The Mysterious Organist.
A legend of tho Itlilne.
"Kind hnartB aro raoro than coronets ,
And siinplo faith than Norman blood. "
Years ago , at a grand cathedral
overlooking tho Rhino , there ap
peared a mysterious organist. The
great composer who played the or
gan so long , suddenly died , and
everybody from the King to the peas
ant , was wondering who could be
found to fill his place , when , one
bright Sabbath morning , as the sex
ton entered tho church , he saw a
stranger seated at the crape-shrouded
organ. He was atall , graceful man ,
with a pale but strikingly handsome
countenance , great , black , melan
choly e3res , and hair like a raven's
wing in gloss and color. lie had not
seemed to notice tho sexton , but
went on playing , and such music as
he drew from the instrument no
words of mine can describe. The as
tonished listeners declared that the
organ seemed to have grown human
that it Availed , and sighed and clam
ored , as if a tortured human heart
was throbbing through it. "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 , "
exclaimed tile sexton. "Why you
surpass him that's dead and gone ,
sir. "
"No , no , you overrate me , " re
sumed the stranger , with a sad smile ;
and then , as if disinclined to conver
sation , ho turned from old Hansand ,
began to play again. And now the
music changed from a sorrowful
strain to a grand old pean , and the
mysterious organist ,
' 'Looking upward full of grace ,
Played , till from a happy place
God's glory struck him in the face. "
and his countenance seemed not un
like that of St. Michael , as portrayed
by Guido.
Lost in the harmonies which swell
ed around him , he sat with his far
seeing gaz e fixed on the distant sky ,
a glimpse of which he caught through
an upper window , when there was a
stir around the church door , and a
royal party came sweeping- .
Among them might be seen a
young girl , with a wreath of
golden hair , eyes of violet hue ,
and lips like cherries. This
was princess Elizabeth aad all eyes
turned toward her as she seated her
self in the velvet cushioned pew ap
propriated to the court. The mys
teries organist fixed his eyes on her
and went on playing. No sooner
had the music reached her ears , than
she started as if a ghost had crossed
her path. The bloom faded from her
cheeks , her lips quivered , and her
whole frame grew tremulous. Atlast
her eyes met those of the organist in
a long , yearning look , and then the
melody lost its joyous notes , and
once more wailed and sighed and
clamored.
"By my faith , " whispered the King
to his daughter , "this organist has a
master hand. Hark ye , my child , he
shall play at your wedding. "
The pale lips of the princess parted ,
but she could not speak she was
dumb with grief. Like one in a pain
ful dream she saw the pale man at
the organ , and heard the melody
which filled the vast edifice. Ay , full
well she knew who he was , and why
the instrument seemed breathing out
the agony of a tortured heart.
"When the service was over , and the
royal party had left the cathedral ,
he stole away as mysteriously as he
came : He was not seen again by the
sexton till the vesper hour , andthen
he appeared in the loft and com
menced his task. "While he played , a
veiled figure glided in and knelt , at
a side shrine. There she remained
till the worshippers disappeared ,
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. " '
The sexton drew into a shady
niche , and watched and listened.
The mysterious organist still kept
his post , but he could not see the
lone devotee. At length she rose
from the aisle , and moving to the
organ loft , paused beside the musi
cian.
"Bertram , " she murmured.
Quick as thought the organist
raised his head. There with the light
of a lamp suspended to the arch
above falling upon her , stood the
princess who had graced the royal
pew that day. The court dress of
velvet , with its softermine trimmings
bhe tiara , the necklace , the bracelets ,
bad all been exchanged for a simple
rey serge robe and a long thick veil ,
which wasjiow.vpushed back from her
uUislrface. ' - - > V-if * n * y *
"Oh ! Elizabeth , Elizabeth ! " ex
claimed the organist , and he sank at
lier feet and gazed wistfully into her
troubled eyes.
" "Why are you here , Bertram ? "
asked the princess.
I came to bid you farewell , and aa
[ dared not venture into the palace ,
[ gained access to the cathedral , and
[ laving taken the vacant seat of the

