How great .was thy sorrow, my brother in Christ! Yet He waaso hear thee, thy comfort and boast; As the Worthies of old, in the furnace were cast, Wmlc heated it was to the seventh full blast. 1 As they, thou didst walk, in tho midt of the fire Unscathed by the .name, as it rose in Its Ire; ' E'en 'the smell' fdid not pass, on thy garment so pure, .'!" v r. i ,",-!; i His grace all-sufiicicnt, cid help thee endure.

'And this is the fellow that wants to mar ry my daughter! A pretty fool I should bo to give Annie to a coward like him If i ' So shouted hone3t Master Joss,: tho; . 8a critan of the cathedral of' Vienna, as h0 stood in the public room of . Adam ' and Eve inn, and looked after the angry re treating figure of Master Otttar; the head As he spoke, an honest young gardentr, named Gabrial, entered; and fur a moment the youth's handsome face flushed high, as he thought the sacristan's words we're directed to him. For it waa the old, old story, Gabriel and Annie had played to gether and Loved each other before they JcBew the meaning: of the word love, and when, a few months' before, they had found it out, and Gabriel propbse'd to make Annie his wife, her' .father ' rejected '.him wuu scorn, ine young garaeuer nau iu le to offer besides an honest heart and at pair of industrious ' hands, while Master Ottkar, the' mason, had both - house ai.d moner. To him, then, sorelv against hur will, was the pretty Anuie promised;and poorGobriel tepL'ivray from the sacristan's pleasant cottage, -manfully endeavorjng to root out. his love while f exterminating the weeds in his garden.: But! soraehotf. if happened that, although thet docks and thistles. withered And died, that other pertinacious plant, clinging and twining like the wild convolvulus, grew and flourished -f-uutfured, perchance, by an occasional distant glimpse of sweet Annie's pale cheek and drooping form. ' So matters s:ood, when one day, as Gabriel was passing through the crowded streets.a neighbor hailed him: . . f Great pe wir, my boy 1 glorious - news! Our Leopold has been .chosen Emperor of Frankfort! Long live the House of Austria! lie is to make his triumphal entry here in a day or two. - Come iwith meto the Adam andJEve,'and we will drink his health, andliear all about it.. ? ' : , r .In spite of Ins dejection, Gabriel would have been no true son of Vienna if he had refund this iuvitatioD; and waving his cap

in sympathy with'his comrades enthusiasnu, he hastened with htm to the inn. We hive already seon how tho. unexpected appearanco and more unexpected words of Master Joss on his 'entrance. ..In the height of h?3 indignation; the sacristan did not obs3rvo Gabriel, and continued in the same tone: I declare I'd give this moment full and free permission to woo and win my daughter to any honest young fellow who would wave tho banner 'in my steada', and think her well rid of that, cowardly mason.! From time iramemoral' it had been the custom in- Vienna,: whenever, tho Emperor

