SERENADE.-A serenade to a new married
couple came off Thursday night in the upper
part OF Danforth street. 1t was powerful
affair-there being some fifty or sixty perform
ers. The instruments were unique and varied,
running from the small table bell to the sono-
rous gong, and interspersed with bird whistles,
drums or tin pans Sc. The Portland and
Forest City Bands could not begin to give
such serenade. What it lacked in sweetness
OF tone, harmony and time, was made up in
terrific volume of sound, varied now and
then by the firing of muskets! 1t attracted
the attention of the residents for quarter of
mile each side of the house where it was
given, and created more amusement than any
thing that has ever before occurred in that
neighborhood. The bridegroom did the hand
some thing and treated the artists in a hand
some manner, after which the "Band" sepa-
rated quietly, having enjoyed good time, and
afforded people in that vicinity a good laugh.

/ The YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN Association
did very creditable thing at Bath, WedneF-
day, in admitting ladies to active membership
in that organization. In some of the other
States this privilege has not been accorded to
the ladies', and Young Women's Christian As
sociatiou was formed at. cleveland recently.
This is all wrong. The real work of the Asso-
citation is, or ought to be, a practical work-a
work that shall relieve the necessities of the
poor, carry the light of know ledge to the ig-
norant and bring the criminal classes within
the reach OF reformatory influences. The
Young Mems Christian Association ought not
to be mere appendage of the churches for
doctrinal propagandism and for the due OBJ
servance of the mere formal part of Christian
ity. In the practical work of Christianity
women are far more earnest and self sacri
ficing than men, and it is only by the coopera
ton OF the two sexes that there is possibility
OF the Associations becoming anything more
than variation of the church organization
under new name.
