RESCUE.
As tlio Ileil-cont bniil theso worils, It
niipearcd to mo as if Ills bright gar.
ment glowed around him liko a ilaine,
and n greenish light shot tip out of tho
earth around us; but It was only tlio
trees. Colors blended strangely with
ono another boforo my oyesN "At last
all was extinguished. I lay in a faint
ing-flt. I was no longer conscious.
Something had eomo over me.
Then I felt a dim return of conscious
ness; a fnr-offaound was in my ears
and beforo my eyes hroko it twilight of
glimmering rays. As thought, sound
and vision becamo moro vivid,
thought over my condition, but I could
not make out what was tho mutter with
me.
"I am cither fainting, or losing my
senses or living," thought I. "Is tho
soul tearing herself away from (hi:
nerves, tho spirit from tlio body: what
then remains? A world is departing
with my senses ; nnd tho spirit, us a do-
iciident power, is resolved into tlio
ocean of nil power. Then is mun only
a fouiu-btilible, thrown up from tho ov-
r-movlng, ever-changing surface of tlio
ocean of tho All, reflecting in itself tlio
green islands nnd tho infinity of heaven.
nd tho rcllcctcd islands and heaven
vanish nway, as tho bubblo returns
whence it came. No, no," cried I to
myself, "that Is tlio way I becamo n
criminal, because I lost all faith in God
and in myself, and had given my
self up to tho brain-spuu threads
of a one-sided bophistry. Tlio
great world-spirit is no Dead So.i, nnd
man's soul no bubble."
So I thought, and opened my eyes,
and over mo hovered tho old man, us if
resting on clouds, with u friendly seri
ousness. I saw no longer tho eold.stern
features, but a mild expression lu bis
transfigured mien ; but tho light daz
zled mc,aud I soon shut my eyes again,
nntLdreamcd on; I could not htlr a
llitflT.''
"What is tho matter with me, or,
what isgoing to takoplacoV" thought
for it boomed to mo that I heard tlio
mm of cities and villages go by, and
the noiso of wavi'ig woods; and then
ngain tho rushing of streams and tho
roar of breakers nnd then tho tinkling
of Bheepfolds nnd tho songs of shep
herds. "What has happened ? whither
am I going?" sighed I softly, with a
great effort.
Still over mo hung tho form of tlio
old mun, nnd his oyo rested tenderly
upon inc. "Isavoyou," said ho nt last
lu a tono unspeakably gentle. "lear
no more. Thou hast wen thy lifo and
thy death. Thou weak ono, bo a man.
A second tlmo I cannot save you."
Thereupon thero was n gllmmmerlng
beforo my eyes, nnd mothought I lay lu
a rocky cavern, In which tlio daylight
shone through a narrow cleft. Hut tho
old man still hung over mo as ho said
'Now thou art saved, and 1 leavo thut.
I have ftiltllled my wishes."
"Hut," sighed I, "my Panny! my
children ! Give them to mo in tho des
ert."
Tho old man answered "They fifo
thine already."
"Hint out tho remembrance of my
guilt forever, If thou canst."
Tho ohl man spoke "I will blot It
out; it will trouble theo no more."
As ho said this, hu dbbolved away
over mo liko a mist, mid I gazed at tho
gray rocks ubovo me, and understood
nothing of wlmt had hiipponod. Hut
I was lillcd with an unspeakable peace.
And yet It was all Ilka a fairy tulo.
While I still gazed nt tho rocks nbovo
me, tho lips of an unseen being woro
pressetl to mine. 1 felt ft wnrm kiss.
A NBW WORLD.
That kls? brought mo back to earth.
I thought my cye3 wero open, but I
found that they wero shut ; fori heard
light footsteps around me, and yet saw
no ono In tho ravfi.
Thero camo t soft breath upon my
check, and two sweet llp.s onto moro
touched mine. Tho feeling of lifo again
returned to my outward senses. I
heard tlio whispering of my children's
voices. Dream nnd reality wero ming
led confusedly together ; but they Boon
began to bo parted tho ono from tho
other more distinctly, until I came ful
ly to; myself, & perceived elenrly what
was round me. I bcc.uno aware thnt I
was lying In a stifl", uncoinfortablo pos
ture. It Focined to mo as If I were on
tlio sofa in my Bummer-house. I open
ed my eyes, nnd my Panny hung over
me. It was her kisses that had awak
ened me. Our children clapped their
hands for joy when they saw mo awak
ening, nnd clambered up nn tho sofa
upon me, crying ono nftcr tho other,
"Papal papa! good-morning 1" And
my dear littlo wifo locked mo in her
arms, nnd witii eyes filled with tears,
chid mo for having slept all night in
tho cold summer-houbo ; had not Chris
topher, our man-servant, eomo back but
n quarter of an hour beforo from the
post-hoii'-e, and told tho maids in the
kitchen of my arrival, not a soul would
havo known that I had come.
