IT, 1971. At a special meeting of the Board of Directors f the Union League, held this eveniug, the following minute and resolution were unanimously adopted : The Board of Directors, In view of the special re lations which have been sustained towards the Union League of Philadelphia, from Its very origin, by Stephen Colwell, Esq., who died suddenly on the Evening of thelGtn Inst., feel it to be due no less to themselves than to the memory of the de ceased, that some marked notice should be taken of his death and placed upon thtlr records. With an intelligent and thoughtful mind fully con yinced of the necessity and usefulness of such an organization, and a heart warmly alive to Its en couraging influences, It was peculiarly fitting that at the first formal meeting which led to the estab lishment of the Union League, Mr. Colwell should be called upon, as he was, to preside. His name thus heads the list of the signers or the constitution of the League; and he grew with its growth, aver in the forefront of whatever movement was planned for giving aid and comfort and support to his country and its Government throughout tin course of its struggle for existence, In resUtlng by force of arms a causeless and wicked armed Rebellion. We desire to bear testimony to those virtues which manifested themselves In all his Intercourse with us; to the singleness and unselfishness of his purpose; to his courteousness and urbanity In our varied relations; to his Dimness, cautiousness, and wisdom in the deliberations of our counsels; to his patience, unwearying Industry, and cheerful devo tion of time, abilities, and means in aid of the cause eo dear to alt our hearts: to hts constant, unwaver ing joy and faith and trust In the overruling provi dence or the Ood of our fathers amid the darkest hours or the country 's peril, as well as la times of success and victory. Of his private character, his abilities ai a scholar, especially In th fields or political economy and social science ; of his love of the beautiful In art and nature; or his uprightness and .Integrity as a man and a citizen; of the bright example of his Christian character, there are others who may more fittingly bear record. Sod in His wisdom has taken from us our friend and counsellor, after a life of usefulness and bless ing, when he had attained the full measure or his years. We mourn his los to ourselves ; we rejoice In his unspeakable gain, for we sorrow not as with out hope. Yet grieving and sorrowing that we shall see his kindly and benignant face no more among ns, we join our sympathies and our tears with thoee or all his mourning mends. We direct the above minute to be placed upon our records and published in the newspapers, and a copy to be sent to the ramliy or Mr. Colwell, and as an Additional mark or respect to hi memory It la Resolved, That the Board of Directors attend his funeral In a body.

The moment Mrs. Wilson was gone, I expected to see Clara peep out from behind the tapestry In the corner; but as she did not appear, I lifted It and looked In. There was nothing behind but a closet almost filled with books, not upon shelves, but heaped up from floor to celling. There had been Just room and no more for Clara to stand between the tapestry and the books. It was of no nse at tempting to look for her at least I said so to myself, for as yet the attraction of an old book was equal to that of a yonng girl. Besides, I always enjoyed waiting np to a certain point. Therefore I re sumed my place on the floor, with the Seven Cham pioDS In one hand and my chamber-candlestick lu the other. I had for the moment forgotten Clara In the adventures of St. Andrew of Scotland, when the taking or her frock aroused me. Sne was at my side. "Well, you've had your dinner? Did she give you any dessert?" "This is my dessert," I said, holding up the book. 'It's far more than " "Far more than your desert," she pursued, 'ir you prerer it to me." "I looked for yon first," I said defensively. 'Where?" "In the closet there." "You didn't think I was going to wait thsre, did you? Why the very spiders are haujrlng dead in their own webs In there. But here's some dessert lor yon ir you're as rond or apples as most boys," she added, taking a small rosy-chocked beauty from her pocket. . I accepted It, but somehow did not quite relish being lumped with boys in that rashfon. As I ate it, which I should have felt bound to do even had it been less acceptable in Itself, she resumed "Wouldn't you like to Bee the company arrive? That's what I came for. I wasn't going to ask Goody Wilson." "Yes, I should," I answered, "but Mrs. Wilson told me to keep here, and not got in their way." "Oh! I'll take care of that. We shan't go near them. I know every corner of the place-a good deal better