The Ancient Village Choir.

An English writer, commenting on
the changes in church fashions, sketches
the ancient village choir, which once de-
lighted the simple rustics.
The ancient village choir, with its
flutes and its fiddles, has been swept
away. Its pretensiOns were no doubt
greater than its powers.
The principal soprano had figured in
front of the gallery for period of nearly
half century; and her performance
resembled nothing so much as that of a
hen when informing the world that she
has just added a fresh egg to her store.
there was nothing like leather, shouted
to such a degree that, in summer time,
when the doors were open, he could be
distinctly heard on the top of the op-
posite hill.
1t is not easy to describe the horror of
an Italian musician who, having been
detained in the neighborhood by a coach
accident, and received at the rectory,
attended the church one Sunday morn
ing, and was subjected to the usual dis
play.
"The wedding guest, he beat his breast,
For he heard the loud bassoon.''
"You must find Handel difficult"
some one once ventured to remark to
the leader of the band, when some
chorus from the "Messiah" was in pre-
paratiOn.
"Well, zur," was the reply, che may
be 70; but then, you zee, us alters un, y
and indeed, it was sometimes difficult to
recognize the creation of the great
maestro which figured by way of anthem.

Thackeray and the Bowery Boy.

The New York Times laments the dis
appearance of that amusing and not
particularly wicked product, g The
Bowery Boy" and repeat an oft-told tale
which seems to lose nothing by age
repetition. Twenty-Five years ago,
Thackeray, being desirous to see a
6: Bowery Boy" went with friend to
the haunts of that peculiar creature to
look for one. Very soon his companion
pointed out to him genuine specimen
standing against lamp-post on the cor
ner of a street, red-shirted, black-trous-
cred, soap-locked, shiny-hatted, with
cigar in mouth elevated at an angle of
forty-five degrees. After contemplating
him for few moments Thackeray
wanted to hear him talk, and concluded
to ask him the way to some part of the
city, said politely: "My friend, | should
like to go'' to such and such place.
Well" replied the Bowery Boy, in his
peculiar and quiet inexpressible tone,
and without moving any thing except his
lips, as he looked up lazily at the tall,
gray-haired novelist "well, sonny, you
can go if you don't stay too long"
Thackeray was quite satisfied. The
Times adds that the Bowery Boys sue
cessor has more of his vices and none Of
his virtues. He is not an American pro-
duct, but merely one of the dangerous
classes of Europe transferred to the free.

To Whom it May Concern.

There is no use in putting up the
motto "God bless our home," if the
father is a rough old bear, and the spirit
of discourtesy and rudeness is taught by
the parents to the children, and by the
older to the younger. There is no use in
putting up the motto THE Lord will
provide" while the father is shiftless,
the mother is shiftless, the boys refuse to
work, and the girls busy themselves over
gewgaws and finery. There is no use in
putting up the motto The Greatest of
these is Charity" while the tongue of the
back-biter wags in the family and silly
gossip is dispensed at the tea-table.
There is no use of placing up conspic-
uously the motto "The liberal man de-
viseth liberal things" while the money
chinks in the pockets of the head of the
household, groaning to get out and see
the light of day, and there are dollars
and dimes for wines and tobacco and
other luxuries, but positively not one
cent for the church. In how many
homes are these mOttoes standing-let
us say hanging sarcasms, which serve
only to point jest and adorn satire !
The beauty of quiet lives, of truthful,
hopeful, free-handed, free-hearted, char
liable lives, is one of surprising lowell
ness, and those lives shed their own in
comparable fragrance, and the world
knows where to find them. And they
shall remain fresh and fadeless when the
colors of the pigment and the worsted
and the floss have faded, and the very
frames have rotted away in their joints.