dead organist , lot my music breathe
out tho adieu I could not trust my
lips to utter. "
A low moan was tho only answer ,
nnd he continued :
"You aro married on tho morrow ? "
"Yes , " sobbed tho girl. "Oh , Ber-
tram , what a trial it will be to stand
at yonder altar , and tako upon mc
tho vows that will doom mo to a liv
ing death. "
"Think of me , " rejoined tho organ
ist. "Your royal father requests me
to play at your wedding , and I have
promised to be here. If I wero your
equal I could bo tho bridegroom in
stead of the organist ; but apoor mu
sician must give you up. "
"Itisrendingbodyandsoulasunder
to part with you , " said tho girl.
"To-night I may tell you this tell
how much I loved you , but in a few
hours it will be always a sin. Go , go ,
and God bless you.
She waved him from her as if sho
would banish him while she had the
power to do so , and he how was it
with him. He rose to leave her , then
came back , held her to his heart
in a long embrace , and with a half-
smothered farewell left her.
The next morning dawned in cloud
less splendor , and at an earlier hour ,
tho cathedral was thrown open , and
the sexton began to prepare for the
brilliant wedding. Flame colored
flowers nodded by tho wayside , from
the trees , and lay in light heaps upon
the ground , and the ripe wheat waved
like a golden sea , and berries dropped
in red an purple clusters over rocks
along the Rhine.
At length the palace gates wero
opened , and the royal party ap
peared , escorting the Princess Eliza
beth to the cathedral where the mar
riage was solemnized. Itwas a brave
pageant ; far brighter than the un
twined blossoms and foilage were the
tufts of plumes which floated from
stately heads , and festal robes that
streamed over thehousings of superb
steeds. But tho Princess , mounted
on a snow white palfrey and clad in
snow white velvet , looked pale and
sad ; and when on nearing the church ,
sho heard a gusli of organ music ,
which , though"jubliant in sound ,
struck on her ear like a funeral knell ,
sho trembled and would have fallen
to the ground had not a page
supported her. A few more
moments afterward , she entered tho
cathedral. There , with his retinue ,
stood the royal bridegroom , whom
she had never before seen. But her
eyes roved from him to the organ
loft , where she expected to see the
mysterious organist. He was gone ,
and she was obliged to return the
graceful bow of the king to whom she
was betrothed from motives of policy.
Mechanically she knelt at the altar
mechanically listened to the services
and made the responses. Then her
husband drew her to him in a con
vulsive embrace , and whispered :
"Elizabeth ! my queen ! look up ! "
Trembling in every limb , she obey
ed. "Why did those dark eyes thrill
her so ? Why did that smile bring a
glow to her cheek ? Ah , though tho
king wore the royal purple , and
many a jeweled order glittered on his
breast , he seemed tho same humble
person who had been employed to
teach her organ music , and had
taught her the lore of love.
"Elizabeth , " murmured the mon
arch , "Bertram Hoffman the organ
ist , and King Oscar are one. For
give my stratagem. I wished to
rriarry you , but I would not drag you
to the altar an unwilling bride. Your
father was in the secret. "
While tears of joy rained from her
pyes , the new made queen returned
her husband's fond kiss , and for once
two hearts were made happy by a
royal marriage. r

An "up north" clergyman , who is

The windows came in short order ,
but imagine the consternation of the

message , found that he could not

can check the tendency by rubbing

The appointment ofhousekeeperat
Windsor Castle , which has become
vacant through the death of Mrs.
Henderson , is one of the best things
for women in the English queen's
gift , for there is not only an adequate
salary , but tho housekeeper has ex
cellent apartments in tho castle ,
valuable perquisites and numerous
privileges. When the roj-al person
ages from abroad visit the queen at
Windsor a handsome present to the
housekeeper is a matter of course.
Emperor Nicholas of Russia gave the
housekeeper 1,000 and Emperor
Napoleon a couple of splendid dia
mond bracelets.