than Mrs. Wilson, Come along, Wilfrid that's your name, Isn't It?" "Yes, it la. Am I to call yon Clara?" "Yea, if you are good that is, ir you like. I don't care what yon call me. Come along." I followed. A great clang of the boll In the paved court fell upon our ears. "Don't you hear tho music?" she said, half Indig nantly. "I hear It now," I answered. "Come along," she interrupted, eagerly. "Wo Bhall just be In time to see them go across from the drawing-zoom to the ball-room. Come, come. Leave your candle." I put down my book with some reluctance. She led me into the armory, and from the armory out on the gallery half encompassing the great hall, which was lighted up, and full or servants. Opening another door in the gallery, she conduoted mo down a stair which led almost into the hall, but, ascending again behind it, landed us In a little lob oy, on one side of which was the drawing-room, and on the other the ball-room, on another level, reached by a few high semicircular steps. "Quiok t quick !" said Clara, and turning sharply round, she opened another door, disclosing a square-built stone staircase. She pushed the door carefully against the wail, ran np a few steps, I following In some trepi dation, turned abruptly and sat down. I did as she did, questioning nothing: I had committed myself to her superior knowledge. In a few minutes thereafter the door or the drawing-room opened ; when, pair after pair, tho com pany, to the number or over a hundred and fifty, I should guess, walked past the foot of the Blair on which we were seated and ascended the steps Into the ball-room. The lobby was dimly lighted, except from the two open doors, and there was little dan ger of our being seen. Last of all came Lady Brotherton, Sir Giles's wife, a pale, delicate-looking woman, leaning on the arm of a tall, long-necked, would-be-stately, yet inslgnl-flcant-looklng man. She gave a shiver as, up the steps from the warm drawing-room, she catua at once opposite onr open door. "What a draught there is here!" she said, adjust ing her rose-colored scarf about her shoulders. "It reels quite wintry. Will you oblige me, Mr. Moller, by shutting that door? Sir Giles will not allow me to have It built up. I am sure there are plenty or ways to the leads besides that." "This door, my lady?" asked Mr. Mollet. I trem bled leet he sbqiild see us. "Yes. Just throw it to- There's a sprluk lock on it. leant think " The slam and echoing bang or the closing door cut off the end or the sentence. Even Clara was a little frightened, for her hand stole Into mine for a moment before she burst out laughing. "Hush ! hush !" I Bald. "They will hear you." "I almost wlRh they would," she said. "What a goose I was to be frightened, and not speak! Do you know where we are?" "No," I answered; "how should I? Where are we?" Mr fancy of knowing the place had vanished ut terly by this time. All my mental charts of It had got thoronghly confused, and I do not believe I could have even found my way back to the library. "Shut out on the leads," she answered. "Come along. We may as will go to meet our fate." I confess to a little palpitation of the heart as she spoke, for I was not yet old enough to feel that Clara's companionship made the doom a light one.' Up the stair we went here no twisting corkscrew, but a broad flight enough, with square turnings. At the lop wasa door, fastened only with a bolt inside against no worse housebreakers than the winds and rains. When we emerged, we found ourselves in the open night. "Here we are in the moon's drawing-room !" said Clara. The scene was lovely. The sky was all now the earth only a background or pedestal for the heavens. The river, far below, shone h re and there In an swer to the moon, while the meadows and fields lay as in the oblivion of sleep, and the wooded hills were only dark formless masses. But the sky was the dwelling place of the moon, before whose radi ance, penetratingly still, the stars shrunk as If they would hide In the flowing skirts or her garments. There was scarce a clond to be seen, and (he white ness of the moon made the bine thin. I could hardly believe in what I saw. It was as if I had come awake without getting wit or the dream. We were on the roof of the ball-room. We felt the rythmlo motion or the dancing feet bake thee building in time to the music. "A low melodious thunder" burled beneath above, the eternal silence of the white moon ! We passed to the roof or the drawing-room. From it, upon one side, we could peep into the great gothic window of the hall wnicn rose nign above it. We could see the servants passing and repassing, with dishes for the supper which was being laid in the dining-room under the drawing-room, for the hall was never used ror entertainment now, except on