A Singular Dilemma.
The Concord tieqixter thus ; tells
of tine demoralization .of a negro
couple at that pjace: "One of, our
colored citizens lost his good wile,
altout six months ago. Owing to
the badweatherorother good cause
the funeral sermon could not lie
preaeiicd at the time. The services
was afterward deferred' from time

to time, until the; brother concluded
not to have, it jerforined, but re
lieve his feelings by taking another
wife. 1 Last. Sunday week was set
as "the- wedding day, but the
preacher, who had not lteen con
suited, said the ceremony could 'not
lie iierforined until after the funeral
of wife No. I had lieen preached.
The lovers were demoralized -at the
situation, but the ' preacher was
firm, so they compromised by hav
ing the funeral that Sunday and
the weilding the next. The matter
was thus settled, and last Sunday
the dusky lovers were made happy.

the moral of this story is that mag-'

w oman of tine gifts and culture, aud
she herself was the youugeat child.
She was noted in early life for the
taste she tnauifeated in literature,
ami iu inaturer years lor the great
zeal aud earnestness in her religious
life. She contributed prose and
verse to the ieriodicals of the day,
ami her art criticisms were valued.
Married at an early age, and of
frail, constitution, she still, amid'
many bodily sutJerings, kept her
pen busy, her thoughts and writings
always tending upwards. At what
time and amid what circumstances'
she caught the inspiration from
w li ich was e vol veil that wonderful
hymn which has ever since echoed
round atid round the globe, is not
known; but it was probably during
some ieriod of ja'culjar trial, W hen
her spirit was uplifted through aor
row almost'tibove iu earthly Udy; "
She little dreamed that her hyinu,
like those of Toplady, Charlotte
Elliott ami Bay Palmer, would lie
heard through the ages. ' j
It was first published 3n 1841, in a
volume of sacred lyrics issued by a
Mn" Fox, of England, just eight
years before the death of the gifted;
authoress, who only lived to the age
of 44, and thus never knew the fame i
which w;a to attach to her hymn
and her name. . .
The hymn soon begau to appear
in various collections,- and- wa
everywhere received with delight
It was given the tune of "Bethany,!
which became very jsipular in .this
coiiiitiy. K very lHxly who linn grown i
up in a Christian land knows it by
heart, and in luany countries which
do not float the banner of Christ is
almost equally familiar.

says: Ijist year Irofa. Smith,
Hitchcock and Park, as they wound
