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. Cjjilbrtit. 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. L. A. M. 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.
