E'en though It be a cross That rnlsutb me ; Still all my song shall be , Nearer , my Coil , to Thee , Nearer to Thee ! " For fifty years this soul burst has be entrancing the Christian world , and Is , pe haps , the most popular hymn ever wrltte Yet of Its writer and Its writing very lltl has been known by the thousands who ha been thrilled and exalted by Its wonderl power , whether welling from the throat Parepa Rosa or lisped by the piping voice a child. The most that could be learned was th It was written by Sarah Flower Adains , w was born In Cambridge , Ei.g and , In Kebruat 1805 , and who died In 184S ; that "she w noted for the taste she manifested In liter turo and for great zeal and earnestness her religious life. " As to the hymn whl has made her memory precious , the blograp ers were silent , except to say In passl that "the circumstances under which s wrote It , or at what time , Is not known. " It will be a suprUIng revelation to t world , says the Cincinnati Commercial , tli this hymn , breathing In ( .very line an e cess of deep religious feeling , was wrltt by one who had entirely lost faith In t Inspiration of the Christian scrlp'ures ; tli It was the result of the pain cawed by t passing ot the old faith that had nourish and given life to the resplendent Mower of t writer's soul. The first authentic Information regard I the conditions under which the lijmn w written Is furnished by Moncure D.

"It was In answering Robert Brownl that my mind refused to bring forward an ments , turned recreant , and sided with t enemy. * * I have a firm belief In resurrection at least. I think I have. I my mind Is In a sad state , and before tl goes I must endeavor to build up .tiy deci Ing faith. How Is It to be done ? I w : to read a good ecclesiastical history as first step.

" This letter , written In the Gethsemi that precedes the death of the old faith t the resurrection which brings freedom , v give a fuller melody to her glorious song leIs the myriad hearts that have suffered a k dred agony. In speaking of the hymn t Its writer , Mr. Conw ay says : " 'Nearer , My God. to Thee , ' was sung many years In South Place chapel before was heard outside ; the hymn for which Is different tunes have been composed i which Christians are singing In every part the world , unconscious as yet that It is ret a hymn of their pilgrimage from the faith to the new.

"In this country , where distinction Is won by Individual worth rather than by wealth or birth , It Is rather a striking ( act that In all legislative history only five Instances occur where the honor of a seat In the senate has descended In the same family from generation to generation , " said Attorney General Stock ton of New Jersey , to the New York Tribune , speaking of the death ot the late Senator Colqultt of Georgia. Following up the suggestion In these words , many facts were brought to light not gener ally known , but Interesting , nevertheless , to an explorer ot the bypaths of history. The families thus honored by their fellow citizens are the Bayards of Delaware , the Cnmerons of Pennsylvania , the Colqultts of Georgia , and the Frellnghuysens and Stocktons of New Jersey. With the Stocktons the descent has been longest and most direct. Richard Stock ton was a member of the continental con gress , and while so serving signed the Im mortal declaration. His son Richard served In the United States senate from 1793 until 179G ; his grandson , the celebrated Commodore Robert Stockton of 1812. served In like ca pacity from 1861 until 1853 , and his great- grandson , John P. Stockton , now attorney general of New Jersey , was elected senator In 185G and again In 18G9. The Bayards also can boist of four sena torial representatives , although the descent has not bsen entirely from father to sou. James A. , his sons James A. and Rlchanl H. , and his grandson , Thomas F. , the pres ent ambassador to England , have all had scatb m the senate. Three Frellnghuysens have ben sena tors , Frederick , his son Theodore , and hi' grandson , Frederick Theodore. With thf Colqultts and Camerons the office has de scended from father to son. Remarkable , Indeed , has been the publk career of these five families , nor has It beer confined to legislative action alone. In al' most every fleld of peaceful and warllki achievement have they been prominent , amen on almost every page of their country's his lory have their names been written. Jame : A. Bayard. Richard Henry Bayard and Joht P. Stockton have been foreign ministers. F T. Frellnghuysen was nominated as mlnlstei to England and was confirmed by the senate but declined the office , and Thomas F , Bay ard Is the present ambassador at the court o St. James. Frederick Frellnghuysen am Richard Stockton were soldiers of 1776 , and i bullet from Frcllnghu ) sen's pistol put ai end to the life of the hated Hessian com mander , Colonel Rahl , at the capture o Trenton In 1777. Robert F. Stockton won na tlonal fame as a commander and during tin civil war A. H. Colqultt was a "southen brigadier. " Simon Cameron and his son Donald wen both secretaries of war , the former unde Lincoln , the latter under Grant. Frederlcl T. Frellnghuysen was Arthur's secretary estate state , and R. F. Stockton declined the port folio of the navy. F. T. Frellnghuysen ani John P. Stockton have been attorneys general oral of New Jersey , and the former wa the vice presidential nominee when Cla ; was a candidate for the presidency. The ; have laid hold on the Judge's ermine , toe and the scholar's cap , as well as the sol dier's sword and the statesman's gowr Richard Stockton , flrst , was a member o the Colonial council , and was unanimous ] elected Hrst chief Justice of the suprem court of Georgia , and Frederick T. Frellns huysen was president of the University o New York and of Rutgers college. Widely different as they are In the way they have trodden to fame , In the state 'from which they came , and the Ideas the held to the great national questions wit which they have been Identified since th foundation of the government , there Is on bond of union between them all , the tie o education.

Simple nnd Cheap Contrivance byMilc Anybody On IVolch Air. There is ono atmospheric phenomena about which there Is a wide mtsconccptiot says the Philadelphia Times. When th smoke lies close to the 'surface ' ot the eartl Instead of moving upward as It general ! does , many p'eople think It Is because the a .Is heavy. The same people will tell you pel haps { hat damp air Is heavier than dry al for It Is on days that the air Is damp tin the smoke llci close to the earth. On tli contrary , damp air Is lighter than dry al and It Is because the air Is damp that th smoke does not ascend. It la purely a quei tlon of gravity , of weight. If the 1cmt stratum of air Is heavier than the smol < the latter will go up ; If It Is lighter than tli smoke the smoke will not go up so rendll ; The barometer Is the Instrument used by th scientists to determine the relative weight c the air. As usually made , It consists ot a cu of mercury , with which Is connected a gradt ated glass tube. From the upper part of th tube the air has been exhausted , thus torn Ing a vacuum , and the height of the colum of mercury In the tube denotes the weight i the atmosphere. The explanation of this Is qulto slmpl The pressure of the atmosphere upon tl mercury In the cup forces the mercury u Into the tube , where It meets no resistant because the empty part of .hi tube is vacuum , Hence the column of mercury wl rise or fall In the tube as the pressure greater or less. Everybody Is familiar enough with weathi reports to know that we have "high barom ter" on clear , dry days and "low barometei on damp days ; that the first Indicates goc weather and the last stormy weather. Bi "high barometer" means that the column mercury Is well up In the tube , and "lo barometer" that It Is down. We know , ther fore , that as dry air bears down more heavi upon the mercury In the cup than damp al It must bo heavier than damp air. A vei simple and serviceable barometer may 1 made at home , without cost. The only thlni needed are a wide-mouthed glass Jar a pick bottle will do a clean Venetian oil flask , ai half a pint of plain water. Pour the vvat the letting It come to within ! r Into Jar , on [ s third of the top , and Insert the oil flask u , side down In the Jar , so that the neck of tl flask will Just enter the water. That Is all. If the atmospheric conditions are favorat to clear , fine weather , the water will rise the flask ; If , on the contrary , a storm Is prospect , the water will fall. The air affec the water just as It does the mercury In t ! tube. A Fflvr Note * About Coin.
