Uoswerth was a nice little village of some eOO inhabitants, aud boasted f three churches, Coujjiegatien.il, Baptist ami Methodist, while a handful of Unitarians gathered occasienlly at the town hall, and a few Adventists went the next village, five miles distant, te wetship. The three first mentioned societies were a distinct from each ether as black is from white. Xet only were they net en speaking terms with each ether, but the three steies showed that they did net even trade to gether. The eldest inhabitant could uet leniember when this was net ie : but the time had come for a revolution, and with this our story has te de. Miss Betsey Bailey, an elderly maiden lad', was sitting alone in her quiet home, when all at once she broke out with : 'Well, I de declare. Here we be a liv ing alone in this heathenish way yaar after year, and we consider ourselves Christians It's a shame that live hundred people can't live together in harmony, when se many of us are church members.'' The cat, which was sleeping quietly in Miss Betsey's lap, jumped down and ran te the further end el" the room, for Miss Betsey had gesticulated in that direction in such a manner as te indict quite a nip upon the sleeping tabby. Well, l uecare, sani .Miss iietse.v, " if I didn't get se eloquent that I seared the cat. I think I mutt have been born for a female orator." After this she sat back in her chair ap patently asleep, but she was net ; her mind was busy ever a plan which she meant te put into immediate operation. It was very late that night when she came te a final decision, and of course hhe must wait till merninir before she could begin. Se excited had she become ever the mat ter that it was long pat midnight befere she retired, and then it was net te sleep. Early next meaning she called en her most intimate acquaintance and neighbor, Miss Sarah Jenkins. " Sarah, I've get a notion, and it is :,e seldom that I am ever troubles with such a thing that 1 had te come right ever and tell you before I lest it. JJeu you feel able this morning, te .rasp one of the grandest, noblest and brightest ideas tiie world has ever pondered en:'" " Why Betsey ! for land's sake, don't scare a body te death. Yeu ate net going le set the river afire, are you '."' "Xet quite se bad as that, I hop but ii we don't turn this town upside down in tin en months my name isn't Betsey.'" We'.' I hope j'en don't mean te include me in this grand scheme." ' But I de. Yeu are the very one J want for my light hand man." ', "The idea of an old maid like me lend 1 ing aid te the grandest, noblest "' i "Held en. Sarah, don't repeat that sen- tence, please, the very walls nave ears, and I 1 would net have a word of this get out j for the world. All you've get te de is te I listen te me and when you've heaid my story yen 11 agree with me te the letter ; if you don't I won't ask you te help me a bit. Just hand nie your knitting and I'il knit and talk ; I was in such a huiry te get heie this morning that I forget my work. I can't talk, though, unless 1 am doing something." Betsey then pioceedtd te lay the srhenu: beieie her triend, who, when she had concluded, net only agreed te help l;or, but ettered sonic very valuable suggestions. Se eager were they with their plans that the neon hour slipped by and e o'clock came before either of them thought of dinner. jNexl morning jjctsey aim barau wcie again together, this time prcp.it cd for a j walk. Beth these ladies were Congrega Cengrega j tieualists aud many of their neighbors l were surprised te soe them s'ep at the i house of Eliza Simmen, one of the ' stauuchcst sisteis of the Methodist persua , sien. It couldn't have been ever an hour , befeic the town was alive with the news. ', The Orthodox were shocked, the Meth I edists opened their eyes in wonder, while tne inipiists steed asute m nicnilicu ti- ( l.mce. Fer one whole day the peep'c . talked of nothing but this breach of see , tarian etiquette. The next day they had something else te talk about. These three ladies in company with Mar garet Stiles, another Methodist sister, called upon the Weet - sisters, Mary and .Martha, two of the leading ladies of the Baptist society. They net only vailed. but they stayed all the foicueon and took j dinner. This was en Saturday. On Sunday these six ladies occupied Miss Bailey' . pew in the Congregational church. The little fieck was se astonished that they paid but little attention te the sermon, and the minister went home with the feeling that net a dozen people in the whole con gregation could tell what his text was. Bosworth was new in a state of intense excitement. Such a thing had never 1 ap pened before. Many of the Congregation Cengregation Congregatien alists called en Miss Betsey and en Miss S;ii-ah, but all they could find out was that the ladies went with them by special invi tation. On Thuisday night the six ladies at tended class-meeting at the Methodist ves try. Net only that, but Miss Jenkins and Miss Maitha cliles both took patt in the meeting. What was te be done '.' Something, cer tainly, for this state of things could net exist long. The Baptists visited the Mis ses Stiles, but all the information they could get was that they went te both places by invitation, aud that Maitha fel& moved te speak at the latter place, and did se.. Aud the Methodists were no wiser for having called upon the erring sisteis. The