AN OLD CHURCH BELL IT CAME FROM LISBON AND HANQ3 IN A NANTUCKET CHURCH. The Story of It Parchaae b Caplala, tinsby and It Transportation to Tills Country A Vrrr flood Clock and a Verr Pin Bell. licnonth the outlook In n Nnntucket church is the belfry, In which swings the "old Spanish bell." Knowing that this is now a Unitarian church, the vis itor will be surprised to soe a Catholic cross on the boll. If ho could rood Por tugese nnd had nut previously ac quainted himself with tlie Itk.ory of the bell ho would be xtill more sur prlaed at the Inscription on it The trniiHlntlon of this inscription is n fol lows: "To tho Good Jesus of the Moun tnln the devotees of Lisbon direct their prayers, offering II Im one complete set of six bells, tr call the people to ndnre li I in In his snnetunry. Jose Domlngos Dncosta lins inutlc It In I.lalmn in the yenr 1810." Of course the bull must hnvo nn inteivstliiK hlHtory to account for this Inscription. That history Is briefly ns follows: A pliiKiie wns raging in Llxbon nnd certain people 'in that city prayed to the Virgin Mary for the cessation of tho plague ami vowed to place n set of six bells In the Church of the Good Jesus of the Mountain If their prayers were heard. "The Mountain" is the nnme of a certnin district in the city of I.lslion In which there Is n very ven erable church called ns nhove. Shortly after this the plague ceased, anil, ac cepting this ns the answer to their prnyers, these devotees of Lisbon pro ceeded to fulfill their vows. Tho work of casting these six bells wns intrusted to Jose Domlngos Dacosta. the best boll founder in Lisbon. The six bells had been cast, the mas ter's labors had been crowned with success, when Captain flashy of the Nantucket whaling fleet chanced to visit Lisbon. He bad long wished to buy a bell for use in his na.tt.ve town. "PIT" is IT! "PIT PARTIES" arc the rig. "PIT" Is the most la-jgh-ib?e and exciting gace ever invented .'or an informal good time.

Corner In company with Captain Cnry he tlslted the bell foundry of Jose Do mliiKos Dncosta. Coptuln Cnry. it seems, wns n connoisseur in bells. Dn costa applied the lever to one bell after another as he struck each to ascertain Its peculiar tone or tone qnnllty, but each time Captnln Cary snld. "That will not do.", At Inst Dncosta raised and struck the bell whose history we are describ ing. Cnptuln Cary wns delimited with the result. "Ah, Clnsby," he snld, "you need look no further. That's the bell you want. She Is a beauty. She sounds on B." "Well, sir," remarked Dncostti. "w consider that to be the finest bell that we have In our foundry." At first Dacosta demurred and could not see his wny clear to selling the bell, since It belonged to the set of chimes designed for the Church of the Good Jesus of the Mountain and wns npproprlntely Inscribed and nil, but Captnln Clnsby would have no other. Finally Dncosta decided, since the bull had not yet been consecrated nnd since he could cast another to take Its place, that It would be nil right to sell. So Captnln Clasby bought the bell, and it was brought to Nantucket by Captnln Cnry, whose vessel was going home first. In Lisbon, Just before he set Ball, Captain Cnry heard of the dec laration of war with Great Britain, for It was now the year 1812. On the wny over they were spoken by a Brit ish sloop of war. Fortunately the Brit isher had been at sea for some time and had not yet henrd of the declara tion of war. "The commander asked Captain Cary the news, but Captnln Cury says he took especial pains not to tell all he knew. If he had told, our precious bell would probably never have Been Nantucket. It inlfcht now be either at the bottom of the sea or It might be swinging In the tower of some English church. The bell was landed In Nantucket and placed In the store cellar of Sam uel Cnry. where it remained until 1813, when It was purchased and placed In the tower where It now hangs. About $o(0 wns given for the bell the society paid about $350 and the rest was raised by subscription. Even some Friends or Quakers subscribed. After the bell had been In use a little while the agents of the historic Old Bouth church In Boston heard of It, and thoy sent a letter to the agents of the South church In Nantucket, saying that they had a very good clock In their tower, but no bell; thnt they had heard that the South church In Nantucket lind a very line bell, and they would like to know for how much the bell could be bought. The Nnntucketers replied thnt they hnd s very fine bell In their tower, but no clock; thnt they hnd heard thnt the Old South church hnd a very tine tower clock, nnd that they would like to know the price of the clock. , The agents ottered to pay $1 a pound for the bell. Since the bell weighs I. 575 pounds, this would have mnde the price $1,675, making a net profit of II, 075 nbove the price paid for the bell and $1,225 nbove the amount contrib uted by the society. It seems thnt the old Nantucketers must have had some sentiment after all and were not purely mercantile In their spirit If the Nantucketers had agreed to sell, as they might have done, our bell would probnbly be hanging in the his toric tower of Old South church in Boston todny. That might have been a great honor for the bell, but it would lhave been a grent deprivation for Nan tucket. Moreover, it would now be spending Its time In elegant leisure In stead of being a very useful bell where It Is. The history of this bell Is like a veritable parable of human life. The possibilities which occur In the history of the hell remind us of the possibilities which abound In every life Cor. Springfield Republican. atehrrnal Amelioration. "Poor thing!
