THE SILENT CHURCH

I've been to Quaker meeting—wife and I shall go again It was so quiet and so neat, so simple and so plain The angers seemed to gather there, from off the other shore, and fold their wings In quietness as though they'd been before. There was no high priced organ there, no costly singing choir, To help yoaraise yonr thoughts to God,and holiness inspire But sitting still in silence, we seemed to feel and Enow The still, smal! vo'ee that entered in and told the way to go.

The walls were fiee from! paintings and costly works of art, That in our modern churches seem to play so large apart For it seems they each endeavor to please the eye of man, And lose all thoughts of plainness In every church they plan. The windows had no colored glass, to shed a gloom around, But God's pure sunlight entered, unrestrained and all unbound, And centered in a little spot, so bright, it seemed to me A glimpse of brightness somewhat like our future home will be. There was no learned minister, who lead as from a book. And showed thatiie had practiced his every word and lcok: But a sermon full ol wisdom was preached by an old Friend, That took right hold of all our thoughts, and held them to the end. He used no high-soundlng words, and had a sing-song way In drawing out his sentences, In what he had to say But told the truth, and told it so that every one who heard Seemed to feel the prompting Spirit, more than just the spoken word. There was no pulpit decked with flowers beauty »ich and rare. And made from costly foreign woods, almost beyond compare But plain and simple as the truths that we had that day heard, The common painted gallery did much to help the word. There was no bustle, noise, or stir as each one took his Beat, But silence settled ovtr all, not solemn, but so sweet, As each one in his quiet way Implored for strength to know The right from wrong in everything, and asked the way to go. It seemed, when I was there, wife, so peaceful and so still, That I was in God's presence, and there to do His will The simple, peaceful quiet, did more to move my heart Than any worship yet had done, with all its show and art. I'm going there again, Wife, and you will like 11 too, I know what it has done for me— twill do the same for you And you, when once you've entered through the plain but open door Will wonder why you've never tried the simple church before. —I.

A Holiday Diversion.

And so all I bad to do was to go the country and enjoy myself Tor

into

for six

weeks—that is wbatltcame to. Wby, if any one had struck me with a feather at the moment the doctor uttered his verdict I should certainly have been knocked down fortunately no sucb atrocity was attempted, so I maintained as erect a posture as my enfeebled health would allow until the eminentlicentiate of the College of Physicians, whom I was consulting, begged me to resume my seat. •You are utterly smoke-dried,' he said. 'London or tobacco?' I inquired. 'Both,' he answered. 'No physic: fresh air is all you want—mountain ail: if possible perfect rest and quiet abstemious habits, early hours, and no tobaoco.' •But,' I feebly protested,' I don't care about the country how am I to fill up my time?' 'Nonsense you know nothing of it, from your own showing: and as to occupation, anything will do, so that you keep clear of your ledgers. Fish,sketch, idle,read poetry and light novels go and steep yourself in greenery, refresh your senses with rural sights and sounds, go and look at trees ana fields, listen to the birds and the muslo of running waters follow this out, and you will be a different man in six weeks.' 'And then?' I blankly inquired •Then? O, then,' he answered, 'get married and settle down.'

It certainly was fortunate I was not standing up at that moment, for it would hot have needed a touch of the aforesaid feather to have laid me low. As was I sank back in my ohair aghast. •Get married!' I thought I who was utterly insensible to female attractions,and who had been always taught to have an eye to main chance, and regard matrimoney as a clog, unless associated with a great heirenu I get married on a salary of £300 a year? Whew!

I leftSaviile row with scarce another word,convinced that for real,downright, impractical men there were noue to compare with doctors.

Thus I took the plunge, and within five days found myself at a snug little inn in North Wales, hard by a celebrated spot known as the Devil's Bridge,' a few miles Inland from Aborystwith.

I confess at onoe to having been a little astonished and pleased at the beauty of the scenery. The unexpected novelty, I felt, would keep me going for some time.

The change soon refreshed me. I was astonished at feeling neither dull nor lonely—for the tourist season bad bardlv set in, and I had the little inn well nigh to myself. So I wandered about and gased wonderingly on all I saw, especially at the deep, craggy, wooded •corse or mountain river-bed serosa which his Satanic Majesty* engineering skill waa supposed to have been dtaplftyod.

As I stood looking down upon it from the bridge near the inn, it certainly seemed to me a wonderously romantic spot. Steep rock-oound banks, crowned with trees, hemmed In the rushing,

in me an entirely new man. I did not know myself, and the fascination led me on irresistibly.

