The Book-Keeper's Dream.
BY JOHN W. EDDY.
The day had Wearily worn to its close,
And night had come down with its needed re-
pose,
As a book-keeper wended his way from the
store—
Glad that his toilsome hours were o'er.
The night was cheerless and dismal and damp,
And the flickering flame of the dim street lamp
Went out in the rough, wild gusts that beat
With furious speed through the gloomy street.
Tired and cold, with pain-throbbing head,
lie sank to repose in his lonely bed ;
,
Still through his brain, as the book keeper
slept,
Visions of debtor and creditor crept.
The great balance-sheet he had finished that
day,
And profit and loss, in the usual way,
Showed how much money the merchant had
made
Or lost in the preceding twelve month's trade,
And he dreamed that night, that an angel came
With the ledger of life—and against his name
Were charges, until there was no rOom to spare
And nothing whatever was credited there
There were life and its blessings—as intellect,
health,
There were charges of time, opportunities,
wealth,
Of talents for good, of friendship the best,
Of nourishment, joys, of affection and rest.
And hundreds of others, and each one as great
All with interest accrued from the time of
their date,
Till, despairing of e'er being able to pay,
The book-keeper shrank from the angel away I
But the angel declared that the account must
be paid,
And protested it could not be longer delayed ;
The book keeper sighed, and began to deplore
How meagre the treasure he'd laid up in store.
fled cheerfully render him all he possessed,
And give him a note on demand for the rest,
Then quickly the angel took paper, and wrote
The following as an acceptable note :
"On demand, without grace, from the close of
to-day,
For value received, I promise to pay
To Him who has kept me, and eN 7 ery-where
Has guarded my soul with an infinite care—
"Whose blessings outnumber the drops of the
ocean—
While living, the sun of my heart's best de-
votion.
In witness. whereof, to be seen of all men,
I affix the great seal of the soul's AMEN 1"
The book-keeper added his name to the note,
While the angel across the great ledger-page
wrote,
Tn letters as crimson as human gore—
SETTLED IN FULL—and was never seen more
* * * * * * * *
When the night had rolled back cud its shad-
ows were gone,
And a roseate morn had blushed into dawn,
On the swift wings of faith rose the incense of
prayer
From the altar God's angel had sanctified there
Zhe tor -` ell
DEATH OR MARRIAGE.
The ancient clock in Deacon Shernier's
old-fashioned kitchen was slowly chiming
the hour of nine. It was no smart boy, no
trifle of bronze or alabaster, but a tall,
square solid relic of the last century, look
ing not unlike a coffin case set on end in
the corner—a clock that lasted through
four generations, and, judging from ap
pearances, was quite likely to last through
several more. Deacon Shermer cherished
the old heirloom with a sort of pride which
he himself would have scarcely confessed to.
There was a great ruddy fire of chest
nut logs in the red brick fire-place ; and
the candles in the brightly polished brass
sticks were winking merrily from the high
wooden mantel, where they shared the post
of honor with a curious sea shell and a
couple of vases, each containing a fresh
osage orange from the hedge that skirted
the clover field behind the barn. At the
window a curtain of gaudy chintz shut out
the tens of thousands of stars that were
shining brightly on that autumnal night,
and on the cosy rug of parti-colored rags
a fat tortoise shell cat was not the only in
habitant of the farm house kitchen.
"Timothy !" said Mary Shermer, de
cidedly, "if you don't behave yourself
What she would do Mary did not say ;
the sentence was terminated by a laugh
that set the dimples around her mouth in
motion, just as a beam of June sunshine
plays across a cluster of red ripe cherries.
Mary Shermer was just seventeen—a
plump, rosy girl with jet black hair, brush
ed back from a low forehead, and perfectly
arched eyebrows, that gave a bewitching
expression of surprise to a pair of melting
hazel eyes. She was rather dark; but the
severest critic would not have found 'fault
with the peach-like bloom upon her cheeks,
and the dewy-red of her full daintily curv
ed lips. Evidently Mr. Timothy Marsh
all was quite satisfied with Mary's peculiar
style of beauty.
"Come Mary !" said Tim, moving his
chair where be could best watch the flush
of the fire-light upon her face, and picking
up the thread of the conversation where
he had dropped it • when it became neces
sary for Mary to bid him "behave himself,"
"you might promise. It's nine o'clock and
your father will soon be home."
"Promise what, Tim ?" said Mary de
murely, fitting a square of red in her
patchwork, and intently observing the ef
fect.