next Tuesday saw mere mixing of the sects, and Monday night there was a gathering at Mrs. Betsey's residence of all the ladies engaged in the conspiracy. Six teen ladies were present, and waS it chance ? all were maiden ladies of fifty years and ever. Frem this time forward there was a great intimacy between these ladies. In vain they tticd te induce ethers tojeii them ; at the end of three months their baud still numbered only sixteen. Betsey and Sarah talked the matter ever and concluded te open another chapter of their plan. They wer&uet disappointed in getting only sixteen ladies te join them ;in fact that was nearly double the number they had hoped te get in the beginning. A few days later a notice appeared en the deer of the Baptist stoietethc effect that it had been sold te Miss Betsey Bailey. About the same time one ap pealed en the Congrcgatienalist store, say ing it had been sold te Miss Sarah Jenkins Beth stores were closed, and the people all had le no te the only remaining store in town, the Methodist, if they would buy anything. Beth the ladies next called en the Meth odist brother, and he readily agreed te take all the goods from the ether stores if he could thereby get the whole tiade of the town. He knew from bitter experi ence that one stoic was all the town could support, and he at once began te help the ladies in their scheme, though he was net aware of the part he was taking, looking only at the fact that he could make mere money by the change. This plan of the ladies was a partial success, for the inhabitants fell right into this ariangemcnt because they could net help i Still they would net visit, nor attend any but their own church ; and three months mere passed and still only the six teen maiden sisters belonged te the visit ing company. Se .chapter number three was opened. One morning the train brought te the village a very pretty young lady and four large tutnks. Such "a thing was net a common occurrence, and the depot loung ers seen spread the news, stating also that Jii?s Jiailey was. there te meet her, and that the young lady called her auntie. It seen came out who she was and it was rumored that her stay in Bosworth might be permanent. one was me daughter et jiiss Uaiiey s sister, who had died when Kosie was only four years old. Miss Baile' claimed the child then, but the lather wished her te remain with his folks, and Miss Bailey was of course feieed te give up her claim for the child. Her father was new dead, and she had come te live with Aunt Bet sey, whom she had always loved as a mother. At first she was rather lonely, but when Monday night came and with it the meeting of the sixteen unscctarian maidens, &he had enough te think of. She was of course admitted te the council, and was much amused at the st:tte of se ciety. When the meeting adjourned said te iieraunt : she ' Don't the young people isit '.'" "JSet eHtside le of the denominations te i:ng." which thev bel " j)idn't a Baptist ever m.'.irv a Metho dist, or something of that seit '.'" "Xet within the memory of the eldest inhabitant."' " I don't see hew it is possible that a town can survive with such goings en." said Mis-5 1!em mine teherelf than te her an in. ' W don't sin live, we nieicly exist. Tiie town has been worse than dead ever since I have been heie, and we maiden ladies have been trying te de something te improve it." "I think, auntie, you have done well, but you have started at the wrong end. Let me try and li-dp you ?' " Ceitaiulyyeu can. I have hoped ever since I get your letter that you would help us in some way when you came. De whatever you wish, and I will lend all the aid in my power." Kosie did i et uiilelii her plan te her aunt, but at once began te cairy it out. The next Sunday saw her at ilie Congre gational chinch, diessed in the most be coming maimer, and every one pronounced her the piettiest girl they had ever seen. After church she went te the ttnday ttnday schei'l, learning the names of all the veuug gentlemen and ladies of her own age. Next Sunday she was af the Baptist f chin eh attending chinch anil Sunday- school. Aud the ne-a w:ts devote,! te the .Methodist society. Then there was astir. Miss Ke-ie An dcixin was going tn rive a paity at her aunt's (Miss Bailey's; lcsidciice, and had sent notes of invitation te all the young paople of the town, Without regaid te sett. The invitations were given out a month before the time of the party, se that every one had a chance te talk it ever, a; Kosie said, and get their ininds'madc. up. The Sunday following the giving out f the invitations the soprano nt the Baptist chm eh was sick, and tin; fact net being known till nearly time for meeting, no one could "no found te sing. Uesie was present aud when she heaid of tiie dillieulty vel -untccred te sing for tiiem. The leader gladly accepted her eiier, net stepping te think what t!.e geed people would sav when thev saw a 'oiigrc'.';it:eiui!i-t in ti i. i , choir. When -4hey lese te sing the opening piece, Kosie steed in full sight of the con gregation. The minister looked horrified. while the deacons ceveied their faces with I thcirhands te think that the Baptists sheit'd jietse low as te allow a C'ongiegatienalist te sing in their sunetuaiy. But when she sang the sole which Jell te her, the hands . dropped from the faces of the deacons and the expiessien el tli minister's lace i pleasure.

