A blooming baud of peasant chil dren had gathered from far and near to have a merry day amid the nut tree?. I sav children but girl of fifteen and lads of eighteen or twenty were scattered through the chattering group. The nut harvest was a joyful time to them. The young are always attractive in a certain way. The nndimmed brightness of the eye the satiny smoothness of the complexion the happy smiles hovering around the rosy lips each has a beauty in itself: bot add to the youthful face the charm of perfectly chiselled features, and of lustrous- brown eyes looking out upon the world with an innocent wonder at the changing scenes ot loveliness so constantly unfolding them-elves before them, frame it in a mass of shining wavy gold of na ture's own crimping, and poise it upon a form so lithe and slender iu its exquisite grace that Praxiteles might have chosen it for his model and you can form an idea of Kika Bremer, the acknowledged beauty of the whole surrounding country. And there was a romantic story about her going the rounds. It was aaid that no less a person than Prince Eric, the son of the great and good Gustavus, had been standing one morning by one of the palace windows to witness a rustic procession which had been got npin honor of some important victory re cently won by his famous father. As he stood gazing listlessly out, his eyes brightened suddenly, and he turned to an attendant and whisper ed a few words which caused him to hasten away. When he returned he was not alone Rika was with him. Prince Erir's beauty-loving eye had been attracted by her as she had stood amid a group of other maiden looking at the ai'ty-dreed columns of her countrymen filing by. She. too, was iu holiday attire, and the black velvet jacket, fitting closely to her slender figure, and adorned with silver-gilt burtons, brought ont so vividly the exquisite fairness of her skin, with it rose-leaf tiuts of red upon lips and cheeks, that she look ed like a being of a different sphere as she stood amidt her mates. Confused and blushing, she now awaited the prince's pleasure. She dared not raise her eyes to his face. Had she done so, she would have been overpowered by the earnest ness of the gaze with which he re garded her. Let skeptics scoff at the tender pa-sion as they will, it is one of the moving powers of the world, and oft-times it springs to life within the heart as suddenly as the sun rises from his bed of clouds to pro claim the advent of the new da , and like to the magic glory with which his beams invest this earth is the rose-hued coloring that makes the heretofore prosaic life a blissful fairy-like dream of happiness when in the presence of the one beloved. ao it was with Trince Eric. From the moment his eyes rested upon Rika's lace, the world held but one peerless woman to him. It mattered not that his younger brother, Duke John, was even then in another kingdom wooing for him a royal bride, upon whose brow rested a diadem whose splendor far exceeded the one which he was to inherit upon the death of his father. No. In that moment Elizabeth of Eng land was forgotten. The peasant maid who stood before him had be come the qneen of his fancy. 'Thy name, little one?' he asked. Rika raised her eyes to the hand- J some, earnest face, but dropped them j timidly as she met his glance. 'I am Frederika, the 'forester's j daughter, yoor majesty.' 'Nay, not yet I crave that title, maiden. Young b'ood must have its vent, and I am glad to know that the cares of government are not likely soon to rest upon my shoul ders, broad though they be.' With a smiling glance at the stal wart frame which was acknowledg ed to be one of the finest specimens t of physical comeliness in the conn- try, as was bis face called the hand- ; somest of any prince's in Europe. J Rika curtsied respectfully, but did ' not reply. If the gracious prince chose thus to address a an equal one ! of the humblest of his father's sub- ! jects, she knew well her position, and was to the full as proud of her unsullied innocence and integrity as ttia I. nnr-l. A?.-, -w. I A S. .1.,. .-.! I .uc uau"iincsi ujhiu iu iijc rcaiui count she her ancestry back for many generations. Her "shy modesty added to her beauty in Eric's eyes. 'Where livest thon, Frederika?' he asked softly, 'for I would like to send thy father a commission to fell eome trees which much interfere with the comfort of the king's hunt ing parties in the forest.' This he said, knowing intuitively that it would startle Rika had he given her his true reason, and said that he had intended to start ont himself in quest of fairer and more precious game, which must be en snared in tenderer toils than those at the command of the keenest sport man at his father's court. After a few words more he suffer ed Rika to go. But the sweet mem ory of her presence went not with her. It nestled deep within hie heart. After this interview scarcelv a week passed that did not find Eric's steps turned in the direction of the forester's cottage. A gtass of milk from Rika's own white hands was the dranght most preferred by the royal hunter, altho out of curiosity he would sometimes accept a mug of mead from the sturdy old father. Rika had still the same shy ways, and Eric found it hard to break through the reserve which had thu far proved her safeguard in his presence. If ehe knew in her secret heart what was the attraction which so constantly broujrht the youug prince to the cottage, she let no one be the wiser for her suspicion of the truth. This was the romance connected with her life. It was even rumored that Eric had serious intentions toward her, and lacked but his royal father's consent to raise her tohisown lotty position. But that was mere surmise. Like all similar tales it bad gained in vol ume until the grain of truth which was its nucleus was almost entirely hidden by what was false and imag inary. Matters were in this stage at the time our storj