Now that spring is with US and picnics are
oil the rage different parties are constantly in
search Of suitable spots in our suburbs where
they may enjoy the usual pleasures Of day
in the open air. The City Park was once a
very excellent place, but now it is almost en-
tirely Stunned as being worthless. True, the
giant oaks are still there, but the benches and
fences, the bridges and other little improve
ments which were here in good order, are
now of no value. People wonder how 1t is
that while they spend money every year in
the way of taxes for the purpose Of keeping
this Park in good repair, it is continually
pett ing worse and worse. Some little atten-
ton has been paid to the fences by people
residing in the neighborhood. but our Park
Com missioners have done nothing.
One gentleman, who lives near the front
entrance, has frequently filed up the holes
near the gate, and has spent some money to
keep the gates themselves in working order.
Now, sometimes people get very inquisitive
about where their money is placed, and we
have heard several taxpayers inquire very
earnestly what the Park Commissioners had
done, what they were doing. and what they
proposed 10 do with the amount received by
them for the park tax. OF course. such ques.
.ions are very amusing, but still some people
think the Commissioners ought to answer.

the gentlemen appointed on the different

Justice to themselves. and to satisfy the
anxiety of many who feel really interested, it
would be well for them to occasionally make
public some of their workings.

Brother Glover" and How He would
Sing in Church.

Brother Glover was a pretty big man in
certain old Connecticut village. He would
swear a little sometimes but when he SUBJ

the old church, that special act OF charity
covered multitude of sins Brother Glover
had big voice. There was no time, tone
or tune in it, but he beloved as he pleased
in church singing. When the new church
was finished it had to be dedicated and
choir was carefully trained to do the sing
ing. Brother Glover was not Of the choir
and the intention was to rule him out Of the
vocal exercises. The choir had carefully
rehearsed a new dedicatory hymn, and eve
rything was ready for the interesting ccre.

Brother Glover was in his place in front

struck up, and Brother Glover's voice rose
loud above the organ. There was pause.
The organ and choir we're mute, and the lat.

the ceiling, explained that it was new
piece which the choir alone had practiced,
aud requested the congregation not to join
in the singing. The piece was recommended,
and again Brother Glover's big voice broke
it up. The preacher then fixed his eyes on
Brother Glover and requested him to keep
silence during the performance Of the new
piece, which he did not understand and
Brother Glover, looking at his beloved pas

An exchange says that one sign of the
advance of civilization is this 1t is not con-
sldered impolite when woman comes late
into church on Sunday, if two or three men
are already seated in the pew she enters, for
them to move quietly along and make a
place for her at the head Of the pew, instead
or rising and ostentatiously filing into the
aisle, kicking over foOtstoOls and stepping on
each others heels, to allow her to pass to the
farthest sitting in the pew. The old custom
vet prevails in too many churches 1t is a
relic of the past ages, when the men of the
congregation were momentarily liable TO be
called to take arms against their crafty foes,
the Indians, and it was important that the
men should sit where they could the most
quickly answer to the summons.

Education of Women.

by an act of the legislature this institution
has always been open for the education of
females.
The world is so full Of genuine women,
guided by the noblest principles, and evinc-
ing an almost desperate eagerness to earn an
honorable living for themselves, parents or
little Ones that the necessity for an education
different IN this respect from that usually
given to girls must be apparent to all. If
viewed from the standpoint Of actual instead
of ideal life, the course of study followed in
the average female seminary will logically
appear rs n standing wonder, II has been
so long in use that the principle upon which

MY IDOL.
ny GRACE ATHERToS.

by GRACE ATHERTOS.
! for myselfa an idol made,
And happily ! dreamed,
Tho all on earth'should e'er prove false,
This must be what It seemed,
And so upon a higher plane
Than e'er was reached before
Ipaced this fancy Of my brain
And worshipped all the more.
Ny idol was prince TO me,
A prince along the line;
No purer gem was ever found
In sea or golden mine,
And for this one all others were
0ffairer heritage.
This one redeemed all falslty
And gave brighter page.
And thus dreamed, as foated by
The days of summer time,
Nor had thought but this would be
As sweet as curfew chime.
Yet by one word, my heart was turned
To adamant for aye,
My dream was passed, and / awoke
To find my idol clay.

Silent to sit and join their stare
With others, timely gathered there.
The last stroke yet clings to the steel,
Fen as the pastor bids to kneel-
What earnest noise the assembly makes,
As each the humble posture takes
One voice now stirs the fan-vext air.
A meek, kind voice, tender with care

For blessings on his locks wide ways!
Bursts from their hidden nook on high

Swollen, in time, by each true voice
'Mongst those who in their pews arise.

The building-words for weekday hours
Then, with closing song of strength
The service finds an end at length.
Out Of the doors they all have pressed,
And the tired pastor is at rest.

Nor till the night sees day time smiling yet,
