THK CAB1X IN THE CLEARING.
Backward gazing through the shadows.
As the evening fades away,
I perceive the little footrrlntt
Where the morning sunlight lay
Warm and mellow, on the pathway
Leadiogtotheopen door
Of the cabin la the clearing.
Where my tool reclines once more.
O ! thit cabin In the clearing.
Where my Mary came a bride,
W here our children grew to love us.
Where oar little Robbie died.
Still in memory blooms the red bad
By the doorway, and tbe breeza
Ting'es with the spicewood' odor
And the catbird's melodlef .
And I mind the floor of puncheons,
Rudely laid cn J-it and kill.
Aud the flie place shaped ana beaten
From tbe red clay on the bill;
With the chimney standing; ouulde.
Like a blind men asking alms,
Made cf nicks and clay and fashioned
- bj the builder's ready palms.
Half way up the floe wide throated
Doe the hickory crosstree rest.
Whence depend tne pot and kettle,
v h re tbe great fire blazen best.
OJIfcuiell tbe savory Tegison,
Eear he hominy tlmmer low,
A my Mary stirs ibe embers
That wtre ashes long ago.
Once again I hurry homeward.
When tbe dv ot toil is o'er.
Aud mv heart leaps up In gladnecs
For iu this wide-open door
Mary, in her homespun habit
w ith her hand above her eyes.
Gazes a'l around tbe clearing.
'I ill my coming form the spies.
'lis for her I am a hunter,
And tbe fleet deer's sudden bound
Tells how KWift and sure my aim is.
Ere bis life-tide djes the ground;
TIk for ber I am an sngler.
And the poited beauties woo
Ficm their paradise of waters,
Kre tbe sun has cried the dew.
And the wild rose a id the tlnebell
That I pluck with gentle care.
Ar for ber who ruitsthe cabiti
Mary, of the raven hair;
Tii for her I unite the lorest
Day by dav with myriad blows:
'Tis for ber the cornstalk tassels
Ana the golden pumpkin grows.
Of en, wlndlcg through the woodlands,
Neighbors ct me wita snug and shout,
Ewer for a day of pleasure
Where the latch ker hacgeth out.
And with rady hands assist ns
At our labor?, while tbe reft
Of our conversation brightens.
Till tbe sun goes down the west.
Aye, and once again I see them.
Ou a sad. tweet summer day.
When the rot in on tbe maple
Seems to king his soul away:
Aud tne clearing swims around me
In a tangled dream of woe.
And mv weepicg Miry whispers:
"Tell me why he had to go?"
'Why he had to go?" O, Heaveu !
Did God want our little boy !"
'Us the old anauwered question
t'enkering in the heart of j ;y.
Aud Fubduing many a pleasure.
As I see those friends of old,
niding teuderly our darling
Iu the forest's virgin moid.
Now that cabin In the clearing
Is but dust, blown here and there.
Where the palpitating engines
Breathe their darknets on tbe air:
Where my forests towered in beauty.
Now a smrking village stands.
And the rows of factories clus er.
Grimly on my fertile lands.
Scireely room enough is left me
For this double, clustering rove,
W here the baby and its mother
Hide by side in earth repose;
Soon the last fond trace will vanish
Which proclaims that they have been:
But no matter heaven's gateway
Opened wide to let them in.
Yet with Mary oft I licet-r
Where tbe well-sweep planteth low.
Planning over ail our labors.
When t plant and what to sow.
How to ride to Sunday meeting
- FLxiir g on a proper day.
For the rolling and the quilting.
And the young folks' evening play.
E'ghty, and a memory only !"
Is that what yon speak of me!
Weil, tbe memory is a bleseing.
And its pictures fair to see;
While the fairest and the tweetetl
Lingers with thtevermire
'Tin tne cabin iu the clearing
And my Mary at the daor.
B. 8. Farker
THE REV. ABIEL.
"These practices are so fatiguing; I
Bee no use iu all this drilling; I'm quite
certain of my part, and, of course, it's
the only one with any difficult passages
in it that is, extremely difficult.
And Miss Chief Soprano slightly
turned ber head and glanced toward the
study door. Immediately a chorus of
voices was heard, and a chorus of eyes
seemed to be similarly attracted by the
aforesaid study door. The contralto
elevated her little pink nose, which
would be pink in spite of all the pearl
powder in the world, as she replied
'I'm sure that run in the Te Deum is
much more difficult than tbose simple
trills that give you so much trouble.
