Charles the Twelfth, of Sweden.
[From Eugene Schuyler's "Peter the Great in
. Scribner’s Monthly for January.
Charles XII. of Sweden, the son of Charles
X[,, was born in 1682, and was therefore
just ten years younger than Peter. His early
years were tenderly cared for. by his mother,
Ulrica Eieanora, a Danish princess, whose
many virtues made her, beloved by all save
her husband. Without being. precocious,
the mind of Charles was bright and active,
and it was rapidly developed under the
guidance of his tutor Norcopensis. His na—
tive _language he neither wrote nor spoke
well; German, which was then the court .
language of the North, he learned to speak
as his mother tongue; Latin he spoke better
thaneither, but he was only induced to learn
it when told the King of Denmark and the
King of Poland habitually used it. To the
study of French he always showed a repug-
nance, and could rarely be induced to speak
it, but he understood it. History he studied
eagerly, whether it treated of the deeds of
Cmsar and Alexander, or of the Reformation
and of his great predecessor, Gustavus
Apolphus. He was well drilled in religion
and morals, and showed a quick intelligence
and much power of application, though, at
the same time, great self-will and determina-
tion. His education was Well begun, but
the death of his mother, and then of his
tutor, when he was nottwelve years old,
brought changes and interruptions, and it
was not so carefully continued.
In his early years his health was delicate!
and grief for his mother threw him into a
long fever, which terminated in an attack of
small pox; but his constitution was strong,
and his passion for physical sports gave
him health and strength, and at the age of
fourteen he was tall, slim, and wiry, and
seemed almost like a grown man. He had
been put on the back of a pony at the age
of four, and had even ridden at reviews of
the troops. He speedily became a perfect
horseman. His love for hunting developed
with equal rapidity. When seven years old,
he had shot a fox, and before he was twelve
had killed a bear. His taste for military
exercises and the art of wannow took a
more decided turn, and his military education
was confided to General Stuart. His father
delighted in the promise of the lad, and loved
to take him on his hunting parties and mili-
tary inspections. In this way much time was
lost from study.' ' ' - '
In\April, 1697, Charles XI. died. By his
will, he appointed a regency under the
presidency of his mother, the Queen Hed—
wiga Eieancra, but fixed no time at which
his son should be declared of age. By cus-
tom, the majority of Swedish princes had
been fixed at_thc age of eighteen, but in the
present case there were such disputes be-
tween the regents themselves, and ameng
the nobies,——who were divided into Danish
and French factions,—such jealousy on the
nobility on the part of the other estates,
such dislike to the influence of the Queen-
mother, such a general appreciation of the
abilities and good qualities of the young
prince, and such a desire to gain his favor
by Lbeiug the first to please him, that little
Opposition was manifested to the project of
declaring him of age in November of the
same year, when he was just fifteen years
old. The plan was matured and executed
within ten hours.
Charles had given every ,reasofl for con—
fidence. Though still a minor, he had been
admitted to the meetings of the council,
and had impressed every one not only by
his good sense and quick decision, but by
his power of silence. He had at times a
gravity and determination which were far
beyond his years. During the confiagration
of the royal palace, shortly after his father’s
death he had shown a calmness and self—
restraint which were in striking contrast to
the excitement and nervousness of .the
Queen-mother and which produced a favor—
able impression on every one. No sooner-
was he declared of age, and the sole and
absolute ruler of the country, than he
seemed to change. The nobles, who had
counted on a mitigation of the “Reduction”
edicts of Charles XL, were disappointed.
The, oung King upheld and defended all
the a ts of his father. He manifested an ex-
cessive amount of self-will and obstiaacy,
and made it a point of honor never to draw
back from a resolution which he had once
made. He at the same time . wed a cold—
ness and haughtiness in his demeanor in
public which had not before been noticed.