I think when any one has talents they should be used fei the hcnrlit of all who may need them." '.My idea et it exactly,"' raid the minis, ler, and the two walked out of the church and down the street together. Meeting Miss Biiley near her i cadence, Mr.'lSuHh I was introduced te her mnl complimented her upon living such a pleasant and ac complished young lady in her family ; he hoped that he might, have the pleasure of seeing both the ladies pie.-, nt. occasionally at his church Kosie sang again at the Baptist church the next Sunday, as the regular singer was net well enough te attend. When she tese in her seat she had the satisfaction of seeing many Methodists and Cengrcga tienalists in the audience, and, although she lelt a ceitain ptide in thinking that thev came te hear her sing, she felt hap pier at the thought that she was te j be the means of cairying out her aunt's! scheme. i That evening the Methodists had a Sun- ' day school concert, and Kosie played their ! organ. She was new en the best of terms - with all the young people of the village, aud had no doubt that her party would be a success. Aud it was. Mere than liftv were in at tendance, which included every young t ladv and gentleman m town. Aunt Betsey , eutuia iierseil in piepaimg tne supper. Everything was periect, even the icecream from the city, which wa.- a gieat luxury te the villager. At 12 o'clock the party broke up, and Resie. by her managing, sent several Methodist maidens home with Baptist beaux, and otherwise mixed up the sects and sexes at her will. A lew days after the pair j Miss li.iilcv was surprised te leccive a visit from Mrs. i Bush, wife of the Baptist minister. They i spent a very pleasant hour together, when they were interrupted by Mis. Deacon j Wilsen, el" the Methodist church, aud both ladies remained te t-a. The ice was new i broken, and calling between the dineient t sects was as common as though it was net ' a new thing for Bosworth. Everything new working te Res-ie's sat- j isfactien, she had time te think of her own troubles. hen she came te Bes worth she was by no means a happy girl. Her fathei was a very strict man "and a young gentleman te whom she was quite partial had net found favor in his eyes, much te t!M mutual grief of the young people. Her father's .sickness had been quite long and se close was her seclusion till the time of his death that she had net seeu Edward Bentley. nor did she see him befere she came te Bosworth. She had written te her acquaintances, but the only knew that he had graduated from college and gene away. About this time, Mr. Bush's health fail ing, he asked for a year's vacation, agree ing te fill the pulpit during his absence. This leave was, of course granted, and the congregation were waiting anxiously for the new minister. All thev knew was that he was a yettng man and came from a church iu the city of Alliston. where he was the colleague of the Rev. Dr. How Hew land, one of the most eminent preachers of the Baptist persuasion. Of cenrsc thwy expected something of mere than ordinary ability, nor were they disappointed. But with the sermon we have nothing te de. They wished te make a geed im pression upon the minister, se Kosie was sought out and invited te sing for them. With her usual geed nature she at once accepted. Her position was such that she could net see the minister from where she sat, but when the choir rose te sing she found herself standing face te face with Edward Bentley. Te say that she was surpiiscd would net half express her feelings. She turned first white, then red, and finally sank back into her seat utterly powerless te sing a note. The minister of course knew nothing of this little affair of the srallerv. for the j singers went en with the anthem after a j moment's hesitation, and by the time they i came te the sole which Kosie was te sing. ( she was ready te go en with her part. As her voice rang out clear and soft, a leek of .startled surprise was noticed en the minis ter's face, and a few. at least, of the con gregation weie aware that something ex- traeniinary had happened. Keste, new quite calm, sang her sole sweetly te the end, but when the minister arose te read the opening exercises some thought they observed a slight tremor iu his voice. Only one in the congregation knew why theie was such an earnestness in the prayer that was offered for the bringing together of friends long separated, most of them thinking he had reference te the long sepa ration of the churches of the town. When theservices were ended he hurried from the pulpit and met Kosie as she came down from the gallery. There was a greet ing that rather surprised these of the con gregation who saw it, but a few words of explanation from the pastor set their minds right, and before night the whole town knew that Kosie was the affianced wife of Edward Bentley, the new Baptist minister, and that it was a love alf.iir et long stand ing. Everybody went te the wedding, which was in the Congregational church, and everybody went te the reception at Miss Bailey's, which was the grandest alfiair Bosworth had ever known. At the end of the year Kosie bade fare- well le the little town te go te her city home. But even she, se far distant from the little village, will ever have pleasant memories of the assistance she gave, in the leiigietts revolution of Bosworth through the enterprise of sixteen old maids. A I.nv le keep I'liHilrvii Out or Alms houses. At the last meeting of the Peer Dhec Dhec ters" association, held at Harrisburg last September, a committee consisting of J. Macliu Scbafer. of Pittsburgh ; Lewis Pughc, of ocninten ; Dr. Dillcr Luther, IJ. F. Cox, of Lancaster; J. "It.
