(Concluded)
It seemed to me that I shriekcd,butI sup-
post: I really uttesd only a feeble sound, as I
staggered into the room. Miss Mason start-
ed back;thc spoon fell; its contents dubbed
the bed-spread, like blood; she pressed her
hand to her side, and glared at me with the
expression of a scnmambulist.

“What does this mean ‘9” I asked.
“Yes; it was a mean net l” she replied, still
as if shewere not awake, though I believed
she was affecting the manner.
“What was ‘2” I asked.
' She continued to stare vacantly at me.
“What I have been doing,” she said.
Her expression appeared to me assumed.
I was convinced that she was acting. I felt
the weight of the responsibility which had
devolved on me.
“Miss Mason,” I said, as collectedly as I
9 could, “your tragical attitude seems to me an
! unbecoming afl‘ectation. I wish you to be
plain with me. My Sudden entrance has
over come you, and interfered with your
plans. Explain to me what you were doing ‘9”
Her influence over me was still so great, that
I could notword what I had to say more cx-
plicitly. She uplicd, quietly: ‘
“I do not understand you.”
This revoltcd me. I continued, stcrnly:
“When I opened the door, you were on the
point of administering to Jenny Brewster
something which, in your agitation, you have
spilled. Whatever this was, you were giving
it contrary to the doctor‘s directions. I wish
to know what. it was.” I I
'A gloom of intelligence crossed her face.
She moved, as if to posses herselfof the phia],
but I was nearer the stand, and laid my hand
on it firmly. ,
“Why—\Vhy—Miss Dcnby,” she said, be-
ginning to shiver hysterically—J‘whzit do you
mean ‘3”
“I mean that you are to tell me what you
were attempting to give Jenny Brewster, and
why?” I know my voice was cruel. She
broke down, and began to sob.
“It was the new medicine!” she said, agi-
tatedly. “It should have been given precise-
ly at three. I reproach myself bitterly for
being beliiudhaud. I was sowdistractcd—so
unhappy—”
There was a shudder in her voice.
“The new medicine!” I repeated. “Has
the doctor been here during the night ?”
“He was here at twelve. He was called
somewhere out of town, and stopped on the
she stnmmcrcd
. way. He found some change in Jenny,
and altered the medicine.”
“He made it up himself?" I asked, glancing
at the little ornamented phial and its con-
tents.
“Yes”—shc seemed to read my suspicions
-“I got my ammonia bottle, as there was
nothing in the room to contain the mixture?
It was horrible to 1m ve it so, but her words
sounded false to me. I did not believe her.
My position was painful. In face of such an
explanation, it would have been inhuman to
have raised an alarm. I wished to send for
the doctor on some pretext, to have the story
verified, butl was afraid to leave her alone
with Jenny while I went to call Nancy, or to
send her to do so, lost, if my suspicion was
correct,_she should avail herself of the oppor-
tunity to escape. While at the same time, if
her story was true, I was taking the responsi-
bility of omitting the medicine, which I dare
not give upon her word. I felt the injustice
of manifesting my suspicions as I had. I
was utterly at a loss what to do. I said, at
last:
“Miss Mason, you were unmet-orally agitat»
ed by my sudden entrance. I confess that I

“Whut ‘3” Afterwards I could hardly be-

“Whether he loved her!” in a hoarse, his-
singway.
As she said these words the clock struck
four. The flying time recalled me to the ne-
cessity of action. At that moment, to my in-
expressible relief, there was s. rumble of
wheels which stopped at the door, and an in-
stant after Dr. Brown was stopping softly up

with some sort of story about our nothaving

“Vth-t i” said the doctor, bristling ; she has

is certainly pitiable; to have triflcd with the
dangerous condition of the sick girl, perhaps,
more pltiable still; and to have become a