made a triumphal entryVfor the- -sacrisün1 to stand on the very pinnacle of the highest tower, and wave a banner whilo the 'procession passed. But j Master . Joss was old, stiff, and rheumatic," and such: an exploit would have been quite as much ; OUt of his line, as dancing on a tight rope. It was therefore needful for him to providea substitute; it never occurred to him that his intended 6on-in-law, who ,;professed such devotion to his interest,' and .'whose dailv occupation obliged him to climb to diz zy heights, and eland ort slender- scaffold ing, could possibly object to ;ake his place. What, then, was his chagrin and indignation-when, on' broaching the matter that afternoon to' Master Otikar, he was met by a .flat and- not over-courteous refusal! The old man made a hasty, retort,, .words ran high, and the parting ' vlaey, levelled at tho retreating mason, - we have already reported. , ' ';' Would you, dear Master- Joss, would you indeed do so? Then,' with 'the help of Providence I will wave the banner - for you as long as you'please . from the top ' of St. Stephen's tower.' ; ' 'Ycu, Gabriel?' said the. bd mäh, look - ing at him as kindly as he was wont to do in former days. ?My dear boy.!. you nevr could do it: you, a gardener who has never had any practice in climbing.' 'Ah, now you want to' draw back from your word! exclaimed the youth,, redden ing. 'Mv head is steady ennirh: and if my heait i3 heavy, why, it is you who made it so. Never mind, Master Joss. Only promise me on the word of an honest man that you'll not interfere arty more with Annie's free choice, and you may depend i seeing th" banner of cur Emperor, whom may Heaven long preserve! wave gloriously on the old pinhack 'It will, my brave lad; I do promise, in the presence of all tlieso hone t folks, that Annie shall be yours;' said the sacris tan, grasping Gabriel's hand with one of his, while he wiped his eyeswith the back of the other. 'One thing I have to ask you,' said the young man, 'that you will keep this matter a secret, irom A.niiie: öhe d- never consent; she'd say I was tempting. Providence; and who knows whether the tho't of her displeasure might noiinake my head turn giddy, just when I want ; to bo most firm and self-collected ...o No fear pf her knowmg it, for I ; have i . . . .. . t sent her on 'a visit to her aunt 1 wo. or three miles but, in the country. ViV'i "'And why did you send her from home, ' J . 'Because the Bight of her jfhle- face and and weeping eyea troubled me; because ' I was vexed with her; because; to 'tell ; you the truth, I was vexedwith myself. Gabriel I was a hard hearted eld fool,' I see it now. ? And I was very near destroying the happiness of my only remaining child; for my poor boy Arnold, your old .friend and school-fellow, Gabriel, has been for years in foreign parts, we don't know what has become. 61 bim. But 'now, please God, Annie at least will be happy, and you shall marry her, my'lad, as soon after the day of the proeession as you and she please.'Theio'my hand oh it ' , . ' ) There was not a happier man that evenmg within the precinct of .Vienna, than e-.j- i ... i Gabriel, the gardener.-although he , well knew he was attempting a. perilous enterP rise, and one as likel as tiot'tö is death,' rÜe made alf necessary result in his necessary arrangemeats. in ,cafso.ol.th.aj; erant- especnlly in reference, to! the comfort of r-n 'only ,6ister who"lived vUh him, and 'whom ''he was careful to keep in ignorance 'of his intended-venture.. r This doue, he resignad himself to dream all night of tumbling from terrific heights, and all day of .his r. Ap proaching happiness. - - Meanwhile,' Ottkar swallowed his chargiii as best ho : might, and kept aloof from Master Joss; but he might have been seen holding frequent and secret communications with Lawrence, a man who assisted the sacristan. in the care of the church.. The day of the young Emperor's triumphal entry arrived. . He was not expected to reach Vienna before evening and at the appointed hour, the sacristan embraced Gabriel, and, giving him the banner of the House of Austriagorgeously embroidered, taid: v VNow my boy, up in God's nameV Fol low- Lawrence;'he,'ll guide you safely to the

top .of the spire, and afterwards assist you

in coming down.' Fire bündred and fifty steps to the top of the tower! Mere childs play -the young gardener flew up them with joyous step. Then came two huudred wooden stairs over the clock-tower and belfry; then five steep ladders'up the narrow .pinnacle. Courage! 'A fow more bold steps half an hour of perilthen triumph, reward the priest's blessings, and the joyful 4 Yes! before tho ahar. ; Ah.'how;. heavy was the banner to drag upwards how -dark, , the straight, stony shaft 1' -i Hoi Jr ' there ia the 'trap-door.

