a man who had accomplished upon the
violin what no human hand had ever
achieved before him, the amateurs
waited with feverish excitement. In
few moments Paganini reappeared,
holding the announced sabOt in his
hand.
Suddenly notes so plaintive and sweet
fall from the new violin that everyone
is moved to tears. The artist seems no
longer to belong to the earth. The
musical drama he executes could have
only one significance. Hear the rolling
of the drum; behold the excitement of
the military life, the sorrow of the sol
der who bids farewell to his compan-
ions, the approach to the paternal roof,
the meeting Of the betrothed, the tears
of JOY.
Tremendous applause shakes the
salon to the very foundation. The la
dies throw boquets and the gentlemen
kneel before the illustrious artist. Here
and there one is seen drying the tears
which the magic power of the music
caused to flow.
No one sees a young girl secreted be-
hind curtain and crying bitterly. 1t
was Louisette, the poor chambermaid,
upon whom the return of the conscript
had made the deepest impression.
Pin again calls her to him and says:
My dear child, we have been fortu-
nate enough to collect 500 francs more
than is required to procure a substitute
for your bctrothed. Take them. They
will be sufficient to defray the expenses
of the journey. And now, as 1 am
about to leave this house, I give you
souvenir. Here is the old sabot. Per-
haps it merits the name of violin, now"
Louisette was too much affected to
speak, and grasping his hands she COW
cred them with tears of JOY and graft
tude.
The violin was very fine dowry for
the young girl. She sold it to an anna
teur for 6 1000 francs, and it has become,
by inheritance, the property of a great
Belgian manufacturer, who naturally
enough values it at very high figure,
and loves to relate its history.

Life. like romping school boy full of glee,
Doth bear us on his shoulders for time;
There is no path too steep for him to climb
With strong, 1.-THE limbs as agile and as free
As some young roe, he speeds by vale and sea,
By fiowery mead, by mountain peak sublime,
And all the world seems motion set to rhyme,
Till, tired out, he cries, Now carry me-"
In vain we murmur, leavem Life says fan
playm
And SEXES on US. Cad! he goads US so
He does not let US sit down all the day;
At each new step we feel the burden grow,
TIL our bent backs seem breaking as we go
Watching for death to meet US on the way.
From Ella WheeIer's Poems.

Rev. MT. Brewster,s Resisnation.

Rev. MT. Brewster's Resignation.
 Ats meeting Thursday night, held in Christ church. of the parishioners, the resignation of the pastor Rev. MT. Brewster, was unan- imously accepted. Many of the parishioners of course regret that they will have to part in an official way with their pastor, for they esteemed him very highly, and up to within the last few years he had been actively en- gagged in his pastoral duties, endearing him. self to them in ways that will not soon fade from their memories. Mir. Brewster has been pastor of Christ church about 29 years He has ably filled the pastoral office He took charge when the parish was but 8 mission. The church was erected at a cost of about $1O, ,0OO and the funds were raised by subscription. Rev. MT. Brewster was installed pastor, and so re- mained until the present time. IsSere have been added many improvem ents to the edi- flee, including the putting in of a new organ some time ago that cost $2, 900. Since about last Easter the regular pastor has been un- able to officiate He has been suffering from nervous prostration. He preached only on one occasion since Easter. Recognizing the important fact that the parish needed the care, guidance and active ministrations of clergyman who could circulate among the parishioners and also take charge of other ministerial duties, he sent in his resignation. Mr. Brewster is now in Saratoga, New York, under medical care. During the past six months Rev. o. s. Prescott, Rev. Mir. Gris- wold, of Guilford, and others have been fill ing the vacant pulpit Not for some time to come will there be any permanent pastor chosen. Mir. Brewster will in all probabili ty, be appointed pastor emeritus.

