10 CHRONICLES chapter thimd.
Now it came to pans in the second year
of the reign of King John lhat an exceed
ing great army of the Philistines was sent
thro' the country to waste and destroy it.
Andaathe amy drew nigh unto the
' ctty betoWM Miaiiy of ttfc ppte boowmit e a-
eeedtagly affrighted and likewise many of
the maidens of the Queen's household lnso
...,,,.1, that some of them fled before the
face of Uie Philistines and went to their
own home. " , , ,
And Queen Caroline said unto Iter-lord
the King, what shall we do! For behold
tbe hosts of tne Philistines will come upon
us and spoil us of our goods and take our
bread and our clothing from us, our orna
m ids of saver and gold and the money
that is in our purses; peradventnr, also
they wflt take captive my son Samuel who
is of age to go to war ana woo u
in tharmy that fought against the Pbdls-
For tbe Qneen ban beard what tbe ar
mies of the great king Abraham i had done
to the people of the South and East coun
try, bow the bad robbed themof their jew
els of gold, and had carried away their
iroodly raiment and their precious treasures.
And the king answered and said unto
her, Behold this will we do; Let my son,

saddle my horse, and harness my mule to
the wagon, nod Irt him take with htm bread
and changes of raiment and a store of pre

will will not find ban and tnua we

And very early iu the morning, a great
while befoSM day when the king rose up
and looked out of bis window, behold the
Philistines were encamped in the yard of
the palace with their bones and their
mules a mi lny host.
And thev broke open the king's rtorc-
house and took from thence corn and fod
der for their beasts and meat for their men ;
they broke down also the fence that was
h7rto"wsSa tttttam.7
tiul iho au msnv of the hos's of the
Philistines were encamped rouna aoout
them yet were not tbe Queen and bcr
maidens affriirhted M they supposed they
W
should have been, insomuch that when it
was day, the maidens went out into the
yard of the palace and many of the officers
nod chief anaMajai came up and tainted
them and spoke peaceably unto them.
But tbe chief musician of tbe place, EH,
whose surname was Krutch when be heard
tk.t th PhiliatinM were coming, became
exceeding affrighted so that his hair stood
up like quills upon tbe porcupine and his
eyes started out of bis head like the eyes
of tbe rabbit when the hunter is pursuing
him.
And be took with bim a change of rai
ment, and departed from the palace in fear
and great haste, and fled from before the
face of the Philistines many joarne7
unto the mountaines of the west country
and the king saw him no more.
Now it came to pass alter many uays
that peace was restored and the land had
rest Nevertheless he was great suffer
ing and distress in the land by reason ot tne
mm. And the kin TS affairs prospered and
bis household multiplied so that there was
no king like him in all tbe tana.
Bat the Queen began to be in want of
dishes for tbe service of her table, of plates
and knives and spoons to set before her
maidens ; likewise also tbe store witn its
vessels of iron wm broken in pieces so
that she was sorely vexed to prepare bread
and meat for her household.
And when the king saw tbe trouble ana
distress of the Queen he was much grieved
hmt and he said behold I will KO to the
enough and to spare, h may be they will
open their hearts ana give me mouy uu
treasures and vessels for the convenience
of jny household; for verily my own peo
ple are too poor to help me.
. , . , V A i,k horn
ana we sung ruc up u w.
tbe Qaeea and went many day's journey
a a St . I A . .
among tbe people ot tne norm bb.;i
ana be found favor among those that had
known him aforetime and they gave him
money and vessels of earthenware and iron
and tin for the use of bis household.
And the king took of the money tnat
. 1 1 i . ill a
was given nim ana uougui -
stove of curious workmanship, witn vess
els of iron and tin and copper; and the
queen was so pleased with it that sue set
it up in a corner rootn of the palace as thou
lookeat toward tbe South weat. -
And when the king saw that tbe queen
had been for a long time nresiaing over
her maidens In the great hall of the palace
and that she needed rest he made diligent
search among his kinfolk and acquaintance
and found the lady Lucy wno nan oeco...c
famous as a teacher in the land of the
