As if megnet drawn, some steps drew near her; No wer it seemed that they bad to choose. Freaihsii thev went, tirst one, toea another. "IIa ! We had" not a moment to loe !" Cried one as he leaned on the snowy deck. What was to hinder their going to wreck It was ail so straube. "Dear Love, are we dead ."' A trembling girl looked around, and said. Hush! no!" cried her lover. "Beginning to live!'As be spoke, they lelt the anchor give, And vhe silken banner fluttering: out.

Thanks te to God for this gift of If is grace. The Independent. THE CHURCH ORGAN. I?y John A. Madron. tanhope Christian Church was dead. All tie Jlethodists and Fresbyterians said so, and the Baptist joined in the chorus. If so numerous and respectable a portion of the community said so, why should the unsanctioned doubt? It was a distressing state of affairs to be sure, and the organ was the cause ef it all. One bigoted man, to whom contrariness seemed a virtue, did not believe that hymns should be sung to the music cf an instrument with the devil in it. His objections were perpendicularly emphatic. Every member aked every other member what was to be done. The congregation had repeatedly urged Elder Andrews to allow the use of the organ (there was a good one standing idle in the church), but he did not want to offend anybody, he said, and thought it tad tetter not be. The argument was ncate that there was only one person to be offended, while, on the other hand, the attendexce was Tailing olf dreadfully, and that even many members were joining rival organizations, where progression had pushed fogyisra from their decrs. But it was of no avail. The sincere jvere in despair, and as time went on and the ar'airs of the church went t . i i . -j. , , i i . livui unci iu wurse, it was linaiiy resoiveu to Irlrg matters to a crisis. So, at Wednesday sight prayer rueetine, a committee V"as appcinted to call upon Mr. Andrews, to insist nf.cn the playing of the organ on the very jest Sunday. The committee was composed cf John Ellis, who led the singing, and was a good, honest Christian with progressive ideas; Alice Barnett, who was organist for the Sumlay-school. and Douglas Alcott, who made it a joint of business to believe in the YieWS Of Church jolity held by the levelheaded Alice, for she was soon to become hi3 wife. Alcott had subscribed :?100 to the orpan fund, and did not attempt to-coiiceal his vexation at its enforced silence. Friday afternoon was the time appointed to call upon the pastor. At 2 o'clock of that day Douglas walked very rapidly toward the Earcett residence, in order to have a chat with Alice before John Ellis came. The fair musician was alone as he entered the parlor, and she came forward to meet hira with troubled eyes. "What is it, Alice?" Douglas asked. 'T know you have sonvsiaing serious to tell ire." "I have iust been thinking, Douglas," she answered, "whether we ought to ask Mr. Andrews to do this thing. You know the burden of the blame will fall upon -him. and Mr. Dodge is such a vindictive man! I believe I have actually grown nervous thinking about it." "You must not think of it, then. Eut I tell you, Alice, we must use the organ, we rnnst have a choir, and be generally a little mere modern, or, to use John Ellis' words, our cnurch will be ruined. 1 admit that it is a little hard on the Elder to have to shoulder the blame, but he can well afford to carry it, even at ths expense of mortally offendirg Old Dodge." 'That is just it," Alice exclaimed. "I ran not believe that he really cares about ?dr. Dodge's likes or dislikes concerning the church, for he must know than o obstinate a man can not be a Christian. There is Eoccething else at tbe bottom of tbe trouble." "Why, what else could there be ."' DDuglas Ud, surprised. "I will tell yon. but yon must not mention it. I waa walking on Main street today and 1 passed llr. Dodge and Elder Andrews, who were talkink very earnestly. I beard the Klder say, 4 Well, I was not to tlame, and tiod knows I am trying now to treach the Gospel as it should be preacheJV I did not understand Mr. Dodge's reply, but I think he shook his fist in the Elder's face, and I know by his looks that he was very angry. I have been wondering ever since whether Mr. Andrews has a secret.' "A good cause for wonder, indeed," said Alcott laughing. "You will make a novelist. Do you suspect that he has murdered a wife or rotted a bankf ' 'Oh, dear no! I never thought of anything half so serious as that, but there is John Ellis coming, and it is time for us to go. I will run and get ready while he is coming in, for he is so dreadfully impatient," and as the punctual John