A SHAKER SETTLEMENT.
Tho Prosperous Society nt Canter
bury, II.
An elderly woman, with fmo fca
nircs, a fresh complexion, gray hair,
nd a sweet voice, sat beside a young
man on a train from Boston which ar
rived in New York a few da3s ago.
They were chatting, and a magazine
irticle on the Moravian settlement in
Pennsylvania introduced tho subject of
;hc Canterbury Shakers.
"When I visited the Canterbury sct
:lemcnt in New Hampshire a little over
1 year ago," said the lad, "I found
;hrco families, who live and aro gov
jrned separately. They worship in ono
jhurch in summer, but in winter for
:onvcnicnco, occupy hulls in their sepa
rate buildings. The family, I visited
was tho lirst or 'church family.' My
daughter was with me.
"We arrived in tho evening at tho
society's ollic?. A chrccful-looking
woman, who we afterward learned was
Sister Elizabeth, opened tho door wido
:o our rather timid knock. She wel
;omcd us kindly to a sitting-rodbi nail
bade us bo at home. Her oostumo was
like that of all of the women. A gray
pongc3 gown, cut with a plain round
waist, loosely fitted her figure. Tho
full skirt was plaited in small uniform
iilt plaits. A largo white handkerchief
tvas folded about her neck and across
icr breast in some wonderfully pretty
way, which I could never afterward im
itate. A close little cap of lace, like a
milliner's bonnet frame, covered her
aloud hair, which was combed straight
oack and fastened in a ilat knot behind,
flic Shaker costume, though ugly in it
self, made Sister Elizabeth look very
sweet. It just suited her quiet eyes,
acr gentle, smiling mouth and reposed
manner.
"The Shaker women wear a hoop of
some contrivanco which extends tho
skirt with a straight, gradual slope
from waist to hem. It gives them a
stately look. The women, with rare
exceptions, aro thin and pale, with a
sober and sometimes severo counte
aance. Wo saw no plump, happy faces.
Even tho children look old and staid,
and speak with a something which
sets them apart .from one's sympathy.
"I spoke of tho women first, becauso
they interested mo most, and besides
they outnumber tho men fivo to one.
They aro remarkably refined and in
tellectual for their class. Tho men,
with the exception of tho ciders and a
few others, are inferior to the sifters in
all respects. They are, hawevor, ex
tremely kind and courteous to the
women. The sisters look after their
wants with motherly care, each of the
elder sisters having charge of tho
clothes and general well-being of ono
or two brothers.
"The Shaker settlement is very pros
perous in a worldly sense, lucre tiro
various buildings belonging to tho soci
etyhomes, a school-house, a work
shop for tho men, ami also ono for tho
women and another for tho children.
There aro a printing-office, an infirmary
presided over b' an elder sister, and
containing a full equipment of drugs
and medicines.
"Of course, tho main support of tho
colony and its income is from the farm,
which is large and under a high state
of cultivation. It is well stocked with
horses and cattle, but they do not raiso
either. Pigs tlioro aro none, and pork
is prohibited as unclean food. Somo of
the horses aro lino stock.
"Tho houso in which wo wcro enter
taincd belonged to the first family. It
was large and square. Tho halls and
staircases were on opposite sides of tho
house, ono for tho men and the other
for tho women. Tho floors woro of
dark wood, stained and polished. The
doors and castings wero stained a pecu
liar yellow throughout. Nothing poor
or mean was used iu eitiior the furniture
or decorations. Everything was simple.
In our room large; handsome rugs of
soft wool, made by the Shakers, lay upon
tho floor. Thoy resembled Smyrna
rugs, in opposite corners wcro two
white beds, and In another corner was
a little cast-iron, wood-burning stove,
plain and smooth. In it a lire crackled
cheerfully. Theso stoves aro in every
room. The curtains in all tho houses
wero most dainty and novel, and why
thoy aro not xised olsowhero for there
a'Sthetical valtio is strange. Thoy wcro
of whito linen, suspended by brass rings
on a briirht brass rod. Tho curtains
wcro starched stifT, and whero every
ring was sewed a creaso was ironed
from top to bottom. When drawn
back thoy formed a flat mass of folds
and were tied high up at the side of tho
sido, small-pancd windows by a brass
fixturo like a shepherd's crook. When
tho curtains wero down each sido look
ed like a half-open fan.
