for God's lovingkindness. And what is to be the place
of our waiting? Surely God's temple—God's Church—
the Church of the Living God, where He has promised
His Divine Presence—His holy house a Prayer
where two or three are tethered together in fib
name and, where He has promised to be divinely
and spiritually present in thu midst of them.
Where else, indeed, should we wait? What other

BIaTCLI CAPSIZL—On Tuesday evening some of the
Weymouth A.C.C. were going to Dorchester on
bit:yokes. They dashed out of Weymouth is gallant
style, and after • walk up Ridgeway Hill, vaulted into
their saddles again, and • pursued their swift career."
One of them, whom we shall call the fair man was in
advance, and • tall young fellow behind. A 1 they
were descending the hill the weights increased the
speed, and the tall man gained on the other fast. Seeing
that his friend was well over to the right, the hinder.
most shouted to the other to keep the same aide. But
the road was had, the fair man edged over ti the left.
and the big bicycle came down on him with a terrible
smash. The machine was considerably doubled, ani
the rider sent flying along the road in sp:ead.eagle
fashion, so that for onoe the big man cut more than
be wanted to, for he bad • piece taken out of his haul,
I The lair man also came to Mother Earth, and when be
got up noticed that a lot of the road metal was coloured
red, and ornamented with. shreds of cloth from his
trousers- A little bending put the big bicycle right,
and the other was not much damaged • but when the
riders returned to have a wash at Ridgeway stream,
the fair man found that his handsome gull ring, with
a fine stone was gone. Back again they went to the
Hill, sad wen sharp enough to find the ring; but,
11166 a carriage had puled in the meantime, and the
ornamental stone was made to help the him:edam. The
two young fellows returned sadder to Vi eymouth, one
dissatisfied with his experience in flesh-cutting, smiths
other with his evening's dealings in stone. The moral
Is evidently "Mind the law of the road."
THE ROYAL TritOLISE SINCILBS gave concerts at the
Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms on Monday last. The
delightful notes of them sweet warblers hay° in no
wise diminished in purity and flexibility since we heard
them last, and their merry faces awakened • similir
cheerfulness in the minds of their audience. In fact
the exceedingly bright and j ipinspiring efface of these
singers' performances is remarkabl., while they do all
justice to the softer and tenderer parts. That deliei,us
tenor solo of Herr Medold "Come, sweet maid" was a
marvel of delicious teeing, and hard must nave been
the lady's begirt that could have failed to be attracted
by it, especially if she understood the words in Herr
lleickl's tongue. In the grand Jodi march "Th.
month of May is ooming,"iso fall were the singers of
the joy inspired by the spirit of the piece, that it
seemed as if the ideas must burst through the veil of
• strange language, and go to the hearts of all they
they did, for it was impossible to mistake what WU
meant. "The Watch on the Rhine" was sung in
soldier-like style, ant with most inspiriting effect:
The whole of the singing was • succession of marvels,
of the meet delicate tones, or the merriest fancies,
varied with a due proportion of more manly mule
Two features are peculiar—the " chorus, which
seemed to be • repetition of sounds something like the
French words "11 y a," with s light and grioeful
effect—and the strange high note, rising to a shriek,
introduced in the national song. It is out of our power
to notice the piece' in succession ; but of course the
famous "Who has upset the beer r. mast be inen•
tioned, as • specimen of ere !lent made allied to good
acting, and filled throughout with mirth. Would that
we had singers who amid properly render the Tyrolese
music, and give us the words in English. With the
words in • strange Dolga tire. the purely magical enjoy.
meat is of very high class.
FAZIWILL YiIIOKAWRY 81.311211,—A1though the Local
Amusement Committee did not offer any entertain-
ment to the Yeomanry on the return home, a number
of lively spirits among our visitors stirred up the town
considerably on Saturday. Purchasing some of the
largest and oddest plantation hate ever sold in the town
with such an immense area of straw plait as might
almost serve as • family umbrella, and armed with
certain magical instruments, performance on which
would have distracted Mr. Babbage ten times more
than a barrel organ, they set out as minstrels. Most
excruciating singing added to the oddity of the perfor-
mance, and when the "conductor," hat in hand, soli.
cited pewee from the fair ladies attracted to the
windows, shoats of laughter pealed all up Mary-street.
"One penny, It you please, Miss; we OZ6 collecting
for the poor of the town and all the money will be
left in Weymouth for their good l" Who could resist
such an appeal, backed up by the entreaties, not
always mate, of half-a-dosen merry young fellows in
Yeomanry uniform, whose plantation hats gaped ore
reties& for stray bronze I So "a share of the public,
patronage" was obtained, and immediately expended in
sweetmeats, shrimps, he., "scrambled" among the
crowd. Though eloquently coming from certain towns
in the Blaakmoor Vale, our inland friends understood
how to "throw • sprat to catch • mackerel," and
great fun was caused by the boys contesting for the
slippery prises. By and bye contributions in kind were
offered, and immediately hurled into the air, and It
was queer to see the faces of the childrtn who, after an
arduous straggle, succeeded in getting each one of •
pair of stockings of man's else, or some other equally
useful article of alothhig. As the merry fellows neared
the top of fit. Mary-street, the girls in the crowd were
excited almost to desperation by a number of dolls
ooming down in • small shower, and we fear some of
them (the dolls not the girls) suffered being torn limb
from limb. By and by • convenient bestiary was
reached, and soon half-penoe tempted the stnicling
youngsters; but, its often turns out after many other
other contests in this world, the snocessfal once only
burnt their fingers, for the hell-pence were hot. This
was too bad, and public opinion pronounced that their
late entertainers had done 660 much for the money,
awl had better go home.
