Mason & Hamlin Organ Company cele-
brated bv dinner at Young's Hotel the
twenty-ffth anniversary Of the com
menccment of their business, which by
its own merits has grown to large pro
portions. At the start the capacity of
their works was two or three melodeons
per week, the best of which sold fol
about one hundred dollars each; then
present capacity is over two hundred
cabinet organs per week, and they are
most of the time behind orders, while
their best productions now command
five hundred dollars each, and in eXcep
tional eases several times this amount
In numbering their instruments they
have reached t04 900, having actually
made and sold nearly that number
Organs of their make have obtained Az

The Bride and Her DOwry.

A clergyman was sent for to visit girl
who was seriously i'll. The illness proved
fatal, and the mother was left bcreaved OF
her child as well as husband. A few days
after the child's funeral the widow called
and requested to see the clergyman. She
put into his hand small packet, which
she begged he would give to some society
which was sonding the Gospel to the
heather world. He opened the parcel
and to his amazement counted out twenty
dollars. He at once demonstrated with
the widow; told her that gaining hel
prearcious living as a laundress, she surely
ought not to give SO large a sum. With
firmness she urged him TO take it, and
then said, 'How | came to have this large
sum is just this: When my child was
born thought, She'll live to get married
some of these days, and thought would
put by little sum to he a store for her

professional Vanity Sacrificing Life

There was a considerable attendance OF
doctors. surgeons and students at the
Blank Hospital one day. Dir, a
celebrated surgeon. was TO amputate a
boys leg, and a brilliant operation was
looked for. 1t was brilliant but in the
midst of it one of the spectators saw a
spurt-spurt of blood that his practlced
eye told him ought TO be stopped at once.
He looked anxiously at the operator, but
though his eye saw it too, his pride was
blind TO it. To stop and bind it would
spoil the symmetry of the performance.
He went on, and finished to the admlra-
ton of the whole throng-'a splendid
operation"
The next morning our observing friend
went to the hospital. As the door was
opened for hm he said 10 the ianltor:
Little -- is dead" The man stared at
him in astonishment "Why, how do you
know that, SIRE Il knew he would die
when | saw the operation. Said the man
eyes, sir, he died this morning" That
same morning some one found the bril-
liant surgeon standing by the sheeted bed,
with "A face that told its own story. He
said he would give all he had IN the
world if he could bring that boy back to
life, for he knew that his vanity had
killed him. N. 7 Cor. Cincinnati Ga

Oh! what is friendship worth
II il turn from us in the hoursof grief,
Forgetting all the vows of yesterday,
Hears each deep sigh yet offers no relief,
Knows il can help, yet coldly turns away
Withholding words Of comfort from the heart
Pierced by great words or stabbed by SANDERS
dart?
Oh, what is friendship worth,
II, when We bend above the dying bed
OF one we love, We find our friend away
Absorbed by scenes Of mirth, where
pleasure led,
Careless of feeling or Of sorrows sway
Such things wound deeply, and We often moan
Friendship hath failed US, we must grieve
aonen
True friendship deals not thus;
1t hovers near with sympathetic tears
For things that pain, and smiles for
things that please;
In tribulation by the side appears;
When really needed never thinks Of ease
So hand in hand, friends through life's path
way move,
Cheering and eheered by constant deeds OF
love.
Then give me one true friend
To watch my coming and to love my name;
TO share my joys, TO soothe my hours OF
care;
I'll prize her more than station, power OF
fame
And feel that | am rich such love to
share.
Let pleasure vanish, worldly honors end,
Yet still the heart finds joy in one true friend

An Appreciative Old Party.


Sometimes it is rather difficult to sus-
tain a conversation even with man who
is apparently willing to talk. Yesterday,
on the c. b. II @. train coming east from
Fairfield, two men occupied seat just in
| front of me. One of them was a pleas
ant-looking old man, and the other was a
Young man, who looked like student.
They appeared to be strangers to each
other. and for some miles they rode i'll
silence. Then our train paused moment
to catch its breath at siding and a
freight train went laundering past us.
Then the Young man turned TO his neigh
Dor and said
''What wonderful thing is a railroad. y
"Eh?" said the old gentleman, looking
up with a pleased expression, CHI"
II say a raiIroad,' repeated the young
man, sis u wonderful thing
''Oh." said the old man, delighted, us
it,"
The Suddenly looking young man
looked as though he didn't know just cx-
actIy what to say to that, and nobody
blamed him.
But the old man was too well pleased
to find talkatige friend TO permit the
conversation TO die an untimely death as
that. so he asked. in brisk, interested
tones
'Why is it?"
The Young man looked as though he
didn't exactly know why, as indeed any
man might have looked under the circum-
stances. but he gathered himself and said,
with little rhetorical flourish:
"Whv, it winds through the valleys and
scales almost inaccessible, mountain
heights; it creeps along the dizzy Lodges
of the beating prcciplce and stretches
away hundreds OF miles across the smil-
ing plains and the limitless prairies; il
pierccs the rock-rihbed hills, and where
| il cannot climb it burrows; il winds
around -
Old gentleman, in fine burst Of en-
| thusiasm.
ooh, doesit?''
| Now. what could any man say to that
The Young man felt just that way and
all the fire died out of his ewes and the

Fashions Fantasies.

