THE MYSTERIOUS ORGANIST. A LEGEND OP THE RHINE. "Kind hearts are more than coronet*, And simple faith than Norman bipod." Years ago, at a grand old cathedra,) overlooking the fthiue, there appeared a mysterious organist. The great composer who had played the ofgan so long bad suddenly, died, and every person from peasant to the king was wondering who could be found to fill his place, Oue bright Sabbath morn, as the sexton en* tered the church, he saw a stranger sit ting at the crape»shrouded organ, lie vas a tall graceful man, with a pale but strikingly-handsome fase, great black, melancholy eyes, »ud hair like a raven, (or gloss oolor, sweeping in dark waves over his shoulders. .He did not seem to notice the sexton, but went to playing i and such music as be drew from the in* slrument no words can describe. The astonished listener declared that the organ seemed to have grown human— that it wailed and sighed and clamored, 'When the music at leogtb ceased, the sexton hastened to the stranger and said s «Fray, who are you sir?* 'Do not ask ray name/ be seplied. 1 have heard that you are in want of an organist, and hav§ come here on trial.' Wou'll be sure to get the place,' ex« olaimed the sexton, «Why, yon sufpass him that'a dead and goue.' •No' no —yon over-rate me,' resntrud the stranger, with a sad amity and then, as if disinclined to conversation, be tnrned from old H«ns and began to play again. And now he chauged from a sorrowful strain toa grand old peau,and tho mysterious organist,— •Looking upward full of gi ace, Prayed, Oil from a happy plaoo God's glory smote him on tbe face,' and bis conntenacp seemed not nnlike that of St. Michael as portrayed by Unido, Lost in the harmonies that swelled around him, he sat with far seeing gaze fixed on tbe distant sky, a glimpse of wbioh he caught through the opened wiodowwwheo there was * stir abont the chnroband a royal parly came sweep iitg in. Among them might be seen a yonng girl, with bine eyes, like the fiolet hne, Hps like cherries. Tbii was the prinoesa Elizabeth, and all eyes turned to her aa she seated berseli in the velret-cashioDed pew appropriated to Ujo court, No GRAHAM, N. C., MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1882. sooner had the music reached her ears than e'le started as it a ghost bad crossed her path. At last her eyes met those of the organist, in a ieug yearning look, and the melody lost its joyous uotes and onoe more wailed and clamored. 'By my faith/ whispered the king to his daughter, tbis organist has a master band.' Hark ye Ibe shall play at ytur wedding,' The pale lips of the princess parted bat the could not speak she was dumb with grief, Like one in a painful dream she saw the pale man sitting at the organ, and heard tbe melody Which filled the vast edifice. Aye, fall well she knew who he was, and why the iu°trumeut seemed breathing'oat tbe agoay ot & tortured soul. When the service was over, and tbe rojai party bad left the cathedral, be Stole away as mysteriously as he had come. He was not aeeo by the sexton until the vesper hour, and then -he ap«. peared iu the organ loft and commenced his task. While be played, a veiled figure glided in aod knelt uear tbe shrine. There she knelt until the worshippers dispersed, When "the sexton touched her on the shoulder aud said: ♦Madam, every, one h«s gone except you and me, and I wish to ajoae the doOr.' Tbe sextou drew baok to ashsdy uiche and listened, The mysterious organist still' kept bis place, but bis bead was bowed upon thj instrument, anil he could not see tbe lone devotee. At length she arose from the aisle , aud moving to the organ-loft paused before tbe tpusU cian: ♦Bertram!' she murmqred. Quick, as thought the organist raided his head. There with the light of a lamp suspended, to the arch above tailing up on her, stood the princess who had graaed tbe royal pew that day. The coort drcss ot velvet with its soft ermine iritu rnings, the tiara, the lace and the brace lets had been exchanged lor a grey, serge robe, and a lons thick veil, which was now pushed from the girlish lace. 'Oh. Elisabeth, Elizabeth!' ejaculated the organist, as he sank at her feet, and gazed wistfully into her trochlea eyes. 'Why are you here, Bertram?' 'You are to be married to»morrow,? be replied. 'Yes,'sobbed the girl. 'Oh Bertram, what a trial it will be lo stand at youder alter and t«ke upon me the vow wbicb will doom me to a living death!' • * 'Think of me!' rejoined the organist. 'Your royal lather his requested me to play at the woddiug and I have promised to be here. If I were your equal I could be the bridegroom instead ol the organ ist' but a poor jnatfeiau must give yoq up.' •Jt is like rending body and soul asunder to part wilb you,' said the girl. •Tonight I tell yon this—tell you how fondly I love •you—but in a few hours it will be a siu. ,Uo, go, and God bless youl' * bbe waved him from her, as if she would banish him*while abe had the power (o do so. And h«> bow was It with hiin? He roste to leave ber, then came back. Held ber on bis heart in oue long embrace, and with a hall-smothered farewell, left ber. The next morning dawned in cloudless spleuder, and at au early hour the Sathed* ral was thrown open, and the sexton began to prepare lor the brilliant wed* ding. Flame colored-flowers waved by the wayside; flame-colored leaves came rushing down from the trees and lay in light heaps upon the ground; and the ripe wheat waved like a golden sea, and the berrie* dropped in red and yellow