But in vain; the ey¢s of my fellow-passenger haunted me; i saw them as distinctly as if my own were open. Was she watching me still? Involuntarily I looked up and round,and my look mei hers, full, burning, intense, with far more of mvan- ingin it than I could atallfachom. It was ge tiing decidedly unpleasant, and I was grow- ing decidedly uncomfortable; try as 1 mizht, I could not keep my eyes closed; hers were on Ime, and meet them I must. In her attitude, too, as well as in her look, there was something strange and mysterious. Huddled up in the corner, she seemed to be holding something close pressed to her,beneath the long loose mourning cape, bending low over it in a crouching posture. Once or twice, her eyes still fixed Ge mine, I saw her Shiver; but for that slight convulsive move- ment she sat perfectly still and motionless.

What should I try next? 1 looked at my Watch—11:30: our train speeding on ata furious rate, no chance of a stop} for some time to come, and the full wide-open gaze of my motionless companion not for one moment re- moved from my face. It was unpleasant cer- tainly. If Icbanged my position, faced the window instead of her, she must remove her eyes from my face atlast. But there was a fort of fascination about her and her look, which I preferred meeting to shirking, know- ing 1t was on me all the time. here Was nothing for it, then, but to give ‘up all hope of sleep, and make the best of my Position and compation, whom I now observed tore closely. That she was a lady there could be littie doubt; there was that in her dress and appearance that was unmistakable. That sho Was pretty, there could be little doubt either; those great’ dark, intensely dark eyes, the thick coils of Warm burnished hair, the small pale features, seen dimly beneath the veil; yes, she Was young, pretty, a lady, and in trouble So far I got, but no further. How came she to be trav: lng alone at that time of night, and with that look on her face? What could 1: be that she was holding pressed so closely to her, and yet so carefully kept out of sighi?

Ashamed, I withdrew my gaze at once, and drawing out my note-book, was about to make a memorandum, when, with a sudden forward movement, she fell at my feet, arresting my bsxd by the agonized grasp of her own, its burning contact sending thrdogh me a paintul thr “Don’t betray me!

WORK. H A Popular Sovg Writer, and His Method ef Composing. Henry C. Work, the author of many popular songs, says in & recent letter: “You are aware that popular music must be very simple, Nine-tenths of the people are Still in the primer, musically. It would be easter for me to have written something more aiMcult of execution and more pleasing to the though there is no reason ibis should = be — . in- asmuch as it Is artistically correct, But, as & rule, classical music does not pay, pecant- arily, for publishing. The demand is lim- ited. Thoee who can appreciate it are too few. | It T have any mission to write, it {3 to write for ‘the people,” and, In accordance with the false theories of the day, I expect and am accus- tomed to bave my productions sneered at by those who deem themselves purely ‘classical.’ Nothing, however, pieases and encourages me more than to meet with those who can are. ciate the beauties of classical music and at the same time perceive the necessity and util- ity of those simpler and more elementary com- Positions which the people must haveor starve —musically.” His mode of composition 1s moat peculiar. Music and words form themselves in his brain, and are submitted to paper and sent to puoll cation without ever being tried on any instru- mentor heard from any lips. In addition to other songs he 1s the author of “Grandfather's Clock,” “Babylon ts Fallen,” “Echo Dell.” Cae Mystic Vell,” “A Thousand Years,” and “Joy in Heaven.” The latter is the moat ambitious and poweriul of his compositions, and the a*. count of the singular cir stances attending its concept:on. gathered from his letters by u jan Francisco, cannot fall to laterest the public. Soon after he came to Procklyn, and whtle Msteatng to Mr. Beecher’s choir, he began to feel a strong desire to write something for them to aay composition more elaborative, im- aginative and descriptive than an anthea; something greater aud grander than he had ever before undertaken, He was closely occu- pied all day, Dut began to collect material mentally, and finally commenced to compo3e the melody and words as he walked to the ferry, sat In the cabin, or stood at bis case tn the printing office. All day long he hummed it over, continually changing, improving, per- fecting. At the further end of the room were a dozen steam presses, under the cover of whose continuous thunder he was sheltered from D jotice. Occasionally, after puzzling for hours over a knotty point, a sudden light would flash upon his mind, and the jong-sought harmontes burst. upon him with such exceeding grandeur that he found himself almost overcome with excite- ment and quite oblivious to typographical dis- Unctions; yet, as his employers seemed sails- fled, he must have, during the greater portion of the time, carried on simultaneously two dis- Unct varieties of composition, each requiring close meptal effort. At noon and during every odd interval he penctiled on scraps of paper the literary and musical efforts. In the even- ing he assorted and compilea them, working under the greatest disadvantage in & sitting- room where there was everything to distract the mind. On Saturday the manuscript was completed, and he sent it to Mr. Beecher, with an explan- atory note, hoping that he, after looking over it, would immediately send it to the choir, and that they would examine it at thelr rehearsal that evening. There ensued a painful strain of nervous suspense. At last he wrote turea notes, one after the other, requesting the re- turn of the MS3., but recetved no reply. Just ashe was completely discouraged daybreak came, and a note from Henry Camp, the organ- ist, stating that he wou'd be pleased to sing ‘the composition as an opening anthem. The famous Piymouth church choir of seventy voices was to slog his melodies, and the great organ, with one exception the largest and finest jn the United States, was to echo his harmontes.

Jessa Helfmann’s Part in It. A late London paper gives this sketch of desea Helfmann, the temale nibilist, whose ex- ecution has been postponed, and who has just given birth to a still-born child. Jessa Helt- mann was the hostess of the conspiracy, and kept open houce for all manner of conspirators. ‘This was her function, her self-imposed task.

