The lilystertottpi Orgahlst
"Kind hearts are more than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman blood."
Years ago, at a grand old cathedral
overlooking the Rhine; -there appeared a
mysterious organist. The great composer
who had played the organ so long had
suddenly died, and everybody, from the
king to the peasant; was wondering-who
could be found to fill his place, when,one
bright Sabbath morn, as the sexton
en
tered.the church, he. saw a stranger sit
ting at the crape-shrouded organ. He
was a tall, graceful man, with a pale but
strikingly handsome face, great blacl:,
melancholy eyes, and hair like the raven's
wing for gloss and color, sweeping in dailk
waves over his shoulders. 'He did not
seem to notice the sexton, but went on
playing, ilnd such music as he drew from
the instrument no words of mine can
describe. The astonished listener de
clared that' the orgari seemed to haie
growri human—that it ( wailed and sighed,
and clamored, as if a tortured human
heart were throbbing (through its pipes.
When the music at length ceased, the
sexton hastened to the stranger and said :
"Pray, who are you', sir ?"
"Do not ask my name," ; he replied.+—
"I have heard that you are in want of an
organist, and have come here on trial,",
"You'll be sure to get the place," ex
claimed the sexton. "Why, you surpass
him that's dead and gene., sir !"
VNo, no; you overrate me," resumed
the stranger, with a sad smile ; and then,
as if disinclined .to conversation. he turned
from old Hans, and began to play again.
and now the music idhanged from a'sor
rowful strain to a ;raid old pavan, and
.;
the mysterious organis t—
"Looking upward fitll of grace,
Prayed ti ii from a happy place •
God's glory smote him on the face,"
and his countenance seemed not unlike
tha. of St. Michael, as portrayed by
Guido.
Lost in the harmonies which swelled
ariiund him, he sat with his "far-seeing,"
gaze fixed on the!t distant sky, IL glimpse
of which lie caught through an open-win
dow: when there was a stir about the
church door, and airoyal party cathe
sweeping in. Aiming them might be.
seen a young girl, With a wealth of golden
hair, eyes like the Violet hue, and lips
like wild cherries. This was the Prin
cess Elizabeth ; and all dyes turned to
her, as she seated .herseif in the velvet
cushioned pew appropriated to the court.
The mysterious organist fixed his gaze
upon her and went on playing. No sod-
er had the music recoiled her ears, thin
she started, as if a ghost had crossed-her
path. The bloom faded from her cheek;
herdips quivered, and her whole frame
crew tremulous At; last her eyes Met
those of the organist,l:in a lone, yearning
look, and then the . tneloiy lost-its joyous
notes and once morel wailed, and
and clamored.
"13v my faith," whispered the king to
his daughter, "this organist has a master
hand. Hark ye,. he shall play at your
wedding!"
The pale dips of the princess parted,
but she could not speak—she was dumb
with grief. Like one in a painful dream,
she saw the pale man lat the organ, and
heard the melody which filled te fast
edifice. Ay, full well she knew who he
was, and why the instrument seemed
breathing out the agony of a tortured
licirt. I
When the servicef was over, and the
royal party had left the cathedral, h. stole
away as mysteriously as he had come.
He was not seen again by the sexton till
the vesper hour, and [then he appeared in
the organ loft ; and Commenced his task.
While he played, a belled figure glided
in, and knelt near a side shrine. There
she- remained till the worshippers dis
persed, when the sexton touched her on
the shoulder and said :
"Madam,. everybody has gone but you
and me, and I wish to close the doors."
"I am not ready to: go yet," was the
reply ; "leave me—leave me !"
The sexton drew (back into a shady
niche, and watched land listened. The
mysterious organist 'still kept his post,
but his head was bowed upon the instru
ment, and he could not see the lone dev
otee. At length she!rose from the. aisle,
and moving to the organ-loft, paused be
side the musician.
c: S. D. KELLY
"Bertram;" she murmured..