norant women !
I was alone again with Miss Mason. To
admit my suspicion by apologizing for it was
impossible. I was thankful that. the evident
excitement under which she labored appear-
ed to blunt her faculties and prevent her ful-
i ly realizing what had occurred. I went to
g her. “My child." I said, “you need rest; it is
! nearly daylight; leave Jenny to me now.”-
5 I did not ofi'eI-any guarantee for keeping sa-
, cred the confidence I had wrung from her.
Such a course would not have answered with
such a person. She seemed even a little
grateful to -bc relieved, and obeyed me. I'
took my place then beside our patient, and
did not leave her for twelve hours. During
that time the desired change occurred, and
she soon after became convalescent.
The conflict which has hallowed Camilla
Mason’s cheeks and shaken her nerves ap-
peared to have ended with the discovery she
made when she opened Jack Clacs’ letter.
She rallied, resumed her even spirits, was as
icily beautiful as over. One morning in
September, a week after Mrs. Brewster had
started with Jenny for a fortnight of travel,
she came to me and informed me, in a few
cold, explicit words, that she was engaged to
Mr. Holt. I was scarcely surprised; I was
rather gratified. She had been in love with
Jack Clues; but. such statues do not suffer
much from such disappointments, I argued;
and, in a worldly way, Sylvester Holt was a
“great catch.” At that time I think the mem-
ory of the blue, blazing eyes and stained
cheeks I had seen that August night must
have faded from me.
She was to. remain and be married from
my house. She said, when I asked her to do
so: “I have neither home nor friends, Miss
Dcnby: I shall be glad to stay." Mr. Holt
wished her to go to Bostox with him and se-
lect new furniture for iis house before their
marriage. He likewise extended the invita-
tion to me to accompany them, and I accept-
ed it, as Camilla would not go otherwise. I
had made up my mind that she should accept
a bridal dress as my present. I was all the
while trying to case my conscience t0wcrds
her; and then, too,I believe no one in the
world enjoys wedding preparations so well
as an old maid. '
We had a delightful week in Boston. I
was twice as zealous as the bride elect, who,
in truth, was not zealous at all. Mr. Holt
spent his money like a prince, and mfmifi-
cence makes even a man who coughs like a
cat, agreeable. His present to Camilla was a
set of pearls; he remembered me with a cash-
mere sliawi of such royal dimensions that I
shall certainly have to quarter it before I can
wear it.
We had a couple of weeks left, after our re-
turn to Thorpe, prior to the day fixed for the
wedding. .They were busy weeks, I assure
you. I used to look at Camilla—superb in
her haughty indifference—and think what a
magnificent mistress she would be for Mr.
Holt’s magnificent mansion! She seemed
neither happy nor unhappy. I had no pa-
tience with her coldness. I was afraid that
underneath her calm she was hiding her
thwarted passion, and, though I believe in
love, old maid that I am, I didn’t. believe that
love was what Camilla Mason required!
A few days prior to the day, Jenny Brew-
ster came in. Of course‘shc was shown the
bridal fincry.
“Corded silk,” she commented, examining
the make of the wedding dress. “Very pret-
ty ; but why in the world did you have it high
neck? I’m going to have low neck and a
Honiton berths.”
I saw a gray shade go over Camilla’s face.
“It is all decided then, ch ?” I asked of J cu-
ny. She colored and acted as if she had said
what she didn’t mean to.
It was me night before the wedding. I
had written to Jack that he must come on. I
thought Camilla might as well get over her 5
weakness first as last. He had not yet or-
rived, though, and I was in considerable
trouble about it. ,
Camilla would seldom allow me to leave
her alone with her lover, but that night, both
from having some things to see to and from
a fceling of humanity toward the man who
had given me a cashnwrc, I left. the parlor at'
nine o’clock, and went, to make a final review
of the preparations, which had progressed
finely. The jellies were exhibiting more con- i
sistcncy in their conduct than home-made jel-
lies generally d6. The frosting of the cakes
had neither blister-ed or cracked. The bor-
rowed silver was safe under lock and key.
Up stairs in the spare chamber, the white silk
spread amply over the bed. The boxes con- =
mining gloves, fan and-veil, were in their ap~
pointed places. The pearls, owing to my
precaution, were hidden from sight in the ,
shoe bag. I went down stairs saying to my- |
self : “She certainly is going to do well l” i

