In the old church tower Hangs the heii; And above it on the vane, In the sunshine and the rain, Cut in gold St. Peter stands With the keys in his two hand, And all is well. In the old church tower Hangs the bell. You can hear its great heart beat, Ah! so loud and mild and sweet, As the parson says his prayer Over happy lovers there, While all is well! In the old church tower H angs the bell. Deep and solemn. Hark ! again, Ah! what passion and what pain! With her hand upon her breast, Some poor soul has gone to rest Where all is well! In the old church tower Hangs the bell A quaint friend that seems to know, All our joys and all our woe; It is glad when we are red, It is sad when we are dead, And all is well. lB LE1RED. TOO LATE. -o The summer was like no other ummer the world had ever nown. Never was June so sweet; ever were mornings so rosy and adiant ; never were light so ten r er. A young and beautiful girl stood >oking at the sunset as the last rewell glow bathed the blue aves in golden radiance. To ol: at her face one would never ream that her position in life wa$ ot among the proudest; but a lance at her simple dress would ispel the illusion. Flossy Thay had been brought up by her randfatber in a quiet, secluded )untry neighborhood. The old fntleman was wealthy. Flossy as the darling of his heart, arnd reat pains were lavished upon er education. The grandfather's ealth was not good, and they -aveled a great deai, often spend ig the winter in the South. ey had been there when the ash came ; Mr. Thayer lost hisI oney. He wav the most hon rable man alive; he returned ome, paid his li~abilities to the ,st. farthinig; sold the beautiful >untry seat where Flossy had ent her childhood and estab shed himself in a.n old farmhouse y the sea, with hardly enough oney left to live upon. So for four years Mr. Thbayer and b s granddaughter bad lived quiet enough in their retreat. So r as the old gentleman knew, lossy had been happy, but in -uth she was alway waiting for me wonderful change that was free her from the humdrum life Swhich her life was passing. But C ,was nevetheless true that no alace ever sheltered a maiden ~ ore r'oyally fair than she. And I thought some one else as he ~ rew near her with quick, light ' otseps. Tall and straight, with ~ ark, laughing eyes and mouth P adowed by a moustache, Mark ~ orton was just fitted te win the ~ny of a young, inexperienced ~ 'So you have been waiting for ~ ? Eappy man to have won the v of one so fair and sweet.t A glow of crimson tinged the ~ irl's facee as the eyes uplifted to teet her lover's told plainly what ~ ~s in her heart. While the C oung people conversed Mark a >ok Flossy's hand in his and ~ >ld her something which made a te teardrops quickly start. 'Do not grieve, dear Flossy. 1 ball only be gone a short time, a Dd ou know that if it were not 1 eesary nothing could take me -om you You are niot afraid r :at absence could alter my love ? fa 'lossy, you do not doubt me ?' She was young and unused to a ae world, and it is no wonder t at she trusted Mark Norton, ~ rho, to her, was the noblest and ' randest of men. Thlley parted.f Lark Norton, following his phy- S cian's advice had come that b ammer to the quiet country town y the sea to regain his health, t In.h had lng ban delicate. In y one of his rambles he had met Flossy, and being shy and shrinking, it had been the work of a long time to establish himself upon friendly terms with the girl. whose beauty surpassed any be had ever seen. It was not long before, with a thrill of vanity, Mark could see the hold he had ;aine<i in her innocent heart. One lay, in answer to his whispered question, Flossy acknowledged that her heart was his, and he placed a golden band of betrothal upon her slender finger. For a time after his departure etters from her lover came regu ar to Flossy ; but after awhile he letters came less frequently, ud then when three months had )assed the looked for letter came. It read, oh, how coldly, and con ined his farewell: 'I am going tbroad. I shall probably be ab ent. several years. Our imme Jiate marriage is now, of course, in impossibility. I could not ask you, nor do I feel it right to hold you, through an indefinite time, o your pledge, therefore I free ou.' Once, twice she read the letter .hrough; theu, with white face ind tearless eyes, held it to the natch with a steady hand, nor let t fall until the flame crept so -lose that it blackened the tender lesh and the letter lay singed and harred under her feet. That day he (vent into her grandfather's corm and laid her head on his. Don't talk to me, grandpa,' she aid, 'and don't ask me any ques ions, but we will keep house lone, you and I, and we'll forget hat we intended to let anybody Iso in.' 'The ecoundrel! If you had icon rich, my child, this sorrow vould not have come upon you. ut, mark my words, some time -ou will have your revenge.' * * h s * Four years have swiftly passed. eated in a room~ in one of: the opular hotels in New York were wo young men. Suddenly one of hem, looking out of the window, xclaimned : 'Look, Aubrey I See if you now who that lady is. What a >vely woman. Do you know er?' 'I~ should think that J did, and hink myself honored that I do.' he is the belle of New York and he most beautiful girl I have ver known.' A smile curled Mark Norton's ps as he trrned from the win ow. 'You speak, warmly, Aubrey,' e said. 'You would not blame me for peaking warmly if you knew er,' he answered. 