Sunday-School Music.

Some of the religious newspapers
have begun a war on Sunday music
In the Golden Rulc Eugene Thayer
w,lSes rather vigorously as fellows:
If we examine the words and music
OF the average Sunday school hymn
and tune book what do we find Z?
Save here and there a passahle Sc
lection, nothing but q mass of
stupid, lncongruous stuff, nonsense
and twaddle; illitcrate, ungram-
matical and utterly unpoetical
jingle; and music that trash or
dishwater would be too good a name
Tor. And this is not the worst of it.
The little innocents are actually
obliged to sing this driveling
nonsense. Think of children be-
ginning life with:
''Twill all be over soon:
lis only for a momnnt hero,
Twill all bo over soon
Or singing such dismal meditations
as this
"A few moro prayers
y few more tears,
1t won't bo long. 1t wont be long"
Mr.. Thaycr condemns also ssI want
to be an angel" He says that no
child does wants to be an angel
"when death is the price" Further
he says: L have seen and played
from n Sunday-school book which
had tho words "For Jesus is my
Saviour" set to that drunkard's
melody, "We won't go home till
morning" Three or four notes
changed, but the rest note for note.
Mr.. Derham, the former treasur
er, and for years the County Chair
man of tho Republican party in
Horny county, now in Now York,
writes Mr.. Walsh, tho agent of the

and draw on him at sight for his
per cent, as he regards it the duty
of every citizen to respond prompt
lysto the support of the only true
and legal government we have.

VIII There Be An Election2

Tho action of Congress yester~
day on tho report of the republican
majority of tho Electoral Commits =
sion in the Florida case was, in one
; view of the matter, of some interest.
Alter the two houses had separated,
to consider tho objections made by
MIR. Field to the report and the vote
thereon had been taken in the
House, u motion was made for u
recess until ten o'clock on Monday
; morning. The republican members
opposed the motion, raising the
point Of order that under tho Elcc-
: toral bill the joint convention must
meet again Immediately, and hence
could not take recess. The
Speaker ruled against the point of
order, and then tho House took
rccess,as proposed, until ten o'clock
on Monday.
, Carefully as the Electoral law is
drawn there appears to be some dis
crcpancy between two of it's sections
IN regard to the power of either
house to take a recess after voting
on an objection which the joint con
ventlon has separated to consider.
Section l, in reference to separa
tlons to consider objections to u
vote or votes from States from
which there shall be only one return
says :-"When the two houses
have voted they shall Immediately
agaln meet, and the presiding officer
Shall then announce the decision of
the question submitted" But sec
tlon S contains these words -
"Such joint meeting shall not be
dissolved until the count of the
electoral votes shall be completed
and the result declared, and no
recess shall be taken unless uues
ton shall have arisen in regard to
the counting of any such votes or
otherwise under Ia s act, in which
case it shall be competent for either
house acting separately, in the man
her hcrclnbeforc provided, to direct
q recess of such house not beyond
the next day, Sunday excepted, at
the nour of ten o'clock in the fore
noon,' &c: If the majority of the
House chooses to exercise this
power to adjourn for tho day after
every objection has been voted upon
1T might easily throw over the
result until after the 4th of March
by multiplying objections. There
arc yot thirty one States to count.
From and including Monday there
are eighteen working days before
March 4. The contested cases of
Louisiana and Oregon are not likely
to take less than four days together,
leaving fourteen days which might
be consumed in this manner, if the
democrats should he disposed to
factlously obstruct the completion
OF the count. This would leave the
President Of the Senate to fill the
duties of President of tho United
States for the year and necessitato a
new election next autumn.-N. y.

The Now York /Ieral0 has q verv
interesting article under tho above
head. 1t says:
"Not tho least depressing feature
OF the prevailing distress among the
poor is the work that remains un-
done by many people who have both
money and the charitable impulse.
These individuals are touched by
the miserios of the destitute thoy
long to be useful, but theiv usoful>
ness is impeded, if not entirely arr
rested, by a lot Of fanciful notions
which they fondly cherish for tboir
own sake. If they haunt the courts
of magistrates before whom poor
men are begging to be committed as
pnupers their pocket books romain
closed because they do not SEQ in
terestinS looking objects of charity;
II they eye the sad limo of applicants
at st. Johns Guild they search for
some attractive face, while they
neglect the wretched mother whose
every lincament and eyory rag of
covering is eloquent of woe; if they
visit asylnms with view of adopt
ing an orphan child they demand
some one with graces and virtues
not to be found collectively outside
of the Kingdom of Heaven Chari-
ty was not administered in this STYLE
IN Judea nineteen centuries ago;
the hungry were fed because their
stomachs were empty, not because
they wore pleasant to look upon
the sick were healed because they
needed to be made well, even if their
maladics were self-infictcd; tho
prisoner was visited because ho was
in jail, even if there were no OK
tenuating circumstances in his
villainy. TO let women and
children suffer because the head of
the family is drunken brute, to
neglect shivoring children because
they carry dirty faces and outrage
every grammatical rule, or to allow
a starving man to suffer on because
his face is unshaved and his gait ia
shambling, is TO mistake the true
nature Of charity and to convict the
would-be philanthropist of somo
thing worse than blundering"
Unfortunately, there is too much
truth in this statement Charity is
too often BESTOWED in the wrong
direction by good people who desire
to do what is strictly right, but act
from n mistaken judgment. It is
not always the most interesting OBJ
Ject which presents itself that is
most worthy of charity. Squalor
and misery could oftentimes DO
changed into contentment by the
benevolcncc which runs to waste, so
to speak, on undeserving objects.
There are always those in every
community who find happiness in
ministcring to suffering humanity,
but who frequently misapply their
generosity by searching out ":nter
esting cases and passing By silent
poverty, whose rags and DIRT do not
appeal to the artistic eye. Yet it is
just such beings who most need
charity.-Chr0nicle and Sentinel.