Now I would stop and tilt my head from side to side, listening to the varieties of sound I thus gained. Then after advancing a little to increase the strength of tone, I would retreat so that the delicate decline ol power should be made to add another cnann. In this fashion I literally spent some hoars before I actually reached the verge of the torrent,and experienced in its rail force the tremendous roar of the rushing waters. Why, here was occupation for weeks,I thought in merely listening to these beautiful noises and had not the Doctor told me that this was one of the ways in which I should employ myself? Had he not said, 'Listen to the music of running water?' Well, I never expected to find a holiday diversion in such pursuit: but here it was. and for a whole fortnight I gave myself ap to this dellcioas idleness. Then ss if farther to develope the unsuspected music, poetry, or whatever you may choose call it. of my nature, I found among the few ooflee-room books a copy of Southey's poems. Instinctively I read again ana again, 'How does the water come down at Lodore?' I took the volume down to the wood, to the water's edge, to the very foot of my waterfall, which seemed to me to be doing all that the poet described as possible nnder the circumstances.

The weather hitherto had been superb, midsummer sunshine, and not a drop of rain.

The sunshine glinting thiough the trees the pure sky above the song of birds, not yet all hushed, in the woods the fresh breezy odors—these all became such novelties and charms as I had never conceived possible. But seated on my isolated rock, it was still, after all, out of the 'music of 'the waters' that I got my chief mental enjoyment.

At last there was a sudden change of wind. Heavy cloud swept over the landscape, burying in mist or occasional showers all forms save those close at hand. 'Regular Welsh weather, sir!' said a fresh-colored elderly gentlemanlike man in a tourist's suit, whom I found the next morning in the coffee-room. 'My party will be house-bound for a couple of days at least, if I know anything of this country shocking place for weather. Been here long, sir?'

I told him how long, and that I had not had a drop of rain the whole time. 'Disadvantage in that, too,' he went on 'mountainous scenery wants mist ana rain to drift round the peaks, fill up the torrents and bring out the waterfalls. This one here will present a fine sight after another four-ana-twentyhours of such weather it was a mere dribble last night when we arrived.'

I was consoled by this gentleman's words for having to spend the best part of the day indoors there was anew sensation then yet in store for me and I was a little disappointed to find, when early the following afternoon, a lull in the weather enabled me to go down to my favorite rocky haunt,that there was very little perceptible difference in the volume of water coming over the fall.

So here 1 sat, I suppose, for more than an hour in my accustomed state of placid enjoyment. With my eyes half shut I was saying over to myself the first few lines of Southey's 'Lodore,' and trying to make 'the music of the waters' fit into them as accompaniment, when there suddenly sounded in my ears a roar so loud, and increasing so rapidly in volume, that I started, and lookiug up perceived that now indeed the fall bad become grandly argumented. I stood up quite excited, but not even then for one moment dreaming of danger. Townbred idiot that I was, quite unacquainted with the terrific force of the elements when once unloosed, I never imagined lor a second that I could be placed in peril by a fact so beautiful as this now before me. In the exaggeration which

gave to my estimate of these

natural wonders, I thought I was gazing at a harmless Niagara I nad never seen anything half so beautiful, whilst the almost deafening, thunderous roar which accompanied it was such anew phase of my favorite musio that I stood spellbound with a sort of wild delight. Not for so many minutes, however a heavy rain-cloud that had suddenly overswept the sky warned me to retreat. I turned with this purpose towards the stepping stones by which I always regained the precipitous bank of the river. To my horror they had all disappeared, and in their place a boiling, bubbling ferment of brown water and frothy foam was swoaping aloog at a tremendous pace. Then in an instant I knew that the river was risiug rapidly. Any one but a fool would have foreseen this as the natural consequence of the increase of the waterfall. Right and left and all around the river had now become a boiling oauldron of broken water I was cut off from all hope of retreat, and should be washed away like a fly I knew.

Helpless and scared, I stood irressolute yet a moment longer. I reoollect in this dire emergency suddenly observing a still further increase in the volume of the foil, and almost simultaneously with it feeling my legs slip from under me as the brown water gurgled in my ears and glistened in my eyee. Then there was a choking, helpless, tumbling pressure forward, several sharp blows upon my legs and arm, an effort to strike out, met by coming in contact with more rocks, and then a whirl and a twirl and a spinning round as it bad been a cork.

The swimmer's instinct, however, was of some use after all, for, in the first place, it enabled me to retain a little presence of mind, and, in the second, to bring my head up to the surfoce after the first plunge. I saw I was already along wav from the upper fail, and an additional pang was given to my sensations by there&lectiou that I was being hurried on toward the lower,over which, if I were carried I must Inevitably be drowned. Fortunately, just now I was carried by a current close in under one of those sheer-down sideband,fur the fiftieth time sent spinning round in the eddy like a cork.