"Well, said 2dr. .Basso, "1 ve prac
ticed my part lor two weeks hand-run
ning and I'm sure I don't know it any
better new than when I began.
But then he was a married man and
nobody paid any attention to what he
said. What business have married peo
pie in church choirs anyway?
Next, the 'high-pitched voice of the
conceited tennr piped out:
"It is generally conceded that the
more difficult parts belong to the tenor
and Boprano; however, the tenor in the
new anthem is beyond all perad venture
the more difficult as to execution as well
as tbe more artistic as to effect."
To which speech there was no reply.
as the tenor's voice had enjoyed the
superior advantages of a year's culti
vation in the city, while the rest of the
singers had not . gotten beyond a few
quarters' lessons at the winter singing
school.
But the study door opens, and imme
diately several pairs of feminine eyes
brighten a id several feminine faces put
on their most bewitching smile; for be it
known to all concerned, tht the opening
of the study door announced the coming
forth of the rector, and furthermore that
the rector was a handsome, rich, unmar
ried man, and last and most important
of all.it was decided that the rector must
take to himself a wife an opinion in
which the party most concerned heartily
concurred. But then came the vexed
question, whont to marry. The new
brick rectory was all paid for, and the
large sitting-room with the bay window
was very plainly meant for a sewing
society room. ' But then the first time
the society met there, it got no farther
than the front porch, and who ever heard
of a sewing society holding forth on a
porch and a front porch at that! No,
that secret and august body, in whose
keeping repose the affairs of the entire
town, must hold meetings with closed
doors. But the unsnrmountable diffi
culty in the case was that the doors were
already closed and the key twenty miles
away, in the pocket of the Rev. Abiel.
The Rev. Abiel was so forgetful. So an
indignation meeting was held and it was
decided without a dissenting voice that
the Rev. Abiel must marry, and, as I
stated above, tha one question now was,
"Who?" And as the Rev. Abiel emerged
from the study door it is not to be won
dered at that he was immediately beset.
It was very plain that the rector's choice
must fall on one of the choir, as that
body presented the elite of Mossbank
society. The playful element was repre
sented by the contralto, who by virtue
of being the youngest and smallest of the
group, was naturally expected to do the
sportive. She was such a child, his
dar child was quite sure the .ctor
needed some one to cheer him up, to
lighten the heavy cares of his
offloe with a joyous, cheery -disposi-
Hon. And. too. she served as an exoel
lent foil to the beauty and dignity of
Miss Chief Soprano, who had been Leard
to say that the position of rector's wife
was one which should be filled by a wo
man fitted by eduoation and breeding to
preside with graceand dignity insoexalted
a sphere; but that, alasl in this flippant
age, where oonld one look for such a rare
combination of charms! And here she
elavated her eyebrows and with a shake
of the head leaned back in an attitude of
quiet grace and dignity, meant to chal
lenge the admiration of all hearers. The
rest of the soprano and alto had their
oharms and oountercharms, which they
failed not to display to the best possible
advantage; but the chief soprano and the
little contralto were generally supposed
to be "considerable ahead." I must not
forget to meution the organist, although
she didn't count; just a quiet, unobtru
sive little body, who played for church
and Sunday school and taught the infant
class, and who was always in her place,
too. Then she was secretary of the sew
ing society and on the sick committee,
and if the truth must be told the littlo
organist was the real head and body of
this committee, as she was the ouly one
always ready to sit up with a sick mem
ber. But then, as she made no fuss
about what she did, of course nobody
else did. And as she did not seem to
think she deserved any special praise,
nobody gave it her, for "the world helps
those who help themselves" is true in a
great many ways.,
So when the idol advanced toward the
choir, t he contralto i mediately assumed
ber role, and with a hop, skip and jump
went to meet him. She playfully took
his arm and began chatting away at a
great rate. The chief soprano posed
gracefully, and when the rector reached
her, exchanged with him a dignified
greeting. The lesser lights giggled and
acted as lesser lights usually do. The
little organist about whose rank in the no
ble army of "setting for the rector" no
body troubled himself, glanced up shyly
as tne rector extended nis nana, lie
then went over to the reading desk to
mark the lessons for the next day, first
giving tne number 01 tne nymn to oe
sum the next Sunday.
"Oh! dear me; must we sing that?
We'll have to practice it over and we
want to get through early to-night. I
never will get ready for Easter," and the
speaker pouted in so artless a manner.
And so the practice went on, the so
prano putting a little piece of dignity
into each trill and most gracefully pro
longing her last note about a minute af
ter every other voce was still.
