All ARK OF SAFETY.
Tho Bell of St. John's -A Tale of
the I!cc6ht liooils.
From the New York Observer.
For many dnyn tho rain liarl fallen In
ceaseless, heavy torrents, nnd from every
direction came now the brooks ami Hie
streams rtisliiug -with unwonted swift-
nrsa, nnd sending up a deep, hoarse
muimur, which was but a musical echo
to the voice of the mighty, swollen
rivers.
In tho little town ol Chesterhrook
there wKh tftUsd for the ntlxiely and the
alarm which wns increasing hourly; al
ready was the giant Mississippi, near to
which the village lay, nt its greatest
heightb ever known nt that point, and it
was Btealthily fentlfoachiug upon the
main street, while the inhabitants dwell
ing further buck were thankful for tho
natnral riso bf land which placed them
in a safer position than many of their
townsmen.
I not the river very, very high, grand-
f ither?" asked RulhBoyuton, a timid bc
oent faltering in her tone and her chetk
paling.
She wm a yonng girl of fifteen, busied
at the time with preparations for the eve
ning meal, but jMUsiug now as -he spoke
to look Inwohls bt-r old grandfather as he
sat beside the open window iu his largo
armchair, and looking Very anxiously
without
Redeiving no onswer, Riltli came near
to him, laying her hand upon his
shoulder.
'Does it Uot look Veryivrfy high ?" she
repeated. ''tiook.Rrnudfalher, there nre
no muny loose timbirs floating oh the
water ?"
"It Is, indeed, higher than I have evtr
known it in my 80 years, Ruth," replied
tho old man iu a voice grown feeble by
age.
"Do jnn think' the tSwo is in danger,
granilfatbrr? asked the young girl a
alight pallor creeping over her face as
she spoke.
"Not to-night, child, not to-night," be
inswered; "anil to-morrow may bring uh
brighter skiesl nyoi to-morrow,' who
knows?" he murmured to himself softly,
as Ruth turned uwny to her work again
and the old man foldod bis hand and
closed hia eyes in silent prayer to Ond
i ho rules the storm nnd Clouds and sun
bine.
Midnight had already paused in ihe
Ibick, iuky darkness which eusbrouded
the ill-fated town even tho most watch
ful and anxious were at last sleeping
heavily.
When, suddenly with a confused
thunder of sound rising above Ihe angry
howling of tbe storm iu deafening crash.
d iwn upou the doomed town came tbe
river.
Tho leveo- that frail embankment that
man had erected had been swept like
oliaff before tbe swollen, resist Ies water,
and in a roaring torrent, seeming to rend
arlb and sky asunder, it rushed toward
the village nctliug so quietly amid the
peacetul hills.
Cheslerbrook wns thus sternly aroused
to destruction, nud dimnayi aud wotfal
death.
11 nrsting every barrier restraint d Bo
lunger by any former bounds tut? re
lentless stream, amid tbe despairing
cries of tbe ill-fated hnman victims, was
wildly sweeping away every tenement cr
building in tbe way of its rapidly wid
euing road.
With the first wild alarm. Itnlb Hoyn.
ton bad slatted tertlfiel and lnwihlered
from her bed, aud rushed into the ad
joining room to find her gruutlfatber up
also, gropiug with tbe neftotls tremor of
age blindly amid the darkuess for a can
dle.
In that moment It seemed as though
the old man, who had been so strong for
his 80 years, was transformed into a tim
id, tretubliug child.
What is it, Hutbie?" he cried, with
nu Imploring, plteoiii glance at tbe girl
entering with a candle iu her trembling
band.
"What can It bet" be added exoltedly,
"and what Ob, what, shall we do?" as
tbe roar and crash increase upon his ter
rified ear.
"It Is the river, grindfather," aba an
swered, hurrying to the door; "the town
51.00
is flooded, and everything is beibg swept
awnyl"
"My Gtodi' my dodl" cried tho old
man, convulsively nnd tremblitag in ev
ery limb; "who will Bate tts ahd what
can I do ?"
Whether 11 whs tho sense of Ihe appal
ling danger hi their very dooh or tehdel
pity even IU this terrible mordent far her
belplesi companion, tho yonng girl lio
seemed suddenly imbued with nbtr, be
roio slrei'Rth tingling in every nerve!
and with a voles almost steady (she said
calmly:
"But God is still with us, grandfather;
and He will surely tnake lis sohio way of
escape; try to be strong now, and trnst
to Ills help."
lint eYcn as she spoke, another fearful
crash, accompanied by piteous shrieks,
told of a nearer catastrophe, nnd Itutb
laid her hand upon the old man's arm,
gently but firmly. .
' Come, grandfather," paid she, cooly.
"let ns hasten to the nearest bbhftW: thy
may there be making some plan for pro
teclinn and they may help us, too; so,
do hasten!"
Waiting bnly'to exohango the flickering
candle for a 1 intern, the two hclples
nes hurried out into tho darkness of the
dwful night.
But little werb they prepared for that
scene of desolation around; only in the
distance glimmered moving lightti und
with the slow progress alone possible in
tbe feeble condition of her companion,
Ruth felt that they ctJilld never reach the
far-off help.
Only a small strip of land now seemed
left to them the river behind and to the
right of them, while to the left rose the
high, steep bank, Bc'zy with mud and
tricklibg with water from the storm. Up
that her active feet might possibly have
climbed,' but never could the feeble old
man tottering along at her side lb the
storm and darkness.
Never onco did the thought of escape
ipart from him enter the brave maiden's
mind.
With a heart beating wiidly with fear.
Ruth raised her eyes to the clond-cov-
Cred sky, half breathing a prayer for aid,
while tbe trembling one beside her ut
tered a helpless grotill.
Suddenly a ray of hope quickened her
senses. A little mgher up to the left, el
evated somewhat above tho path before
them, stood the strong old church, un
touched as yet by the Water, looking out
in silent pity upon tbe scene of desola
tion surrounding it. It was possible that
Bafety might be fonnd there; even if the
waves reach it, might not the strong
fonndutions upon which it had stood so
long and steadfast prove invincible to the
raging flood ?
"The church, grandfather! Tbe church!
Let lis go therel" cried Itutb, in tones of
hope and encouragement. "Surely, we
shall he cafe there!" and the next minute
they were hurrying over tbe short space
intervening, nnd finding but a slight re
sistance to the old worn lock, they were
soon standing within the gloomy, silent
church.
Was it in that tbe soothing spirit of
prayer still hoveled like intense about
the place: or was it the thought of Ihe
ever-abiding presence of God in this Ills
own bouse, that seemed to impart a sud
den calm to the weary old man ? Si
lently he sank within one of tb? old-
fashioned pews; and here, nye, yes here
hn could die peacefully, if such were
God's will.
The lantern gave but a feeble light in
the great room; but thankful for even
this mitigation of the darkness. Ruth
placed it near by, and with loving, ten
der care kntlt beside her grandfather,
still bent on cheering and encourcging
him.
"I think we aro snrely safe bere.grand
father."
"I trust bo, my child." answered the
old man in a tone so strong and calm
that it snrprised as well ns delighted the
young girl.
"God has surely gnlded and sustained
us in this hour of danger," added the
old man ferVrnll; i "ahd we are cow in
Tils bands; lie will save or lake ns to
hlhiselfas. He may iu Ills infinite mercy
deem best."
A deep silence fell upon them thn .
trembling, prayerful silence bpon fttith'i
part, for nearer and nearer came ti e om
inous sound of the great, rushing flood,
while a great sense of desolation crept
over her.
Suddenly a cold dampness seemed to
pervade the whole room, and the neit
moment a perceptible tremor passed oref
the bnildlng, causing the yonng girl to
spring to her feet and clasping her arms
almnt ber grandfather, tremble and weep
violently.
Quickly, firmly he drew her closer lo
him, and pressing ber with love to his
bosom.
"Be brave, tny child," be said in n
voico silbdued but calm. "The hnnr of
danger has come.but God is with ns yet,
Ruth."
Almost uncottsclcns. from fright, Ruth
lay on her grandfather's breast and, as
the movement became more steady nnd
regular, she raised ber pale face and
whispered:
Grandfather, arc no really floating
away?"
"Yes, my child, like the ark of old,'
answered the grandfather, "We are now
adrift ; aud God ouly knows how long
we may keep afloat abd what the eud is
to ha. llut let us not ronrritur at Ills
will; we may perhaps fiud many friends
who have gone this night into the other
world."
The gttl hid bet face again for a mo
ment, btlt suddenly a fainti and as it
weiej a for-ofT sound broke the stillness
the sound of a bell feebly and slowly
tolling!
RUtb started up. "Oh, listen; grand
fatberr she cried, "ijistbe bell the old
church bell, tolling with the motion of
tbe wave!"
The old man started listened intently

