uals. Tho Island, which is de-
scribed as a fertile and delightful

possession, found there countless
herds of goats, some thirty hall

No Singing, No Preaching.

A story is told of IN old New
England pastor, DR.. EmmoDs. who,
it was said, was no great lover of
sweet sounds. and religiously ex-
cluded from his meeting house all
instrumental music except a little
mahogany colored wooden pitch
pipe of the size of an "eighteen
mo-" book. A member of his choir
had learned to play the base viol,
and anxious to exhibit his ekill,
early one Sunday morning most
advisedly introduced his big fiddle
into the singing gallery. After
the first prayer was ended, and the
doctor began to handle his "Watts,"
the base viol lifted up his profan
ation, and trying his strings, in'
stantly attracted the doctors at
tention, Ho paused, laid down
his hymn book, took his sermon
from tho cushion, and proceeded
with his discourse, as if singing was
no part of publicworship, and
finally dismissed his congregation
without note or comment. The
whole choir were indignant. They
stayed after the meeting, and all the
girls and young men resolved moi
to 60 into the ''singing seats" al
all in the afternoon, and the elders
who did 60 there, bore the visages
of men with minds made up. Ser

manner rather firm, read the psalm
again, paused, ,hcn rc>read thu

spectacles, looked interrogatively
at the gallery. The leader coult

said decidedly, "There won't b,