Farewell!' ' 'Asv he said these words Gabriel had passed through the trapdoor, and with feet and hands ; clinging to the iron'projections, felt himself hanging over a tremendous precipice, while the cbld evening breeze rufiled his hair; Ho had ' ..-.- ..... F . still, burdened as lie was with the banner, to steady himself on a part of the spire sculptured in the similitude of a rose, and then; after two daring steps higher, to be stride tho very pinnacle. . and wave his gay gold flag. ' ' 'May God be merciful to me!' sighed the poor lad; a3 glancing downward on th e the busy streets, lying so far beneath, the. wholo extent of . his danger flashed upon him. He felt so lonely, so utterly forsaken in that'desert of upper air, and the crn1 wind strove wuu him, and struggled to wrest. the heavy banner from his hand. 'Annie, Annie 'lia for thee'.'he murmured, and the sound of the sweet name nerved him to endurance.' He r wound his left arm' firmly around the iron bar which supported the goldon star, surmounted by a crescent, that served as a weathercock, and with the right waved the flag, which flapped and rustled' like the wings of some mighty bird of' prey. - The sky how nearjt seemed grew dark above his head, and the lights and bonfires glanced upwards from the great city below. But tho tries of rejoicing came faintly on his ear, until the long continued shout mingled with the sound of drums and trumpets, announced the approach of Leopold. 'Huzza! huzza! long live tha Emperor' shouted Gabriel, and wavedliis banner proubly. But the deepening twilight and the dizzy bight rendered him unseen and unheared by them, below. . ; .Tho deep voico of the cathedral clock tolled tha hour. . 'Now my task is ended, V gaid Gabriel, drawing a deep sigh of relief, and shivering in the chilly breeze. 'Now I have only to get down and give the'signal. : More heedful; and slowly than . he had ascended, lie' :began v'his -descent; ' Only one1 he looked upward to the , goldenstar and crescent, now beginning to -look ' colorless. against the dark sky. ..-Ha'. said he, 'don't it look now as if . -i ... . . ... that heathenish Turk of a : crescent . was nodding and wishing me some evil 'good night ?' Be quiet, Mohammed !' -' - : A few; courageous, 6 tep3, landed :)hira once more on tue petals ot tho ; gigantic sculptured rose, which- offared - the be3t, the only coigne of vantage for' his feet to rest on. , ' . ' , He furled his banner tightly together, and shouted: Hallo, Lawrence! Albert! here! throw me up the ladder and hooke. ( , . . I :No answer. . ; , s v;,: . : ' - More loudly and shrilly did Gabriel reiterate the call. ' " ': ' Not a woid, not a stir below. 4 tHoly Virgin' can-they -have forgotten me? : Or have they fallen a sleep?' cried tlie poor fellow aloud; and .the sighing wind seemed to answer back like a mocking 'demon.:, ' ' . , '" . Vhat sliall I 'do? ' What will become ofjne;! -l r-.:i.'i i.li Cr Now enveloped in darkness, :he: . dared not stir brie hair's breadth' Cto the fight or to the le ft. r A painful sensation of . tightness came across" his chest , and his soul grew bitter .within him. ,:: - 'They have left me here of a set pur pose, ho muttered, through his clenched teeth. 'The torches below will eliinc on my crushed body . . V Then after a moment: , . ' No, no, the sacristan could not find it his heart; men boni of women could not do it. They will come they must come. But the did. not come, aad the pitiless darkness thickened around him, so that he could not see his hand, his death-anguish grew to the pitch of insanity. ' .? Godl';he cried, 'the : Emperor will not 8nfier such barbarity. Noble Leopold, help! One word from you would save me, . But th cold night wind, blew "ominously arouud' the tower,r seemed ! to j anJ s Ter: I 4

. 'Here I alone am Emperor, and this my domain.' While this was passing, two men stood conversing; together at the corner in a dark street,' aloof from the rejoicing crowd. 'Haven't I managed it weli?' asked one. 'Yes, he'll never reach the ground alive, unless the sacristan ' Oh no. The old man 13 too busy with his son, who came home unexpectedly an hour ago.. He'll never thiuk of- that fool Gabriel, until' ' , ' ' ' .'Until 'tis too late.' ''How1''' did you get

