Camp-fires for their night encampments,
On their solitary journey
To the kingdom of Ponemah,
To the land of the hereafter.'"
A SWEDISH LEGEND.
"According to a Swedish legend, there once lived on earth two mortals who loved each other. When they died they were doomed to dwell on different stars, far, far apart. But, 'as they sat and listened to the music of the spheres,' they thought of building a bridge of light that should reach from star to star, till it spanned the distance separating them from each other.
"'They toiled and built a thousand years in love's all-powerful might,
And so the Milky Way was made a bridge of starry light.'
"Now, Harry, look at the Milky Way in the northern part of the sky, and what do you see?" asked Mary.