such great occasions as a coming or age, or an election feast, when all classes met. "We musn't stop here," said Clara. " We shall get our deaths of cold." "What shall we do then?" I asked. "There are pletty of doors," she answered "only M's. Wilson has a foolish uncy ror keeping them all bolted. We must try, though." Over roof after roor we went; now descending, now ascendlDg a few steps ; now walking along nar row gutters, between battlement and sloping roof; now crossing awkward Junctions trying doors. many in tower and turret all ra vain! Everyone was bolted on the inside, we naa grown quite silent, for the case looked serious. "1 his is the last door," said Clara, "the last we ran reach. There are more la the towers, but they are higher up. What thalt we do? Except we go down a chimney, I don't kuosr what's to be doae." SPECIAL NOTICES. Still her voice did not falter, and ray courage did not give way. She stood for a few moment silent. I stood regarding her, as one might lUten for a doubtful oraole. Yes, ITe got it!" she said at length. ""Have you a good head, Wilfrid ?" "I don't quite know what yon mean," I answered. "Do you mind being in a narrow plaoo, without much to hold by?" "nigh np?" I asked, with a shiver. "Yes." For a moment I did not answer. It was a special weakness of my physical nature, ona which my Ima gination had Increased tenfold the absolute hor ror I bad of such a transit as she was evidently about to propose. My worst dreams rrom which I would wake with my heart going like a fire-engine, were of adventures or the kind. But before a woman, how could I draw back? I would rather lie broken at the bottom of the wall. And If the fear should oome to the worst, I could at last throw myrelf down and end it so. "Well?" I said, as ir I had only been waiting ror , her exposition of the case. IV'Wtll !" she retnrned "Come along, then." I did go along like a man to the gallows; only I woiLd not have turned back to save mr lire. But I should have hailed the slightest change or purpose in her with sueh pleasure as Daniel must have relt when be round the lions would rather not eat him. She retraced her steps a long way until we reached the middle or the line or bn'ldlngs which divided the two courts. "There!" she said, pointing to the top or the square tower over the entrance to the hall, rrom which we bad watohed the arrival or the guests; it rose about nine feet only above where we now stood in" the gutter "I Anon I left the door open when we came down. I did it on purpose. I hate Go'Kly Wilson. Lucky, yon see ! that Is, if you have a head. And if yoh haven't, it's all the same: I have." so saying, she pointed to a sort of flying buttress which sprung sideways, with a wide span, across the angle the tower made with the hall, rrom an embrasure of the battlement of the hall, to the outer corner of the tower, itself more aolldly but tressed. Could she mean me to cross that halr-like bridge ? The mere thought was a terror. But I would not blench. Fear I confess cowardice if you will : poltroonery, not. "I see," I answered. "I will try. ir I rail, don't blame me. I will do my best." "You don't think," she returned, "I'm going to let you go alone! I should have to wait hours before you found a door to let me down except Indeed you went and told Goody Wilson, and I had rather die where I am. No, no. Come along. I'll show you how." With a rush and a scramble, she was up over the round back or tho buttress before I had time to understand that she meant as usual to take the lead. If she could but have sent me back a portion of hir sk'H, or lightness, or nerve, or whatever it was, just to set me on with a rush like that! But I stood preparing at once and hesitating. She turned and looked over the battle ments or the tower. "Never mind, Wlirrid," she said ; "I'll fetch yon presently." "No, no, "I cried. "Wait for me. I'm coming." I got astride of the buttress, and painfully forced my way up. It was like a dream of leap-frog, prolonged under painfully recurring difficul ties. I shut my eyes, and persuaded myself that all 1 had to do was to go on leap-frogging. At length, after more trepida tion and brain-turning than I care to dwell upon, lest even now It should bring back a too keen reali zation or Itself, I reached the bitilemint, seizing which, with one shaking band, acd Anting the other grasped by C lara, I tumbled on the lea Is of the tower. "Come along!" she said. "Yon see, when the girls like, they can beat the boys even at their own games. We're all right now." I did my best," I returned, mightily relieved. I'm not an augel, you know.