Ottillia Wviitlcldt was a SwcdiIi irirl,who might, indeed, hare been fairly taken as a teiiuiiiiic symbol ol Sweden andthe fair-haire- d .North. I think if an art-ist were to seek fur a type and emblemof Swedisli womanhood, lie could hardlylind a purer and more charming representative ot it than this lianuaonie girl.She had smooth golden hair, not of thetawny tow which has grown to be sucha favorite just now, but so smooth and

that it reallv looked like deadgold-lea- f on each side of her white fore-head. HcrTace had a clear, decided out-

line, with features regular, but somewhatlarge, and her-oye- s were deeply blue, agenuine and unmistakable blue. OneHnds it hard to think of a Madonna in anorthern climate; but if there could besuch a thing conceivable, Ottillia mighthave passed as a fair embodiment of aScadiuaviau Madonna. She lived inStockholm with her frtlher, and had nomother, brother or sister. Her fatherhad married very young and was still sofir removed from an v appearance of age,and was so constant a companion of hisdauguier, mai people saiu neinigtit navepassed for her cider brother; and hewas always pleased to hear tins said, andrather promt of it.

Ottillia's father had one or two markedpeculiarities. He was for one thing anardent republican. Not that he had anyobjection to the government of Sweden,or to the descendant of Beruadottc, Os-

car the First, who sat on the throne during the early manhood ami nrime ofChristian Westfeldt, or to Charles theFil'ieenthjWho succeeded him, but that hewas a sincere and impassioned votary ofrepublicanism, ueing a votary ot re-

publicanism, he was naturallv a devotedadmirer of the United States. At alltimes mid in every civilized country,since the days when Wa-hingi- La-

fayette anil ivosciusko fought side byside, there can bo found a group, orgroups, or masses ot thinking men, towhom the republic ot America lias al-

ways shone like the polar star of freedom. For there are two distinct claosol republicans in niouarchi.'il, and moreespecially in despotic countries. Theone class have always been captivatedby the gutter, the lyrical splendor, thelolly, vague aspiration, the majestic,unsubstantial pageant of human broth-erhood, which belong to what i maycall, for want ot a better phrase, Frenchrcptiblicam.Hiii. llio other have alwaysfound their ideal in the simple, solid, unpretending, almost prosaic truth andreality ol the American republic. I won-der it all Americans are aware of thefact that in uverv Kuroneun State, however small, there are, and for generations always have been, men bound to-

gether, often unconsciously, in the bondsof a brotherhood almost like that olfreemasonry the brotherhood of devo-tion to the American republic.

Christian Westfeidl was one of these,and bis daughter Ottillia imbibed all hissentiments, and reproduced them witheven a more passionate and romanticlingo about them. Moreover, her latherand herself were intimate friends of thegood and true Frederika Bremer, thatsvuiooi in literature aaa ine ol tiusimple, of the beneficent womanhood ofthe North; ami Ottillia, brought up al-

most at the feet ol Miss Bremer, hadlearned from her to love many placesand people iu America as if she hadseen and known them.

Ottillia led a singularly calm and hap-py lile nil to hercigteentii vear. Indeed,existence seemed to lie before her smoothand calm as a quiet inland lake. Herfather's modest means sufficed to keepthem becomingly in the unpretentious, in-

telligent, cultured, social circle to whichthey belonged. She was soon to bemarried t one whom she dearly loved

a gallant, brave young Swede, who hadbeen educated in one ol the military academies, and was to have been an officer ofnirmeers. but had given tin :: militarv

careerat the express desire of Ottilliatnd her father, and was now becoming asuccessful man in railway and other en-

gineering ofa civil kind. Nothing what-ever occurred that even threatened adanger to the happiness of these tranquillovers until the early part of the year1S6I.

Do 3ou remembor that fine passage inone of Macaulay's essays, in which heillustrates the wide-sprea- d, almost uni-versal discord and slaughter caused bythe reckless ambition of Frederick theGreat, and declares that red men on theshores of Ontario, who had never heardof Frederick's name, scalped and tor-tured each other because of his quarrel?Not quite so remarkable, yet still re-

markable, is the fact that the politicalambition of JciTerjonDavis and his col-

leagues shattered in a moment thewhole earthly scheme of a happy, tran-quil little group living in a picturesquesuburb of the capital of Sweden.

