An exquisite volume and one whose worth
will last throughout the years, not merely a
dainty gift for the holidays is Mr.. A. r. Mac
donough's transcription of The Lovers of Prov
ence, Aucassin aud Nicolette. (New York:
Fords, Howard & Hubert; Portland: Dresser
& M'Lellan.) This lovely chante-fable-a story
half recited, half sung, in alternate prose and
verse-was translated from a manuscript in
the Romance-language dating back to the
twelfth century, by Alexander Bda. who
added to it the grace of his artists pencil
From this version in modern French, Mr.. A.
r. Macdonough has made translation into
English. Mr.. Macdonough is known as a crit
ic OF the most refined, Just and sympathetic
quality; and his delicate and unerring tact as a
translator is particularly adapted to the hand
ling of this rapid. light-winged story He de-
spoils its wings of no whit of their delicate
down, he holds it so lightly that it iutters as
freely as over the ancient rose-gardens of
Provence. The delicious gayety the tender
charm, the romance and simplicity of the old
en- troubadours tale are transferred to mod
ern speech with all their freshness and bright
ness. The valuable preface from the French
of M. CASTOR Paris, and the brilliant and ele-
CANT critical note by Mr.. E. G. Stedman, in
cluding one of his best short poems. The
Provencal Lovers; and original designs by M.
Bda, Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote and Messrs
Gibson and Dielman, and the dainty covers
with lutes and roses and golden lettering-all
combine to make the volume a charming men,

and very pretty girl, too; so she had
many suitors, and her father proposed
that he would give her to the one who
was best at putting hoop ON coge. So
they met at his house one day, and he set
them to work at eoge-making, but one
after another broke the hoop in driving it
over the slaves. One of the suitors was
a greater fayo1tsu1th the girl than all
the others put together, and before he
made his trial, she whispered to him in
her native Gaelic: l...4 st

The young man took the whispered
hint, and put on the hoop SO carefully,
that he succeeded in the attempt in
which all the Others had failed. So

marriage; and her words continue to
this very day to be repeated as a proverb
by the coopers in Cantipe.

A Notable Troy Church Choir.
fTr0v Times 'tt Ft''

Tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of
the chorus choir of Christ Church, Of
which the Rev. Mr.. Malford is:the pop
ular and efficient rector. The choir was
organized on the first Sunday in Febru-
ary, 1870, with 43 members, and during
all the public services OF the intervening
years the attendance ~ averaged 10.
The choir now numbers H. The menu
bers are almost always in their places at
rehearsafs, whether the weather bs,
stormy or pleasant, cold or hot, or the
time day or night. The esprit de corps
is remarkable. Members say they would
rather attend rehearsals than 20 to social
entertainment. The choir is known fo1
its devotional attainments. The mem.
bers will not brook LAUGHING, talking, or
any unseemly conduct during public
worship. ~, tat .A i au.sF
They regard themselves not as sep.
arate organization from the congregation
engaged to do the singing, but as taking
part in the worship. One of their great
aims in rendering all kinds of music,
whether in plain hymns, simple chants
or more elaborate anthems, in solo or
chorus, is to enuneiate 30 clearly and dis
tinctly as to have the words intelligible
to the congregation; and also in singing
hymns 10 have the music go full and
hearty that members Of the congregation
will feel like joining in the singing.
Quite a number have gone out from the
choir to do good service and fill impor-
tant positions in other choirs in this and
other cities, and ons, whose musical edu-
cation was obtained in this choir, is now
the leader of large and efficient chorus
choir in neighboring city. There ara
16 sopranos, IL altos, 6 tenors and bassee
in the choir at the present time.
During all the years Of its existence
the choir has been under the direction ot
Mrs Nulford, wife of the pastor, and ito
success is due almost solely to her execu.
tive force and musical ability. She hat
done great work with eminent success.
but with patience, resolution, and zeal
that are fully deserving Of the reward
her labors have brought. The choir and
congregation of the church owe her o
debt of gratitude which, we venture to
say, will hardly be requited. Miss Min
ME Young has been the organist Of tho
choir during the period Of its existence,
and her services have been second only
to those Of Mrs. MulfOrd. .4.o'',