opens. The nnts were gathered, and the merry groups had dispersed to their various homes, with the understand ing that they should meet again the next day am! go to the palace to gether and dispose of their treasures. The next morning found them on their way, dressed in their best, as became so eventful an occasion in their tmuplly monotonous live : for royalty has such a glamor to unini tiated eyes that the mere siirht of the walls which shut it iu is engerly coveted ; and who could tell but they might catch a sight of the king him self, or of the queen or of the hand some Prince Eric? Xay, who knew but what another summons to the palace might come to one of them, a i it once did to Rika. It was a pretty eight 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 many a merry langh and jest, until at last they halted in front of the great square before the palace. But to the watching eyes of the prince who had received a hint of the coming of the nut-gatherers there was but one face worthy look ing at among the throng. 'Come,' he said to the courtiers j who were standing near, Met us go , down to the sqnare in a body and make the nearts of vou merrv rustics even merrier to-day by exchanging some coins for the nuts they have with them.' A prince's suggestion never lacks for listeners nor followers, and soon the rich toilets of the court peo ple were scattered about amidst the crowd in the square. Eric's footsteps were turned at once toward Rika. He soon pos sessed himself of her nuts, and after I paying for them lavishly in golden I coin, be took from an inner pocket a locket and chain, which he gave to her, saying : '"Wear it for my sake. There i3 no one who would look fairer in it. You ought to be a queen, little Rika, and I will yet make you one.' Before Rika had time to realize aught bnt that his worfls bad filled her heart with a bewildering sense of happiness, he had gone, his gift alone remaining to prove that one bad not been dreaming. But she soon came to her sober senses. It was well known that King Gustavus had been holding negotiations with the maiden queen of England, to induce her to bestow her jewelled 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 hanniuess. and of her woes as well, was a favorite one among the folk-stories told around the humble hearths of the peasantry ; and if fate had ordained it to hap- j pen 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 band was as good as given to another. Thus she thought as she walked slowly homeward. So the next day a little barefooted boy--the child of a neighboring farmer was sent to the palace by Rika, with Prince Eric's gift care fully tied up in a piece of linen cloth cut from the corner of a web which she herself had woven from flax raised from the seed, and pre pared by her own deft hands. Could the unconscious trinket have told Eric that Rika's bright eyes had lingered lovingly aud re gretfully upon it, and that she had pressed it to her red lips again 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, be the consequences what they might. It should not be said of him that a lowly peasant girl had given him the Crown Prince of Sweden such a rebuff. lie threw a large cloak over his rich court suit, and thus disguised he mounted Olaf his favorite hun terand hastened toward Rika's home. Hot auger was contending with his love tor the rustic beauty as he rode along. But when he at last reached the borders of the cleared patch of land in the forest which held the little cottage, had dismount ed from his horse and tied him to a sapling, and found himself standing at the door awaiting an answer to hi rap, all was forgotten but the thought that he was soon to gaze upon the beautiful face which had haunted his fancy so persistently since fa;e had first brought it before him. Rika opened the door, and stood for an instant in glad surprise, gaz ing np into her lover's face in utter forgetfulnes3 of the difference in their stations. 'Ah, little one, thy face for once tells me all that I wish to know. Thou lovest me! I see it in thoe eyes.' And before Rika had time to re treat he caught her to his heart and imprinted passionate kisses upon her trembling lip?, She drew herself from his encirc ling arms and stood panting like a frightened fawn. Then she threw herself :t his feet, and clasping her hnnda entreatingly, she said : 'Oh, most noble prince, let it not De put against thy record that inno- j cence and virtue received no respect ' at thy hands. Go, I entreat you ! Should mv father return and find thee here, be wonld surely first kill nie, and then kill himself in shame and despair. Oh, go !' '1 mean thee no harm. Rika. I love t thee; and when one loves he hurts I not the object of that love. To win i thee I will give up my heirship to the crown to my brother John, and j while he wears the diadem npon his brow, 1 will content myself with love and happiness with thee.' 'Not so, noble Eric,' cried Rika firmly : 'if thou wouidst make such . a sacrifice, I, for one, will not be a party to it. After such a marriage I entailing, as it wonld, so much loss love would prove but a tran sient guest within our home. Re proaches would drive the fickle god away.' 'Tell me the trnth, Rika,' inter rupted Eric with passionate earnest ness; 'do you love me?' 'So well that I would rather die than know that harm wonld come to one so noble through any influence of mine." "And yet you refuse to make me happy ?'' "I refuse to work your ruin, noble prince. The present is not all of life. But see, the sunlight has al ready reached the middle point of our dial. In ten minutes more my father will be here. If thou wonldst shield me from harm, go." 'I will obey now; but I will not promise to give up the hope which invited me hither. Farewell for a time, most obdurate maiden." Then with a long, lingering, re gretful look, the prince turned and departed. Days and weeks passed on. At I i.