came in at one door the obliging Alice went oat at another. "Well, Alcott, are you ready? I always make it a rule to be on time, and but here is Miss Barnett now." That young lady came in smiling and prepared for the street. "I did not keep you waiting to-day Mr. Ellia. I know you want to be on time and I hurried." Let na precede them to the bouse of the pastor and judge for ourselves what manner cf man he is. We pass down a pleasant street until we come to a church, which we know by its very plainness was built by the followers of Alexander Campbell. Next to the church is a cottage standing a little back from the street. The small yard in front is made beautiful with Mowers of almost every variety. We pass in at the gate and np the walk t the front door, which stands partly open. We stop now, for there are voices within. "I am afraid, Anna," the good man is saylrf, "that it is not worth while for me to try to stay here. Dodge says if the organ is played te wjji eujei teil tut tngw about

that eld business trouble cf mine which brought so much cf failure an! anxiety, so much of sorrow and distress, and if be does I

suppose they will all be for sending me adrift," "I would not think: of it, James," a soft voice answered. "We have prayed for guid ance, and let us have faith that our prayers will be answered in the neht way ana at the right time." "You are right, iittiewoman, as you always are; bnt my heart grows faint when I think cf you and our boys having to go back to the stilling air of the city. You can not tell how I have rejoiced in your rosy cheeks. and cur children look at them now as they sleep; hew different they look from the pale and sickly babes they were." His voice wa9 very low and tender as he spoke of his two V 4 1 a kiitn anil on.kin Uta nrf t VAICP ft n WPfi tunc ivj t, aiiu aaiJi miv siv iuivvw. v.v him. . "I know we are all roucli better here, bnt you are workine for Him and not for us. He will provide, and if we must leave here there will be some other place open for yon to do His work. His promises do not fail and man's very often do, therefore let us not fail in our duty." "Your are a dear little saint," the minister aid. "You always make my faith stronger. I wonder what our people would say if. they knew you helped me with evry sermon I preach to them." "Oh, vou must not tell that, for it is very little 1 do, after all." Our committee now arrived. John Ellis, in his usual hurried fashion, went at once to the obieet of their visit His anrument was strong and earnest. In ruggeu and manly words he pleaded for progress in the cause of the Ixrd. Progression was the order of the universe, the law of God. Music was the voire of the soul, the expression of the heart. Ey its magic the sinner was softened and wicked thoughts were driven away. It appealed to ruan's better nature, to the spirit which reaches out for something higher and holier. What charm equalled it? What subtle spell was so obnoxious to the pow ers of darkness? Man had been endowed by his Creator with the genius of invention and through that gut he had been enabled to construct an instrument which could Mend its sweet tones with human voices in praise and devotion. Should that instrument be excluded as -a thing of evil? It cught not to be, for it was the handiwork of the genius given of !od, a monument to the glory of Heaven. Were not radiant angels represented in the Holy benptures as playing on harps before the very face of the Almighty Ruler?" The good brother had grown almost eloquent as he proceeded, and when he had finished the rastor complimented him for bis earnestness and zeal. "But," said he, "while I grant all you say, is it not our duty to ascertain whether there are any conscientious Christians who will stay away from church if we do as you wish? Should we not first see the objectors again and endeavor to convince them that there is no wron in that which produces good?" "Oh, Erother Andrews," Alice Harnett cried, "1 believe there is only one person who objects, and I am fearful that he is not a christian." "The man to whom you reler is Erother Dodge, I am sure," and the pastor's face paleu a tritie. "lie has given me to understand that he will not attend, and that he will keep his family at home. This grieves me very much, but I believe that it is God's will that we should have good music in His house, and so it shall be as you wish." John Ellis slapped his hands oh his knees several times in an energetic way that was habitual with him when feeling particularly enthusiastic, and thanked the minister heartily for his consent. "It is our duty to be progressive in these days." he