THE GREAT BANK ROBBERY.

[Springheld Mass Dispatch to N. y. Herald.I
Northampton was put in a feverish
condition again this afternoon, not by
another bank burglar, but by the arrival
in town, in charge of officers, of noto-
rious burglar named Stevens, who has
been arrested on suspicion of being con-
cerned in the bank burglary last week.
A large crowd had gathered at the de-
pot on the strength of a rumor that he
was coming, bat were disappointed, the
officers taking him off the smoking car
and quietly walking him uptown, while
the Northampton officer, just for ruse,
kept his team at the other end of the
depot, where the crowd waited in vain
Whether he is oi.e Of the gang, and
what evidence la. been obtained against
him, are all matters of guess-work vet,
as the officers are very reticent on the
subject 1t is recalled with considerable
interest by persons in this city to day
that the peripatetic advent preacher,
Elder Luiz, who has been holding forth
in this city, and over the river in West
Springfield, this winter, told his people
two or three weeks ago that there was
going to be a robbery hereabouts. He
was not sure it would be in this city,
but Springfield or some town in the Vi
city was doomed The ground on which
he based his prediction was that lie had
seen in town several professional gentle
men with whom he was acquainted in
those remote days, when, tradition says,
he was ''one of the b'hoys" himself, and
whom he knew 70 be accomplished
cracksman who would not be hanging
about without a job and big one, on
hand. 1t il not impossible that the
elder will be the humble instrument in
bringing some of the gang to justice,
thereby gaining honor and ducats and
earning the gratitude of the community.
Among the persons who supposed they
had lost their all and are now happily
disappointed to find they did not,
through the negligence of the burglars,
is Mr.. w. Z. Thayer, a merchant and
cutlery manufacturer. of Williamsburg,
Just above Northampton. On going to
the bank to-day to confer with the Off
cials with reference TO the best mode of
recovering his securities, he discovered
that his box was not in the new safe
that the burglars ritied, but all secure in
the old safe. The box contained also
the bonds owned by bis three oldest
children, an inheritance from their
mother. Thayer's first wife. 1t is said
that the whole amount thus missed by
the cracksmen was about $50, ZOO. 1t is
estimated that the pile of bonds lost by
Richmond Kingman, of Cummingtou
amounted to $3.50. 600.

A SOLDIER OF THE FIRST NAPOLEON.

One of the Northampton's ''charac-
ters" is John Franzen, of Florence,
soldier under Napoleon. Born in Mon
treal, in the county or district of Cob
lentz, on the Rhine, March %, 1870,
John, or JEAN" as he calls himself,
attained manhood in season to be in the
wars of the first Napoleon. In 1910 he
enlisted in the Twenty first Regiment of
Lancers, and was at once put in active
service. He was, by being Lancer"
always among the foremost of the army;
and after the taking of Moscow he says
that his regiment had gone far on be-
yond it, and when they were ordered
back by tidings of the burning of that
city; and graphically enough, in his bro
ken French, German and English, will
he describe the fearful scenes of that
contiagration. Once. when he was on
picket duty one bitter cold night, and
had gone little off his beat to gain the
shelter of a tree, horseman came
riding up whom he at first thought was a
Cossack and threatened to shoot, but who
gave him the countersign. The strange
horseman questioned him about being
off his beat, warned him of the daNQek
that might come of it, and finally made
himself known as the Emperor himself.
Franzen was told that if any officer had
thus found him off his post, he would
have been shot. twas the same night,
and on the same line, that occurred the
incident, now historic, of Napoleon find
ing one poor picket overcome with cold
and quite asleep; of his taking his mus
ket and mounting guard on the sleeping
soldiers beat; and telling him, when he
walked and wished his musket that he
could have it when he woke up. Fran
zen venerates the .ssLittie Corporal"
He was at the terrible battle of Leipsic,
and most vividly recalls its horrors-the
immense number of the slain, the burn
ing of the villages and the co.pses with
them, the piling up by the soldiers of
the bodies of their dead comrades
as a wall between them, and the sicken-
ing stencil of the confagration. Out of
the 264 men in Frenzen's company that
set out for Russia, only eight returned
alive. When the great Powers re-
adjusted the boundary lines after Ma
poleon was conquered, his district was
set off to Prussia, and for two years he
served in the Prussian army at Berlin.
Finally his regiment was ordered out 20
Bavaria, and, finding himself In the re-
gion of his old home, Franzen improved
the opportunity and took French
leave" of the army literally. He was
born of a race of blacksmiths, end has
always followed that calling. In 1S41
he came to this country with his family,
spent two years at Albany, then came to
Leeds-called ''Musgrave's Hollow at
that time-and has lived in Leeds, Chic
opee and Florence ever since. He IA
now living with Peter Dietrich, the hus-
band of the eldest of his twelve children,
ten of whom are still living. He isof
medium size, strongly built, and as vig-
orous and muscular as many a score of
years younger, and bids fair to reach his
Centennial year. Nothing pleases him
better than. to fight his battles over
again, and tell how fields were won.

