anything. My soul’s full of music. I can’t
sing a note but I could play anything if I
were taught.’’
“ you shall, Sam, my boy. Come
home with mo. Carry these skins, and you
shall begin at once.”
I went home with him. I found that he
was one ol the players in the choir of his
parish, his instrument being the violoncello.
I took my first lesson, and from that time
commenced anew life. Evening after even
ing, and sometimes during the day, I wan
dered over to his little shop, and while he
sat stitch, stitch at the boots and shoes, I
played over and over again all the music I
could get from the church.
“ You’ve a beautiful fingering, Sam, my
boy, beautiful, and though it doesl ook a lit
tle awkward to see you bowing away with
your left, it makes no difference to you.
\ ou ought to be a fine player, Sam.”
I was enthusiastic, but 1 was poor. X
wanted an instrument of my own, but I had
no money, and I earned none—l could earn
none. My parents thought—and perhaps
rightly—that if they found me food and
clothing, I was well provided for; and so,
for some twelve months I used the old cob
bler’s instrument, improving daily. It was
strange that the limbs and fingers, so rigid
and stiff for every other impulse, should, un
der the influence of sound, move with such
precision, ease and exactness.
“ Bam, my boy,’’ said the cobbler, one
day, “you shall have an instrument, and
your father shall buy it for you, or the whole
parish shall cry shame upon him.”
“ I3ut he dont’t know a word of this,” I
said.
“ Never mind, Sam, my boy, he shall be
glad to know of it.” He told mo his plans.
At certain times it was customary for the
chairs of the neighboring churches to help
each other, and it was arranged that the
choir of our parish should piay and sing on
the next Sunday morning at his parish
church, and that he and his choir should
come over to our parish for tho evening
service.
“ And you, Sam,” said he “shall take my
place in your own church, and please God,
if you do as well there as you’ve done here,
it will be the proudest day I ever knew, Sam,
my boy, and your father and mother shall say
so, too.”
llow I practiced morning, noon and night
for the great day; how the old man darkly
hinted at a prodigy that was to be forth
coming at the festival; and then the day
itself, with its events —all is as vivid before
mo as if it were but yesterday.-
The evening came; and there in the
dimly-lit. gallery I sat waiting, with my mas
ter beside me.
“ Sam, my boy,’’ said my master, “ it’s a
great risk; it’s getting very full. There’s
the Squire and my lady just come in. Keep
your eyes on your book and feel what you
aro playing and think you’re in the little
ahop. I’ve brought a bit of leather to help
youand he put a piece of that black
leather that has a peculiar acid scent in fron6
of me. The scent of it revived mo; the
memory of the many hours I had spent
there came back to me at once and I felt as
if I was indeed there.
She came at last, and service began. O,
that night! Shall I ever forget its pleas
ures ?—the wondering looks of the friends
and neighbors who came in and found in
me, the despised, awkward, left-handed sad
dler’s apprentice, the prodigy of which they
had heard rumors. 0, it was glorious!
The first few strokes of my bow gave me
confidence, and I did well, and knew it,
through the hymn, through the chant, and
on to the anthem before the sermon. That
was to be the gem of the evening; it wasHan
dol’s then new anthem, “I know that my
Kedeemer liveth.’’
I began—harsh, inharmonious, out of
tune—l know not why or how; but as it
progressed a spell seemed upon all but her
and myself; one by one the instruments
ceased and were silent; one by one the
voices died away and were lost, and she
and I, bound together and driven on by
an ii resistible impulse, went through the an
them ; one soul, one spirit, seemed to ani
mate both. The whole congregation lis
tened breathless as to an angel; and she,
self-absorbed, and like one in a trance, sang,
filling me with a delicious sense of peace
and exultation, the like of which I have
never known since.
It came to an end at last, and with the
last triumphant note I fell forward on the
desk in a swoon.
ben I recovered I found myself at
home in my own room, with the rector, the
doctor, and my parents thero, and I heard
the doctor say : »
“ I told you he would, my dear madam;
I knew he would.’’
‘‘Thank God ! ’ murmured my mother.
“ My dear boy, how we have feared for
you! ’
\Y hat a difference! I was courted and
made much of. “Genius!” and “very
clever!’’ and “delightful talent!” such
were the expressions now heard, instead of
“stupid!” “'awkward!” and “unfit for
anything!”
My father bought a fine instrument, and
I was the hero of the village for months.
It was some days after that Sunday that I
ventured to ask about the rector’s niece.
“ My dear boy,” said my mother, ‘-' the
like never was heard. We saw you there
and wondered what you were doing- but as
soon as we saw you with the bow, we knew
that you must be the person there had been
so much talk about; and then when the an
them came, and we all left off singing, and
they all left off playing, and only you and
Miss Cecelia kept on, wo were all in tears.
