REASONS FOR LEAREING TO SISs.-Ihe
celebrated William Byrd, the author Of
mon nobis Domino, gave the following
very Ioreible reasons for learning to sing, IN
scarce. work, published in 1898, entitled
"Psalms, sonnets, ano song OF sadness and
pietie:'
''First-lt is a knowledge easily taught
and quickly learned, where there is COED
master and apt scholar.
"Secondly-The exercise Of singing S
delightful to nature, and good to preserve
the health Of man.
"Thirdly-It doth strengthen all parts
OF the heart, and dotl open the pipes.
"Fourrhly-lt is a singular good renedls
for a suffering and stammerins IN the
speech.
"Fifthly-Itis the best means to preserve
perfect pronunciation. and TO make
good orator.
''Sixthly-It is the only way to know
when nature hath bestowed a good voice.
which gift is so rare that there IS not one
among a thousand that hath il and Ia many
that excellent gift is l,ss because they want
an art to express natrre.
''Seventhly-Thers is not any MUSIC o.
instruments whatever, comparable to 'na'
which is made Of mems voices, when the
voices are good, and TIE same well sof'eo
and ordered.
"Eighthly-Ths better the voice IS, Tie

with; and the voice OF man IS chiefly to Dc

From BurntPs Christian Citizen,

The stately pine of Norway,
Tree of the mountain land,
Firm rooted on the wind-swept height,
How proudly does II stand!
The SHOWS and rushing tempests come,
And the foaming torrents shine,
And the dim mists gather round the home
OF Norway's stately pine
The tree that braves thousand storms,
Old Norway's stately pine!
We envy not the roses
OF the climes where summer reigns.
Nor the chestnut woods that greenly wave
On the distant southern plains.
We envy not the orange bowers,
Nor the purple clustering vine;
For the tree of the changeless leaf is ours,
Old Norway's stately pine;
The tree that braves a thousand storms,
Old Norway's stately pine.
How many strange wild legend
Round the peasants hearth 10 told,
When all is bright and warm within,
As the winds without are cold
And in the woodfire's cheerful rays
Young eyes Of gladnsss shine;
What is II feeds that evening blazer
It's Norway's stately pine:
The tree that braves thousand storms.
Old Norway's stately pine.
Upon the wave-rocked ocean
That girts our native shore,
Boldly, In his adventurous toll,
The fisher plies his oar.
Wanderer, what is It forms the bark,
That bounding bark of thine7
IT'S the ancient tree Of the forest dark,
Old Norway's stately pine;
The tree that braves a thousand storms,
Old Norway's stately pine.
The winds make solemn music,
Like the restless seas wild moan,
As they linger mid Its leaves awhile,
With a soft and trembling tone.
With spirit power that whispering sound
Thrills through the hearts deep shrine,
For we love old Norway 'smountain ground,
And we love her stately pine!
The tree that braves thousand storms,
Old Norway's stately pine. A. L. W.

Another hand IL reckoning on,
Another call Is given;
And glows once more with angel steps
The path which reaches Heaven.
One young aud gentle friend whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts Of autumn time
Has left us with the flowers.
No paling Of the cheek of bloom
Forewarned us Of decay,
No shadow from the silent hand,
Fell round our sisters way.
The light Of her young life went down
As sinks behind the hill
The glory Of a setting star
Clear. suddenly, and still.
AS pure and sweet her fair brow seemed
Eternal as the sky;
And like the brooks low song her voice
A sound which could not die.
And half we deemed she Needed no;
The changing Of her sphere,
To give to Heaven shining one
Who walked an angel here.
The blessing Of her quiet life
Fell on Ne like the dew;
AND good thoughts where her footsteps
pressed .
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds
Were in her very look:
We read her face a. one who reads
A true and holy book:
The pleasure Of a blessed hymn
10 which our hearts could move,
The breathing Of an inward psalm,
A canticle Of love-
We miss her in the place of prayer
And BY the hearth fires light;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet "Good night"
There seems shadow in the day
Her smile no longer cheers,
A dinness on the stars Of night
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will
Our though; hath reconciled;
That He whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, oh Father! in thine arms
And let her henceforth be
A messenger Of love between
Our human hearts, and thee.
Still let her mild rebuking stand
Between us and the wrong,
And her dear memory serve to make
Our faith in goodness strong.
And graat that she who trembling here
Distrasted all her powers,
May welcome to her holier home
The well beloved of ours.
