The President and the Church Bells

Crete" said the President to his brave little wife about II Thursday morning, ias the ringing strokes from the belfry of ithe Episcopal Church, almest across from the cottage, reached his ears, what .are they ringing that bell tor?'
 "ThatT said Mrs. Garfield, who had been waiting for the surprise; that's sthe church where we were when you first come down. They're all going 'there to pray for you to get well, and failing on her knees she said: And I'm going to pray. too, James, that 1t may be soon, for I know already that the iOther prayer has been heard"
 From where he lay Garfield could see the carriages draw up and group after group go in. He could even hear the ssubdued refrain of Jesus, lover of my isoul,' as it was borne by on it's heaven ! ward way. Thrilled with emotion, a atear trickled down the Presidents face. After a while a sweet, wOman's voice \ 'arcse singing from One of Sir Michael .COsta's nOblest OratoriOs. "Turn thou 7 unto me and have mercy upon me, sang st he voice, flor am desOlate; I am deso- ate and afflicted; the troubles of my sheart are enlarged. O, bring thou me iOut of my distressess, out of my dis dresses, my God"
 The people in the church sat almost
 spellbound under the voice. Mrs. Geo. INV. Childs, who sang the recitative, was affected deeply and made 1t seem to all i 'what it must have been to her, a prayer Elm music. Rev. Dr. Morton of Philadel- sphIa was the officiating clergyman, and sprayed long and fervently that the Chief
 Magistrate of the nation be preserved to .the people and made more useful than 3before. It was a solemn, deeply-felt and sawe-inspiring service, but still made ibright by the evidence of religious hope.
