Humors of Congregations; Singing.
TBradford Obseryer

bradford Observer
Years ago some of the incidents arising
out of the slovenly and ignorant manner in
which the congregational singing" was man
aged was so ludicrous that it was impossible
to resist laughing. 1 remember being asked
one fine Sunday morning TO assist at a village
Sunday-school The superintendent was
gardener, and the way in which he read out
one of DR.. Watts "Divine and moral songs"
for the children to sing was very droll-the
separation of ''verses" of four lines into
couplets of two, without reference to the con-
text making the greatest possible nonsense
of some. One occurs to me now, which made
me smile aloud. Fancy the following read
gravely, as though it were a complete SEN
tence:
Birds in their little nests agree
And tits q shameful sight
But on the same day, when we attended the
service in the chapel, it was still worse. The
old gardener having TO read out the lines:
God is his own interpreter,
And He will make il plain.
read the fret line:
God is his own intrumpeterl
Sometimes even in the established church.
the ignorance of the "clerk" gave rise to am
using contretemps. / remember an old man
who was clerk at st. Marys at Leicester, 40
years ago, who always boggled at one word
in favorite hymn of the vicar. The hymn
was the well-known one
We've no abiding city here
and one of the verses commences thus:
We've no abiding city here,
This may distress the worldling's mind.
That word wording was indeed a pons
asinorum for the poor old clerk, and the con-
gregstion we're all in a litter when he came
to it. This ma-ay distress the wur-rul-wur-
ruld-wur-ruldin' moind," was generally
what he made of it, and the organist the
clever Mrs. Wood, always played the organ
its very loudest at that line, to drown the
tittering of the congregation. The great
est fascoes, however, arose from the selections
of inappropriate tunes. One in which the
words "And bow before the throne" were
rendered thus:
Aud bow-wow-wow, wow-wow-wow- wov-vow-wow
And bow-wow-wow before the throne.
have been looking through some letters
lately, and am able now TO give few more
specimens There is hymn--I forget in
what collection in which the line with
Thy benediction SEAL occurs. have mem

Violet.

Violet delicate, sweet,
Down in the deep of the wood,
Hid in thy still retreat,
Far from the sound Of the street,
Man and his merciless mood
Safe from the storm and the heat,
Breathing Of beauty and good
Fragrantly, under thy hood,
Violet.
Beautiful maid discreet.
Where is the mate that is meet,
Meet for thee strive he could
Yet viii kneel at thy feet,
Fearing another one should,

How Cheap One Feels.
IAylophonics.l

If you would like TO know how other
people act under the circumstances, take
silver half-dollar, bore a hole through it
and nail it fast to the floor. Nine out of
every 10 will probably call your attention to
the fact that .'there is some money down
there;" the other one will wait till your
back is turned and then make grab at the
coin, and, upon finding it fastened, will pre-
tend he saw through the joke beforehand.

Sunday Life and Weekday Practice.

The patient preacher plods along
Through theologic dseps,
The while the deacon, bless his soul,
Bows down his head and sleeps.
And when the preacher takes a rest
From theologic matter,
The drowsy deacon rises up
And passes round the platter.
And when at length he back returns
From his collecting trip,
From out his vest Epon the plate
he lays poker chip.

in Cheshire, to the tune Of "Asron, "a" and
this is how the above line came in the mu-
sic
With Thy benny
With Thy benny
With Thy benediction seal
Another favorite tune in those days was called
"Job," which was made TO do duty for all
sorts of "long metre hymns. Two singular
specimens of its inappropriateness are APP
pended. The line in one was, "Stir up this
stupid heart to pray" and this was the way
it was sung
Stir up this stew
Stir up this stewpid heart, etc.
The other was-"And love Thee better than
before"-which was sung
And love Thee bet
And love Thee better than, etc.
There is tune-"Miles' Lane"-in which,
when sung to its own hymn, "Crown Him
Lord of all" the REPETITION of the words
'crown Him" has very fine effect. Un-
fortunately in the days 1 am speaking of the
people in charge ofthe singing thought more
of the music they had to sing than of the
words, and the following three examples show
how miles Lane" was made ludicrous. In
DR.. Watts collection the hymn 32 in the
second book concludes-"And see salvation
Nigh" "Miles' Lane" made it thus
And see sal-see ssl-see salvation nigh.
The hymn 104, first book, same collection,
has the lines
We would dehle our hearts no more,
No more pullute our hands.
The last line being sung to miles Lane,
became
No more poll-more poll-more pollute our hands.
The one hundred and twenty sixth hymn
second book of DR.. Watts, has
Gilds the whole scene with brighter rays,
And more exalts our joys.
"Miles' Lane" translated the final line
into
And more eggs-more eggs-more exslt our joys.
There is another tune called "Boyce," of
which will give example from No. IL
hymn, in DR.. Raffle's Liverpool collection,
and the line is "And learn to kiss the rod"
"Boyce" makes this
And learn to kiss
And learn to kiss
And learn to kiss the rod.

which are inseparable from the memory of

ceremony of the confirmation of her grand

A Down Town MERCHANT having passed
several scepless nights disturbed by the
agonlcs and cries Of suffering child, and
becoming convinced that Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup was just the article needed,
procured supply for the chid. On reach
ing home and acquainting his wife with
what he had done, she refused to have it
administered to the child, as she was
strongly in favor of homeopathy. That
night the child passed in suffering, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home
the following day, the father found the baby
still worse; and while contemplating AT

DEMONSTRATING is one OF
the noblest occupations which
engage the active powers OF
man. It's the support OF all
others and should rank first in
point of dignity. OF scientific
farming our state has much 10
learn before the cultivator of
the soil can reap the full reward
of his eXertions. Agriculture is
the fundamental condition of
civilization as its success is the
measure of all other industry.
The very rudest agriculture has
always produced much more
than is sufficient for the laborer,
and those dependant upon him.
In farming all is variety and
change. Intelligent farming
is adapting methods to condi-
ton and circumstances, but
there are fixed principles that
apply alike to all conditions,
and the man who thoroughly
masters these will be very likely
to become a successful master
in practice.

The HoRsE.-Farmers do not
pay the attention and take the
care of their horses that they
should. The farm horse is ir-
regularly fed, while all regular
ity in system in his cleaning
and feeding is neglected. Many
farmers do not think there is
reason for any special care of
their horses. Is it not true that
after working all day, farm hors-
es are not cleaned at night; but
are put up with perspiration
and dust to dry on them? A
good cleaning is half a rest, and
yet when they arc brought out
in the morning, they are cover
ed with the accumulated filth of
the night still clinging to them.
Very often too, farm horses are
irregularly fed and indiscreetly
watered.
To keep a horse in good work
ing condition he should be fed
regularly, whether at work or
idle in the stable. He.will last
much longer if, when at work,
he is heavily fed, and when idle
not neglected. A horse on the
farm should always be cleaned
at least once a day, and when
hard at work both night and
morning. Ifnot at work a good
grooming once day would be
sufficient, and when idle good
hay might be substituted for
grain at the MONDAY meal, but
when at work grain should be
given, as he would obtain more
nutrition in half an hour from
grain than in many hours from
hay.
