Josh Billings Advice to a New
Choir Singer,

Dear Miss. This is an important epoch
into your life. The lst thing to make a
good choir singer is to giggle little.
Put up your hair in Girl papers every Fri.
day night sOze to have it in good shape
Sunday morning. If your daddy is rich
you can buy some store hair. If he is very
rich buy some more and build it high up
onto your head then get a high-priced
bonnet that runs up very high, at the high
part OF it, and then git the milliner to plant
some high-grown artifishels onto the highest
part OF it. This will help you sing, as
sophrano is the highest part.
When the tune Is give out, don't pay
attention to; and then giggle. Giggle is a
good cell
Whisper to the girl next to you that En-
Jones, which sets on the I'd sect from the
front on the left.hand side, has had her
bunnt with the same color exact she had
last year, and then put your book to your
face and gigglc.
Object to every tune unless there is a
solow into 1t for the sophrano. Golf and
ham good eel before you begin to sing.
When you sing a solow shake the arti-
fishels off your bunnit, and when you come
to high tone brace yourself back little,
twist your head to one side and open the
widest OH that side, shet the eye Jest a
triphle and then put in for dear life.
When the preacher gifts under he'd way
with his preachin, writ a note onto the
blank leaf into the fourth part of your note
book. That's what the blank leaf was
lnade for. Git sumbody to pass the note tc
sumhody else, and you watch them while
they read it, and then giggle.
If anybody talks or laffs in the congrega
! ton and the preacher takes note of it
that's good chants for you to giggle, ano
you ought to giggle a great eel. The
preacher darsen't say anything to you be
cause you are in the quire, and he can't rur
meetin' house at both ends without {
quire. If you had bow before you wen
into the quire, give him the mitten-you
ought to have sumbody better.
Don't forget to giggle.

Barbarism Against Barbarism.

The window which Peter the Great built
on the Neva, in order that he might look
out and see what was happening on the
Continent, seems to have been barred up.
The Imperial Council Chamber in the
Capital now has an Eastern instead Of a
Western exposure. The experience Of
Modern Europe teaches that kings and
dynasties are hedged in, but not protected,
by repression and tyranny, and that in
periods Of popular restlessness and disCon-
tent it is more prudent to redress the
grievances of the masses than to subject
them to additional restraints. The Gar
himself acted upon this principle durir G
the opening years of his reign. His
Liberalism was attested by the abolition Of
serfdom, radical changes in land tenure,
jury acts, and many other beneficent re-
forms. Administrative abuses, it is true,
were allowed to remain public opinion
was not given vent in a free press tho
odious police system was retained; and
there was no immunity from arbitrary
arrest. Much was left undonP, and much
that was only half done; but even with
these reservations no monarch ever at
temyted to do as much for his subjects as
the unfortunate Liberator, who is now
afraid to leave his country palace lest be
be shot down like cur. lie ends where
his ancestors have begun as we'll as ended

were Europeans, and has been disappointed
with the results of the great reforms which

force OF the Mongols. What Poland wa;

every centre of population is under marital
law; every householder in the Capital i,
compelled to hire q spy and to remain in

repeated under the breath that pathetic
| proverb which has been handed down from
generation to generation " Heaven is high
and the Car is far off,
But if this be the coarse and brutal DIES
| potism of Asia, assassination is only another
form Of barbarism-the barbarism of Me
dioval Europe. One force is pitted agains
the other, and each is recoil from civiliza
ton to barbarism. The Gar is blind, ant
| the Nihlist has gone mad. One should
have given the people more liberty, anC
the other should not have resorted to tn,

like sinners, must work out their salvation

single generation, was required for the con
summation OF the reforms undertaken
early in the present reign. Instead o
giving the Nation time to breathe, tn
Gar has lost faith in Liberalism an,
plunged the Nation into the abyss of de:
potism. On the other hand, revolutionist
must have creative as we'll rs destructiv
instincts, and must regulate their work b

people down into the bottomless pit q

ness-but it has no conscience.-N Y. Ir

the second case, then he had abandoned
his lawful and faithful wife, who had
suffered with him and for him, and who
was in personal appearance his peer.
So much for Mr.. Lee and the "press.

trio? We have just read of Mr.. Butchers
elopement with q bad acOmon, having left his
wife and six children behind him, and so
another chief of the pressgang has gone
where the wood hine twineth.n
In the name of humanity, is it not about
time for us to call halt in this matter of
the clIurch's taking hold Of this band Of
tramps and adventurers? Should not the
church work her own methods, and if she
goes slower, 20 surer. Is it not high time
for the preacher of the gospel to resist the
''preSs.gang," and stand between the pulpit
and the religious tramp?
From our earliest recollection to the
present hour, we can call up cases in which
the church has surrendered to the demands
OF the ''press gang, and been disgraced by
its leaders.

