hither and thither as light footed and
helpful as half dozen household fairies
merged into one, while Mrs. Nisbett
stood regarding her with loving eye,
murmuring to herself:
well, well, It seems like It was the
Lords will to deny us of just what we
most want, but If l had a daughter l
could wish she was like Ida"
AS the old kitchen clock struck l Mrs.
Nisbett, looking from the window, gave
a little cry.
There he comes-there comes Joel,
and as live, there's the boy with him"
Ida ran into the bedroom.
When she returned, Mrs. Nisbett was
clasped in the arms of a tall, handsome
man of four or FIVE and twenty.
"Lida," said the proud matron, striv-
ing to disengage herself from the affec-
tionate clasp, this is my son Stephen,
and--why, what's the matter?'
For Stephen had dropped her hands
with an exclamation of surprise and
amazement, and Ida stood there glowing
crimson.
"Lida! Why, mother, this is sur
prise indeed that you have prepared for

old lady. well, that's a good un, when
I'm ten times as much surprised as you

scattered self-possession-'i means that

to be your wife?"
"She has given me her promise to that
effect, at least" said Stephen, looking
proudly down upon his lovely little
fancee.
"Well, if it don't beat all how queer
things do happen" said Mrs. Nisbett,
her face radiant And you've been liv-
in neighbor to me these six weeks and
never knowed it, Ida, why didn't
you tell me?"
Because | never dreamed that Ste

lover, was anything 10 Mrs. Nisbett, ="
said Ida laughing.
"There It's. nowv calculated the farm

only my nephew, adopted when his par
ents died, twenty good years ago? We've
always called him son, and he's always
been a son to us. But Ida didn't know.
Old woman, what do you say to Ste

Mrs. Nisbett casped Ida to her
heart.

"We're old and we're alone, and some

child. So when your Aunt Constance

Mrs. Nisbett paused abruptly and burst
into tears.

Ida let the leaves drop down on the
floor as she sprang up and threw both
arms round the old woman's neck.
"Oh, Mrs. Nisbett," she whispered
softly, "you are so very, very kind Be-

Mrs. Nisbett listened intently. Lida

Ida paused her cheeks glowing

from the frosty outer world.
'I'll tell you by and by" whispered
Ida as she went back to her work.
"Joel'll go out again arter awhile,

Rendered in Dwight Place Congrega-
 tional Church.
 Last evening in Dwight Place Congre- gational church the regular quartet choir, assisted by the choral society, gave Stainers "Crucifxion," in accord ance with a custom which has been ob- served for several years past at this church shortly before Eastertide. The programme was conducted by Seymour Spier. Fichtl's orchestra accompanied the singers as it did at the Christmas praise service, and the work of the Vo- calists and instrumentalists last even- ing elicited many words of praise. The service was largely attended, the seat ing capacity of the church being taxed to it's utmost.
 The cantata last evening was given special interest and impressiveness by the excellent rendition of solos by Messrs. Spier, tenor, and Avis, bass; also by the duet by these two singers Others who took part were as follows:
 Sopranos-Mrs. Fiske, Mrs. Bradley Mrs. Booth, Mrs. Hitchcock, Mrs Leighton, Miss Beach, Miss Kilborn Miss Kelley, Miss Griffin, Miss Mercer Miss Judson, Miss Pope, Miss Sanford Miss Mix, Miss Demster.
 Altos-Mrs. Mix, Miss Watson, Miss Stuart. Miss Norman, Miss Morrow Miss Holbrook, Miss Preudhomme, Miss Platt.
 Tenors-Mr. Hitchcock, MT. Mitchell MT. Morton, MT. Sanford, MT. Hubbell
 Bassos-Mr. Bronson, MT. Featon, MT Stevens, MT. Anderson, MT. Bailey, MT Steele, MT. somers.
 Next Sunday evening will be present. ed in Dwight Place church the cantata Resurrection" by Bullard. This will be the first presentation of this piece in this city, and another large congrega- tion will undoubtedly attend the service
 Choirmaster Spier is planning an ex- cellent programme of music for Easter Sunday. The music will be especially appropriate to the occasion. The vocal ists will be assisted by Fichtl's orches- tra, and also by string orchestra.

house clubs for any innocent amuse- ment; decent and interesting books could be secured for reading clubs, will lage improvement societies formed, and a pride in pretty, cheerful surround ings could be encouraged; the lads of the village could be helped to form gymnastic clubs, and some rallying point provided for them other than the stove in the village store, or the sa- loon. The church (always to be kept open) should be the Lords House, to be beautified and held sacred-a sym bol never by any chance vulgarized by oyster parties" or dramatic enter tainments." Here any tired soul could escape the confusion and publicity of the family, and find at any time "a pleasant place to stop and pray" and here, without a clergyman, hymns could be sung and children taught, and simple services held. All the time these useful women would be quietly influ- encing whole families by their helpful cheerful Christian lives.
 It is not sermonizing that is needed, but house-to-house personal influence. By and by the young people Will De drawn to church by their respect and liking for their deaconess. They will go with her. The farmers will believe in a religion which brings her comforting care into their families in times of trouble; and the young men will feel the power of her pure womanhood.
 When the ordinary weekly sermon and the old dull routine are without in- spiration, and church squabbles are the only live things in the village church, and the interest of the community cen- ters in the village saloon, let us try the experiment of the deaconesses. They shall lend hand in our troubles and pleasures They shall be our con- fidants, our intimate personal friends. And slowly, the shabby, squabbling immoral, vulgar little village may be transformed perhaps into something that is lovely and of good report

 It was proven that Mir. Patton testified ill the presence of MT.

for few moments. His wife was