"Nonsense, Mary ! You know what,
very well. Promise to marry me before
Christmas ! I tell you what, Mary, it's
all very well for you to keep putting a fel
low off, but I can't stand it. What with
your father's forbidding me the house, and
that romantic Tom Stanley's coming here
every Sunday night
Mary gave her pretty bead a toss.
"As if Mr. Stanley's coming here made
any difference in my feelings, Tim !"
"No ; but Mary, it isn't pleasant, you
know. I'm as good a man as Tom Stan
ley, if I don't own railroad shares and
keep account at the Hamilt.onville bank ;
I love you, Mary, from the bottom of
my heart ! Now this matter lies between
you and me only ; no other person in the
world has a right to interfere between us.
Come—promise me I" He held both her
hands in his and looked earnestly into the
liquid hazel eyes.
"Do you love me, Mary ?"
"You know I love you, Tim." •
"Then we may just as well—hush, what's
that ?"
There was a portentous sound of draw
ing bolts, and rattling latches in the porch
room beyond—a scraping of heavy boots
along the floor.
"Oh, Tim, it's father !"?
"Suppose it is ?"
"But he mustn't find you here. Tim !
Hide yourself somewhere, do !"
"W hat nonsense, Nary !" said the young
man, resolutely standint , his ground. "I
haven't come to steal his spoons. Why
should I creep away like a detected burg
lar ?"
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1874.
"For my sake, Tiui. If you ever loved
me, do as I say! Not in that closet; it
is close to his bed-room, not through that
window; it is nailed down tight. lie is
coming ! here, Tim, quick !"
And in the drawing of a breath, she
had pushed Timothy Marshall into the
square pendulum case of the tall old clock,
and turned the key upon him. It was not
a pleasant place of refuge, inasmuch as
his shoulders were squeezed on either side,
and his head flattened against springs and
wheels above, and the air was unpleasant
ly close ; but Tim made the best of mat
ters, and shook with suppressed laughter
in Lis solitary prison cell.
"Well ! a jolly scrape to be in," thought
Tim, "and no knowing when I'll be out of
it. Mary's a shrewd little puss, however,
and I can't do better than to leave matters
in her hands."
"So you haven't gone to bed yet, Mary ?"
said Deacon Sheriner, slowly unwinding
the two yards of wool-scarf with which he
generally encased his throat of an evening.
•"\ot yet, father," said Mary, picking
up the scattered bits of patch-work with a
glowing cheek. "Did you have a pleasant
meeting ?"
"Well, yes," quoth the Deacon, reflec
tively, sitting down befbre the fire greatly
to Mary's consternation—she had hoped
he would have gone to bed at once, accord
ing to his usual custom. "It was tol'bly
pleasant. Elder Huskier was there, and
Elder Hopkins, and—well, all the church
folks, pretty much. Why, bow red your
cheeks are, Mary ! Tired, ain't you. Well,
you needn't sit up for me, my dear ; it
must be getting late."
Deacon Shermer glanced mechanically
round at the clock. Mary felt the blood
grow cold in her cams. "Twenty minutes
past nine—why, it must be later than
that ! Why, land o' Canaan ! the old
clock has stopped !" The old clock had
stopped; nor was it wonderful under the
circumstances. "I wound it up this mor
nin', I'm sartin," said the deacon very
much disturbed. "It never served such a
trick afore, all the years it stood there.—
Your Aunt Jane used to say it was a sign
of a death or a marriage in the family be
fore the year was out."
There was a suppressed sound like a
chuckle behind the clock case as Deacon
Shermer fumbled on the shelf for the
clock key. "These springs must be out of
order somehow," said the Deacon, decis
ively. "How scared you look, child !
There ain't no cause being scared. I don't
pit no faith in your Aunt Jane's old-time
superstition. Where, in the name of all
possessed, is that key ? I could ha' decla
red I left it on the case."
"Isn't it on the shelf, father ?" asked
Mary, guiltily consc'mus that it was snugly
reposing in the pocket of her checkered
gingham dress.
"No, nor 'taint in my pocket neither."
And down went the Deacon, stilly enough
on his knees to examine the floor, lest per
chance the missing key might have fallen
there.
"Well, I never knowed anything so
strange in all my life," said the Deacon.
"It is strange,"' faltered hypocritical
Mary.
"I'll have a regular search to-morrow,"
said Deacon Shunter. "It must be some
where around."
"Yes, it must," said Mary, tremulously.