"A tall, old-fashioned clock stood at
tho head of each staircase. Tho clocks
aro as old as the houso itself ono hun
dred years. Meals arc 6crvcd to guests
in a room and at a table by themselves.
This hardly seemed hospitable, but
Sister Elizabeth explained that tho
Shakers always ate in perfect silence.
Tho brothers and sisters sit on opposite
sides of the table.
"The Shaker schools must be elegant,
but we did not visit them. Tho children
are well advanced in reading, arithme
tic, and particularly in music and sing
ing. Even the smaller children read
music readily. Tho proficiency in
music is owing to the fact that tho
teachers themselves have obtained tho
best possible instruction. Tho wliolo
family, at a time, when the farm work
is light, drill in singing for two half
hours daily. All sing, and it is remark
able how many lino voices there arc.
Their religious hymns and anthems
have been written entirely by Shakers,
and are therefore peculiar. Most of
tho hymns aro choral, and aro sung
with great spirit. Liko tho Moravian
sacred songs, there is much repetition
of words anil music.
"The Shakers show wonderful physi
cal strength when they sing. They sit
and sing, march and sing, and they
kneel and sing endless verses, the hist
note always as clear and strong as the
first. There is a ring of triumph and
victory about the hymns, though many
arc tender and sweet. Singing is in
deed worship with the Shaker. We at
tended Sunday service. In closing they
united in a hymn, repeating one verse
many times; Then, kneeling, still sing
ing, they repeat it yet again. At last,
eldsing their eyes as in prayer, thoy
sang it for tho last time very softly.
These wero tho words:
Watching and praying P llnd you,
Oh, my beloved, my own I
Trusting a Father's rich promise,
I will not leave you alone
I will not leave you alone.
Though through tho desert I lead,
Or apart In the mountain ye pray
For strength in the hour of need,
I never will answer ye nay
I never will answer ye nay.
"I shall never forget the looks of ex
altation in the palo faces of the women,
or the strange feeling of awe that came
over mo as I held' 1113 breath to catch
the last faint lines of the hymn.
"Tho service, which had consisted of
a short scripturo reading, a brief ad
dress by tho minister, Elder Honry, and
remarks by several members, was most
ly composed of singing. Elder Henry
Blinn had a frank and noble face, and
was the spiritual head of the family. lie
was very agreeable and cultivated, and
an entertaining conversationalist. Tho
women attended services bare-headed,
except for tho little lace cap, leaving
their bonnets outside. Thoy marched
in, and all remained standing through
tho first part of the service. After the
sermon they marched about in a sort of
figure, singing and waving, or 'shaking'
their hands with up-turned, palms.
Thero was nothing indecorous or undig
nified about the movement, as I had
anticipated thero would bo. Their
fervor seemed like true exaltation of
spirit and found truo expression in their
singing and in their faces." New York
Star.
Interesting Mortality Statistics.
The registrar general has latoly issu
ed an interesting report based on tho
census returns, in which lie gives an tic
count of tho varying mortality among
males engaged in different occupations;
though the comparision is necessarily
modified by the fact that somo industries
require greater physical strength than
others. Of till occupations, that of
clergyman enjoys by far tho lowest
death rate; it is most nearly approach
ed by the agricultural laborer, the mor
tality of the legal profession being set
at a much higher figure. Still higher
again is tho death rate of the medical
profession, which closely approximates
to that of slato and quarry men. The
mere fact of )mving to do with horses
and carriages, and the consequent lia
bility to exposure, docs not causo a
high rato of mortality among grooms
and privato coachmen. On tho other
hand, the mortality of men directly
connected in the liquor trado is said to
bo appalling, especially with regard to
inn and hotel servants. Chimney-sweeping
also seems to bo a very unhealthy
occupation, though tho death rate in
this branch is decreasing. In a very
largo proportion of occupations wo aro
told that of lato years tho death rato be
tween tho ages of 25 and -15 has oonsid
craby fallen, while it litis risen for those
between 15 and 65 years. Tho death
rates of coal minors aro stated to bo ex
ceedingly low. Tho rato is highest in
Monmouthshire; but even thero, if
deaths from accident aro omitted, tho
mortality of minors is below that of tho
general inalo population. Probably
they aro picked men. St. Jama's Ga
zelle.