Hut tho heavy 'NVulptirgii-dreiitn had
affected mo to such a degree, that I lay
still for somo time, not venturing to
trust my eyes or my ears. I looked
around for tho fantastic cavo in tlio des
ert, hut still I was In tho summer-house.
Thero lay still tlio drums, whips, and
playthings on tho floor. Upon tlio ta
ble still stood Fanny's work-basket-
all Just as I had found it when I hud
chosen my night's lodging there.
nd Christopher has Just returned
etl from thopost-hotiso?" asked 1. "Has
ho slept there all night?"
To bo sure, you strarrgo creature !"
said Panny and patted my cheek, "Ho
Miys, too, that you yourself told him to
do so. Why havo you passed tho night
on tills sofa.which Is as hard as n rock ?
Why did you not rout ns out of our
beds? How gladly would wo all have
been prepared for your reception I"
I started witli delight. "You havo
slept, then, safely nnd quietly all
night ?" asked I.
"Only too soundly," said Punny.
"Could I linvo guessed that you wero
hero in the summer-house, there would
havo been an end of nil sleep. I would
have slipped to you like n ghost. Do
you know, too, thut it is AVnlpurgis'
night, in which tho witches nnd hob
goblins piny their tricks?"
"I know itonly too well I" saidl,and
rubbed my eyes and smiled joyfully at
llndiiig that all my crimes wero a dream;
that neither iost-hou-o nor city wero
burnt; thut neither tho lted-co.it from
Prague, nor tho long-since forgotten .lu
lin, had mado mo it visit.
I clasped the lovely Panny moro fond
ly to my heart ; and with her and my
children upon my lap, I felt, now nmro
vividly than over, tho peace of a gooi
heart and pure conscience.
A new world bloomed arouml mi'
nnd more than onco I was doubtful
whether it wero a dream or not. I look
ed often towards the pleasant roofs o
our town to convince myself that 1 hai
thrown no cundle into tlio hay.
Never in my life had I had a more eon
nected, vivid, and definite dream; on
Iv at tlio hut when it blended Itsel
with my waking moments, hud it be
eomo wild and fantastic.
Wo went in trl tun tilt through the
beautiful garden to thu pleaant dwelling-house,
whero all my household
welcomed mo most heartily. After I
had altered my dress a little, I went
loaded with all sorts of playthings" for
tho boys, into Panny' room to break
fast. Thero sat tlio young mother with
tlio merry littlo ones. At each look of
love, a now rnpturo streamed through
my heart. I sank silently on Punny's
breast, and with tears of joy presented
to her tho littlo tokens which I bail
bought for her In Prague, saying, "Pan
ny, to-day is thy birthday."
"Never lutvo I celebrated It moro de
lightfully than now!" said she. "I
havo you again. I havo Invited somo of
our friends to pass the day with us, to
welcome you home. I bopo it does not
displease you? Hut no, v sit down by
us, and tell mo all iil'it yourself."
But my remarkable dream stood too
vividly before my eyes. I thought It
would bo a relief to relato it. Panny
listened ami becamo very serious. "Tru
ly," suld bhe, ut last, "ono otiaht to he
ilovo in tho witchery of W.ilptirgls
nljfht. Thou hr.it dreamed quite n ser
mon. Ho yet moro pious, my pious
one, for surely thy good nngel has spo
ken with thee. Wrlto lwn thy dream.
Such it droiiii Is moro remarkable than
mnnynllfo. I rely, you know, much
upon dreams. They do not tell us of
tho future, but they tell us of ourselves.
They aru sometimes tho clearest looking-glasses
of tho soul."
THE TEMPTER AND THE TEMPTATION.
A remarkable, although indeed not
extraordinary, coincidence occurred on
tho tiny following my Walpurgls
dream, My wlfu hud Invited somo friends
from tho city to a family festival. On
account of tho beauty of tho day, wo
dined In tho upper roomy saloon of tho
summer-house. Tho Wulpurgls-drenm
was almost blotted out from my mem
ory by bright and pleusunt realities.
