You ask me for story about St. VAL
entine's Day. / can remember but one,
and that seems TO me almost too solemn
and loo tender to be set to the light mu.
sic of ordinary words.
Clyde Hepburn was already nearly
thirty when he became, the orgsnist Of
Trinity Church. was little girl at
that time, and il is many years since |

my eyes, can see his tall figure, his
high, white brow, and his sighlless yet
wide open eyes. as distinctly as. opening
them, 1 can see my neighbor's son.
coasting along the sidewalk opposite with
his little sled. He would have been
handsome but for the deep mournfulness
of those blind. wistful eyes. His fes-
lures were very beautiful. but they had
that peculiar and touching humility
which seemed to say how very helpless
he was against the storms of this evil
and troublesome world. He was Scotch
man by birth, but his parents had
brought him to this country when he
was mere child. His father had died
soon after, and number of kind-hearted
gentlemen, becoming interested in the
poor, blind boy, and learning that he
possessed a talent for music. SO wonder
full as to seem almost like inspiration,
had so far cultivated it. that when
first knew him, he was considered the
best orgarist in the city, and was able
to support himself and his now aged
mother according to the utmost of their
simple wishes.
The church was always open for morn
ing and evening prayers, and the or
ganist was ever at his post. Passionate
ly fond of music, it was one Of my chief
delights to steal into some dark corner Of
the church, and weep. silently and un-
seen, as listened to his playing. How
shall ! describe his anthems of Joy at
Christmas, or the penitential wall that
broke on the solemn stiffness of Lent
Clyde Hepburn lOved his art, and it was
to him in place Of shining stars, and
waving grain, and all the beautiful
world Of nature forever sealed from his
wistful eyes. AT. thirty, think, he
has scarcely even regretted that ne was
blind.

of the ruling hand Of God, and firm
reliance on the Divine favor and protec-
lion can defend us from cur fears, and
bring to our troubled spirits peace and
rest. But men are often found in cir
cumstanees which render it difficult for
them to perceive how dependent and

rare talents, and large stores OF worldly

their Maker for consolation and support.