added, ' and I know l-eople are better men and women and better Christians for the music there is in the world'" You are certainly right, Mr. Ellis," said Mrs. Andrew, "yet we have- to convince some people that there is religion in music, or," she said, smiling, "'in this case, that ' tuere is religion in an organ." The committee soon took their leave, and upon the facts of the men the success of their undertaking was plainly written ; but when Alcott looked into the eyes of the fair Alice he again saw that troubled expression which he had observed so shortly before. "Douglas," she said, as they fell somewhat behind their impatient companion, "I am convinced that that man has a secret, but what it is I can not even imagine. You remember he spoke about having Iiis prayers answered. 1 wonder in what way he expects the answer to come." ,ll am sure I don't know," laughed Douglas; -i-erhaps by a miracle, as in the olden time." Alice looked skeptical, but said nothing, and, as there were but three days to wait, she dismissed the matter from her mind. On Sunday morning, as she took her place in church, she glanced at the Elder's face and was shocked at its pallor. He was seated before the altar, with his back to the choir and onzan, and, as the people kept coming in, his nervousness increased. At last he arose and gave out his text: "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord." He then read the hymn "My Faith Looks Ep to Thee." Turning to Alice when he had read the last line he motioned with his hand for lur to take her place at the organ. The choir and congregation sang the hymn through, and Alice was returning to her seat, when she was startled by hearing the organ pealing forth the notes of the song, and, as she believed, without human aid. Looking toward the pastor she was surprised to see him as one transfigured. His face was turned upward, and the care and trouble which had so lately found an abiding place there were gone, and, instead, there had come a look of faith and peace, and as the organ ceased, after the invisible musician had played one verse through, he arose and addressed the congregation. My friends, 1 was glad when it was Slid unto nie." 'onie into the bouse of the Iord." To-day I felt a cns:s in my life. I have a confession to make a confession of weakness and error it may be, but, I thank God, free from any intentional sin. Some years ago I left college expecting to preach the Gos)l of Christ. It may be that my faith was not very strong then, but I believed that I COUld preach honestly and skicerely and in any place that I chose. I was mistaken. Alter going to one place and then another, I was finally installed in one of tbe Mission C'Lorches of Cincinnati. I was a poor man 4.her, as I am to-day, and the salary of $3)0 which J received for unremmitting service, was scarcely adequate, even with the most rigid economy, for the support of myself ami family. After a while sickness came and one of my children, my only girl. died. My heart, although I thought I was a Christian, rebelled asrainst the loss of m beautiful one. 1 could not then say, "Thy will be done," for I thought that if my salary had been larger I could have saved my darling's life, fcoon after she was laid to sleep beneath the violets I resigned my charge, Hut over the entreaties of my wife. My conscience would not permit me to preach unto others tbe faith which I myself had lost. I will not weary you with' the recital of my failures to obtain employment in some other business. At last, in an evil hour, I borrowed money from my friends and invested it in an enterprise which proved a disaster, and I was unable to return what I had obtained, or to longer provide a roof for my loved ones. Then my wile renewed her entreaties for me to return to my original work. I determined to do so, and prayed for strength and faith and opportunity to redeem myself. The l"rst answer to that prayer was your call to come here; and out of my salary I have been retrieving my error, but Dot until today were my doubts of myself fully dispelled. When my consent was asked to the -laying of the organ at. services in this house hesitated, fearing to give offense to any mem Der cf my congregetion; but it must have been God's hand that moved the keys of that instrument at the conclusion of the, singing, and wh3t He does He does well. If there is one Jn this house who has miv trusted me if there is one who has suspected me of being a worse man than I am, let that one believe me, for I have told the troth, and Lrom this pacxed place I that out

common Master shall judge me according to what I have spoken."