THE NEW BIRTH.-If the new birth
made one perfectly holy at the start,
then we could tell in every case the mo-
ment that the change took place; but as
it only begins the work, We can scarcely
ever tell. Very few christians eau re-
member the moment in which they be-
came christians, and they are no poorer
christians on that account. You cannot
tell the instant in which day breaks"
It. is no proof, then, that you are not
christian because you did not seem to
have a sudden change. If you are
changed, that is enough. We all know
when Paul was converted; but who can
tell when John and Peter and James
and Matthew were regenerated? Can
you tell when the grain of wheat that
you plant in the earth gerIninates? Can
you see the hour hand of a clock move!
Yet the one does sprout, and the other
moves over the whole face in twelve
hours! And so faith may spring up in
your heart and your heart be regenera-
ted, and you be made to say when.

CHURCH CHoIRs. religious earn
estness of Mr.. Moody has been much
commented on, and not at all exagger-
ated. The same intense religious earn
esIness claracterizes all that is done as
we'll as all that is said. 1t is illustrated
by the selection of the chorus choir of
250 voices All choirs of Brooklyn were
invited to send delegates. But one con-
dition was attached: Mr.. Sankey would
take no singer that was not Christian.
He would have no voice singing the in
vitation to Christ that was not consecra-
ted TO Christ. And when the delegates
came together he selected from them the
most earnest Christians, not the best
singers. Christ in the heart, not all in
tie lips, was the first requisite. Many
of the excluded singers are indignant.
But there are two results: Mr.. Sankey's
choir conducts not a concert but min
istry of christian song; and all Brooklyn
choirs are made to believe that there is
one man at least who counts love for
Christ as of more Importance than
musical skill, in the service of praise,
with no laughing, toying, flirting. 1t is
refreshing to see as much Christian earn
estness in the choir as in the pulpit
Adodnce.

BREAD CAST UPON THE WATERS.


The lamp was burning low in a poor
widows cottage far away over the sea.
The shades of the evening had gathered
in, and on little table by her side lay
her well read Bible. The evening of life,
too, had come; and it had found her
poor and sorrow-stricken. She had
known better days-days of earthly good,
when this worlds portions had flowed in
upon her. Her husband had died, leav-
ing her a competence. But two profit
gate sons had wasted her substance with
riotous living. When she saw that her
property was being squandered, she de-
terlnined to make one offering to the
Lord. She took twenty pounds and
gave them to the Foreign Missionary
Society. Her sons were very angry at
this, and told her that size might Just as
well cast her money into the sea. 81
will cast it into the sea-" she replied,
'tand it shall be my bread upon the wa
ters."
The sons, having spent all, enlisted in
regiment and were sent to India. Their
positions were far apart; but God SO or
dered in his providence that both were
stationed near the missionaries. The
eldest one, through missionary influence,
was led to see his sins, repent of them,
and embrace Christ. He lived but a
short time after this; but he died in the
triumphs of faith.
Meanwhile the wido wed mother was
praying for her boys. She was lifting
up her heart in prayer for them. through
all the weary years, to the God of her
we have mentioned, as she was taking
down her family Bible to read, the door
was softly opened, and the younger son
appeared to greet the aged mother. He
wept upon her neck, confessed his follies,
and begged her to forgive his cruel treat
ment toward her. He told her he had
turned to God, and Christ his Saviour
had blotted out all his sins. Then he
narrated his past history, in connection
with the influence the missionaries of
the cross had on his own mind, while
his mother, with tears of overfiowing
gratitude, exclaimed, "Oh, my twenty
poundsl my twenty pounds! l have
cast my bread upon the waters, and
now have found it after many days. -
