A FARMHOUSE STORY.
BY A YOUNG LADY OF LITTLE ROCK


schooner that sailed at sunrise that morning
and when John went to the wharf after find
ing out all this he was told that the schoon
er was zone of them white specks he saw
way off there"
There was nothing to do but wait patiently
for his return, and after nursing John through
his illness, began to count how long it would
be before the schooner's return, and finally it
was time; but John said we must allow for
rough weather, and tried to be patient At
last, as day after day went by, even John
grew anxious, and went over to the city to
inquire, and was told it was squaly up the
lake, and the schooner was past due.
That very night the storms that had swept
over the lake came to US, and we had most
terrific gale with the wind bowling like wild,
and the lightning struck one Of our poplar
trees, while the stormy light made the water
look green as it dashed over the sand. " God
save all on the water tonight" said John, as
we went to the window and looked out, and
my heart stood still with fear, as we saw
through the rain and darkness, two rockets
sent up as signals for help. 1t must be some
vessel in distress. We watched all night, and
by the grey light Of the morning, John went
out for the boat and tried to launch it, but
the surf would toss it back like leaf onto
the shore. AS it grew brighter, what was
that we saw on the rocks way up the shore;
surely it couldn't be wreck. But there it
was and we could only see that it was a
schooner in distress John was like wild he
tried again and again to launch his boat and
was lost to fear for he did finally succeed in
pushing it off in the waves that seemed bent
on taking it under. They dashed around
and over it, and l. with my hand over my
eyes, strained every nerve to watch him, as
the wind blew and the water was without
mercy, for now he was out of sight and now
mere Black dot on the water.
1t seemed hours that | walked up and
down inthe clustering wind waiting for Johns
return. saw other black specks lowering
around what must be the wreck, and such a
confusion up there, I couldn't make it all out.
But there was boat coming this way, it
must be John Yes, it was, and as he grew
nearer, great horror seized me- for his face
told a dreadful story and I could not go
near the boat

over the side of the boat, though the water
was 50 rough he could hardly brave it. |

Hnr. mcwhinnie at Cambridge.

The Boston Traveller last night said "Rev.
James McWhinnie, OF Portland, occupied the
pulpit of the First Baptist church, Cambridge,
yesterday forenoon. There was large at
tendance. After the opening exercises Mr..
McWhinnie first addressed the younger por-
ton of the congregation, as is customary at
this church, speaking from the text as found in
Acts xix. Is. The subject of bis main dis
course were the words as found in John j, 81
''And he said unto them, verify, verify, say
unto you, hereafter ye shall see heaven open,
and the angels of God ascending and descend
ing upon the Son of man" The preacher
went on to show the truths of Jesus teachings,
now heaven was open to sinners. and the need
of divine authority to teach this truth. He
considered the scepticism of some believers,
and portrayed very yividly the results of sin.
The mystery of the atonement was touched on
and also Gods suffering for the sinner. Mr..
McWhinnie has pleasing delivery, which is
somewhat like that of the Rev. Mr.. Chase the
last pastor. His illustrations were forcible
and convincing, sometimes given in con-
versational manner. While Mr.. McWhinnie
has not yet accepted the call of the society he
would no doubt prove popular pastor"

