Think of it! No wonder Deacon Pipples eaid that the tising gener- ation was a wayward generation, seeking after ungodly inventions. Now, you know my views. T don't care what instrament we use in church provided We praise Gud musically and soberly as we ought. If a horp or a violin will help us I gofor it. Deacon Sfuaggles eaid I ought to be ashamed. ! I laughed and told him that, if I read the Scriptures right, 'David dancod before the Lord and advised the Temple choir 10 vse cymbals, even the loud sounding cymbals. He sheok his head, and said that there were. grave doubts about that passage.-- Perhaps that word translated dance meant something else. > : ¢ Hop," I suggested. The deacon went away sorrowfal and said I was a backslider. I:% not long story. Let me tell it to youn. We. had wat under a lady organist for yeara--sal urder, in a figurative sense. We bad groaned inwardly under her weekly inflictions for a long time. She was short (well, how can I tell it?) her feet did not touch the pedals. The eflect Was peculiar, The organ *eemed ready to topple over every Sunday. Some folks said that tlie organ hud no base notes, Bless you! What did. they %now about it? They could wot tell one tane from another. She, ihe organist, had a weakness for the reeds. The reed-stops, as you know, have their little weakness, like the rest of us. -- Their particular weakness is to get out of tune. ¢ Never mind,' said she, + They are aweelly preity after a long prayer. Make you think of angels in long cl thes, singing through a cloud.' Her voluntaries were remarkable. She harrassed the paren, and kept everybody onthe alert, for who could tell when she was going to stop? Egery other minule we said, ¢ This in the end--the closing chord has come." But no; it hed not.-- More closing chords followed, till we were near distracted with hope deferred. , At last some benevolent young man had the goodness to marry her and take her away, Bless him! How heatlily we con« gratulated him-- and ourselves. We could not blame Heaven for giving her short limbe; but then she might at least, have played something beside her own compositions, and could have safely neglected her own beloved trumpets and oboes. The next Sunday the man came. He was a stout fellow, and his coat had very long sleeves, and his lrowers were extra large. They were none 100 big to be be- coming, He could reach anything in the shape of keys, stops, or pedal, manage the swell, draw the top right-nand stop, and play on the lower bank at the eame instant. Clever man, they said. Clever 1n both the English and American: senses. The first Sunday that he presided the folks said that the commitiee had repaired the organ. It had not sounded so well fo, a long time. Its deep and majestic tones shook the air, pervaded the church with solemn harmonies, and made Deacon Squaggles ory. He is not a precocious child, and did not ask to see the monkey. The music that day was a revelation to most of the people, and there was a isfied buzz among the folks on the steps when the church was out. Things im- proved from week to week. One or two who had backelid of late, returned, and really came to church half a day--came to hear the music. Deacon Squaggies re- proved their motives, and accepted their pew rent com plaisantly. . About the fifih Sunday after the new ad- finistration, Parson Mildmay announced | that the last hymn would be sung by ihe congregation. With fear and trembling they listened to hear what tune would be given out. Alter thé first bar their fears 'were allayed. Thers was no mistaking the melody of ¢ Duke Street," played dis-. tinetly and accurbtely on a single loud stop. At the end the people struggled to their feet, and the singing began. The result 'was peculiar and not lovely. . Did Inot feel sure that you know all about it, I would give you a detailed description of it. Con- gregational noise!