'jlier history' s a romantic one. I f you like I 'ill tell it to you. '11cr name is Miss Flossy Thay r. When I first knew her she cas not wealthy, though in my yes even then her beauty sur assed anything that I had ever en. It was not long after you 'ent on your travels that an un le of~ mine, who had purchased a ilace by the sea, invited me to pend the summer with him. It vas a very quiet, secluded village, nd I soon became acquainted 'ith Flossy. Not long after tbat he old grandfather died, and my :d aunt took the sorrowing girl rito her house. My uncle had he mining papers in his posses ion of some minir'g shares that he old gentleman had long deem d worthless, wbich suddenly rose, first to par, then so widely bove as to enable Flossy to re ain her footing in the world. L before, all that the grandfather ad crumbled into powder, now i that he had left was converted to gold.' As Mark Norton listened va. ied expressions flitted across his ice. He knew that the maiden chose heart he had won arnd cast side for his own amusement and his beautiful heiress must be one ud the same person. Might it ot be that if he exerted his art of iscination to the utmost he could oon regain the lovs he had once eld ? 'Aubrey.' he said, '1 should like o meet thbis Miss Thbayer. Could 'anrnanon to preentf me to her?7' That night the two friends en tered the drawing room, in 'wrhi(l a brilliant crowd was assembleI A little later Mark Norton stoot beside Flossy. She had nove looked more beautiful than sh, did then in her creamy costume 0 satin and fleeey lace, looped witl diamond stars. 'Miss Thayer, allow me to pre sent you to Mr. Norttnf' Flossy bowed as to an, uttte stranger. An instant-her lip curl ed, and then she hid it in at. allur ing smile. 'As he has made me suffer, s< shall bis suffering be.' 'She loves me still,' though Mark Norton, proudly, as later be went out ihto the starlit night 'I feared I Lad lost her, but shall win her yet. How lovelb she is. I believe this time m3 heart will be the stake!' With proud confidence Mari but waited the best time fitted fo him to speak the fateful words At last the oppotuntity was his She smiled, as he thuugbt, witi joy as be asked her now to giv him his reward. Then the smi! turned into icy sc.orn. the look h< had interpreted of love altered int< contempt, the sweet tones gre%i harsh as in a few cutting phras es she spoke the words tha doomed him. '. love you, Flossy-believe me I love you for yourself,' he replied and once the man was sincere. A look of scorn flasbed- fron Flossy's eyes as she withdrew hei arm from his. 'M r. Norton.' sh< said, 'your repentance has com< too late. As I once loved, I non despise you.' Mark Norton's face flushed be fore the contempt in her voice He felt that she had read arigh the selfish motive of his fals< heart. Not long nfter Mr. Nor ton received a letter and a smal packet containing two cards tiec together by a knot of bridal rib bon. Upon one was the namn 'Flossy Thayer' ; upon the other 'Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Merritt.' THE ~ECUM~ENIO.-L METHO, ODIST CONFERENCE. The first oTcumnenical Metho. dist Conference ever held was opened yesterday morning at tbe Cityroad Chapel. From documentF circulated in connection with the gathering, it appears that the frst proposition to bold an Geum enical Conference emanated from the Wesl.eyaus of the United States. Tfhe Wesleyans in Ameri a sent a message to the Bradford Conference, held in Englandi some years ago, in reference to the mat ter. T he proposal n as opposed by several of the English Meth~ odists, but the majority of them gave it a favorable reception. The result wa4s a cor respond~ence be tween the Methodists on both sides of the Atlantic, so that the views of each should become mu tually known and understood, and the.- necessary arrangemen ts set~ led. In lingland it was decided to exclude doctrine from the dis ussions in any Conference that might be held. As soon as the aracter of the proposed Cou ference was determnined~ upn, the English Committee reported fav rably to their own Conference, who sanctioned the proposal and reappointed the Committee. All the Methodist bodies in England were then invited to an inter abnge of views as to the proposed onference. Tb response was minently favorable to thc propo sition. A meetiog was held in London in November, which was attended by representatives of all the different Methodist bodies of the kingdom. A decision unani mously in favor of the (I'cu menical onerence was passed, anid tL.ere was an equally unamimous opinion that the Conference should be of a practical character. The General Executive Commit tee of the Conference opened yes. eday consists of one clerical and one lay mem ber from each Meth dit body appointed by the den eral Conference, Episcopal Board, onference Presiden t, or other ailaleaut hority acnting during the past year. The Committee is di cvidcd into two sections-the East ern, including British and Conti nental Methodism and its affiliated iC,onfIerences, and the Western. ini ciuding the Methodism of the n itcd States and Canada a1 well as its various mission fields. The d legates who hace been appoiist ed to attend the Conference num) ber nea.ly four hundred, about one-hall' of Whom represent the . Methodism of A merica. The other hlalf' represeit the Methodism of the British Isles, the Continent of Europe, and Australasia, the An tipodean delegates numbering six teen. It ha; been the desire of the arrangers of the Conference that le clerical and lay elements [ shouJd be equally represented, and