It was Raid that no lem a personage 1'ian Prince Erie, the son of the great nd grpd'Gttswvus, had been standing ODe morning by one of -die palace windows v to. Titr-uss a rustic procession, v ifhcladjliej'ii gotten n in honor of a ne- iOTiiortuat victory, recently won ly hia famous father; and, as he stood f -.zing listlessly out, his eyes brightened sjtddeniy, and he tamed to an at-ta-dant and whspercd a few words T'bii h catt-exl him " to hasten awaj. fhea be retnrrred he was not alone 1 iiki v swith I im. Priii t o Eric's beantj-loving ejesliad len itttracted by her, as she stood t mil a group of other maidens, looking tt the gayly-dressetl columns of her onntr rmen filing by. filrej too, wtts in holiday attire; and the Wtek velvet jacket, fitting closely to her slender figure, and adorned with silver-gilt buttons, brought oat so vividly the exquisite fairness of her skin, w.th its rose-leaf tints of red upon lips and clieeks, that she looked like a being of a different sphere as she stood amid Iter mate3. Confused and blushing, she now avsited the Prince's pleasure. She dar-Hl not raise her eyen to his face. . Ifiul ahe done so, the would have been overK-ered by the earnestness of tho gaze with wliich'ho regarded her. From the moment his eyes rested npcm, Rika's face, the world held bat one "peerless woman to him. It matter-id not that his younger brothei-, pnke John, was even then in another kingdom, wexong for him a royal bride, upon whose brow rested a diadem; wh:e splendor far exceeded the 'one whnih he was to inherit npon thetleatli of bis fatlier.

England was forgotten. The peasant maid who stood before him had become the Queen of hit fancy. "Thy name, little ore?" he asked. Bike raise 1 her eyes, to the handsome, earnest face, bnt dropped them timidly as she met Lis glance. "I jjiu, . Prederikii the forester's daughflliVy-ysin- Ma jetty."

aotlilyt If the graaums Prince chose thus to address as an equal one of the humblest of his father's subjects, she knew well her position, and was to the full as proud of hr unsullisd innocence and Integrity as the haughtiest maid in the realm. Her shy rnedesty added to herbeaaty h Eric's eyes. "Where livest then, Frederika?" he 8''ed. softly; "for I would well like to send thy father a commission to fell some arees which much interfere with the eomfort of the King's tenting parties in the forest." This he said, knowing intuitively that it woold startle .Rika to give her bis true reason and Jay that he intended to tart bnt himself in 'pwst of fairer and more pnoMW awwih aunt bf

insnared in tenderer toils than those at the command of the keenest sportsman at his father's oourt. After a few words more he suffered Kika to go. Bnt the sweet memory of her presence went not with her. It nestled deep within his heart After this interview, scarcely a week passed that did not find Eric's steps turned in the direction of the forester's cottage. A glass of milk, from Hika's own white hands, was the draught most preferred by the royal hunter although, ont of courtesy, he would sometimes accept a mug of mead from the sturdy old father. Matters were in this stage at the time our story opens. The nuts, were gathered, and the

merry groups had dispersed to their

various homes, witn the understanding that they should meet again tho next day and go together to the palace and dispose of their treasures. The next morning found them on

f their way, dressed in their best, as be

came so eventful an occasion in their usually monotonous lives; for royalty has such ' a glamor to uninitiated eyes' that the mere sight of the walls which shut it in is eagerly coveted. It was a pretty sight to any one who might have been stationed at the window, to see that blooming procession of neatly dressed lads ' and - lasses, as they wended their way along with mauy a merry laugh and jest, until at last they halted in the great square before the

Lpalace.

But to the watching eyes of the Prince who had received a hint of the com

ing of tho nut gatherers there was but

one face worth looking at among the

throng.

"Come," he said to the courtiers who

were standing near, "let us go down to the square in a body and make the

hearts of yon merry rustics even merrier to-day by exchanging some coins for the

nuts they nave with them.

