SINGING. - Old Thomas Fuller
quantity says: "Lord, my voice, by
nature, is harsh and untunable, and it
is vain to lavish any art to better it.
Can nay singing Of Psalms be pleasing
to Th3 ears, W llich is unpleasant to
my own f@Ye ct, though cannot chant.
with the nightingale, or chirp with
the blackbird, 1 had rather chatter
with the swallow; yea, rather croak
with the raven, than be altogether 81
lent. Hadst Thou given me better
voice, L. would have praised Thee
with better voice; now, what my
music wants in sweetness, let it have
in sense-singing praise with my un-
derstanding. Yea, Lord, create in me
a new heart, therein to make melody,
and l will be contented with my old
voice, until in Thy due time, be-
ing admitted into the choir of heav-
en-, have another more harmonious
bestowed on me-"

Half a dozen little mountain brooks
flow into Mono Lake, but not stream
ofany kind flows out OF it. Itneithcr
rises or falls, apparently, and what il
does with its surplus water is dark
and bloody mystery. All the rivers
ofNevada sink into the earth myste-
ously after they have run 100 miles
or so-none OF them flow TO the sea
after the fashion OF rivers in all other
lands.
There are only two seasons in the
region round about Mono Lake, and
these are the breaking up Of win
ter and the beginning of another.
More than once have l seen a perfect
ly blistering morning open up with
the thermometer at ninety degrees at
eight o'clock, and seen the snow fall
fourteen inches deep and the same
identical thermometer go down to
forty-four degrees under shelter be-
fore nine O'Clock at night. Under
favorable circumstances it SHOWS at
least once in every single month III
the year, in the little town of Mono.
So uncertain is the climate in summer
that a lady who goes out visiting can
not hope to be prepared for all emer-
gencies unless she takes her fan under
one arm and her snow shoes under
the other. When they have Fonrth

on them, and they do say that, as 9
general thing, when man calls for q

chops it off with hatchet and wrap:

And it is further reported that the
old soakers haven't any teeth-wore
them out eating gin cocktails and
brandy punches. / don't endorse that
statement-I simply give it for what
it is worth-and it is worth-well
should say millions to man who car
believe it without straining himself
But 1 do endorse the snow on the

The most remarkable railroad i'll
Germany and Europe is the new Black
Forest road, which will be completed
within four year. Between Hornberg
and st. George, situated 2,S70 feet
above the level of the sea, and but 4
miles distant from HorDberg the rail-
road ascends nearly 1000 feet, and
passes through $1,000 feet of tunnels !;
11,00O feet of the latter have been
completed during the last two years.
The truly Cyclopean work on the
