THE CHAPEL CHORIsTERs.
From Sharpe's Magazine.
BY ALICE r. NEAL,


''Gloria in excelsis" rang through the
little chapel in clear volume of sound Il al
rose above the accompaniment of the organ.
and was just shaded and softened by the
flute-like tenor that accompanied that single
female voice
Many of the sun Drowned seamen who
worshiped there knew the voice and the
singer. and l;sts--,.eo the more earnestly, be-
cause Of her, to the chants and psalms. and
the sermon that followed. It was Eng
lish Bessie" who came among their wives
and children on many kindly errrand, and
had always cheerful word for the sick and
desponding. The men called her ssa hcasfy
lass and wished many blessing oEr her
honest face" Their r;:yes, in Sunday
dress, and proud of the stalwert arms in
which they leaned, Thought it shame" that
she had not chosen from among the rough
and hardy wooers by which she was sur
rounded.
Prayer and chant were over, and the still
sermon time came, when Bessie's duties
were ended; and she drew the crimson cur
tain aside, to look and listen with the rest.
The warm summer sun came quivering from
the sea through the lance-shaped windows,
and lighted up the pale, grave face of the
clergyman in his pulpit and the strangely
gathered audience.
Some were boatmen, or hands from coast
ing-vessels, whose occupation allowed them
leisure for home and its comforts. They
were surrounded by their wives and little
ones in all the smartncss of their Sunday
costume, relieved by scarfs or shawls OF
bright foreign weaving. the gift of some sue
cessful relative on a return-voyage The
children sat uneasily on the high benches,
and looked at the flies on the window, or
studied the pictures in their prayer-hool,s,
as children will. These were the more
regular attendants of the chapel. B y}ntl
them, the trim blue jacket of a man-of war S
man was the coDtented neighbor of some
''lubberly whaler," in ordinary intercourse
a special aversion. And there were men
whose dress had no pretensicn to Sunday
ncatncss who scarcely knew one day o. the