With all the qualities of beautiful col
| orcd materials for dresses, nothing can
equal the beauty and daintIness of hand
some black silk. This year the silks are
so perfect in finish, so soft and uncrump-
| lv, as never before. With the inimitable
| draperv of Worth 81 Heutenaar, and the
trimmings of beautiful jet, prssementerie
or old gold beading, these dresses are alb
solutely perfect tor rcn carriage costumes.
| The fanciful mantles and mantlllas to
match, with the tilmy masses of lace and
the glittering beading, are crowned and
completed by the straw bonnets shot with
golden threads, and have the fine feather
50 delicately powdered with gold as TO
have only suspicion created, which,
however, completely carries out the gen
eral idea. Not only for carriage dresses
are black silks pretty. Some of the
street costumes in it are absolutely 50
cheap as to make one ask twice that the
price be given. One in two pieces, a
tight-fitting coat and a skirt well draped,
were trimmed with silver-white and
black-stnped pekin. The effect was
novel and very odd. The lower f1ounce
had regular stripes of woolly black and
white, broad revers of it, and vest and
cording of similar kind. 1t was pretty
and stylish, and cost $35.
A coarse silk netting, like "a white seine,
is being used with great effect. The dress
is made in black silk The trimmings
are of some high color in rather wide satin
ribbon. Sometimes two colors are used,
such as poppy and gold satin. Over this
is loosely draped this fish-net, and then
the impression given is of iridescence.
The satin gieams out but subduedly.
With these dresses the sleeves are usually
of black lace, and the bare arm shows
through pleasantly to the observer, though
it processes to be covered to the wrist.
Among the grenadines shown this
spring are some of the most rich brocades.
At few feet they look precisely like
heavy silk brOcades, but closer observation
reveal the fact that the ground is of light
silk grenadine, and the brocades are
thrown in high reliefs of green and gold,
maroon and gold, &c Odder still are the
large plaided grenadines in faithful imi-
tation of the Madras or bandana plaits of
bright scarlet, gold, green and blue. At
first one says these would be atrociously
vulgar, but so skiIlfully are the colors
mingled that you can in momentfealize
what pretty effective Saratoga or Long
Branch gowns these might be. En- suite
with grenadines are the the long bands
of silk gauze embroidered in scarlet,
maroon and gold.
Among the stuffs shown for summer
wear are the most enticing Drilliantness
or percales, in such perfect stimulation
of silk patterns as to deceive the most ex
perienced eye. The prettiness of these
pOods when contrasted with old fashioned
patterns in percales is overwhelming.
The fould satins are equally lovely, as
the should be, costing ever so much more
yet cheap after all, as they are marked
one dollar. They come IN quarterinch
stripes of black and white, black and
gold, garnet and gold, &c, or in the neat
little polkn dots that you associate with
Yachting parties.

And bring my wig and nat'ral hair in sorrow

You'd make a purity deacon, wouldn't you
Why, look at me-
Did get to be deacon by petty larceny?
No, Stealin' is too risky for genuine piety.
We needn't allus tell the truth to Spite a

For if YOU don't take strangers in, in trade

But stealn' apples Sunday is the roa to moral

The Young Merchants.

Two country lads came at an early hour
to market town, and arranging their lit
tie stands, sat down to wait for customers.
One was furnished with fruits and veg
etables of the boys own cultivation, and
the others supplied with Holsters and fish.
The market hours passed along, and each
little merchant saw with pleasure his
stores steadily decreasing, and an equiv
alent in silver shining in his little money
cup. The last melon lay on Harry s stand,
when gentleman came by, and placing
his hand upon it said
''What fine large melon. What do
you ask for it my hoy?'

though it looks very fair, there is an UNI

over.

into the boys fine open countenance, sis
it very business-like to point out the de-
fects of your fruit to the customers?'

the boy modestly.
"You are right, little fellow; always re-
member that principle, and you will find
favor with God and man also. | shall re-
member your little stand in the future

turning to Ben Williams.
Eyes, sir, fresh this morning. caught
them myself, was the reply, and a pur
chase being made, the gentleman went
away.
Harry, what fool you were to show
the gentleman that spot in the melon
Now you can take it home for your pains,
or throw it away. How much wiser is he
about those Holsters l caught yesterday
Sold them for the same price | did the

stairs, they found stream of water IN
the upper chamber gradually making Its
way to the floor below. 1t leaked from

the skv-hght had blown off; the pretty

and feebly lighted by the Struggling
