routine, that they were seized with a
very different alarm--they believed
that some unfortunate accident had
deranged the intellects Of their below
ed pastor, and il was not without much
difficulty that he prevailed on some OF
them to accompany him to the church,
provided with picks and spades.
Meanwhile the morning had dawn
ed, the sun arose, and the priest and
his companions ascended the hill to-
wards the church.. they saw a man-of-
war standing oil from the shore under
full sail towards the north. So sur
prising q sight in this remote district,
made his companions already hesitate
to reject his story as improbable, aud
still more were they inclined to listen
to him when they saw that the side
door Ut the church had been violently
burst open. They entered full Of ex.
pectation. and the priest showed them
the grave which he had seen opened in
the night time, IL was evident that the
stone had been lifted up and replace I'd
again. They, therefore. put their i'm.
p!ements in motion, and soon came "a
new and richly adorned coffin, ia
which lay the murdered bride--a bull
let bad pierced her breast right TO the
heart-the magnificent diadem which
she had worn at the altar, no longer Il
dorned her brows, but the distracted
expression Of deep grief had vanished
from her countenance, aud heavenly
| calm spread over her features. Tn.
old man threw himself down OH his
knees near the coffin. aud wcpt and
prayed aloud for the soul Of the dead,
while mute astonishment and horror
seized his companions.
| The clergyman found himself obi
ged TO make this event Instantly known
with all its circumstances. to his snpe
rior. the bishop of Zealand mean
while. until he got further instruc ton,
from Copenhagen, he bound all hi,
trends to secrecy by an oath. Short
W afterwards, a person Of high ranl
suddenly arrived from the capital; h,
inquired into all the circumstance

lencs which had been hitherto observ
ed, and stated that the whole even
must remain forever a secret, threat
ening at the same time with a sever,
punishment, any person who shout,
dare TO speak Of it.
