"A woman says, very few men have the
slightest idea how to hold baby. Aud we
don't suppose one in hundred has the

Friday evening, number Of ladies and
gentlemen began singing song, the effect
of which will not soon be forgotten. II

dience was filing out when from behind the
curtain rose the jarring strains Of the wei
known song of the "farmer's dog" We dc
not blame all who helped as much as we dc
one of the managers who was among the
party. Mrs. s., a lady of fine culture and

in mild but firm language. Advice--bettel
sing more IN church and less at the enter
tainments, for then the effect will not be Sc
demoralizing.
