democratical form of government, the
preparation necessary before leaving with
Rudolph for that city, farther diverted her
thoughts, and in some measure restored
her cheerfulness.
Rudolph determined to lose no time in
placing Zillah under the care of his aunt,
trusting that few months in the quie
sec !usion Of the convent would restore
her TO tranquility. 1t was safe asylum
during his absence. He expected 10 re.
turn in year, and then Zillah had prom
sed 10 link her fate with his for life.
And now, gentle reader, | might tell
you Of strange things that befell our
young Swiss in Germany, bu! | will NOT
delain you so, dropping some twelve
months, | will jus. say Rudolph returned
to his native city, and obtained his fa'h.
er's consent to marry foreign lady, who
had been for some months under the
charge Of his aunt, the abbess, who prais
ed her devotion and loveliness.
In the chapel al the convent at Glarus,
the hands Of Zillah and Rudolph were
joined, without suspicion on the part Of
old Earlach that his fair daughter-iu-law
was the despised Jewess he had persecu.
ted nigh unto death.
Rudolph removed TO Winterthur, where
he lived happily with Zillah to good
old age.
Ernst and Gretchen married some
months before Rudolph returned from his
travels, and their descendants occupied
the little cottage for many generations.
Hans continued the faithful friend AM
follower of Rudolph through life.
Anne, after the tragcal death Of he
father, took the veil, and, in time, became
abbess Of the convent founded by her aun
at Claus, She was long remembered
throughout the canton for the holiness oI
her life and numerous acts Of charity.

well, and promises an abundant yield;r an
other, that "our farmers are looking forward
to harvest scarcely inferior in quantity or
quality to that of last year," and 80 on from
all parts of the country. Meantime they are
in expectation, also, OF abundant crops on the
other side Of The Atlantic. AT al events, the
