THE MASTERS CALL.

They tell me solemn story, but it is not sad
to me,
For in its sweet unfolding my Savior's love l
see;
They say that in any moment the Lord of Life
may come
To lift me from this cloudland into the light
of homo.
They say may have no warning | may not
even hear
The rustling of His garments as He softly draw
eth near
Suddenly, in moment, upon my ear may
fall
Tho summons to leave our homestead, to an
swer the Masters call.
Perhaps He'll come in the noon-tido of some
bright and sunny day,
When with dear ones all around me, my life
seems bright and gay ;
Pleasant may be the pathway, easy tho shining
road,
Up from this DINNER sunlight into the light
of God
Perhaps He'll come in the stiffness of the mild
and quiet night,
When the earth is calmly sleeping meath the
moon-beams silvery light;
When the stars are softly shining DER slum-
bering land and sea
Perhaps in the holy stiffness the Master will
como for me.
l think would rather hear it, that voice so
low and sweet,
Calling me out from the shadows, my blessed
Lord to meet;
Up through the glowing splendors of starry
earthly night,
To see the King in his beauty" in land of
purer light.

A SWIMMING ROMANCE.

Recently, says the New York Dispatch,
two young ladies from Philadelphia, vis-
iting at n Newark uptown residence,
created quite sensation by a jealous
quarrel, during which they revealed n
pretty secret that for whole week they
had closely kept. The names of the
girls are Henrietta Wilson and Susie
johnson. Mother, may | go out to
swim," has been the prayer of these fair
damsels in their early days, and whether
Mother" consented or not, the incident
to be related proves that more than once
they had chung their clothes on hickory
limb" and learned to buffet the waters
bravey. AS they stroled up and down
Fourth Avenue and caught now and then
glimpse of the lovely Passaic, an intense
longing came to them to lave their 1.-the
limbs in the pellucid waters. One bright
morning about week ago, with their
tights" eflectually concealed by charm
ing redingote and trailing skirt, the girls
HE'D them away to the river shore, and
hung their clothes upon the identical
shollbark sung about in the classic story.
For time they enjoyed undisturbcd
the delicious bath, but at length appeared
suddenly upon the scene young gentle
man rowing in she'll. The gallant
Triton" became confused at the sight
OF the lovely nymphs, and losing his bal
ance fell into sixteen feet of water. As
he could not SWIM, there would have
been coroner's inquest had not the girls,
who were striking out for some bushes,
returned to the rescue on beholdlng his
peril AS the exhausted form of the
young man was sinking, each young lady
seized an arm aud towed him to the shore.
Susie returned to catch the shell. while
Henrietta, hastily donning her con-
venient redingote, gave the "Trton"
some excellent brandy from the flask in
her belt, and then completed the work Of
restoration by rubbing his temples with
her fair white hands. The girls then put
him in his little boat and sent him home
to his mamma, making him promise he
would visit them soon. 1t was the APP
pearancc of his advancing form up the
avenue that caused the jealous fires that
had slumbered in the breasts of those
heroic madens to burst forth into white
heat, for each one claimed him for her
own, and for very spite, betrayed the
pretty secret What that young man will
do is a matter Of considerable speculation.
Heis not clear in his own mind whether
he shall hang himself or marry them both
and remove TO Utah.

SLURs ON WoMEN.-Of all evils pre-
valent among young men we know Of
none more biighting in its moral effects
than to speak slightly of the virtue Of
women. Nor is there anything in which
young men are so thoroughly mistaken
as the low estimate they form of the in
tegrity of women-not of their own moth
ers and sisters, but Of others, who, they
forget, are somebody else's mothers and
sisters. AS rule, one who surrcnders to
this debasing habit is not to be trusted
with any enterprise requiring integrity of
character. Plain words should be spoken
on this point, for the evil is general one
and deep-rooted. If young men are
sometimes thrown into the society of lewd
or thoughtess women they have no moral
right to measure all other women by what
they see of these, than they would have
respectable citizens by the developments
Of crime in the police courts. Let our
young men remember that their chief
happiness in life depends upon their utter
faith in women. No worldly wisdom, no
misanthropic philosophy, no generation,
can cover or weaken this fundamental
truth. 1t stands like the record of God
itself-for it is nothing less than this
and should put an everlasting seal on the
lips that are wont to speak lightly of
women.