The congregation were amazed when the organ sent forth the strains of the hymn, apparently without the assistance of human hands, and they were astonished and yet relieved to hear their pastor's stery. At the conclusion of the sermon all. with the exception of Jacob Dodge, went forward and expressed increased confidence in the nprightness of his life and in the purity oi bis intentions. Ja cob had failed, and he ground his teeth audibly as he went from the doors of the church which he has never since en tered. With the meanness which was the predominant trait in his character he had informed himself of the past life of the pastor and with that knowledge he had attempted to intimidate him into opposition to the almost unanimous wishes of the congrega tion. A few day9 later Alice Barnett received a call from the minister's wife, and wasgreatly surprised when that most worthy woman said that she had a confession to make. Her husband, she said, had asserted that it would take a miracle to restore his faith. and the thought had occurred to her that she could enter the door at the rear of the church without being seen. The organ was very near the door and although she went with fear and trembling she reached the organist's seat without detection and when there, owing to the box-like struction around it, she was secure from observation. But the deception lay rather heavv on her heart and she felt that it would be a relief' to tell it to her friend, and that friend, it may be said, felt it a relief to have it told. If the good man who was the object of this solicitude reads this bit of history he is too much of a Christian, now to have his faith shaken. The Christian Church at Stanhope is not dead. All of its three hundred members say so and the Methodists and Tresbyterians and Eaptists join in the chorus. If so numerous and respectable a portion of the community say so, why should ordinary sinners doubt. It is a happy state of afFairs and the organ is the cause of it all. JOHN BROWN'S NEPHEW. Larry Jerome in a New Character An In dignant Virginian. Mr. Larry Jerome has been amusing hims If again, writes a Washington correspondent of the New York Star. Coming over from New York a few days ago, he found himself next to a young man from Virginia, whe turned out to Be as inquisitive as he was fresh. Seeing that his companion pined for information with an appetite truly omni voious, Jeremc squared himself for a howiing time. He lured the inquiring irginian into the smoking compartment, and by the use of various arts whereof he is master, launched him in a raging sea of interrogation. Having discovered that the youth was from Virginia and saturated with the peculiar ideas of his section, Jerome fired his bomb: "I m going to Kichmond." "You are. Why, I'm from " "My uncle," said Jerome, "was once quite prominent in connection with Virginia. I don't talk about it much, because I still fed sore. I'm trying to get over the passions and wounds of the war, you known terrible thing, the war, wasn't it?" "Yes, terrible. But what ?" "I'm doing it, though. I'm getting so I can travel through West Virginia without wanting to kill the leading "citizens. The bloody chasm is almost bridged. If it were not lor my uncle I shouldn't feel so queer about going to Kichmond. I'm rather afraid of myself, though. My uncle, you see " '"Who was your URCle?" said the Virglanian, beside himself with curiosity. "Oh, didn't 1 tell you? Why, John Brown was my uncle." "John Drown ! You don't nipan " "I mean the sainted martyr, John Brown, who was hung at Charleston hung by a set of bloody outlaws. Why, when I think of that infamous butchery," shrieked Jerome, waving his arms wildly about and making his eyes protrude, "I want to wallow in Virginia blood. I fee as though the sacrifice of the Mayor and City Council of Richmond wouldn't take off the edge of my fury. Yes, sir, I do." bir," bawled the irginian, as the train shot into a Baltimore tunnel, "I am a Virme. "iou insult my ginian. You insult noble State." Then the train shot into the open, disclosing the youth, Hushed, excited, ready to fight the whole veteran corps, and trembling all over with passion. "bit down, sit down," said Larrv sadly, pullinc the reluctant youth back into his seat. "That's all over with me. Can't you let a stricken nephew grieve over his martyred uncle? I'm too old for-fighting. I talk that's all." The Virginian sat down rather gingerlv, looking at Jerome with doubtful eyes, as he went on pensively: "You ought to have seen me when I was with my regiment in '02. I loved the battle. If I've killed one rebel I've killed a hundred. Always with my sword, sir always. Those fellows all wore their hair very long, didn't they? It always amused me to see their beads lying around where I had been, and all that absurd hair tousled about. Did you ever notice it? No; I suppose you must have been too young." "It wouldn't have amused me, anyhow." said the Virginian stiffly. "Wouldn't it, indeed! 