- I can't fly like you." She seemed to appreciate the compliment. "Nevermind, I've done it before. It was game or you to rollow." Her praise elated me bejond measure. And It was well. "Come along," she added. She seemed to be always saving Come along. I obeyed, full of gratitude and roller. She skipped to the tiny turret which rose above our heads, and lifted the door-latch. But, Instead or disappearing within, she turned and looked at me in white dis may. The door was bolttd. Her look roused what there was or manhood In me. I felt that, as it had now come to the lat gasp, it was mine to comfort her. "We are iio worse than we were," I said. "Never mind." "1 don't know that," she answered mysteriously. 'Can you go back as yon came? can't." I looked over the edge of the battlement where I stood. There was tho buttress crossing the angle of moonlight, with its shadow lying far down on the wall. I shuddered at the thought of renewing my unspeakable dismay. But what must be must. Be sides, Clara bad praised me lor creeping where she cou!d fly ; now I might show ber that I could creep where she could not fly. "1 will try," returned I, putting one leg over the battlement. "Do take care, Wilfrid," she cried, stretching out ber hands, as if to keep me from railing. A sudden pulse or lire rushed through me. All at once I became not only bold but ambitious. "dive me a kiss," I said, "before I go." "Fo you make so much or it?" she returned, stepping back a pace. How much a womanBhe was even then! Her words roused somethlag in me which to this day I have not been able quite to understand. Asensoof wrong had its share in the reeling, but what else I can hardly venture to say. At all events, an Inroad of careless courage was the consequence. I stepped at o ice npon the but tress, and stood for a moment looking at her no doubt with reproach. She sprang towards me, "I beg your pardon," she said. The end of the butreas was a root or two below the level or the leads, where Clara stood. She bont over the battlement, stooped her race towards me, andlklssed me on the mouth. My only answer was to turn and walk down the buttress erect; a walk which, as the aich or the buttress became steeper, ended in a run and a leap on to the gutter of the halL There I turned, and saw her stand like a lady In a ballad leaning after me in the moonlight. I lifted my cap and sped away not knowing whither, but fancying that out of her Bight I coold make np my mind batter. Nor was I mistaken. The moment I sat down, my brains began to go about, and in another moment I saw what might be attempted. Iu going from roof to roof, I had seen the little gallery along which I bad passed with Mrs. Wilson on my way to the library. It crossed what might be called an open shaft in the building. I thought I could manage, roofed as it was, to get in by the open side, it was some time before I could find it again; but when I did come upon it at last, I saw that it might be done. By the help or a projecting gargoyle, curiously carved In the days when the wall to which it clung foroied part or the front or the building, I got my leet upon the wooden rail or the gallery, caught hold of one of the small pillars which supported the roof, and tinted myself m. 1 was almost as glad as when I had crossed the buttress, for below me was a paved bottom, between high walls, with out any door, like a dry well in the midst of the building. My recollection or the way to the armory I round, however, almost obliterated. I knew that I must pass through a bed-room at the end or the gallery, and that was all I remembered. I opened the door, aud found myself face to face with a young girl with wide eyes. She stood staring and astonished, but not fiightened. She was younger than Clara, aud not ao pretty. Her eyes were dark, .nd so was the hair she had been brushing. Her fate would have been quite pale, but for the rosy tinge or sur- SPEDIAL NOTICES. prise. Steroade no exclamation, only stared with her brush In her hand, and questions in ber eyes. I felt far enough from comfortable ; but with a great effort I spoke. "I beg your pardon, t had to get off the roof, and this was the only way. Please do not tell Mrs. Wilson." "No," she Slid at once, very quietly; "but you must go away." "If I could only find the library!" I said. . "I am so afraid of going into more rooms where I have no business." "I will show yon the way," she returned with a smile ; and laying do n her brush, took up a candle and led me from the room. In a few moments I was safe. My conductor vanlehed at once. The glimmer of my own candle in a further room guided me, and I was soon at the top of the corkscrew stair case. I found the door very slightly fastened; Clara must herself have unwittingly moved the bolt when she shut It. I round her standing all eager ness, waiting me. We hurried back to the library, and there I told her bow I had effected an entranoe and met with a guide.