Tho word "pulpit," like "ferry-boat" and
"outlandish women," occurs once la the bible.

HOW IT HAPPENED.
ISV MZ7.IK mtADLKY COKXISII.
Eflie Ford with tear-stained faco sat
amid a pile of formidable documents.
She was in deep mourning. Only ono
week before, she had laid away tho rc
j mains of her only surviving relative, in
tho shadow of the cross-crowned church
over the hill. It was a dismal prospect
for a girl of seventeen, and ono who
was absolutely ignorant of business.
The Fords had always lived in luxury.
But on his death-bed Mr. Ford called
Etlie to him; his articulation was imper
fect, but she caught: "Bad investments,
mortgage bonds. Poor! Poor
Barker will tell you." A few gasps and
it was over.
All day she had tried to bring order
out of chaos. At last with a sigh sho
tossed the golden fringes from her fore
head, as if oven their light weight was
nn oppression.
"It is usolcss," sho murmured, "I
can make nothing of anything." Then
suddenly she remembered, "Barker will
tell you." The memory camo with a
sigh of relief.
A servant answered the bell.
"Take this to Mr. Barker," she or
dered, "and wait for an answer."
It came in less than an hour.
"Mr. Barker will wait upon Miss
Ford at live." She glanced at tho
clock. It lacked five minutes of tho
hour.
Barker was a lawyer in the same town.
She had always known him, and sho re
membered that he had been with her
father frequently beforo sho went to
school for tho last time.
As ho entered, Etlio started. Sho had
thought of him as rather elderly, but
the man who stood beforo her was ex
tremely handsome, and porhaps doublo
her seventeen years.
"You aro kind, Mr. Barker, to re
spond so promptly. I did not know
what to do, to whom to turn. I can
mako nothing of papa's papers," sho
sighed wearily.
"Of course. What can you know
nbout law?" and together they turned to
the perplexing pile.
Barker ran his eye over papor after
paper, and a startled look came into his
eyes, keen lawyer's though thoy wcro.
"Aro these all?" he asked.
"I bclievo so. Papa kept his papers
in that secretary; and, Mr. Barker, I
know from what ho said, that thero
wero losses that I shall not bo very
well off. I do not mind," sho said
quickly, "other people aro poor, why
not I?"
"Some losses! Not as well off as sho
had been!" Ho regarded her queerly.
Poor child! Did sho know that houso,
lands, oven the costly furnituro was
covered with mortgages? No, and ho
determined she never should know. JIo
had no living relatives, and why should
ho not do for this helpless girl what ho
would havo liked somo ono to do for
sister or wifo of his?
"There will bo somothing left after
the debts aro paid, will thero not?"
Tho pretty pathetic cyo looked
squarely into his. Ho could not answer
this child-woman with ovnsion. "If
1 you will trust to me, Miss Ford, I will
. do my best. Your father trusted mo
'upon several occasions." (he did not
add, if that father had been guided by
his judgment his daughter would not
now bo penniless) "and I am confident
I know more of tho business than any
ono oiso." Ho waited her reply.
) "Oh, yes, and thank you, Mr.
! Barker." With a childish, trustful
motion, sho slipped her hand in his.
Barker's experience with women was
bounded by aggressive littlo widows,
and soul-terrifying Sally Brasses', and
thero was a queer littlo flutter in his
manner ns ho bid hor good-night.
I Mr. Ford's affairs wcro in a hopoless
tangle. Ruin was inevitable. Such
w.'is Barker's verdict after a reporusal
of tho Ford papers. "Poor littlo thing!"
ho whispered to himself, "sho shall
never know if I can help it."
Out of these deeds and mortgages
Bcoincd to start tho vision of a home
Eden, whero certain oyes looked into
his with bewildering love. Bah! What
have scntimontal love-dreams in com
mon with an austcro lawyer's ofllco?
A puzzled faco appeared at tho ofllco
of Barker & Hawkins ono day, not long
after.