Quick as thought the organist raised
his head. There, with the light of a
lamp suspended to the arch above falling
full upon her, stood the princess who had
graced the royal• pew that day. The
court dress of velvet, with its soft ermine
trimmings, the tiara, the necklace, the
bracelets, had been 4cohanged for a gray
serge robe and a long thick veil, which
was now pushed back from the' fair girl
ish face.
igr Eii7'' a‘—'-'•Tked
"Oh ! Elizabeth, Elizabeth !" exclaitneL
the organist, and he sunk at her feet, and
gazed wistfully into tier troubled eyes.
"Why are you here, Bertram ?" asked
the princess.

"I came to bid you. farewell; and as I
dared not venture into the palace, 1 gain
ed, access to the cathedral by - bribing the
bell-ringer, and having taken thei vacant
seat of the dead organist, let my music
breathe out the adieu I could not trust
my lips to utter."
A. low moan was the only answer,' and
he, continued : .
"Yon are to be married on the morrow?"
.Yes," sobbed the 'girl. "Oh, Ber
tram, what a trial it will be to stand at
yonder altar, and take upon upon. me the
vows which will doom me to • u living
death !"
"Think of me," rejoined the organist.
"Your royal father has requested me to
play at the wedding, and I have prom
ised to be here. If I were your equal, I
could be the bridegroom instead of the
the organist; but a poor musician must
give you up."
"It is like rending soul and body asun
der, to part with you,' said the girl.—
"To-night I may tell you this=hell you
how fondly I love yon,lbut in a few hours
it will be a sin ! Go, go, and God bless
you!"
She waved him from her, as if she
would banish him while she had 'plower to
do so, and he—how was it with him ?
He rose to leave her; then came hack,
held her to his heart in a long embrace,
and with a half smothered farewell left her.
The next morning dawned in Cloudless
splendor, pnd at an early hour the cathe-,
drat was thrown open,land the sexton be
gan to,-prepare for the brilliant wedding.
'Flame-colored flowers nodded by the way
side—flame-colored leaves came; rushing.
down from the trees and lay light -
heaps upon the grotnd; and the ripe
wheat waved like a Olden sea, and ber
ries drooped in red and purple! clusters
over the rocks along the Rhine.
At length the palace gates were opened,
and the royal party appeared, escorting,
the Princess Elizabeth to the cathedral,
where her marriage was to be sOlbamized.
It etas a brave p ageant ; far brighter
,than
the watch:lt:ld foliage :and blossoins were
the tufts of plumes .which floated- from
stately heads, and the festal robes that
streamed-down over ; the housitigs of the
superb st 2cds. But, i lie princess,! mounted
ou a snow-white palfr4, and clad in snow
white velvet, looked ;pale and sad; and
when, on nearing the ehurch,, she heard
a gush of Organ music, whiehi though
jubilant in sound, struck on hetl•ear like
a fune•al knell, she trembled, acid would
'laic fallen to the earth had net •a page
suvorted her. A few moments after
ward she entered the, cathedral.; There,
with his retinue, stood the royal bride
groom, whom she had ‘ never before seen.
But her glance roved from hint to the
organ-loft, where she bad expedt'ed to see
the mysterious organist. I rk was gone;
aed she was obliged to return the grace
ful bow of the! king,;,to whom ;she• had
been betrothed from motives .of policy.
Mechanically she knelt at his side on the
altar-stone ; mechanically listened to the
service and made the resports.C.S. Then
her husband drew her to him: in a con
vulsive embrace, and whispered :
"Elizabeth, my queen, my Wife, look
tip !"
Trembling in' every limb, she Obeyed?
Why did those dark eyes thrill, her so -
Why did that smile bring a glow.ou her
cheeks ? Ah ! though th king !wore the
royal purple, and many a jeweled order
glittered •on his breast, he seemed the
same humble part who had been em
ployed to teach organ music, and had
taught lier the lore of love.
"Elizabeth," murmured the monarch,
''Bertram Hoffman, the mysterions organ
ist, and King Oscar are one ! ! Forgive
my stratagem. I wished to mrrry you,
but I would not drag to the allr an un
willing bride. Your father was
,in the
secret."