At the meetings of the council he would
calmly listen for a whil,e__,to.thc.arguments
and statements, and then interrupt by saying
that his mind had long been mpde up. Once
having said this he would hear no more. for
his will was supreme. Some of the courtiers
took advantage of this side of his character
to flatter him, hoping thus to advance
themselves. It Was owing to this that he
refused to ue crowned in the ordinary way,
claiming that while it was proper for electep
kings to be solemnly crowned, he, as being
born to the throne,- had no need of it. In
spite of the representations of the more
conservative and moderate statesmen, in
spite of the entreaties of his grandmother,
the utmost that he would yield was to allow
himself to be consecrated by the archbishop
in order that he might carry out the Bible
injunction and be the annointed of the Lord.
Butthe ceremony was called not the coro-
nation but the consecration, and Charles rode
to the church with his crown on his head,
and refused to take the oath to govern well
and justly, . which, on the part of the rulers,
corresponds to the oath of allegiance on the
part of the subject.” The superstitious found
many omens for the future of the King and
country; there was a violent snowstorm
during the ceremony; the procession 1001“?!
dismal in the black diess required -by the
court mourning; the King amused himself
during the sermon with picking the black
specks out ofthis robe, and, worst of all, the
archbishop dropped the annointing horn,
and the crown fell from the King‘s head and
rolled upon the ground. Wise and prudent
tion oath, and in- the systematic way in
which he tried .to lower the importance of
the members of the council. Too late they
repented of having put themselves at the
mercy of a wayward and willful youth,j ealous
of his own power and careless of the rights
of others. Determined to show himself the
supreme master, Charles constantly humili-
ated the old ccuucilors and ministers by
keeping them waiting for hours in the ante—
rooms while he discussed affairs of ‘state
with his favorites, Piper and Walieustedt.
He transacted the weightiest affairs of state
without their knowledge or advice, con-
voked the Council only at rare intervals in
three years, to decide questions of law. or to
go through the form of signing his decisions,
and even went so far as to appoint a general-
issimo, to send troops out of the country, and
almost to declare war, before the Council was
informed or consulted. ,
The education of Charles was naturally
at the end. What time he could spare from
his duties as a ruler was devoted to military
exercises and to field sports. The more
dangerous the unusemcnt, the greater at-
. tractious it had for him. He took up the
idea that it was cowardly to attack beasts
with fire-arms, and went bear-hunting armed
with nothing but pikcs and cutlasses. Soon
the victory seemed to him too easily gained
even in this way, and he forbade the use of
cold flee] as well as fire—arms, and all were
armed with strong wooden forks. The
sport was to wait until the bear rose on his
hind legs, catch him in the neck with the
fork and throw him over backward, when
the huntsmen sprang out and wound a net
around his hind legs. Charles lode fast
and furiously, up and down hill, through
forest and stream. Fretluently his horse
fell with him, and he returned black and
blue. Once, the snow was so deep that his
horse fell upon him: he could not move,
and as he had far outstripped his compan-
ions, he was nearly frozen when rescued.
At another time, he rode up the side of a
cliff so steep that both horse and rider fell
backward, and it was considered a miracle
that his lifters-Ens saved: On another cos a-
sion, starting out from the palace at four
o'clock in the morning, attended only by a
page and a captain of his guards, he came
to one of the gulfs near Stockholm, which
was covered with a sheet of ice so thin from
the spring rains that, even foot passengers
scarcely dared to trust themselves upon it.
In spite of the remonstrances of his attend-
ants, he ventured upon it ud found at the
other side a clear space inter fifteen feet
wide. He could not go back, plunged in,
and luckily reached the shore. Finally, the
old equerry, Horn, summoned up courage to
remonstrate with him, and told him that
God had saved his life twice in such dangers
and would be excused if, the third time, He
did not interpose. “God has created beasts
for the service of men, but not to help them
break their 'own necks." In winter he
amused himself with sledging parties of the
most dangerous character. Sometimes the
sledges were fastened together in a long file,
and the horses were then whipped to the top
of their speed down the steep hills. Once,
Charles found a peasaut's sledge laden with
wood, and with two or three companions
mounted upon it, and set off down a steep
which had been made like glass with several
coats of ice. It was impossible to steer the
sledge, and they came up against a heavy
stake at the bottom. His companions were
severely injured; he unhurt,
The military sports were, if possible, still
more dangerous. ‘As under Peter’s direc-
tion in Russia, the sham fights in Sweden
wereficarried on with pasteboard hand—
grenades, and frequently cost many lives.
