a Conference Hold in Pittsbure
with asytcw to Closer Union. but
the Object not Attained.
PirrsnURa, September 25.-A confer
ence Of delegates from tho Psalm sing
ing churches, called for the purpose of
consulting with reference to a closer
union and to devise means whereby the
custom OF psalm-singing in churches
may be preserved. met here this morn
ing. Fifteen delegates representing the
United Presbyt tcrian, Southern Asso-
ciatc Reformed and Old Side Reformed
Presbyterian churches responded to the
roll call. The Rev. DR.. Boyce, Of
South Carolina, was elected chairman,
and tho Rev. w. A. Mehard, OF Wash.
ington, Pa, secretary. The object of
the conference was then read, and it was
decided to allow each delegate an op-
portunity to give his views as 70 the
best method of effecting the desired un-
ion. Lengthy but harmonious discus
| sion then ensucd. in which it was shown
that the delegates were almost unani,
nous in favor Of organization, but they
did not think it were possible at the
present time.
| Phe Rev. DR., Presley, of South Car
olinn, offered a series Of resolutions ia
voring organic reunion, and committee
consisting Of one member from each
represented body was appointed to con-
slider the same. !, The committee retired
and returned this evening, reporting /.
series of resolutions, in brief, as fol-
lows:
| .Resotred, That in the Judgment of
this conference tits not only desirable
bnt practicable to bring about more ef-
fectual cooperation between the Pres
byterian churches represented that it
is the duty Of the churches to maintain
with united testimony their. adherence
to the Westminster! conference as his
toricaily interpreted, and to cultivate to-
ward each othera spirit of fraternal af-
| That the psalms in the best uletrical
1 version Httainable constitute tho only
divinely authorized hymnology, ana
must be used exclusively in the matter
Of church praise.
g That while organic union does not ap.
pear practicable at present, we lay be-
fore these bodies here epfssented the
question Of cooperation, and recom-
mend them to devise o plan for this
end.
That these resolutions be transmitted
to the different churches represented in
this conference, that they may express
their jndgmcntsfor a future conference.
The committees resolutions were
carefully considered and were finally
adopted, after which the conference ad-
journed. The sentiment of the dele
gates was that greater unity would be
effected in the near future. ~.

WEDDING TOUR IN A CANOE.

Down the historic tide of Lake Cham plain, in the early days of the summer that is to be, will float the frailest, fairyest, strangest bark that was ever launched on our crystal waters. It will be bridal ca- noe, fitted with sails of silk, with nickel plated paddles and mast, and costing not less than $1 ,O00. In it young American gentleman of wealth and leisure and his lovely bride will make their bridal tour. The canoe is to be what is known as a shadow" having keel-board and mast, so that the happy voyagers can spread their dainty sail and glide along unwearied by the tolls of oar or paddle. They will em- bark at Riverside Park, on the Hudson river, sail up that noble stream to Troy, where they will make portage to Lake George, and thence, with short portage over the dam at Ticonderoga, enter Lake Champlain and court the summer breeze, with rrow pointed for the Queen city of the lake. Every evening they will spread their tent on the grassy slope of some lake side grove, and while the jewelled fingers of the beautiful bride gather driftwood fo1 the vesper fire, the young husband will make his way to the nearest farm house and dicker with the Addison county farm. CT for eggs and milk The exact date o1 their arrival at the Queen city has not been announced, and will probably be d. pendent in large measure upon the kind ness of the weather clerk and the direc ton of the wind. Should St. Albans still be in existence by the time they reach the city, they will provision their craft at the grocery store and cruise among the islands to our unforulate hamlet, where they will stow their clnoe aboard palace cal and steer for the headwaters of the Go
 nectcut. Down that beautiful river they will float at their leisure, contracting sun bufn, muscle and health, and when finally l they emerge in the blue waters of the Sound, they will have their canoe put or the deck of one of the steamers plying b. tween Hartford and New York, and so re turn to the metropolis of the western con | tinent.

ALWAYS A RIVER TO CROSS.

 There is always river to cross, Always an effort to make If there is anything good to win, Any rich prize to take. Yonder's the fruit we crave Wonder the charming scene; But deep and wide, with troubled tide, Is a river that lies between. For the treasures of precious worth We must patiently dig and dive; For the places we long to fill
 We must push and struggle and strive; And always and everywhere
 We'll find in our onward course Thorns for the feet and trials to meet And difficult river to cross. For the rougher the wave that we take, The stouter the heart and the nerve; The stones in our path we break, Nor e'er from our impulse swerve. For the glory we hope to win
 Our labors we count no loss 'Tis folly to pause and murmur because Of the river we have to cross. So ready to do and to dare Should we in our places stand, Fulfilling the Masters will, Fulfilling the souls demand; For though as the mountains high The pillows may war and toss, They'll not overwhelm if the Lords at the hel1 When the difficult river we cross.