arrival of my father (whom he recognized),
:; accompanied by a man whom illness had
obliged to sloptherc. This man was Philip
Henderson. Thencws we got of his death
was false. He had heard in some way of my
approaching marriage, and threatened my
father with exposure, and the ignominious
punishment consequent upon it, unless he at
once fulfilled the agreement and obliged me
to become his wife. They had started for
Thorpe when Mr. Henderson’s illness forced
them to stop at Rivet-bend. Mr. Clacs’ recog-
nition of my father led to his becoming ac—
quainted with the circumstances I have relat-
ed to you. He took it upon himself to bring
me this news. My father commands Inc to
come to him at once, forbids me to marry
Mr. Holt; assures me that if I disregard him
his very life will be at Philip Henderson’s
mercy. Under such circumstances I have
no choice. My father has a right to me."
She told the story without faltering for an in-
stunt.
“My poor child !” var: all I had strength to
say. 0
“Mr. Clues has gone, with this news, to Mr.
Holt,” she continued. “To you I shall have
to leave the disagreeable task of breaking the
circumstances to the Thorpe people. I wish
to be ready to take the noon train for River-
bend.” . .
Well, well! I was nigh bewildered. I
thought of the gossip, and of the cake, and of
Camilla, and couldn’t separate anything.
The front‘blinds were closed; the story set
a- going, J nck and Camilla smuggled off.
Three days after, as my ideas were begin-
ning to settle, a- lcttcr from Camilla announc-
ed Philip Henderson’s death. Then I could-
n‘t help thinking that if Jack Clues had just
kept his foot out of it, Camilla might have
been Mrs. Sylvester Holt, and nobody hurt!
The milk was spilt, however, and no use
grieving!
Mr. Mason was, as his daughter had said, a
dissolutc and immoral man, and at that time
a mere wreck, who could not survive his‘dis-
sipation much longer. He gladly agreed to
leave Camilla in peace, upon condition of re-
cciviug a small annuity from her earnings.
The poor girl wished to return to Thorpe fiir
a few months. “I can live this horrid story
down, better,” she said, “where I am known
than among strangers.” Of course, I did not
hesitate in agreeing with her, nor in offering
her such protection as my endorsement of her
conduct afforded. ‘
Jack accompanied her on her return. I
admired him for being so kind to her, but,
then, Ithoughtlie liked an excuse for run-
ning up to Thorpe. Any other girl would
have rather shrunk from the society of a man
to whom she had given her preference un-
sought and in vain;but, I. think, Camilla
rather courted the exquisite asufl‘criug which
the complete self control she manifested with
J ack must have cost her.
It was now November. The day of their
return to Thorpe happened to be Martinmas
—a (lull, sullen Autumnal day, and our spit--
its weI-eall heavy and. dull like the (lay. Af-
ter dinner we were rather surprised by the
arrival of Mrs. Brewster, who, with some
awkward hesitation, asked Jack if she could
see him a fcwminutcs alone. He took her
into the parlor, where there was no fire. A
vague uneasiness possessed me. I had heard
rumors that Jenny Brewster had another 1ij
or. Just what I would have expected in the
little min?! and I was getting my temper
up at the idea of her trifling with my boy!
Mrs. Brewster’s stay was brief; she did not
even return to the sitting room to bid Camilla
and me good day. I waited ten—fifteen min-
utes : there was no sound erfJack. Then
I went softly and opened the parlor door.
Jack sat there, his head bowed on the back of
a chair he had drawn in front of him—indifl