also; and the unbidden tears moistened
his eyes ahd trickled slowly down his
furrowed cheek.
"Aye, child, it is the old tell of St.
John's, that has rung out many a chime.
It is tolling now ltslat long message-
tolling its own death'knell, nnd the knoll
of the many that this bight have passed
away."
But to Ruth, the familiar sound, sol
emn and sad though it was, seemed to
hear n message of life and hope! and
with ber young face all aglow, she start
cd once again1 Id her feet, excitedly ex-
claiming:
"Grandfather, I know what I will dot
I will cllruh the belfry stair, and hang
the lantern from tbe high window! and
then, added thb braVegirl resolutely,
will send ont such a peal from tho god
old bell that hfeib, i am 'Urc, will soon
comei"
Timid for her safety, where ho was
brave for his own, the old man anxiously
tried to dissaude ber irom ah effort bo
peirlous nt this hour of darkness; but,
scarcely waiting for permission, Ruth had
already dafted away with the lantern,
leaving her gaandralber in the solemn
darkness, where be could only wait and
pray, while she was very cauliotlsly hut
swiftly climbibg Ihe old, Hckctty belfry
stairs.
On through the gloom and siUnte tho
old cbtlrch floated n hen (.hddtuly, out
through tbe blackness of the night, a
bright light sparkled like a bcncoh-blnze.
from a light-house tower i ahd, far aboVe

