A Now England Girl who 'Ll1Eed to G
to MOottn0.v

A Now England Girl who Liked TO Go
to Msctin1."
Il liked to 60 to meeting writes
Miss Larcom. In her charming narrative
OF "A New England airlhood" She
was child, but going to meeting
sometimes implied wearing new bon
net and her best white dress and mus
lin ''vandyke," fact which made her
willing to stand up through the long
prayer" and sit still through the ninth
lies and ''tenthlies'' and ''finallies" Of
the sermon.
She seldom remembered any thing
that the preacher said, except now and
then some word which sounded we'll
such as ''dispensations," .'decrees."
Ordinances" covenants" Not under
standing the long words by which he
tried to explain the Bible. she fell into
the habit OF taking refuge in the hymn
book, and often learned two or three
hymns in Sunday forenoon or after
noon.
She soon discovered that there was
difference in the hymns, and learned
only such as she liked. A melodioIs
echo, or sonorous ring, or the hint OF
picture, or some sacred suggestion
caused her to prefer certain hymns to
others Yet she liked some of these
others because she misunderstood them
and could make free version as she
murmured them over.
One Of her favorites began with tho
words:
Come. humble sinner, In whose breast
thousand thoughts rcyolve.
She had no idea OF its meaning. but
made up little story out Of 1t, with
herself IS the heroine. She did not
know that the last line OF the second
stanza was bad grammar:
I'll xo to Jesus, though my sin
Hath like mountain rose.
but thought that the ''sin" was some.
thing pretty. that looked like amount
ain rose" She had never seen mount
aims, but took it for granted that rose
on mountain must be prettier than
house. She, the heroine, would pluck
that rose, and carry it up the mountain
side into the temple where the King sat,
and would give It to Him; and then He
would touch her with His scepter. and
let her through into . garden full Of
flowers.
Miss Larcom's childhood was passed
in the country, and therefore she loved
hymns which suggested flowers trees,
skies and stars, such as:
"There everlasting spring abiaes
And never witherinr fascrs.''
When she repeated that hymn, size
understood 1t to mean that the anemones
and violets-the short-lived children Of
the shivering New England spring
would bloom on through the cIoudless,
endless year OF the heavenly land.
She lived near the ocean. and when
the salt wind came through the open
door as the choir sang of Seas OF heav-
emily rest" she, wondering how a world
could be beautiful where There was
no more sea-" concluded that the hymn
and the text could not contradict each
other, and that something like sea
must be in Heaven.
The child had u poets imagination.
While grooming over

she had the feeling o: being rocked in q
boat on . beautiful ocean, from whose
far-off shores the sunrise beckoned.-

Congressman Lodges argument to

OF the sort on record. He goes into
figures to show that the voters Of the
United States could not be coerced un-

are not regular soldiers enough in the
country to furnish sufficient detail to
overawe electors at every polling place.
But what's the matter, Mr.. Lodge,
