not perhaps do better than follow tup with suggestion
or two upon the subjectoc choir singing Suppose we
form .ite society of for the promotion OF
sacred music in our several churches. Suppose we
arrange to meet at place or another every sat
urday afternoon. Perhaps would be beller Tor each
church have its society for this purpose There

make an excellent choir If all who are gifted in iha1
respect would join in with determination to become

of HORACE GREELEY and the BEEcHERs, eschewed
fashionable society altogether, and was evidently not
very acceptable TO the population Of Gotham. To
Judge by her chosen comfanionshp in that city, the
inference is very natural that my Lady is of the Saf