A Prince's suggestion never lacks for

listeners nor for followers: and soon

the rich toilets of the court people were scattered about amid the crowd in the

square. trie's steps were turned at once toward Kika. He soon possessed himself of her nuts. and. after paying for them lavishly in golden coin, he took from an inner Kcket a locket and chain, whieh he gave to her, saying: "Wcsr it for my sake. There is no one who would look fairer in it. ion ought to be a Queen, and I will yet .nake .von one." Before Rika had time to realize aught hut that his words had filled her heart with a bewi'dering sense of happine s. he had gone, his sift alone remaining to

prove that she hud uot been dreaming. But she soon came to her sober senses. It was well known that King Gustavus had been holding negotiations with the maiden Qneen of England, to induce her to bestow her jeweled hand upon his elder son, and it had reached Rika's ears. : Such a thing had been known as a maid of low degree being wooed and won by a royal suitor. The tale of Grisel's happiness, and of her woes as welL wa a favorite one among the folkstories told around the humble hearths of the peasantry; and, if fate had ordained it to happen to her also, Rika would have been as glad and proud a maiden as ever the sun had shone on. But she would listen to no'words of love from one whose hand was as good as given to another. Thus she thought as she walked slowly homeward. So the next day a little barefoot -d boy the child of a neighboring farmer was sent to the palace by Rika with Prince Eric's gift, carefully tied up in a piece f linen cloth, jut from the corner of a web, which she her-elf had woven from flax rarsed from tho seed, and prepared by her own deft hands. Could the unconscious trinket have told Erie that Rika's bright eves had lingered lovingly and regret fullt. upon it, and that she had pressed it to her red lips ag.iin and again, it might have lessened his chagrin in receiving his present back again. As it was, it only kindled anew his determination to win Rika for his own. 1k the consequences what they might. It should not be said of him that a lowly pe isant girl had given him, the Crown Prince of Sweden, such a rebuff. He threw a large cloak over his rich court suit; and, thus disguised, h mounted Olaf, his favorite hunter, and hastened toward Rika's home. Hot onger was contending with his love for the rustic beauty as he ' rode along. But when he at last reached the 1 orders of the cleared patch of land in the forest which held the little cottage, had dismounted from his horse and tied him to a sapling, and found h raaelf standing at the door, awaiting his answer to his rap, all was forgotten but the thought that he was soon to gazo upon the beautiful face which had haunted his fancy so persistently since fate had first brought it before him. Kika opened the door and stood for an instant in glad surprise, gazing up into her lover's face in utter forgetfulness of the difference in their stations. "Ah ! little one, thy face for once tolls me all that I wish to know. Thou lovest me 1 I see it in those eyes. " And before Rika had time to retreat be caught her to his heart and imprinted passionate kisses npon her trembling lips. She drew herself from his encircling arms, and stood panting like a frightened fawn. Then she threw herse'f at his feet, and, cl isping her hands entre .tingly, She said: "Oh, most noble Prince, let it not be puH egainst thy record th it innocence an.l virtue received no respect at thy hands! Go, I entreat you! Should my lather return and find (hee h re, he would surely first kill me, and fien kill himself, in shame and de pair! Oh, go!" ' "I mean thee no harm, Rika. I love thee; and when one loves he hurts not the object of that love. To win thee I will give up my heirship to the crown to my bothcr John; and while he wears the diadem upon his brow, I wi 1 content myself with love and happiness with thea," "Not so, noble Eric," said Rika, firmly. "If thou wonldst make such a sacrifice, I, 'or one, will not be a party to it After such a marriage entailing, as it would, so much loss love woul I prove but a transient guest wi hin our home- Beproaehes would drive t.io tickle god away." "Tell me the truth, Rika "interrupt d Erie, with passionate earnestness; "do you love ms?"