Tennosseans, and the king brought her to
his house and set her over tbe maidens in
the great hall instead of Queen Caroline. -And
the Lady Lucy ruled over the maid
ens with a strong, hand, and made them
obedient to her laws, and they did what
ever she commanded them, and against the
disobedient she set marks so that they
feared exceedingly to transgress her com-
a ,wl l,o kins? was oleascd when he saw
bow wisely the Lady Lucy ruled over the
. w 1 Vt 1 .11 !...,. Ian
maidens, and be saia ueuoia now wiere
no household in all tne lana so weu oa
d as mine.
But the King's chiel musician was gone
aad the King was much troubled thereat.
And the Kiiisr heard ot tbe tame ot nenry
wIwmu. father had come from the land of
the Germans, and who had token to 1 im a
wife from tbe danghtera of Virginia, ana
the Kine sent letters to him entreating him
to come and be his chief musician
eW , ',, t.i. i. : ...
bo be came, ne ana nis wire who ,
and tbey abode in the palace with Uie
King ; and he g ve instruction to the niaia
ens in music, and taught them to phiy
skillfully with their fingers upon the Clari
chard and to sing so that their voices
pleased the ear of the King aud Queen
and of all who heard them.
Aad it came to pass that the water of
tbe well that was in the yard of the Kings
palace did fail by reason of the earth that
tell down from the sides of tbe well inso
much that tbe servants of 'he King could
wt Irani thence no waler for his house
hold.
And the Qneen was greatly troubled
and she spake unto her lord the King and
said unto him, behold now we can draw no
water from the well, neither for ourselves
nor for the sons nor for the maidens that
are with us. Hast thou brought me out I
Tf the land of Georgia, from a country well j
watered and abounding in springs and '
' brooks of water to this barren land to per
NUMBER 152
ish of thirst, I and my children and my
msidens with mo ?
And the King waa sorely grieved at
heart when he saw the distress of tbe
Queen, and he went unto Joseph the mer
chant, a cunning man a wUe man and said
unto hint, Behold now, thon art n wise and
skilful man, come therefore with me and
show me where 1 may dig for a well aud
find water.
And straigbHray Joseph harnessed his
a. . . - sWea" areaa- mmmmr mm A J It.
went Into the King's garden, and cut a
forked branch from a peach tree that grew
io tbe garden, and he took the ends of the
fork and held them iu the palms of his two
hands cunningly so that the joint of the
stick pointed upward toward the
And be walked about in tbe yard of the
palace holding tbe stick fast in his hands,
and when he came to a certain place, be
hold the joint of the branch turned of its
own accord and pointed downward to the
And when the King and the prophet
Samuel saw the stick that it turned of it
self and pointed downward, they were as
tonished beyond measure and they said
we never saw it before on this fashion.
And Joseph the merchant said unto the
King : Intfiis place where the s kk pointed
downward mayest thou dig and find wa
ter. ,
And again be did the same on the other
side even on the north side of the palace,
and when be came to a certain place on tbe
north side, behold the stick turned the sec
ond time and pointed downward". And
Joseph said unto the king: Here also may
est thou dig and find water. And, when
he had shown the King these things be
departed to his own boose.
And it came to pass after a time that
upon a set day the prophet 8amuel made
a feast in his house and invited tbeKIng
and Queen and the Lady Lucy and like
wise the chief musician Henry and his
wife. ...... tf
And it was st that when the maidens
saw that the King and Qneen and the La
dy Lucy were to-be gone from the palace
tL Ueu , jr ,T"x "T
higly for they said within themselves.
Behold now when they are gone we will
enjoy ourselves and have our own pleas
ure for a little while.
Howbei., by reason of a great storm that
arose the Lady Lucy eould not go to the
f't at And whati the maidens saw that
be was not going from the palace then
countenances fell and tbey lecame sorrow
ful, and they said one to another Behold
now all our fun is spoiled. ,
But aftere feast was over and the
king bad returned to the palace, the chief
musician and his wife and the prince John
and some of the older maidens who were
skilful made an entertainment for the maid
ens in the palace of the king, and they