clusters over the rocks along tbe Rhine. At length tbe palace gates were opened and the royal party appeared, escorting tbe Princess Elizabeth to tbe cathedral, where her marriage was to be solemnised. It was a brave pageant; far brighter than tbe entwined foliage, and blossoms were tbe lifts of plomes which floated from the stately beads, and tbe testa' robes ibat streamed down over tbe housings ot the superb rteeds, But the princess, mounted ou a snow-white palfrey, and clad* in snow-white velvet, looked pale and sad/ and, when ou Bear ing tbe cbn: ch, ebe beard a gost of orgaa music, wbicb, though jubilant in sound, struck on ber ear like a funeral-knell, she trembled and would have fallen bad not a page supported ber. A lew I moments afterwards she entered tbe oatbedral. There with his retinae, stood tbe bridegroom, whom she bad never before seen, Sot ber glance roved from him to tbe organ loft, where she expect ed to see tbe mysterious organist. - He was gone; and she was obliged to re tarn the graceful bow of the king to wbom sbs bad been betrothed from "motived of policy. Mechanically she [knelt at the *U«>stone, mcchauicslly Jig* teued to the service, and made *tie re sponse#. Then her husband drew Iter to him iq a convulsive embrace and whisper ed] ♦Elizabeth! my queen t my wile I look up!' Trembling iu every limb site obeyed. Why did those dark eyes thrill her so? Why did the smile bring a glow on her cbeek? Ah I though the,king wore the parpie and many a Jeweled order glitter ed on his breast, he seemed tbe ssmfe bumble person who had been em{flb'yed to teaoft music, and bad taught her the lore ot love. ♦Elizabeth!*' murmured the monarch, 'Bertram Hoffman, the mysterious'or gaulst, and King Oscar are onej For give my stratagem. I wished to marry you, but I would not drag to the altar *u unwilling bride. Yoqr father was Iu tbe secret. , While tears of Joy rushed from her blue eyes, the new-made queen returned , her .husband's foud kiss, and lor once two hearts were mad*, happy by a royal marriage, A —— -«■•»■" 1 Fearless Engineer A* ACT or COOL, DELIBERATE, BBLV-SACRI - ■ The highest order ot human courage is that which impels a man, in h{s cool and reflective moments, to confront approach ing danger of death, that it may be averted from others. An act of such 0001, deliberate, self-sacrificing horoism, in which Mr. R. P. Irving, a young en gineer on the Ohio 4 Chesapeake Rail road, was the aotor, deserves the record. On Wednesday of last week eleven trains were blocked at Waynesboro awaiting lhe arrival and passage ot extras which were behind tiuie. These haying finally come np * and passed on their way westward, the oast* ward-bound freights were at liberty to resume their wav. The first of the eleven started np the heivv grade toward (he tunnel, but, owing to the sleety condition ot tbe track, could make no headway, Mr. Irving, the engineer of the train next behind, uncoupled bis engine and came to the assistance of tbe other. Their united torcesgot Hie heavily-laden train under way, aud Mr.lrving, after helping it over tbe heaviest grade, uncoupled b|s engino and backed down tbe grade 10 bis own traiu. fie was scarcely in position again when tbe familiar rattling sound or an approaching train struck his ears, He looked np and for a moment stood horror-strickened, as he saw a section of the train be had helped up the srade coming back slowly now, but gathering speed as it moved. . He realised the situ ation in an instant. Thirteen heavily laden cars bad by some accidefit become uncoupled from the rest ot th« train, and were now returning down a seventy-five foot grade threatening a collision with the itanding trains, that mutt entail an immense destruction of property, besides tbe mangling of human victims. The young engineer did not hesitate a moment. He saw tbat there was but one thing to do, and he did It, though ha knew that his own life must in likelihood be the sacrifice. The approaching seotiou had already gathered considerable head way, when be put bis engine in motion to meet it and break the force of the collision. Whaterer migtt be liis own fate the lives and property behind bim would be saved. It was a terrible spec tacle -the heavy cars with their thous ands ol tons burden thundering down tbe grade and threatening to immolate whatever opposed their path—the single enginh, under a full head ot steam, fairly leaping np the grade as if anxious for the dreadfpl encounter. The young en« gineer was seen by several as he passed flying into tho jaws of death. He stood with his bands upon tb-- lever, pale but resolute, slightly stooped as he watched the descending mass tbat at tbe next moment was to overwhelm him and his engine aud consign bim to a frightful death* The shook came. Tbe intropid engineer bad somewhat lightened ii by reversing his lever at the last moment. The crush was awful. .The foremost car fairly mounted the* opposing engine, dashing juelf'to pieces. A soene ol wreck and ruin ensued. "We hare no particulars of the extent of tbe damage or the loss to the company. Noi are we much con cerned abont tbat. Wbat does concern us is the fact that the brave engineer lay lin tbe midst of the wreck, braised and stunned, but beyond that unhurt, Behind him stood the long train ot ears wfcicb be bad saved from wreck, and around his prostrate form stood those wbose lives be had saved by an act which has tew parallels for boldness, prompt is tude and deliberate sell sacriflce.-~JttcA morut (F&.)
