ABECRET WELL KEPT. Between forty and fifty voars o ga an old log church stood on the South Commons in Allegheny Cit v, It was then in the oven country. Adjoining and belanging to the church was g graveyvard, fronting on the public road. . About deybreak one morning in 1840 0 farmer who was on his way to Piteburg with & load of dressed meat, heard gounds issucing {rom the graveyard as il seme one was knocking a box to plecies with un ax. He efimed the fence and stole aloug in the direction of the sound- He had gone but « ghort distanece when heffound & man engnged in robbing a grave. He had heen =o absorbed in his work that he had not heard the approach of his dis cover, and ho was in the act of lift ing the bady from the collin, when he heard the foot of the farmer, The grave was that of a prominent young woman who had been bhu ried the day before. The farmor was was so filled with horror zuld} indignation at the crime that l;o—l forothe man could spring out, he geized a celub that lay near, uud’ dealt the robber a powerful hlos on | the head, The man fell intv the grave and neither uttered a sound nor moved after falling, The far mer beeame alarmed, Dropping into the gravo himself, ho raiscdl the man’s body. The grave robber was none other than the sexton of the church, a man standing high “in the community. He was dead. The farmer hueribd back home, and tetling his relatives of what had oceurred. he at once left the stata. Only five persons ever knew the secret of the graveyard tragedy besides the living principal. Who found the body of the sexton dead in the.grave is not pogitively known by them, but as 1t was giv enout by his family that he died suddenly, and no investigation was ever made, they supposed by some ofthe family before its position was knownto any one else.

He re fuses to reveal the names, but as. firms that the story is true in eyery partignlar.--Fx, UNCLE RUFUS' BOY TALKS LATIN. “My son's come home from de college,” gaid old Rufus, meeting an acquaintance, “You kaye satis fied with his education, ng doubt?” “Oh, monstrous, Why sah, dat boy's got de bes’ edycation in de lan’, 1 kaint understan’ him er tall.