"So well that I would rather die than know that harm would coino lo one S3 noble through any influence of mine." "And yet you reuse to make mo ha'-py?" "I refuse to work your ntin, nobis Prince. The present is not all of life. But see the sunlight has already reached the middle point of your dial I In ten more minutes my father will 1 hi here. If thou wouldat shield me from harm, go." "I will obey now, bnt I will not promise to give up the hope which lured me hither. Farewell for a time, most obdurate maiden." Then, with a long, lingering, regretful look, the Prince turned and departed. Days and weeks passed on. At last came a time which was to plnnge the nation into mourning. The good and gaeat Gustavus was stricken with a mortal illness. He died and was laid beside his kingly progenitors, and Eric was the reignin' sovereign in Sweden. Yonng, impulsive and his own master, with his hcait filled with but one ininga, p it to be wondired at. that he suffered no obstacio to delay his union with the maiden of his love, after the days of his mourning were fully accomplished, and that the pretty nut-girl of Sweden became its crowned Qinjen? Search the annals of history, and you will find the romantic story of tho marriage on record, adding still another folk-tale to those the country maidens toll over to each other at that witching time between davlight and starlight.

when all nature is going to rest, and. young hearts are attuned to sympathy with all true lovors.

Why Boys Leave the Farm. Numerous writers have been heard from npon the question of why boys leave the farm, and the suggestion has been made that one reason is that the rising generation is Incoming depraved. This is not true. They do not leave the dear old farm, where industry and virtue have their eternal abiding place, to mingle with the mad follies of city iife. Boys do not desert tho quiet lioruesteiul, and the fond parents, whose life has been devoted to their children, for reason that they want to mingle in the giddy whirl of metropolitan life and become sharks in business

and immortal soeietv stars.

No farmer boy ever forgot in his suc

cessful years the quiet homo, the sturdy

labor or the numberless attractions of

that old farm, and during the cores and perplexities of commercial or professional life in a great city thcro is forever in his heart that picturo of content

ment and rest, that haven secure from the storm-tossed billows of uncertain trade and the snares of an artificial existence.

Other reasons as varied as the human

mind lie at the bottom of this dissatisfaction. The same causes, perhaps, never led two different boys to desert the rural home and flee to "the citv.

We can state why we left the old

farm if it would contribute anything to science or aid in settling a long agitat

ed question.

Our last season on the farm was an

unfortune one. The frost didn't get out of the ground till haying, and just as the season opened, the old bay mare became a parent, and tho spring plowing had to be done with a fractious pair of mules. We had just become attached to these mules and felt a friend

ly interest in them, when a little incident occurred which changed the

whole current of our life.

We decided one day to roach the iron-

gray mule in order to give him his chic and tone. It would take too long to give the particulars of this occurrence, but suffice it to soy that during our convalescence wo went into town and secured a position there. We did not plunge into the false gaiety of town bocause we-loved it or lieeause we shunned

the solemn calm and holv hush of na

ture in that beautiful valley where we had spent many happy years. Those who accuse us of that, do us an injustice and cast upon us an insinuation which is ill-deserved and unfair.

The life of a farmer boy is clouded

with many nameless annovances of

which the great heart of traffio wots not. He wlio has not passed through it, onght not to write about it, for he cannot deal with the trouble understandingly. If you have lieen a farmer's son and have swung an old sevthe

all the forenoon and come home at noon hot and hungry, wear

ing an old pair of overalls, of

which you are a little doubtful, and an open back shirt, with your sunburn

ed spinal column s ticking out of it clear down to your waistband, and found on your arrival a sweet little citv dumpling dressed in cool muslin "there to greet you and look you over, and smile at your custom and appetite, you can say something perhaps. If you have bent your aehiug form over a two acre field of Early Rose potatoes all day, feeding Paris-green to the voracious striped potato-bug, and. then milked nine cows and lalored with a primary class of nine calves, trying to teack them how to drink, and experienced the rural joy of being butted over into the encumber patch by each one bf them, and then crawled' into vonr bed with sun-peeled nose and 'blistered hands at night, you know a farmer boy's communion with nature. It is true that machinery in every department of agriculture has lent a charm to it on paper, but still it 1ms its drawbacks and its sorrows. God forbid that tho memories that cluster around the after life of a farmer boy should bo lost or eradicated, but there are little incidents of our career on the farm that we are endeavoring with great zeal to forget. They come up before us yet sometimes, and in the dead hours of the quiet night we seem to bo once more kicked through the barn door by that hoary old mule, or in our dreams we are out" in the midst of haying, pitching the fragrant grass and rattlesnakes and bumblo-bees, and crickets, up into the hot hay-mow as we did in our boyhood days. We like to hear the curfew toll the hour of parting day, and we also like t o see the lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea, but that mad hunger for life in the hot harvest fields and the thrill and excitement of dawdling away our time around a thrashing machine is gone. Who will say that is because we fhun the purity, and honesty, and industry, and $1 per day of the farmer's life? Let h'm who accuses us of that, step into the Jinortitrtnuj office and we will give him some more reasons, which lack of space at this time forbids. BUI

