sehen wie es da steht ohne Kopf und die Hande gen Himmel gestreckt. Alles dieses war sehr interessant aber nicht heiter und wir Kehrten es gern den Rucken und freute.n uns sehr in den hellen Strassen zu finden und G. E. B. R. gluckliche Seute zu sehen. THE SPRING OF YESTERDAY. It was spring—fresh, beautiful spring. The birds in the trees proclaimed it; the dandelions smiled it; all the fowls in the old farm yard nodded ap¬ proval on viewing the new gowns of their companions. But there was one into whose heart spring had not entered—this was Cora, very much out of sorts with herself and the world in general. “Well, I might as well get those dishes done right away,” she said to herself. “And there are those horrid stockings to mend, too. Oh, dear! I don’t see how small boys can wear out stockings so fast.” She heaved a deep sigh as she went inside and fell to work. But in a few minutes she remembered the apple sauce to be taken to poor Mrs. Brown, who was very frail and needed all the strength she could get to care for her large family of children. Cora, feeling too cross and ungrateful to enjoy anything, sallied forth into the bright morning. It was amusing to note how many things were displeasing to her: the road was too muddy, the birds were too noisy and the mountains, far away, seemed cold and distant. Her musings were suddenly cut short by her arrival at the Brown’s back yard. Here Samuel Clemens Joseph Brown was just starting a shoot- the chutes. A small hill sloped gently from the back porch and at the bot¬ tom of this was a shallow pond. Samuel had just poured a pailful of water down the muddy path, and sitting on a board, he was proceeding to make the trial trip. With one delightful yell he hit the water. But alas! Instead of shooting to the other side of the pond he went ker-splash, face downward, into the muddy water, whence he soon emerged, spluttering, dripping, angry, amid the gibes of the others. “How’d you like it, Sam?” “Gee, ain’t he m-ad though!” And Skinny Jones, just arriving on the scene, began: “Smarty, smarty. Gave a party, No one came, But a-” Can t you keep still, you crazy? We’re tryin’ to hypnotize Mandy Jane, and we can’t do nothin’ when you’re hollerin’ that way,” came from a group

DER DOM ZU MERSEBURG. Der Merseburger Dom ist einer der interessantesten Kirchen in ganz Deutschland. Es wurde mir geraten ihn zu sehen. Weil es gerade Sonntag war alsich ankam hatte ich gelegenheit dem Gottesdienst bei zu wohnen. Nach der Predigt fuhrte uns ein Diener durch den Bau und zeigte uns viele interessante Reliqien, wovon die meisten aus dem vienzehnt ' en Jahr hundent stammtin. Die Orgel welche 5876 Pfeifen hat ist eine der groszten Europas. Die Pfeifen Konnen aber nicht alle gheischzeitig gespielt werden sonst wurden die Tenster zerspringen. Die sitze in der Kirche wurden im vierzehnten Jahr hundent von Monchen geschnutzt. Dann gingen wir hinunter in die “Gruft” worin die Sarge einer Anzahl verstorbener Bischofe Platz finden. Die Sarge waren aus Bronze gemacht. In einem Glass-schranke hingen einige von Alter zerfallen Kleider. Eins davon war ein Rock den Martin Luther getragen hatte. In einem Glass- Kastchen lay eine ausgetrocknete Hand. Es war die Hand die einem Rivalen Kaiser Heinrich’s des vierten in einem Gefacht bei der stadt abgeschlagen wurde. Als man ihm die Hand zeigte soli Er gesagt haben,” Das ist die Hand mit welcher ich dem Kaiser den eid der Treue leistete.” Im auszerem Schloss-hofe steht ein sehr grosser Vogel-Kafig der wenigstens zehn Tuss in Durehmesser miszt. In diesem Kafig wind seit hundente Jahren ein Rabe gefangen gehalten als Gedachtnisz an ein unschuliger Opfer der Ungerechtigkeit. In dem vierzehnten Jahr hundent wohnte in der nahe in einem Schlosse Bischof Thilo von Thrata. Eines Tages vermisste er reinen golden en Siegel-ring und deschuldigle seinen Diener Johannis des Diebstahls. Dieser beteuerte seine Unschuld aber alles Sugnen half ihm nichts und er wurde zum Tode verurteilt. Noch auf den Richtplatz rief er Gott zum Zeugen an dasz er unschuldig sei und sagle er wurde die Flande zum Himmel heben nach dem ihm der Kopf abgeschlagen geworden war, und er tat es auch wircklich. Einige Jahre spater fand ein Dach-decker als er dasz Dach eines der sieben Turne ausbessente den Ring in dem Neste eines Raben, und brachte ihn dem Bischof. Voller Reue befahl dieser dasz hinfunt fur ewige Zeiten ein Kabo gefangen gehalten werden solle als andenken an den unschuldig cnthauptetin Johannis. Auch liesz er i den Mauern der Gebaude, die den innern Schlosz-hof umgeben, das Bild Johannis einmauern. Jetzt Kann man 2 3

at the corner of the house, Josephine Jean, Mary Elizabeth and others were grouped about a big box on which they had Mandy Jane stretched at full length. “You see,” explained Mary Elizabeth, “we all breve deep free times, an’ then lif’ Mandy Jane wiv our little fingers, and we can lif’ her right of’n the box. We’re tryin’ it on her ’cause shes’ so fat, an’ if we’d happen to let her drop, ’twouldn’t hurt her. She couldn’t breve deep like us, nohow, ’cause she’d bust all the buttons ofT’n her dress.” Then Cora, thinking of the apple sauce not yet delivered, hastened onto Mrs. Brown. She found her seated in a plain, bare but neat room, at work on a big pile of mending. She looked ill and tired, but was very cheerful and appreciated Cora’s kindness. After a few minutes’ chat she departed. When she got outside she found Mandy Jane mournfully hunting in the grass for something. To Cora’s question she replied: “The kids lemme fall, an’ I fell so hard it bust all the buttons offn my dress, an’ I’m lookin’ for ’em now.” As Cora turned the corner she heard Samuel Clemens yell: “Bet I can back you fellers out a climbin’ on top the barn.” Turning, she saw the whole bunch go helter-skelter to accept and decide the wager. “Well,” Cora thought, “when those people can be so happy and cheerful with so much poverty and care, I’m ashamed of myself for being so ungrate¬ ful and discontented. I’ll have to hurry home now or I won’t have time to finish that mending before dinner.” How beautiful everything seemed, so beautiful in the sunshine new, and the great joy of springtime entered her heart and filled her soul with peace. R. L. B„ ’ll. A MODERN HERCULES. Our young hero was reared among the hills without companions except those of his reading. He is particularly fond of the Grecian myths. Hercules is his ideal. Often does he read the story of the twelve labors, and just as often is his imagination inflamed to the hour of activity. In this condition one evening about dusk our hero starts out with a club on his shoulder. After a prolonged search over the hills for some beast upon which to perform his labor, he reaches a road, he hears a noise, a noise not unaccustomed to the ears of the city lad—a chug, chug, chug. He crouches low at the side of the road, and as the object rounds a curve, he
