Harper,s Ferry Letter.
.HAnrEK,s FEKnr. Aug.11. ,85

E - a FE ~
HARPER's FERRY, Aug. III, '85.
Dear EdtoT:&The Musical and
Literary entertainment for the benefit
of the Presbyterian Church of this
place, on the evening of the 10th of
August, was a very enjoyable affair.
Ice-cream was served in a room adj
joiningt the hall, presided over by Mrs.
Florence Kirwin and others. The
hall was filed at an early hour and
the following programme rendered:
The Bolivar quartette, with Miss
Fannie Baden as organist, sang
"Come where the Lilies Bloom"
Miss Davis, of Washington, read the
Polish Boy. John Kirby sang The Old
Sexton, playing his own violin ac-
compartment, which alone was worth
the price of admission. Miss Minnie
Chambers sang " Dream Faces" by
request-Miss Lizzie McCreight as
pianist. Then Miss Holmes, of Phila-
delphia, recited the Cleopatra" which
was the gem of the evening. Miss
Holmes is a guest of the Misses Nc
Creight. Miss Eva McCreight sang
"Twickenham Ferry in her usual
sprightly style. Miss Emma John
son and Mr.. Will Irwin sang a Comic
Duett, which was fully appreciated.
Miss Gertie Yantis presided also at
the organ. The other participants in
solos, Duets and trios, were Misses
Cavalier, Winters and others. A
recitation from Miss May Winters
showed fine eIocutionary powers
Last, but not least, was the Frog Song,
by Nettie and Paul Gunnion, of Wash
ington, and warmly encored. Rev.
White was as /" busy as a bee" in
a clover field, seeing that persons from
town and country were comfortably
seated and enjoying the treat so
hastily but admirably gotten up.
Yours, OBSERVER.

the top caved in and precipitated he1

No other person witnessed the acct

Miss Keller's cries brought relief and
she was extricatcd from her danger
Gus position in an exhausted condi-

said laughingly, and then the next minute
she could have bitten her tongue out, be-
cause Of the idle words. She flushed up
and rising hastily, went and bent over the

fer something, as an excuse for keeping
her tell-tale face hidden. She could feel.
without looking at him, that Tom Hick-
sons eyes were fixed on her.
'Those Roman chaps had an excellent

Archie Duff, with good natured intention
Of covering the girls embarrassment, which
was obvious enough to everyone present.

"And Hebe shall never beidlein Heaven"
murmured young Duff, as Belle came and
filled his glass for him.
Young Duff was looking at his friend
Clere with curiosity, and some secret indig-
nation. Why did he, the girls accepted
sutton, leave it to other men to make her
pretty speeches, and pay her compliments,
and so forth? He had accepted the situa-
ton, and was he not bound to fulfil his
part of the compact? 1t was true he was
attentive to her after fashion; he gathered
her flowers, he seated himself beside her at
meal times, he never helped himself to any
delicacy at table without first inviting her
to partake of it with him, he made point
Of asking her to play and sing, and was
assiduous in praising her performances,

said Mary Lambert, contentedly. She was
sitting nestled close to her husband, who
was protecting her as well as hecould with
a big umbrella.

to get some shelter, " said he.
"Belle's all right. Mr.. Clere is looking
after her, replied his wife, complacentIy.
She was thinking the shower was rather a
pleasant shower than otherwise. fit had
done nothing else, it had given the afianced
couple the chance Of a tete-a-tete.

Then the wind veered round suddenly, and
carried the words in the opposite direction.
The wind was blowing hurricane by
now. The sky was of leaden hue. The
angry clouds that had been rolling up
from the horizon had spread over the entire
face Of the heavens, and there was every
immediate prospect Of soaking wet after
noon and evening
"It's no use staying here any longer
This rain means to keep on, said Algy, at
last; "we'd better get home before The
roads become impassible"
But it was not an easy matter by any
manner Of means, that getting home.
Poor Mrs. LamberFs equanimity quite
forsook her. She complained bitterly be-
cause her umbrella had to be lowered on
account of the wind. She was half inclined
to be cross with Belle, because the girl
laughed and made joke Of the whole
affair, as though she rather enjoyed splash
ing about in the rain.
"Just look at Belle" Algy said to his
wife, soto voce; @She looks all the better
for this bufeting about in the wind and
the rain. Her cheeks are as red AZ your
bonnet strings"
