sun’s influ
ence plays a chief part in sustaining
the life of the brain, and is too im
portant to brain health to be neglected
without fatal peril.
The almost miraculous play of the
particles of the brain, which consti
tut >s the life and action of that organ,
is very little understood, except by
scientists and those who pay special
attention to science. It goes on ill or
well, and no heed is paid to causes
which affect it, until perhaps the af
fects of ignorance became manifest in
complete or partial breakdown of the
mind. At this moment all civilized
communities, where a high spirit of on
terprise has long prevailed, are suffer
ing to a most serious, not to say terri
ble, extent from brain-deteriorntian.
the result of working the brain too
hard, and of cutting it oil’from vivify
ing influence of the sun.
We need not enlarge upon the facts
to which study of this subject bears
testimony. It is more to our purpose
here to point out the practical necessi
ty, for our men and women who have a
chiefly in-door life, especially if that
life be one which taxes the brain, of
special attention to feeding the brain
with sun force, or bathing the brain
in the solar influences. And we believe
practical experience warrants the state
ment that for anythingliki an adequate
result there should be an active state
of the body, while in the sun-bath, and
as much help as may be from the fresh
est air and the closest contact of the
feet with the kindly magnetism of the
earth. The fact’s that u garden is as
much Eden now as ever it was, and
that work in a garden, rightly engaged
in, is the surest safeguard to one who
needs to take special care >f the health
of the brain. Days iu spring when we |
have a fresh east wind, a warm sun,
and the soil alive with the new influ
ences of the season, ought conscienti- !
o.i siy to he improved by people of over
taxed brains, to whom the exercise and
exposure wc speak of would be far more
useful than any vacation from labor iu
midsummer can lie. Thirty days at
tiiis season of the year, judiciously dc
voted to putting body and brain mulct
her influences of sun, and soil, and
air, would do more to renew brain
power than all other means together
can do. *
Perhaps some of onr readers can
command time for holding such a
“protracted meeting” with Nature and
Nature’s Author, to reiuvigoratc body
and soul for the burden and labor of
the year’s work ; but it is practicable
for most persons to devise their way of
life so as to get out into the suu for
some moderate exercise, and let earth
and sun have their kindly play of sub
tle forces through the jaded system.
Cities hardly admit of it, and for this
reason brain-workers should avoid cities
as they would a Calcutta Hole. No
work involving severe brain labor can
long prosper in cities, except at the
cost of using up those engaged in it.
If (1 o’clock does not find such workers
out in the country, as a rule, sixty will
find them fit, or nearly iit, for the in
sane retreat.
In tin 1 country any bit of out-of-doors
may be made the basis of that keeping
of a garden which has so much prom
ise in it for the wearied worker. The
more pleasure which can he devised,
by creating beauty, and cultivating an
interest in plant and flower and tree,
which comes with personal care, the
better: but most persons, if they will
only turn themselves out for this pur
pose, will find interest enough. A
Hower garden serves the purpose most
satisfactorily in most cases, and is more
practicable than any other labor of flu*
kind. Let the amateur in horticulture
get something like Hovey's “ Guide to
the Flower Garden. ” and seriously
set to work to find out how the thing is
done, and to do if well , and the result
will he astonishing. Doled undertake
too much ; put your wits to it as well
in yon; hands, and make as much of it

There is one form of exercise out of
doors which can he made peculiarly
agreeable as well as useful, and that is
the core of a bit of lawn. Our hard
est brain-workers ought one and all to
be tinned out to grass, with sermon
on “ The Landscape Mower as a Means
of Grace. ” The handling of such an
instrument as Mr. Hovey can furnish
for this purpose, would be the saving
of many a man of over-taxed brain.
It is a clean, and may be a constant la
bor to push about the landscape mow
er. and has the advantage of moving
about on the soil, and of moderate ex
ercise. along with exposure to the sun.

A Curious Seem* in ab u uian Village.
