The sweet midsummer eve closed In, and
the gray of the night came en. Htrangers
from tba foreign land of Kngland wondered
aa they drove home from thelr day'a ex.
ouralenlng at the taucy or tbe peasants ler
aettlng light te the gerae everywhere.
All The young (usltreuglia ware out In the
greunda with Willie and bis friends. Mr.
ijualtreugb, gray-headed and wise, went out
loe. Perhaps he laughed ever It all, but there
had never been a midsummer eve he enuld
recollect without the burning of the witch
nrea. Ne, Indeed ; and If hta children had
abewn themselves very advanced In tba
common aenae of the age and neglectful of
the old eustnins, he, geed man, would have
been Just one degree uncomfortably sur
prised. They had all had a merry supper Man
folk are primitive, and supper ta net yet
wholly cast Inte oblivion and then all went
out. two or the tins Threw ngnt ana wis
ever their heads, Ntswte stuck en a gray felt
batel ber lather's, and they went gayly
around the beuae and through the unkempt
luxurious Dewer garden : then threagh the
kitchen garden, where monstrous cabbages
sheeted the beds with their crumpled outer
leavea ; where the strawberries blinked rosy
from amid the tangle of long suckers : where
alleys were made by trained apple trees,
wbeaa green young fruit premised Joya te
lada and maids In the dsys toceme.
"Abt" suddenly yeuug I'hllllpaen ex
claimed. "The Cerrln'e fire at IUlIasaggan!" and
Mr. Wualtreugu turned round. There had
come a golden, springing, Hashing tight en
his glaaa houses.
"Horrid!" Neaale exclaimed angrily, "and
eura net alight yet Jim Is horrid! I
eptcially eave lilm orders te light up early,
because Mena Cerrln declared they'd have
tbe tlnest abew, I'll be sneaking te him to
morrow morning."
"De. dear, de." ber cousin Willie aald.
"1 wllL" And she ran en. In a moment
ahe was aeen Hying up te the wooden ladder,
which led up te what tbey called thelr look
out, a square miniature tower which gave a
firana iew ever miles anamuesei iarm
anda, of distant mountains, of western sea,
and a alght of all for strangers et one bit et
savage, storm-battered Calf of Man.
'HI rand!" ahe cried joyously. "Grand!
We're alight new! Kb! I'll net heed Mena
having the start ; we'll be far tbe finest."
A pale golden tire began te shimmer en a
nearby bill ; It spread and spread until
verily tbe whole et thu hillside was a tricksy
Hashing danea of tire.
Our gorse Is net tberfc?" Deyle wondered.
"KbT Ne. This Is my private business.
Jim and 1 did this In tbe morning."
'Me! This Is hew Jim does bis weeding?"
her lather began.
Yes. That'll be his manner of weeding
en midsummer eve! He couldn't de leaa
than obey bla mlslresT '
"Ne, Mr. rnllllpann," she went en, "the
hits of fuel we get this morning are en the
ether aide. lk! 1 saw Jim run across
only two minutes age; he'll be lighting It
up new."
Hhe waa right A hlllecky llftel tbe land
waa spsngled til at once with patches of
llama, ruddy Maine, golden rUtue, lltuietbat
sputtered and liual as It masUred the Juices
of the green bracken.
We hae an extra grand show te night,
gills," Mr. (Jualtrnugh began. "Who shall
say our old customs are dying out? Hut I
expect It la aa much In your honor aa In that
or tbe fairies and witches," he nodded te the
young men.
Tbey, seated like tbe girls, en tbe battle
ments et tbe miniature tower, were gazing
bare and there, as one quarter and another
wss made alight. Ileaceus, like stars, blaied
out far awav. Kvldently the whole neighbor
hood waa of one mind.
We will net accept that Idea te night, air,"
Deyle answered. "Ne, no ; let us net tenjpt
the Kiwers. Hut can we net go among It all?
Twe minutes will take us where Jim is."
"Oh! If you like."
He they left tbe gardens and tramped ever
a Held te the btlleuky ridge. There waa a
geed deal of talking and laughing, at might
be supposed, but among It all Meta was
again silent. Hhe was wearing ber one tnarsb
marigold stuck under her chin, aa a girl
might wear a breech. Hhe was very carelul
of it, keeping ber light wrap well away from
it. What danger of cold could there ba ou
aucb a aweetly warm summer night?
Hhe lingered tiehmd. Hut among aucb a

Neaale waa by Jim and talking hard and

Manx fashion.

