BY CELESTE HUTCHINS BAEKSDALE.
Deep down in the forest resounds the pan
ther’s mournful cry. The hoarse hooting of the
owl is heard. The sad plaint of the whippoor
will beats upon the air. Tne deer's shrill whis
tle of alarm, and the tread of hoofed feet betoken
daDger. Softly wails the sea breeze among the
quivering leaves of the oaks. Over wood and
water smiles the pale moon, and twinkle the
happy stars.
L'nderneath. and in the fierise shade of an
oak, stands a man. Now and then he moves
restlessly, and absently plucks the scarlet flow
er of the creeper that twines about the scarred
trunk of a tree. In the distance towards where
his ancestors: the gentle mother, who clung te
naciously to her ohildhood's faith; his beautiful
sister Iduna, with the sweetest face that ever the
moonbeams stooped to kiss, who followed un
questionably the lead of father, mother and
brother. Above the treetops had danced the
flames that fell upon his father's rude log house.
The stone altar, erected in honor of Odin, had
been thrown down and desecrated, and he
driven forth as a wild beast. Revenge, deep as
yonder surging sea, broad as the overarching
skv, broods in his heart.
Freya,namesake of the gentlest goddess,blind
ly seizes the faith thrust upon her. To her,
God is a dim, distant being, and altogether ter
rible in His majesty. Idnna’s Odin seems more
loveable; and the gold and silver palaces of Idu-
na's Asgard are more attractive than the cold
abode of Father Ancbar’s God. Then too,
‘We shall have a storm,' say the maideHS,
glancing apprehensively at the muttering clouds
and hurrying homeward.
Freya slips, unseen, into the forest, comes to
the trysting tree, and sits down and waits. Off
the waves and sky fades the sun's coloring, and
tha edge of the clouds lose their silver rimming.
Freya sits and waits. A wind from the sea,
with a prophetic murmur in it, bliws inland.
The distant muttering of thunder becomes more
and more distinct. Freya sits and waits. The

It is only a handful of dauntless Norwegian
emigrants who are chanting their praises to
God amid the vast wilderness, untold dangers,
impenetrable solitudes of North America. It is
hundreds of years before Christopher Colum
bus first opened his eyes to the light of this
vorld under the sunny skies of Spain. Many
centuries before England shook herself free
from her puritanical fanatics and sent them
over unknown seas to sow the seeds of their
faith upon a soil which will not give back at
harvest time derision for their trouble.
And yet, not more lanatical than are these
Norwegin colonists, who. led by a black-robed
priest, chant in Latin, from yonder rude cathe
dral, that lifts its stone bapistry from among
towering treeR.