Search the annals of history, and yon will find the romantic story of the marriage on record, adding still another folk-tale to those the coun try maidens tell over to each other at that witching time between day light and starlight, when all nature is going to rest and young hearts are attuned to sympathy with all true lovers. Camrge With Tau-la-tlaa. The following comes from Geor gia, and its accuracy is vouched for by the stenographer who took it down: Judge was noted for the way he got mixed in his charge" to the jury. On one occasion a case was tried before him the points of which may be briefly stated thus Smith brought suit against Jones upon a promissory note given tor a horse. Jones's defence was failure of consideration, he averring that at the time of the purchase the horse had the glanders, of which he died, and that Smith knew it. Smith re plied that the horse did not have the glanders, but the distemper, and that Jones knew it when he bought it. The judge charged the jury: "Gentlemen of the jury, pay atten tion to the charge of the court. You have already made one mistrial of the case because you did not pay attention to the charge of the court, and I don't want yon to do it again. I intend to make it so clear to you this time that you cannot possibly make any mistake. This suit is upon j a note gjven for a promissory bone. I hope you understand that. Now, if yon find that at the time of the sale Smith bad the glanders, and Jones knew it, Jones cannot recov er. That is clear, gentlemen. I will state it again. If you find that at the time of the sale Jones had the distemper, and Smith knew it, then Smith cannot possibly recover. But, gentlemen, I will state it a third time so that you cannot possibly make a mistake. If at the time of the sale Smith had the glanders, and Jones had the distemper, and the horse knew it, then neither Smith, Joues nor the horse can recover. Let the record be given to the jury." Harper's Mayazine There The Cae Dropped. It wa3 uece3gftry on a certain 00 ' Cdsiou in court to compel a witness to testify as to the way iu which a Mr. Smith treated his horse. 'Well, sir,' said the lawyer, with a sweet and winning smile a smile intended to drown all suspicion as to ulterior purposes 'how does Mr. Smith generally ride a horse?' The witness looked up innocently and replied : 'Generally a straddle, sir, I be lieve.' The lawyer asked again : 'But, sir, what gait does he ride?' The imperturbable witness an swered : 'He never rides any gait at all, sir, but I've seen the boys ride every gate ou the farm .' The lawyer saw he was on the track of a Tartar, and his next ques tion was very insinuating: 'How does Mr. Smith ride when he is in company with others? I demand a clear answer." "Well, sir." said the witness, "he keeps up with the rest, if his horse is able to, or, if not, he falls behind." The lawyer was by this time al most beside himself, and asked : "And how does he ride when he is alone?" "I don't know," was the reply ; "I was never with him when he was alone, and here the case dropped. A young lady of Lincoln writes & note to these Topics, in which 8he complains of the young men of the city, and says, among other things, that they mutually "give away" to each other those girN who can be coaxed to allow themselves to be hugged and kissed, and that they even have made a list of those who do so, which is permitted to be seen by new arrivals, transient vis itors and commercial travellers. She wants to know, "What ought a girl to do about it?" These Topic have only to say that they do not not much blame a fellow for getting a kiss from a pair of reluctant lips or a coy cheek, but the girl that al lows him the privilege is a silly goose.

The minister who opened the su preme court it Auburn, Me., with prayer the other day, closed bis peti tion with the words : ''And at last may we become dwellers of that better land where there are no law yers, no judges and no courts. Amen." This seems to be a little rough on the legal fraternity. A gamin's idea of Wilde : "Who's this 'ere Oscar Wilde ?" said a street Arab to his mate.
