Still on lie goes, o'er hill rind dale On holv Sabbath morning, Unmindful of the threatening gale Or thunder's louder warning. A town he sees in passing by On old,Big Indian’s shore; And here lie s ops and leaves a sigh For poor lost Leuoer.

SELECTION^ An Old-Fashioned Fairy Story- Why the Sea is Salt, i u long wood cutter^how he die tho quern, and after he had heard how to use it he thanked the old man and went off home as fa^t as he could, but still the clock Imd struck twelve on Chrisfasm Eve before he had reached hU own door “Wherever in the world have you been?" said his old dame; “here have I sat hour af.er hour wailing and watching without so much as two sticks to lay together under the Christmas hrose.” “01)1" said the iii»vo, “I could nut get buck before I had to go a thing and v you e " the ta 11 r flitch, j Ding, when he had g.>I a drop too j limine far finer than the one in lm- mind j much, he could keep hie secret no j which his brother lived, and with he quern j the quern he ground so much l gold that he covered it with ptatei of gob); and as the tarm lay by (lie seaside the golden house gleamed and glistened far away over the sea. All Who sailed by put ashore to see the rich man in the golden house, aud to see the wonderful quern, the fame of which epretd far and wide till there was nobody who hadn’t heard ti ll of it So one day there came a skipper who wanted to see the quern, aud the first thing he asked was, if it would grind salt. “Grind salt! 1 ' said the owner*. “I should just think it could. It can grind anything/’ When the skipper heard that he said he must have the quern, cost what it would; for if he only had it he thought he should be rid of his long voyages across stormy seas fora ladiug of salt. Well, at first the man wouldn’t hear of parting with the quern, hut the skipper begged and prayed so 1 hard that at last he let him helve' it, but he had to pay many, many thousand dollars for it. >ow, when the skipper had got the quern on his back he soon made off with it. % he was afraid, lest the man should change his miud; so he had no time to a«k how to handle the quern, but got ou hoard his ship as fast as be could and set. Rail. When he had sailed! a good way oft’ he brought the quern on deck und said: “G:ind salt, aud grind both good aud last.” Well, the quern begrtrt to griud long way lirst for one t. then for i mother, but i shall sue what you shall Bn he put the quern r hie a n>l batie it first ol thought, if I keep it- till tn'rfn I can make it jrrind meat aud drink that wilMast for years. So you may fancy the quern didn't grow rusty for want ol work, and when hay harvest came the rich brother got it, but the other took care not to teach him how to handle it. It was evening wheu the rich brother got the quern home, and next morning he told his wife to go nut into the hay-field and toss while mowers cut the grass and he would stay at home a»'d get the dinner. So,when dinner-time drew near he put the quern on the kitch en table and said: “Grind herri ngs and broth ,and grind them good and fast," So the quern began to grind herrings and broth; first ot all the d!*h/*s full .then all th* t;ihsafn|l, and so on until the kitchen floor was quite covered. Then the man twisted and twirled at the qu rn to get it to stop, but for all his twisting and fingering the quern went on grinding, nud the broth rose so high that the man was like to drown. So he threw open the kitchen door and ran into the parlor; but it wasn’t long before the quern had ground the salt so that it poured out like wa ter; and when the skipper had got the all ip full he wished to stop tho quren, but which ever way htf turned it and however rnnch ho tried it was no good, the quern kept grinding on, and (he heap of' salt grew higher and highei and at htst down suuk the ship. Now, his old dame, who was in There lies the quern at the hot- ntil j the fit-id tossing hay, thought it a| tom of the sea and grinds away at this very day, and that is the rea son why th« s^a is salt. parlor full too, and it was only at the risk of his life the mao could get hold of the latch of the Irm-e door through th« stream ot broth Wheu ho got the door open he ran out and set oft’ down the road, with the stream of herrings and broth at his heels roaring like a they had got everything uioe for I long time to dinner, and at last Oh ristma* fare. He had only to she sail: Rp ak the word and the qu rn “Well! though the master ground out what he warned Th>* doesn’t call us home we may as old dame stood by blessing her stars well go; maybe he finds it hard and kept on asking where he had I w „k to boil the broth and will be got this wonderful quern, but he glad of my help.” The men were willing enough, > so they sauntered homewards; but id was full i you see the quern is a good onejjyg^ as they had got a little way laud the mill stream never freezes, U p t|, e kill what should they meet -ouldn’t tell her. “It’s all one where I got it from; Once on a time, but it w» long time ago, there were two brothers, oue rich und one poor.