The secession war blazed out, and Ot-tillia and her lather saw their longcherished idol about to be broken.They felt the news as they might haveleu a ltussian or rrencn invasion oiSweden. It was an evening of earlyspring that Eric Swcnson, the lover,stood with Ottillia and Westfeidl in aroom as yet only lighted by the moonand the glittering stars, and spoke ofthe treasonable conspiracy against theAmerican Union ; aud tncro was onethought, yet unspoken, in the breast of"". iet a tew, very few months, andOttillia and Eric were to be married.Eric looked at her was about to speakout his thoughts, then hesitated andshrank from it. Thir eves met. Thenit was Ottillia who apokc:'' Can we do anything, any of us," thesaid, impetuously, "for the great re-public?"

"1 can do something, cried Eric-- 'Until voa spoke I hardly dared to"'offer

"I can do something," the elder manbroke in. "I have honored and loredthe republic all ay life. Taaak beareI am not too old or too weak to fight in

her cause to-da- She has given a hometo many of our .Scandinavians. It isright we should all try tofor her. Ottillia, .you shall inarry Ericat once; nc win uikc care ol you, and Iwill go out to America and fight for theUnion."

"Never!" cried Eric. "I will go.You must stay and take care of Ottillia.I could do some good there. I couldturn my training as a military engineerto some account for the first time. Iwill do something worth doing, and makeOttillia proud of me."

ou foolisli boy, don't you think Ot-tillia would rather have you with herthan in danger?"

"Let us ask her. Let Ottillia de-cider

"Agreed, mv boy. Ottillia 'shall de-

cide.""Oh no, dear father; no, dear Eric,

Don't ask me to decide! Oh, I wish 1

had hot spoken ! I am afraid now ofwhat I have done! How could I possibly part with cither of you ? iiowcould I bear to sec our happiness brokenup.' It is a great cause. 1 wish I couldgive myself up to it; but how could Igive up my lather and mv trie:

Indeed, Ottillias sudden burst ofchivalrie energy had for the moment al-

most collapsed. Shu dreaded the thoughtofparting, really parting, from her fatheror her lover, aud her eyes wore filledwith tear and her limbs trembled.

Both the father and the lover perse-vered. One or other would go, and each

d more vehemently hiso'w.i claims.Both combined iu pressing a decisionupon Ottillia. "Come, Ottillia, mychild," said her father at last, in an ur-gent and decisive tone, " we expect ulittle firmness and a little sacrifice fromyou. Don't ask both to draw back froma good catiso to which we feel in ourhearts that one at least ought to be dedi-cated. This is the true cittso of all freemen, and all men who wish to be freeeverywhere over the world. TrulyAmerica could do well without us. Butthat is not the question; our duty i- -i notthe less clear. She could probably havodone without rtochiimbcau and even La-

fayette. One of iih must go decide, Ot-

tillia and remember Eric is to be yourhusband!"

"Yes, decide, Ottillia!" and remem-ber that my rival in this dispute is vnarfather."

Ottillia's iicart beat fiercely and hereyes grew dim, and for a moment she.could not see or speak. But, if shemust choose, her decision was clear.!Sho made, one or two efforts to speak ,

and failed; then, at Ian collected ail?.!..I horstrength and sense, and said :

"Father, dear father, you "must notgo. Eric, my own love, I send you '. "

Eric sprang forward ami c aught herin bis arms. For the effort had over-taxed her and she was falling in a faint.

Before a week was out Eric hKd sailedfrom Bremen. bravo little handful ofsturdy young Swedes went with him, alleager to oiler their strong arum to theservice of human freedom and of theAme.-ica- n Union. Eric, who had beenmany times in England on engineeringprojects, and spoke English fluently, oc-

cupied himself a good deal during thovoyage in teaching his companions alittle of the language. He hoped by hiand their exertions among Swedes inAmerica to raise a distinct Swedish regi-ment, which should make its mark onthe battle fields of the republic.

He was to havo written to Ultimaover eo often ; and he did writo mnnyletters full of lovo and high spirits andhope. Then there came a long blank.She expected, poor girl, every day tofind the papers full of some wonderfulexploit performed by her young hero,but tho stories of battles brought no re-cord of his deeds or his name. The lastletter she received from him was writtenon the eve of the great battle of. ntietani.Ottillia and her father followed on Themap every movement of the war. Sheknew more of its scones and its progressthan many a New York girl did. In-deed, her wholo soul was in it.

So the days, and weeks, and monthsworo on, and Ottillia never heard of herlover. She and her father hardly daredto speak the doubts aud fcar.-- t that tortured them. Mestteldt wrote to theSwedish Consul in New York, who madecareful inquiries, but could find no traceof Eric's movements, or'even of his ex-istence after Antietam. Ho had servedin the German rogiment, and his namewas returned with those of the missing.Tbe only scrap ot comfort was thatthe list of tho killed or the woanded had I

no name like his. I

"I ought to have gone," said Wot- -

feldt to himself very sadly one day. " 1 1

ought not to have left it to her decision,"he was gazing at the pale face ot hisj

daughter ' 1 ought not to have allowed !

him to :go. She would have got over theloss of me, and been happy with herhusband, ilim sho can never turgct.Her life is ruined from its very springtime."