"I am sorry to worry you; but see
here!" Efllo produced a slip of papor
which sho held toward him. It 6tatcd
tho cxistenco of n note, covering ten
thousand dollars, principal and interest,
held by ono Isaacs & Tobias, brokers in
a neighboring city.
"When did you rcccivo this?" He
avoided looking at tho captivating faco
as much as possible.
"To-day; and, Mr. Barker, It must bo
paid. Tho ton thousand you saved for
mo will just cover it. Will you do It for
me?"
"Yes, Miss Ford. It Is fortunate,
however, that I changed tho investment.
By tho now arrangement it has doubled.
You can pay this bill and retain the
samo amount."
"I can? How nice! I thought I
would have to go out as nurse maid or
something. Mr. Barker, when is your
client coming, who owns tho house? I
feel as if I wcro an intruder, some
how." "You aro not. Tho favor is to him.
I have his word for it."
She still lingered. "Mr. Barker, you
have been so kind and good. I wish I
could do something for you. If I nan
ever, will vou let me?"
"Yes, Miss Ford."
Etlie loft tho ollico with a queer dis
satisfied fooling at her heart. Down tho
drowsingstreet, filled with lazy shadows,
sho strolled. As sho turned a corner
sho collided with arakish-lookingyouth.
Ho recovered himself with an apology.
Thero was such a frank look in his
bright, bluo oyes, that Etlio took to him
at once. Ho accompanied hor as far as
tho gate, opened it, and, with a bow,
turned toward tho open plaza. "What
a very, very nice, accommodating boy,"
was Ellle's mental comment.
Sho mot tho "very nico boy" fre
quently after this. Ho was eighteen,
and quito idle. Ho obtained a conven
tional introduction Bert G Wynne was
his name and ho constituted himself
Eflio's veritable double. On tho street,
at church, Mr.,Bert Gwynno was always
present, and lie assumed tho attitude
with such an of-courso-it-is-ngreeablc-to-you
air, that Efllo bocaino incensed,
and determined to give him a piecj of
her mind.
Ono day ho commenced to poko fun nt
"Old Gabo Barker." Then tho dynatn
ito exploded.
"He's not old," sho flashed.
"Forty if ho's an hour," insisted tho
provoking.
"I say ho is not," declared tho frank
littlo lady. "Anyhow ho's not a pre
suming boy;" great acrimony iu tho
hist words.
"Ho'll mako you marry him after a
while; now you soo. Ho bought up
every ono of thoso notes," cried tho
badly-conducted.
"What notos? Tell mo!" Efllo was
aflame.
"Your father's. Who do you sup
poso paid tho debts? Why, Gabo Bar
ker, out of his own pocket. This very
houso belongs to him," continued ho.
"You are a wicked person, and I don't
belicvo ono word you say," burst out
Eilic.
"It isn't such a mighty thing after all.
I'd do over so much more, Eflie, if you'd
lot mo. But you called 1110 presuming,
and it mado 1110 angry."
"So you aro. I hate you, and I'm go
ing this minuto to Mr. Barker.!' Sho
flung on her hat.
"I wouldn't. Lot it nlono. Ho's
well tiblo to do it if ho wishes." Bert
thought ho had never seen Efllo so de
sirable, as with that 'angry pout and tho
infinito air of scorn with which sho re
garded him.
'
"Mr. Barker, is it so? Toll mo. I
will know;" with tear-flushed face sho
raided in upon him. "They say that
papa died insolvent, and and you
bought up his no-otes, and toll me!"
sho implored passionately.
"Ellie, don't! you will bo ill. Who
told you such cruel things?" llo shuf
fled his papers in agitation.
"Bert Gwynno; lie says it is tho talk
of tho place, and"
Heavens! What has she almost said:
"He'll mako you marry him after a
while." Ho marry her! such an insigni
ficant nobody.
"Ellie, listen; I am not going to dony
what I havo dono."
"Then you did! oh!" Sho went
down by tiio still' old client's chair in a
heap, and hid her face in her hands.
"Child, what could I do? Tho credi
tors threatened. Thero was nothing to
pay them, and you looked so littlo and
helpless. Besides, it is only discharg
ing an old obligation. Your father
was very kind to mo when I was a poor
lad. Elllo, don't bo angry."
