and before they Could draw a sword or ho 1
time to recover their presence of mind, over
powered and secured them also. All was
lost.; The plot had been discovered, and
death of course awaited those who had taken
any part in it.
Before noon of the third day following, all
the conspiraiors were condemned to the
block and at sunset the count was to be exe
cuted on a scaffold erected a day or two pre
viously near the bay and beneath the shadow
of one of the royal residences. The few hours
of respitegranted to him were being spent on
his knees in preparing for his doom and in
lamenting his hard fate in not beiug able to
bid a last farewell to Gf iziila, when the
door of his cell opened softly and a muffled
figure approached with a few words written
on a strip of vellum, which caused him to
bound to his feet.
‘•What other token do you bear!” he ejac
ulated quickly, on reading the scroll.
“This,’’ replied the figure, presenting a
ring that was at once recognized by the count
as the one shown to him in the moonlight by
Graziala.
“I shall obey,” ho returned; “but T find
you are to mount the scaffold with 1119.”
“Yes.” replied the str inger, “the guards
will make no objection, as I have deel ired
that you have promised to reveal an import
ant secret to me just before you lay your
head on the block. Address a few words to
the sol Hers after wa have both gained the
centre of the scaffold, and so manage it that
when you have got them interested you may
introduce the exclamation, ‘my head’s my
own yet!’ Then stand erect and rigid, abid
ing the issue.”
This was mystery upon mystery; but catch
ing a gleam of hope from the ring he again
assured the stranger, whom he now perceived
to be a rnan well stricken in years, that he
would follow his directions implicitly nor
feel surprised or moved at anything that
might possibly occur at the place of execu
tion. Upon this his visitor withdrew as noise
lessly as he had come, closing the door behind
him and shooting the bolts on the outside.
The scaffold, as before stated, was erected
near the bay and in full view of one of the
roval palaces From beneath this palace
subterranean passages led in various direc
tions, one of them opening into a small cav
ern on the sea-shore, whose mouth was con
cealed by masses of foliage and whose com
munication with the palace was known to
but one or two persons only. Shortly before
the time appointed for the execution a party
of soldiers had marched *0 the place of death
and surrounded the scaffold, and just as the
sun was disappearing from the heavens
Count Henry issued forth from his pri-on,
accompanied by a strong guard who led him
slowlv in their midst to the fatal spot. By
his side walked the strange visitor of his ceil

most remote idea that Antonio the fisherman
was the terrible iiobl- Pietro Brazzani, or
that the lovely Gr&zial 1 was his wealthy and
powerful niece Cuthi riiie. However, he was
soon to have more fight on this point for as
they pressed foi ward through the subter
ranean passage, 011 mrning an angle they
perceived a light at some distance and on a
nearer approach perceived that it was held
by a female figure who stood dose by the
side of another. In a a in-tant a cry of the
wildest delight b oke fro n the lips of the
count, for oue of the figures was that of
Graziala.
there was no tune tor explanations, so
after an emhraee that the presence of the
others failed to restrain, the fair girl motion
ed the party on. and now with terror and
affr ght, for it was quite evident from ap
proaching voices and lights there was a
party in pursuit not far behind them. The
Lady Ctit ierine, or Graziala, as we shall con
tinue to call her, had gained the passage with
her companion through a branch that com
municated with tha vaults beneath the royal
palace, mentioned as near the place upon
which t 1 e scaffi Id was erected. In her
many sch mes to escape the power and in
fluence of her unci < she had, through a faith-
fa friend. been made acq i tinted wi.h these
u itie ground arteries, and particularly with
the one which led out to the seashore. This
friend was the stranger that had led the
count for so far, and that would have re
leased him from prison had he nor, been
gu .rded so strongly and vigilantly un-Ur the
orders of the cruel Brazzani that escape
t hrough his prison doors was impossible. He
had been surrounded with tenfold vigilance;
and perhaps the importance attaching to him
and the conviction that he the chief conspir
ator was secure, tended greatlv towards the
escape of his companions, who had been
transferred in a place of less security at some
distance from that of his own confinement.
When Count Pietro perceived the iron
door he ordered it to be broken ooen at once.
Tins however, was not readily effected, and
before it could be accomplished Count Henry
had already reached the spot where he en
countered his betrothed. The minister .was
not slow to discover that there was treach
ery in the ease and that the prisoner had
made his escape through the machinations of
some one of note, and who was in possession
of all the secrets of the underground psssages.
Now, however, he felt he was on their track,
and hoping t > overtake the fugitives before
they could effect a permanent escape and to

he led t ie wav rapidly with his followers,
his eyes glaring like those of a tiger, until at

