COOP SINGING. Our churches are he
ginning TO recognize the importance Of
better music in their regular Sabbath
service, and that talent must be secured
for the choir az well as the pulpit
Good singing is demanded as well az
good preaching, and this fact we are
glad to see is being recognized here.
What is. there more dreary, i not
laughable, than to hear the thrilling
words Of DR.. Watts, or Bishop Heber,
or Charles Wesley, droned through the
nose Of some wheczy, old bacripe Of a
chap, to the tune the old COW died OF,
when they could be made a. effective as
the sermon by good choir? The
grandest musical productions Of Mozar,
and Beethoven can he most appropri.
ately rendered in our churches, and in
connection with church worship, and
there people should be permitted to en-
Joy them, and in addition, the congre'
CATION can lie effectively led in their
grand old hymns bya well handled and

A SMALL SMASH UP.--I eSterlay
morning about nine o'clock, az a train
was backing into the Baltimore n Ohio
depot, the rails being so slippery that
the wheels OF the engine could not get
sufficient hold to check the train and
prevent its running in too fast, it collid
ed with a car standing on the track,
smashing the platforms on each end Of
the sleeping coach and making ter
rible crushing and jaming without do,
ing much damage. A couple Of fe,
males were in the sleeping car and the
screaming they set up was sufficient to
DO for first class railroad collision.

LOOK OR PoR CoLps-Now is just
the time to take cold, while the weather
is changing from the extreme warmth
OF summer to the cooler condition of
fall. Men often leave their houses in
che morning when the sun is shining
warm and pleasant, and, therefore, do
not take more than sufficient amount
of clothing for present need. Perhaps,
before night, a cold, drizzling rain sets
in, and the system is chilled. inducing
rheuma;isms, catarrhs, fevers, etc, etc,
and all for the want Of little more
precaution in the amount OF clothing TO
protect the body. 1t is far preferable
to suffer a little Inconvenience from a
wooden shirt during the warm part Of
the day, than to suffer from chills to-
wards evening.

boys must have their fun. but we sug-
