THE SINGERS OF SACRED SoNGs.-Ycsterday we
noticed the absence of the choir in one or two Of
the churches and the duty of singing praise nee
essarily fell back on the congregational whom
it properly belongs. Church choirs were first in
stituted. We suppose, for the purpose of selecting
appropriate tunes and leading the congregation
in song, but the choir has gradually taken the
singing department altogether in its own hands
until nobody else sings at all. If any devout
worshipper in the congregation should so far for
get himself as to ATTEMPT to praise God with
loud voice, as people were accustomed to do in
other times, the eyes of the whole assemblage are
turned on him, curiousy and startliugy, and the
rude, Questionable and over jealous worshipper
is tactcally instructed that he has been trying to
sing one of the Songs Of Zion in strange land
He must leave that part of the devotion to the
choir, and let somebody sing who can sing not
intrudng his discordant tones on the scientific
execution Of church psamody In many of the
churches Of Europe the choir has been dispensed
with and the congregations have returned to the
good old fashion of uniting their voices in one
glad song that rings round the arches and down
the aisles as though the people themselves were
prasing, and not by proxy. So it should be
everywhere. Go into the country churches where
christians do their singing or to the campmeet-
ing, where thousand stentorian voices, inter
minglng with the softer and sweeter cadences of
women, sending up among the trees the voice
OF gratitude to Him who built over their forest
sanctuary the leafy canopy and set the stars as
sentinels over their camp, and then tell us, sin
ner that you are, if you do not feel that you are
standing on holy ground? But let the people
keep silence, and then let choir of singers rise
in front of the congregation and erecute the most
elegant of church melodies and the charm would
be broken; it would sound as feeble as the
squeaking on single string of violin, after q
great sounding organ had been broken and be-
come voiceless. When the sea and the grave shall
have given up their dead, and when the grea
congregation of the redeemed stands inside the
portals of eternity, each with his golden harI
ready to join in Il great hymn of victory and tri
umph over death and the grave, will those mighty
millions sing together, or will they turn to few
whose harps are higher strung than the rest, and
say, sing us song of victory; cur harps are
out Of tune ?'-Sacrdmento Age.

FREAK OF NATURE.--It is not often that an op-
portunity is afforded TO witness such freak of
nature as occurred in our town on Tuesday last.
1t was the birth of native child with four legs,
and four perfectly formed feet There we're two
limbs besides, neither legs or arms, but stumps
The natural legs and feet were located as in any
perfectly formed child the other legs are placed
in front of these and smaller, as are also the
feet. Perhaps the best idea we can give oil il. to
chose who have not seen it, is that it resembles
perfectly formed child, excepting the addition of
two extra but smaller legs just in front of the nat
ural ones, and close above these third and fourth
logs, are the stumps of arms alluded to. The
child has natural arms and hands in their proper
position. Physicians think it may live, as il ap-
uears to be healthy condition. The mother. a
native, is quite proud Of her curiosity. Honoi,a-

Eyebrows under the Nose.

Lines suggested by hearing the above name
given to moustaches.
Oh father mother, do look here,
AT that man with fancy clothes;
Did you ever before see a gentleman
With eyebrows under his nose.
He has piercing eyes and jet black hair,
And checks as red us rose;
could fancy him, do declare,
But his eyebrows under his nose!
little thought in my childshness
That he wore them because he chose,
But since, I've learned It's nothing rare
To see eyebrows un' I the nose.
Goodlooking gents don't need wear them,
That's just the way that goes;
For it doesn't add to his beauty bit,
Wearing eyebrows under the nose.
And green ones needn't think it
Will make them pass for beaux;
For sensible ladies meier fall in love
With eyebrows under the nose.
To homely gents I'd like to say,
Don't cultivate mousdchoes
Ladies admire brains, instead
OF eyebrows under the nose.

HEAVENLY PHENoM ENoN There was
witnessed in Sonora, on Wednesday evening
last. says the Herald, phenomenon which
no one that we met with could explain, and
is a matter which no one acquainted with
atmospherical phenomena alone can account
for. 1t was the appearance of narrow belt
of light vapory cloud, stretching from the
eastern horizon midway into the sky, in a
south westerly direction. 1t appeared to be
stationary. and remained visible for one or
two hours after sunset What made this sim
gular appearance the more remarkable, was
the fact that the light was clear and pleas
ant, the stars shining brightly, unobscured
by cloud.
