Friends may therefore ehange the times

and tliorc is no interference with tlie
general schedule.
The party all need the nsnal meals,
and food for three innles. AVhere there
are coinmittccs on the Oi'iihan Asy
lum, they will be relied on to iniike all
needed arrangements. Tn the absence
of committees, other friends are re-
(jnested to do so. A church, or a
urge hall, should always bo iircferred
for the entertainments, that the peo
ple may he eonifortably seated, and
perfect order preserved.

KO.MANCE OF HISTORY.
Conrad the Emperor of Ger
manv, was remarkable for bis
unsparing punisiiment of ali wiio
crossed iiis purpose. A quaint
but true iegend recites tiiat a
certain Count Lupoid, wiio was
one of tiiose fearing death, fled
into a remote forest and lived . in
a luit with liis wife. It liappened
that while hunting, Conrad came
to tlie spot, and passed tlie night
with tliem. Tliat niglit the count’s
wife became tlie mother of a son,
and tlie emperor dreamed tliat
the child then born would he his
heir. As tlie same dream recur
red twice, he was greatly troubled
and the next morning he com
manded two of his servants to
kill the child. They took it
away; but being moved to com
passion by its smiles, they placed
it undei a tree, and brought back
a hare’s heart to the emperor. A
certain duke, passing by soon
after, found the child, and took it
home to his wife, and adopted it
as ids own. Afterward, the em
peror being witli tliis duke, and
iiearing him relate, as a forest
adventure, the liistory of tliis hoy,
who was then present, l^hgan to
suspect that the victim liad es
caped. Being confirmed in tlie
opinion, lie took l.'iin into las
service as a page, and tlien sent
liini witli a letter to tlie empress,
in wliicli lie cliarged lier upon
pain of ills displeasure, to have tlie
bearer put to death. Tlie youtli
set out, and after seven daA's
came to a certain priest’s liouse,
who received him witli great
liospitality. The priest was struck
hv liis comely air, and by his
traveling so far. Wliile lie slept
he looked at this letter, and dis
covered the horrible fate that
awaited him; so erasing tlie
writing, he substituted these
words:
“This is the youth wliom I
have cliosen as the liusband ot
our dauglitor. I charge you to
give lier to liim quickly.”
Next morning the lad awoke
refreshed, and said :
“ Adieu, dear host.”
The priest replied :
“ Remember me wlien you are
emperor.”
Tlie boy only laughed, esteem
ing it a jest; so they parted. On
arriving at Aix-la Chapelle he
delivered his letters, and so well
did the ‘stratagem succeed, that
when the emperor wrote, soon
after, to ask if his order had been
obeyed, the empress assured him
that the nuptials had been cele
brated with great celeritA', as he
desired. The emperor hardly
believed liis eyes when he read
her letter. Mounting his horse,
he rode off immediately and with
great speed to Aix-la Chapelle.
On his arrival the empress pre
sented their daughter and son-in-
law. For a long time the em
peror seemed lost in astonishment
and uncertain what to do. At
length nature prevailed, and he
exclaimed;
“ The will of heaven cannot he
resisted !”
Then he compelled the two
squires to reveal what they had
done, and the count to come from
the Black Forest and receive
hack Ills son with peace from the
emperor, who left him as heir,
and who succeeded him as Henry
II. On the spot in the forest
where the child was born was
erected afterward the noble ino-
nastery ot Hirscliau.—Selected.