A person who retires to rest four
hours after midnight and gets up at
10 A. m. may be strictly regarded as
an early "riser. " Thus early rising
is synonymous , in long life histories ,
with short sleeping , which means
rapid recover } * from fatigue , a sign
of bodily strength. These scientific
facts in nowise contradictthe alleged
value of early rising as a practice to
be cultivated by all persons in good
health. It is excellent as a moral
discipline and eminently healthy as
a matter of fact. Most persons will
sat three meals daily. When a man
2jets up late , those meals will prob
ably follow each other at too short
intervals to be wholesome. When he
is an early riser it will probably be
otherwise. He can enjoy a good
breakfast , and by the time for his
lunch or midday dinner ho will have

Tho injunction said to havo beci

Louises of Franco , applies to housi
plants : "My son , you must seem t (
lovo your people. " "But , sire , hov
shall I seem to lovo thorn ? " "My ooi
you must lovo them. "
But this tender regard must b <
wisely directed. For examplo : It it
well understood that plants in poti
need water ; but they may easily hav <
too much water ; which is sure to dc
harm ; but the harm will bo much les
sened if there is sufficient drainage
Tho pieces of broken pots in tho hot
torn should never be omitted. With
out proper drainago tho soil becomes
sour , tho plants becomo sour , tlu
plants languish and tho leaves bo
come yellowish. Tho only remedy
then is to repot , shaking out as mucl
of tho soil as possible from anion ; ;
tho roots , and using fresh soil , old
well-rotted manure , and sharp sand
about equal parts , will answer well ,
After re-potting and watering , the
plant should be shaken for a few days ,
In a general way , too little water h
betterthantoo much. Tho drooping
leaves indicating drouth , are easiei
remedied than tho yellow leaves , tlu
result of having been kept too wet.

A Marine Battle ,
urom the Snn Francisco Examiner.
The whaling bark Josephine has
returned from the Japanese sea.
While fishing there she had an un
usual adventure. During the month
of October the vessel , under com
mand of Captain Horace Smith , saw
a terrible struggle in the waters not
more than 200 yards away. Two
boats were manned , one by the first
and the other by the third mate.
They wore launched and made for
the scene of the disturbance. An
ocean battle was going on. Acouple
of killers were tearing ahumped-back
whale to pieces. The water lor yards
around was crimsoned with blood. It
was apparent that two monsters
wero attacking a whale. The boat
men fired their harpoons and suc
ceeded in sticking both of the mon
sters. They were captured and towed
to the side of the bark.
The whale had been killed , but the
carcass was of no use in Consequence
of the species of the animal and no
attempt was made to recover it.
Twelve barrels of good oil were got
out of the killers and the head of one
was broughtto this part and pres
ented to William Benrlt , of No. 8 ,
Clay Street. It shows a row of large ,
savage-looking ivories numbering
forty-four. They look ghastly and
terrible. The fish is so rare that its
capture is regarded asqu ite a triumph.
Not one of the crew of the Josephine
had ever before seen such a fish.
A Youthful Bear Hunter.
Abearforalongtimemadea regular
visit to the orchard of Sheriff Power ,
near Coupeville , W. T. , and the other
day David Morrison , aged twelve ,
who lives with the Sheriff , started
out , gun in hand , to end Mr. Bruin ' s
existence. The rest of the story is
thus told by the Tacoma News :
"When he reached the orchard , sure
enough the bear was there , as were
also two good-sized cubs. The boy ,
uot at all discouraged at the odds ,
3tarted into head off the bear , and
oaust have got within a few feet of her
before she saw him. As soon as. she
caught sight of him she sat up and
looked him in the eye , and he thought
, t was a good time to shoot , and did
30 , putting a charge of buckshot into
bhe bear's throat , killing her ; but he
1 id not wait to see her die , but started
ror the house to tell the news.
