COS Tin: TWO m.KD-HOVS. A llcauf ifitl Tale of Germany. When I was in (lermany, four or five years ago, I spout several weeks of the summer time in a small town among the Thnringain Mountains. Fins is a range on the borders of Saxony, something like our (Jreen Mountains in height ami form, hut much darker in color, on account of the thick forest of fir which cover them. I had visited this region several times before, and knew not only all the roads, but most of the foot paths, and had made some acquaintance .villi the people, so I felt quite at home among them, and was tend of taking long walks up to the ruins of castles on the peaks, or down in the wild, rocky, . bdh* befSNO.

There is not much farming land, as yoif may suppose. The nu n cut wood, thn women spin llnx, bleach linen, and the children gat her berries, lend cattle on the high mountain pastures, or act as guides to the summer travellers. A great many liiul employment in the manulacture ot toys, ot which there are several establishments in this region, producing annu- | ally many thousands of crying and speaking dolls, Ideating lambs, barking dogs and roaring lions. J'chind the town where 1 lived there was a spur of mountains, crowned by the walls ol a castle built bv one of the dukes who ruled over that part ol Saxony eight or nine hundred years ago. Hcyond this ruin the mountain rest; gradually, until it reached the highest ridge, about three miles distant. I/i many places the forest had been out away, leaving open tracts where the sweet mountain grass grew thick and strong, and where there were always masses of heather, harehells, foxgloves, and wild pinks. Kvciy morning* all the cattle of the town were driven up t<> these pastures, each 1 . 1 iiii . - ' I aumiai wmi a dcii hanging lo lis neck, ami the sound of so many hundred l.clls tinkling all :u once made a chime which could he heard <il a long distance. One of my favorite walks was to mount lo the ruined castle and j?ass beyond it to tlm flowery pasture slopes, Irom wnieh 1 had a wide view of the level country to the north, and the mountain ridges on both sides. Here it was very pleasant to sit on a rock, in the euny afternoon, and listen to the continual sound of bolls whi? h tilled the air. Sometimes one of the herd boys would sing, or shout to the others across the intervening glens, while the village girls, with baskets of hark, hunted for berries along the edges ol the forests. Although so high oh the mountain the landscape was never lonely. One day, during my ramble, I came upon two smaller herds of cattle, each tended by a singlo boy. They were near each other, but not on the same pasture, for there was a deep hollow or dell between. Nevertheless they could plainly see each other, and even talk whenever thev liked, bv slmnt.imr J / J w " .-5 a little. I came out of a thicket upon the clearing on one side of the hollow, the, herd-hoy tending the cattle nearest to me was sitting among the grass, and singing with all ids might the j German song, commencing: ' Tni, i i, ro! TlvJ summer's here I know." His hack was towards me, hut 1 noticed that his elbows were moving very rapidly, Curious to learn what lie was doing, I slipped quietly around some hushes to a point where I could see him distinctly, and found that he j was knitting a woolen stocking. Pros- ! cnlly he lifted his head, looked across the*opposite pasture, and cried out, 'Hans! tho cows!' I lookod also and saw another boy J of about the samo age start up and run after his cattle, the last one of ' which was entering the forests. Then the boy near me gave a glance at his own cattle, which wcro quietly graz- | ing on tlie slope a little below him and wont on with his knitting. As I ap- ' proached he heard my steps and turned towards me, a little startled at first; but he was probably accustomed to f . ? ? ^ ~TI >v. JP \/ r%_;_J:L '4^'' _A_ -A 11 1 mloj H'l rWA V HOKO, S.

