Beauty About Thee.

Beauty about thee! At the sunset hour,
When cloud and sky make wonders in the west;
Morning in springtime; the pale blue fragile
flower;
The midnight sky in starry raiment dressed;
The wind-tossed woods the wave tossed sea:
Beauty about thee, eternallyI
Beauty about thee Lo! the moments glory
Forever fading mocks thy helpless art.
The star and flower have thrilled thee with a
story
The meagre speech is powerless to impart;
Unseized, untold. forever free;
Beauty about thee, eternally!

NEW YORK, Dec. 27. - Sixteen ship
wrecked seamen landed here to-day from the
steamer Elbruz, the captain and crew of 10
men of the American fishing schooner Oracle
c. Young, wrecked at sea early this month.
The Oracle C. Young sailed from Glouces-
ter, Mass, December 1. She was bound for
the Newfoundland Banks after halibut.
Immediately after leaving port she en-
countered severe weather, and on the fourth
day out sprung Il leak. The men were set to
work at the pumps, but the storm increased
and still further opened the seams in the
vessel. Her foremast was carried away, and
this mishap left the schooner at the mercy
of the seas. Great waves washed over the
craft and swept her decks. The air was Bit
ter cold, and the water froze as soon as it
struck the decks. This impeded the work of
the men, many of whom were almost frozen,
and had to abandon the pumps. Only about
halt the crew were able to work, and their
combined efforts could not prevent the water
from gaining in the hold.
Captain kenny Mcpherson, the COM
mander, decided to abandon the vessel at
the first favorable opportunity. The crew
were kept at work day and night. A week
elapsed and it was evident the schooner was
sinking. The men prepared to abandon the
vessel on the 18th, when smoke was seen on
the horizon,,to the east. Signals of distress
were run up on the main masthead and in
two hours the Elbruz hore down on the sink
ing vessel and lay-to for the purpose OF res
cuing the crew. The schooner was provided
with seven dories, and in these the 16 men
put off to the rescuing steamer. ALI these
small boats were halt full of water before
they reached the ship, but all hands were
saved.

Men Discount Their Time Checks.
PORTLAND, Dec. 27.-The situation of
the discharged laborers from the Union Pa
ci6c Puget Sound extension is growing more
serious every day. At present there are
about 1000 in this city, and the number is
increasing hourly. Most of them are desti-
tute and are unable to get money on their
time checks, which were due December &c.
A large number are being fed and lodged by
the city.
Owing 10 the inability of j. H. Smith &
Co., who had the contract to secure money
from the Ucion Pacific, the men are being
put off from day to day, and as the money is
not yet forthcoming it is difficult to foresee
the outcome, as the men are growing des-
perate. Some are sore pressed and are dis
counting the time checks at 80 per cent. J.
H. Smith is now at Omaha endeavoring to
secure money frouI the Union Pacific Com
pany. Upon his arrival there he telegraphed
that the company had promised him $500, 900
this week, and on this assurance the men
have been quieted.

cerning the AT DIVINE

The second annual meeting of the Penn
sylvania State Music Teachers Association
will convene at Philadelphia tomorrow,
with every prospect of afforting a most
pleasant and proitab bic experience to those
who are present, and OF further assuring the
permanent success of an organization calcu-
lated to benefit greatly all musical interests
throughout the Commonwealth.
A glance at the programme below given
will best show the scope and variety of the
work cut out for the young organization.
The absence OF an orchestra is no doubt, the
reason why no choral features are present,
and the absence of an orchestra is, of course,
due to the non-solution of the financial
problem which, in this connection, has been
SO perplexing to all like bodies. By next
year. let US hope, this problem will be
solved, at least in part.
Right here it is proper for THE DIS
PATCH, voicing the sentiment of musical
Piusburg, 10 extend cordial invitation to
the association 10 hold its next meeting in
the western metropolis of the State. Phila-
Gelphia having twice opened her bospitable
doors TO the musical folk of the State there
S no possible doubt that the third meeting
should come here.

An Acquisition in an Organ.
The Fourth Avenue Baptist Church, which
possesses one of the largest auditoriums in
the city, has contracted for new organ, to
cost altogether something over $4,000,
which will be one of the largest and most
complete instruments in the city. With
Mr.. Simeon Bissell just installed as director
of the large chorus choir, and Mr.. John Q.
Everson at the new organ, the music OF this
church bids fair to be worthy of its wealth
and standing.
The organ will be built by the Wirsching
house. and equipped with their patent wind.
chests A novelty for Pittsburg will be the
stentorphone stop (customarily placed on
the solo manual in four-manual organs) an
exceedingly powerful register on high wind
pressure, and very useful in leading large
bodies of singers. Besides the "A mechani-
cal movements, giving ample control over
all resources, the instrument will contain 80
speaking stops, distributed as follows:
