Wanted-A Minster.
Wo have been without a pastor
Somo eighteen ruonths-or more.
And though candidates aro plenty
Wo'vo had at least a score,
All of them "lip top" preachers, .
Or 80 their hitters ran
We're aro juit as far as ever
From settling on the mau. >
Tho first who came among ns,
By no means the worst,
But then we didn't think of Lita,
Because he?was the first;
It being quito the custom
To sacrifice a few
Boforo the church in earnest
Determinod what to do.
There was a smart young feUow
With serious, earnest way.
Who, but for one great blunder,
Had burely won the day.
Who left sogood?mpression,
Qa Monday, ouo or two
Went rouud among tho people
To seo if ho wunld do.
Thc pious, godiv portion
Had not a fault to find;
His clear and searching preaching
They thought the yerr kind.
And all went smooth and pleasant
Until they beard tho views
Of some inlluentiarsinners
Who rent tho highest pews.
On these bis pungent dealing
Made but a sorry hit;
The coat of Gospel teaching
Was quite too tight a fit.
Of course his fato was settled;
Attend, vc parsons, all!
And preach to please the sinners.
If you would get a call.
Next carno a spruce youDg dandy;
Ho wore his hair too long;
Another's coat was shabby,
And his voice not over-stroug;
And ono Now Haven student
Was worse than all of those:
Wo couldn't heed bis sermon
For thiuking of his nose.
Then, wearving of candidates,
We looked the country through,
'Mid doctors and piofessors,
To tiud ono that would do;
And after much discussion
On whom should bear the ark,
With tolerable agreement,
We fixed on Dr. Parke.
Hero, then, wo thought it settled,
But were amazed to find
Our flattering invitatiou
Respectfully declined.
We turned to Dr. Hopkius
To help us in tho lurch,
Who strangely thought that college j
Had claims above our church.
Next we despatched committees
By twos and threes, to urge
Thc labors for a Sabbath
Of tho Rev. Shallow Splurge.
Ho came-a marked sensation.
So wonderful bis style.
Followed thc creaking of bis boots
As he passed up thc aisle.
His tones were so affecting,
His gestures so divine,
A lady fainted in the hymn
B'.lore the second liue;
And on that day he gave us,
In accents clear aud loud.
Tho greatest praj cr ever addressed
To au enlightened crowd.
He preached a doublo sermon,
And gave us angels food
On such a lovely topic
"The joys of solitude."
AU full of ?weet descriptions
Of flowers aud p-arly streams,
Of warbling birds, and moonlit grovos,
And golden sun-set beams.
Of faith and truo repentance
He nothing bad to say:
He rounded all tho corners.
And smoothed the rugged way;
ll inaged with great adroitness
To entci ' " in atidjdeaso,
A td leave me sinner's conscience
Completely at its caso.
Cix hundred is the salary
Wc gave in firmer days;
Wo thought it very liberal,
And found it hard to raise;
Bnt whoo we took thc paper
Wo h id no need to urge
To raise a ocl two thousand
For tho Rev. Shallow Splurge.
In vain were all thu efforts
Wo had no chance at all
We found ten city church? >
Had given bimi a call;
And ho, in prayerful waiting,
Was keeping thom all in tow;
But where they paid the highest
It was whispered ho would go.
And now, good Christian brothers,
Wo a6k your earnest prayers,
That God "would send a shepherd
To guide our church affairs.
With this clear understanding
A man to meet our views,
Must preach to please thc tinners,
And fill the vacant pews.
THE TWO ANSWERS.
"No Charlea, it cannot be. As a
friend I shall respect and esteem you;
but I cannot bo your wife. Have
compassion on me, and do not press
me further."
Mary Granville stood before me, as
?ho spoke, with her bauds clasped
aud her head bowed, trembling like
an aspen, and as I fancied, there were
tears iu her eyes.
She was a beautiful girl, and I had
thought her as good aud pure as she
was beautiful, and, further than this,
I had believed that she loved me.
She ws an orphan, and had been
engaged during the past year in
teaching one of our village schools.
Of her early life I knew nothing,
save that she had been educated aud
moved in good society; and I had
reason to believe that at somo time
her parents had been wealthy, but
her father had failed in business, and
it had been told to me, that the sad
reverse killed .him. I had known
that Mary was poor-that she was
dependent on her daily labor for sup?
port, and the thought that I could
offer her a comfortable home, with
the advantage of moderate wealth,
had given increase to my prospective
happiness.
But this unexpected answer dashed
nil my bright hopes to thc ground.
"Do you meau," I cried vehe?
mently, "That you dismii" mo?
Am I cast off?"
"I cannot be your wife," was tho
reply.
' Then," said I, with more warmth
than I might have betrayed under
other circumstances, "I leave you
to yourself, and while I try to shake i
off the love that tas bomu? me to you, i
I will only hope that ere you lead j
another into your net, you will con- i
elude beforehand whether you will <
keep him."
She looked into my face with a
painful frightened glance, but I did
not stop to hear her speak further. I
turned and lott the house.
I remarked that, under other cir?
cumstances, I mighMiave been moro
cool and collected in my speech; and
what do you suppose,. dear readers,
the attending circumstances wore?
I'll tell you candidly.
I was a little heated with wine. I
had drank just enough to warm my
blood and" give my brain an extra
impulse, and my words were not
chosen, as I should have chosen them
had the spirit of wino been absent.
As I walked towards my home, I..
sought to persuado myself that I had
fortunately escaped the snare of a
coquette, and that I might bo the
better enabled thus to reason, 1
stopped at the hotel, where I found a
few of my companions, and helped
to dispose of a half a dozen bottles of
wine.
On tho following morning I awoke
with tho headache, and when I called
to mind the events of tho preceding
evening, I was anything but happy."
I began to realizo how much I had
loved Mary Granville. There was un
aching void in my heart, and I wept
ns I contemplated my loss. It was
my first love, and its influence had
penetrated every fibre of my being,
j Tho beautiful girl had become more
I dear to me than I could tell, and I
! groa ?ed in bitter anguish when I
t thought that she was lost to me
forever.
I resolved that T should feel very
angry and indignant, but when tho
sweet face was called up to mental
view, such feelings melted away,
leaving mo sad and desolate.
On tlie following Sabbath I attend?
ed church, where I saw Mary once
more. She played the organ as she
had done tho past year, and as her
fingers swept over tho keys, I
fancied that I could detect a tremu?
lousness, which I had never noticed
before. Was it imagination, or waa
it really a plaintiveness-a sadness in
expression of her music.
To me it seemed at times as though
the organ moaned and wept. It was
like the wailing of the daughters of
Ziou by the rivers of Babylon.
When tho services wero over, and
wo went out of the church, I saw
Mary's face. It was pale and wan,
as though she had been sick. What
could it be? Was she suffering as
I had suffered? The thought flashed
upon mo that some one had told her
something to my disadvantage. I
had enemies, who envied me because
I had inherited some wealth-and I
fancied enemies who envied me the
love of Mary Granville.
Another week passed, and I be?
came more and moro sad and lone?
some. My business was irksome to
mo, and my books and papers afford?
ed mo no respite. In fact, I could
not read, for my mind w.is never on
the page before me. Another Sab?
bath at church and I saw Mary nguiu.
She was paler than before, and her
eyes looked as though she had been
weeping.
During the succeeding week, 1 re?
ceived a visit from my college chum,
Jack Stanton, who had just opened a
law office at Berryville. After sup?
per, as wo sat in our cosy junior
smoking our sega rs, I suggested that
a bottle of wiue would not be amiss.
Jack shook his head.
"No. Charley," he said, "we'll
leave the wine to those who need it."
"You used to drink, Jack."
"Yes, but it never done mo any
good."
"And do you think that.it overdid
you any harm'. "'
"As to that, I will not say, but it
never shall do mu harm. I know it
has harmed others as strong as I am.
1 By-the-way, Charley, isn't Mary
Granville here?"
: "Yes," said I.
"Do you know her?"
I turned away my face and pre
j tended to have hoard something at
I tho window.
"I have seen her," I replied, when
I had composed myself. "She plays
the organ in the church."
"She and I were schoolmates,"
pursued Stanton; "and speaking of
wino brings her to my mind. Do you
know anything of her early life?"
"Nothing," I answered.
"Poor Mary! I never think of her
without feeling my resolutions of
total abstinence grow stronger and
stronger. When we were school
children together, her father was the
wealthiest man in Berryville, and she
and her brother were among the hap?
piest of the happy.
"Mr. Granville was in tho habit of
drinking wine, ami the habit grew
upon him until he could not go with?
out his brandy.
"Ho was of a social disposition,
and in tiiuo it came to pass that he
was often grossly intoxicated. Of
course, under such circumstances,
ono of two things must happen-the
man must reform or must sink. Mr.
Granville did not reform, and ere
many years he died a drunkard's
death, leaving his family in poverty
and suffering.
"Thomas, the sim-four years
older than Mary-became dissipated,
and at tho ago of eighteen was killed
in a street fight in New York. Mrs.
Granville survived her son but a few
montlis-absolutely dying, the doctor
said, of a broken heart.
"Poor Mary, thus left fatherless
?md motherless, -without brother or
lister, at the age of fifteen, -was forced
to earn the bread she eat-and nobly
has she done it. If you know her,
Charley, you know one of the noblest
women that ever lived. But-what's
tho matter? Why, bless me, you look
as pale as a ghost."
1 struggled hard with myself, and
told Jack that I had swallowed a lot
of cigar smoke. I rose, and opening
ono of tho casements, stepped out on
the balcony; where the fresh air re?
stored me.
At a late hour Jack departed, for
tho hotel, and when I had retired to
my chamber, I paced to and fro until
long after midnight. I could no
longer misunderstand tho motive
which bad actuated Mary in rejecting
my hand. She knew that I was in
tho habit of using wiue, and on that
evening when we met, she must have
discovered that I hail drank enough
to bring a false flush to my cheek.
"Oh, my God!" I ejaculated, as I
sank into a chair, "I wonder not that
she refused to place her future life in
my keeping. She had suffered
enough from the accursed cup. Thc
night of sorrow and desolation has
been long upon her. She would be
worse than mad to take a husband,
whoso opening path in life led to?
wards the pit iuto which thc loved
ones of other days had fallen."
"But," I asked myself, "why did
she not tell me tho whole truth'."
I found no difficulty in answering
the question. She liad shrunk from
wounding my feelings. I knew how
sensitive she was, and I knew she was
afraid of offending me. Perhaps she
thought mc proud and head-strong
enough to resent such liberty on her
part, and perhaps she imagined I
might look upon her as the offering
of her hand in consideration of re?
nouncing tho wine cup, and that 1
might spurn her offer.
On Friday, Jack Stanton left me,
and, on Saturday evening, I called at
Mary's boarding house. Mary her?
self auswered my summons. She
started when she saw mo, and I saw
her right hand move quickly towards
her heart. -
"Marv," I said, speaking calmly,
for I hau a mighty strength of will tc
support me, "I have not com?: to dis?
tress you; I have come as a friend,
and I humbly ask that you will gire
mo an audience for a few moments.'
She went into thc parlor, and I fol?
lowed her, (dosing the door behind
mc; and when we were alone, she sel
the lamp on the table and motioned
me to a scat.
"No," said I, "I will not sit dowe
yet. Give me your hand, Mary."
Mechanically, she put forth hei
hands, and I took them in my own.
There was a wondering look in hei
eyes, and a slight flush came to hei
pale cheeks.
"Mary," I continued, speaking
slowly and softly, und I know that
moisture was gathering in my eyes,
"you must answer me one question,
Answer it ns you please, and take nn
solemn assurance that I ask it foi
your good. Tell me, do you lov<
me? No, no-do not take your hand;
away yet. Answer mo if you can
Fear not-O lear not; for T hn<
rather go into endless night than di
you wiling. Tell me, Marv, do yoi
love me?"
"I cannot speak falsely," sin
tremblingly whispered; "for my owi
peace, perhaps I love you too well."
"Listen to mc for one moment," '.
added, drawing her nearer to me
"when T have told you that which
have to tell, yon shall bc the judge.'
Shi? did not strive to free he
hands, but looked up eagerly in m;
face, and her eve beamed with a hope
fal light.
"You know Jack Stanton?" I said
"Yes," she replied.
"He was my best friend when w
were at college, and my frieudshi;
has not grown less. He came ti- se
me, and told me the trials and sufiei
ings of one of the school-mates c
his earlier days. Oh, Mary, 1 kno>
well why my hand was refused, and
blame you not. Il may be that on
paths will be different through life
but you shall at least know that h
whom you have loved will so liv
that he shall not be unworthy c
kindest remembrance. 1 know thu
I have hitherto wandered into tl\
path of danger, but henceforth 1 ai
free from tin; dread snare. Undi
the new light that has dawned upo
me, I hold tho w?ue cup to be a feai
ful enemy. 1 will shun it as 1 woul
shun a .shameful life and a eloude
death-bed. For my own sake will
do this, so that my sainted mother, i
she can look upon her boy, eau smil
approvingly on the course ho hs
chosen.
"And now. Mary, if at some t ut ur
time you shou'd biol that you ca
trust your happiness in my keepiuj.
you will give me some token thereo
and I will como and ask for yon
hand; and should it be my blesse
lot to receive it, I will devote ever
en'Tgy in my being to make your lit'
a joyous and peaceful oin-."
I let go her hands, and bowed m
head to wipe away a tear. 1 turne
towards thu door, really intending t
depart and give her time for reflei
tion, when she pronounced my nanu
I looked back and her hands wei
stretched out towards me.
"Not now," 1 whispered. "I wi
not ask your answer yet. Wate
me-prove rae. Only give mo t
know that I have your love."
I stopped speaking, for Mary
head had been pillowed upon in
bosom, and sho was weeping like
child.
"Now I uowl" sho uttered, as
wound my arms around her. "Ob,
Charles, I never doubted your truth.
I know you cannot deceive nie. God
bless your noble resolution, and let
me help you to keep it!"
I cannot tell how long I stopped
that evening. I can only tell that I
was very happy, and that my pros?
pects of the coming year were bright
? and glorious.
On the following day-a Sabbath
calm and pleasant-the organ gave
forth a new strain. Tho daughters
of Zion were no longer in a strange
land. They had taken their harps
down from the willows, and within
tho chambers of the now Templo,
moro resplendent far than the old,
tiley sang the s aigs that aforetime
made joyous tho city of their God.
All marked the grandeur of the music
that sprang into life beneath the
toueh of tho fair organist on that
beautiful Sabbath morning; and all
seemed moved by inspiration. To
me it was like the outpourings of a
redeemed soul, and with bowed head
and folded hands, I gave myself np
to the sublime influence. As Mary
turned from the instrument I caught
her eye. Minc were dim with mois?
ture, but hers Were bright, gleaming
with seraphic light.
Ere many weeks had passed, an?
other hand passed over the keys of
the organ, for Mary was not iu thc
choir. She knelt before the altar by
my side,, and over us both the aged
clergyman stretched his hands with
prayer and blessing.
And we went out of church toge?
ther-Mary and I-out in the new
life--bound heart to heart and hand
to hand, to love, honor and cherish
forevermore.
