AN amusing incident occurred in
one of our down east churches some

From every cumbering care,
And apend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
The regular chorister being absent.
the duty devoIved upon the good old
Deacon NJ, who cnnmenced:.

And then haggcd down, and raising
his voice to . still higher pitch, he sung:
II loye to steal" Il
And, rs before, he concluded he had
got the wrong pitch, and dcploring that
he had not his "pitch tuner" he deter.

BY this time MI the old Indies were

faces Of the "young 'uns" were all in

perate cough, he made final demon.