Frem the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The family of Jehn H. llruner, a fruit
dealer, living en Mackinaw street, a amall
thoroughfare In tbe Tenth ward had a most
remarkable experience with a large black
bat one night last week. Tbe family had re
tired a little earlier than usual, and In con
sequence of the extreme beat had all tba
second story windows thrown wide open.
At about 11 o'clock the two little daughters
of Mr. llruner were awakened by aema
black object tluttering above the bedstead.
Tbey thought nothing of It at first, but the
strange Intruder kept buzzing about tbe bed
ae long that they became thoroughly fright
ened and began te cry. Tbe father, wbe waa
In the next room, lighted a candle end
walked lu te see what was tbe matter with
the children. Te bla great surprise be be
held what he descrlbea as " a large, hideous
blsck bat, " Hying wildly about tbe room.
The appearatice of tbe light appeared te
daze the bird, and fully carried out tbe
theory of naturalist that tbe hat cannot aee
In tbe light. At all events, It tlutlered and
spluttered about the room, knocking up
against bureaus, picture framea and bed
(Malta as It It bail no eyea at alb Finally It
lull, apparently exhausted, in a corner of tbe
room. Mr. llruner steeped down te pick It
up, with the intention of throwing It out of
tbe window, when aa It by magic, It spread
out ita wings end once mere began a mad
Hlgbt about the room. This time It varitd
Its performance by occasionally striking the
heads of the two little glrla with its ciawt.
Frem time immemorial little girls have been
taught that ita bat ever gets ita clawaln
their hair they will never come nut Hence,
the feelings et the little ones In this instance
can better be imagined than described. Tbey
shrieked and went en every time tbe bat
came within a loot of them until they wbre
fairly worked up te the hysterical point
The head of the family waa very angry by
this time and eecretly vowed that he would
net allow an Inalgullicant little creature like
that te agitate a whole household. Placing

in bisdiiectien aimed a terrific blew at it He
missed the bat, but succeeded in demolishing
two handsome decorated vases that atoed ou
the mantelpiece. In no wlsedisueartened be
leveled a second blew at tbe "pesky critter,"
and thla time managed te hurt tbe coal oil
lamp from the bureau clear en te tbe bed.
Ceuliislnn reigned supreme for awhile. Mr.
Itruner paced about the room In an excited
maimer, while tbe children added te the
general din by shrieking in an unearthly
manner. Just then the bat blindly atumbled
against tbe candle, acercblug its wings and
extinguishing the light
The darkness seemed te help It considera
bly, hut a well directed blew knocked It te
tbe fleer. A light waa procured, and te
makeaureet bla work thla time Mr. Hruner
pounded tbe bat vigorously with tbe leg of
au old chair. Aa It still showed signs of Ufa
It was placed in a bucket of water and the