GENEREL HANCOCK IN GETTYSBURG.
Tobias Stewart. private in the six
hundred and twelfth Rhode Island Regi-
ment, relates an interesting account Of
conversation between himself and the
notorious General Hancock during the
thick of the fight on Cemetery Ridge
1t seems that Hancock had sent for Mr..
Stewart, ostensibly to consult with HIM
upon the propriety of turning the enc
my's left flank, but when ne arrived ct
Hancock's quarters he found that he was
wanted for something vastly different.
"Take my compliments to General Stone
wall Jackson" said Hancock, land tell
him that he can have this position for
three thousand dollars. can't sell out
for less. Ny duty to my country will not
permit me to sacrifice my corps for the
twelve hundred dollars lie offered me. u
Stewart Indignantly refused to betray the
army and the nation, and threatened to
put Hancock under arrest. At this Ham

troops IN represslEg such a movement
was due to the fact that they constituted
a. yet an unused force and that it WAS OF
the utmost importance that these whose
business it WIS to enforce the laws should
net get iat~ the habit of relying upon
the army to do what it was their duty to
do themselves, and that the people should
not be permitted to becothe accustomed
to seeing soldiers acting in such a capaci-
ty. Above all, he deprecated chance
collision. which might result in loss vt
life and arouse spirit of revenge, which
might lead to general uprising on the
part Of the mining population. In a let
ter written at the time by one OF the
counsel of the receivers, his instructions
were thus quoted
General Hancock is Of opinion that
the call for troops as a posse should he
used sparinsly and only when the civil
authorities absolutely need them, and
when called upon citizens should also be
sociated as part of the posse. General
Hsncock's disposition is to aid in every
way that he can. but very properly he
does not wish to impair the influence ex-
erted by the presence of the troops by
having them called upon too frequently.
or in any cases where the necessity does
not require it."
In short. while it was understood by
every one that. if it became necessary, lie
would do his dnty at'whatever cost. none
could have shown higher sense If his
disadvantages and danger Of using the
military as a substitute for the civil
power, or the restrictions OF the Consti
tuition and the laws upon such use; and.
it nay be added, that it was the opinion
at the time Of those best informed as to
the condition Of things in the mining
districts. that it was largely tn his wise
and humane forbearancc in the exercise
Of his power that the people Of Pennsyl
vania may ascribe their escape from 4
wretched conflict which would have in
volved the sacrifice Of many lives and
vast amount Of property.
It has heen justly said that General
Washington never rendered a greater SER
vice tn the country than by his suppress
sion Of the whiskev insurrection without
hloodshed, and there a:e, think, few
chapters in our history more instructive.
But Washington did not in 1894 prove
more conclusively how painful an idea "
it was "to exercise the military power
to suppress an insurrection," or how ear
nest was his "wish to render it unneces>
sarv by those endcavors which humanity.
life of peace and tranquility and the
happiness OF his fellow citizens dictated, -
than did Hancock in 1877. If he shall
prove equally calm and wise and cautious
and obe(ient to the law ir the exercise
of civil power, equally the master of
himself and masterful of others. lie will
be well able to give up his reputation as
General in exchange for that which he
will earn as President. S. D.

One day last week n young lady expre.s-
ed her determination to 0utdo DR.. Tan
ner by entering upon the stupcndous task
of not talking tor 40 days. She began
at 9 in the morning, and ut 1880 her
pulse was 50 feeble that the attending
physician thought she would die. nt11
her heart beat 26 minute, ana her rrspi-
rations were hardly noticeable. Her
trends urged her to discontinue her tel
rible task, and told her some gossip about
ID neighbor. On hearing it she immedi
ately rushed from the house, and meeting
a lady friend, talked until $50 in the
evening, and is now fully restored. Her
record of nearly two hours and quarter
of absolute silence now takes its place at