The river had now found a deeper And

once more upon either side and, as that
strange, with! Bound rang out amid the
stUrm .and darkness, a group bf men,
with skiffs moored high, peered cut upon
the rushing stream, with wondering,
awe-sthick faces.
"Egad!" cried one, it sdunds like the
old bell bt St, John's church, way up at

'Can it bo possible1 asked another!
"then it must be the wreck of the Chts

On, on csme the pealing Bound, ahd
now the ' eacon'light shono out full up
on them.
"As I live!" cried the first speaker, it
Is the old church afloat, and that bell
would never ring like that from tbe mo
tion of the water! There are living souls
within there calling for help. To the
rescue, menl Out with the rupes and
skiffs!"
Iu Ave minutes more strong! braVe
bands were but tn the stream; and all
unknown to the anxions ones within,
heavy ropes were attached to the build
ing; ana then, with the bell still tolling.
the old church was towed sdftly nud
quickly to a haven-like break amid the
lifls.
And then; suddenly, with a startling
shock, the old church stood still; aud;
with a frightened, beating heart. Ruth
gazed anxiously from her high little
window.

moored ?
And then, too, there were the lights!
And then there were DgufeS hf tucu with

Hastily she flew down the stairs, cry
ing joyfully:
"We are saved, grandfather! Thank
God, we are saved!"
A eudden light in the doorway and
the next moment kiudly voices broko the
silence. The lanterns soon revealed lb
two lonely figures, and Itutb and the old
man quickly", fnttbd themselves by the
hospitable fireside of a pcaceltil little