He thought for a fear moments, andthen went over to his daughter, and tookher hand in his.

"Ottillia, my child, let me go in searchot him."

and cried, "Oh, father, dear fitthcr,let us go. Let us leave this place at once.We shall find him I kaow we shall."

Their preparations "were not verytroublesome, and they hoped to leaveStockholm on their lovo pilgrimago in afew day. But fate sharply interposedand dealt them both a kcavy, suddenblow.

Wcstfeldt, who had always seemed innoble health, was seized with convulsivespasms ono dav, asd appeared to bestrickea with Mtaetaiag Tike Bwslysis.His conditio-- , appareatly bsifcd the doc-

tors aad he became steadily worse aadworse. The very morning of the daywhen he aad his daughter were to hareleft Stockholm for teir toyage, he sad-dea- ly

calte her ever tMfcitB, ctatrhed

her hand, murmured coiivuls".velv, " Oh,Ottillia, my daughter! Oh God, watchover her!" and then sank hick andOttillia was alone in the world.

Her grief, his burial, her utter pros-tration when the excitement of freih ag-ony was over, kopt her long in Stocbolm.Tien her friends endeavored to retainher with them, and dissuade her fromcarrying out alone the enterprise thehad resolved on with her father. TheAmerican' war was by this time obviously drawing to a close. Even the London7?me5 was begiuuing to be less confidentabout the utter failure of Grant and thedisastrous retreat of Sherman. One otthe yoang Swedes who had sailed andserved with Eric, actually came back toStockholm wounded and wasted; andhe reported that Eric had long been given up ny such ol Ins compatriots as stillsurvived. Thorc seemed little use, indeed, iu Ottillias quest; yet go toAmerica and seek for her lost lover shewould. At last, to escape the adviceand importuuities of her friends she literally broke away from Stockholm ; fled,without giving any notice, or saying aword of farewell, to Bremen, and "thencesailed away acr.vss the Atlantic, morelonely and les hopeful than the wife ofCameralzumar, in the "Arabian lights,when she starts ou her brave, sad pil-

grimage, to find the husband who hadso mysteriously disappeared from herside.

When Ottillia arrived in New Yorkthe war was all over, and President Liu-coi- n

lay dead. What was this poor, soli-

tary Swedish girl, who spoke but littluEnglish, to do in this strange, vast city

in this almost limitless land whereshe had come to find an obscura youngman who had dropped out of the" sightof the living world years ago ? She tookan odd, girlish, romantic course. Shesought out an American poet and scholarwhom Frederika Bremerhad known well,and she flung herselfdown before him andtold him her story. Ho listenod withinterest, compassion, admiration ; he of-fered her a shelter with his family, andho threw alt his energy aud influence in-

to the effort to find her lo7er. Sometrace ot Eric was found at last. Ho hadbeyond doubt been taken prisoner andconfined in the fearful Libby prison. Hehad even been there untilacompartivelyrecent period. But whether his wastedbones titled one of the numberless, name-less graves ot tho prison, whether hewas among tho living skeletons at lastredeemed from bondage, or whethc- - hewas one of a few men who had succe-- Jcd, under extraordinary diinValtie', in.. -inulcing their Cscapj it seemed imnossible now to knot), Ottillia's new friendand protector did all ho could to got further tidings, but in vain. The trail ofthe missing lover was lost, utterly lost,amidst tho smoke and dust and blood oftho war's last convulsions.

"Stay with us; let this be your homelive with mj- - wife and daughters, and

bo one of our family," said Ottillia'sfriend to her, in tender, paternal tones,one evening when nil hope seemcil tohave gone of tho restoration of her lover.The poet and his wife, and the youngSwedish girl, stood together outside theporch of a beautiful country house andon a lawn which sloped gently to thebanks of a noble river.

"Oh, you are generous and kindwho ever was so generous 1 "

"Nay, as an American I owe youmuch. You sacrificed --all for our cause;do uo not owe you at least a home? "

" But, dear friends, I cannot stay. I fecithat I ought to go back to where my fa-

ther is buried, and where my Erie, if hebo alive and oh, 1 still believe he isnli-- e will snrcly one da come to seekfor me."

" But you havo written home youhave told your friends where you are?"