My servant announced a strungo gen
tleman who wished to speak with mu
ll Huron Mandevii ee, fixm DroUow.
Panny saw that I was startled. "You
will not surely," suld bhe, "tremble bo
foro tho tempter if ho does not bring
tho temptation with him, anil not uven
beforo thu temptation, whilu you are ut
my bide."
I went down. There, seated on tho
very feofa wlicro 1 had slept tho night
before, appeared tho real, living Hed'
coat from Prnguo. Ho arose, grocteil
mo liko an old friend, und said "You
bco, I keep my promise, I must now sou
COL.
your lovely Fanny, with whom I havo
becomo qulto nccidontally acquaint
ed through your conflthiitlnl letters.
Aro you not Jealous V Ami" ho con
tinued, pointing out Into tho garden
'I havo brought n couple of guests with
me, my brother tint! his wife. Hut my
sistor-in-law already knows you. Wo
unexpectedly met nt Dresden, nnd now
travel In company."
I expressed my pleasuro nt seeing
dm. Just then n thick, stout man en
tered tho room whero wo werospeaklng
and at his sldo was n lady in a travel-llng-drcs-.
Imagine my astonishment.
It was Julia the wife of the count I
Julia was less embarrassed than I, al
though sho changed color. After tho
first civilities', I carried my guests Into
tho saloon abovo.-I introduced them to
my Funny. Tho tempter.turncd visitor,
said tho most flattering things to her.
I have," Bald he, "alro.idy qulto
adored you In Prague, where, without
the knowlcdgo of your husband, I got
to know nil tho littlo family secrets
which you communicated to him."
"1 know all," said Panny to him.
You paid fourteen hundred dollars for
thoso secrets. Hut you are, after all, a
very bail man, for you havo caused my
P.obert rt restless night."
"Wo have not dono with thnt yet,
Panny," said !, "for see, hero is tho
lovely temptation" and then I intro
duced her to tho count's wife "Julia."
Wcmcn never suffer long from em
barrassment. Fanny embraced Julia as
n sister, anil placed tho tempter on one
sitlo of her and tho temptation on the
other. "As fur us possible from you 1"
cried site, in n tono of roguish warn
ing.
Funny und Julia although they had
never Fcen each other before, soon bo-
came true lienrt-sisters, anil bail a great
deal to say to each other, making mo
tho butt of their raillery. For my part
it was peculiarly delightful to sco theso
two together; both lovely but Julia
only n beautiful woinnn, Funny nn nn
gel. Julia, ns I learned from her during n
walk in tlio garden, was perfectly hap
py. Sho was truly attached to her hus
band, on account of tho nobleness of
his character; but for her brother-in-law,
tho Red-coat, sho had tho tender
affection of a child. Ho had spent much
of his life, as sho told me,in travelling,
and now resided on an estate in Poland,
near her husband's, dividing his time
between books, and agricultural labors,
and oftlces of benevolence. She spoko
of him with animation, and insisted
that a better man did not exist on earth.
I gathered from nil sho told mo n prac
tical reflection that ono must not trust
too much to physiognomy.
"Why did you put that mysterious
question to mo nt Prague," said I, after
awhile, to tho worthy Rod-coat: 'Do
you not now know who lam and what
want of you f " For it was tlicao words
that had struck mo so at Prague, and
had afterwards sounded again so ills
tlnctly in my dream.
"It is plain enough what I meant,"
cried ho. "I wanted to tell you, us
brought back your pocket-book, what I
wished with you, nnd wanted also to
let you know that I was tho flndor,thut
you should put confldeiici- in me, nnd
give mo somo proofs of your loss. You
continued to bo as reserved as if I wero
u suspicious person, and yet I saw your
disquiet, and could not doubt tlin' tho
right man stood before me."
I now relatetl to him my drc.im.
"Sir," cried he, "long live tlio Walpur-gis-spirlts!
Tho dream deserves to bo
n chapter in moral philosophy and psy
chology. If you do not carefully write
it down, I will tin it myself, und send
it to you in print. There tiro right gold
en lessons In it. I am glut), however,
that I havo tho honor to shine ut Inst as
an angel of li','ht, otherwise I would
not listen ton word moro of your Walpurgis-night
adventure."
Wo spent a happy day together ; 1
with tlio 1 1 illy excellent Muinlovllle,
anil Fanny with Julia.