'How odd! Now, I always laughed consumedly at our fellows who got killed. Y'ou know. I commanded a regiment of Vermonters. George Edmunds he's a Senator now, but he was one of my lieutenants then. Gallant fellow, George was! Too much dash too reckless you know wanted to kill rebels all the time. 1 used to argue with him, but it was no good. He wouldn't take time to sleep. Just wore himself out. 1 never expected to see him go through. He was shot right through and through once with a grape. That's what gave him that red nose really disfigured the poor fellow, I declare. But, as I was saying, I used to laugh at our fellows when they got killed. Heartless sort of thing to do; 1 couldn't help myself. You have heard ever been to Vermont? No? Then you den't know, but you may have heard, what big feet Vermonters have. Well, my fellows had stich big feet they couldn't fall down. When they were shot they would die standing, and then we'd have to go round after the rebels had run away and push the boys over with poles, before we could bury 'era. Funniest thing you ever saw. Hello! Here we are in Washington. Very glad to have met you. See you in Kichmond? And Jerome bustled out of the car, leaving the Virginian speechless, and the colored porter doubled up in convulsions on the floor of the pantry. The Coke Strikers Gain Their Point. MoimtHj.easaxt.Ph., Feb. 20.-Thi afternoon the Board of Conciliation on the part of the strikers met with the syndicate representatives, composed of H. C. Frlck, of the Frick Coke Company; Colonel J. M, Schoonmaker and his brother, of Sehoonmaker & Co.; s. T. Rafferty, of Mctlure & Co.: Secretary Achison, of the Coke Producers' Association, and Syndicate Agent Strickler, at Scottdale. The conference was strictly confidentlftl, but tbe negotiations w;rc of such a character that notices have been posted at nil the workings that work will be resumed on Monday next at tbe wages paid before the reduction of lei ember lust, which means the grant of the 10 Ier rent advance askc J by the strikers. The English-speaking laborers are lubilant and are painting the community red in this vicinity. The Hungarians, though, maintain a sullen silence, especially at Morewood, where they say they will not return to work until all the prisoners arc libera ted from jail. Distress Atter Kating, The result of indigestion, will no longer be experienced if a half tablespoonful of Simmons Liver Eegulator is taken after each meal. It is such a good digester, and so mild and pleasant in its effects, that it is used by many after a hearty meal to ensure good digestion. The Eegulator does not nauseate or irritate Uie stomach, is pure vegetable, and can be taken in any condition of the system, and, unlike any otter known medicine, when its tjs is discontinue"!, the system is not left constipated, '

Chairs of faience or pottery are liked by many for halls. Many screens have a silk curtain hanging upon a rod in the place of the customary panel. Brass handles of elegant and varied forms are attached, instead of tassled cords, to the lower parts ot blinds, J or drawing them down. For upholstery, raw silk fabrics, unless of a very superior quality, are not durable; the colors easily fade and cause the whole to look defaced after very little wear. Silk plush makes a handsome covering, whether plain or brocaded : the latter is the most serviceable, as the pile does not become as easily flattened down. Most porgeous are the 8uk damasks, brocaded witu velvet in contrasting colors. For real hard wear and service nothing can be chosen to last as well as wool plush. The pile does not flatten, and when selected of a dark maroon or garnet shade will contrast well with almost any surroundings. The French tapestry, in rich, sober hues, brightened with gold and silver thread, makes an elegant curtain without either bands or embroidery. The width, fifty inches, is quite sufficient for a portiere to a sirgle door, and In price it ranges from $2.25 to $1 per yard. A beautiful design can be purchased even for the smaller sum. Crape cloth, handsome and durable, is of the same width and sells for $2.50 the yard, while the old-fashioned damask of unlimited wearing power with which our ancestors covered their furniture and hung their windows appears as a novelty under the high-sounding name of Renaissance drapery, costing from $2 to $1 a vard. For lighter window draperies are seeH scrim, Madras, and, daintiest of all, China silks. The last are perhaps less serviceable than awash goods, but used as inner curtains, with outer ones of scrim or white Madras, they produce a beautiful effect, and are hot liable to fade. They retail at from sixty cents to $1 a yard. Cheese-cloth, unbleached muslin, white canton flannel, 6ilesia, Turkey red. momie cloth the name is legion of the wUikejy goods that have been utilized as J

draperies, and it may be said without hesitation that almost any one of , them is preferable to that long-standing addiction Nottingham lace. There may be some excuse for using this fabric when the housekeeper is so unfortunate as to be already provided with window draperies of it, but there are no palliating circumstances for the offense of deliberately laying in a fresh stock of material sacred to cheap lodgings and showy hotel apartments.