"Alas! no. 1 havo written to no-

body; I have not had tho Iicart to sayanj-thin- I have been absorbed only inthe one thought. I tear I spoil yourhappy home with my sadness and myanxiety."

"You shall not go back," said thejioct's wife, throwing her arm affection-ately round the girl's waist. "A'ou canhave no close or very daar frionds inStockholm, or you must hive written tothem; and wo" have, therefore, the firstclaim on you. Come, now, don't sayanymore, lou shall DC my oaugnierI will never give you to any one butEric; for, dear Ottillia, I too, believeyou will sco Eric once inoro."

Ottillia threw herself into her friend'sarms and sobbed, but felt, for the firsttime since her father's death, a gleam ofreturning brightness.

While she was thus clasped by thoprotecting friend, the poet, who stoodlooking on with moistened eyes, was ap- -

proached by a servant, who brought amessage for" him. Tho poet loved to befree from interruption at home, wa al- -

. d nl.'n Aai trtA frf1j-- . k t

he "would see nobody; ho was alwaysbeing importuned by strangers or beg-

gars, whom the lame ot his poetry orthe fame of his benevolence attracted;he was always sending people away un-

seen, and then sending the servant afterthem to call them back. "One may,"hr ncml to sir. " be visited by an anirel

mistake to send the heavenly messengeraway unseen ; " he winced a little, frown-ed, grumbled a little, shrugged h.s shoalders, and, finally, told the servant he.would see the unknown and name!esjintruder. !

Ottillia and the poet's wife did not oh-- J

serve his going only saw after a whilethat he was gone. Presently he cameback looking strangely excited.

"jily dear," he said to his wife, "theangels tare seat a visitor at last." Andhe drew her away and whispered something to her wfcereeaoB sbe started andalmost broke into a scream, and glascedinrolaatariry at Ottillia. j

Ottillia clasped tier bands and a wildcry broke from her lips.

"Oh, my dear friends, tell me, tell meat once! Have you news of Eriu 7 Is"Eric living?"

"Eric is living. Eric is here!"Ottillia made a sudden movement as

it she would rush to meet her lover, thenher knees trembled, her strength gavewar and she fainted. When she recov-ered her consciousness, Eric, brown,worn of face, and bearded, held her inhis arms.

And so her long quest and her longsorrow were over, and her lover livedand Ii.il found her again. His story waseasily, told. He hadTlanguished througha long imprisonment in Bichmond,where he had never haj a chance of writing to her or sending her u message.Just toward tho closeof the war ho hadcontrived f escape, and made his way,after immense difficulties, to the North,whence ho sailed for Europe in a slow.old, lumbering vessel, which gave aima passage cheaply. Having got nearlyhatfjprBy a :ross tho Atlantic they weredriven back to New arid thenho sailed again, and at last reachedStockholm only to lind that Ottillia hadlong left to seek him in tho UnitedStales. No one in Stockholm knewanything of her whereabouts. He raisedwhat money he could, and returned toNew York. The very first dav ot hisarrival ho heard some vagtio stiry abouta Swedish girl living under tho'shelterof tho venerable poet and scholar's roof,and he lost no time in seeking tho poetin his country home. He could hard I vput his question into coherent word'swhen, half distracted with the conflict-ing tortures of hope aud doubt, ho stoodin the poet's presence.

1 here is nothing more to be said, except that Ottillia aud Eric are. married.and settled in the United States; thatthe poet and his family hold them al-

ways in the warmest and closest friendship; and that there is far more of truthin this little story than its readers, perhaps, would at urst be inclined to suppose.

"An Editor In Heat en."Apropos to an article going the rounds,

under tho above heading, an exchangepresents tho following legend :

Unco, upon a lime, alter the demise olone of the corps editorial, he presentedhimself at tho gates ot tho Golden city,and requested admission. The doorkeeper asked him what had been his occupauon on terra tirma? lis replied thatho had been an editor.

" Well," said the watchman, "wo havea crowd of your kind hero now, and theyall came in as 'dead heads.' Ifyou piyyour passage, you can como in ; if not,you must place yourself under the con-trol of a personage you ruled so tyran-nically down below" meaning the devil.

Not having tho wherewith to go in,our brother ot the quill and scissorsposted off, aud presented himself at thehead of Cloetie's dark domains. A very

gentleman stood sen-

try, and asked, in a gruff'voicc, "Whoconies?"

"An humble disciple of Faust," wastho calm reply.

" Then hold in ; you can't be admit-ted," exclaimed the gentlem-- in black,evincing considerable agitation, andfiercely scowling upon him.

" Why not? " demanded tho typo, whobegan to get somewhat bullish, mid look-ed" around for a "sheep's foot," withwhich to force an entrance.