neacon' who, three times, chanted the words,
"Lumen Christi.'
The same symbolism reappeared in the pascal
CANDLE which was blessed by the deacon, who
hxeo In 1t i've grains of blessed incense in
memory OF the five wounds of our Lord, and
the precious spices with which He was anoint-
90 ia the TOMB, and after wards lighted il from
the candle on the reed. The use of the pascal
canale goes as far back as the time Of Pope
Zosinus 10 Ali, and the sublime words of ne.
"Exsltet sung by Rev. ID. DeCelles--s ri.
umphant hymn OF praise, are attributed bv tbe
greatest critics TO st. Augustine. The blessing
of the candle was followed by the twelve
prophecies, and after they were read the bish-
ops ana priests went In procession to bless the
font. This last blessing carries us back TO
those ancient days In which the Catechumens
were presented to the bishop for baptism on
Holy Saturday. The water in the font was
scattered towards the four quarters of the
world, to indicate the Catholicity of the
church, and the world wide efficacy Of her
sacraments. The bishop breathed on the
water in the form of q cross and plunged the
pascal candle three times into the water. for
the spirit OF God was to hallow it, and th pow
a few drons the oil of Csteehumeas and of the
Cbrism were poured, in order 90 signify the
union of Christ our anoiDted King, with His
people. On the way back from the font the.
ltanies OF thesaints wee sung and as they end
Cd, mass was begun. AT the Gloria the organ
sounded, the bells were rung, and the joyful
strains of the Allelulia pealed forth.
So much for Holy Week. The Rev. T. P.
Linnehan, Rector of the Cathedral, acted as
master OF ceremonies in manner deserving
the highest praise, during the entire week.
The services at the Cathedral on last Sunday
were of a very interesting and impressive ma
ture. Bishop Healy, pontifcated, having as
assistant priest, the Rev. T. P. Linnehan,
whilst the Rev. FIR. Sicard, O. p, acted AZ
Deacon, and FIR. Sturton as Sub-deacon. The
Right Rev. Bishop preached on the feast Of
the day calculating his sublime ideas with q
happy selection of words for which his lordship
is noted. In the evening there were Pontificai
Vespers, and the iubilant strains of the hymns
betokened that "Christ hath truly risen."

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
LIZZIE MAY ULMER.


Probably no actress, other than lisa
dora Cameron, of the old stock company which
adorned the stage of the Portland Museum,
possessed more friends in this city than Lizzie
May Ulmer. Her personation of Louise in the
'Two Orphans" and Richelieu in 'Richelieu
at Sixteen" created an impression among
theatre-goers that the little actress was on the
road to fame and fortune. Their predictions
have been verified and to-day Miss Ulmer is
one of the most popular actresses on the
boards. On Wednesday next she will appear
at Portland Theatre as Carrots in $40" and
which has been called, in the vernacular of
the stage San electric success" There was q
large advance sale yesterday.
NOTES.
Maggie Mitchell will be at Portland Theatre
next Tuesday evening.
The Lyceum offered an excellent bill last
night. Fox and Ward pleased the audience
exceedingly, and SO did John F. Fenton.
Mabel Leonard and Sadie Lorraine. These per-
formers are a capital addition to the regular
Company.
The Juvenile Opera Company in "Iolanthe'
will crowd City Hall Saturday afternoon.
Tickets at Stockbridge's
Mr.. Mccullough ended his season on Satur-
day night, at the Novelty Theatre, Williams
burg. He attracted crowds to that place and
was greeted with kindly and sympathetic APP
plause. Mr.. Mccullough, though much better
in health than he was a year ago, is not robust
and stands in need of reSt-which he will now
tske, and it is likely that he will pass the sum-
mer in Europe.
As to MAY Blossom" Belasco's play, Mr..
Frohman is enthusiastic. ST am only afraid .
said he, sthat the actors are too rnuch interest
ed IN It. When they are not on the stage they
rush round to see it from the front. 1t is a
quiet domestic story, relying on no mechanical
effects, though those introduced are all very
clever. The cast is extremely strong, incIud-
ing as it does, Miss Georgia Cayvsn, Joseph
Wheelock, Whiffen, Magnify, LsMoyne and
Ramsey. Miss Cayvan and MIR. Wheelock
have parts that are especially effective, giving
them excellent opportunities. One OF the
prettiest tableaus is the burial of the bird by q
group of little children. Tommy Russell plays
in this as well as in the Fatal Letter" at the
Union Square.
Frau Materna, the soprano, and Herr Scaria,
the basso, of the Wagner Festival concerts
have been members of the Royal Opera in
Vienna more than ten years, and are each en-
titled to q pension on retiring They hold,
respectively tie offices of KammersaeDgerin
and KammersaeDger, which makes them
responsible only to the Emperor for breach of
contract, and entities them to an extra pension
on retiring. Herr Winkelmann, the tenor, is
also a member of the Vienna opera.