"Only," the Deacon went on slowly, re
suming his place before the fire, "I kind
o' don't like to have the old clock stand
idle a single night. When I wake up,
you know, it seems like it was sort o' talk
ing to me in the stillness." The Deacon
looked thoughtfully at the fiery backlog.
Mary fidgeted uneasily about the room,
straightening table covers, setting back
chairs, and thinking—oh ! if he would
only go to bed.
As - he sat there, his eyelids began to
droop, and his head to nod solemnly,
Mary's eyes lighted up with a sparkle of
hope.
"Child," he said, suddenly straightening
himself up in his stiff backed chair, "you'd
better go to bed. I'll sit up a while longer
till the log burns out."
"But father, I'm not sleepy."
"Go to bed, my child," reiterated the
deacon with a good humored authority
that brooked no opposition; and Mary crept
out of the room, ready to cry with anxiety
and mortification.
"If Tim will only keep quiet a little
while longer," she thought sitting on the
stairs where a newly risen moon streamed
in chilly splendor. "Father sleeps so sound
ly—and he is sure to go to sleep in his
eliair, I could just steal in and release him
as quietly as possible."
She set there, her plump fingers inter
laced, and her eye fixed dreamily on the
floor, while all the time her ears were
strained to the utmost capacity to catch
every sound in the kitchen beyond. Hark !
was that the wail of the wind ? or was it
something to her literally "nearer and
dearer ?" Yes, she could not be mistaken ;
it was actually a snore.
Mary rose softly to her feet With renew
ed hope. Surely now was the accepted
time. Noiselessly as the floating shadow,
she crossed the hall, opened the kitchen
door, and stole across the creaking floor.
The candle was burned out, but the shift
ing lustre of the firelight revealed her
father nodding. ' over the fire, with closed
eyes and hands hanging by his sides.
With a heart that beat quick and east,
like the strokes of a miniature hammer,
she drew the key from her dress pocket,
and proceeding, in spite of the nervous
trembling of her fingers, to get it in the
lock. So absorbed was she in the task
that she never noticed the sudden cessa
tion of the heavy breathing—never saw
the deacon start suddenly into wakefulness
and look around him. Love is blind, and
equally true, it is deaf. The deacon rose
quietly up, with a shrewd twinkle in his
eyes, and Mary gave a little frightened
shriek as a hand fell softly on her arm,
possessing itself quietly of the key.
"Let me help you," said Deacon Sher
mer.
"Father, I—l round the key," faltered
Mary.
"Pound the key, eh ?" returned the
deacon, "well, that% lucky ; and now we
can find out what's the matter with the
clock."
Mary's heart throbbing so wildly a mo
ment or two ago. seemed to stand abso
lutely still, as Deacon Shermer started
the key and opened the tall door of the
clock case.
"Hal—lo !" ejaculated Deacon Shermer,
as Mr. Timothy Marshall tumbled laugh
ingly into the room. "So you was the mat
ter with the old clock, eh ?"
"Yes, sir," said Tim, composedly. "I
hope I haven't interfered with the works
of the clock."
"You've seriously interfered with me,"
said the deacon, waxing indignant.
"What do you mean, sir, by hiding in
my house like a thief?"
'"lndeed ! indeed father," cried Mary,
bursting into tears, "It wasn't his fault.
lie didn't want to hide, but I put him
there."
"You did, eh ? and may I ask what
for ?"
"Father," faltered Mary, rather irrev
ereutly, "I love him and he loves me 1" •
"Is that any reason why be should hide
in tho clock case, Miss ?"
"No—but—father ! I can never, never
marry Mr. Stanley. He is so soft, and
I—" Mary's tears finished the sentence
for her. The deacon looked down, not
ur
k-indly, on her bowed bead, and the tender
arm that supported it. Apparently the
course of true love" roughly though it ran,
was overwhelming all his own worldly-wise
arrangements in its tide.
"And you two young folks really think
you love each other," said the deacon, med
itatively.
"I love her with all my heart and soul,"
said Tim Marshall, earnestly. "I am not
rich, I know, but I can work for her."
"And I can work for myself, too, fath
er„ interposed Mary, with tears that shone
like softened stars.
"And you said yourself, sir," went on
Tim, "that the stopping of the clock meant
either a 'marriage or a death.' Of course,
we don't want any de..ths. so don't you
think the most sensible thing we can do
is to help on a marriage as soon as possi
ble ?"
The deacon laughed in spite of himself.