When we parted ut evening, Funny
said to me, when we reached tho door,
"Hero wo will bill good-bye, and not
accompany tho beautiful temptation a
btep farther. Your Walpurgls-dre.im
contains a good lesson for mo too. Do
you not ku w me, sir, mid what your
Fanny wants with you ""

A Body Alive Weighs 200 Pounds;

Broughton died In Wnyno county, in

now reside. A few days ago the fami
ly of tho deceased resolved to bring tho
remains of tho f.Uher from Waynu Co.,
and have them deposited in tlio ceme
tery near their present residence. In
furtherance of this purpose the gravo
was opened and the coflln exposed, but
nil ord.nary cITorts to lift It from its po
sition proved Ineffectual. Tho coffin
lid was therefore removed, when it was
found that tho body was in tlio most
perfect state of petrification. It was
covered with a dry mould,which,whcn
removed, revealed a surface almost ns
white and pure as marble. Tho body
showed hot tho least particle of decay
Every feature and lineament was per
fectly preserved, and when stood up
right it presented tho nppearanco of a
finely chiseled statue. When Mr
Hrougbton died he weighed about 200
pounds.whllo tlio remains had increased
in weight by petrification to 800 pounds
Beforo the body was interred at Biskirk
it was seen by tlio family, friends and
many others there. It Is tho most per

Kln. The Southern negroes, lu their hor
ror of Ku-Klux mysteries, nro particu
larly fearful of graveyards. They havo
always been supcrstltioiH In this regard,
but now they wlll.not go within it mllo
of ft cemetery. An nmuslng slory Is
told about Bishop Beckwlth, of Geor
gia, who had occasion some timo ago,
to visit a romoto portion of his dioceso.
Thero wero not many Episcopalians
In that region of Georgia, but few of tho
whites had overseen it successor of tlio
Apostles, nnd tho negroes did not know
what sort of creature a Bishop was. It
soon became noised about that on a cer
tain evening tho Bishop would arrive
and hold service! in a church of a cer
tain vlllago of tlio above district, und
tho wholo neighborhood was filled
with curlodty to go nnd sco tho queer
animal that read prayers out of u book.
Tho negroes wero especially excited,
and they determined to attend tho
church in mass. Tho house of worship
was not nn Ephcopnl church ; conse
quently it had no vestry room In which
tho Bishop could put on his vestments.
Tills dliueulty was, however, remedied
by somo one's suggesting that the Bish
op should robo himself behind the
church, and eomo round and enter nt
tho front door. So ho sent a friend with
his surplice, who placed it behind a
tomb-stone, where it would bo at hand
when ho should requlro It. Long bo
foro tho timo designated for tlio open
ing services, tlio littlo church hud be
come flllo.1 witli tho whites of tlio vi
cinity, nnd tho negroes, finding that
thero was no room for them inside,
stood packed beforo tho door. Tho
Bishop at tho appointed time, entered
Hie graveyard by tho back gate, went
up to tho tomb-stone, und donned his
Episcopal vestures. Tlio wind was
blowing rather fresh, nnd just ns no
turned tho corner of tho church a flaw
spread out his whlto robes. A negro
immediately bawled out, "Ku-Klux!
Ku-Klux !" They all looked nroutid
and beheld tho flaunting whlto gar
ments approaching; tho wholo crowd
took to their heels shrieking "Ku-
Klux I" In ten seconds not n darkey
could be seen, but tho sound of their
footsteps In tho dlstanco fell upon tho
ear, nnu for hnlf an hour afterward
could bo heard tho terriblo words, "Ku
Klux! Ku-Klux!" far off in the coun
try, as tho affrighted crowd wero mak
ing for their homes.
Drinking Days. There is a story
told in tho London People's Journal,
which gives a good idea of the drink
ing stylo of tlio last century, and which
ought to be overlooked. This was what
our grandfathers took for jhumor. Tho
Lord Pnnmuro hero spoken of wns, I
believo tlio father of the present Lord
Delhouslo. "Two young English no
blemen wero paying a visit to Lord
Panmuroat Brecliin Castle. Ono day
ho wroto a letter to Panlathie, a tenant
of his, to conic and oino with him, and
at tlio samo tlmo ho ordered htm to
bring a sum of money. Panlathlo was
awaro that he got that order that some
thing was to bo done. After dinner
Lord Pnnmuro gavo tho; first toast,
which was 'All hats In tho fire, or jClM
on tho table.' Pour hats wero imuiedi
ately on tho. Ono of tho English n
blenien gave tlio next toast, 'All eon
in tlio fire, or o0 on tho table.' Po n
coats wero committed to tlio flames.