In the old German town of Halber
stadt there was a curious scene when
the people turned out to welcome the
return of their troops from France. A
correspondent of the Boston Advertiser
describes it:
The railroad station as well as every
house in the town, was literally covered
with garlands and tiugs intertwined
with wreaths and colors, so that scarce
ly a trace of the building itself was to
be seen. The street leading to the
town was an avenue of gayly-waving
colors, and at the entrance a triumphal
arch was erected. The soldiers were
received by a procession of the citizens,
representing tiie different trades socie
ties and corporations, an address of
welcome was delivered by the chief
justice, and a young lady, the Flora of
the occasion, after decking the regi
mental standard with a wreath of ivv,
greeted the commander, and then
placed another upon his head. The
procession then started tor , the town,
headed by the soldiers, who in their
white uniform, with shining helmets
and breast-plates and polished lances
and swords, presented a most brilliant
appearance. Behind them were the
officers and magistrates on horseback;
then followed in a large wagon drawn
by four horses, Gambrinus 1., the beer
king, seated on an immense cask, on
Ins head a crown, in one hand a seep-'
tre, in the other a ling*' glass, while
around him were Itis attendants draw
ing the beer. Next came the tobacco
wagon, decorated with cigars, and
pipes and tobacco plants, in which were
men dressed as Indians, smoking.
Those two necessaries of life to a Ger
man were followed by the gardener’s
wagon, loaded with flowers and bou
quets, and in the centre, under a cano
py, was seated the Flora before men
tioned.
Then came the bakers and confec
tioners, the cabinet-makers, carrying
poles on which wore fastened various
articles of furniture in miniature, and
dangling from file tops as long shav
ings as each one had been able to make.
The batchers followed on horse-back.
The hatter* had made an emblem of
their profession of colossal dimensions,
on which was inscribed the idea that
at last Germany was united under one
hut. There is a German proverb that
no one can be a tailor who weighs more
than seven pounds, and it needed no
banner with inscription to distinguish
tins class, for a hauler set of men than
the German tailors universally are it
would be hard to find. And so the
procession moved on. Shoemakers with
an enormous boot, chimney-sweeps in
velvet, machinsts with miniature en
gines, carpenters with tools, garlanded
oxen, men, women, and children from
all the towns and villages for miles
around, till at last it halted in the
cathedral square, amid the ringing of
bells and flu* thunder of cannon.
The Legal Tender Cases.
In the United States Supreme Court,
on Monday afternoon, Justice Clifford
read a brief paper on the legal-tender
cases, Knox vs. See, and Parker vs.
Davis, as follows:
In these two cases two questions were
heretofore directed to be argued, name
ly; First, Is the act of Congress
known as the legal-tender act constitu
tional as to contracts made before its
passage? Second, Is it valid as appli
cable to transactions since its passage?
These questions have been considered
by the Court, and both have been de
cided in the affirmative. The
> decree of the Supreme and
Judicial Court of Massachusetts
in the case of Parker vs. Davis
is therefore affirmed, and the judgment
■of the Circuit Court of the United
State- of the Western District of Texas
is also affirmed. The Chief Justice,
with Associate Justices Nelson, Clifford
and Field, dissent from the majority of
the Court upon both propositions and
i the result, holding that the act of Oon
-1 gross, so far ns it is applicable to con
tracts made before its passage, is re
pugnant to the Constitution and void
so far as it is applicable to contracts
made since its passage. The opinion
of the Court, and the reasons for the
dissent, will be read before the close of
the adjourned term.
In Dunning against Sears and others,
two cases from the Supreme Court of
Michigan, the contract was for the de
livery of a specified weight of gold
solvable as coined money. The Court
below held that they were discharged
by the payment of Treasury notes
equivalent in market value to the value
of coined money of a stipulated weight
of pure gold. This Court reverses that
judgment, holding that it should have
been entered for coined dollars and
parts of dollars, in accordance with the
decisions in Bronson vs. Rhoads and
Butler vs. Harwitz- seven Will, 229
and 258. Justice Strong delivered the
opinion.
Ik a sheet of paper on which a key
has been laid b ■ \posed for some min
utes the amvsh-ue and then instanta
neously viewed in the dark, the key
removed, a faded s] eetre of the key
will be visible. Let this paper be laid
aside for many months where nothing
can disturb it, and then in darkness be
laid on a plate of hot metal, and the
spectre of the key will appear. This is
equally true of our minds. Every man
we meet, every book we read, every pic
ture or landscape we see, everv word or
tone we hear, leaves its image on our
brain. These traces, which under or
didarv circumstances are invisible,
never fade, but, in the intense light of