and that waa all. It had apparently made

Hbew ma a maa'a library, aad I will till
you what kind of a maa ba la. Tbere la no
quicker aad be eurer way of reading a
maa'a character, than simply te read the
Htlaaef bla book
I don't knew whether that haa been
aald by any one alaa before or net Ner
deaa It make mueb diOarenee; It la true
anyhow.
Ner la It true only In tbe very limited
aenae that you can tall a man'e profession or
occupation in Ufa from tha general character
of lha hoeka In bla library. Thla afactae
patent and evident te every one that Ita
statement would baa meretrulam. If I go
Inte a library aad aaa It te ba made up of
abell upon ahell of ealf bound octaves with
blaek and red tltla-labela, el course I knew
that Ita owner la a lawyer, Just aa surely aa
when I notice the theological or mfilleal com
plexion of another 1 conclude tbe owner te
baa minister or a doctor. The Information
thua glyen ma however, Is net what I mean.
It atanda te reason that from the red, yel yel
lew, black, or white complexion et a man I
can tell what raee ba belongs te. But that
doesn't tell ma vary much aa te bia Indi
vidual oharaetar, aa te whether he la a coarse
or a refined, a learned or an Ignorant, a geed
or a bad Indian, Negro, Mongolian, or Can Can
eaalan. He tha general complexion of a
library, while, of oeuraa, It Infertna ma of tha
profession et Ita owner, deaa net In Itself
aurfloete reveal te ma whether he be a geed
or an Indifferent lawyer, doctor, artist, mer
chant, or minister, nor aven te what party,
ecboel, or denomination ba belongs. Fer
thla mera definite knowledge I must bava
opportunity of at least reading the title) of
tba various boeka.
It thla be granted me, tben, In Uve min
utes, 1 will discover, aay In the eaae of tba
physician's library, nrst whether be be allo
pathic homeepetblc, electrepathlc, hydrc
patfalc, or eclectic. Or In tbe case of tha
clergyman, whether he be CatbolloorPtotest CatbelloorPtotest CatbolleorPtotest
ant, Lutheran, Calvlnlst, or Hplsoepalhm,
te what sect or denomination he belongs and
finally te wbat wing, party, or school of tbe
denomination. This ia gathered at a glance.
Hut It still ia only a kind of formal knowl
edge, and gives but little Information aate
tbe man's own Individuality. Te find thla 1
must Inquire a little mere closely.
1 leek brat of all at tbe classification snd
arrangement el the boeka. Far I knew that,
te a certain degree at least, aa tbey are ar
ranged en tbelr abelvea ae are their
aubjecta and contents arranged In the
owner's mind. If there ia no Intel
ligent order, If tbe velumea are simply
plied upon tbe abelvea in a miscellaneous,
haphazard, style, than I am pretty aure that
there la Just as little logical order and rela
tion between facta, principles, and aub
jecta In the man's mind. He la like hla li
brary, a kind of miscellaneous dumping
place for tbe reception of any and all man
ner of knowledge. Ibe knowledge la there,
but It la never " at hand. " It ia mixed up.
Tbe facta wanted at any time, like tba books,
first have te be bunted up, at the expense of
much time and labor. Tbey are seldom
available when needed. Mere than bait
tbelr worth and uaefulnesa la thua lest
On the ether band, If I aee tbe library
divided into departments, all tbe werka en
anatomy, general and special, placed to
gether In systematic order, all these en
physiology likewise, the-een obstetrics, sur
gery, materia medics, .&, I feel aafe in con
cluding that that doctor la clear In bla own
mind as te tbe logical and natural relet lena
In wbicb these departments of science
stand te each ether ; and moreover that be la
of methodical habits in bia thought and
practice. In abort be lain ae far, a scientific
doctor, while tbe presumption la that tba
ether Is a mere empiricist.
In tbe next place, if tbe library ia any.
thing like a considerable one, I leek te aee
whether It ia dead or alive; that Is, whether
It la a thing merely mechanically constructed,
or whether it la an organic growth. Ac
cording aa I tlnd it in this respect will also
be Its owner's mind. Increase ofaizefrem
year te year la net by any means tbe only or
chief Indication. A weed-pile may be In
creased raucb mere rapidly than a growing
tree. Yet Ibe latter is a living, organic,
growth, while tbe former, however bulky,
remains a mere accumulation of dead sticks.
The library el tbe growing, expanding, pro
gressive man Is the index et hla spiritual
development. Ktch department of It, like
the main boughs of every healthy tree, pats
forth from year te year new branehet and
twigs, baa added te It new books, net for tbe
addition's sake, nor ler tbe sake of their
newness only, but from tbe necessity put
upon it by the growth or knowledge in that
department Thla growth U clearly marked
en tbe library abelvea. Heek fellows book
in natar&l, necessary order and succession ;
net disconnectedly or at haphazard. I see
from it tbe order and degree of growth of
the ewner'a mind. I learn that starting from
ear the surface of a subject, It has pene
trated deeper down Inte tbe fundamental
principles, en tbe one band, and stretched
out further and further, from year te year, te
oem prebend all that directly or Indirectly
pertains and la related te It Such a library
makes me acquainted with one wbe keeps
abreast et tbe times, a growing man In tbe
true sense of tbe term.
There are many signs te be Hsen in a li
brary still further Indicative of tbe man's
aeir. II I go Inte a minister's atudy, for ex
ample, and aea nothing but commentaries
and bomllitieal literature, I Judgeblm te be

mainly for the immediate uaea of bla pre.

