Singing by Surgeons Congregation.

A writer to the Western Presbyterian thus
describes the singing, as he heard it recently, of
Spurgeon's congregation, London:
The hymn was read entirely through and each
verse was read before it was sung. The singing
was started-not led-by person who stood
beside Mr.. Spurgeon. welcomed the familiar
notes of Old Hundred, and for the first time for
several months, essayed to join in singing it.
But was surprised into silence by the manner
in which the audience took possession of the
tune. The most powerful organ, if there had
been anything of the kind used, could not have
led them. The second hymn was announced to
be, Jesus, Lover ofmay Soul. The preacher said,
tune Of P7egees 6 W Hyn. When I the frst t. verse aae
had been sung and after he had read the Sec
ond, he said, ''Sing it softly !" With coun-
tenance uplfted and beaming with fervor, his
book in both hands, keeping time involuntarily
to the music he sang with the congregation.
When he had read the third verse, he said,
''You do not sing it softly enough'' They sang
it softly. 1t was thought some mighty hand
had damned up the waters Of the Falls of
Niagara, leaving thin sheet to creep through
between two fingers and make soft, sweet music
in its great lap, and plunge into the great basin
below. Then when he had read the fourth
verse, he said, ''Now, if we feel this we will
sing it with all our SOUL Let us sing it with all
our might" )" and the great congregation burst
forth into song. 1t was as thoughthe Great Hand
had been suddenly uplifted, and the gathered
waters were rushing on their united way in awful
grandeur.
have heard the members of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, with
great company of their wives, and daughters,
and friends, sing Old Hundred with fervor
that thrilled me; have heard oratorios render
ed in Exeter Hall by thousand selected voices,
five hundred instruments, and a great organ;
have heard operas rendered in the Imperial
Opera House of the French Emperor by a great
number of the best vocalists and musicians that
could be found in Europe, but have neyerheard
music so pathetic, grand and soul-stirring as
that made by those who worshipped with me in
the Metropolitan Tabernacle. was too much
carried away to take part in it myself. Mr..
Spurgeon always uses those precious hymns
and the old loved tunes

Sad and Lonely.

Sad and Lonely.
He comes not as he said he would,
He comes not as he swore he should,
So over the past, link by link,
All alone am left to think.
ALI alone with thoughts of the past,
Dark Shadows are over me cast;
Once he found me without a care,
Now leaves me alone in despair.
Vainly I look forth in the dark,
In vain for his footsteps l bark
No sound can be heard in the street,
Save the wind and the fall of sleet.
Why am left lonely to weep,
And these weary vigils to keep?
Oh! why does he my love forsake
And why leaves he my heart to break?
He comes not as he swore he would,
He comes not as he said he should,
But all alone, with my sorrow
Leaves me waiting for the morrow.

Printers.

Printers are unlike other classes
OF men, Their vocation imparts in
them an intelligence that does not
result from any other business
Dealing with language exclusively,
in its combination Of letters, words,
sentences, ane paragraphs, they are
constantly brought into communion
with thoughts and their working,
and thus ins nsibly become imbued
with the ideas of those minds whose
creations they help to embody into
those forms that give them to the
world. They literally get grammar
at their finger ends, while picking
up the types that form sentences
that are grammatical. Spelling
comes to them as natural as breath
ing, for they fall into correct or
biography from force of habit.
The characteristics ofprinters are
not so favorable to personal thrift
as those Of other professions. They
partake Of the nature Of artists in
some degree, and are generally lib
eral to a fault, thoughtless of the
future and frequently improvident
for the present-"hush" when in
good situation. and "dead broke"
on a tramp. They may be said to
be the working Bohemians of the
world Of operatives.
"PRINTERs' DEVILS"
From wild, friendless boys in the
streets are made what is called
Printers Devils next they become
printers, and after that sometimes
editors, in which capacity they not
unfrequently make their mark in the
nation and in the world. DR.. ,
Franklin was q most eminent in
stance in the early days ofour coun- q
try. And Thurlow Weed, Horace
Greeley, Simon Cameron, Vice
President Hamlin, General Dix,
Speaker Coliax, Gideon Wellcs,
Roberl Bonner, Prince Napoleon,
Petroleum Vesuvius Nasby and Ar
Lemus Ward, are striking examples ?
