WHAT THE CHOIR SANG ABOUT
THE NEW BONNET.


a foolish little maiden bought foolish
little bonnet,
With ribbon and feather. and bit
Of lace upon ii;
And that the other maidens Of the little
town might know it,
She thought she'd go to meeting the
next Sunday, just to show it.
But though the little bonnet was scarce
larges than dime,
The getting Of it settled, proved to be
awork OF time
So when twas fairly tied, all the bells
had stopped their ringing,
Aud hen she came to meeting, sure
enough, the folks were singing.
SO this foolish little maiden stood and
waited at the door
And she shook her ruffles out behind,
and smoothed them down before.
"Hallelujah. hallelnjah.' sang the choir
above her held-
Hardly knew YOU! hardly knew YOU
were the words she tho't they said.
This made the little maiden feel sovery,
very cross,
That she gave her little mouth a twist,
her little head toss (;
For she thought the very hymn they
sang was all about her bonnet,
With the ribbon, and the feather, and
the bit Of lace upon it.
And she would not wait to listen to the
sermon or the prayer,
But pattered down the silent street and
hurried up the stair,
Till she reached her little bureau, and
in a handbook on it.
Had hidden safely from critic 8 eye, her
foolish little bonnet.
Which proves, my little maidens, that
each of you will find {;
In every Sabbath service but an echo OF
your mind;
And that little head that's filled with
silly little airs,
Will never get blessing from sermon
or from prayers.

TEMpRRANcE.

\ conference of representatives OF
the Church of England Temperance So
ciety and the Committee of Convoca-
ton on Intemperance appointed on
Thursday, was held at the Westminster
Palace Hotel on Friday. The basis of
arrangement between the two bodies
was discussed, and further action deter
mined upon. The Church of Englahl
Temperance Society proposes to raise
at once 3 guarantee fund Of $4,000 for
five years.
The supplementary Report of the
Committee was presented at the sit,ings
of Convocation last week. This remin-
ded the House that former Report.
setting forth the evils of this vice, was
printed, aud their Lordships the Bish-
ops were requested to approach Her
Majesty aud pray that she would direct
the attention OF Parliament with
view TO the enactment of measures
which might remedy or prevent those
evils, and thereby promote the happi-
ness and welfare of Her Majestys sub
iects." The House further requested
the Bishops TO support all measures cal
cuated to remedy those evils The
Committee now reported the answer
made by Mr. Bruce, the Home Secreta-
nv. respecting the Memorial laid before
Her Majesty. and Sir Thomas Biddulph
has also written to say that the Queen
had very graciously accepted copy of
the Report The Committee congratu- d.
lated the House upon the speedy and
extensive circulation Of the Report thus
endorsed by both Houses of Conyoca-
ton, and on the beneficial results which
it had already produced. The Com
mittee would rejoice to see the estab-
lishment of the Church of England
Temperance Society in which the fol-
lowing principles were duly recognized:
-Q) That the Church of Christ is the
great temperance society of the world,
and that if all Christians were careful 10
fulfil the vows and promises Of. their
baptism the evils of intemperance would
soon disappear. (2j That it is the duty
of all members of the Church, whether
clergy or laity. TO use their utmost CT
forts, both by precept and by example,
to couteract this great social evil.
(3) That there are cases of inveterate
habits Of intempcrance in which no rem
edy short of total abstinence can avail
for cure (I) That there are many de
vout and conscientious persons, free
from any temptations to this vice, who
feel that from various causes, whether
for the sake of their own health, or for
the sake of example TO others, they are
hound to total abstinence. But thesc
are "cases of conscience. by which tho
liberty of others is not 10 be Judged or
ftttefed. The Committee were Of opin-
ion that the Church of England Ten.
perance Society based upon these prin-
ciples might be established with the
hope of extensive usefulness and great
success.

NEVER BET on A WOMAN.

On Thursday night at the Festival at
the Pioneer Hall, one of our young
bloods who fancied he Knew thing or
two about the sex, had his eye teeth cut
in very painful manner. Earlier in
the evening. while with party OF con-
genial companions, discussing the girls
OF their sett, the young feller boasted
of the progress he was making In the
affections of a certain damsel, saying he
had engaged to escort her from the es-
tival that evening. Another member
of the party offered to bet him five dol
lars that he could not take the girl
home, and the wager was promptly ac-
cepted and the money staked. The
parties then separated to meet again at
the Festival. few hours later, when
they all put in an appearance. The
party who rendered the bet, on coming
into the Hall, saw that sharp tactics on
his part were necessary to save his '.
His original intention of endeavoung to
secure an introduction to the maiden
and try his own persuasive arts IN entic-
inc her from her allegiance to his oppo-
nent, was abandoned for more strate-
gic policy as he saw at glance that
the other fellow had the best show. Ac-
cordingly he sought an old beau Of the
girl, who was "out" with her on account
of quarrel, and offered to give him 81
if he would flank the opposition and
'cut him out" The offer was accept
ed, and rs usual the old lover was too
much for the new The dansel was
quickly reconcied, and she left the hall
on the arm of her former flame, leaving
the new one disconsolate and five dol
lars out of pocket. Ifyou offer to bet
that young man now about anything,he
smiles sadly, sighs and says, 81 never
bet" His experience is too recent

APRINcE OF TIE PREss.-The Lon
don papers contain notice Of the re-
ioicing at the country seat of MIR. Wal
ter, of the London Times, consequent
on the marriage of his eldest surviving
son. Bearwood, the superb abode OF
this prince of the press, is in the royal
county of Berks, and not many miles
from Windsor. The house is enormous,
and the grounds are beautiful and ex-
tensive. The young lady who has mar
ried the herr TO this goodly heritage
comes Of distinguished ancestry, being
the daughter of a clergyman, Mr.. Ak
son, first cousin OF the Earl of Litch-
field. Her parents having married on
slender means, and having resolved, as
their family increased, to give their
children the best Of education, had the
rare courage to resort TO course when,
were it more genteel, we should less OF
ten hear the wall OF genteel pauperism,
more especially on the part Of impecu-
nious clergy They dismissed all their
servants. and with the exception of oc-
casional help from the village, the fami-
" did its own work, and Mrs. Axson,
herself, the daughter of colonel in the
guards, of ancient family, thought no
more of cooking dinner than Fifth
Avenue belle does of going to a ball.
The wise conduct was the admiration
and respect of every one, and there are
not few wealthy young men who
would prefer wife from such a home
to the spoilt fal-lal darlings with which
ball rooms do most abound.