'Ami how much,' I asked him, Mo you ?ct lor taking care o( the cattle?' 'hruu to have five thallars,' (ahout lour dollars) lie answered, 'lor the whole summer; hut it don't go to me; it's for father. Hut then I make a good many grosehen hy knitting, and ttmCa for my winter clothes. Hast year 1 could Imy a coal, and this year I want to got enough for tiousers, ami new shoes, h i nee the cattle knows me so well, I have only to talk and they mind me; and that, you see, gives me plenty of time to knit.' \ .* tPsoe,' 1 said; 'it's a very good arrangement. I suppose the cattle over on the other pasture don't know their hoy? lie has not got them all out ol the woods yet.' 'Yes, they know him,' said Otto, 'and that's the reason they slip away. l?ut tlu n cattle mind some persons heller than others; I've seen that much.' Here he stopped talking and com mcnccd knitting again. I watched! him a while as lie, rapidly and evenly, rattled oil the stitches. lie evidently wanted to make the most of his time. 1 then ftnain looked across the hollow, when Hans?the other hoy?had Jit last collected his cows. lie stood on the top o! a rock, Hinging stones dmvn the steep slope. When he. had no more lie stuck his hands in his pockets, and whistled loudly to draw Otto's attention; hut the latter pretended not to hear. Then I hit, '.hem; for the shadow of* the mountain behind me was beginning t > creep up the other side of the valley, A lew days afterwards 1 went up to the pasture again, and came, hy chance, to the head of the little dell I dividing the two herds. I had been wandering in the fir-forest, and leached j the place unexpectedly. There was ii pleasant view from the spot, and 1 1 seated myself in the shade to rest and i [enjoy it. The first object that at- I traded my attention was Otto, knitting as usual, beside his herd of cows. Then 1 turned to the oilier side to discover what Hans was doing. I lis cattle this time were not straying; hut neither did he appe.'ir to he minding them in the least. He was walking backwards and forwards ou the mountain side, with Ills eves tivi il iiumi tl i> - ' " - J - " "I ' ground. Sometimes, where the toj? of I a rock jirojeeled from llio soil, lie | would lean over i(, and look along it from one end to the olher, as if he | were trying to measure its size; then he would walk on, pull a blue llowor, and then a yellow one, look at them sharply and throw them away. 'What ! i is he alter?' I said to myself. 'Has he lost something and is trying to lind j it?1 or are his thoughts so busy with j | something else that lie dosn'i really ; know what he is about?.' I watched him for nearly a hall an , hour, at the end of which time he seemed to get tired, for he gave up j looking about and sat down in the grass. The cattle were no doubt ac. . . . (juamtod with his ways,? (it is astonishing how much intelligence they have!) - and they immediately began to niQve towards the forest, and would soon have wandered away, bad I not (leaded tl.em oil" and driven them back. Then 1 followed them, much to the surprise of Hans, who had been aroused by the noise of their bulls as they ran from me. 'Von don't keep a very good watch, my hoy!' I said* Ah he made no answer, f asked, 'have you lost anything?' lie then said. 4 YV li o I 11 a \f?i ir/ni I wioii It 11 nt it i / < Ii/ii'/i ?? n#vu ini * ^ j iivi v; no long?' He looked confused, turned away his head, and muttered 'notion.' This made mo sure he had been hunting something, and 1 leU a little curious to know what it was. But although I asked him again, and offered to help him hunt it, he would tell mo nothing, He had a restless and ! rather an unhappy look, quite different ' from the bright, cheerful eyes and : pleasant countenance of Otto.

So I ho shepherd laid the flower on the table, and went to work and filled his pockets with the gold and diamonds. When he had as much as he could carry, the kobold said again, Mon'l forget the best!' ' That, I wo'nt the shepherd thought to himself, and look more gold and the biggest diamonds he could find, and filled his hat so that lie could scarcely 'stagger under the load. lie was lo"i\iiig the hall when the koboM cried out, Mon'l forget, the best!' Hut ho could not carry any more, and went on, never minding. When he reached the door in tho mountain side, ho heard the voice again for the last time, 'don't forget t lie best!' The next minute he was out. on the pasture. When lui looked around the door lisid disappeared; )uh pockets and hat -grew light all til *neo, and instead of gold and diamonds lie found nothing hut dry loaves and pebbles, lie was as poor as ever, and all ho cause ho had forgotten the host. Now, sir, do you know what the host was? Why, it was the ilower which he had left on the table in the kobolo's h ill. That was the key-flower. When you find it and pull it. the door is open to all the treasures underground.