alluded to and through which the five fugi

It was midnight in Russia, one of those
clear moonlight nights for which the North
of Europe is distingui-hed, when by the aid
of tha brilliant northern lights, it is as con
venient to travel by night as by day. Madame
de Eufiedel the betrothed of Patkul, was
every moment expecting Mm to return from
a town to the court of Poland where he had
b-en a number of months on an important
mission as Embassador and General of the
Czar of Ru.-sia. Madame de Eufiedel had
ordered her maids to retire, and now in soli
tude she paced the walks of the courtyard
wondering, and still wondering why Patkul
did not make his appearance.
The following day was the one appointed
by Patkul fori he cele lira ion of their nup
tials, and that night the one on which he had
declared his intention to be in Russia. But
as 1 he moments lengthened into hours, and
ha did not come, Madame de Eiifiedel con
eluded to return to her chamber.
After a few hours of tr oubled and lyire
frosting slumber, she arose and her maids
attended her to breakfast,. Asshesat dream
ily sipping her chocolate, a vaiet entered
with a le- ter for his mistress. Madam's de
Eufiedel eagerly snatched it from his hand
and broke the seal. After perusing a part of
its contents, she uttered a scream which filled
her maids w ith the utmost tenor, and no
sooner had they reached tier side than she
sank into a fainting liMedical assistance

from one attack, than another, 1110 e alarm
ing if possible 1 ban the former, succeeded.
Thus painfully passed the day with Madame
ile Eufiedel, that was to have made her the
bride of General Patkul.
The terrible news that was attended with
such distressing consequences to this magni
ficent woman, was that Patkul was imprison
ed at Alt>-anstad under direction of Charles
Twelfth King of Sweden, already having
been tried by a council of war, who con
demned bim to be broken alive on the wheel
and then quartered. Charles Twelfth was
at that period a monarch at whose name a
gre iter parr, of Europe trembled, although
he afterwards met with adversity, and was
himself detained a prisoner at Turkey. In
the earlier part of his reign he was styled the
conqueror. Indeed he was once heard to m i,ne lan.i gra-aeu in our pa.enr we pray

who ever and anon whispered something in j weapons, as in descending to the iron door,
his ear. In a short time they reached the
scaffold, on which the headsman with his ax
was already seen standing. There were no
hostile popu'ar demonstrations against the
prisoner indu'ged in by those who were the
witnesses of his misfortune; so that he was
permitted to mount the scaffold in the most
profound silence. While all eyes were riv
eted upon him and upon him only, his strange
guide placed him standing in the precise cen
tre of the fl >01-, which was of oak and built
upon heavy wooden posts sunk deep into the
earth and closely walled in with massive
plank. It was strange that a structure that
was to serve but a temporary purpose should

of the opening above, taking lanterns and
implements for breaking open the obstruc

was the first to descend by means of a tem
porary la-id-r; and as not more than three
enemies whom he repeatedly engaged in war.
He dethroned Augustas the King of Poland,
and placed Ssamshlaw Licnnsky there in
stead, and now in defiance to the laws of
nations, he had caused the sentence of death
to be pronounced upon the Czar’s Embassa
dor. John Remold Patkul was a native of
Livonia, a beautiful and fertile province be
longing 10 Sweden, ai d was condemned to
eath by Charles Eleventh for carrying to
the throne the complaints of the province,
the people of whom had been stripped of
their privileges, and their patrimonies, but
made his escape to die a st 11 more tragical
death at the hands of C larles Twelfth. Af
ter his escap 3 from Livonia, he became the
minister to Augustus Kiqg of Poland, but
at'ierwards entered into the service of the
Cz ir.
The most singular circumstance connected
with the affair ty.as that Augustus, now a de
throned king and one whom Patkul had de
fended. was the one to arrest him and cast
community, was str kingly manifested by
the corporation of Massachusetts Bay, w hose
c mrter extended from a line three miles south
of Charles river to another three miles ninth
of “any and every part” of the Merrimac.
Each contributor and each stockholder re
ceived two hundred acres of land for every
fifty pounds sterling paid in, while stockhol
ders and ot ers who emigrated at the r own
evp. use received fifty ac • s lor each member
01 ta i f irniii and each indentured servant.’
i his shows that it was a rural home in this
land of freedom, and not town lots of semi
annual dividends,thatthe e liberal adventur
ers sought, and we find mr her confirmation
of ther agricultural proebvit < s in the nven-
tories of the supplies sent by the corporation
to the new colony. “Vyne planters” are
mentioned usually after “ministers,” then
come hogsheads of wheat, rye, barley and
oats, unthreshed; beans, peas and potatoes;
Stones of all kinds of fruit; apple, pear and
quince kernels; hops, licorice uni madder
ro >t- ■ fi <x and woi.d seed; < urrant plants and
tame turkeys. Cattle were imported by the
colonists, not only from various parts of
England, but from Holland, Denmark and
the Spanish Main, forming a noble founda
tion for that “native stock,” which, w hen
carefully reared and wall fed, is at least
equal to many of the vaunted imported
breeds. Horses, sheep, swine and goats were
also imported from Europe in large numbers.
Neither was horticulture neglected, lor we
find that Governor Endicott nad a vegetable
garden and vineyard in i62!l, and two year:
afterwards he plained the famous pear orch
aril, of which one venerable survivor still
bears the patriarchal h nors.
The rights of the Indians, it is pleasing to
record, were scrupulously observed by the
settlers of Massachusetts Bay. More than
fifty years before William Penn made his
much talked of treaty with the natives at
Philadelphia, announcing those principles of
amity and of equity upon which he desired
that their future intereourse should be con
ducted, the officers of the company in Eng
land wrote to Governor Endicott: “And
above all, we pray yt u to be careful that
there be none in our precincts permitted to
do any injury, in the least kind, to the heath
en people; and if any offend in that way, let
them receive due correction. And we hold
is fitting that we publish a proclamation to
that effect, by leaving it fixed under the
company’s seal in some eminent place, for ell
to take notice, at such time as both the heath
en themselves, as well as other people, may
take notice of it. If any of the savages pre