In takinga snow entrebchment, the King
had his clothes nea torn off him, and
many others were seriously injured. Some-
times there were sea fights of a peculiar
character. The boats were armed with
fire engines, and the crews with large squirts
with which they fought. On one occasion,
Arvid Horn, one of Charies’s great friends,
stripped himself to his shirt, rowed away
from his yacht in a small boat, and attacked
the King and his suite. He replied to
with such vigor that his boat soon filled with
water, and began to sink. Jumping out,
Horn swam around the yacht. Charles at
last asked him if swimming were difiicult.
“No,” said Horn, “if one is not afraid,” at
which the King immedimly jumped into
the water, but found that courage did not
make up for want of skill, and would have
drowned had not Horn caught him by the
clothes and brought him a long distance to
land. Another day, the guards were divided
into two parties, led by Charlesand Horn.
The horses were not allowed to be saddled,
and the men were armed with nothing but
stout hazel sticks. No one was-spared. The
blows given by Horn were so vigorous that
Charles, in a moment of excitement,.med
a blow at his,face, an it a boil on his
cheek. Horn . fell fainti to the ground,
and the pain and the heat combined threw
him into a violent fever, which nearly cost
him .his life. Charles repented, frequently
visited him, and gave him two thousand
thalers for his cure, promising to repeat the
prescription as often as he was again
wounded. All this Charles did, not for
amusement alone, but in order to harden and
insure himself to the fatigues of real war. ‘
He would frequently rise from bed,- and sleep
the rest of the night half naked on the bare
floor. One December, he slept three con-
secutive nights without undressing, on the
hay in the stables. Nothing annoyed him
so much as his delicate skin and fair com-
plexion. He used every means to get sun-
burned, so as to appear manly, and took a
childish pride in some pock-murks on his
face. He dressed simply; he wore a wig
until his first .campaign in Denmark, when
he threw it‘aside forever. He ate but little,
and always plain and coarse dishes. Wine
he gave up after finding its effects too strong
for his self—control. -
Cold of temperament, of love Charles
knew nothing, and cared little for the society
of ladies. Six princesses sought his hand in
vain. and the mention of marriage distressed
him.
dangerous, were disagreeable to these about
him. Their worst point was reached during
the visit of his cousin Frederick III, Duke
of Holstein-Gottorp, who came to Stockolm
in 1698 to marry the Princess Hedwiga
Sophia. The Duke was as foolhardy as his
brother—in-law, and soon acquired great in-
fluence over him. Then began what was
called the “Gottorp Fury.” They rode
races till they had broken down several
horses; they coursed a bare in the parliament
house; for days they practiced onbeheading
sheep in order to see which had the [greater
force of hand, and the greater knack with
the sword—all this, too, in the private
apartments of [the palace, till the floors and
staircases were running with .blood. This
was to the great astonishment of the passer-5.
by, for the bleeding heads were thrown out
of the windows. They. sailed into the streets
at night, and :brokc the windows of the
peaceful citizens. In broad daylight they
made calvacades from the palace with no
costume save their shirts, and with drawn
sabers in their hands. They jerked off hats
and wigs of all who came near them. At
dinner, when they had tired of snapping
cherry-stones into the faces of the privy—
councilors, they would knock the dishes out
of the servant’s hands, and then'bre’ak all the
furniture and throw the "fragments through
; the. closed“ windowls, carrying glass and
The freaks‘ of Charles, even when not~
nately, the’Duke was unable to bring Charles
to ,acts of immorality. The peophbegan to
murmur. They accusedt eDuke of wishing
to bring the King to his nth. in order that,
asdhc next heir, he might inherit the crown.
