A gentleman from the Neck SAYS
Some years ago the Rev. Isaac Collins
was preaching at Speddon's Church.
Neck district, and was very much an
noyed at his congregation turning in
their seats to look at every new arrival
At last he could stand it no longer, and
exclaimed: "There is one special re-
quest I desire of this congregation, and
that is that they will all turn their seats
around so as to face the door before ]
preach here again. His request was
attended to, and next Sunday when the
Rev. Mr.. Collins walked up to the pull
pit he looked around at the backs of his
audience, and was SO overcome with
emotion that he just took his seat AND
spoke not one word that beautiful Sab
bath evening.

Rest

Beneath the western heavens span
Has sunk the golden day; -
The clouds rich sunset hues and tints
Have died in shade away;
The dim night comes from out the east
With gloom and vapor gray.
The stars far in The sky's blue depths
Their vigils 'g,tan to keep;
The moon above yon eastern hill
Climbs up the lofty steep;
The night wind steal with gentle wing
Above the flowers asleep.
The birds upon the tuneless spray
Have folded close their wings;
And to the silent night alone
The winding river sings;
Its song is of the woods and meads--
hundred happy things.
No voice is in the tranquil air,
No murmur save it's own;
The earth is hashed as Heaven above,
Where, girt with cloudy zone,
The moon goes up among the stars
To take her ebon throne.
Sweet, calm. and undisturbed repose,
Ger all the landscape rest:
Yet is there in the breathless scene
A voice which thrills the breast,
A something, which in thanks and love
May only be expressed.

Englishmen as Speakers of the Eng.
liSh Language.

Colonel j. w. Forney comes to the
rescue of Americans who are ridiculed
by Englishmen for their Nasal twang
He writes Ia one of his London letters
..sLet me admit at the start that there
is nothing more delightful than the con-
versation of an educated English
man or Englishwoman; but the mo-
ment you pass from this circle you are
assaiied at every quarter by mingling
of dialects, and in many cases
most incomprehensible jargon. I often
find it difficult to understand an Eng
lish clergyman, and it is the same COM
mon remark of Americans who visit the
theatres that they lose large portion
OF the play in consequence of the rapid
and indistinct enunciation of actors in
subordinate parts. The same observa-
ton may be made with justice of most
of the speakers In the House of Com
mons. Take out MIR. Disraei, Mr..
Gladstone, Mr.. Bright, and few more,
and it is next to impossible to compre-
bend what nearly all the others say

day, though neither knew of the others
standing. Wheeler engaged Method
list local minister, Mr.. Callen, to tie the
knot, and Kretzer procured the services
of Rev. Nj Edmonds. Wheeler
and Cullen arrived first, and the
knot was tied, and Miss Alice
became Mrs. Wheeler. The ceremony
was hardly over when Kretzer and Ed
monds. Imagine their astonishment
when they learned that Alice was al
ready married to Wheeler. An explain
alton was demanded by Kretzer
Wheeler couldn't see the necessity of
his bride making explanations to any
former lover, and put his foot down
very peremptorily. Wheeler immedi-
ately flew off the handle-high words
ensued, pistols were brandished, and
there was apparently some danger of a
dead bridegroom grazing the occasion
in which event we have no doubt the
accepted the surviving lover. But no
blood was spilled, the parties separating
without any specific understanding up
on social affairs.
The Holt County Sentinel courage
ously puts itself On record in denuncia-
ton OF what it seems to regard as the
principal outrage in the affair: eve
think it wrong, and it works great in
Justice to the regular circuit minister by
allowing the local preachers to step in
and carry off the perquisites of the reg
ular ministers, and they need every dol
lar they get; and the performance OF the
marriage ceremony should and wonld
bring many dollar to Them"

+" Ninety and Nine.''

Rev. DR.. Cuyler says that the history
of the song which Mr.. Sankey sings SO
often, g The Ninety and Nine is Gu
rious. It originally appeared in the
corner of an American newspaper, from
the pen of Miss E. G. Clephane. When
Mr.. Sankey was among the Scottish
Highlands he tried to find some hymn
peculiarly suited to the pastoral tastes
of his auditors who were mainly shep-
.herdss He discovered these lines IN
the Rock. an English Evangelical paper.
He then adaptedsto themawild plain
tive air, and they soon sung themselves
into the hearts not only of the rustic
Highlander, but of lords and ladies in
fastidious London .~r - ~

Cabinet or Parlor Organs.