"It's late," he said, "come around to•nior
row morning, and we'll talk about it. No,
Mary, I'm nut angry with you child. I
s'pose young folks will be young folks, and
there's no use tryin' to stop them !"
The deacon re hung the pendulum, and
set the iron tongue of the old clock talk
ing again . Tim Marshall paused on the
front doorstep to whisper to Mary :
"What should it he, Mary, a death or a
marriage?"
And she in return whispered, "a mar
riage, I lope."
"My darling !" said Tim, "it's worth
passing a lifetime behind the clock case to
feel as I do now !"

The Juniata Valley Camp Meeting.
[From the DAILY JounNAL of Wednesday last.]
The first religious exercises of the Ju
niata Valley Cutup Meeting were held yes
terday evening. The ringing of the bell
at 7i o'clock brought a goodly crowd of
worshippers together in the old circle, the
number being much larger than at the
opening on previous years. The old battle
hymn of Methodism :
'There is a Fountain filled with blood, etc.,"
was sung as a voluntary, and the woods re
verberated with the genuine sound of
praise that came swelling. up from the
throats of the singers. This was followed
Py the first hymn :
"0, for a thousand tongues to sing
Great Redeemer's praise,"
led by Bro. F. M. Bell, o• Tyrone, to the
good old air of "Coronation." Rev. M. K.
FoSter, P. E. of' tho Juniata District., then
led in prayer. His petition was uttered
in au eloquent and devout manner, and
he earnestly implored the Divine Majesty
to preside over the meeting and bless His
people. After the prayer, the hymn
"Jesus, lover of my soul,"
was sung as a voluntary, at the conclusion
of which the Presiding Elder mode and
announced that there would be no preach
ing this evening, but simply some general
remarks, and advice would be given. He
expressed himself highly gratified that, so
many were present at the first meeting,
and he advised them to "tarry at Jeru
salem until endowed with power from on
high," and that the desired power must
emanate from the Divine source, and that
only. lle intimated that there were sonic
who were prepared to carry on the work of
the enemy,but lie felt assured that the peo
ple of God came up to this place equipped
with the whole panoply and armor of God.
"I want," said lie, "this meeting to be
a grand success." Amen l resounded
from every part of the congregation.
He thanked God that one of His
people had the power to chase a thous
and, and two to put ten thousand to
flight; and expressed the desire that this
might be the greatest camp meeting ever
held, and with the prophet, warned the
people not to be at ease in Zion. He urg
ed the necessity of all being in earnest in
the great work before them, viz : The con
version of sinners and the promotion of
the cause of God, and to be in the spirit,
charitable, not fault-finding, but make the
best of those precious moments, admonish
ing God's people that they had friends
out of Christ who had claims upon them
for their prayers for their soul's salvation.
He then referred to to the rules, and re
quested each one to read them carefully,
in order that there might be complete de
corum and order in the camp. Prayer
meeting was announced for 8 o'clock this
morning, to be led by Rev. M. L. Smith,
and preaching by the Rev. H. C. Pardue.
of Hollidaysburg, at 101 o'clock. The
services were closed by singing
"0 for a faith that will not shrink"
and a most eloquent prayer by Rev. A. W,
Decker, after wlch the Doxology,
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow,"
was sung, and the benediction pronounced
by Rev. Foster.
So as the majority of our readers are
concerned, a description of the JUNIATA
VALLEY CAMP is unnecessary. Most of
them are acquainted with the locality, and
not a few have spent previous seasons of
soul-profit and spiritual pleasure upon its
hallowed grounds. But there arc, no
doubt, some who have never had this
privilege, and hence we deem a brief re
ferenee to the Camp and its surroundings
altogether proper at this time.
The Camp occupies a beautiful grove.
near the lint of the Pennsylvania railroad,
opposite Newton Hamilton Station, in
Mifflin county. The tents are built of
boards, two-stories high, and covered with
shingles. They number three hundred
and seventy-five, and are arranged in three
squares, or circles, as they are commonly
called, and are all occupied The two
extreme squares have each stands and
seats for congregational services. The
centre one is supplied with a large build
ing called "The Tabernacle," capable of
seating from eight hundred to one thous
and persons. This is intended for special
services and preaching during rains or
storms. The Boarding House is situated
on the south side of the Camp, and is very
complete in all its parts. Five hundred
persons can be seated at one time at com
fortable tables, numbered in regular order.
The Commissary Department is attached
to this building,-nnd is for the supplying
of all the necessaries for the tent holders.