Proniotlns Milk. The following from the London Live Stovk Journal is a good statement of some practical points suggesting the extent to whieh milking qualities ore dependent on treatment and traiuing: "A copious flow of milk, sustained through many months, is a quality which has been produced by art in domestication. Wild cattle rarely provide more than enough milk to rear their

own offspring, and the flow of it Li of i go on, until postofflce

comparatively short duration. Small in volume, the mill: is rich in quulify, but the lacteal oigans soon dry !ff again. This, of course, is in harmony with the requirements of the young animals in a wild state, nnd is a correlation of the roving life and hap-hazard feeding of the damn. More milk than the calf requires uniler such conditions would be a waste of material energy which nature does not encourage. It would, moreover, be an encumbrance to the mother. Wild cattle are neither good milkers nor good fatteners, and ia parts of England whore calves are allowed to run with their domesticated dams generations after generations, the breed of such animals is not famous for milk -giving. Like fcnat of the mare aud ewe, the milk is smaller in quantity,

rich m quality and of short duration

visions are wise Ones. For it is evident to anvone who has given the subject

careful thought, and it is especially evident to any person familiar with the workings of the postal service, that a similarity between the names of two posUifticbs is a cause of great confusion and many delays of mail matter, aud it is equally certain that it is a great hardship to business men, and a great loss of time to them to lie obliged to cover their envelopes with such names as Tooleslwrough, Boonesborough, Grifflu's Cross Roads, Marshalltown, etc., when Tool, Boone, Grillln, Marshall, or some such shorter name might as well lie written. Let tho good work

imir.es. can be

written on ordinary six-inch envelopes,

and thousands of practical and unsentimental business men will rise up and call the Postoflico Department blessed. Des Moines Rrghter. Cost f Scotch Shooting Grounds.

Altec her Veins were opened ind the preserv-i ing fluid injected, the corpse took on an almost life-like exprca dm. Color mm into the cheeks, the limrH were pliable, tho breasts were firm, and the suceesa of f.he whole exutriment was so rerm.rk-

ablc that the body was placed on exhibition and visited by thousands of io-' pie. Bnt, while all this was going on attb undertaker's, things wore not so plwsant in the family of Mr. Clark, . A few nights after the suicide, And while the excitement over the wondrous , preservation of the corpse was at iUt

height, Mrs. Clark, who had retired ear'y, won awakened by a curious sensal ion. Although tho air of the room had been hot and clog. before when she awoke, it now had tho chilly feeling of ; a vault for the reception of the .dead, Starting np, with her fte-ih fairly creeping, and while the ail seemed fall of ft mysterious rnstling of unseen garments, Mrs. Clark noticed a white figure by Iter bedside. The outlines were but dimly defined in the da-knew, but nhe at once saw it was Nellie Coleman; with her hair streaming about her face, and wringing Her hands. As soon as the ghostly visitor saw that Mrs. Clark vac awake, it spoke, in an unearthly voice, ad follows; . "Oh, Mr. Clark, for God's sake hava

them bury my body. I suffer terr.bU . agonies while they have it lying there." Saying this, the figure sank slowly to the floor and d e appeared. Mrs. tlark was so frighteitod that her teeth' cftattered, and it wai neary an hour before; she awoke her husband and foldhim of the visitor from the other world. "He, man-like, tried t laugh it off, bnt. she would not be quieted, and remained awake the rest of the night, ' ' A few nights afterward the ghost ' came again, and pleaded even more fiteously that Mr. and Mrs. Clark wcJdiutercede to have tk body taken f:-om the experimenting undertaker and buried.
