A Story ofslse Sea.

the headlands OF the coast upon the out
skirts of the village. She was not ex-
aOtly insane, but sLe had curious ways,

verge Of the stormy ocean. II was .

its walls crept geru vines and ivies, and

and in talking TO herself But she had
one strange habit tha: no one could ey-

just as the village clock struck three. she
might be seen standing. with streaming
locks, on the edge of the head, looking
straight cut at sea aud making faces al

several minutes and then she would re-
turn to her home. People said, but

An INcIDENr.-Not many years ago,
certain miners working far under
ground, came upon the body of poor
fellow who had persisted in the suffocat-
ing pit some forty years before. Some
chemical agent to which the body had
become subjected--an agent prepared
in the labratory of natnre-had efec-
tually arrested the progress of decay.
They brought it up to the surface, and
for awhile, till thoroughly exposed to
the atmosphere, il lay the image of q
fine, sturdy young man. No couvul-
sions had passed over the face in death
the features were tranquil; the hair was
black as Jet No one recognized the
face-a generation had grown up since
the miner went down into the shaft for
the last time. But a tottering cid wo-
man who had hurried from her cottage
at hearing the news, came up, and she
knew again the face which through all
these long years she had not forgotten.
The miner was to have been her hus-
band on the day after that on which he
died. There were no dry eyes when
the old gray headed pilgrim cast herself
upon the youthful corpse and poured
into its deaf ear many words Of endear-
ment unused for forty years. 1t was a
touching contrast; the one 30 old, the
other so young. They had both been
young these long years ago, but time
had gone on with the living, and stood
still with the dead,-London, Herald. &.

"THE CHoTR IS BUSTED. AT Deck

bition of the contrariness Of church

rant of the fact that the choir bad quar-
relied among them selves the night be-
fore, aud that DOT member was there
on Sunday morning. -....
He gave oat his hymn selected for
the opening, and read it through.
There was no musical response--no
sound of praise-from choir or congre-
gatiou. After moment Of embarrass-
ing silence, brother arose aud walk
ing up to the pulpit whispered in the
preachers ear. The preacher nodded
his head and SMILED. He thought the
brother had said the wrong hymn had
been read, so he turned the leaves again
and gave out another. 1t was a long
one, and he read it through, closing
with Please omit one staDz.' -
A dead silence in the congregation

was about to give out another hymn,
when another brother arose and spoke
from the gallery. '''5 t t..ia.

of 'em thought the bass sung too low,

THE SAME OLD SPEECH.

The Evening News echoes the sentiments
of large number of Republicans in the
following extract from its editorial on the
Song of the Shirt: But the speech was not
weak or useless so much for what il says.
though it is the same old thing IN slight
variation. 1t is not the speech for the oc-
casion for its glsriDg omissions. 1t Is un-
questionable that very many people
quite enough to decide the resula-do not
nave much taith in the Democratic party.
They would rather not see 1t come into
power again. They feel exactly as they
did In 1872, when they voted against Gree.
ley simply from d:strust. Tney did not.
like Grant, but they felt impellea to accept
him, being impressed by their fears. Now
they are asked to continue in the republi-
can party, and they are not disposed read>
lily to DO so unless some good reason Is
shown why they should. They want a
change from GrsDtism, and they must
have assurance that IL the party Is contin-
ued n power the evils OF Grants admins
tration will be entirely ersdicsted, or an
honest effort made that wsy. Senator
Morton seeing the rear does not seem to
see this. BE does not see that all other
efforts for Hayes and Wheeler are Idle and
useless until Inis assurance of q change ia
given. He gave no such assurance. The
party is presented as good enough In the
past-good eaough in the future. Ii this
speech should be accepted as key note
model tor 'sthe little fellows" TO tollov-
the result Is no longer q matter OF doubt.
We will have Williams for governor.