Erik bends forward his head and listens with
the intentnes? of one of his much cherished dei
ties who hears the trees bud and wool growing
upon the lambs. On the dewy grass is heard
footsteps, and a maideD with eyes like uncloud
ed stars and hair like a raven’s wing stands be
fore him,
‘Freya!' he exclaims, stepping out from the
gloom into th6 white moonshine.
'Erik!' she exclaims, ‘I feared that thou
would’stnot come.’
‘Lovely Freya! do they know that thou art
come to meet me?'
•No, no! I crept away while they were yet
singing. It is dangerous for you, and for me to
meet. Father Anschar has forbidden me to
think of you. Ob, Erik, he says that I sin in
God’s sight in loving yon, and" yon a heathen!
‘la heathen!' in derision. ‘Our great and
mighty Odin has no more devout slave than
Erik Thiersch. When Hugin and Munin flap
their light wings over me do they not see that I
am still true to the faith of my father? Do they
not tell great and wise Odin? and has he not
had one of his beautiful Asgard palaces of silver
and gold prepared forme? and will I not sup with
him in his grand Valhalla? Often, when the
cold fingers of the North wind had laid their
icy touch upon sea and wood, did he not send
the Valdrkior to warn these profane people that
he would surely punish them for their temerity?
Did they not hang ont their scarlet banners of
death as they crossed the frozen sky by night?
These profane people will not harken. A great
calamity is to befall us. The red men throng
tne woods. Their tomahawks are preparing to
cleave the skulls of the unbelievers; and great
Thor will guide their axes. Already they bold
councils; and their warriors dance for joy
around tbeir camp fires. When Skuld comes
stalking from out the gray shadows that now
surround her, three days thick, then— then—’
be pauses.
Freva looks up in wild terror at the stern, set
face of Erik. He stands like a yc-nng Thor in
his strength and manly beauty. Out of his eyes
peep the spirit of prophecy. This savage joy
gives place to deep tenderness as he bends his
head and looks into the terrified eyes of Freya.
•Erik. Erik! Odin and Thor and Valhalla are
myths of our savage ancestry! There is but one
God! Erik, my Erik, leave the old—’
‘Seest thou that light?' he asks, throwing back
his proud head, and pointing upward to where
the moon slowly sails beneath fleecy clouds.
•Freya, that light shines in Valhalla! As yonder
light is extinguished in the thick mists, so shall
our existence no out in the mists that shall soon
surround us. Recall, oh Freya, how the warlike
maidens danced on their white steeds, and
flaunted their scarlet banners over the frozen
sky and the cold north wind! Dire destruction
is coming upon us. Soon this new land will
again be the land of the savage warriors. Re
turn, oh Freya. to the gods of our land! Cast
aside the God cf the smooth-tongue priest! Re
turn, and when the Vallkryior dance the dance
of death over us, when Urdur, Verdandi, and
Skuld are merged into one, and wa oross the
many-colored Bifrost, we shall take up our abode
in Asgard. ‘
The maiden droops ber flower-like face, bnt
answers nothing to Erik's impassioned entreat
ies In the depressing silence which follows,
the twittering of a half-awakened bird is beard.
The last echo of the chant has rolled indistinct
ly away. The break of the waves upon the
beach comes in a murmurous lullaby to them.
From the arched doors issue the people who in
habit the rude wooden structures beyond. Two
great birds come flying from the woods, flap
th-ir wings with a ghostly sound against the
stoDe bapistry. A murmur of superstitions ter
ror swells and surges over the people. There
rises a cry of ’Great Odin’s birds, Hugin and
Munin!' ‘The black-robed priest calls aloud:
‘Superstitious miscreants! have I not told you
Odin is a myth? How then can he send birds to
birds to you?’ . . .
Like the sudden ceasing o. the rising wind
die away the sounds. The birds, with doleful
sounds, like the agonizedvoice of a human, fly
directly over the heads of gentle Freya and
proud Erik. ., ,
‘Hugin and Munin! says Erik, in an awed
whisper drawing the trembling girl nearer him

Freya looks through the space between the
logs, and knows that all the demoniac passions
of a wild, unreasoning fanatic are seething in
her brother’s heart. A great fear comes over
her; and from her lips there ascends to the Yir- j dm of that past,
gin Mary a mute prayer for Erik's safety. Away
goes Thoranin into the woods, followed by
many eager to avenge the wrongs perpetrated
npon the holy father.
In the eventide Freya goes, with a sad, anx
ious heart, to the beach, where the maidens
join her. Erik 1 as always been looked upon
with great favor by these yellow-haired Noise-
girls, and not a tew openly express their disap
probation as to the course their brother’s pur
sued. Then the memory of sweet Idnna’s death
stirred the chords of bitter resentment in their
hearts.
At last is heard the well-known shout of Thor
anin. It betokens success they think. Fr6ya
feels that Erik has gone—to Asgard, to the beau
tiful palace of gold and silver, and the merry
feasting in Valhalla. She raises her agonized
eyes northward as if expecting to see the scar
let-clad Valkyrior there to announce his death.
Over the sand stalks Thoranin. To the ques
tion as to where Eric is, he answers, moodily:
■In the heart of the forest. Ere the sun sets
upon the waters a second time, he will be lying
deal among the leaves on the ground. We
know where the heathen rests.’
Night darkens again over the world. When
the moon rides high in theheavens therecieeps
a figure from among the shadows of the log hut
and makes its way to the woods. The panther’s
cry, the hoot of the owis the sudden flitting
of frightened birds, the trampling of wakefui
deer do not deter her. Freya had heard the
plans of Thoranin. She goes to warn Erik of
his danger. Silently and stealthily she speeds
under the branches of huge trees, and over fai-
over us passengers.
D-**p down in the forest the red men lay Erik
and Freya ; and only the wild flowexs that blow
above their grave are their monuments, save