J down a narrow street, and appeared no more that night. ; Meantime, a dark shadowy fiend sat on one of the leaves of the sculptured rose, and hissed in Gabriel's ear:. , 'Renounce thy salvation, and I will bring thee down in safety. 'May (rod preserve; me from such sin,' cried the poor lad shuddering. 'Or only promise to give me; your Annie' and I will save you 'Will you hold your tongue, yoa wicked spirit? . .:; . : ; -Or just say that you will make a present of. your first born child, and! illj'sear you away as softly as if you wero floating on down. . . . 'Avaunt, Satin, I'll have nothing to do with-gentlemen - who wear horns and a tail!' cried Gabriol manfully; The clock tolled aain and the gardener, aroused by the sound .and vibration, perceived that he had been asleep. -Yes, he had actually slumbered,' standing at that dizzy poinv suspended over that fearful abyss. " Am I really here,' he asked himself as he awoke; 'or is it all a frightful dream that I have had while lying in my bed? A cold shudder, passed through his frame, followed by a burning beat, and be grasped tho pinnacle with a convulsive tightness. A voice seemed to whisper in his ear: 'Fool! this is death, that unknown anguish which no man shall escape. Anticipate the moment, and throw thyself down. Must I then die?' murmured . Gabriel, while the cold sweat started from his brow. Must I die while life is so pleasant? Oh, Annid, Annie' pray for me; the world is so beautiful and life i3 so sweet Then it seemed as if soft white wings floated above and around him, while a'geuile voice whispered: 'Awake, awake! The night is far spent, tho day is at hani Look up and be com forted Wrapped in the banner, whose weight helped to preserve his equilibrium, Gabriel still held on vrith his numbed arm, and, with a sensation almost of joy, watched the first dawn lighting up the roofs of the city. Far below, in the sacristan's dwellig, the old man sat, fondly clasping the - hand of a handsome sunburnt youth, his long lost son Arnold, who bad- sat by his side

the livelong night; recounting the adventures which had . befallen him . in foreign lands, without either father or son feeling the want of sleep.- -' . : -At lenijlh Arnold said: i i . 'I am longing to see Annie, father. I daresay she Kas grown tö be a fine girl. How;is my friend Gabriel, who used to be so fond of her,when we were all children together?'' f ' "' "The sacristan sprang from his seat. 'Gabriel! Holy Virgin! I had quits forgotten him '; ' A rapid explanation : followed. Master Joss and his son hastened toward the cathedral, and met Albert on their way. ' 'Where is Gabriel?' cried the sacristan. , 'I dontknow; I have not seen him since he climbed through the trap door . 'But who helped him down? Whv, you yourself, of Course,' replied Albert1 whir fa look of astonishment.' Lawrence'told me when we came down, that you had undertaken to do it. 1 ; , .'Oh, the villains, ' the doublo-dyed scoundrels!' Now I understand-it nil, groaned the old man; 'Quick, Arnold, Albert! - Com3, for the love of God ; look up, look up to the spire. ' Arnold rushed towards tho square, and his keen eye, accustomed to loon out at great dijtences.at.sea discerned through-: the grey, uncertain morning something fluttering on the spire:1 : - : " - ! : "Tis-hcV;t must bo Ire, still Siving.r 'Oh, God!'cried i Möster ' Joss ' where are -my keys? Öb, that wo may not be too -late... r ... z, j " , "..j., . . (The keys were found, in the eld raan.s pocket; and all three, rushing through the calhed ral gate, darted up the stairs, the sacristan in the dread excitement of the moment, moving as swiftly as his companions. . Albeit, knowing tho trick of the trapdoor went through it first. Call out to hira,: lad!' exclaimed Master Jos. ' ' ' A breathless pause. 'I hear- nothing stirring,' said Albert, nor can I 6eo anything '. from . this. I'll climb over the rose ' ' Bravely, did he surmount the perilous projection and after a few moments of intense anxiety,: he reappeared at the' trapdoor. " . ; " ' ." ' There certainly is a figure stand ing on the rose, but 'tisn't Gabriel 'tis a ghost! 'A ghost! you dreaming dunderhead, shouted Arnold. 'Let me up. And ; he began to climb with the agility of a cat. Presently he called out: . . Coras on come on. as far as ycu can. " . 4 - -- , . " 1 ....

I have him, thank Godi But quick; time is precious.. Speedily and deftly they gave him aid; and at length, half-unconcious figure, siill wrapped in the banner, was brought down in safety. They bere hyn into the Adam and Eve, laid him in a warm bed, and poured by degrees a little wine down his throat. Under this treatment, he recovered his consciousness, and began to thank his deliv-. . erers. uddcnly his eye fell on a mirror, hanging on the wall opposite the bed, and he exclaimed: ' ' Wipe the hoar-frost off my hair, and that yellow dust off ray cheeks! In truth-his curled locks wer white, his- rosy cheeks yellow and . wrinkled, and his bright eyes dim and sunken; but ueitkr dust or hoar-frost was . there ' to wipe away that'orie night of horror had added forty years to hi3 age! .
