You'll print this in your paper, wont you!
The L use of song, alas is dead.
No strains Of. ours can Ger arouse her,
Her once familiar squeak is fed.
And we. ourselves o'erpowered with dread,

|. ..MAnAM CRirlc :-Perinit me to say yotf are
mistaken about the 'musicIin the Presbyterian
church. Solemnity has been *'done so brown
there. that getting cn: tip toe and stretching
was no use: Even standing on the back of the
seats has failed to get the leader up to tho key
note - sosthey have had a pully fixed in the
ceiling with a eor'l attached. THIS is put
around under his shirt collar; land, strong
brother at the other, end of ii g. corl gently
raises and lowers him: e correspond with the
altitude Of the notes. As the ceiling is high
he has thus far; been able to catch the upper
dot before his. head Went through; but John
Wil:on had better. take care Of his lath and
plastcr. # No knowing. what may happen.

Know nothing Of this. When weatten-

We learn that the Bapti<t:choir has been
abolished, not on account Of our structures,
but from causes:of Inherent decay. We
are glad that any cause has brought about
this result. i Itwas composed Of good sing
ers, and we like TO- hear any one or all Of
them sing, bu: we hope they will End some
other use for. their talents thaa enforcing
silence upon the. hu'ublcst and least gifted
Of Gods people, when they come into His
house and ought to praise Him according
to His express aud oit-rcpeated command {.