LITTLE FOLKS' SAYINGS. A Sunday school teacher asked his class "Why did God create this beautiful world for men?' A little boy answered: "Because there was no one else there that could do it." "There, see what a good little boy James was. Why can't you be good, as he was?" asked a mother, as she finished reading a Sundayschool book about a eood boy. "Pooh ! lie died, he did. All them good fellers die, they do," retorted the boy, indignantly. Little Bess: "My dollle was awfnl sick last night." Little Eva: "What caused it?" "Well, we had veal culverts for supper, an' I guess she overloaded her stomach." "Bess, my dollie isn't well neither. I fed her cookies, an' they might have been poisoned, you know." "Good gracious! I'd give her some kind of anecdote at once." Philadelphia Call. I? was in school. The school teacher wishing to test the intelligence of her little pupils, asked them: "How many of you know my name is Daisy?" They were silent. At last one little being held np her hand, "I know your name's." Having made this bold statement, she felt she must save herself by an explanation. 'T know your name's Daisy, 'cos every day when I go home papa asks me,How's that daisy school-teacher of yours.! A little seven-year-old in the Episcopal parish at Brandon, Vt., went to her mother in great perplexity, saying: "Mamma, why do we say every Sunday, in church, deliver us from horse doctors?" The mother in amazement replied that no such thing was said. But the child, still persistent, said; "Why, yes we do. Mr. " (meaning the rector) "says: rom all horse doctors, hearsays and skis'ms, and I can't find it anywhere in my book." After an uncontrollable smile, the mother gave the correct rendering of the passage in the litany, and prayed that the child might be delivered from false doctrines, Troy Times.

A Little Girl the Victim of an Atrocious Crime. New Haves. Feb. lU Clara Jennings, the thirteen-year-old daughter of tleorge N.Jennings, a wealthy merchant of South port, was the victim of a brutal assault oa Wednesday last. In broad daylight, when the little girl was on her way to the Southport school, a man who was partially intoxicated staggered up to her, and before she could get beyond his reach grabbed her in his aims aud assaulted her. He looked around to sec if any one was approaching in answer to the child's cries, and for a moment relaxed his grasp of her. she gave a jump at thesame niomentand fled down the main street of the town in the dircetion of her father's store. Her assailant fled. Wheu Clara reached her father she fell in a faint and was uaabltjio articulate. ,Theehild"8 sufferings were horrible. The most eminent physicians failed to restore her to consciousness and she died last night. Because of h ;r inability to give any information coueerniDR the assault the local authorities have bad ditliculty in tracing the criminal. They have suspicions of a hostler in the village, but not sufficient to have him arrested. When Clara was attacked tnree children stood at a distauce, but, dreading similar treatment, lied for their lives. People noticed their flight through the street, but did not suspect the cause. Mr. Jennings heard about these thres children having witnessed the assault, and subsequently (jUCStioired them. One of the trio described a man who answered very much tQ the description of the hostler who is sus)ected. ühe has had the hostler pointed out to her, and confirmed her description of him by saying mat he was the assailant. The other two children who were with her at the time differ with her as to the hostler's connection with therime, and. having seen that individual, have told Clara's father that be is not the man. One other theory which the officials have partially clung to, especially since there seems to be a poor ( hauce of fastening the crime on the hostler, is that a sailor is the guilty man. The day that Clara was assaulted a vessel was moored to the dock at southport, and some of her crew, according to the statements of those who have bceu examined, wandered through the town. Infective James Powers, of New York, has been secured to hunt for the criminal, and it is probable that he will be lynched if found.