1 saw even the rector crying; and poor girl
she seemed as if in a dream, and so did you
it was dreadful fjr me to see you with your
eyes fixed on her, watching her so eagerly.
And then to look at her staring up at the
stained glass windows, as if she could see
miles away in the sky. Oh, lam sure the
like never was! and thefi when you fell
down, I screamed, and your father ran up
and carried you down, and brought you home
in farmer Slade’s four-wheeler.”
After this I had an invitation to go up to
the rectory, and there in the long winter
evenings we used to sit; and while I played
she sang. 0, those happy times! when she
loved me, but only as a dear friend, and I
loved her as I never had loved before or
couid love again. Ido not know the kind
of love I had for her. I was but a little
older than she was, but I felt as a father,
might feel for his daughter; a sweet tender
ness and love that made me tender to her.
I knew 6he loved a man unworthy of her,
and I think at times she felt this herself,
and I knew felt it.
I was perfectly free at the rector’s house
at last, and we used to find in our music a
means of converse that our tongues could
never have known. Ah, me—those days.
Alas! they are gone.
She left us at last, and in a few years her
motherless child came back in her place,
and as 1 again sit in the old rectory parlor,
years and years after my first visit, with her
daughter beside me singing—but alas! not
with her mother’s voice—all the old memo
ries flood back upon me, and I feel a grate
ful, calm joy in the openly shown respect
and affection of the daughter of her whom
I loved so silently, so tenderly and so long.
I sit in the old seat in the church now
and play; and, once in the year, the old
anthem; but the voice is goue that filled
the old church as with glory that day. I
feel, as the sound swells out, and the strings
vibrate under my withered fingers, I am but
waiting to be near her under the old yew
tree outside, and it may be nearer to her
still in the longed-for future.
There are moments when the two worlds, the
earthly and spiritual, sweep by near to each
other, and when earthly day and heavenly night
touch each other in twilight.

A BRAVE BOY.
Joseph J. N. Murpiiey, sou S Z. and
Martha Murphey, was born in Summerville,
S. C., May 26th, 1851, and died at Betha
ny, Jefferson co., Ga., Sept. 25th, 1866,
aged 15 years.
He was dedicated to God and the Church
in infancy, and grew up a pious boy, gener
ous, brave, and kind. His bravery was ex
hibited on several occasions when quite a
small boy. His father living on the coast,
and having charge of the Union Society,
allowed the boys the privilege of bathing
The small boys'were compelled to batho near
the shore; but the larger boys were allowed
to bathe where the water was deeper and
the current stroug. One day one of the
small boys got into deep water, and being
unable to swim was being rapidly home
away by the current. Joseph coming up
about that time, asked the cause of their
alarm. He was told that William wss
drowning, when he cried “Let us save him.’’
The boys replied, “ We cannot, for he will
drown us.” Joseph replied, “If he drowns,
I will try to save him;” and he is soon be
side tho drowning boy, who grapples him
around the neck and down they both go—
then rise and go down again. When they
are not to be seen, their teacher, Mr. J. B.
Coburn, came up, an I learning the state of
affairs, and being guided by the bubbles,
plunged into the water and brought the two
boys to the shore. It Was several weeks
before the boys seemed fully to recover.
The praise of Joseph’s companions and
friends emboldened him, for not loDg after
he recovered from the effects of his first res
cue, he, finding one of the boys had got into
deep water, also saved him. He carried to
the grave scars received from trying to ex
tinguish the fire on his father and some of
the boys, who were set on fire by the acci
dental explosion of powder.
Joseph, when about home, was always
looking after the wants of his mother, who
had been confined to the house for nearly
two years. No name was sweeter to Joseph
than that of mother; for it seemed to call
forth all the tender affections of his nature.
At the time of his death he was a student
in the Bethany Collegiate Institute; and
he was in every respect, one of those rare
specimens of love and manliness seldom to
be met with in life. Asa student, his de
portment at all times was exemplary, and
entirely satisfactory to his teacher. For his
schoolmates he always had a smile and a
kind word. In his studies he was diligent,
and never seemed better pleased than when
he received from his teacher words of kind
ness and encouragement. He gave signs
of becoming a brilliant scholar, if he could
have been spared; but the “ ways of the
Lord are unsearchable and past finding
out.” In his death a wound has been in°
flicted on his bereaved parents that time
indeed may close, but it can never, never
heal. But we do not sorrow and weep as
those who have no hope, for the spirit of
the loved one is now at the right hand of
God, singing praises unto the Lamb.

Little Mattie Kelley, died in Macon,
Ga, 4th October, 1866, aged five years and
one month.
On Sunday morning before she was taken
sick she said to her father, “ p a , do you
know where God lives? ’ When to try her
knowledge'he answered “ no,’ 1 she said to
him, “He lives in heaven.’’ And she
added, “ Pa, if you are bad God will not
love you ” These words from one so joum*
reached her father’s heart, and he feels that
he can never forget them.