f'ercntly apparently, to the chilly, gloomy
room, to everything but: his own thoughts.
“My poor boy," I salt , “what is this—‘3”
He started up and laughed at my look of
woe-begonc sympathy.
“Aunt Sue,” he said, as though he was
communicating a capital joke, “I’ve got the
mitten !”
“That ccutcmptible little Jenny Brewster
hasn't—" .
“Yes she has. Her ‘ma’ says that they met
a young man on their travels last Summer,
and Jenny discovered she had never known
what love meant before, and—"
“J :ick Clues,” I interrupted, “what ever
made you such a fool as to full in love with
Jennie Brewster?”
“Aunt Sue," he answered, “I felt that I had
gone pretty far with Jennie—fitthcr than I
ever meant to. And she made me believe
that her very lifewould be the forfeitof her un-
requited affections ;” his eyes twinklcd again.
“During the week or two before she came
down with that fever her mother wrote me
that Jennie was going in a declincmnd ac-
cused me of having triflcd with her, insinua-
ting that my conduct would cost 1101‘ child’s
life. I couldn’t stand that. I Offered myself
by return mail.”
“Without really caring for her ?"
“I—I—" he stainmered; Aunt Sue, I de—
s .
had not heard him cough once within the
past hour. ‘ ' i
The following morning dawned gloriously, !
with the glow and sparkle which October i
mornings have. The wedding preparations 1
had encroachcd everywhere, so we were eat- :
lug biscuits from the pile of which Nancy was
making sandwiches, and drinking our coffee
standing, in the kitchen. All ofa-suddcn, in
walked J ack Clues. He looked strangely ex-
cited. “Camilla,” he said, abruptly, “i must
see you a minute.” She set her cup down
and followed him, without a word. ;
A half hour passed. I was beginning to get
flurried, when the street door shut pretty
loudly, and Cumilla’s voicesaid from the par-
lor: “Miss Denby.” . .
Iwent directly to her.
it ?”
“I shall not be married 10-day,” she said, in
the most ordinary of tones. “I have to go
away.”
Idrew in mybrcatb. My hands went up,
palms outward, but not a syllable did I say.
“Something has occurred—something very
unexpected. I cannot marry Mr. Holt. I
had no right. to promise to marry any one.”
I gasped at her, still without speaking.
“I only wish that I had not delayed until
now acquainting you with my history,” she
continued. “I must tell you what is necessa-
ry as briefly as possible. I have but one rcla-j
live in the world—my father; It is hard for
me to have to tell you that he is a dissolutc,
immoral man. But he was an indulgent fath-
cr,and,spite of his faults,I once loved him
dearly. But he became involved, and in the
power of a man who, as the price of shielding
and saving him, required that I should mur-
ry him. I was powerless, and I consented,
but my loathing for the man was such that on
the very eve of the proposed marriage I ran
away. It was then I went. to England. The
difficulty of supporting myself there forced
me, at the end of a year, to return. I had
been six months in Thorpe when my father
discovered my whereabouts, and came after
me. It was my meeting with im of which
Mr. Claes was the involuntary Witness. At
that time we believed that Philip Henderson
——thc man in whose power he was—was dead.
He had entered the Confederate service when
the war broke out, deserted, been rc-capturcd,
and hung, as we heard, for dcscrtiou. Dur-
ing the your and a-haif I had been parted
from my father I had acquired an utter-loath-
fling for the life I had led with him. I be-
‘sought him not to persecute inc, and agreed to
send him half my earnings, which I have
done. I never expected to see him again.

