Hon. John B. Brisbin has prepared a very
elaborate and interesting lecture on "Aoses,
the Jurisprudent," which he has kindly con-
scented to deliver at Plymouth church, for
the benefit OF the Gospel Temperance union
OF ST. Paul, on Friday evening December
10. Mr.. Bris5in has found in Moses char
acter that has impressed him very deeply 10
various ways. as was very natural, the Judi
cial phase OF the great Hebrew law giver's
character attracted Mr.. Brisbin's attention
more particularly, and II is to this that the
lecturer has directed bis attention. The well
known literary aud legal ability and acquire
ments Of Mr. Brisbin enable him 70 treat The
subject in new aud interesting way, that
cannot fail TO entertain in a very high de-
gree any who hear the lecture Tickets at
fifty cents each can be had at the rooms OF

The Choral Sncictn.

had the pleasure of attending the rehear-
sal of the st. Paul Choral society last Mon
day evening and was not only delighted with
the exercises but gratifed with the manifest
improvement since the last season. The
evening was entirely appropriated to the
choral passages in Handelis grand oratorio
of ''the Messiah" Sig. Jannatta, if posi-.
BILE, was more enthusiastic than on ordinary
occasions and the same spirit prevailed
throughout the assemblage. Every passage
was taken up with most commendable de-
cision and prom tness, no Earring in time,
or misapprehension of sentiment was appar-
rent, and what was most to be applauded,
was distin etness of enunciation. On the
whole / have never witnessed a rehearsal pre-
senting more conclusive evidence of the
dictation of its mastery director. 1 under
stand that on the Both inst ''the Messiah
will be presented at the Davidson roller skat-
ing rink with an array of professional at
traction and local choral accom- plishmeuI
that hope will command degree of pa
tronage which will give stability toIthe organi-
cation which has SO materially labored for
our enjoyment. HARMONIC.

future time. The ladies extend their than ks
to all who aided them in their enterprise,
and especially to Mr.. Horace E. and Mrs.
Thompson, for their kindness in donating
the use of one Of the stores in the Portland.
The easy chair voted TO the most popular

Thomas, he receiving the greatest number
of votes. An elegant table spread was voted
to Mrs. S. E. Finch, as the most popular mar
ried lady on the bluff. Florence Brainerd
won the big doll, as the most popular little
girl. The foot rest, mounted on deer horns 5,
was voted Mr.. S. E. Finch, as the most pop

serve a good deal of credit for their man
agement Of the fair, and should be proud of
their success.

On Thursday afternoon the ladies of

CHAPTER XIV.
What no! murder!

The night. its stiffness, its peace, was
suddenly rent in twain by shrek so
savage, so awful, that it drove the blood
curdling round the hearts of those who
heard, and for one helpless moment
rooted them to the ground on which
they stood, while their flesh crept,
awaiting it knew not what.
Frank recovered himself first, instinct
causing him to connect that cry with
Madcap, though the voice was not hers;
and scarce knowing where he went, he
ran like one mad out of the nursery and
along the corridors, till he reached the
opposite wing, where, attracted by the
light shining through half-open door,
he pushed it wide, and stood trying to
collect his senses, endeavoring to grasp
the scene upon which he gazed.
In an armchair, drawn close to the
window, sat Madcap, to all appearance
dead, her white wrapper all disordered
and stained with blood, while Mr.. Eyre,
standing beside her, held his handker-
chief to her side, and on seeing Frank,
made gesture to him to approach.
He was still in evening dress, and no
speck Of blood was about him save on
his hands, which were deeply dyed from
the Office he filled; but his voice was
steady as usual when he asked Frank
to ride at once to Marmiton, and fetch
o doctor.
"Not one OF these fools could saddle
a horse" he added, with look Of scorn
toward the servants who had fastened
on Franks heels, and now crowded to-
gether, sobbing, crying, stumbling,
Josephine alone preserving her self
control. r
1t was she who was the first to OBJ
serve that the window was open; she
who cried out, after hurried glance
round, that the diamonds were gone;
she who removed little table from her
mistress's side that held handker-
chief, q book, and o few trifles, bring
ing in Its place q heavier one, upon
which she placed the medicine chest
that Mr.. Eyre babe her bring from his
dressing-room.
But, alas! alasi poor Madcapl The
hand that did medicine thee to that
sweet sleep" could easier lay thee thus,
still and silent, than rouse thee to life
again; and as though conscious Of the
helplessness Of his efforts, her husband
suddenly ceased them, and carried her
toward the bed, upon which she sank
like snow. 81
As Mr.. Eyre laid her down, he looked
mp. "Seize him!" he cried; and all eyes
were turned to the window, through
which mans face peered-heavy, ami
NAL, fixed in kind Of fascination that
held 1t motionless. when dozen hands
