MISCELLANEOUS READING THE ALICE WALTZ 10= Sensations were something like a' gel visits in St. John's—very few and for be tween. Sometimes a breeze blew in trorn the great outside world and made whale ripple on the enrface of society, and peo ple went abort fur r. few days, talking of the matter which had dined them up a little from their usual repose. I think that last word is the proper one to use in this connection. The St- Johnites prided themselves on their Sleepy-Hollow way of living, and to use a stronger term than the one I have, would be sure to bring down upon me the indignation of the worthy people of that pretty place. Some times au elect occurred among them selves which furnished food fur chat and gossip fur several duys, and then life went on as it had been going before the little social whirlwind came to set the atmos phere of St. John's society in tins/Eer mo tion than UPtiul. St../ohn's had a new sensation when old Mr. Gray suddenly resigned his posi• tion as organist in St. John's church. lie had occupied his pos; tion there for many years, and people had come to regard him as a fixture, so to speak. Accordingly, when it was annouved that he was go ing away from St. John's. and thut the trusters of the cburch had hetter be look ing about for some one to fill his place, people wondered somewhat ac to what his motive could be in leaving them, and more as to who would be secured as his successor. It was understood that after a little while that a new organist had been en gaged. A young man from the city, who was fitting himself for a teacher in some musical establishment, the trustees said. iu answerem the questions propounded to them. Of course there was a. great flutter among the young ladies of St. John's. A handsome young organizt would he a de cided acquisition, everybody , declared.— Of course he was handsome. It would not be according to the eternal fitness of things if he wasn't." The pretty little church was crowded on the firs' Sunday of his alpearauce.— A lice Cramer, as she stood before her glass th , it m :ruing, getting ready for church, had thought of the new organist, and put a spray of white roses and Italtopened buds among her soft, wavy brown hair.— She sang in the choir. and, if he should be as handsome as Letts Thrope, who sang alto. had declared be ought to be, she wanted to look her best. I=l The new organist was there when she entered the organ loft. Alice gave him a quick glance, as she took ber place beside_Letty, and saw that he was not handsornein the general acceptation of the term. But he had beautiful eyes. she concluded, as he lifted them to her's for a moment, and they made up fully the beauty his features might lack. "Ile isn't the least hit like what I ex. pected." whispered Lefty. "Not the very least ; brit I think he's nice-looking after all don't you :9" "Yes, quite," answered Alice, and then Mr. Green, who sang tenor, introduced her to Mr. Leith, presenting her as "the best soprano in St.. John's." Of course, being a modest young ladY,,Alice blushed and the new organist gave her a very earnest glance of admtration ; which was no more than many of the Eh John'e POETRY. ••l will come, and thank Non. — he sm'd Nrulling. t nought 1,,m when lie smiled.

Mr. Leith plated the piano beautifully. As he struck the closing meaQure of Llcetli..ven Moon light Sonata, a new idea occurr.d to A lee. She had not kept up her to wi in of lair and was vtiitig considerably out of prao• tine in cutisequence.

And acting: np to her usual standard of promptness, Alice asked Me. La•fill the matter that vi ry 4 vening. He would be very glad to give her l^s- SOllll, he saict. Indeed. he o i ls intending to form a class in St. John's. If.. wanted kis time fully occupied. So it was set tled that he should come twice. a week all through the summer. The nest Monday the le,,sons bean. The hour or two at the piano seemed very short, and very pleasa-t to Alice. With Mr. Leith fur a teacher the study of sic suddenly acquired new beauty and los' all the old-time unplewaniness. There was no drudgery about it now. Mr. Cramer looked in upon them once in ewilile, hut never to stay long. 11-, cared but little for music, and was never very social, and so Alice and Mr. Lei 6 were lelt alone together most of the tune Sr that sumtm.r the dream of -vice Cramer's life emit- to her. There are times in the lives at' all ts ben the ens grand dream of Wyly , ' conies to us: the sweetest, best dreajo of all the dreams we ever knew. and some of 11. i wake to a beautiful reality, and some of us to a bit ter sense of loss and disappointment. Alice hail never loved an y man . sh e hail had an ideal, and her heart had kept itself for his t-oming. When Leith came, she felt a restfulness she had not known before. She was content. Sometimes she wondered why it wss that the old vague restfulness was gone 'from her. But when he told her that he hived, her, she knew aIL It was the peace of love that had come to the still longing. and the restfulness of a heart which yearns for something it has never knoWn. -I think Leith loved her from the first ne-saw in her a woman With a sweet and womanly soul, with u tender nntl trust ing heart,und he felt that it world be sa f e for any mac to give his happiness into her keeping. She would never