A MONT OF TERROR. The sexton Of st.
JoSephs cathedral At Vienna, beinRa man
Of extraordinary nerve and holiness. was
accustomed 70 stand on the pinnacle Of the
tower whenever the Emperor made a Grand
entrance into the city, and wave a flag as
the pageant passed By. when, however.
Leopold who had just been chosen Empe-
Tor at Frankfort, was about 70 enter the
city, the loyal sexton, still anxious to be
true 10 the old customs, but finding that
years told against his nerve declared that
any one who would take his place success.
fully should win his daughter. Gabriel
Petershcim, who was disliked by the sex
ton, but beloved Of the daughter, az once
accepted the offer. to the disgust Of fhe
sexton, who then arranged with two villains
to close the trap door Of the upnef stair
way while Gabriel was above, thinking that
as the Emperor was 70 enter towards eve
ming, no one need be the wiser. and the iad
must certainly fall before mornine THE
two accomplices did their foul work. and
their intended victim, finding his way
down again was then confronted with the
alternative Of clinging 10 the slender spirc
through cold wintry night, with his feet
resting on a surface hardly ten inches in
circumference, or Of prccipitatinp himself
70 the pavement ct once and thus ending
the matter. Gabriel was youth Of arm
win and hardy constitution. he clune 10
the cold column till morning. But the
story goes that his curling locks were white
snow, and his wonted checks were yellow
and wrinkled, and his eyes, before SO
bright, were now sunkcn and dim. One
night Of horror had placed him forty years
nearer his grave.