I made a hopeless grab at the smooth and slippery suriace,much as the drowning man catches at the proverbial straw, for I was by this time getting exhausted and suffocated, by the constant roiling over which the torrent gave me. I did Just manage to get a finger hold in a crack and to steady myself somewhat but the water was very deep just here, and I could not lift much more than my chin above it, whilst a foothold of any sort was out of the question.

Yet to remain where 1 wss much longer was impossible. Could I batbaye raised myself some two feet I should have been abletoreaoh an overhanging bough of one of the thickly growing youns ash aapplings, the roots of which ^j^frtm^Wnhytopofarooka yam or two above.

Then a soft firm nsnd is held oat to me, and taking it I firmly, by one supreme effort, pull myaelf well up among the underwood and twisted roots at the top of the cliff.

deavoriog to raise my head as she wiped the streaming water from my forehead and hair. •Wait here,' she said,'and I will run to the inn for help I won't belong. There, lean against that tree trunk.' •Pray, stop,' I stammered feehly shall soon be all right. I am really very much obliged to you.' 'Oh, nevejr mind that, she answered brightly 'if you can walk so much the better. Get up, and come along at once you must get your wet clothes oft.

I rose and shook myself, feeling very bewildered, sick and scared. •Here—up this way,' she cried. 'I think we can get through the woods this way follow me.' 1 had scarcely started after her, aa with a firm, light step she sprang up the slope among the trees, when I heard from the top a crj of, 'killy-o! Lucy, hilly-el where are you?' •, 'Here I am,' she cried, 'all right. Come down, papa, and give this gentleman a hand. I have just helped him out of the water. He was nearly drowned.' •What? Eh, my dear? What are you talking about? Gentleman out ot the water—nearly drowned?' said a cheery voice and looking up, I saw two or three figures coming against the sky over the crest of the hill. Then there was a little hurried talk as they met my preserver, and presently my middleaged friend, who had spoken to me about the weather at the Inn the day before had a vice-like hold upon my arm, and was lending me very material assistance in my ascent. •What a fortunate thing! Only to think,' he said, 'of Lucy happening to see you! We were wandering about, and she bad gone on abead by herself to look at the fall then all of a sudden we missed her and wondered what had become of her and then, lo and behold! all the time she was qualifying for the Royal Humane Society's medal. You are not accustomed to mountain rivers, sir, I am afraid they are very treacherous, and are often suddenly swollen in this way when rain begins in the hills after along drought it's what they call a 'spate in the Highlands. But stay, you are exhausted take a nip of whiskey out of my flask here.'

We bad stopped that I might do this, when a second young lady, evidently a sister of my guardian angel, came running down towards us, exclaiming: 'O, papa, do come up quick Lucy has fainted/

She

was just beginning to tell

us all about it, when in a moment she went quite off. Whereupon, revived by the stimulant, I hastened up the remainder of the slope in company with my new friends, to find the brave girl quite insensible, her head resting on the lap of a lady, evidently her mother.

Then the cheery gentleman put the whisky flask to bis daughter's lips, and all solicitude, very properly, was turned from me to her but she soon revived, and then, but not till then, I allowed myself to be hurried off to the inn to get dry clothes. These, and a little hot stimulant, soon put me to rights, with no further damage from my ducking than a lew superficial bruises and scratches.

But what was this tremendous internal wound that I suddenly becamo suspicious of?—that had not been inflicted by projecting rocks, or slippery crags, or roaming water! No of a certainty that was the result of a sympathetic glance from a pair of bright brown eyes, which had gone straight to my heart from the moment they had looked down upon me in my peril.

Was Ion the eve, then, of another great discovery? Waa it not enough that I had found lately that there were other sights and wands worth listening to than are supplied by London streets, other elevating emotions than those referrable to arithmetic and book keeping by double entry, but that I must have thrust upon me also the foot that there was really something worth living for besides one's self ana making money? It seemed so! As 1 had been taken by surprise by the pleasure to be extracted from a quiet country life, so equally was I now suddenly awakened to the bility of what the doctor bad calif tling down.' There absolutely siir a chance of my taking to the Idea, and of so carrying out his prescription to the leWer. What a wonderfully beneficent effect it waa working! •Why, there ahe is in the garden at thla moment, and how beautiful ahe looks! Now that I have made myaelf presentable,' 1 thought, 'I will go down immedithank her like a coherent being and a gentleman.' 8be waa sitting in a little arbor at the end of the inn garden. Aa I approached, a blush, the mors evident from the paleness which her undue exertion and subsequent feintness left, overspread her sweet fees—that angel face, which I had at first thought waa a dream, and wbioh to me now, with newly awakened poetical sensibilities, scarcely seemed a reality.