We went into the sitting room together.

The Rowaywn Oyster Trude.
We spoke recently of the honorable and
estimable character of oystcrmen, and of the
large amount of capital and labor invested in
the business. Among the more enterprising,
the profits are quite heavy; and although
uncertain and varying at seasons, owing to
causes not always to be guarded against, or
even sometimes known, yet take it altogether
few occupations; yield a more compensating
return.
The oyster beds are all staked out to the
different owners, by commissioners elected
by the people; under well defined laws of
the state. Every man, woman and child,
resident in the State, is entitled to select two
acres of oyster ground, not previously ap-
propriated, anywhere within the waters of
the State. As but comparatively few of our
people care to avail themselves of this privi:
logo, the practice is for oystermcn to pur-
chase, ata nominal sum, from their friends,
the right, up to any amount of ground they
can afford.
Any citizen wishing to'commcuce this bus-
iness must first make application himself,
and get his friends to (lo the same in the fol-
lowing form:
“To the Committee appointed bv the Town
of Norwalk to dcsiginate suitdblc places
in. the Navigable Waters of this State, 1 lug
Within the limits of said town for the p ant-
ing of‘ oysters, in accordance with the provi—
sions of the Act of 1855 entitled ‘An Act reg-
pelgtiiig and protecting the Planting of Oys-
Thc undersigned respectfully requests that
you will designate a suitable place, not ex;
seeding two acres in area. in the navigable
waters of this State, lying within said town,
to be used by this applicant for the Plantinnr
of Oysters.” a
This application having been sent to the
Commissioners and granted, if obtained by a
friend, must. then be transfered in form, as
follows:
“Know all Men by these Presents: That
in consideration of dollars, received
to full satisfaction Of . do hereby sell,
transfer, and convey to the said all my
certain Oyster plantation in said as dee-
ignatcd by the Committee of said town for
that purpose appomted, with the Oysters
therein pla utcd, and described as follows:
ii "5 £5 ~25 5? 5% ii-
To have and to hold the premises with all
their appurtenances to ‘ the said
heirs executors, administrators and assigns,
accordingto the prcVisions of the Statute
Law of this State relating to the planting of
Oysters.” _ ‘ ,
Nearly all the ground in shallow water,
hereabouts. are staked out. In the deeper
water, where a sloop and n ding will have
to be used, there is still much choice ground
to be obtained. Our Dnricu Commissioners,
Messrs. Oliver Cook George \Valmsley and
Richard Bates, have staked out over 1,500
acres. The beds when planted, will average
in value, fifty dollars an acre, making a total
cash vs no of $75,000 already invested here-
abouts. In the town of Norwalk nearly,
three times this amount is occupied. A good
piece of ground, well seeded, will yield from
400 to 500’lmshcls to the acre.
The new method of seeding by planting
oyster shells, is altogether the most success-
ful; one bushel of shells, scattered broad~
cast, will yield from two to four bushels of
good, merchantablc oysters in four years.—
Thc old method was to plant small oysters,
seedlings, caught with a dredge, draggfl le-
liind a sail boat or sharpie, on public ground.
These public grounds are Where the oysters
grow naturally. The law requires that all
such ground shall be set apart for the public
use, and no stakes are there allowed to be
set up. :
No finer sight can well be imagined than
the Sound on a fine summer day, over these
public oyster beds. Sometimes as many as
fifty vessels, of nearly every size and form,
from the smallest sail boat up to the largest
sloop, may be seen sailing back and forth
over these waters. ,
The best season for planting oyster seed is
fi‘om ist- May to the lst of November; and
about three or four hundred bushels of eith-
er the sufif oysters, or the shells are usually
planted tothe acre. .
The oyster season for selling, is from the
let of November to the fist of May. . After
the lst of May they commence spawning, and
should not be gathered. This spawning
period may be detected by the milky up-
pearancc of the oyster. Immediately after
the spawning, the oyster appears thin and
watery. ' _ '
The quality of our oysters fire of the very
best. They are known in the market as the
East Rivers and bring nearly double the
price of Virginia or other Southern oysters.
The Philadelphia North American. last. Dc-
ccmbcr speaks as follows :—
“THE Overu as. cox IN PHILADELPHIA.
——Oystars were never in better condition than
they now are. An old time caterer tells is
that whereas in many former years choice
oysters had to be searched for with care, he
now very rarely encounters any of third rate
of excellence. At. Spruce Sire-ct ivhz'irf‘, on
Saturday, we saw them as solid as a piece of
pork and aboutlhe size and thickness of :1

along been plentiful, and even the smallest:
‘cullins’ are as delicious and as plump as the
lai‘gerand higher grades. Inn. 0, the best
oysters are not the largest in any other re-
spect than in price. An oyster, of which the
shell is about two inches in diameter and '
that feels, when you lift it, like a stone, is the