betray the trust The rummer dare went hy, and in their coming and their coing, these two learn ed the most beautiful lesson of life from the great and tioiv.rsal teacher we call , Love. On. day he brought, her a piece cf run sic in manuscript.. " "I have heen trying my hand at com posing," he &lid, as he nundled the sheets, and placed them on the piano. "The Alice Waltz," he read, us Ow stood behind him. Did you name it for me ?" "Yes. I named it f yon, he answered smiling up into her face. "And I wrote it for you: listen." He began playing. It was a tender, passionate poem in melody; it seemed to Alice, as she listened. that a thought ran through from beginning to end; and that thought was—"l love you I I love you!' and it sung itself over and over in the stow, sweet measures or the melody. It seemed to her as if his soul was speaking to her through it. MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, .MARCI 4,• 1874. istocracy, and a face' like ]let's was sure to call forth admiration whenever it %,ns seen. A true,pure face it was, clear beauty in it, like a star's. The church was filling rapidly, and the organist began a voluntary. A ripple of pleased surprise run over the congre gation as he struck the opening chords. It was very different from Mt. Gray's playing. There was something - about it that indicated a.thorongh comprehension of what he was doing, and that he had put himself into the spirit which the piece demanded to be rendered properly. The old organ seemed suddenly to have shaken off its drowsiness and renewed its youth. The rich, full, mellow harmonies filled the church and soared heavenward du, the air of that still, beautiful morning.. as if they were the voices of angels prais ing God. "Isn't it just splendid," whispered Let ty, in a flutter of , pleasure. -Don't you think it is, Alice `•lt is very beautiful." answered Alic-. softly. The, grand, full chords Berthed in perfect harmony with the 'peace that was iu her heart that morning. Mr. Leith's first Sabbath as organist of St. John s church was very succeessful in winning him the favor of the emigre:is tion• His style was so far supet ior to Mr. Gray's that the m o re aristocratic portion wondered how they could have been con . - tent wlth tile worthy gen tleman'S Indif ferent accomplishments.

"It is very beautiful ;" and her face was bright and her eyes were tender. "I thank you more than I can tell for it. You must teach it to me." "Alice!" be rose suddenly from the piano, and took her hands in his. Her heart fluttered like a bird s. It told her what was corning. "AliCe my darling has the waltz told you what I tried to make it?' His voice was low and tender, and his face was transfigured by that sweet, grave smile of lie. "Did ton understand it, Alice?"' "I think I did," she answered softly. and lifted her eyes shyly to his for is mo ment. "And may I hope ?" Ilis face and voice were lull of eagerness. "Do you love me, A lice ?" For answer she gave him a smile that told him what no words could have done, a glad, bright smile that was only a re. &mica) from the sunshine in her heart, and he understood her. -God bless you, darling," he said ten derly, and kissed her. When Leith stool before Mr. Cramer and told him that he loved his daughter, the old man heard him through in silence but his face was purple with passion. "And I am to understand, sir," he said, when Leith had done, "that you hare the pre.umption, tie impudence. sir, isk my ciin6ent to your marriage with my daughter:'" -1 lore your daughter," Lieth answer. ed proudlvi stung by the old man's words.

St. John's had another sensation, when it was known that the Dew organist Lad suddenly resigned Isis position and gone away. No reason was assigned for the change its his plans. He had bei n ex pected to stay a year, and everybody had fit that the musical repntlition of the church aRs to become something mensal undev his charge. And now, without a week's warning even, he bad left them. And the worst of it all was, Via the cur i ous St. Johnites could not tell why. Alice Cramer could Lave told them if she had chosen to do so, And so could her pr ntd old lather whose wealth was so dear to him that he fancied every one was grasping for it. But notherof them saw fit t. enlighten the wondering St. John's people, and by and by the matter dropped out of e , Vit. in some new excite 111,11t. and the organist of St. John's church was forgotten save by the few who had known him be-t, and who, knowing him, had loved him as a true and earnest friend. The sunshine of a summer day lay ev er the German landscape. • The • languid tints of September had come before the August aarmilt had gone away, and the world seemed to bate lost its sharp, clear outlines in Lague indetiottetess. The mountains. wrapped about in their pur ple atmosphere were like something seen in.dreams, hale forgotten, yet real. The bills far away were only the ghosts of Alice Cramer Sat crown upon a great rock, over which the fingers of fairies had woven a carpet of greenest moss, and looked away across the purple splendor of the afternoon, and thought. Sho had nothing to do hut think 4tow. She was alone in the world, free to go and come as she pleased. Over the ea a grace was growing green in the churchyard nook where her last relative