HERE is a touchingly beautiful il
lustration of. the power of music.
A New York clergyman, who is
fine singer, on a recent visit to q
mad house, approached the cell of 8
maniac, who rushed for him IS far
as bis chain would allow, shouting,
"I'll kill you'll "Clear out !" In
stead of moving. the preacher began
to sing "Our Home in Heaven"
First, the mad man listened; then
he stretched himself out to the full
length of his chain. First ore arm
relaxed and then the other. Tears
moistened his eyes. Then he coiled
up on his bed of rags as quiet as a
child. And when the hymn was
ended he looked up say Ing, More,
More" The preacher sang till
his strength gave way and then he
left.

FThat is q very beautiful story o.
the clergyman who visited an insane
asylum, and was attacked by a ma
MAC, but who broke into q song md
sung it so clearly and sweetIy that
the maniac was subdued, and when
he stopped from exhaustion, he cried
for more, and he sung more, and the
maniac gave up. This story made
a very strong impression on Mr..
Coville, of this village, and the more
he thought of it, the more he was
impressed by it. A day or TIVE after
reading this beautiful story, Mr..
Coville's boy canght a boy named
Phillips near the foundry and filled
his hair with tar. The boy went
straight home. of course, with his
shocking looking head, and as his
home is on the same street as that of
Coville's, Mr. Phillips hurried there
at once. He vociferated into Mr..
Coville's ear the cause of his visit,
and requested that Master Coville
be passed ont and cut up between
them. Mr.. Coville expressed his
indignation at the outrage his son
had committed, and promised to
punish him severely for it. But this
was not what Mr.. Phillips wanted.
lnstesd of comforting him the prom
Use appeared to i~rritate him. He
danced out to the walk, and clutched
an imaginary boy by the hair and
struck an imaginary boy in the face
with a feroeity that was dreadful, and
then danced back again, and howled
for Master Coville to be brought out.
MIR. Coville was frightened at his ve-
hemence. and sought by all the pow
ers of persuasive oratory to soothe
him, but he was not to be quelled.
At every fresh argument he repeat
ed his singular demonstration, with
such intimidating additions as snap
ping his fingers, and shaking his fist
in the face of his neIghbor. Hav-
ing exhausted his reasoning, and
Phillips becoming more infamed all
the while, Mr.. Coville was about to
beat a retreat for the safety of his
own person, when the beautiful story
OF the clergyman and the maniac
suddenly flashes into his mind. Here
was sure and unexpected relief.
Mr.. Phillips had danced down to
the walk and was dancing back, with
half a dozen imaginary boys in tow
whom he was belaboring in a MUIR
derous manner, but Mr.. Coville did |
not mind him. He felt that he had
the turbulent mass of passion within
his control, and as he realized his
power a feint smile of triumph and
pleasure stole into his face then he
began to sing. 1t is years since Mr..
Coville INDUCED in the luxury of vo-
cal music, and his catalogue of
pieces is neither large nor varied, but
he took up the first one that present
ed itself, and rolled it out. It was
A Life on the Ocean Wave" a very
piece, and quite popular when
Mr.. Coville retired from singing. 1t
is a long time, as we have said, since
Mr.. Coville had occasion TO use his
voice, and it worked a trifie awk-
ward and Uneven at first, but he re-
membered that his purpose was a
noble one, and he did not shrink :
rom criticism. As he advanced {
along In his song he was pleased but 6
Tot surprised to see Phillips first {

AN elderly gentleman who has a