Things got to such a pass that, on one
Sunday morning, three clergymen preached
on the same text: “Woe to thee, 0 land,
when thy king is a child.” :This remon
strance seemed to effect Charles. who was
sincerely pious. When the Duke went
away be entirely changed his manner of life,
became quiet and reflective, and devoted
himself with renewed ardor to his duties as a
ruler. ‘
A year later, in consequence of the war
with Denmark, the Duke came again to
Stockholm, The follies of the preceding
year were not repeated, but in their stead
were masquerades, balls and festivities of all
sorts. ' The court of Stockholm, renewing
the traditions of the reign of Christina, be-
came suddenly the most brilliant in Europe:
except that of Louis XIV., and, ,of courfi
at enormous expense. There {were ba
which cost forty thousand thalers each,
given with so much elegance that foreigners.
declared they were unsurpassed ill Paris.
A French company played the works of
Moliere, Corneilie, and Racine during the
whole winter, and the King Was nearly al—
waysa spectatdr. There were processions
of masks through the streets, which were
covered with blue cloth. All the lords and
gentlemen followed the example of the court
not even excepting the clergy. The pastor
of the great city church, Iser, gave such a
sumptuous dinner that every one went home
with the headache. The King took no part
in the drunken bouts, but danced sometimes
until nine or ten o’clock in the morning,
which necesSitated several changes of clothes
Tessin, who arranged the court festivities
with such taste, was rewarded with a title of
nobility," and frequently went home with his
pockets stuffed with gold by unseen hands.
Again this manner of life was broken by a
sermon[ Whenlhe court clergy did not
dare to speak, Svedberg persuaded the pal—
ace. chaplain to let him occupy his pulpit,
and delivered a thundering sermon against
the project of having a masked ball ona
Sunday evening. The ball was given up.
.Just then came the news of the invasion of
Livonia by Augfitus, and the festivities were
forever ended.
The intelligence arrived when Charles was
hunting bears at his favorite country- seat of
Kungsor. It seemed to make little impres-
sion on him at the time, for he turnedio the
French ambassador, and smilingly said:
"We will make King Augustus go back by
the way he came,” and the sport continued.
When it was over, Charles returned to
Stockholm, looking firm and severe. He
said to the assembled Council: "I have re-
solved never to begin an unjust war, but
also never to end a just one without over-
coming my enemy" ; and another occasion :
“It is curious that both my cousins” (for
Augustus as well as King Frederick IV. of
Denmark was cousin to Charles) “wish to
make war on me. Let it be! But King
Augustus has broken his word. 4 Our cause is
then just, and God will help us. Iintend
first to finish with one, and then I will talk
with the other. '
Military preparations were pushed on with
great vigor. both on land and sea. The
clergy and the civil officials were each or-
dered to furnish a regiment ofsdragoons, the
burghers of Stockholm a regiment of infan-
try. A few of the higher nobility followed
the elmtom of arming single companies. The
fleet in Karlskrona was fitted for sea, and all
the vessels in Steakholm were seized on
behalf of the Government for the transport
service. The financial difficulty was the
greatest. There was no money. Charles "
XI. had collected a large; treasure for mili-
tary purposes, and had left more than four
and a half millions of thalers. All this
Charles XII. had spent in two years by the
extravagance of his court, by his lavish
generosity to the Duke of Holstein-gottrop,
to his friends and favorites, and even to
families of the nobility who had beeh im-
poverished by the “Reduction." Even all
the plate in the “Elephant Vault" had been
melted down. During the “Gottorp Ftiry,”
Charles had spent twenty thousand thalers
of pocket money in four days, and no one
knew what had become of it. Besides large
sums which he gave openly as presents, he
had a habit, in order to escape thanks, of
secretly filling with money the pockets of
his favorites. A chest filled with jewels,
which stood for years in the “Elephant
Vault,” was brought to Charles’s bedcham-
her and was speedily emptied. There had
been left in the military chests of the fort-
resses and regiments, by the economy of
Charles XL, savings to the amount of six
hundred and seventy thousand .thalers.
