SiiiiiifiilU triitlliuM,
MysteriousOrganist.
Years ago at n grand old cathedral ocr
Jooking tho Khino, there appeared a mj uteri
ous organist. Tho great composer who had
piayeu me organ so long hud suddenly died,
and every pertou from tho peasant to the king
was wondering who could bo lound to fill iim
place. One bncht Sabbath moiniiitf, as the
' aoxton ciltercd tho church, ho saw a stranger
litting at tho cinpu shrouded oigan. J0 u,,
a tall, graceful mm, with n pile but etnkim?
Jy. handsome face, groit bhek, in. lancholy
eyes and hair like a raven for gloss and coloi,
weeping in dark waves oir his shoulders!
Ha did not seem to notice tho soxton, but
wont to playing; and suUi music as ho drew
forth frou tho instrument no word can do
acribo. Tho astonishccT listener dec'nrul th it
tho organ seemed to havo giown hiinmii-that
it wailed and sighed ami cl.mored. When the
music at length ceastd, tiro sexton hastened
to the stronger and mid:
"l'inv, who are j on, bii?"
"Do not ask' my name," replied ho; "I have
heard that nu aio in want of an organist, and
havo comu hero ou trial."
"You'll bo siuo to gtt tho place." excb,i.,l
thosoxton. "Why, jon surpass him that's
ucau nun gone.
"No, no-yon overrate mo," resinned the
stranger, with'a sail smile; and then, as ifdis
jnollnul to cum creation, ho turned horn old
Hans and Uyan to play again. Ami now tho
musio changed fiom a sonouful ttiam to a
grand out pean.and the lujsteruius organist
"looking upward full of grace,
1 rayed, till from a happy paco