We know not who invented this instrument of horse torture, but we know he did not under- stand the anatomy and physiology of the eye of ‘The Revised New Testament. ‘The long expected revised translation of the | New Testament was presented to the public | yesterday. The translation—as a translation— must be pronounced a gratifying succes It | embodies the mature results of the scholarship of two centuries and a half, applied to the emendation of the text, and to the correction of errors In the translation of what,in any view disputants may take of It, is the most important of all books. Nevertheless the n:w version may be objected to by the two oppo- site parties among the critics; those who think, for example, that the Second Epistle of Peter should have been left out and those who think that the doxology at the end of the Lord's Prayer should have been retained (Matt. vi, 13). But with the — of the authenticity of particular bocks, the translators manifestly ‘hought they had nothing to do, while it was their business to restore the text of their canonical books to as near the original as possi- ble, And this they have done. Thay have omitted, very properly, the famons passage (1 Jobn y, 7, 5), 80 that It now simply reads: “For there are tnree who bear witness the Sprit, epd the water and the blood.” On the other hand, while retaining the episode in John of the woman taken in adultery, and the last twelve verses of Mark, which are questioned by scholars as being no part of the orizinai text, they bave separated them both by a wide fpecing from the context. The other omissions sy few in number and unimportant tn charac- er, The removal of the headings to chapters, which are a modern tuterpulation, aad tue Printing of the quotations trom the poetical beoks of the Old Testamentin verse, are d cieed improvements; while the diviston of the \ext Into paragraphs, 1usiead Of Verses, makes the sense more ciear. Tavse divisions ant plans of arrangement have always been arb:- (rary. the Vulvate. for example, betag com ‘mes divided into chapters, but not lato verses, ach chapter making a paragraph by ltseif. If is. however, when we come to the amendments themselves of the authorized version that the excellence of the work stands out. Kisz James’ version was a great !mprovement on the Bishops’ Bible, but this, which will prob- ably go by the name of the Canterbury R+vis- ton, being essentially the work of the Churen of England, 1s no less an improvement over the trans‘ation of 1611. ‘The Greek language was not as thoroughly understood at that time as it is Dow, and especially in the proper Tendering of the article represented in English by the words “a” and “the.” King James’ translators often made mis- takes, which are now corrected. For io- Stance, the famous passage, “Tne love of money ts the root of all evil,” now reads, “The love of money is a@ root of ‘all evil,” which Is, indeed, sadly true; while the Jess scholarly version gave occasion for scofMing to some and perplexity for others. Another class of emenda- Uous ts that of the substitution of modera Words and phrases for those which nave become cbsolete. For example, (Acta Xxi., 15) instead of ‘we look up our carriages,” the new version reads: We took up our baggage,” which makes it plain. “There is one word,” says Dr. Roberts, “not occurring at all in the authorized version, that has simply been tracsplanted from Greeé Into Epglish in the revised translation. This ig the term Hades, denoting the invisible world. Immense gain has area this Bec in several passages by the’ adoption of Word. Thus it is very markedly at Acts il., 2, Where these words are quoted from Ps. xvil, in Teference to Christ: “nou wilt not leave my foul in Hades; neither wilt thou give thy Holy one to see corruption.’” The word Hell 13 re- Served In the revised version as a translation of the Greek word Gehenna, to the great clear- ing up of the meaning of the various texts where the word Heli now cccurs ia the author- ized version. Where the term Easter occurs in the Book of Acts (xil, 4) 1Uhas been corrected to Pass- over, but Chis 1s one of the changes which may be regtetted by some. In the earlier English Versions the word Passover was generally rendered by its real English equivalent Easter, thus keeping alive a kuowledge of the untty of the bistorical religions whos? great festival occurred at the vernal equinox. It must be admited, however,that the Greek word Pasviua ought always to be rendered by one and the same expression In English. A more serious objection lies against the translationof the Greek word Agave by “Love,” instead of, ag in Ube authorized version, Charity. The word love has so many sbades of meaning that the coe td ene, had probabiy becter have €n retained, or else a paraphrase, such ag “Christian afféction,” substituted, Among minor emendattons the following are happy and bring out the sense more clearly: Offspring of vipers.

Perhaps the most awful passage—one which has proved a stumbling block to may teuder censctences—in the whole Bible is that tn II. ‘Thes., 1), 10, 11, which read3 in the authorized version: ‘For this cause God shali send thei sirobg delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned,” «3. In the ew translation it reacs: “For this cause God sendeth them a working of error that they should belleve @ se; that they all might be judged,” &c. The famous paseage, I Cor, xt, 49, LOw reads: “He that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.” it has been feared by some that the fine. anes ee and Lyons a the: oe with which all English speal le are famillar, would be lost in the newscae but Ubis is very seldom the case. Indeed, in some Places, an improvement will be noticed, as for example: ‘In their synagogues they will Scourge you; yea, and before governors and kings shall ye be brought.” Those who are unfamiliar with the facts have, in some cases, had @ more serious apprehension, namely, that the alterations would be of a revolutionary character. But such is not the case. No doc- {rine of faith,” as Dr. Roberts justly concludes, “is in the slightest degree affected.

They are almost exclusively recrulted among the declasses, especially the young men, whose un- satisfied ambition stimulates a fanaticism car- ried to an incredible pitch. Thus at some previous executions the culprits scandalized the peasants by their irreligion. The watch- word was given, and at the jast executions the culprits showed respect for the crogsin their last moments. This was obedience in the highest degree. t will be difficult to overccm2 Nihilism, be- cause it 1s organized in small groups connected only by one member with eact er, 80 that even those enrolled do not Know members of other branches.