While tears of joy rained from her blue
eyes, the new-made queen returned her
husband's fond kiss, and for once two
hearts were made happy by a royal mar-

What is left for : thy Daughters to do ?
Only to bend their foreheads down low,
While fast and bitter their - hot tears flow {
Only to weep and to wail for you?
to MO some bravo warrior's band,
Held for a parting presetre Out,
And say, in a voice too calm for doubt;
" Go' forth and die for your land I" •
And, after, to hide in silence evilly
The cold, mangled form in our breast,
That the world thinks it has given rest
Low down under the southern sky f
Only to pray at night-time, and weep
While we braid for therietcirs garlands
Thinking, the while, with a sob of fright,
Where 'tis our own-beloved one's'sleep ?
IS there nothing else in the world?
Nothing? Yet loudly the cannon's peel,
The fields are
. all 'dazzling with burnished
steel,
And thy banners are sato:tin tied!

"Give us something to do for thee! :
Let us toil for the Land of the Free
As bravely as those that fall.
" How can we ()illy watch and wait?
Thou host need of us in this strife—
Let us do something' for Freedom's Lifd;
And struggle with Wrong and Hate."
Hark ! hark ! how the shrill fifes scream
The drum-roll sounds through the frity
Our , brothers spring up and away,'.
How proudly their bayonets gleam I
Bat we fold our hands in despair,
And sit with hashed breaths to the end
Only dreaming at night of a friend,
-We sob out Ipitiful prayer.

SUMMARY. OF A NICE WIFE.-=A bus:
band, (himself perfect, of course,) tbrui
sketches what he dreamvbe deserves :---ii
"A woman whose intellect has field
enough for her in . communion with bet
hnshand, and whose heart asks no °that
hohors than his love and admiration;
woman who does not think it a Weakness
to attend to her toilet, and who does not
'disdain to be beautiful; who believes in
the virtue of glossy hair and well-fitting
gowns, and who eschews rents and rav
eled edges, slipshod shoes and audits:dori
make-ups; a woman who speaks low, and'
does not speak mnoh ; who is patient and
gentle, intellectual and industrious ; whet
loves more than she reasons, and yet does
net love blindly; who never scolds and
rarely argues, but adjusts -with a smile j
such a woman is the wife we have dreamed
of once in our lives, and is the mothet
we all worship in the backward distance."
"Killing eyes" may sometimes havd
pullets in them !. The papers tell ns
youngi woman named Sarah Taylor,
eighteen years of age, does duty in the
First Tennessee Regiment. She . is an
adept at the sword exercise, and sure with
the pistol. She wears a blue chapeau,
and carries the regulation sword and a
pair of silver mounted pistols. The men
call her Captain Taylor." But, it ap=
pears that the Prince of Wales has taken
a fancy to just such a woman. His mat.;
rimonial probabilities are thus stated
"It is said that the Prince of Wales,
lately reported to have been secretly mar.
tied to a pretty Irish girl, to marry thd
Danish Prineets Alxandria Carolind
Maria, Charlotte Louise Julie von Gluck's
burg. That is a great many people td
marry. It is to be hoped that she is not
quite so long as her name. She is said
to bee lieutenant in the Danish army..l".
Listen, my dear! "The pretty bait
nets which have enjoyed so lon g a reign
of popularity, are only revivals of a fash:
ion which prevailed to an equal extent
in' the fourteenth century, when ladieg
used to draw their luxuriant tresses inlet
similar nets, which then bore the fanciful
name of 'dove-cots.' We do not see why
the rural appellation should not havo
been revived with the graceful article 141
'the
will _- put jui, ~and,
as the tree grows, in a more numerous
generation. (When we die, others will
succeed us — better or worse than our
selves—but apt the same. Shakespeare:_
and Milton will never exist on earth
again, and that is the strongest reason;
apart from revealed religion, and corrob
erated by the manifest incompleteness of
every great man who dies, to lead us tei
believe that, they exist elsewhere than ow
earth."