"Oh, my gracious, I'm so tired just
sung out! Let's stop and rest awhile.
I've been at work so hard to-day, making
the shirring for the cutest Easter bonnet
you ever did see. I declare I've pricked
my angers sore with that horrid needle
Just see," continued she, holding up her
rosy finger towards the reverend gentle
man. "Aren't you sorry for me? We
poor girrs do have an awful hard time
trving to look uice. all for vou horrid
men, too!"
"Ah! if you ladies only knew how we
appreciate the results of vour labors,
am sure you would feel amply repaid,'
lisped the tenor, who was "sweet" on the
playful contralto. This nice speech
however, seemed all wasted on the little
lady, who looked un into the rector's face
for a reply, but this gentleman wa3 not
versed in the polite nothings of conver
sation.
"Well, for my part," said he, "I hope
that your music will so attract the con
gregation mat nooouy will nave any
thought for the matter of dress.
"Dear me," spoke up one of the lesser
lights as the rector turned to his book
"I have been nearly a week on a lovely
blue bilk, and I'm pure I hope every body
will notice it; that s what I got it for
"And," spoke up the contralto to the
chief eoprano, "I know you will have
something handsome for Easter. You
always do. And Miss Mantua told me
yesierday that vou were trying to fin
some one to make one of those new style
dolmans.
xes, the young lady addressed re
plied, "I sent to St. Louis for a pattern,
and 1 can t hnd any one to make it for
me; but that is a matter of little conse
quence. I shall make it myself. I shal
consider it the duty of every woman to
be able thoroughly to perform every
detal pertaining to a woman s posi
tion."
"AM tnougnt tne rector, "there is
a woman of good common sense. Just
the sort of mistress every house&should
possess.
Again the voice oi tne playful one is
heard:
"What are you going to have new,
Stella?"
I doubt if the low and rather short
"Nothing" was heard even by the ques
tioner. The rector heard it, however,
and he saw, too, as she hastily stooped
to replace a fallen book, a tear drop to
the floor.
"Poor little girl," he thought.
wonder it they are so poor; such a use
ful, good little body, too; it is astonish
ing how women's hearts do go out to
ward finery!" and he turned agaia to his
book, and the singers to their trills and
runs, and nobody knew of the heart-ache
of the organist.
"Thev 11 all look nice but me. and he
will think me uglier and moro insignifi
cant than ever before. I might just get
"new "hat, but then poor mother
couldn't have her new cushion, and she
wants it so much, and, besides, I have
just turned my cashmere Christmas and
it looks real nice." Then as the words
of the hymn they were practicing for the
morrow fell on her ear.
"Give me a calm a' d thankful heart.
From every murmur free."
"I ought to be ashamed of myself;
here I have the promise of two new mu
sic scholars to-day and instead of being
thankful oh, I am so ashamed of my
self !"
And the singers looked at each other
and smiled in surprise as tbe soft
voice of the little organist joined iu the
ast verse.
CHAPTER II.
It was Easter morning. The good
people, the bad people, and the indiffer
ent people of Mossbank were hurrying
along in response to the invitation of
the bells. The good people went to see
f everybody else were doing their duty.
he bad people went "just for the fun
of the thing," and the indifferent people
went because everybody else did.
Twice had the Rev. Abiel opened the
the study door; the first time was the
hour for beginning the service. Tlere
was the congregation. Oh! but where
was the choir? The organist was the
only member present of that important
factor of the day s celebration. The seo
ond time was ten minutes after, when
the people were wondering why they
did not commence. This time the choir
was present with the exception of the
chief Boprano and contralto.
But the Rev. Abiel finally walked un
the'aisle to the pulpit. The church was
full and the opening anthem had been
well advertised, and htro, at the climax.
there was no opening anthem, owing to
the absence of those who were to render
it. The little organist did her part
bravely. lhree times did she play
through the voluntary without stopping.
The reotor began reading the opening
sentences. There was a flutter at the
door. Somebody turned his head; that
was ths signal for every head in the
church to be turned. The chief soprano,
her step a little more hurried than usual
with a slightly disturbed expression on
her face, and resplendent in the new
handsome silk dolman, walked up the
aisle to the choir, which was at one side
of the pulpit; the bugles and beads on
the new garments sparkled in the sun
light of that bright Easter morning. One
of the lesser lights nudged her neighbor
and whispered with a complacent smile,
under cover of her prayer book. "She
looks horrid!"
