THE WILL OF GOD.

the siiliest girl there do so? Did the most ig.
norant peasant-immigrant confound that will,
set there on purpose to interfere with the
laws of nature. to set them in motion. to con-
troll their motion with Caprice? Did he
coniound the doing Of things which his
grandfather would have pronounced contrary
to nature. and to all the laws OF nature, with
violation OF the laws of nature? No: our
human stay was in single will. and in its
power to hold On sublime conflict with con-
tending laws of nature. aimed. as that will
was, at the safety of the lives on board. Had
the vii! ceased to interfere, and left us to the
claws Of nature" where had We been?. We
knew that that will willed to bear us through,
and for US the best of earthly things was that
that captains will should prevail.
So. wherever the currents Of crossing laws

READING, Oct. 28.-Samuel Shaeffer, an
aged farmer, residing near Groffdsle, If
teen miles from this city, was shot and
MORALLY wounded by burglars. A gang
of thieves has been terrorizing the neigh
borhood for several weeks, and all efforts
to catch them has thus far been fruitiess.
At midnight they broke into the old
mans house and began to ransack it, in
hopes OF finding 800 which he was known
to have drawn from the bank within u
day or two. They had not found it when
Mr. Shaeffer heard them and attacked one
oil the men, who was in his bedroom. A
desperate fight ensued, at the end of which
the old man was shot In the forehead, the
bullet passing into his brain. The bur
glars then bound Mr.. Shaeffer's grand
daughter, who was the only other inmate
OF the house at the time, and completed
their search Of the premises. They found
the money they had came to secure and
made good their escape before the young
woman could release herself and give the
alarm. A posse has been organized and
every part of the surrounding country is
being thoroughly searched for the mis-
creants. Ehe physicians in attendance
say 1t is impossible for Mr.. Shaeffer to re-
cover, IS he is over so years old.