Great sums had been taken even from this.
Not enough remained in the treasury ~of
the state to pay all the expenses of his
sister’s marriage, and_Charles wished to raise
a loan by pledging Pomerania or lfi'emen.
Now that money was still more .neccssary
for war, it became imperative to re-impose
the war tax, which had been abolished by
Charles XI. This brought in a million thal-
ers, but as it was insufilcient, the King called
for voluntary contributions. 'Piper, Wrede,
Stenbock gave among them twenty thou-
sand thalers, though this example found few
followers. The citizens of Stockholm con-
tributed;lhirty thousand thalers. In order
to excite enthusiasm among the nobility,
Charles finally decided to cancil any further
proceedings under the “Reduction" laws of
his father. The important edict was signed
on the 23d of April, 1700, and on the same
”evening'the King took leave of his grand—
mother and his sisters, in order, as he said,
to go for some time to Kungsor. In the night
he quietly left the palace, and turned south-
ward. He never again saw Stockholm. his
grandmother, or his elder‘ sister.
How to Treat Frost Bites.
If any part of the body gets frozen, the
very worst thing to do is to apply heat di—
rectly. Keep away from the fire. Use snow
if you can get it; if not, use the coldest
possible water. Last year our little boy of
five years froze his feet while out coasting at
considerable» distance from the house. He
cried all the way home,- and the case seemed
pretty bad. I brought a big panful of snow
and put his feet into it, rubbing them with
the snow. But my hands~could not stand
the cold. ’I was alarmed to see him keephis
feet in the snow so long, but he could not
hear them out of it. It was half an hour
before she would take them out, andthen the
pain was allgonc, and when I had wiped
them dry and rubbed them a little, he was
entirely comfortable, put on his stockings
and shoes and went to play. He never after-
wards had any trouble with his feet on ac-
count of this freezing. His sister got her
feet extremely cold, 9nd put them at once to
the fire. Her case at first was not so bad as
her brother’s, but the result was much Worse.
Her feet were very tender all winter,and she
suffered from chilblains. Her toes had a
swollen purple look, and she had to take a
larger pair of shoes—American Agricultur—

,Lnrrzro, Dec. 4, 1880.
We left Hobokcn on the 4th of September
last and reached Bremen' on the 16th, making
the voyage in eleven days and nineteen
hours. We experienced high seas on the
tlantic and also in the; English Channel.
At Southampton, where some of the passen-
gers were landed in a drenching rain, we lay
at anchor for four hours, hoping the storm
would, abate, which for a short time it did.
But on putting out to sea the storm seemed
to rage with increased fury and the wind and
waves tossed the vessel about as if it were
wild sport for them. All that night, son
after sea broke over the deck. The order to
have the life preservers in readiness caused
no little anxiety to the timid passengers, but
within twenty—four hours the vessel glided
through the smooth green waters of the
German ocean, and those who twenty-four
hours before lamented the fate that brought
them on the ocean, now were delighted with
the peculiar, changeable, coloring of these
waters, made more vivid by the reflection of
a clearing sky. The voyage was soon over.
It was with mingled feelings of regret and
relief that We left the “good om ship" which
had floated us in safety.- A ride of two
hours brought us to Bremen. There, several
hours were spent in driving through the city
and visiting places of special interest,=among
which were the Rathhnus, or City Hall. in
the cellars of which are stored many casks
of very old wine. We tasted some over two
hundred years old. We also visited the
Cathedral, which was from the eleventh to
the sixteenth centuries in building. One of
the towers, which fell in 1638, is still in:
ruins. Opposite is a statue of Roland, erect-
ed in 1412. .The next morning our party was
divided; those whose destination was Stutt-
gart enjoyed a sail up the Rhine. while We,
who came to Leipzig, had. a tedious ride of
nine hours in those lumbersome train coaches.