The overgrown ones, like ovc 'growu fruit or
vegetables, lack the delica. _ Offlavor found
in the smaller sizes. Lovers of prime oysters
may indulge cheaply in the luxury until the
river closes. The oystermen, fearing the
latter event, are bending every nerve to brake
big hauls. Some of our readers doubtless
remember when those people sold oysters at
five cents per bushel, and were glad to dis-
pose of them evén at that figure. ’l‘iiut ei'u,
however, has gone by.”
The Baltimore Sun of Dec. Gill says,
“Tim OYSTER TuxDE or Bam'moun—Thc

in Virginia waters. Next to Baltimore the
largest number of oysters are taken to New

of 1,050,000 bushels. Fairliaven, Conn., re-
ceives 700,000; Philadelphia 400,000, and
Boston 350,000 bushels. These figures apply
only to oysters taken in Maryland and Vir-
ginia waters, the yield of the former averagn

2,065,000 bushels, or an aggregate being 6, .
945,000. There are 1,000 vessels of an aver-.
age tonnage of fifty tons each, engaged in.

Sunday Schools In theSouth.
A missionary of the American Sunday-
school Union at Atlanta, who was formerly a
member of Rev. Dr. Cuyler’s church, in
Booklyn, writes:
“The field opens here grandly. Mr. R. G.
Partlee, who. is now here, says this is the
most important post for S.-S. missionary
work in the whole United States, and that the
Am. S.-S. Union ought to raise 9500,0000.
year for the next five years. I organized a
Sunday-school last Sunday, away out in the
woods ten miles from town. I had 164 schol~
are to start with. There were nearly 300
persons present, some of them coming five
miles afoot. There were no less than seven
men there who had come various distanfis
from four to seven miles, to get ‘the Sunday-
school man’ to ‘comc over and help’ them.
There had never been a ‘Sunday—school man’
there before. I am to organize two new
school next Sunday: one a colored school,
which will probably start 200 strong.”
Mr. R. G. Partlce held the first of his Sab-
bath-school conventions in the Southern
States ' at Charlottesville, Va, March 8th.
The meeting was a success. He says:
“I found five or six good church schools,
four neighborhood mission-schools, and sev-
eral colored Sabbath-schools Charlottesville
and around about. Some of the devoted
Christian young men from the University of
Virginia walked 5 1-2 miles to Ragged Moun-
tain and back again each Sabbath, to sustain
two schools. In the university a white and
a colored school are taught every Sunday.
“I saw a map of Albcmarle County,'drawn
by one of the Sunday-school workers, with a
pen, noting down something like fifty white
and ten colored Sunday-schools, scattered
into every town and section.”

