The Organist's Dilemma.

A good story is told by one of the
Southern ID. DIS. He was pastor of
the - Church in the City of c..
The organ loft and choir gallery were
Immediately in the rear Of the pulpit,
and little elevated above it. The or
ganist was German, who, though .
line performer, was not remarkable for
great presence of mind, and was easily
disconnected. The hour for afternoon
service had arrived, and. though the
organist was in his place, the choir had
not arrived. BY some mishap, also,
the key of the organ had been mis-
placed. The minister, not knowing
these facts, slowly and solemnly arose,
and, after announcing hymn and read
ing it through, took his seat. There
was no response from the organ or
choir. Silence reigned supreme. Time
passed on. The minister and congre-
cation were becoming uneasy. All eyes
were turned to the organ loft. At
length the organist, with fidgety man.

When we read in the press dispatch
90 from London that the thermometer
(Fahrenheit) marked there from two to
five degrees above zero, we said to our
selves, THAT Is not very severe. We
have had it considerably colder this
winter in New York" And so we have
by the mercury; but we have not by
feeling. Those who have passed an
exceptionally cold winter in England
will not be apt to forget it. There is
probably no city in anything like the
same latitude where one feels the cold
as in London. The extreme humidity
of the climate is one great cause, and
another Is the absence generally of fur
naces and steam pipes, or of any of our
elaborate means Of keeping warm.
The English think, and with justice,
that we overhead our Offices, counting
rooms and dwellings, and we think,
with equal justice, that they underheat
their p, aces OF business and residence.
A medium between the two would be
both comfortable and wholesome.
When our transatlantic kinsmen expe-
rience such weather as they have had
this winter. they are willing to admit
the inadequacy of their heating appa-
ratus. They suffer much and MUIR
muringly; they declare that we
are sending them our winters to
counterbalance the many Injuries
of our expectation. The extraordinary
cold of l86O-81 has evoked an extra
ordinary number of growls from our
growing cousins over the sea, and has
seriously interfered with their outdoor
pleasuring. Nor is it strange. When
the mercury b at thirty-two degrees in

Each county in Texas has received
. donation of four leagues of land to

to $50, 900, but the interest has never
been used except to aid in the support
of public endowment. The Secretary

man who does not must be damned.
