The Ballot St. John‘s.

nr nouns ssnonxr,

u a huge and-smoky foundry close by the
arves in the town'of B——, a gang of
rkuien were getting ready to cast the lar-
1 bell of the St. John’s Cathedral chime.
Iy an hour more and they would let the
ring, bubbling metal ﬂow from the huge
uace into the meld which was buried
-p in the black earth close by.

Curtis just at evening, aud.iu the gather-
:;tw.i_light the lurid‘blue ﬂames that burst
tn the tap ot'Ihe tall chimney ﬂashed un-
thly gin-aims upon the neighboring W111-
ws and house-tops. ‘ _
l‘he scene within the foundry was weird
at almost awful. The swnrthy forms of the
rkmen,p irtly lighted by the yellow glare,
-ved about like ’l‘artarisn shadows, and
e sooty beams and pouderous chains cros-
g half black, half golden,under the glow-
; roof. recalled the engines of the Cyclops
der Mt. Elna. ‘
1‘he town clock struck six. It was time
supper. All the men threw down their
>15, and ran and put on their outer clo-

il'l .

"Bge back in half an hour, sharp i" cried

e forge master. “We shall make the cast

quarter of seven."

“All right, sir i" cried the men in rt-

01188.

‘I hear some of the town folks are com-

g down to see the work,” said one-

“Yes," said another, “and it’ll be some

ing to open their eyes. There was never

ch a belle-1st in the whole State as this
to will be." ’

In a moment more only one workman

er, and he would make a .supper on what

“Perhaps we can get the ‘Inventor’ to stay

ith you, George,” said the master, laugh-
lgly, as he prepared to go.

“Yes, where is he 1’" returned the man, in
te same jesting tone.

“He’s been round the works long enough

wer to the summons, :1 shock-haired follow,
(ith large gray eyes, and a pale, vacant
sce,ap cared from behind a pile of cast-
ngs. e had on‘ his back a gray shirt,
auch soiled with dust,and he worea pair of
.uge pantuloons, held up by a single sus-
tender.

“Well, Mopus,” quoth the man George,
lapping him rather roughly on the shoul-
ler; “suppose you’ve got wit enough to help
'ell if anything’s the matter Y”

The young fellowlookcd stupidly around
.nd nodded his head.

"Then sit here and look at that furnace ,

ind don‘t take your eyes off." ,

The poor lad smiled and meekly did as
re was ordered—j ust as an obedient dog
would have laid down to watch his owner’s
:oat. -

A queer fellow was this “Mopus”; stupid
enough in ordinary things to need a world
of watching, but withal wonderfully ﬁt to
watch a furnace. Hz.- knew all the working
of the laundry, by what seemed a sort of
brute instinct, though really his strange
sagacity in this was a remnant of a once
bright mind. '

If anything happened or went in an unu-
sual way, he would always notice it,and say
what ought to be done, though he could not
tell, perhaps, why it ought to be done.

Two years before, he had been an intelli-
gent, promising lad.
designer connected with the ionndry compae‘
ny,and had always been allowed free access
to the shops,aud to mingle with the men and
watch their work. But one day a great lift-
ing chain broke, with its load, and an iron
fragment struck him on the head,iuﬂicting a
serious injury. From this be partially recov-
ered, and only partially, for his reason was
impaired. But his natural love for machinery
and mechanical experiments remained, and
as he regained his bodily strength, he spent
most of his time making small wheels and
shafts,and putting together odd coutrivances
which he would exhibit with immense pride
and satisfaction. -

This peculiar trait in the young fellow
gained for him the humorous title of the

“Inventor.” All the men felt a great kind-
ness for him, even though“their manner to-

ward him was occasionally harsh and impa- '

tient.

Such was the person left to help watch
the great blast for the casting of the king
bell of the chime of St. John’s. Faithfully
he kept his place before the furnace, while
theman George sat down at a litttle distance
and began to eabhis supper. Doubtless the
latter intended? , reep ageneral oversight,
but he certainly ‘. , tie the inventor’s eyes do
the most of th_ “‘ing. Whether he felta
kind of ’reck p,‘ mist in the instinct of his
half-"wilted companion, or indolently con-
cluded that nothing wrong could happen,
he was sadly to blame for charging himself

Little was said, but the few words spoken,

uttered with no mild emphasis, thcﬁnatural
wrath of the master and hands against the
man George, whose excuses for himself only
exaggerated his offense.