WThe murder of the Hon. G. W. Ash<
burn in Columbus, Georgia, was one of the
most cowardly of the many assassinations of
Union men by which the south displays its
fitness for representation and its peaceful
condition. Mr. Asiiburn’s crime consisted in
the fact that he was an active and influential
member of the republican party, and had
done much toward organizing the negroes of
his neighborhood into political associations.
For this crime the Ku KluxKlan marked
him as an object of their vengeancc,.and to
the number of fifteen or twenty hideously
disguised, masked and armed, found their
way into the house where he boarded and
shot him in his bed room. He had done
nothing tomake himself odious to the rebels
who were his murderers, save that he had
been a member of ”the Georgia convention
and exerted all his influence to bring back
his state, in accordance withtlie cohgrEésion«
al policy of reconstruc tion. For several days
before his murder, the Columbus Sun con-
tained several mysterious notices of the “K.
K. K.” that some horrible and mysterious
event would take place. ts predictions have
been fulfilled and a reign of terrornow exists
throughout the neighborhood. We are glad
that General Mead has announced his inten-
tion of putting down those cowardly SCOliH-
drcls by military force. He will have the
sympathy of every decent ~citizen in his
The Vain-03nd Use of‘Amusement.
The Rev. Marvin R. Vincent, of the First
Presbyterian church, in Troy, has published
four discourses upon the value of amusement
as a force in Chistian training, which ought
to have a wider circulation than they are
likely to obtain in- their present form. The
author takes up the cause of cheerful Christ- ,
ianity, and answers the arguments of those
who seek to find something wicked in man}r
of the innocent and healthful games of the
day.
It is held to be innocent for boys to play
marbles, but sinful to play dominoes; it is
sinful to play billiards, but highly graceful
and innocent to play croquet. Mr. Vincent
fails to see the ethical distinctions here ex-
pressed ; he finds it difficult to distinguish be-
tween the wickedness of balls of iron and
the good of balls of wood; between mallets
and cues, and between gree baize and green
grass. A Christian household must not sit
down to a game of whist, according to some
authorities, but. they can spend a pious eve-
ning over Dr. Busby; the game involving a
good deal Of healthy mental exertion is con-
demned, while the silly, profitless cards are
admitted. Mr. Vincent writes:
“Youth must not dance, but they may
such to music in company, and go through
calistlicnic exercises involving a good deal
more motion than dancing. But if people
may march to music and be guiltles's, it is
very hard to see how skipping to music con.
vorts the exercise into sin. It is said that the
associations make the difference '; but the ad-
vocate of this theory is shut up to proving
that the associations are insepcrable from the
amusement. Now I ask, in the name of com-
mon sense, why not devote a little Christian
care in scperating its abuses, and regulating
in its conduct- an exercise which improves
the bearing of our youth and tends to relieve
their natural awkwardness in society, and
gives them innocent exhilaration? When
our Young Men’s Christian Association, of
Troy, furnished their new room, they did so
on the principle that prayer meetings and re-
ligious periodicals, though important in their
place, would not of themselves suffice to at-
tract young men from'without. They had
tried the experiment in their forlorn rooms,
under ii machine shop in an ont-of—the-wa
place, furnished as a minaturc chapel, and a
very seedy one at that; and the result was
that about six months ago the association
was in a fair way to die and make no sign.—
Youug men would not go to that dismal hole
to spend an evening when more attractive
places aboundcd in the city; and I would not
if I had been in their place. But the associa-
tion got a new lease of life. ‘ It engaged large,
airy, pleasant rooms, in a central position.
Iii-:cpt its prayer meeting room neatly and
appropriately furnished,but it added a large
social parlor, its walls adorned with pictures,
a fine piano invitingly open, the best current
periodicals, secular and tell gious, upon the
tables, and games of checkers, chess and
dominoes distributed about the room. The
young men came in crowds. They were
thrown at once in contact with the Christian
youth of every church in the city, with the
city pastors, with committees, specially ap-
pointed by the churches to titke strangers in
charge, with good music, religious literature
and innocent amusement.”
We learn from authentic sources that the
rooms of the Troy association became so
popular that the keepers of places of amuse-
ment of a less refined character uttered loud
complaints, and attempted to bring about a.
schism in the ranks by spreading abroad false
reports. But the cheerful rooms of the
young men prevailed, and great good is daily
accomplished. Mr. Vincent makes some'ud-
mil-able hits at the fallacy in the arguments
of those who would shut out all amusements.
He says that some people (xclaim: “Think
of Paul dancing, of Peter playing billiards!
Do you think we shall have checker boards
in Heaven ?” Well, think of him! Think
of Paul wearing a. blue swallow=tziilcd coat;
with brass buttons ! Think of Peter skating,
cutting figures of eight, and performing
“outer edge backwards.” Think of John
in a white cravat, or of Bartholomew putting
up scidlitz powders, or of Timothy running
with a fire engine! How would they have
looked? “'Would you play chess; on your
death bud? Probably not, my friend.—
' Neither would I put on my boots. or do a
gr at. many very innocent things.”
The mind must have some relaxation. Let
it be furnished with respectable associations,
and then anmsemcnts will not he sought in
' place: which lead down to ruin.
