Bright had come in I handed the verses to Mr. Webster, a little tremulous with emotion. As he read it his eye kindled. Stepping to the desk,. he began to jot down the notes. He picked up his violin and tried them. In ten minutes we four gentlemen were singing that song. Mr. R R. Crosby came in, and with tears in his eyâ€"s said : ‘G+ntlemen, that bymn is immortal‘ We were all exâ€" ci‘ed, elated _ Within two weeks the children of the town were singing it on the streets. ©, ‘In 1868 ‘The Signet Ring‘ was pub lished, Lvoou & Hraly distributing cirâ€" culars to advertise it, and on the sheet was ‘The Sweet Byâ€"andâ€"Bye., On the strength of that one song nearly a quarter of a million of the books were sold. The song was afterwards brought out in sheet music, and it has been translated into a number of foreign We shall sing on that Beautiful Shore, The melodiots songs of the blest, And our spirits hall sorrow no moreâ€" Not a sigh for the blessin : of rest.

Turoing to the desk, I wrote as rapidly as I could. In less than a half bour I think, the song as jit stands to day was written. Here it is : ‘Mr. Webster like many . musicians, was of an exceedingly nervous and senâ€" sitive nature, and subject to fits of deâ€" pression. I knew his peculiarities well and when I found him given up to blue devils I just gave him a cheerful song to work on. Oue morning he came inâ€" to the store?and walked to the stove without speaking. * ‘What‘s up now, Webster ? I asked. ‘It‘s no matter. It will be all right by and by.‘ * ‘The idesa of the hymn came to me like a flask of aunstxinq. ‘The Sweet Byâ€"and Bye.‘ Everything â€"will be all right then,. ‘Why wouldn‘t that make a good hymn . a For tickling sensation in throat ies bole en ore oomrion in your thrces ‘Currency has been given to the shameful story that Mr. Webster was drunk whemhe wrote the music, and another has it that we were both drunk. I am thankful I am alive to do justice to one of the noblest men that ever livedâ€"a fine, seositive ‘soul, with the true artistic feeling. Again it has been said that we were both infidels, and{the ribald jest ofâ€"a carouse. As to my reâ€" ligion, that is my own affair; but the hope and longing of every immortal soul as expressed in that song was the faith of both of us. To both creation would have seemed a farce unless inâ€" finite love and immortality had not overshadowed us and promised a life of bliss beyond the grave. called :)Sg};e Signoet Ring,‘ which was afterwards published by Lyon & Healy. grory oF THE 8s0NG. \T\b?;x:y’riod of his life is the most precious of all his experiences to Dr. Bennett. Not long ago he told the whole story to an interested group of listeners, his eyes filling with tears as be vindicated his frfendfffrom calumn-‘ ies. _ _Just at this time Samuel Fillmore Bennett graduated from Ann Arbor, Mich., and began a newspaper career at Elkborn, Wis , on the Independent. J. P. Webster, the musical composer, was living in the same town, and it was only a few months before the editâ€" or and the musician were collaborating. The war intervened and Lieut. Bennett of the fortieth Wisconsin Volunteers retz::[gd to%Elkhorn to open a drug stora and resume his verse writing. He and Mr. Webster began in 1867 to work on a Sunday school song book martial, religious, domestic. George F. Root and Stephen J. Foster were both writing songs that lived, and Sundsy school hymns passed out of the {drivelâ€" ling period into ona of elevated simâ€" plicity. _ During the period of the civil war a wave of moral elevation and intellectâ€" ual activity passed over the country.

You‘d think I had throwâ€" ing away five dollar bills to him Mr.Preston thought of Fred‘s motber, and suggested that possibly the offence might never be repeated; but Mr. Andâ€" rews only| shook his head. The minister watched the merchant as he walked away, and said to himâ€" self : | ‘Yes, I know it is a common dishonâ€" esty among common boys ; but I hoped little Brown ~was different. é. hoped and expected I could trust hitt. But it‘s no use ; I cannot keep a boy who will go wrong the minute he is out of sight.‘ °. 'Yo:je it is just this way: I haven‘ttime to give him moral trainâ€" ing, nor can I watch him all the time. If I cannot trust him in little things there‘s nothing to build upon: ; and I‘ve no use for such a boy. I am sorry.‘ ‘I have often wondered if those who employ boys. kngw how their work was done,‘ remarked Mr. Preston, :‘It is a vyery common thing to find a half dozen pawphlets on the piazza or in the hall.‘ ‘There are six here,‘ said Mr. Anâ€" drews, counting them. ‘In this other roll there aro ten.

Paskages which had been accumulatâ€" ing v%re soon carried to their destinaâ€" tions, and by two o‘clock Fred hed finished his work and received permisâ€" sion to visit the ball ground. _ ‘I suppose you have ‘seen the anâ€" nouncement of my special sale? said he questioningly. _ ‘It‘s going to be & fine game, they say. I wouldn‘t miss it for a dollar, Be sure you get there.‘ _ _ ‘All right,‘returned Fred,already sevâ€" eral yards away. + At noon he returned to the, store, reporting his territory covered, and the ‘flyers‘ all distributed. . ‘Are you going out to the ball game this afternoon ? inquired a comrade. ‘Yes, if I can get off,‘ replied Fred. ‘I‘ve got some work on hand, but if I can finish before two o‘clock, I guess Mr. Andrews will give me two or three hours.‘ ‘Yes, he is,‘ replied the merchant, thoughtfully. ‘If he proves trustworthy, there is no question as to his success.‘ Fred passed briskly along the street until a loud ‘Hallo !‘ checked him. ‘Little Brown is just cut out for a business man,‘said the head clerk,noticâ€" ing how Mr. Andrew‘s gaze followed the boy.