" Well, sir," replied his sablo majesty," wo let ono of your profession in heremany years ago, and he kept up a con-

tinual "ro with hi former delinquentsubscribers ; and as we have more of thatclass of persons here than any other, wehave passed a law prohibiting tho admis-sion ol any editors, only those who haveadvanced our interests in their papers ouearth, and even tboe wo keep in a sep-

arate room by themselves. You havepublished many things operating againstus, and always blamed the devil witheverything tfiat went wrong, so youcan't come in. We enforce this rule without regard to person, for our own peaceaid afc:y. Now travel."

Casting a droll leer on the outsidesentinel, onr typographical frietid startsl on again, determined to gel in above.

Thi time he took an old file of bis paper,prc-enti- it to tbe guardian of the Ce-

lestial city, requested that it might bocarefully examined, anil they could secwhether he was entitled to a free ticket.In due course of time the conductor camealong and took him in, telling htra thathe had been a martyr to Uiecaueof haman improvement, and that resolutionshad been passed to admit all members ofthe art preservative, who bad abused thedevil down below. He added, that asthey were punished enough by beingwith the devil, all their lature punish-ment is commuted. He farther statedthat not one delinquent newspaper sub-scriber could be found in Heaven.

A laaatr Ml af tetemts la she SataraHstt.The glaciers of Greenland bring no

debris from the interior; and the shortvalleys through --which they reach thosea rarely unite. The surface material

which is inconsiderable, aud Seldomtakes the form of a meJial moraine to-

gether with that at its base, is floated oJby tbe detached bergs, which not unfre- -

2aeitly capsize in the inlets, and tnuaat least, the geaier part off their

burden before reaching; the open sea.Hence, could tho submarine surface hinspected, it would in all probability bofound to consist of tenacious clay, int.bedding a long lino of boulders, "shells,and bones of seals and other marine anlmats. This matter must frequently bu

by the enormous momentumof icebergs grounding upon it. Dr.Brown mentions the ease of a berg, whichin 1807, he observed at the mouth ofWaygatz, carrying a block of rock that,even at a distance, looked as largo as agood-size- d house.

Greenland, though so intensely cold,and apparently so cheerless, is full of interest to tho naturalist, and by nomeans without profit to the merchant.The outsorting land support a luxuri-ant growth of from 300 to 400 speciesof plants, soma of w hich asvend to theheight of 4,000 feet; many species of

cmTs, and whulvs and fish sport in thewaters, which are also occupied by

nnlmals aud seaweeds: everyrock swarms with waterfowl, while landbirds from the south visit the cout.try as aresUng-plac- o ; countless herds of rein-de- er

browse in sonio of its valleys, thebark of tho fox is to bo heard even iuthe depth of winter; and tbe polar bearmay be seen all tho year round. ThoDanes, at their first visit, tound a humanpopulation there ot SO.OQO; and withintheir own possession thcro is at presenta healthy, intelligent, civilizvd race ofhunters'of not less than 10,000 souls.Exclusive ot home consumption, the anmini exports of the settlements, amount-ed iu 135 to 'JfiC'J barrels of seal oil,I7,b00 seal skins, 1,714 fox skins, 31bearskins, 10 1 dog skins, 3,437 lbs. ofeiderdown, 5,'J0d lU.of feathers, 438 tea.ot iiar-wha- ivory, 61 lbs. of walrusivory, anil 3,50d lbs. ot whalebone

Geologists hnvo long taught that atleast tbe west coast of Greenland isslowly sinking below the sea. This doc-trine is confirmed by Dr. Brown, whrecapitulates tho principal points of theevidcuco on which it rests. ' Tho follow,ing are among tho facts he enumerates:Near the end of the last century a smallrocky island was observed to be entirelysubmerged at springtide hlh-wats- r, yeton it were tho remains of a house, risingsix feet alovo the ground; fifty yearslater tho submergence had o far increased that the ruins alone were everabove the water. Tho foundations of aaold storehouse, built on an island ia1770, nro now dry only at low Mater.Tho remains of native lioucs are in onelocality seen beneath the sea. In 1758the Moravian Mission establishment wasfounded about two miles from linker-outse- t,

but in thirty years they woreobliged to move, at least once, the poetson which they rotted thoir large amtaktor scal-nki- n boats. Some of tho postsmay yet be seen under watr. Thedwellings ot several Greutiland families,who lived on Savage I'oJnt from 1721to 1735, are now overflowed by varftide. In one locality, tho ruins of oldGrcoiiland houses are only to l seen atlow water. Tl.t Popular'Sdrnee IUvUv.
