At the foot of tho Ivan towor, in tho Krem lin ef Mosoow, supported by a podostai of stono, is tho largest bell in tho world, aud probably, tho largest that evor teas in the world. A picco la broken out of its sido, and tho fragment is lying near. Tho breadth of ! the boll is so great,?it is twenty foot aoross, ?that the oavity underneath has been used as ohapot, whore as many peoplo oau staud as in a oirolo sixty foot around. In llussia tho boll is an instrument of mu si? for the worship of God as truly and roally as the. organ in any other country I This fact is not mentioned in tho aooounte we havo of the wonderful, onormous, and almost in credibly heavy bolls that have keen oast in Moscow. But it 1? the key to what would othorwiso bo difficult to explain. It appoars absurd to oast bolls so largo as to bo noxt to impossible for convenient uso, in dangor al ways of falling and dragging others to rain in their fall. But wbon the boll is a medium of communication with the Infini? s, and tbo worship of a pooplo and an ompiro finds ex pression in the majestic tones of a bell, it ?ossee to be a wonder Ihat a hell should have * tongue which requires tWfnty-lW. men to wove, aed whose musi? should send a thrill of praise i'i to every boato in the eity, tad float away beyond the river into the plains afar. Mosoow ? tbo holy city of the ?reok Churoh. Pilgrims como hither from thous ands of miles off, and on foot, and sometimes without shoes. I havo scon thorn, with staves in their hand, and their travel-worn foot wound up in cloths, wending their way to tho sacred hill. And when thoy draw nigh unto tho city, and on the evening air tho rausio of theso holy bells is first borne to their oars, thoy fall upon their faces, prostrata, and wor ship Qod. If thoy could go no further, they would bo content to die there, for they have board tho bolls of Moscow, and on their ma jestio tones their souls havo boon taken up to heaven This is tho soutiment of tho super stitious poosant, aud it is a beautiful souti ment, idoal indoed, but all the more delicato and exalted. As long as five hundred ! years ago, this oastiag of bells woe an art In Russia. It is one of the fine arts now. ? Perhaps our great boll founders, the. Mcncclys, will not admit .that tho founders thoro havo any moro skill in- their manufacturo than wo havo, and I am not sure that thoir bolls have any tones more exquisite than ours would havo if wo would put as vouch silver and gold into our beli ti metal as they do. But so long as thoso pro* 'Vbio?s metals are at the present premium, little pt nouQ of them will find its way into our church belief' Wo have not tho mists kon idea of the Russian as to tho use of a boll.? Wo uso it to call the peoplo to the houso of worship. They use the boll for worship. Our bolls spoak to us. Thoir bolls praiso God.? Thoy oast their silver and their gold into the uoltoh mass, and it becomes an offering, as ?n altar, to Him whe is worshipped with very silvery note and goldon tone of tho holy oil. ... This one great bell is a growth of centu ries. In 1558 it was oast and weighed onlv $,000 pound*. 1$ felt in a fire and was re cast in 1054, being inoroasod to the astonish ing weight of 288,000 pounds. This was too vast a woight to bo taken up to the top of tho tower, and it was sustained by a framo at tho foot of it. In 1706 it fell in ahothor fire and wris broken into frogmonts which lay thero on the ground about thirty years. It was recast in 1783, and four years afterwards a pieoesvas knocked out of tho side of it, and it has been standing here on the ground moro than a century. It weighs 444,000 pounds 1 In tk thickest part it is two fect through. It has roliu pioturos on it of tho Emperor and Empress, of the Saviour and tho Virgin Ma ry, and tho Evangelists. Ascending the Ivan towor, wo find on thrco successive stories bells to tho number of thir ty-four. Some of these aro ef a ?i*o to fill ono With astonishment had he not soon tho giant below. The largest is on the first story abovo tho ohapol and' weighs more than sixty tons. It swings freoly and is easily rung. I smao it with tho palm of rny hand, suppo sing that suoh a blow eould not produce the slightest vibration ia such a mighty mass of | iron, but it rung out as clear and startling as if a s^rit within had'responded to my knook without. Two bolls are of solid silver and thoir tones are exquisitely soft, liquid and puro. It wan exciting to go from ono to an other andW strike them with their tongaos, or with yoir hand, and oateh the variety and richness of thoir several melodies. The chapel below is dedioated to the patron saint of all Indies about to be married, and it may be retdjly believed that the bell that gives expression to their pray; re will have, at least to their ears, the sweetest tone of all the "tells in Mosoow* I had como down from tho Kroralin to my lo Vings at Billot's, and, wearied with tho wanioriugs of the day, was lying on the bod and hoking out oa the oity. It is just before sunset, and tho day has been oppressively warm. A delloious glow from the gorgeous west is bathing all the domes and roofs with splendid odors, and silence is stealing jn with the setting tun upon the crowded town. It is the ovo of one of thoir most holy festivals of tie Church.

And all tho ohurohos and towers over tho whole city, fou- hundred bolls, and morei in concert, in harmony, " with notes almost divine," lift up thoir voiees in an au them of praise, suoh as I never thought to hoar with mortal oars i waves of melody, an ocean of music, doop, rolling, hoaviog, changing, swell ing, sinking, rising, sounding, overwhelming exalting. I had hoard tho great organs of Europe, but they wero tamo aud trifling com pared with this. The anthotu of Naturo at Niagara is familiar to my our, but its thuuder is ono groat monotone. The music of Mos cow's bells is above and boyond thorn all. It is tho voice of the poople. It uttors tho emo tions of millions of loving, boating, longing hearts, not calighloned, perhaps, like yours, but all crying out to tho Great Father, iu these solomn and inspiring toaos, as if these tongues had vot?os t? ory : " Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, Heaven and Earth aro full of Thy glory."

It hns boon woli said, that 1 trutit is stranger than fiotion, and tho dotails i of this lady's history abundantly vorify the ? adago. For reasons which all will eoo tho ? proprioty of, wo withhold hor nomo, merely i relating the faots as thoy woro communicated t to our reporter by ouo who had hoard hor s " strange, truo story" from her own lips. . * Ij? 1838, hor paronts omigratcd to this " country from England, leuving behind thorn o an only son, souio ton yoars of ago, who had *' engaged as oabin boy on a mcrohant voasol in l> tho Host India trade They landod in Now a York, whon, a fow months lator, tho subject < of this skotoh was born.

In 1863, sho again married, and her bus- , band ombarked in business in St. Louis.? Tho last marriage was a thoroughly happy ono, and in the course of timo *wo children wero born unto them. The hu d gradu* ally extended his busiuosss operati. js, so that much of his time was neocssarily spent iu travelling about tho country, and during ono of his business tours ho visited Chicago' ? where ho became acquainted with a lady and . gentleman, who, by a fortunato ohain of bir- : cumstances, ho ascertained were the long lost foster parents of his wife. Delighted at tho discovery he had mnde,?nnd pleased, no doubt, with anticipations of tho joyful eurpriso he should give his wife, tho husband at onco concluded his business, with the intention of returning to St. Louis and bringing her to , Chicago for the purpose of re-uniting lier with her friends, without having first prepared either party for such an event.