“See what he‘s done," said they a few
days later, as theyslood in the half-burned
foundry. "Five thousand dollars gone to

The master, who had more at stake than
the men, of course felt the loss more k only
than they. He almost wept with mingled
grief and rage. Suddenly something pccttl

ed boy's haﬂ ﬂashed upon him.

“Bring men shovel, quick 1" he shouted.

A spade was put into his hands, and he
began nervously to heave away the hot mass
that lay piled over the bell mold. It was a
herculean task, but he worked like a giant,
and three or four of his men took hold and
helped him.

Brick-bats, ore, slag and ashes ﬂew in eve-
ry direction. Presently the master‘s spade

thing hard. lie 3 coped down. Then he
leaped up like one half frantic, and plying

the remaining sand, disclosing what looked
like a great metalic ring. , .

face, “the bell is east 1 ‘- , --

“ \Vho dill this?" mks every cxoitcd vci0e,
as soon as the cheering died away.

“Come with me, two or three of .you 1”
cried the master. “I think I know who did
it. , It's a'miracle !”

_ They hurried away to the home of the
half-witted Tboy. - The attendant met them
with her ﬁnger on her lips,

“The poor boy is in brain i'cver," she said.

"Does he say anything in his delirium ?”
whispered the master.

,. "O,yes,’ heraves all the time about the
big bell mold. ' I hope it will till—I hope it
will ﬁll,” he says.

The men exchanged glances. It was in-
deed true. The idiot had cast the great bell
of St. John’s. Just then the physician came
out. “Perhaps he will recover his reason by
this shock and sickness,” he said. “Such
things have happened.”

“Do you think so ? Pray heaven he niayl"
solemnly ejaculated the master and his men;
and they turned away deeply moved.

Two months later the great bell hung
from a huge derrick in the lathe room of the
factory, and beneath, it stood a heavy truck
upon which it was about to be lowered. A
silence fell upon the group of workmen as
the pale face and feeble form of “Inventor"
appeared, borne in on a small reclining
chair. He had recovered his reason and
was fast getting back his strength. His
large gray eyes instantly fastened themselves
on the hell, that splendid masterpiece,
whose making meant so much to him.
They had told him the whole story of the
casting, and the disaster in the foundry,
11:91 it all sounded like a wild romance to

"I remember nothing that happened,"
said he, shaking his head with a smile. It’s
all new to me, all new and strange—~30
strange !" ' '

“Yes,” said the master devoutly. “It was
God's hand."

Every eye turned upon the invalid. Some
of the men felt almost afraid. it was so much
like a resurrection to have him there among
them, the boy they had known so long un-'
.der-witted, now a young man keen and in-
telligent, as if changed into another being.

“I should like to strike the bell once;" two
men lifted him up and put a,- small hammer
in his hand. ' '_‘““~

Helstruck one gentle blow; A deep sweet

mournful tone, solemn as the distant sound
of distant Waterfalls, rolled from the great
bell and echoed through the foundry. Tears
filled the eyes of the rough men as they
heard it. .

in that, and it may well be in here. Long
may this bell praise God! e saved it in the
ruins of a human brain. Our furnace is re-
built,and behold this dear boy has his reason
again! The bell and the boy shall glorify
9001 together. ' '

"Amen l" murmured all the listeners.

Then the greatibell was lowered, and as
the truck was rolled away with its melodi-
ous burden, the boy was lifted and carried
after it, and both went out into‘t-he inunuy’
day together, the rough men-standing in the
doorways waving their hands.“ ~.

The Fate of Large Landed Estates.

A recent sale is reported of a very hand-
some house and expensive place, visible to
every traveler on the New Haven Road,
which cost some six hundred thousand dol-
lars, for the sum of $850 for taxes. The
ﬁnest place on the Upper Hudson, the
“Montgomery Place,” the former roperty
of the distinguished publicist, nwmn
LIVINGSTON, is said to have been offered for
sale recently for eighteen or twenty thou-
sand dollars. This estate was valued at least
tit-$100,000.. Its park and gardens, and old.
woods and grand views of mountains and
river. are not surpassed in the United States.
Another splendid propery near by, valued
at $100,000, cannot be sold for its mortgages,
which are not large. One of the old Liv-
lngston manors, on the Hudson, has been
offered latcly tor the value of the woods
upon it. The most expensive country house
in the State, in the region back of Pough-
keepsie, it is said. would not sell for the
price of the magniﬁcent columns which
support its interior portico. .On the Lower
Hudson, a conservatory which cost $50,000,
and whose ﬂowers cost $80,000, is found to
be such a. burden that the widow of the
owner is glad to sell the ﬂowers for a 1n-
ﬂing sum, and leave the building unused.

