.Farners, Girla.

..-.-- Farmers Girla.
Upsin the early morning,
just At the peep of day,
Straining the milk in tho dairy,
~ farming the COWS away &;
SweeRing the floors in the kitchen;
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parlor chairs.
Brushing crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs in the barn,
Roasting the meat for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn,
Spreading the snow white linen
Down on the bushes below,
Ransacking every meadow,
Where the red strawberries grow.
Starching the cotton for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Ringing the palcs and strainer,
Down in the running stream,
Feeding the geese and poultry,
Making the puddings and pies,
Jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty Of form and feature,
Thousands might covet to own
Checks that rival tho roses,
Teeth the whitcst of pearls,
One Of the country maidens is worth
A score Of your giddy girls.

Musical Ohit-Ohat.--No. s.

Ch"rch 1husfc, as 1hree.fold System.
DY WALTER STEELE.
Mr.. EDITOR: trust that your nu-
mcrous readers will pcruse this num-
ber carefully, as it treats of ancient
customs, and will try to bring it down
to the present age.
In reviewing the history of Church
music, we find that during the various
ages of the Church three distinct styles
of music have been developed that
peculiar to the clergy that peculiar
to the choir /; and that peculiar to the
people.
Music by the people: This is the
oldest style Of music in the Christian
Church. For the first three hundred
years after Christ there was no other
than this; the singing of the primitive
Christians was congregational, all ta-
king part i'll it. About the year $50,
the first change occurrcd-that of re.
sponsive singing. The people, how
ever, still bore part in this music,
which thus maintained its congrega-
tional character.
Music Of the choir: Choir music
was first introduced into the Church IN
the fourth century. At this period q
distinct class Of persons was first ap-
pointed to take charge OF this part Of
public service. Through the choir,
however, and through an instrumental
style Of performance afterward intro
duccd, great musical abuse seems to
have crept into the Church, and finally
the music Of the theatre was bodily
transferred to the Church, which ac-
cordingly became the scene Of great
theatrical pomp and display. To such
an extent was this the case, that it
brought down the severe ccnsurc of
Jerome and the Abbot Pambo of
Egypt.
Music Of the clergy: Last in the
chain of changes, the music of the
clergy was introduced into the Church.
Unfortunately, however, this new rca-
turc involved violent wrestling Of all
music from the people.
The entire monopoly by the clergy
of Church music continued until the
era of the reformation when Luther
restored, as the cup to the mouth, SO
congregational music to the lips OF the
people.
In our modern Church, the choir
has most all the say-music is made
by it, and God worshppcd by it.
The office Of the choir has yet to be
definitely determined and understood. i.
While we do not object to few mem
hers of church forming themselves
together as band Of singers, filling
the position Of leading or pitching the
keynote that all might follow, yet we
object to choir to undertake to wor-
ship God for us-no soul, surely, can
worship for another soul. No set
apart body Of persons can do the wor-
ship for the rest Of church assembly.
In worship, each individual soul must
appear before its Maker, and itself
perform its own act of homnge. An
entirely unmcanins thing is worship
by proxy.
The simplest feasible arrangements
for church | hold to be, n pastor and
II pulpit. an organ and an organist (o,.
mclodeon.) With this arrangement
0t joining i'll the singing, and thereby
praise God, but do not let us hinder
and thwart devotion by making it the
responsibility Of few whose ONLY
reaiize9 responsibility is the music.

Ten THOUSAND IlrMAN Beings ror
AN OLD BrCKET.-About seven hun.
drcd years ago there was country in
Europe called Modena, and another
country lying beside it called Bologna.
Some soldiers belonging to the State
of Modena took bucket from we'll
in the State Of Bologna and carried it
away. The old bucket was Of no
value and might have been replaced
10y few cents; and it is said the SOL
dicrS carried it away in mere fun and
frolic. But the people Of Bologna
took it. as n great insult. They de
clarcd war against Modcna, and had a
long and bloody conflict about it.
More than ten thousand human beings
were butchcrcd because Of the oid
b"cktf.-Angci Of Peace.

The FISHING FRoG.-Writcrs on
natural history describe hidcous rep
tile known as the fishing frog, which
angles for its game as cxpcrtiy and
with as great success as tho most
adroit tly-fisher. lie is a clumsy,
awkward swimmer, but nature has
compensated him for his unwicldiness
by furnishing him with an equivalent
for rod and line, and bait already for
use. Two elongated tcntaclcs spring
from his nose, which taper away like
actual fishing rods. 10 the end Of
them is attached by slender filamcnt,
which serves the purpose of line, a
bait in the form Of shiny bit Of men,
hranc. The hooks are set in the mouth
Of the fisherman down below, and in
order to induce the fish to venture
within reach of them, the angler stirs
up the mud at the bottom with his tail.
This attracts the fish, and conccals
him from observation. He then plies
his rod; the glittcring bait glows in
the water like n living insect. The
lazcd fish are taken in great numbers,
perfectly circumvented Ivy the trick of
tic crafty angler The Guiary.