Just as th) sentences were finished
there was heard flutter number two, and
the playful contralto entered, tho pink
mass of Mowers and lace on her head
only rivalled by the color of her nose,
and as she tripped up the aisle she be
came the center on which all eyes were
fixed this only serving to make her
more flurried in manner and florid a to
nose. And when they stood up to begin
the second anthem the whispered, "How
unbecoming pink is to you, did not
serve to quiet the troubled spirits of the
owner of the pink bonnet, so she "lost
ber bearings" and began in the wrong
place, which oonfused the others and
would have caused a complete break
down if tbe organist had not, with all
the power she could bring to bear on her
instrument, covered it over with an
interlude that was not in the notes. And
so it was all through the services. There
was, very evidently, a disturbing ele
ment somewhere about the choir. Even
the Rev. Abiel could not fail to perceive
that, and as he watched the performers
he noticed but one bright, happy face;
but one face among the young girls of
that choir that seemed in perfect liar
mony with the beautiful Easter tide and
that was the face of the little organist.
The Rev. Abiel wondered why it was
that he had never before noticed what a
sweet expression Miss Stella wore,'
"and," thinks he, "how simple and
fresh she looks." The only change iu
her dress was a bunch of violets at her
throat, and as the reverend gentleman
looked the face became sweeter and he
gave a start as he realized where he was
aud where his thoughts were.
But the service is over. The congre
gation has dispersed and the singers are
standing in a group. The rector joined
them just in time to hear, "I don't know
what is wrong about it; I made it ex
actly by the pattern," and to see one" of
the others examining the silk dolman to
find, if possible, the defect.
Now tbe Rev. Abiel had been the only
boy in a family of seven children, and it
is highly probable had gained an insight
into feminine "fixins." He saw at a
glance what was the matter, and some
how he seemed to have lost his awe for
the wearer of the garment, for he said:
"You have forgotten to press your
seams, Miss Roena," and turned to speak
to some one else, and did not see the
sudden flush of anger and mortification
which overspread the usually serene
face of the chief soprano.
"Miss Stella" how she started at .the
sound of his voice, so low and right in
her ear "Will you let me C$11 for you
to-night and walk home with you after
service?" and the sweet blue eyes of the
shy little organist drooped beneath the
earnest brown ones so intently regarding
her, and she gave a happy smile and for
got to answer him. And the contralto,
who has been watching this by-play and
knows the game is up, smiles most tend
erly on the tenor, thereby raising him
from the depths into which her fro us
of the last six months have cast him.
It was late that night when Stella
came and laid her head on her mother's
lap.
"Mother, dear, I cannot take the two
music scholars, after all."
"Oh, my daughter! I feared it was too
good to be true. There's nothing on this
side of the grave for the poor music
teacher and her invalid mother but sor
row and disappointment."
"Mother we won't live in the cottage
any longer."
"Squire Hunter has raised the rent?
I knew it! I've been expecting it al
winter; but Why Stella what is the
matter? You look as if it were good news
instead of the death-blow to me. And
the speaker was interrupted by a fit of
coughing that told a pitiful tale.
"Oh! mother, dear, this has been
oeauuiui .caster, a iov nas risen above
all the sorrow and turned it into glad
ness. I can't take the two bchtlars, be
cause I ve promised to take a big one
and he won t let me have any others, and
we must give up the cottage, because we
are going up to the ney rectory to live
Jim and me, mother, and somebody
else.
And the shining, glad eyes told the
rest of the story; and a prayer of grati
tude went up from tbe weary heart of the
sufferer.