A MODERN SAINT SIMON STYLITEs.
The Athens Northeast Georgian notes
the prevalence Of u report in that city
that, on a recent Sunday, man living
near Scull's Shoals, about twenty miles
below Athens, went fishing, seating him
self on rock. Not returning home at
night, search was made for him and he
was found seated upon the rock, and upon
the party requesting him to get up and
accompany them home, he told them
that the Almighty had sent Judgment
upon him and he had become part OF
the rock and could not move. His friends
thinking he was only jesting, took hold
Of him and attempted to meve him, when
he commenced screaming at the top of
his voice and asked them, for Gods sake,
not to attempt to lift him up as it would
murder him. He further informed them
that he had been informed, by an unseen
presence, that, as judgment for bis pro-
family and Sabbath breaking, he would
never be severed from his present seat,
but would remain fastened to it all his
days, and that he would be made to
preach his own funeral sermon. 1t Is
said he talks quito freely and is visited
by immenze crowds.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ~, 1877;
CLOSE VOTING.

The Importance Of one vote was never
more forcibly illustrated in this State than
at the recent general election. Simpson,
Independent, was elected to the Assembly
from the district composed Of Tehama
and Colusa counties, by two majority
over Brown, Democrat. Hammit, Inde-
pendent, was elected to the Assembly
from Contra Costa county, over Galloway
Republican, by two majority. Northup,
Democrat, was elected to the Assembly
from Nevada county by two majority,
over Atwater, Republican. The loss Of
a single vote to either one Of the success
ful candidates would have made the re-
suit tie, and have cntaied upon the
people the expense Of q special election.
The contest for United States Sena-
tor may be very close in the Legisa-
ture and may be decided by the votes Of
the very men above named, who were
elected by two majority each. But few
instances Of such small majoritcs as those
just cited are now recalled, but all over
the State the election was remarkable for
the neck -and-neck races between candi-
dates. O'Connor, Democrat, defeated
Williams, Republican, for State Senator
from Nevada county by 81 votes out of a
a total of $500. In Humboldt, b. G..
Hurlburt, Independent, came in only "a
votes ahead of W. f. Heustis, Republi-
can. Thomas Frazer, Republican, is
Senator from FL Dorado by virtue of s
majority. A score Of other members
elect of the Legislature had tifing ma
jorities. In Tulare, which has been fa-
nous for its heavy Democratic prepond-
erancc the Democrat IS elected on the 3rd
inst, their candidate for Sheriff by only
27 majority, and District Attorney by 81
majority, while while the Republican
Clerk slipped in 10 votes ahead. E.
Ii. Harrison was chosen Coroner Of Santa
Clara county by II majority in several
thousand votes. In Sacramento county
all the Taxpayers candidates were sue
for Public Administrator, who was beat
by Ii. S. Beals, Republicans, by only
II votes in n total Of over five thousand.
Anderson is seeking a recount if he gets
it he may reduce Beals' minority to l.
In Sonoma the Democrats piled up, as
usual, large majorities. Brown, Demo
&, L 70 (, En- Ior f..
PAUL., Taxpayer, who hourished over
him a majority Of Is in nearly $500 votes.
In this city Hubert, Democrat, leads Bau-
or, Taxpayer, for County Treasurer, on
ly twenty three votes in totol of 10000
Some rare instances of closely contested
elections have occurred in the Eastern
States. We can recall that about twen-
ty-fve years ago, John B. Weller, since
Governor of California, ran as the DEM
ocratc candidate for Governor of Ohio.
In total vote Of nearly 800, 600 he was
defeated by Seabury Ford, the Wing
nominee, by 3l5 majority. He was in
reality elected, as over 400 votes cast for
John Weller instead of John b. Weller,
were counted as scattering. In the year
1889, the renowned Edward Everett, af-
ter fulfilling the duties Of Governor Of
Massachusetts for several terms with rare
fidelity and ability, was finally defeated
by Marcus Morton, who had a majority
of one cote out Of over 1000 CASTS.

WE KNOW THAT BoY.-It is said there
is a boy in Concord, N. H., who can re-
peat the multiplication table backwards,
and he is only nine years old. We know
that boy. We were never in Concord,
but we know him. We lived next door
to that boy when we were a boy, it is not
so long ago but that we remember him
quite distinctly. He always went to bed
at O'Clock, and had slight cough. He
brushed his hair back of his ears and car
ried store handkerchief, and when he
played marbles it was to win. He always
got home from school before we did, and
employed the time detailing to his mother
the betting that boy next door was getting.
And indeed we were getting it, but there
was no special interest in it for other folks.
lie was the model boy the boy our par
ents used TO point to and speak of in tones
of mingled admiration and regret, while
uniting US for sitting on anything harder
than poltice. He never ran away from
school, nor stole money, but he used to
throw mud on old people when they were
not looking, and unselfshly throw the
blame on us. And then to see that boy
come around into our back yard with jam
on his bread, that was the last feather
that was the climax to all the sorrow our
young heart knew. We could have will
ingly have forgiven everything else, but
that jam upset US. 1t cut down into our
heart of hearts, and it rankles there yet.
1t sent us into the house bawlng for jam,
and getting it, but not on our own bread.
We remember that with ghastly distinct
ness.-Lr.