aet of aubjecta, only partially, only a few of

are all denominational, or all the werka of

tbelr possessor la warped in bla judgment,
preJudleed,and leaking breadth anu liberality
even aa a theologian; and also that be Is
neither an Independent nor an original

depth aud breadth of tha man's general cul
ture, tbe quality of hla mind, and whether

It ia net tbe number of boeka In a library

of the meat singular religious ever formed
In thla oeuntry a history bavlng ita begin
ning in 1710, In that year tba mother

Hsptlsta, or Hunkers, owing te persecutlena
In tba varleua Knrnpean countries, where
It had from time te time aeuaht refusw alnna
tha year 170S when it waa founded by Alex
ander Mack and seven ethers In Hebwartd-
rsnata, usrmany, emigrated te America.
The greater part of tha Danker emigrants
settled In Lancaster county, thla state.
Among tbem waa a (larman named Cenrad
HelseeU He had been a Presbyterian, but
became a convert te the doctrine of tha
Dunkera. In the course of his Investigation
I ..the c'lPlures the establishment
of a Hrst Day Baptist church at Muelbaeh,
or Mill Creek, Lancaster county, Belasel be
came convinced tbst there was an error In
the Hunker acceptance of the day that
aheuld be tbe Lerd'a Day, and
nnouneed that It aheuld be the aevJ
eeth day. Thla led te much discussion and
many of tbe society at Hill Creek accepted
tbe llslasel construction el the Bible en that
point In 1Ti be published a pamphlet set
ting forth his reasons for bis beliel. The pam
phlet called down en hla head the atreng
disapproval of the heada of the First day
BapUat society and Helaael d isappeared. Ne
trace of him could be found ter mere than a
year, and then be waa discovered by acci
dent by one of his disciples living Ins con
tracted cave or cell en the banks of tbe Co Ce
calico creek. Tbe celt bad previously been
occupied by an aged bermlt named Kllme
lecb, wbe bad died.
Immediately following the discovery of
Belsael bla followers left the Mill Creek so
ciety and settled about bla cave, living in
solitary cottages, in imitation of tbe aelltary
life of their apostle. Thev formed a church.
the doctrines et which were almillar tetbat
of tbe society tbey bad left, except that tbey
adopted tbe seventh day aa their Habbslb.
Belasel alae urged but did net enforce
a life or celibacy en bia followers. Ua
formed wbat waa known, bh the " Society et
the Solitary, " and In 1733 a conventional life
was adopted by these wbe chose te take a
vow or celibacy and become lnemle a or
that society, a monastery having
in the meantime been erected. Tbe
garb et the Capuebln or White Friars waa
adopted by both the brethren and sisters
who entered the convent. Monaatle namea
were given te all these wbe chose the
cloister, Belasel becoming Freldaam Got Get
trecht, or Peaceable Ged right Tbe place
where thla peculiar society obtained Its root
bold waa Bpbrata. The convent was erected
en a hill called Mount .Ien. Hubsenuantlv
ether building were erected ss the needa and
new features et tbe society demanded tbem.
Like tbe First Day Baptists, tbey recog
nized tbe strict and literal interpretation of
tbe Bible aa the only rule of faith, adminis
tered Apostollo baptism, wltb trine immer
sion and the laying en or bands and prayer
while the recipient still kneeled in tbe
water, and celebrated the Lerd'a aupper at
night, alter tbe close of the Habbatb, wbicb
was at aunaet en the seventh day, at which
aupper tbey washed one anetber'e feet, aa
the orthodox Dunkera de still. While
preaching celibacy aa a virtue they did net
prohibit marriage.
The convent life el Helssel's followers who
chose tbe Society of the Solitary waa of tbe
severest kind. Tbe cells were bul20iuebes
wide and tbe ceilings but 5 feet blgb. A
bench and a billet el weed ler Uie bead waa
tbe couch or the Inmate of oneet these cells.
The passages that led through the convent
