There were people, though, who sud tlat he came oftencr toseethcfxmct''s daugh ter on Httsaby than auyliody else. U.d Junt did sot like this talk and .aid it was sot true, for he had cerer -vta hiai lhf-n.

The first Saturday sight they all took to the cliff one faster than the other. But .till more fast they came buck, one after the other, just where the path turned the hammer. Soaac one stood and took hold of them, oabyose as they came, and wheeled thesu downward, making bis wods well remembered: lf jtu choose to come agais, you shall still be better senred." Aa far as people could understand, there was is the whole parish only ose who bad the proper hand fur such a piece of work, and that one was Tore Aeset. But all the rich farmers' son thought it rather mean, that be. the squat ter's son, should take his stand next to ' ber, Aslaug Husaby. Tue same thought also eld Junt, wbes be beard it, and thought further that if mo oj; else could master tltat chap, be would try, and those sons of bis. Junt bad begun to grow old, but although he had pa-sed the three-scure, he still liked to try a wrestling match wiib his olJe-t soa wbes sometime the company teeaied to him to becoras sleepy. Up to the Husaby grazing grounds there led only one pathway and it atarted jast in front of Husaby farm. 2fext Sat urday evening when Tore intended to take this way and already felt a little xaore quick-looted because he bad cleared the stable., one rushed upon him and grasped him by the throat. "What do yoa wastP said Tore, and threw the other to the ground so it raog through bis body. -That I shall tell you" said another and gave him a blow from be hisd: it was the brother.

Hack was spoken in the parish of that fight oa Husaby farm, but every one said : "What would be therel" there was ose, though, who did out eay so, and that was Aslaug. She bad waited fur him that Saturday night, aad whea she beard nf the meeting between bim aad ber father she sat down aad cried, sad said to herself: "If I cannot get Tote 1 shall B0t see another glad day in this world." Tore was laid up for the whole San ds v. aad oa Monday he felt that he mutt still keep the bed. Tuesday came, aad what a Hats day it was! It had rained duriBg the sight, aad the cliff wt green afresh. The window was opened and the cmell of the foli.ge drifted in. Upon the cliff the cow-bells tinkled aad somcboJy was sieging. Had it But beta for his mother who est la the room, he would bare cried. Oa Wednesday be was tjill ia bed, but oa Thursday be wondered if be could not be all right till Saturday, and on Fri day be was Hp. He remembered now the words which Junt bad said: "If next Saturday night you can cheat the old Hssaby bear aad these cubs of hit, you may bare the lass." He looked away to Hssaby faim, time after time. "I don't think there will be any more beating," he -said. There led, as above mentioned, only fie pathway up to the Husaby grazing grou&ds, but one who dared might get up -d4terettkougii he did aotgo the beaten way. By rowiBg round a small land-ship and jBeorisg at the foot of the cliff, one might fcfrt ap, though the wall was so steep that it had teldom been trodden br the goat, who cUe is not very particular about her w ay.

She sat w here she could look down into the valley, but there stood tlio mist, an! somehow she did not like either to bk down there jut now. Then she mored away, and without any more thought she came and Kit on the opjoitc side of the cliff, where she could look down over the Fjord. There came peace to ber from the long Tier of the water. Wiile she ws sitting there bo thought she should like to sing, and she cboe a song with long notes and a bnrden.which floated far away into the culm evening. She fonnd thathe liked to hear her-lf sing, and when she catue to the end of the first verse, she began the second wi-.h louder voice. Bat when she had saag that verse it seemed t her as if som boiy was answering her from far befax. "Dear me, what can it bef" the thosght, : and stepped out on the uttermost lelge, , and threw her arm around a tall birch tree winch ttood there and trembled over the a'jyss.

Bit this time sonie'oJy answered with the same tune anU mxcu nearer. As:aug sprang aP -nd ancU once mere oeer the ledtre. Then she saw a boat moored at the foot of the ciitJ; and so far below that it lo,ked like a nut-thell.

The art of listening is a delicate aad diScult art, aad one that is seldom prac ticed.

It is difficult beet use elf-a-sertioa is astural, aad a state uf rjassiveness without maaifetution of . . . . . . account of its delicacy anddtficalty, not less than fmm want of knowing how to manage it, it it the rare art in society The few listeners that understand iiitca ice are iarariably likel, even admired, sad not uufreonentlr diarm the talkers t 7df a' person foad of talking usually endows the person who listens with whatever at tributes be thinks be has himself ; and his good opinion of the litteocr grows stead ily. until sometimes it amounts to poti live worship. It is not enough to listea merely ia a negative maancr, for this ap pears like resignation, like silent suffer ing, like uncomplaining martyrdom, aad, besides, may be mistaken for stupidity, which is fatal to the littearr't hope and object. One may be at stapid at an owl in society, but hi listeners matt ditguite his stupidity If they would be accepted; and, above all, never indicate or hint to anybody tle that the speaker has any Dossibility of stupidity.
