For an instant the man did not reply.
Then the girl stretched forth to him
her bare white arms that glistened like
marble in the growing dusk, but he
needed them not.
"W,ll you not speak tnme, sweet

pitiful eloquence for the JOY that was

nate accident had deranged the intellects
OF their beloved pastor, and it was not
without difficulty that he prevailed on
some of them to follow him to the
church. provided with picks and spades.
Meanwhile the morning had dawned
the sun arose, and when the priest and
his companions ascended the hill toward
the church, they saw man of-war stand
ing off from the shore under full sail
toward the north. So surprising Q sight
in this remote district made his compan-
ions already hesitate to reject his story
as Improbable, and still more when they
saw that the side door of the church had
been violently burst open. They entered
full OF expectation. and the priest showed
them the grave which he had seen open
ed in the nighttime; il was easily per-
ceived that the stone had been lifted mp
aad replaced again; they put their imple-
ments in motion, and soon came to new,
richly adorned coffin; the old man de-
scended with almost youthful impatience
into the grave, and others followed him,
the cover was taken of, and the priest
found all his awful forebodings confirm
ed. In the coffin lay the murdered bride

had worn had disappeared; but the dis
tracted expression of deep grief had van
ished from her countenance, and heav
enly calm seemed spread over her fee
lures as she lay there like an angel. The
old man threw himself down on the
coffin, and wept and prayed aloud for
the soul of the murdered, while mute
astonishment and horror seized his com.
panions.
The clergyman found himself obliged
to make this event instantly known, with
all its circumstances, to his superior, the
Bishop OF Zealand: meanwhile, until he
got further instructions from Copen.

cy by an oath. Shortly afterward per-
son of high rank suddenly arrived from
the capital; he inquired into all the cir
cumstances, visited the grave, commend
ed the silence which had been hitherto
observed, and stated that the whole event
must remain forever secret, threaten
ing at the same time with severe pun
ishment any person who should dare to
speak of it.
After the death of the priest writing
was found in the parochial register mar

william penn a. . Law-Maker.

Penn was vested with powers that
gave him almost the rights of an inde-
pendent prince. He was permitted to
make laws and levy taxes and imposts,
sIbject only to confirmation by an as
semb'y of the representatives of the
people. He was authorized to appoint
magistrates and judges, and possessed
all the authority of captain general to
olevy. muster and train all sorts of
men," and ito make war upon sea or
land against pirates. robbers or barbar.
Gus nations" besides other rights and
privileges of an extreme executive char
acter.
His first care was to direct letter to the
Inhabitants of Pennsylvania apprisiny
them of his grant from the king. At the
same time he assured them of his inten-
tion of dealing honestly and Justly with
them. In one passage of the commune
cation he says: You shall be governed
by laws entirely of your own making,
and live free and. If you will, a sober
and industrious people.
After dispatching this notification, to-
gether with certain letters of authority
from the king, he set himself vigorously
to work framing constitution.
Its measures were such as to embrace
-rudely formulated to be sure-a draft
of a representative government such al

tuition. It has been but little changed
in Pennsylvania, which remains essen

A Swim for LII J.

A correspondent, writing from El Do
RADIO Canyon, New, under date of June
18, says: Another of our old-timers has
been swallowed up by the treaoherous
Colorado. Barney Coleman and Benia-
min Gooch accompanied by two Indians,
started up the river last Friday morning
in q skiff for the purpose of catching
drift-wood. After reaching point be-
tween twelve and fifteen miles up the
river, the boat, becoming unmauageable,
was drawn into an eddy and disappeared
in an instant. The skiff at the time was
near steep cliff of rocks. whose walls
were two hundred feet in height, and the
Indians, observing that the eddy was
about swallowing the boat and crew,
jumped out and clung to the rocks and
Gooch endeavored to do the same thiag
after them. He secured slight hold to
the perpe 1dicnlar side of the cliff, clung
to it only for moment, thea fell into
the water and was seen no more. Cole
man sprang from the stern of the skiff
out into the river and got beyond the
eddy, where he watched for the appear
ance of the boat. He had not long to
wait, but it seemed to him ages, when he
caught sight of it, bottom upwards,
few yards down the river, when he swan
after it, oyertaking and clinging to it.
In this condition, for three miles, he
went shooting past rocks, plowing
through breakers and whirllng about in
eddies, when he came face to face with
one of those roaring rapids and treach-
erous eddies so numerous and so dread
full in the Colorado. There was no time
to lose. Another chance between life
and death, and that chsnce perhaps was
the only one in Thousand. The reso-
luton was formed one moment and ex-
ecuted the next The skif was In the
midst of the rapids, standing on end,
another breaker and over it went. This
was an indiscrlbable moment to Cole
man, whose sole reliance had deserted
him, as he felt a prisoner in the hands
of, death, and though he had scarcely
known his strength before, here was
desperate opportunity for its test, and
he says that he felt that he was mere
straw at the mercy of wave one second
and an eddy the next.
Here was waged a fierce and pro-
tracted struggle for life between pow
erful man ard skillful swimmer, weigh
ing 225 pounds, and first a whirlpool
and then rapid, whose force and size
and danger can never be realized except
by the man whose life was trembling in
the balance; but courage and human
strength prevailed, and the brave man
swan on over rapids and through whirl-
pools for the distance of three of as per-
iloas miles as was probably ever won by
man. WHO can imagine his feelings as
he reached in safety and crawled upon
the river bank. where he lay for some
| time completely exhausted? As soon as
| he had regained sufficient strength Cole
man set out for the canyon, and. shoe
less and naked, after tramp of six
miles over the barren, rocky mountains
and through deep canyons of burning
sands in the heat of broiling sun, he
arrived, his feet bleeding and fearfully
lacerated by the sharp rocks.
