congregational Singing,

About the worst use II congreg CATION can
make Of a choir is to leave it to do the singing
for the people To say nothing of human
worship by proxy, the congregation which
leaves the choir to do all the singing misses
many advantages. Yet this is too often the
case, and in some quarters increasingly so.
In too many places of worship the work of
the choir is becoming separate and indie
pendent performance, and the body of the
cungre CATION look on with indifference or lis
ten with interest, as the case may be. You
may call it "A Sunday concert in the house of
God, but never call it congregational worship
when the people pay little heed TO the sing
ing, and take little personal part i'll IT, Either
the congregations should take more part aud
interest in the vocal worship, or leave it to
the choir altogether, merely following them.

ing is not to be had without toll and cost. II
it could come by merely wishing for it, then
many congregations would sing much better
than they do. They need TO inform them
selves what really is good congregational
singing, aud then lay themselves out for il
accordingly. A minister cannot from the
pulpit give much advice about singing still
less can he go into the details of art criticism
A few remarks occasionally, calling upon al
the congregation to join more heartily in tht
singing. is the most that he can undertake
with propriety and success. The congrega
tion needs to be called together apart from
worship. and solely for practice and instruc
ton in the vocal art A skil'ful and judiciou,
teacher can soon point out the usual fault,
and lead them on 10y intelligent practice Il

BUGYNG A GIANT.-They had considerable
trouble burying William Campbell, the Scot
tish giant and heaviest man in the world, who
died at Newcastle, England, May 2G, - years
of age, of congestion of the lungs. A coffin
had to be specially made for his corpse, which
weighed 72S pounds, and as he died in room
in the third story of the Newcastle inn he
owned, the body could only be removed
from the house by taking out the window of
the room, knocking away the brick work at
its side and slowly lowering it by block and
tackle, In two hours this was effected, but,
as no hearse in town would hold such a mon
strous coffin, it had to be placed on an ordin-
airy dray Preceded by brass band, the
funeral procession consisting of family friends
and members of an order to which Campbell
belonged, proceeded to the cemetery, its
route being lined 10y thousands who had
gathered, and who jammed into the cemetery
SO thickly that great damage was done, some
being crowded into the freshly-opened grave.
1t took an hour TO lower the coffin, which
weighed more than half ton, into the grave
and though Campbell had been dead but "a
hours, his remains were SO decomposed that
the workmen could hardly endure the stencil.

The EngIIsh Hare.

In wcll-presel ycd parishes hares may be
seen moving by day, and in n young wheat
field the effect of their ears overtopping the
green blades is very amusing, but as twilight
falls they become very lively. A story is cur
rent in one highly-preseryed district of the
Squire opening gate at one end of n field,
near which he took his stand while he sent
his dog round to the other end to drive out the
hares He was astonished to see some 400
rushing through the gateway like Il flock of
startled sheep. Edward, the Bantfshire nat
uralst notes that in contradistnction to the
rabbit. the hare feeds much by night, even in
the darkest nights. On these occasions, i'll
spring and summer, it utters its low cry of
bleak. bleak" We have seen the hares in
March behaving in the most ridiculous man.
ner running round and tumbling over one
another so as deservedly to justify the proverb
of mad as a March hare. 4 hare's cries and
screams are piteOus when wounded or shared.
Hard must that heart be which is not moved
by the outcry. There is only one kind in
England. but in Scotland another species in
habits the hilly districts, which is gray in
summer turning pure white, save for tho
black tips of its ears, in winter-another in
stance of the many providential arrange
ments to provide for the safety of Alpine ami
mails in time of snow. The four long front
teeth of hares and rabbits are constantly
growing, and as constantly ground down. Mr.
Buckland, in his amusing book on these ami
mails, gives curious plates and more curious
particulars of the malformations which result
when Nnything interferes with this process.
Both hares and rabbits are capital swimmers,
and Cowper has left on record the easy man
ner in which the former may be domesticated.
Considering how prolific it is, it is singular
fact that the hare like the squirrel and the
dormousc, has never been known to breed in
confinement. Many superstitions attach with
all nations to the hare. Should one run down n
street in Northamptonshire, it is believed that
one of the contiguous houses will be speedily
burned down. Some credulous people think
that it changes sex annually. No animal was
dearer to witchcraft. and it frequently helped
as familiar to hapless beldames. Many a
good story is told in Scotland of hawkins"
turning into old women and witches; of n
particularly fleet hare being pursued by grey
hounds intoa cottage, but, ON the huntsman
entering, nothing being found but an old wo-
man painting hard on her bed or in her elbow
chair: and the like. These "witch-hares, "
it is believed both in Scotland and Ireland,
can only be shot with piece of silver, a
crooked sixpenny bit being in great request
for the purpose. -Beigrarid.