The South's Mistake.

The causes which have brought about
this tide of emigration from the South are
the same which have hitherto shut out all
emigration to the South. OF the vast
number Of foreigners who have landed on
our shores only an insignificant fraction
ever branched off from the stream that
flowed steadily to the North and West
There was everything in the natural con.
ditions of the South to invite settlers from
the North and from abroad; but every en-.
terpriSing laborer and mechanic and small
capitalist who was seeking peaceful home
for himself and for his children, was warned
away by the social tyranny of one sort or
another which prevailed in the old region
OF slavery. This lack of reverence for law
and disregard of personal and political
rights which have hitherto operated mega.
lively to check and turn aside the natural
inHowing of capital, enterprise and produc-
tive labor, are now working more positive
disaster by driving out the only body of
labor which can be depended on to produce
the great agricultural staples which consti-
tute tho sole wealth Of these States.
This crowning loss, which threatens the
actual desolation Of the South, is the
natural punishment visited upon that
section for its habits of violence, and like
all natural punishment it is remedial in its
tendency. 1t is plain that the exodus
and the material losses which it threatens
have already compelled serious reflection
on the part OF the more prudent class OF
southern whites. and it will do vet more.
When these simple children Of toll turned
| trustfully Northward their sole desire was
to find home where life and property and
political privileges would at last be safe
| But they will accomplish something fol
their oppressors as well as for themselves
| They will teach them lesson which il
spite of repeated warnings they have beer
slow to learn and which statues and troop,
have been powerless to enforce. When
community begins to realize that injustice
doesn't pay, there is hope of reformation
Bulldozing will be be an unpopular amuse
ment as soon as the South is made to fee
that it is the direct cause of shrunker
assets and diminished political power.

When night her sable curtain draws
And ShrOudS the world in gloom.
And sparkling bright with brilliant light
Is many joyous room.
Then OFT beneath the moons pale rays,
Or mid the raging Storm
In summers heat i'll winters seet
Is seen the widow form.
She wanders where the tall old trees
Stand in the silent Park
Where towers high point to the sky
And cast their shadows dark.
There night by night with anxious look
Her eyes their vigls keep.
When many head, composed in bed.
Is wrapt III balmy sleep.
To her the dark and gloomy hour
OF midnight has no dread
She knOweth not her lonely lot
While waiting for the dead
And careless there the watchmen pass
The form so neatly dressed
For well they know the tale of woe
That lies within her breast.
And oft they tell her history DER,
Since by her lovers side
She changed her name when she became
printers loving bride.
And how. when summer decked the Park,
And did earths joys reveal
So gay and fair she fingered there
And brought his evening meal.

And every eve she came to leave

Thus summer went and summer came
And decked the earth again.
When by the Park one evening dark

To come again no moro.
Though years have gone she cannot think

But where they met She cOmeth yet

She seeks him where those tall old trees
Their spectral shadows leave.

The Adventist Murderers.

When the little child who was murdered
by Freeman, the Adventist, in Pocasset,
Mass, was buried on Sunday week, Alden

shouted, "to defend the motive of my

Then followed horrid scene over the
open coffin. Angry voices cried out,
" Choke him - and Bury him in the open

up around the man, who was clamoring
loudly to be heard, when the Rev. Mr..

of respect to the cause of Christ and to the
innocent dead, desist. Davis turned ex-

How A TOAD UNDREsSEs.-A gentleman
sends to an agricultural paper an amusing
description of " low a Toad Takes Off His
Coat and Pants" lie says he has seen one
DO it, and a friend has seen another do the
same way. His account is:
About the middle of July | found
toad on a hill of melons, and not wanting
him to leave, hoed around him. lie ap.
peared sluggish and not inclined to move.
Presently | observed him pressing his
elbows against his sides and rubbing
downward. 1t appeared so singular that |
watched to see what he was up to. After a
few smart rubs his skin began to burst open
straight along his back. Now, said |, old
fellow, you have done it; but he appeared
to be unconcPrned, and kept on rubbing
until he had worked all his skin into folds
on his sides and hips; then, grasping one
hind leg with both his hands, he hauled off
one leg of his pants the same as anybody
would, then stripped the other hind leg in
the same way. He then took his cast-off
cuticle forward between his fore legs into
his mouth and swallowed it /; then by raising
and lowering his head, swallowing as his
head came down, he stripped off the skin
underneath until it came to his forelegs,
and then grasping one of these with the op,
posite hand, by considerable pulling,
stripped off the skin changing hands, he
| stripped the other, and by slight motion
of the head, and all the while swallowing
he drew it from the neck and swallowed
the whole. The operation seemed an agre
able one and occupied but short time"

Tennessee, but failed to do 80 on account of
the price asked. AS president of The

well pleased that on going back to Tennes-