were se narrow tbst two could net pass In
tbem Tbe fare of tbe inmates was fruit and
vegetables. Tbey ate Irem wooden nlatea
and drank rrem wooden goblets. In 1740
there were 45 members et this Society of
tbe Solitary.
Tbeaeeular branch et Helssel's Dunkav'a
aena had one of tbe most thriving sett.e-
uieuia st uisi time in tne oeuntry. Tney
owned a paper mill, a grist mill, oil mill, and
fulling mill. Tbey established a printing
olllee, tbe second outside of Philadelphia In
the state. Intbeetllce were printed many
books, pamphleta, tracts, and hymns. The
work en tbeae books, both as te printing
and binding, was auperier. Among tbe
rarest treasures in the state library at liar
rlsburg are specimens of these quaint old
German publications.
in 17'j8 Cenrad Beiasel died. The society
fell into tbe control of men who had net bis
disinterested piety, and In 1777 It began te
decline. In a tew years Jealousies and
schemes arose. Leading men in this society
lelt it with atreng following and founded
similar churches elsewhere, and seen the
Society of Kphrata was no mera. Among
these wbe left hTpbrata waa Andrew Hchnee
berger. With a geed share or tbe parent
society be came te Franklin county in the
latter part et last century. He purchased a
fine property en Heew Hill, in (Julney
Township, where he erected a larire convent
a church, and ether buildings. He waa net a
member of tbe Society of the Solitary blm
aelf, but he was the prier et the new church,
wbicb kept closely te the principles of the
Kphrata society. The Hnew Hill society be
came tbe bead et all tbe Beissellte Hungers,
affd tbe nunnery, aa it came te be called, waa
nearly filled with these adherents et Belsael
wbe accepted fully bla viewa en celibacy.
The secular branch was Urge and prosperous.
Tbey called themselves Seventh Day Baptists,
and the affairs et both the secular and monas
tic branches were controlled by the prier.
All the land and tbe buildings belonged te
tbe prier, wbe bad eight children. In 1823
he made each or bia children an eiler or
11,000 ir they would release all claim they
bad against bla estate. The offer was accepted.
In 1825 be transferred tbe property te five
trustees, te be held In trust for tbe soelety
forever. Sebneeberger died .'seen afterward,
and the monastic brsneb of the society aoen
began te decline. The inmates grew old and
died. Nene of the younger membera et tbe
society seemed inclined te take en tbem
vewa of celibacy. Mew and tben tba nun
nery would receive a new inmate from tba
elder membera of the society, but even tba
aged preterred tbe privileges of tbe secular
branch te tbe aevere reatrlotlene or tbe Soli
tary. Te-day the only living members et Cenrad
Belaeel'a Society or tbe Solitary, formed in
1713, are three old and decrepit people Obed
Hnewberger, Mia. Klizabetb Hitter, and Mlaa
Elizabeth Fyock. Hnewberger and Mlaa
Fyock are descendants et Andrew Hobuee Hebuee
berger, tbe name having been changed te
Hnewberger after tbe latter'a death. They
have been In tne cloister upward of hair a
century. Mrs. Hitter Is a widow, and took
tba monaatle vewa 30 veera aae.
The writ el ejectment suit te recover pos
session of the nunnery property is brought
by SO heirs or Andrew Hcbneeberger, who
base tbelr claim en tbe ground tbat Hohnee Hehnee
berger'a transfer of tbe trustees or tbe society
was Intended only for tbe use of tbe monaatle
branch, and, holding that tbe monaatle
branch la in reality extinct, consequently tbe
property reverts te tbe legal beira el An
drew Hehneeberger. Tbe trustees defend tbe
suit, and, while denying tbat tbe transfer
waa for tbe benefit of the Society or the Holl Hell
tary alone, bold that It still valid, aa tbe
society atill exists lu the persona of Obed
Hnewberger, Ktlzabetb Kilter, and Uli-abeta
Fyock.
The property in dispute baa grown te ba
valuable, being worth today between H0.O0O
and 150.000. Tbe beat counsel haa been as.
