II Is Profitable sometimes to be senti-

Is sp'it time, however gloomy the
weather hay be, and recount simple
love st5r..
Last summer German boy aud girl,
Henry Sui Susie, living In Minnesota,
iell In love with one another Her
family, at frst indifferent, early In the
winter put themselves In opposition to
the match
But this Romeo was no drawlng-room
lover. Desperately In earnest himself,
and confident of the fidelity of his Juliet,
be hrayely went to work to make home
for her. He already owned a quarter
section OF land. Taking his az he went
10 bic "eslate," and there cut down
trees aud hewed out logs enough to
make y cabin, which he put up without
help and furnished 10 rude but comfort
able fashion. This done, he asked Susie
10 come and be his wife. She consented.
Unfortunately, the young man had not
yet set up his carriage and, since Il was
unbecoming for bride 70 90 on foot, 4
hand-sled drawn by the bridegroom, was
pressed into the service OF the pair.
Thus they went forth In secfesy to thelF
new home In the woodland, she riding
TRULY on the sled, he Juggling bravely at
the strap. Il was eight miles 70 the littls
cabin, but love made the journey short.
There the wedding waa TO take place, a
clergyman haylng promised to be In
waiting 10 make tbem man and wife.
Unfortunately the clergyman was not
there, and suale was frightened and
ashamed. she wanted to 20 home. But
Henry, grleyed at her distrust, and vet
secretly pleased with her modasty, pro.
posed that until a clergyman could be
found the cabin should be divided by a
partition wall iulo two cabius, of which
one should b. long o her and one to him,
To this she gleed, and the young mar
went eleven miles through the snow after
the boards for the wall, dragging them

STEAMER MANHATTAN.
We have been furnished with the fol
lowing Interesting report Of the t'ial trip
of steamer somewhat novel Ia her
arrangements aud construction -
The official trial OF the Manhattan took
place on the Delaware, on the S0th ult.
This vessel was constructed complete
by Mr.. Charles A. Weidner, Chester Iron
Works, under the general superintendeuce
of Captain J. II. Merryman, superin-
tendent of Construction Of the U. s
Revenue Marine. The machinery was de-
signed by Charles Z. Emery, Esq, Con-
sulting Engineer, New York. The work
was done under the immediate charge of
Superintendent W. s. Simmons and Chief
Engineer j. Madison Case, U. 8. r. NJ.
The vessel was designed for service In
New York harbor, and has been built
with view to speed and economy. She
has comfortable quarters above deck for
THO officers, large forward cabin below
deck for the custom inspectors and a
berth deck aft for the crew.
Facility for mauepvering the vessel Is
secured BY the Cathcalt propeller attach
ment, In which the propeller is supported
by bearings in frame swing on a verti-
cal shaft, which receives thr same motion
as the rudder the propeller and main
shafts being connected through uniyeI-
sal joint. By this means the detection
of the propeller from the line Of the keel
applies the power of the engines to turn
the vessel.
On preliminary trial the advantages
Of the propeller were fully shown, IA il
was found that the vessel could be steered
readily both backward and forward With
little exertiop, and could be turned readily
and rapidly In her length.
The vessel left Chester at / a. M, and
steamed down the river at speed Of
from nine TO ten knots. AT p. NJ, she
rounded to and stariediou her return trip,
averaging 10 knots through the wax,
against the tide. the engines developing
200 horse power. The machinery wal
designed 10 furnish economically 1S(
horse power, but was during the day

late. A few years ago $1,000 was con-
sidered worry large stipend for an organ

10 the general rise Of musical values.
Christ Church Is investing heavily In
music. The choir Of that church costs
$4,000 per year, of which Rufus Hatch,