(Sob, sob from tho rounds of the
chair).
"Is tho houso yours tooP"
"By heavens, Efllo, If you ask mo any
thing moro l'h deny everything," des
perately.
"Is It, I sayP" tempestuously.
"Yos."
Gabriol Barker was as abashed as If
ho had been confronted with selling il
legal whisky.
"Do you hold those notosP"
("Confound that meddlesome
Gwynno boy; I'll thrash him to-morrow,
If I live). Yes, 'Efllo, but thoy aro
yours. I havo left them to you in my
will. Hero thoy are," laying a bundlo
in her lap.
"Tdko them away. I will not havo
them." sho said oxcltodly. "Unless
Mr. Barker- you tell mo how I can
pay you."
"Will you, if I tell you, Eflie?"
Ho opened his arms, and she crept
close to his heart, whispering:
"Yes, Gabriel."
"How could you afford it? Didn't
it take quantities of money?"
"You remember an unelo who died in
California a year ago? Ho left mo a
hundred thousand dollars. I havo saved
twenty-live thousand nnd tho house; so
you won't be quito destitute, sweet
heart." "Destitute? Shcba's queen was not
ns wealthy. Sho didn't own my Gab
riel." They wcro married in tho morning.
That evening, ns thoy sat together in
tho library (for thoy took no wedding
journey), ho leaned toward his whito
robed treasure.
"Ellie, will you burn thoso notes for
mo?"
Ho kindled a bright blazo on tho wido
hearth, and Ellie took tho fat bundlo
and commenced, woman-like, to untit
it.
"No, no!" ho objected, "burn it so."
"But it will burn quicker." The will
ful littlo fingers tugged nt tho strings
"I desiro you not to open it, Efllo."
"But, Gabriel, I will." Out dropped
a scaled letter, directed to "Miss Eflio
Ford." Underneath was scrawled, "To
be delivered in ease of my death." Tho
despoiling fingers closed upon it greed-
"No, Eflio," ho pleaded.
"Gabriel," solemnly, "listen, my idol,
and believe 1110; I shall never bo really
happy unless I read this letter."
"Eve thought tho same."
"Hush about Eve! I never nto any
interdicted apples," and tho nineteenth
century Evo deliberately seated herself
to enjoy her forbidden fruit. It was a
letter of impassionato love, but just at
its closo was tho clause ho did not wish
hor to see. It showed a jealous pang at
hor preforonco for Bert Gwynne. But
that ono sentence of renunciation
bound hor to him moro closely than a
world of protestations. "My truo love,
how could you iningino such a thing!
That stupid boy! I should never have
loved you as woll, Gabriol, if I hadn't
read this, for it shows you aro a noble
fellow." Tid-llils.
The Grocer's New Boy.
A Michigan avenuo grocer took on a
now boy tlto othor day, and when it
camo noon ho catechised tho lad as to
tho prico of butter, sugar, eggs, clothes
pins nnd other nrtiolos which might bo
called for and went homo to dinner
feeling that tho boy was all right.
When ho returned, aftor an hour, ho
missed a barroi of flour and asked what
had bocomo of it.
"Sold it!" was tho proud reply.
"For cash?"
"No; the man said ho had an account
hero."
"Tho infernal dead-beat! Ho took
advantage of you!"
"Oh, no lie didn't. Ho said he
couldn't wait for us to deliver it, and
ho rolled it out tho back way and went
after u wagon to tako it oil'. Oh, no
ho didn't beat us any."
"But tho flour is gono."
"Yes, but while this fellow was aftor
n wagon another man came along and
stolo tho barroi and got away with it!
I'd liko to see anybody tako advantage
of 1110!" Detroit Free Press.
Legal Phraseology.
If a man would, according to law,
givo to another an orango, instead of
saying: "I givo you that orango,"
which ono would think would bo what
is called in legal phraseology" an ab
solute convoyanco of all right and title
thoroin," tho phrase would run thus:
"I givo you all and singular my
estate and interest, right, title and claim,
and advantage of, all in and to that
orango, with all its rind, skin, juico,
pulp and pips, and all right and ad
vantage therein, with full power to blto,