Why the Pyramid was Built.
New York Times.
It was built to supply the Egyptian public with
the means o ; sliding down hill in a country where
snow never falls. The Egyptian who paid the re
quisite entrance fee was allowed to ascend the pyra
mid by the staircase, and then to slide down the
polished granite side, plunging pleasantly and
harmlessly into the sand at the foot. No sleds or
other apparatus were needed. The Egyptian sim
ply sat down on the warm and comfortable gran
ite, and slid down without any unpleasant friction.
Doubtless, this was a fashionable amusement for
both sexes and all ages, and the builders or lessees
of the Great Pyramid Sliding Bank must have
made a good thing out of it.

. A marriage has been declared null in New
York because the young man swore be was
drunk when the ceremony was performed. The
woman in the case very sensibly declined to
make any defense in the case, evidently believ
ing that the young man was not worth contend
ing for.
A sensible girl was Mary Holliday, of Howick,
Canada, for, unable to withstand the importuni
ties of two suitors to whom, iiking them equal
ly, she thoughtlessly engaged herself, she took
strychnine and died. She was a woman of un
usual beauty, and of a happy but excitable dis
position.

weary, homeless head. At last, panting, she
climbs a steep, and listens intently. The tread
of stealthy feet is beard, and Erik is with
her.
‘What has brought Freya here ?’ he asks, gaz
ing into her upturned face.
•Danger!' she breathes, resting her head up
on her white bands.
‘I know, beloved. I heard and saw them.
Dost Freya care so much for Erik’s life that she
comes alone into the heart of the wood to warn
me?’ Odin protects the faithful and innocent;
Thor preserves the brave.’
‘You know then ?’ asks Freya, like the sob
bing of breezes through reedy patches.
‘I know. I said ‘Odin steers for the best,’
when they had passed my silent retreat. Ere
tomorrow s sun rests behind the scarlet clouds
and hazy hills they hope to have my blood
painting the flowers red that smile in white to
night. I saw mighty Thoranin, and heard him
vow my death because I tossed the vile priest
out on the waves. I heard him invoke this new
god when be said you should die before you be
came mine. Silently I asked great Thor to aid
me. Tomorrow, ere the moon shall have crept
so high as it is now, when this calm hour shall
be strang upon the girdle of gaunt Urder, nev
er to be taken off, you will be mined Smile kind
ly on us, great Odin; forever we are thy follow
ers.’
Freya shrinks away from Erik’s embrace as he
utters this vcw, and stands sad and beautiful in
the moonshine. Erik bends his kingly head
crowned with golden locks, and smiles wistful
ly into her sorrowtul eyes.
" ‘The moon rides high, my Eryc; I must go,’
she says.
‘Come, then, I will go with you to the beach
and watch lest that Loki-of-a-priest does not
molest yon;’ and they slowly go toward the
beach, talking eagerly of that time when there
will be no necessity for stolen meetings. The
roar of the waters reach them; and stepping un
der a wide spreading tree, Erik takes her once
more in his arms, and says:
‘Tomorrow, when the sun reddens the west
ern sky with bis dying glance, meet me here.
If I do not oome.then I have crossed the Bifrost,
and the dusky shadows of Ragnarok will en
gulf me, and Bragi will tune his voice to sing of
my death.' One loug, passionate embrace, and i
the whispered words, ‘Tomorrow, Freya !‘ and
and Freya speeds along the white sand.
‘Tomorrow, Freya !‘ chant the wild waves, in
hollow tones. ‘Tomorrow, Freva!’ sigh the
breezes, until Freya is fearful that other ears
than hers have heard Erik's parting words.
Tomorrow dawns into to-day. Freya hears
the voice of Thoranin hurrying bis companions
off to the hunt. The sultry day drags siowly
taken. At one period I didn’t touch a drop of
liquor for two years—in fact I drank nothing
but mi!k.“ “Indeed! What two years was
that?” “My first two.”