Our organ is behind the pulpit, just where it ought to be. . Everybody wokd up, and you might have heard a pin drop. The young man bowed and spoke as fol- lows: ¢ My friends we meet here every week for prayer and praise. We come to lift our hearts to_heaven in thankfulness aad joy. For music, we have the organ, the most noble instrument in the world, in all jour churches, an trained choirs sing the praise of the Lord with the best skill and art th& world has discovered. ¢ The church has always aimed to com- mand the best music, believing that the best ia none too good for God's service.-- of going to extremes. The inspired com- mand ¢ Let all the people praise the Lord,' in sadly neglected of late. ¢ We have, in our search for high art, delegated our praisegiving to paid singers, and we praise God by proxy. My friends, theseJihings ought not so to be. We should all sing, Let the choir lead, all join them in the solemn psalmn or cheerful song of thanksgiving. | am aware that congregational singing is viewed with diegnet by many. It is sométimes very bad, and offende more than elovates. This need not be so if one or two rules are ob. served, Let me give them to you. "Firstly. Let all sing, young and old. No matter how badly it sounds to you, sing sing with confidence. Secondly. Do not" attempt to sing parts. Let all sing the melody. Let those who think they ean sing tenor, allo, or bane, give up their parts, and join the supranos in singing the air of melody. Of course, the gentleman will sing in one oc- tave lower than the ladies. The organ will give the harmony, the voices the song. By the aid of these rules our singing will be easy and'effective. Now, to help you, [ will have the mel- ody played rn the cornet. This instrament is loud, penetrating and easily followed. -- The instrument and organ will play the tune over, and then, after an instants pavsa, all join in singing." Ifa thunderbolt had split the gilded cockerel of the steeple, and rung the fire- alarm bell, we could not have been more ,electrified, The people with one consent sat down in a puddle of discontent and hortor. Deacon Squaggles leaned his head on his hand and groaned aloud. Parson Mildmay looked dubious, and we were variously much shocked. The organ and the cornet began. It sonnded well, and some of us were inwardly set up with much joy. Then the congregation rose as one man, resolved to extinguish the desecrat- ing instrument --resolved to sing the thing down. We sang Old Hundred throngh twice.-- Such a tremendous volume of tone had never been heard in the church before.-- The grand old tane faitly shook the house. When it was finished we sat down. 1 leaked round and found the deacon's wife wiping her eyes fervently. Some irrever- ent person rapped on the floor with a cane "Bust a timid little rap, but applause cer- tainly. Deacon Pipple's little boy said audibly, « Hurrah ; wasn't that bu--?* the last word was. extinguished by a fatherly hand. The parson read two verses of another hymn. His voice trembled and he seemed peculiarly happy. That splendid old tune of Christmas, by Father Handel, was played ; Handel believed in horns and trampets: When the glowing melody rang bravely thrcugh the church everybody rose and seized their hymn books with ardent determination to do their best. . 1 Everybody sang. Who could help it? The ringing tones of the trumpet bore ev- erything along with it. At the interlude between the* verses there was a profound hush. The people felt that at last they were praising God with heart and soul.-- The second verse was even more success ful than the first. Everybody felt warmed up tothe work. The congregation made a discovery. It could sing. When it was over Pareon Mildmay lean- ed over the desk and said: ¢ Brother Squaggles, let us sing all the verses." singing and the coruel player were a fixed 'part of the service.

He read the note and prayed accord- ingly. Judge of his emotions when he learned after services that the note was a year old, and on this ver Sabbath, brother A. was present, for the first time, with his new wife. Sheridan one day, when coming back from shooting, with an empty bag, did not like to go home with nothing, and seeing a number of ducks by a'pond, and a man or farmer leaning on a rail watching them. said: ¢ What will you take for a shot at the ducks?" ¢ Well,' he said, ¢ I will take half a sovereign." ¢ Done," said Sheridan, and he fired into the midst of the flock, killing » dozen. ¢I am afraid you bave made a bad bargain," aaid Sheridan. ¢ Well, I don' know,' said the man, ¢ they warn't mine. ---------- Paul's epistle to: the Canadians lately furnished a text for an Indiana colored preacher. A New York editor thinks from the man- ner in which shirts are made in that oity there ought to be an inspector of sewing. He says he went to the expense of a new shirt the other day, and found himself, when he awoke in the morning, crawling out from between two of the shortest stitches. The Detroit Post is responsible for the following: --A young man asked a young|. lady of her age, and she replied: ¢ 9 times 7 and 7 times 8 added to my age will ex- ceed 6 times 9 and 4, as double my age exceeds 20." The young man said he thought she looked much older. Now what is her age ? that's the question. ll A Nobility is to be coneidered only as an imaginary distinction, unless accompanied with the practice of those generous virtues by which it ought to be obtained. Titles of honor, conferred upon such as have no per- sonal merit to deserve them, are, at best, but the royal stamp eet upon base metal. ------~ A ~--eee No blessing of life is any 'way compar- able to: the: enjoyment of a discreet and and virtnons friend. 1t eases and unloads the mind,, clears and improves the under- standing, engenders thoughts and know- ledge, animatos virtue and good resolations, e2othes and allays the passions, and finds effiploy ment for most of the vacant hours life.-- Addison.

There were forty thousand people present.-- Every nation was represented. The management was perfect, the music fine. The evening was beautiful and delight. ul, Foreigners are all impressed with the hospitality and good feeling of the American people." The German leader says he came here expecting to meet Americans, and finds only friends.-- Strauss says: "Mein Goit, we never have to see hearts so big' as have the Americans."