Swedish turnips were the staple vegetables.
The bread was generally made of corn, bar
ley or rye meal, and if the diet was rather
farinhesous than animal, there was less do
mind for medicine, and a larger, longer

these degenerate days of luxury and “pro

Augustus, however, did not intend that
Patkul should be delivered to King Charles.
Although he sent his guards to deliver this
unhappy man to the S wedish troops, he dis
patched a secret order -to the governor of
clay 71'Vo 1 IT the r—c—u-,
This order was religiously obeyed, and there
was hardly a town where the Indian title
was not extinguished bv purchase.
The immigrants found that Boston had
“sweet and pleasant springs and good land,
affording rich corn grounds and fruitful gar
dens,” but as their numbers rapidly increased,
they formed colonies in various directions,
especially in “Wonne-sqnam-sauke” (now
Essex county), for its “pleasant, waters” were
unwooded meadows suitable for pasturage
and for grass cutting, while the uplands were
well adapted for tillage. Squatter sovereign
ty was unknown, for no individuals were
permitted to establish themselves within the
limits of the colony. Each body swarmed
out in community with a regular allotment
of individual farms, based in extent upon the
wealth of the settlers, and a great p isturage,
a peat meadow, a salt marsh and fishing
grounds held in common. These farms were
so laid out that no house was over a half a
mile from the meeting-house, and it was with

munities sprang up like the fabled warriors

disens- will be answered under this head
when this can be d, ne with propr*ety.
When, from the nature of the case, oroth-
er reasons, a private answer is desired, a
full description should be sent, with a
stamp enclosed. Address Dr. Wilson as
above, writing middle name iu full.
Trealmcnt of Consnmptiop.
Dr. Alonzo Clark, of New York, su\s truly
that the treatment of cm tu option ‘is iu a
very great degree hygienic ” And i will
add, that bring hygienic, it is, in a “veiy
great degree,” in the hands of the people
themselves; and therefore, that persons who
will tnkea little trouble to inform themselves
can often carry out 1 lie treat ment much more
successfully than co dd be done by putting
themselv.s under the care of a ply sieian who
relies more on drugs than on hygiene.
Dr. Clark is not one of this class; for he
says hat a gentleman came to hi n a good
many years ago who had been for a year un
der his advice, and was improving, but at
the same time complaining thit (hi doctor
had never sent him to the druggist with a
prescription. The doctor’s reply t > the com
plaint Was, “Yes, I remember that, and a
and a great many others that I have not sent
to the druggist with a prescription.” In this
case instead of sending (he patient to the
druggist he sent him to Mexico to tiavel on
horseback.
Among the first requisites in consumption
scarcely less important than food itself, is
fresh air. This fresh air is to be sought out
of doors and should be combined with exer
cise, of which riding on horseback is the best
if the patient has sufficient strength,but it will
hardly be necessary to go to Mex co, and to
dress up like a Mexican to get the benefits of
this exercise. If a horse cannot be had,
walking is the next best exercise, and should
be taken daily, as muen as the strength will
allow.
The food should be of the most nour
ishing-kind with an oily .element as an ingre
diene. Milk, and especially cream, comes
nearer supplying all the wants of the system
and is generally b -tier adapted to the powers
of digestion tnaii any other food. Dr. Clark
savs that if consumptives can get cream “it
will fill all the conditions of cod-liver oil;”
an opinion which is doubtless correct, and
one that I have long entertained. And who
would think of taking the nauseous and ex
pensive cod-liver oil if he could get good rich
sweet cream, when he has every reason to
believe that, it will do him as much or more
good than the oil! The truth is, the virtues
of cod-liver oil are not due to a minute quan
tity of iodine contained in it, nor to any oth -
er strictly medicinal ingredient, as has been
supposed, but to the oil or fatty mat'er in its
cotupo- i ion which gois to build up and sustain
the syst in. Therefore, cod-liver oil should be
classed among 'he nutriments and not among
the drugs; but beinga most abominable food,
milk or ere mi shout 1 be preferred, as they
contain the ody element and other ingredi
ents for building up all parts of the system:
and elements, too, winch are not contained
in the cod-liver or any other oil.
There is no class of remedies more often
and more improperly used in consumption
than alcoholic stimulants. In most cases they
do no good, in many they do great harm, and
in all they had better be dispensed with, ex
cept under the conditions expressed in the
following extract from the author above
quoted. He says; “As to the use of alcoholic
stimulants in consumption, it seems to me
that they are over-valued, at any rate by
some of the brethren. I scarcely give them
at all, and I s-e a great many throw off the
