The Alumn2 of Hardin College
next Saturday, January 80. 1881,
in obedience to the call of the sresi
dent who appointed Henri. tia Gooch.
Llnnie Steele, Sudie Edmonston,
Kate Wilder, Mrs. Lizzie Hicks, and
to which were added, by vote, the
president and secretary, Laura Clark
and Nina Ribble, to prepare a paper
expressing the feeling of the men,
beers in reference to the death oftheir
sister graduate, Miss Fannie Rose
mond. Only once before has q SINH
lar summons brought us together.
From the same class has God seen
fit to select two Of our members for
his mansion above. 1t seems but
yesterday that We were side by side
in the school room, and to-day many
little incidents of school life come
crowding to the mind, scenes in
which she mingled with us, words
which she uttered The pleasant,
kindly disposition eve shown by her,
the Willingness to perform all duties,
Won for her the love and respect OF
both teachers and schoolmates: and
rs we think of her useful and busy
life which promised such a glorious
sun set, but cut short in its morning
we a not hut realize how mysteri-
o,Is are the counsels of Death. How
strangely doth he select those whom
he calls to his silent realms. That
which we call death we regard as the
natural end of a fully completed life.
1t is but natural for the old in vea.s
to pass away. Like the gold brown
leaf that has lived and fluttered away
its spring AMI summe and filled the
period IF its existence and mission
and falls when autumn has draped it
in gorgeous funeral robings, like the
ripe fruit in its season, SO the old
naturally pass away to the realms of
the dead. But for the young, the
gifted, the promising, how sad. how
unnatural. How much harder for US
to bow in humble submission to the
will of God. We offer our kindest
sympathy to the parents. sister and
brother; but feel that in their great
affection our sympathy "a hut faint
iy tighten their burden of grief.
God said. Come home. thy work Is done.
Yet We bereft look down and weep.
But this is rest and peace tor her
He giyeth his beloved sleer."
lis hard for us to bear in mind
That every gift from heaven is sent
To cheer us here a little while,
That Christ himself was only lent.
Our hearts 50 cling to those We love,
That we forget and mourn and weep.
When We should praise his blessed naihe
For giving his beloved sleep.

aggree atlng 81, 13S miles, 1858, 167; for 1922
other routes, known as the Star" routes ag-
or eating 23l, 299 miles, S. 1857 $50. Total cost,
$19. 423, 800. AS compared with the last annual
statenle ut the railroad service shows an increase
of rs routes, of 6,249 miles, and OF VI, ll4,3o2
The annual cost of the steamboat service
shows decrease of five routes, Of 2,1S2 miles
and of S134.O54 In annual cost the Star"
service shows an increase of 400 routes; de-
crease of 3949 routes and of 1854 IA in annual
cost The cost of the "Star" service for 1881,
was $685.. 1856, decrease of 97-l00 per cent. in
cost as com pared with tho amount expended
during the year 1856 :,
The appropri ,ton for the year ending June
3Oth 1852, is 81 900, being $942,647, or 10
55-1OO per cent in excess of the cost OF the SER
vice for 1881 1t is thought the estimate Tor

80 600. a desrease OF $650,000 from the appro-
priation for 18S2-$292 ,645 more than the rate
of expenditure June 30, 1881.
In this estimate provision is made Tor new
service that may be petitioned for and estao-
lished after due investigation. Looking TO the
requirements of the sections interested and
nostal facilities now furnished, General Elmer
saws that had no orders been made reducing
the "Star" service, there would have been
needed at the rate of past increases about $9,-
100000 for 1882.

A Romantic Story of Mics Thursby's Con-
quest in Sweden.

rams flgdIO.l
Soon after her grand success at the Paris
Conservative last year, Mile. Emma Thursby,
the American vocalist, renewed her triumphs
in Sweden. While she was singing In Stock
holm, Sweden, sudden storm came up one
evening, and when she left the concert hall
servant attired in elegant livery bowed to her
and informed her that his master had ordered
him to place his carriage at her disposal. Miss
Thursby hesitatcd, but the carriage was there,
with two handsome white horses attached, and
finally she entered it with the person attending
her. While she remained in Stockholm the
same elegant equipage was always at the door
at her disposal. She went to Copenhagen.
The first evening, as she was about to leave
her hotel for the concert room the same horses
and carriage and servant were at the door
awaiting her. She travelled through Sweden
and Norway and, stopping at the principal
cities, found in each the mysterious equipage.
AT length she was about to return to Paris, and
but three DAYS we're to pass before she should
quit Scandinavia. Then she received call
from NJ X He was the owner of the carriage
and the employer of the servant who attended
it. The matter was explained on his part and
her thanks had been expressed. "Mademoi-
selle," said he. twill you do me the honor to
become my wife?"
Mile T6ursby replied that it would be i'm
possible, and in explanation said that Oh eav-
ing her parents she had promised two things
The first was never to sing in a theatre or be-
come member of All opera company, aud the
second was that she would not marry any but
an American The first promise she had kept,
aud the second notwithstanding the circnm-
stances, she would not break. "And you are
not an American" she added. nj Y. reflected
a moment, and then asked, And II become
an American?" "In that case, was the rep'y,
Il can act my own pleasure" Two days later
NJ X returned to make his adieux. Said he.
Tomorrow depart for the United States. l
hope with the credit at my disposal to bscome

shall then return to Paris to realize the full
fillment of your promise to be my wife," M.

Cowper's Hymn.

Cowper's beautiful hymn, "God Moves in a
Mysterious Way" was universally sung in the
recent memorial services to our late President.
By order of Bishop Littlaiohn, it formed part
of the service in all the Episcopal churches of
Long Island. No hymn could have been writ
ten more appropriate for the occasion. There
isa sublime sermon in that composition; every
verse, aye every couplet and line can furnish
a text for an entire discourse. There is some.
thing interesting and pathetic in the origin
and composition OF this hymn which is not
generally known, nor have ever seen it mem
toned in the biographies or sketches of the
life of the author. 1t was told me by an old
clergyman who was well acquainted with the
circumstance. Co@per, it will be remembered,
was of a melancholy turn of mind, and his
mind became morbid on the subject of religion.
In fact, at times he had fits of insanity. In
London, while Illuminating on the usefulness of
human life, he was seized with the sudden i'm
pulse TO destroy himself-to go at once aud
drown himself. He ordered a hackney coach
TO be brought TO the door. When it arrived he
rushed down stairs and into it without giving
or iers where it was to be driven. Waiting
some little time, the driver asked where he
would like to be taken. "To the Thames.
The manner and look in which these words
pears to have had more than the usual intelli-
gence of men of his class that his occupant
was deranged. He drove off, but not to the
river where Cowper had ordered him. He
drove up one sire ct and down another for q
long time while C9wper sat back in his seat in
mental abstraction, which convinced the driv-
or that he WAS crazy. After a long, round
about drive he drove up to the poets lodgings
and told him he had arrived where he was Or
dered." Cowper descended from the vehicle,
entered the house and went to his room. Then
in bis returning consciousness, the truth OF the
entire transaction entered his mind, and he
found that he had not seen the river at all, nor
had he drowned himself, as he intended when
he left the chamber. two hours before. In this
ne saw the hand of Providence and imm ediate-
~ composed the hymn,
God moves in mysterious way
His wonders TO peri rm.
Which will be sung as long as hymns are suns
in religious worship.