'land my wife hope that you will give us the pleasure of your company at dinner tbia evening you must be a little dull and lonely here by yourself.'

Of course I would, and of course I did and of course, too, I spent the very pleasanteet evening I bad ever known in my life. I told the family who I was and all about myself and they told me a good deal about themselves—father, mother and two daughters—and how they bad come out for their annual run, as they called it, and how they often made veiy ploasant acquaintances on their little tours. •But it's not often," said my host, 'that we make one in tbia feahion it is not to be wished. We don't expect to become heroines of a domestic drama every day. Ha, ha! but, by Jove, it was very lucky Lucy saw you.'

And so on, and so on. After this evening followed a succession of the most delightful hours I had ever known morning, evening and noon were spent in the company of my new acquaintances, and at the end of a very short time those acquaintances had be.come fast friends. I was as completely over head and ears in love as I had been over head and ears in the turbulent water, and I told her so. •Save me once more,' I said 'give me that hand once again, and let it be mine forever otherwise it would have been kinder to have left me to drown out right

She dropped her head, but held out her hand, that hand which at this moment has just touohed my arm as a silvery voice says: 'Come, Billy, stop I have been peeping over your shoulder. You need not write any more people can guess the rest. 1 would rather you did not enter into details.' •Very well, dear,' I answered, 'as it is nearly twenty years ago since it all happened, perhaps you are right. Yes, set tied down for twenty years who would think it! And in a week or two we must be off, for the nineteenth time together, on another holiday diversion. What shall it be,and where shall we find

AN UNDRESSED SPIRIT.

The Airy Attire in Which a Medium was Embraced. Spiritualistic frauds are coming to grief everywhere. The latest female impostor is aMiss Wood of Newcastle, England, who has just been publicly shown up. The sitting took place under customary conditions, that is, the me dium was tied more or lees securely to a chair, which was placed in a recers with a curtain before it. A Mr. Atkinson was present with his wife and grown up daughter. 'Pocka,' which is the name given to the 'spirit' of a nude Indian girl who 'controls' Miss Wood, affirmed everything was favorable, and that good manifestations might be expected. Several present saw a form emerge from the recess, and immediately afterwards various sitters on the shadier ride of the room were touched with a tube or a fan. It was really so dark that Mr. Atkinson could not see the 'spirit,' though he could hear the taps being administered on the other side of the room. But he was not to be imposed upon any longer it was the last seance of the series, and his only chince of exposing the humbutr, so with a courage that does him great credit, and gaided by bis ears, he dashed across the room, and made a grasp at the form, which, however, slipped through his hands. It became then a race for the recess but the vigilant skeptio was more alert this time and seized the figure whilst it was still amongst the utters.

Whtt a straggle then ensued! It was as if life and death upon both sides depended upon it though there was no screaming and not a word was said. The strong man proved in the end too powerful for the desperate woman and when matches were lighted by Mrs. and Miss Atkinson the medium was found on the floor near the curtain of the recess, in an attire which was confined to chemise, stockings and another nether garment. Miss wood braved it out to the last, and speaking as 'Pocka,'after being assisted to berchsir. declared that ahe bad been controlled by evil spirits, who bad all but stripped her naked, and sent her out In the circle.

A SIMPLE CUBE FOB DB UNKKNNESS. A Brooklyn man writes to the San: 'I drank more intoxicating liquor from the year 1857 to the last day of 1873 than any other person 1 ever knew or heard of snd in the mean time, knowing this sura cure did not praotioe it on myself, hut, for fan, did prsAlee it on many othera, and effected permanent cures. The remedy of the cure is this: When a person finds be must have a drink, let him take a drink of water, say twe or three swallows, as often as the thirst or craving may desire. Let him continue thia practice. His old ehuma will laugh but let him perserers, and it will notbe week before the appetite for any kind of stimulant will dtssppear altogether, and water be taken to qnench the natural think. If at any Iftm tka vietim should feel a craving, let Uaatak* the flxst opportunity said obtain a swallow ol water, and he can nmm and repass all r?""" Wheaha goes homsstnight he will feei nttaflsd aad heeoher snd have mooey In his pocket. Icommsoned tWa pcaetioc on the Arat day of 1874, and never think oftakingadnakof samalanta,"

Tut plan ot those Indianapolis folks seems to bs to tear down the old State House, eo as to kill 06 opposition to the •notion of anew one.