These facts in regard to ex ensive proper-
ties are not peculiar to the udson. Thltéy
are characteristic of the Whole country ‘ 0
man who has built up a place coating more
than a‘hundred thousand dollars can expept
his heirs to keep it tip, unless it be in an ex-
ceptionally desirable position, or reserved
for future division into village or town lots.
The fact may as well be accepted by our
citizens, that this is not the land for: very
elegant and expensive private properties in
the country districts. Grand effects in land«
scape gardening, beautifully laid-out groves
and lawns, long . stretches of Sreenswnrd,
masses of old trées, and all the superb
beaut of the large estates of England,

for the people, in public parks, gardens,
and cemeteries. Landscape artihcre must
be for the million, and not for the few.

All those gentlemen who, on the Hudson or
near Boston, or elsewhere, have, after years
of patient labor, produced such gems of

The reasons for this state of things are ob-
vious. They are not to be lamented over.
The want bath of primogeniture and, what
is more important, of the custom of trans-
mission to the eldest son, will always tend
tobreak up properties. Thcn, even it one
of the children inherits the land and sufﬁ-
cient means to take care of it, the drift of
all rural families of large means is toward
the cities and watering-places. Country
life does not please our wealthy people.
Moreover, a residence on an estate gives
here no practical importance. But the great

Tuesday, October 26, 1875,..will be a
day long to be remembered inrthe history-
of this old and time-honoredlSociety. . In
the one hundred and ﬁfty years of its ex-
istence, perhaps no temporal'event has
caused so much interest‘nnd'univcrsal
good feeling and rejoicing as the placing.
of 0. Pipe Organ in the gallery of the
Church ediﬁce. oi. Christmas evening, -
1874, the choir of the Church gave a‘Con-
cert, the proceeds of which wereto aid‘in
the purchase of an Organ, and ten months

great satisfaction to the audience present
on that evening. The Pastor of the
Church, Rev. 8. J. M. 111‘ _ ' , wits
present and congratulated oni: having a
people to preach to who showed their ap-
pre'ciation of his services and love for
him personally in such a substantial and
agreeable manner. The Organ, we doubt

At the close of Part. I, PrOl’. Edward
Olmstead, a Deacon of the Church, intro-
duced a resolution, which was seconded
by the Pastor, Rev. Mr.. Merlin, highly
complimentary to Mr. R. J. Johnston, the:
Chorister, for his very valuable services
and aid rendered in procuring the Organ.
If he was deserving of even a tithe of the
credit given him by Prof. 'Olmstead, in a
speech which for eloquence and heart-
feeling has never been equalled in that
Church, he has surely not been a slow
worker and never wearied in prosecuting
the object of his desires.

Mr. Johnston felt that if the resolution—
had been one of censure or a severe
critique for a'thoughfless or’iimlvertent
word or act, he could, possibly, have re-
plied in a becoming manner, laud1not ap-
pear to such disadvantage as a._speaker,
but as it was just the opposite=he was
overwhelmed with the “novelty” of his
situation, for he .had been in the habit of.
receiving through life more vituperation
than sweet speeches, more censure than
praise, more stand 011' I am holler than
thou commands than Come unto me' in-
vitations, therefore he could only reply by
his looks of pride and satisfaction at the
feeling of the audience toward him as
evinced in the remarks of the Professor
and Mr. Merwin and the heartiness of the
vote given.

Mr. Johnston then, spoke of the hearty
manner in which \he was supported by the
Choir. and the people, and referred par?
ticularly to the beautiful and artistic man-
ner in which the pulpit had been festooned
every Sabbath through the Spring and
Summer by MissJennie Olmstesd, and of

people in general at all the 80015wa which

Fund. - He then presented to Miss Olm-
stead, on behalf of the Church'a, beautiful
Toilet Set and Bouquet Vase (silver and
glass) as "a'mark'of appreciation of the
labor bestowed and the taste displayed in
the ﬂoral decorations and gave a trans-
lation of _ the following-Latin quotation
which was printed at the close of Part 1.,

many in the audience:
“ Auotor. pretiosa. facit.”

