PRONOUNCE YOUR WORDS PLAINLY
Distinct and pleasant enunciation in
either sacred or secular vocal music is a
rare attainment. Often it is wholly i'm
possible to understand the words sung
sometimes the melange of nonsense tina:
seems to be uttered is simply ridiculous.
Singers who give no thought to this
matter may proiitably study the fol-
lowing stanzas, which purport, rather
absurdly to be sure, to be the musical
efforts of a fashionable young lady
seated at the piano:
when ther moo -hoon is mi -hild -ly be-heam-
Der tier ca-halm and si-hi-lent se-e-a,

LITTLE BESSIE.

Out in the gloomy night, sadly / roam;
have no mother dear, no pleasant home;
No one to care for me, no one would even i
poor little Bessie should die.
Weary and tired Eve been wandering al
day, asking for work,
But am too small they say, on the damp
must now lay my head;
Fathers drunkard and mother is dead.
We were Sc happy till father drank rum,
Then all our sorrow and trouble began;
Mother grew pale, and wept every day;
Baby and 1 were too hungry to play;
Slowly they faded till one Summer night,
Found their dead faces stern and white,
Then with big tears slowly dropping said
Fathers drunkard and mother is dead.
Oh if the temperance men only could find
Poor wretched father and talk very kind;
Ifthey would stop him from drinking oh;
Then should be so very happy gain,
Is it to late temperance men please say
Or poor little Bessie must starve and die
All the day long I've begged for bread
Fathers drunkard and mother is dead.

NEW COLLECTION OF SACRED Music
We have thoroughly examined "Baum-
bach's New Collection of Sacred Music,' p
and find it to be q most excellent col
lection for quartette or chorus singing.
The music is all of high order, yet
not difficult, and may be rendered easily
by most choirs and singing classes. Ii
has been introduced into our choir and
musical association, and is becoming a
favorite. There are some of the choic-
est things in it that we have met with
lately. One great beauty of the work
is the instrumental score that accom-
panies every piece. This enchances the
value of the book, and makes the music
SO much more effective. There is nc
work that we have ever seen that We
can recommend so highly for choil
purposes, or for use of musical conven-
ti0ns, or associations, as this work. II
is published in Boston, Mass, by Olivel
Ditson & Co., and can be had of al
music dealers. The price is $3.50 pei
single copy.

JUMPING THE RoPE.-Every year we
have accounts to chronicle of the death
of little girls from the over-jumping of
the rope. We had hoped to get through
this year without such a case, but it
seems this is not to be the exceptional
year. Little Flora Bartholo, daughter
of A Bartholo, 4 citizen of Lawrence
burg, Ind, about nine years old, was
jumping the rope during recess, and
being high-spirited determined to beat
all her little playmates, and did. She
jumped till the girls turning for hcr
tired out and stopped. She had jumped
35l times, and when the rope stopped
she fell to the ground unable to speak
She was carried home and died without
having uttered single word.

THE WAY IT Is DoNE.oJ. B. Russel
had been fined, in January, 1873, fol
the illegal selling of whisky, $25 and
cost; again, in September, 1873, he was
fined $50 and cost, which amounted te
1886. Last January term he was again
indicted, and on that indictment he
plead guilty at the present April term
and was fined to the exceedingly heavy
amount of $40 and cost. As at the
same time he plead not guilty to an in
dictment found against him by tn,
Grand Jury Of the present term, it il
to be hoped that when he will be con
victed next October term, he may b,
punished by fine at least as heavy a
fire dollars.

INDICTMENTs.-The Grand Jur n
Xenia are no: slow in the matter o.
bringing in indictments against the
liquor sellers of that town. To let oul
readers know what is done in othe,
places We mention some of the fine:
imposed in the above named town
Tim O'Connel, one of the indicted liquol
dealers, was arraigned to receive SEN
tence on twenty indictments, to which
he had previously entered the plea OF
guilty. On ten for selling liquor he was
fined SIS and costs in each, and to stand
committed until the fines and costs are
paid. On four other indictments for
the same offense he was fined $40 and
costs, and to stand committed until the
fines and costs are paid. On one, for
selling to minor, fine of 500 and
costs, with same conditions, were i'm
posed. On three others, for the same
offence, he was fined $25 and costs, &c.
On one for same offence, he was fined
$25 and costs, &C., and ten days impris-
onment in Jail. On one other, a fine of
S35 and and costs, &C., and thirty days
Imprisonment i'm Jail. On the last in
dictment he was fined $loO, ,and costs &c.
and forty days imprisonment in the
County Jail.
John Miller received sentence of 800,
and costs, &C., and sixty days imprison-
ment in Jail on two indictments for sell
ling liquor, and James Foley, on, two
indictments, 500 and costs, &C., and
sixty days Imprisonment in jail. 7,
Our own Grand Jury during their
late session sent in indictments against
several liquor sellers in this county, but
not near as many as ought to have been
found against them and others. Scores of
witnesses were sent up who testified or
could have testified to seeing men drink
in many of these places, yet no indict-
ments were made. We cannot give the
number of indictments handed in, but
below we give the fines imposed thus
far by the Judge during this session:
Conrad Schuler, on indictment at
last term, fined $50 and costs.
J. B. Russell, $40 and costs.