These have become the most popular
OF large musical instruments. There
are now about two hundred and fifty
makers of them in the United States,
who produce more than forty thousand
organs per annum. Most of these are very
poor instruments. This is NATURALLY so,
because there are few articles in the
manufacture of which so much saving
can be made by the use of inferior, i'm
properly prepared material, and inferior
workmanship, and yet which, when fin
ished, show so little difference to the
average purchaser. The important parts
OF an organ, made as we'll as they can
be, cost two OF three times as much as
it made as low as possible. Yet, when
the organ is done, it is not easy from
casual hearing to tell the difference be-
tween the best and very poor one. Els
pecially when shown by one who knows
how to cover up defects, to one who has
not special skill in such matters, it is not
difficult to make poor organ appear q
good one.
The tempta ton to makers, then, to
produce, at a traction Of the cost, an or
gan which will sell almost as we'll as a
good ore is almost irresistible. Hence
She fact that SO few good organs are
made and SO many poor ones, and that
the country is flooded with peddlers
and dealers selling these poor organs,
which pay such large profits. The buy
er OF the poor organ does not fail to find
out his mistake after while. The thin
reedy tone of his cheap organ soon be-
comes offensive, It works noisily and
roughly, IS constantly cat of order. and
becomes useless by the time a really
good instrument would have been get
ting into tits prime. A good organ
ought to last a generation, at least; a
poor one may last five years, with con-
siderable tinkering, or may break down
much sooner.
There is one safe way. Get a genuine
production of one of the very bestmakers
and you cannot go astray. Among these
undoubtedly stands pre.eminent the
Mason & Hamlin Organ Co., whose
organs are SO well known that other
makers are generally content to claim
that they can make as good an organ as
the Mason & Hamlin. They invented
and introduced the Cabinet or Parlor
Organ in it's improved form, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy of making only the best work,
have shown such skill as has given their
organs the highest reputation, not only
in this country but also in Europe. At
the Great Exposition at Vienna, in COM
petition with eighty of the best makers
IN the world, they obtained the highest
medals. To enumerate the competitions
at which they. have received similar
honors would be to give list of the
fairs. at which they have exhibited: and
to mention theprominen5 musicians who
recommend their organs as unequaled
would really be to give very good list
of the most ilustrious musical names in
this country, with good representation
in Europe.
One who obtains Mason & Hamlin
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt that
he has the best instrument of its class
which can be made.-NeaU York I1ade-

FTOIn tne Sun AntOn1a Herald.
She stood In the center of potato
patch and was vexing the ground with a
hoe. About twenty summers had
passed over her head, which seemed
never to have been combed. She
couldn't have borrowed a Gu sry- comb to
subdue that head of hair, without first
depositing coliaterals to have it re-
paired, after she got through with it.
Her face resembled a pretty mask made
OF Maud, and her eyes sparkled through
a. couple of cracks like diamonds. A
peculiar and winning grace attended her
every movement, and had fortune been
kind to her she would doubtless have
shone as bright particular star among
the most attractive of her sex.

The Double Ship a Success.
London Saturday Rey1e


The Castalia-the double ship which
was invented to secure the passengers
between Calais and Dover from sea-
sickness, or at least to reduce the dam
ger to a minimum-seems, if we may
trust "a Resident at Calais" who
writes to yesterdays Times, to be a
real success. He says that he waited
for good stiff wind In order to test
her; that, though she now and then
rolled, she never pitched at all; that no
one on board thought of being sick on the
passage, ard yet that when the mail
boat passed her in the snme sea, the
latter's deck was covered with sick pas
sengers. The writer returned to Calais
by the mail-boat and was very sea-sick,
though, as the wind had risen since his
voyage across, it is possible that evenin
the Castalia on tina. day he might have
suffered. While the Bessemer appears
to be as yet a failure, the humber ex-
pertinent of the Castalia seems to have
earned a substantial auccess.