The giver makes the gift precious. Miss
Olmstead was entirely taken by surprise

beautiful gift. At the close of the pro-
gramme on page 4 we observed the follow-
ing “ Whisper” which we think very
neatly put and, we would like to learn the.

to return our sincerethank's to the ztriends who so
kindly seconded our stone in the endeavor to
purchase an Organ. Not quite one year has
elapsed since we gave our ﬁrst Concert, the pro-
ceeds of which were to be devoted to form the
nucleus of an Organ Fund, and yet to-day we have

Church at an expense of $1.500. The friends who
so promptly aided and encouraged us at the very
outset, with money as well as words of cheer,
shall ever be remembered by us with fervent gra-
titude, among which none were more active
with purse and voice than our pastor, Rev. S. J

look on our eﬁ'orts. with a jealous eye, and that
others would frown on any improvement which
would incur the expanding of money, and in this
also we were not disuppOintcd, but though we did
receive rebuffs where we least expected, neverthe-
less we are glad to be able to say that in numbers
and inﬂuence they were alike insigniﬁcant, and
we only hope that they may live long to enjoy
the pleasure of hearing the music furnished by
the liberality ‘of their neighbors and the friends
01 the Society and of Christian worship. We trust
that the Organ will be an acquisition to the Church,
and by its aid we may be enabled to more effectu-
ally second our Past or in his efforts to attract our
friends and neighb hrs to hear the preached word,
and then we shall. hope and pray that the seed
thus sown may spring up and bring forth fruit to
the honor and glory of God. There are a large
number whom we have not had an opportunity t9
call on, who, we are morally certain, will contri-
bute enough to pay the balance required for the
purchase. We shall endeavor to call on all such'
very soon. We cannot refrain from expressing
our gratitude to the friends goon-residents of
Wilton) who so generously give of their money
and inﬂuence, and we expect at a. later day to
acknowledge the honor so worthily earned. . .

The Organ we believe will add to the repu-
tation of the builder, Geo. W. Earle, L. 1., as a
ﬁrst-class Manufacturer of Church Organs,

At the close of the Concert the entire
audience adjourned to the Lecture-room
where refreshments were served free and

APPLETONS’
AMERICAN CYCLUPEDIA.

NEW REVISED EDITION.

Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every

subject. Printed from new type, and illustrnto

it} with Several Thousand 'ngravirigs and
ups. '

The work originally published under the title of
“The New American O'l'clopaedia” was com leted
in 1363, since which time the wide circu tron
which it has nttainedjn all parts 01 the United
States, and of the signal developments which
have taken place in every branch of science, lite-
rature, and art, have induced the editors and uh-
lishers to submit it: to an exact and thoroug re-
vision, am! to issue a new edition entitled THE
AMERICAN Crowns-mu. .
Within the last ten years the progress of discov-
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
new work of reference an imperative want. .
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great' wars and consequent revolutions have oc-
curred, involving national changes or peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume or
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a new course of commercial and industrial ac-

In preparing the present edition for the press, it .
has accordingly. been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account or
the most recent discoveries in sciencc,of every
tl'esh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and_ with the most ample re-
:pnrces for carrying it into a successful termina-
on.
None 01 the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on new
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopzedla, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
with far greater pecuniary expenditure, and With
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowle ge. _ , ,
‘The illustrations which are introduced for the
ﬁrst time in the present edition have been added
not‘for the sake of lctorial etrect, but to giye
greater lucidity and orce to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all; branches of science
and natural history, and depict the mostfamons
and remarkable features of scenery, architecture
and art, as'well as the various recesses of me-
chanics and manufactures. All: ough intended
for instruction rather than embellishment, no
pains have been spared to insure their artistic ex-
cellence ' the cost of their execution is enormous,
and it is believed that they will ﬁnd a welcome re-
ception as an admirable feature of the Cycloptedia,
and worthy 01 its high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. It Will be completed in
sixteen large octnvo volumes, each containin
about 800 ages, fully illustrated with several
thousand ood Engravmgs, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps. .
