in the congregation of saints." Praise formed
q very prominet part in the religious worship Of
the Old Testament saints Nor were the early
Christians less observant Of this delightful Chris
tan exercise. The apostle exhorts them to
praise God in pslams and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody Ia their hearts
unto the Lord. And on the memorable night in
which the Redeemer was betrayed the last act
OF Worship in which he engaged with his dis
ciples after supper, just before going to the gar
den OF Gethsemane, was that Of singing hymn.
Ohi could the client Christians of the present
day but have listened to that last plaintive,
touching, yet inspired song. they would be more
willing TO join in singing the praises of the Most
High, even when their hearts are tinged with
sadness and their feelings oppressed with painful
forebodings. Or could they but have listened to
Paul and Silss in the durgeon at midnight, ,ing-
ing praises to God, they would be disposed, when
In trouble. to initiate these inspired prison song
sters. Moreover, II IL were possible for them to
hear the music of that mighty redeemed congre.
cation before the great white throne, as it floats
on the breeze, they would be inspired 10 praise
the Lord with their voices in the congregation Of
the saints below. II this part Of religious wor-
osiip pe heBiecteu, we tnink the services OHeTeu
to God In the sanctuary become exceedingly do
fective, and peculiarly lacking in interest.
Undoubtedly there are several things which
have hitherto conspired 10 retard the practice of
congregational singing, but the most prominent
of these hindrances is the existence of choir
and the difficult music generally employed by
them. The fine old tunes full of music, and SO
admirably adapted TO the worship of God, which
were employed by Christians in former tines,
are nearly expunged from the congregation now,
and In their place fantastic, operate, comic, uu
inspiring, undevotional tunes are substituted
Who is there among us that heard the "old
Folks" concert that did not wish for revival in
our churches Of those fine old tunes. so grand, so
devotional, and In which all the congregation
could Join Z The leader OF a choir supposes that
in order to make the singing interesting. new
tunes must be constantly introduced. Nothing
could be more absurd than such practice; for
how can the people join in singing a tune they
never heard before? The celebrated Robt. Hall
once said "a new tune is almost bad n
new Gospel" There are some good old tunes
we should like to join in singing every Sabbath
day. We are glad TO find that al edition Of The
Psalmist with music to each hymn, has recently
been issued by Gould d Lincoln, in which are
many Of the tunes our fathers delighted TO sing.
We hope every congregation win use it.

A Game Dinner.

We heard an amusing story the other day, OF
q novel feast, that we don't recolect ever to
have seen in print. 1t is too good to be lost and
although it will certainly lose in our telling, we
may succeed in giving the point.
Shortly after the war with Great Britain. an
aristocratic English gentleman built residence
in the vicinity Of Fort George, on the Niagara
frontier and, In accordance with the old country
idea, Of exclusiveness, he enclosed his ground
with high tight fence. Here he lived like en-
old English gentleman, Zone Of the olden time,)
with the exception that none but the elite Of the
province and the officers Of the garrison were
permitted to pass his gate. There was very
good understanding between the American Off.
GERS at Fort Niagara and the British ut Fort
George, and the men were permitted occasional
ly to visit back and forth. Among the American
soldiers was q queer chap who suffered terribly,
was very fond Of hunting. and who was always
getting into every sort Of mischief.
One day this chap took the small boat that
lay moored at the foot Of the walls of the fort
aud crossed over to the Canadian shore for
hunt. He wandered over several miles in the
rear Of Fort George, without meeting any game,
and on his return seeing crow on q tree In the
enclosure of the arristocratic Englishman, he
scaled the high fence, fred and brought down his
game.
Colonel, or whatever his title might have been
I've viii call him Colonel, any how-witnessed
the transaction, and advanced while our soldier
was rs.loading. He was very angry, but seeing
the Yankee standing coolly with q loaded gun in
his hand, he gulped down his passion for mo-
mont, and merely asked him II he killed the
crow.
The soldier replied that he did.

pet. By.the.bye. that is n very pretty gun
Will you he so kind as TO let me look at it o
The soldier complied with the request The
Englshman took the gun, stepped back few
PAGES, took deliberate aim, and then brok forth
in TRADE Of abuse, concluding with an order to
stoop down and take bite Of the crow, or he
would blow his brains out. The soldier explain.

Rev. James Dannelly.

That summer we had camp meeting. don't
recollect much about IL, except That my father
came to see us, bringing messages OF love from
home, and good things put up by Mothers hands,
and that old Mr.. Dannelly was the generalissi-
mo tho ground / must any something Of
him, for he was character. His voice was fine
yet strong, like the sound that comes from sharp
ening cross cut saw on q cold, clear morning.
The picture of Captain Webb, the British soldier
and early Wesleyan preacher, reminds me of
James Dannely-stout in body, short broad,
courageous faces, both. True Webb lacked an
eye but Dannelly matched that in the Ia,k Of q
leg. His wooden leg was feature. Its resolute
thump, thump the floor was expressive Of de-
cision. When he put his foot down, it was there
especially his wooden one On IL he wheeled
with tremendous force, in the sharp appeals that
his shrill voice rang out to saints and sinners, on
the right and on the left. In one of his rounds,
he saw "a preacher, who had just got off SER
mon, lounging on bed with coat off. "Ahl
that's the way with you preachers generally:
weed short row, and then lie down." He hated
tobacco in oil its uses, especially smoked" This
making chimneye OF your months and noses"
Seeing dandy putting cigar at the tent door,
he reproved him. "Oh, Mr.. Dannelly, excuse
me friend gave me this" Mistaken, sir /, an
acquaintance. you mean" lie had way all his
own Of pouring ii on and rubbing it in. Once.
after the building Of the new church, the Lords
Supper was to be celebrated. Preaching over,
the non communicates and sinners had gone out,
and stood, a crowd, about the door, the commu-
nicants drew up nearer the altar. Loi the ele-
ments had not been provided. Brother Williams
had depended on Brother Bobo, and he on Broth
eT Hodges or Brother Herndon, and so IL was.
Dannelly waited till this state of things was fully
ascertained, and then. without saying a word,
went thump. thump, thump to the door. Pivot
ing himself on that wooden leg, till insiders and
outsiders were within his raking fire, he began:
No sacrament to day. You can go home. If
it had been party or picnic, I'll be bound
these Christians would have come up every one
| with his basket full. But it was only to cele.
brate the death and suffering of our Saviour. and
not one of them has brought piece of bread
You can go home. Lord have mercy on us.
Towards the close Of the year, went timidy
to him for my Church Letter

Then, for the first time, under n doughty,
rough exterior, the oil man showed me his kind
heart He drew me TO him and blessed me, and
said, "Yes you shall have a letter"