tLat desire seems to have been saccessfully realized. From the North American States come 80 delegates, and from the South, which keeps up its separate or ganization, come 38. The African Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States is represented by 28 delegates, and other minor bodies in proportion. The Ameri can representatives include 14 oisbops, 67 doctors of divinity, and 34 men of color. British - Methodictn is represented by 90 Wesleyan Meti: odist, J Primitive Methodists, 22 [nited Methodist Free Churchists, twelve Metho diets New Connexionists. ten Irish Wesleyan Methodists, ten Bible Christians, four Wesleyan Reform Unionists, and two United Free Gospel Churchmen. The principai object of the Conference. is 'to devise means for prosecuting the home and foreivn work so as . tp reslt in the greatest economy and efficiency, to promote frater nity, to increase the moral and evangelical power of a common Methodism, and to secure the more speedy conversio.r. of the world.' A large number of pa pers on various subjects have been prepared for discussion. The read ing of each paper is to be followed by the observations of' some specially invited speaker, and an openU discussion. It is so arranged that the reader and the first speaker shall be repr-esentatives of' different parts of the wor-Id. T he Conference will occupy twelve diays, not including sunday, and there will be two sittings each day. The platform, and the whole of the floor of the City-road Qhapel, with the exception of 200 seats to wards the back of the chapel, have been reserved for the members of' the Conference. In this space ther-e are 436 sittings. The re maining 200 seats o the noor have been allotted to those min ister's and laymen wb-o have ser-ved on Committees in p)romo tion of the Conf~ernce but who have not been elected as rep)re sentatives, and to the ministers of the several denominations repre sented. Th gallery, containing 600 seats, is left open to those o the public who have procured tickets. The first Session of the Con ference commenced with a ser mon in the morning by the Rev. Bishop M. Simpson, of the Metho dist Episcopal Church. The .Rev. *Dr. Osborn, Precident of the Brit ish Weslevan Methodist Confer ence, and President of the day's proceedings, occupied the princi pal chair. Bishop Simpson read his text from what is known as Wesley's Field Bible,' respecting* which there is a dispute as to whether it has beent so called be cause it was published by a person named Field, or because Wesley was in the habit of carrying it ~about with h im whenever he had to preach in fields or in the openI air. The text was taken from st. John. vi. 63, 'The words that Ii speak unto you-thoy are spirit, and they ar-e life.' The discourse t occupied one hour and a half. The preacher gave a sketcb of' the his-] tory of Methodism, and dwelt '1 pitdy upon tegreat progressJ it has made. The progress, he I remarked, was well exemoplined by the present Confer'ence, at I wbich were representatives, not of England alone, but of the I whbole w orld. Thbe doctrine of t Wesle was now preac.hed in all ( parts of the globe, and in as many as thirty languages. He attri.. buted that great success, in a con siderahle de.r"ee. to the fact that uriitv wag the leading charac teristic of Metbodism, to the sim pieity of its doctrine, and to the beauty of its hymns. D>uring the existence of Methodism there had been no division as to its doctrine. They had not assembled to day for .he purpese of legislating as to ahy new doctrine, or to intro duce anything fresh in reference to matters upon whieb they had been for -o many years fully agreed. All they were invited to do was to make known and con sider the condition and prospects of Methodism all over the world. This Conference, he hoped, would lead to a Protestant Ucumenical Conference. The se;oud Session was fixed for half-past two o'clock. It was not opened for nearly an hour af terwards. Close upon two hours were occupied in devotional ex ercises, and the reading and an swering to their names of the del egatei present. Of the 400 there were only a few absentees. The Rev. Dr. Osborn, the Presi dent, delivered an address expres sive of welcome to the delegates, particularly to those who had come from foreign parts, and of thankfulness for the progress which Methodism was making in ail parts of the earth. The Rev. Bishop H. A.M'Tyeire, of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the Southern States of Ameri ca; the Rev. Bishop H. W. War ren, of the Methodist Episcopal Church ; and the Rev. G. Douglas, of the Methodist Church of Cana da, responded on the part of all the delegates, and gave detailed particulars of the position of Methodism in the countries they represented. The Rev. J. Withington moved a resolution expressing sympathy with the President of the United States and Mrs. Garfield in their suffering and anxiety, and hoping that ere long General Garfield will be fully restored to health. Thle lateness of the hour prevent ed any observations being made on the motion. Mr. S. .D. Waddy seconded the proposition. whbichb was supported in a few words by General Fisk and the Rev. Dr. Rigg and passed unanimously. A telegram was ordered to be sent at once to Mrs. Garfield, in forming her of the resolution just passed. This concluded the day's busi The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, who are imnembers of the Wesleyan community, gave a eeption at the Mansion House ast evening to the delsgates.