The LAST OF THE KEELY Moron. The
Philadelphia Times sums up, in a few words,
the final winding up of the affairs of that
most audacious humbug the "Keely motor"
The inventor, so called, claimed that he could
develop power in connection with a small
keg of water that would drive large sized
steamship across the Atlantic at cost of a
few cents day, and that all our methods of
river and land locomotion were to be changed
by his wonderful discovery Thousands of
persons believed his extravagant assertions,
and, ''the fools are not all dead, many
took stock in the company formed for its de-
yelopment of course with a total loss of their
investments. Now that the final collapse has
come, the facts elected are that the liabilities
of the concern are less than $500 but $780,
900 of the money of the stockholders has
been subscribed and paid out for useless ma
chinery, and over million and n half has
changed hands in the rise and fall of its
stocks. There We're 20, 600 shares of par
value af 800 each issued. These sold at first
for 500 per share, but the scheme was so skill
fully manipulated that they frequently chang
ed hands at $500 per share. Now they are
without value, aud could not be sold for a
cent, even if offered in lots to suit customers
of small means.

II springs from the earth--it is dreadful and dire.

Wintry sky,
See the spark
Upward fly;
See il grow
In its frame
See it glow
Into flame!
See it burning and blazing;
See II spring into life
with vgor Amazing
How It longs for the strife
Hear the noise and the rattle
How 1t swell, how II grows,
Like the crash of battle,
Like TIE clash of the foes!
See it rushing and rising and roaring,
See 1t trying to touch a tall star:
1t seems in the sky TO be soaring
Like flag Of fierce flame from afar.
See 1t turning and burning and brayng-
see 1t streaming and cleaning and red!
All! the smoke in the air now is waving
Like wnding-sheet Of dull lead.
Hear it laugh with wild glee at ,ach futile endeavor
To queuch or to que its eIuhcraut force:
II is flaming. and free aud fautastic forever;
II delights and e1uls with no pang Of remorsc;
With M pain, but with passion-mnd passion--it
with its pennon Of scarlet. the bloodiest hue;
with its cleaning streams aud its rearing rivers,
1t dares to do all things that fame dares to do.
How it darts, how it dances and dashes
As though II had taken for aim
To reduce all the world into ashes
And to fling all the stars into flame!
1t is glitterng and glowing and garug-
And raging 1t rings its own knell;
1t is showing its wonderful daring
It is turning the sky into he'll!
How it lazily fingers
With its swell and its fall;
With its fiery fingers
Werdly weaving pail;
With its horrible hisses,
Like the wind In a storm;
with its blistering kisses
On face and ON form!
OF its flashes
Bereft
Only ashes
Are left
Till its cries
Tell its doom
And it dies
In the gloom.

PROGRESS IN HARD TIMES. s.-Notwithstand-
ing the times, it is doubtful if the country
ever made greater or more rapid progress in
substantial wealth than during the past seven
years From comparison of the statistics
of the census of 1870 with those furnished by
the Bureau of Agriculture for 1877, it ap-
pears that there were 1000. 600 more acres
of land under cultivation last year than in
1870, an increase of 81 per cent. The per-
centage of increase in the amount of corn
produced was 22t of wheat, - of rye, ~;
of barley, 35 in tons of hay, 81 and in
pounds of tobacco, 81 per cent. The live
stock over the aggregate of 1870 was, horses,
4 per cent mules, Is cows, 2G; oxen and
other cattle, %; sheep, 25l swine, 2s per
cent. The aggregate increase in the number
of live animals amounted TO about 25,O00, 900
head The excess of the grain crop of 1877
over that of 1870 was nearly $50, 900, 900 bush
els. Our exports for the year ending June

Az ADRoIT CoURTIER.- Duke of Gram
mont was the most witty eourtier of his day
He entered one day the closet of the Cardinal
Mazarin without being announced. His En-
inence was amusing himself by jumping
against the the wall, To surprise Prime
Minister in so boyish an occupation was dan
gerous. A less skillful eourtier might have
stammered excuses and retired. But the
Duke entered briskly and cried, "I'll bet you
100 crowns that jump higher than your En-.
inence." And the Duke and the Cardinal
began to jump for their lives. Grammont
took care to jump few inches lower down
than the Cardinal and six months afterward