Leipzig has very little to interest the hasty
tourist. It is an ,old city, compactly ‘buii't,yet
the newer portions are mostly very fine.
The promenades'vare artistically laid out, and
beautiful trees and plants from .all parts of
Europe and America meet the eye At every
turn, although at date of writing many have
been removed to their winter quarters. and
those remaining show that winter has come.
To the student in whatever branch, Leipzig
has many advantages. To the muéical espec-
ially, for every week they hear the world-
renowned orchestra under the direction of
Carl Rheinoeber, the eminent composer, who
is more to the lovers of music in Europe
than Theodore Thomas can ever be to those
in America.
Thanksgiving day was very pleasantly re-
membered here by a “sociable” given in the
evening in one of the hotels, under the
direction of the pastor of the “so-called”
American Chapel. Not Americans only, but
English, Scotch, and many of other nation-
alities, joined in the festivities- Patriotic
and religious addresses, music, &.c., were aids
to the enjoyment of the evening. I shall
tatives of our country gave their special
thanksgivings.
The Gaznrrn, which comes regularly,
seems more like an old friend than a mere
newspaper. I have been'much interested by
“Rex" in his good-natured, sharp thrusts at
those partisans Who, were so unfortunate as
to have an opinion in opposition to his. It
is to bexhoped that the animals in his manag—
erie'took the food offered them in an amia—
ble spirit, for, Aould the term of their exile
be shortened by any means, and they come
to say “revenge is sweet,” I can imagine
“REX" moaning and saying, “woe is me that
ever I accepted the ofilce of showman.”
Undoubtedly the new President elect is
worthy of all the confidence reposed in him.
and that has placed him at the head of our
nation. It was annoying and at the same
time amusing, to read some of the opinions
expressed in the papers here on the political
prospeo in America. Evidently they‘con-
gratulate themselves that they are not “as
other men,” and think “little America,’ has
something yet to learn. They complain of
soldiers who wear white kids, and if not
always immaculate, they ‘ certainly are
renewed every Sunday, and for these expen?
ses every person is taxed, be they young or
old, if they have an income of a few marks.
Even the poorly paid servant girls must sub-
mit to the taxation of this miliiary law.
Christmas so near at hand increases busi-
ness, and many beautiful wares and articles
are displayed in the shop windows, yet on
the whole, whether from loyalty or fact, one
feels that we have at home as much and as
artistica variety now on exhibition in the
stores of our larger villages and cities.
Intending to be brief,I find that I have been
occupying your time and space at length.
Many thanks for the Gaznrra Editors let-
ters, and especially for the introduction to
the Consul here, Mr. Montgomery, who has
been ever ready to offer me assistance in mat-
ters pertaining to my protracted stay, where
the laws are so very strict, and where your
arrival has to be announced at the police
bureau within twenty-four hours, and where
you may look for a policeman soofito ask
you what you came for,what ls‘your religion,
etc., all of which seems unnecessary and a
little impertineut to a Yankee. I remain
yours truly, A. E. H.

There is a little story about a wedding that
will take place in East Vincent, Pa... during
the holidays. . In the heat ofthe campaign
the maiden, who aidently longed for the suc-
cess of Hancock, made an agreement With
her lover that she would marry him this year
should Hancock be elected. and that if Gar-
field should win she would remain slnglo four
years longer. The result of the election ap-
parently knocked the bridegroom’s hopes
higher than the price of coal, but the girl
now declares the bet oil. and bids her layer
to fetch the pal-son. Love laughs at electron
bets . . ._.-.w .- -.

The Latest Designs ~
And nailed it fast to his barn door,
That Luck might dowtrupon him pour;
That every blessing known in life
Might crown his homestead and his wife}
And never any kind of harm
Descend upon his growing farm.
But dire ill-fortune soon began
To v' ' the astounded man.