was sleeping his last sleep. The years that had come and gone since the man she had loved and whom she had never forgotten—whom she nev er wild forget—lied kissed her and left her with a breaking, heart, had brought some changes to her. She had grown more womanly ; there were traces of the refining work of sorrow in her face. But it was impure, beautiful face still. • In nil the , years gone by she had beard but once from Robert Leith, She had read in tv city paper that he was going abroad to study. nut was all. He se rated to have dropped out of her world, leaving no trace behind hint. This afternoon, as she sat there in the gniet of the summer day, she Iv6ndered it their paths would ever meet again. It 11, only knew that nothing kept them apart now, unless fate wits interposing, would he come to her? and then the thought Came to her that he had f,rgot ten her. But he had told her at the last that he never would forget her, and she believed The quaint German village below her grew dimmer as the sun dropped out of sight behind the mountains. She fan cied that the valley, full of a cool prn plish-gray mist, now that sunset had Come, was U sea, and the village growing more and more indistinct, was being swallowed tip in it. She beard the clatter of wheels down the rocky road, to d saw faintly the scatr• let jacket of the postillion as he reigned his horses up at the door of the inn. "Perhaps there are some travelers," she said, rising and wrapping her shawl about her. "Some one from America, like enough. I will go down and gee." It was twilight when she had clember. tea down the rocks and 'reached the vil lage. She enttred the inn, and stripped in the hall to listen to the piano in the one little parlor. It was the first time that she had heard it since she had been there. There was something' in the spell of the music and the moonlight which held her there. She could not see the player lor the room was full of shadowe,but whoever 4, was, he knew hay to get at the Soul of the piano, and so she stood and listened. Soddenly the music changed and Al ice's heart gave a great leap, and then stood still. That melody! She had heard it Wore and she could never forget it.— Never! It way the sum , beautiful story she had listened to years ago, beyond the sea, only now there was an undertone of passionate sadness and sot row running through it that told of a longing and pain winch would not he quieted. It was as if the player told the story of his love. bile his heart was moaning under it all fur his loss. The melody died away in a xrailMg mi• nor chord, and then ti.e:c WllB silence in the room, ••ltohxrt," she said, brokenly, as she pans ,d upon the threshold. "011, Rub• trt !" The man at the piano sprang up at the A her voice and (-utile toward her. The moon had climbed high enough to make the room white with radiance now. wet he saw her standing [lit-re. with a Ilreat, ono tt.-rahle gladness shilling in her lace. It was as if her eoulidione through "Alice. my Alice!" That was all he saul,hot there was nt ed of no more words as he clasped her is his arms and kissed h. r. The moonlight fell about them white and NM', like the benediction 411 God. I have told you the story of the Alice Waltz. Yon hare often listened to its wondetrnlly beautiful measure; and, af ter this when you hear it, it will have anotho•rehartn ror von I hope, at'' , you r, member how it brought two hearts toe gether who had been so long apart. ==:=l A Deception You may remember that I lectured :astir ['cr. the young gentlemen of the t'Llssnian socoty. During the afternoon of the day I was tat ong to one of the young gentlemen referred to, and he said he had an uncle who. from come erllSe or other. seemed to have grown permanent ly bereft of all emotion. And, with tears in his eyes, this young man said: "0 s,tl I (-solid only see him laugh ones: more: Oh, if I could only see him weep!" 1 was touched. I could never withstand distress, I eald. "Brieg him to my lecture. I'll start him for you. -Oh, it von could but do it! If you co ii!Li bit do it, all our family would bless you w.erniore; fur he is very dear to us. .01t, illy benefactor, can you make him laugh ? Can your bring soothing teats to those parched orbs ?" I was profoundly moved. I said.: "Nly son, bring the old party around. I ha% e got some jokea in my lecture that will make him laugh, if there is any laugh in bum; and, if they mice flre,l have got some that will make him cry or kill hmi, one or the other." Then ttoeyoung man wept on my neck, and presently spread both hands on my head and looked up toward heavemmum hhog something reverently; and then he went after his uncle. lie placed him in hull view in the second row of benches, that night, nod I began on him. I tried him with mild jukes first—then with se, vere ones. I dosed him with bad jokes al,' riddled him with good ones; I tired old, stale jokes into him, and peppered him sure and aft with red-hot new ones. I warmed up to my work, and assaulted him on the right and left, in front and behind. I fumed, and charged, and ran ted, till I was hoarse and siek.and frantic and furious; but I never moved him once —I never started a smile or a teat! Never a ghost of a smile, and never a suspicion of moisture: I was astounded. I closed the lecture at last with.