 was given by one of the men at the life-sav- bar. The surf-boat was launched at once. The gallant crew, full of excitement, sprang to their oars, and the boat soon reached the monster. Captain Cobb, with his large double-barreled gun, fired ten times with the largest size shot, which seemed to have no effect upon the whale. The party had no harpoon of any consequence or lance, but the party went to work to stop up his spout with pole, and that seemed to have no ef- feet. The next movement was to try the ef- feet of an axe on the head of the whale to cut hole into him, which Captain Spady did with great alacrity and eIpertness, while the fish was foundering in the water, but this did not even produce the des1red effect
 The party resolved to make 8 last desper- ate effort upon his life, and sharpening 8 good sized pole drove it into the hole which had been cut distance of three feet and broke it. The party had one small harpoon, which they threw into the whale, but the cord parted By this time the tide began to rise and the whale began to get & little live ly. While the men were talking the whale gradually moved off as the tide rose. He was not less than seventy feet long, and grounded in twelve feet of water. How much beam he had no one could tell. Night coming on probably saved tke whales life, for he went as straight out the inlet, says one of the party, as Captain Cronell could have steered his vessel.

A Street-Car Romance


 "Oh how are you It's long time since I've seen you," exclaimed fine-looking gen. tleman to the conductor as he jumped aboard an Albia street car the other day. The con- ductor responded like an old friend and re- marked that it was nearly two years since they had met. The gentleman went through to the front platform to smoke his cigar, and the car went on. Ten years ago one oppres- sive summer night the same gentleman, who was then and is now dealer in teas and spices in New York, was guest at the Troy House. He asked the clerk if there were any amusements that evening, and, receiving negative answer, inquired where he could find a cool spot to spend an hour or two. The clerk advised ride on the street-cars to Albia and back. The gentleman boarded car. Next to him sat young lady, the daughter of poor but respected Englishman, then resident of Albia. The young lady was not very young, neither very handsome, but was attractive and bright. Her occupation was school teaching. A remark by the gentleman led to an informal conversation, which be- came so interesting that when the young lady's residence at Albia was reached she was not aware of it until the conductor called her attention to the fact. After she had gone the gentleman asked the conductor who the lady was. The conductor, who had supposed the two were old friends, gave the young woman's name. Said the gentleman, "I would like to meet her again. am widower with two children, and live in New York. have nev- CT met lady in my life who looked, talked, and acted so much like my wife as the young woman I accidentally met on your car." The conductor, taking an interest in the romantic case, answered the varied questions of the widower, and finally agreed to take his card to her and ask for an interview at her home on the following evening On the following evening formal introduction took place, which was followed six months later by 8 marriage, investigation of the gentleman's statements concerning his standing having verified them in every detail. The former widower now has five children and happy home in all respects. He was recently pay ing visit to his parents-in-law. We must not omit to state that after the wedding the bridegroom met the accommodating conduc- tor, and said that the latter might expect to receive chest of choice tea as little per sonal token. The conductor, who is not only man of sturdy common sense, but also a man of bluff independence, politely begged that no such favor be extended him. ''For, said he, 'tI only acted as 8 friend and did what I thought was right it turned out we'll"

 At an early hour on Monday, the 16th inst, sad and unexpected bereavement threw gloom over the quiet town of East Haven in the death of her honored and re- spected citizen, Deacon Thaddeus Street.

Death of a Famous Stallion.

General Withers' celebrated old stallion
 Cassius M. Clay, jr. (strader's), died sudden ly on the 22d inst. He seemed hale and vig- orous, for horse of his extreme old age, on Saturday evening. He was sick Sunday morning, and he stood up on his feet like g brave old veteran as he was until he fell and died almost instantly. General Withers pur- chased him in the fall of 1875. Cassius M. Clay, jr, was foaled in 1852. His sire was Cassius M. Clay, and his dam by Abdallah. He was foaled the property of Dr. spaulding, of Greensburg, Ky, and in 1868 he was pur- chased by R. S. Strader, of Bullitsville, Boone county, Ky. He was the sire of the black gelding Harry Clay, record 2:234. Few breeding farms could bear the loss of such horse and not feel it more seriously than Fairlawn ]; but when Almont, Happy Medium and Aberdeen, not to mention younger stock horses remain to bear its colors, it's progress will continue unchecked by the death of the veteran.
