The drunken man was hustled out, and tho
fuueral proceeded
to sell 10-cent bar OF soap to little girl for
cents. Her mother waited until the next Sun
day, sent the samo child for some whisky and
sono beer, and then prosecuted tho dealer for
selling them contrary to Law.
One Of the saddest things about the Small Boy
OF tho present day Is tho uncertainty which
seems to attend him as he bounds along through
life. You can't always toll wlat he is going to
say. At Sunday y-schoo1 service held not long
ago, an aniab9e clergyman, endcavoring to illus
in order rightly to enjoy the benetectoas Of
Pfovldence, spoke as follows: 'For instance,
want to introduce water into my house; I have
it pumped. Tho pipes and faucets aro in good
order, but set no water. Now, why do get
people to see was that he made NO communica-
ton with the main in the street. But the boys

p 4 certain combination Of interests has been

together revcrent wntchword ara now casicatured
by the proceedings Of q French association at
Paris, which might on a similar principle be
credited with tho union of the nissal aud the
wine-bo:tla. The general report of the Society
OF Notro Dame du Salnt, instituted to promote
tho conversion Of the French people to Cathol-
icisu, announces that the Central Committee has
resolved TO convert tho Wine-shops into improv-
ing places OF resort. !" To calm" SAYS tho
in these ancient sanctuaries OF Dacchus,
it {tho Committee} has asked us, not
indeed, to water the wine, but to pour into it
few drops OF that golden elixir which will per-
NIT honest wine sellers to sell the wine at
cheaper 1ate," aud further, 1.-THE winc-sellers.
hosorod By larger custom owing to tho good
measure they give, engage to raise their estab-
Ishlnents to the rank Of Catholic clubs OF o
spacial order" In short, any owner OF cabaret
who chooses to accept tho position will bo ems
dox rivals, on the understanding that he will, in
return for this advantage, do little among his
customers for the Church.

A irst-class quartette, will, an organ.

1t costs something to have a fashion
able choir. An ordinary quartette costs
$500.
A good tenor singer, soprano, or con

sopranos are paid $4,000.
Warren, of St. Thomas Church. stands

One female singer in tue city has So,
600 for morning and afternoon service,
and $1,000 extra for singing in the eve

Many of our fashionable congrega
tions are dispensing with chors altogeth
er. and are calling in the aid of precen
tor. But this style of music has its Sc
rious drawbacks
The First Presbyterian Church of this
city has never had an organ or instru
ment of music. The spirit of Robert
Lennox still abides. 1t was considered
a great innovation when o quartette
choir was introduced.
st. Bartholomew is just now the rage
among fashionable church goers. 1t is
the newest and most elegant Episcopa
Church in the city. Its singing is a spe
ciality. Men crowd the aisles to heal
the music; when the sermon comes OF
they leave in droves.
The elegant little church on Fifth ave
nue., known as Christ Church, is famou,
for its music. Run down by Mr.. Ever
Ritualism, New York broker proposed
to tune things up by brilliant singing
The broker paid in one year $4,000 70
the music of this church.
Plymouth Church has congregations
singing, led by full choir. Inside th,
choir is paid quartette. The trustee
set apart 81 500 for music. To this i:
added $500 more, bringing it up to So,
600. Fifteen hundred of this is paid tc
Mr.. Zundel as organist; the balance tn
leader uses at his discretion.
Many of our churches tire of the pres
ent mode Of conducting the service o
song in the house of the Lord. In som,
cases singers hardly get the burnt corl
off their faces in season for the morning
worship. Italians and Jewesses, VIII,
sing at the theatcr until midnight on Sat
urday at heavy salary, appear in tn
church to praise the Lo I'd.