in preparing for a grand exhibit can't

Ornaments for Tombs:
Greek antiquity had evaded death and
neglected the dead; a garland ot msen
ads and faunds among ivy leaves, a bat
tle of Amazons or centaus; in the late
semi Christian. Platonic days, some Or
phic emblem or genius; at most.' as in
the exquisite tombs of the Keramikos of
Athens, a figure, a youth on a prancing
steed, like the Phidian monument of
Dexileus; a maiden draped and bearing
an urn; but neither the maiden or youth
is the inmate of the tomb; they are only
types, living types, no portraits. Nay,
even where antiquity shows us Death or
Hermes.gently leading away the beloved,
the spirit, the manes, the dead one, is
unindividual. "Sarkophagen u. Urnen
bekranzte der Heide mitt Loben," said
Goethe; bnt it was the life everlasting
because it was typical, the life not which
had been relinquished by the one buried
there, but the life which danced on, for
getful, round hie ashes. The Romans,
on the contrary, graver and more reten
tive folk than the Greek, as well as more
domestic, less coffee-house living, ap
pear to have inherited from the Etrus
cans a desire to preserve the effegy of
the dead, a desire unknown to the
Greeks. But the Etrusco-Roman mon
uments, where husband and wife stare
orth togaed and stolaed.half reduced to
k conventional crop-headedness, grim
and Btiff as if sitting unwillingly for
heir portrait, or reclining on their far-
cophagus lid, neither dead nor asleep,
nor yet alive and awake, but with hier
atic mummy stire, have H.tle of sosthe'ij
or sympathetic value. The early lienais
sance, then, first bethought it of repre
senting the real individual in the real
death slumber. And I question whe her
anything more fitting to be placed n a
tomb than an effigy of the dead as we
saw them when the coffin lid is closed
down, as we would have given our all to
see them but for one little moment
1
longer, as they continue to exist for 'our
fancy with the grave; for to any but mor
mid feelings tbe loved one can never
suffer decay. Whereas a portrait of the
man in life, as the throning popes in
St. Peter's, seems heartless and derisive;
such monuments striking us as conceived
and ordered by the inmates when alive,
like Michel Angelo's Pope Julius, and
Browning's Bishop, who was so preoc
oupied about his tomb in St. Praxed's
Church. The Renaissance, the late Mid
dle Ages, felt better than this. On the
extreme pinnacle, high on the roof, they
might indeed place against the russet
brick or the blue skye, amid the hum of
life and the movement of the air, the
living man, like the Scaligers.the mailed
knight on his charger, lance in rest; but
in the church .below, under the funereal
jail, they, could place only the body
such as it may have lain on the bier.
Cornhill Magazine.
A Pi&tol and a Moral.
Senator Haile, of Springfield, Mass.,
offered to the members of the military
committee of the legislature a gold
mounted revolver as a prize to the best
marksman. The contest took place at
the state camp ground at Farmingham,
and Col. Bancroft, of the house, was the
winner. It ay not have occurred to
Mr. Haile that the revolver has been un
commonly busy of late, and that it is not
desirable to encourage the possession or
use of that mischievous weapon. It is
quite possible that Col. Bancroft may be
trusted not to make an improper use of
Mr. Haile's gift, but the fact that it was
given shows that it is regarded as a valu
able possession, and tends to stimulate
the purchase of pistols by persons who
have no more need of them than Col.
Bancroft has. and are much more likely
to do mischief with them. In such a
community as this not one man in a
thousand has any business with a re
volver; it can be used for no legitimate
purpose. It is the weapon of assassina
tion, or of accidental homicide. Every
day's dispatches tell of its deadly work in
the hands of a ruffian, a lunatic or a fool,
and not once a year do we hear of its do
ing any good. Whoever can do any
thing to make tho carrying or owning of
a revolver discreditable will be a public
benefactor. Woroester Spy.
"They're Swearing Yet."
An eminent divine from one of our in
land districts, having a very lively hor
ror of the dangers of the sea, took pas
sage on board of an ocean steamer, with
a particular recommendation to the care
of the captain. On the fist day out, the
wind being fresh and the sea lively, the
parson became quite alarmed, and spoke
to the captain, who smilingly taking him
by the arm, led him to the forecastle
scuttle, and told him to look down.
When he heard the men talking very
roughly to each other, and swearing and
damning one another's eyes and limbs,
ha was struck with horror, and the cap
tain said to him: "Do you suppose those
men would use that kind of language if
they thought there was any -danger?"
A few days after jsevere and dangerous
storm was encountered, and the parson
was observed by tho captain making his
way with great difficulty to the forecas
tle scuttle. He immediately came back,
muttering to himself, "Thank God,
they're swearing yet."
There Was Something the Matter with
Him.
a
A young man wno possessed a poor
voice, but who firmly and steadfastly be
lieved that he had in him the miking of
a first-class tenor, engaged a teacher to
give him music lessons. When asked
how he liked his teacher, his reply was
a good master, but he was altogether too
religious for him.
"How too religious?"
"Why, while I am practicing he walks
up and down the room wringing his
hands and praying."
"What is his prayer? What does 'he
pray about?"'
"I can't exactly say, but yesterday I
caught the woids, 'Heavenly Father!
how long must I endure this?' There
was doubtless something the matter with
him. But he has not given me his con
fidence about his troubles."
Mrs. Katherine Chase, for so she now
sign9 herself, having finally acted upon
the permission of the courts and the ad
vice of her counsel to drop the name ' of
the man who has tried so persistently to
iojure her, is living quietly at her
father's old home, Edgwood, busy with
tho care and instruction of her children.