His hens declined to’lay their eggs;
His bacon tumbled from the pegs,
Anlflats devoured the fallen legs;
Hie corn, that never failed before,
Mildcwed and rotted on the floor;
His grass refused to end in hay;
His cattle died, or went astray;
In short, all moved the crooked way.

Next spring a great drought baked the sod
And roasted every pea in pod;
The beans declared they- couid not grow
So long as nature acted so; '
Redundant insects reared their brood
To starve for lack of juicy food; ~
The stavesfrom barrel sides went on
As if they had the beeping-cough,
And nothing of the useful kind I
To hold together felt inclined;
In short it was no use totry
While all the land was in a fry.
One morn. demoraliZed with grief,
What chcraft now possessed hislan‘d;
Why house and farm in misery grew
Since he nailed upthat “lucky” shoe.

While thus dismayed o’er matters wrong
An old man chanced to trudge along.
To whom he told, with wormwood tours,
How his affairs were in arrears,
And what a. desperate state of things
A picked-up horseshoe sometimes. brings.
The stranger asked to see the shoe,
The farmer brought it into view;
But when the old man raised his head
He laughed outright. and quickly said,
“No wonder skies upon you frown—
You’ve nailed the horseshoe upside down 1
Just turn it round, and soon you'll see
How you and Fortune will agree.”
The farmer turned the horseshoe round,
And showers began to swell the ground;
‘The sunshine laughed among his grain,
And heaps on heapspile'd up the wall;
The loft his hay could barely hold,
His cattle did as they were told;
His fruit trees needed sturdy props
To hold the gathering apple crops :
His turnip and potato fields
Astonished all men by their yield»;
Folks never saw such ears of corn
As in his smiling bills were born;
His barn was full of bursting bins—
His wife presented him with twins;
His neighbors marvelled more and more
To see the increase in his store,
And now the merry farmer sings
‘There are two ways of doing things;
And when for good luck you would pray,
Nail up your horseshoe the right way.
—Janss T. mes, in Homer‘s Eugenia:
Mother and Boy at Bedtime.
“Come !” she said ; "it’s sleepy time;
I will sing you such a svl'cet little~ rhyme—-
Scmething that you can understand—
About what they do in Slumber Land";
“No,” he said, “I will not be good; I
I’m a robber—I live in a great big wood;
It is made of cake-and-candy trees.
You can gouto Slumber Land if you pleasel!"
“But listen 1” she said! in Slumber Town
Every body is lying down, '
And all the creatures from man to fish
Have something better than they can wish i"
“Then;they don't know how to wish," he said,
“I think it stupid to lie in bed;
Lam going to burn the world all down,
And I don’t want to go to your Slumber
Town”, '
. so
“Butlisten 1" she said; “ in Slumber Street
You often hear music low and sweet,
And sometimes, there, you meet face to face
People you meet in no other place 1”
“Oh, that,” he said, “will not make me go;
I' like a hand-organ bestyou know,
With a monkey ; and I do not care
To meet strange people anywhere 1”
“But listen!” she said; in Slumber House
The cat forgets how to catch the mouse;
The naughty boys are never there
Stood in a corner or set in a chair 1”
“Well, that is a little better,” said he,
“But I am going at once to sea;
I’m a Captain, I’m not a littlebcy,
And this is my trumpet :Ship ahoy 1"
“But listen 1” she-said : in Slumber Room
Such beautiful flowers you see in bloom;
The best of them all, the very best, ,
You may pick if you choose; its name
Rest!”
“Why, that's a queer name for. a flower,"
he said " ’
“But you need't think I am going to bed!
I'm a robber again, a great big, brave,-
Splendid robber; and this is my cave."
How quiet the cave grew, presently;
She smiled, and stooped low down to see,
And what she saw was her little brigand
Traveling far into Slumber Land.
TWO cent-talus white, with their fringes brown,
Had shut him fast into Slumber Town,
And she knew that the restless little feet '
Were walking softly in Slumber Street.