The Restaurant is located on the north
side of the Camp, and is capable of feed
ing two hundred persons at one time.—
The sleeping apartments are over the up
per floor of the building. The Ace of
the Association, the Book More, Baggage
Room, office of the DAILY JOURNAL, livr
her Shop, and other appurtenances for the
comfort and convenience of the Association
and tent-holders, arc also on this side
of the camp. The walks are comfort
able, and the promenades very delightful.
Railroad facilities are goo-l. The water it
excellent, and the supply bountiful. A
complete history of the camp will be pub
lished as soon as the data c.in be found.

Its took a bad cobd standing the door of
the Evangelical Alliance Lott October.—
Since then he bas been lingering on, sonic
times better and sometimes worse'. until
now he is dead. You may think you see
him again, but it will be wily the ghost of
his former self. The fact is that he has
been for a long while failing in health.—
He has had some very bad falls on the
platform of the American Tract Society.
and American Sunday. School Union, and
American Board of Foreign Missions. In
those places old Dr. Cofl, George B. S tuart, .
William E. Dodge, and others, have rather
delighted to trip him up. Besides this he
has been very much reduced in strength
by a spare diet. Refusing to take the
strong meat of the word and the bread of
life, he has confined himself to ereeds and
liturgies and catechisms. He got weaker
and weaker until now he is dead.
A post-mortem examination revealed the'
fact that his spleen was very much en-
larged, and his liver was surcharged with',
bile, and the two alarmir.g protuberances
on his head turned out to be a couple of
horns in state of embryo. No public an
nouncement was made either of his decease
or his burial. The overseer of the poor
took charge of his remains, he did not
leave enough to pay his funeral expenses.
Bishop Cummins, J. Hyatt Smith. Father
Hyacinth, and old Dr. Tyng served as pall
bearers. not because they had any *fleeting,
for the departed, Lut because they thought
it better to get him out of the way. The
funeral sermon was preached from a text
in the Old Testament : "Buried with the
burial of an ass ; drawn forth and cast be
yond the streets of -Jerusalem. - Reps.'s

A Colored Bishop at Camp Meeting.
A writer in the Erortge/ist gives an
account of the sermon of Bishop Camp
bell, of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church. We quote :
The second evening of the meeting
Campbell (colored), of Philadelphia. gave
an extempore address that swayed the
whole audience as by a mighty whirlwind
of eloquence. The Bishop is heavy and
short in build, and perfectly black, with
the whitest of eye-balls ann teeth. He
seemed to forget all but his theme, and
that sinners were before him. His text
was, "I bring him forth to you that ye
may know that I find no fault in him."—
The emphatic words "ao fault in hiar"
came thundering out after every pause in
his powerful arguments Bishops an 1
and clergy shook with alternate laughter
and tears as they listened, ejaculatia:z
"Glory, glory, hallelujah !" The picture of
the divine and blessed Redeemer of o•ar
lost world, as he painted it, came oat
grander and grander at every touch of
that black hand, and ho fairly sprang from
his feet when the thoughtseemed too mud)
for human utterance. The scene and im
pression was just wonderful. The same
Bishop gave his experience at loveleast,
and little groups gathered about hint after
the services to hear his convers►tion. Ile
was the man of the hour.
An Outside View of Camp Meeting.
A Presbyterian correspondent of the
Evangelist, writing from Round Lake
Camp Meeting, says :
Presbyterians will have to resume their
old practices ; and the other evangelical
denominations—Con , :regationalists. Bap
tists, etc.—join in ; or the people, with
such attractions as these, at the priers al
forded to Churches, will turn Methodist
in the summer time. The advantages and
attractions of fashionable watering place*
are a long way behind.
The whole aim of the multitude, rich
and poor, young and old, bishops and lay
men, is "Nearer, my God, to Thee." The
very names of the encampments are sa
cred. They are like the stones that Jacob
set up in the place where God blevied him.
Thousands point to Round Lake. Ocean
Grove, Sea Cliff, Martha's Vineyard. and
say, "There God met me face to face."
In Madagascar there are said to be halt'
a million of professing Cbristienl, 20,000
children arc at school, some 700 churches,
and the Bible has been translated, and
many books written, in Malagasy, and more
than 150,000 books in that vernacular sold
every year. Besides building their ewe
churches and supporting their ministers,
the native Christians maintain 120 evan
gelists in the outlying districts. The Gov
ernment has absorbed Christianity into its
system, after b to stamp it out by
bitter persecution. And this ig the result
of less than fifty years.
