Many OF our clergymen in nam

divine service say, Let US praise
God in singing such a hymn but
is it not trne that the singing as
rendered in some Of our churches,
and as regarded by a considera-
BILE proportion of the congrega-
ton, is not praise service offered
to the great Giver of all good, but
rather an artistic performance to
be approved, though utterly desti-
tute of devout feeling or real wor-
ship, if it accords with what is
called musical taste, and to be
condemned, however sincere and
heartfelt, if not satisfactory to the
critical ear of the musician We
would by no means decry good
music, but we believe a sad mis-
take is made when devoutness and
praise are less considered than
harmony; when irreligious per-
sons are. secured IT, conduct this

A LADY's Toast TO THE MEN.
At a literary meeting Mrs
Duniway toasted lne men as
follows:
God bless 'em. We halve their
joys, double their sorrows, treble
their expenses, quadruple toeir
cares, excite their affections, con-
troll their property and out
maneuver them in everything.
This would Ge a dreary world
without men. In fact, may say,
without 'em it would not be much
Of a world anyhow. We love 'em,
and the precious fellows don't
know it. As husbands, they are
always convenient, though not
always on hand. As beaux they
are by no means matchless. They
are most agreeable visitors; they
are handy at state fairs and indis.
pensable at oyster saloons. They
are splendid escorts for some other
fellows wife or sister, and as
friends they are better than wo.
men. AS our fathers they are IN
expressibly grand. A man may
be a failure in business, a wreck
in constitution, not enough to
boast Of as a beauty, nothing as
a legislator for woman's rights,
and even not very brilliant as
member of the press, but if he is
father we overlook his short
comings, and cover his peccadillos
with the diVixe mantle of charity.
Then, as our husbands, how we
long to parade them as paragous.

Wen cry for them,

LETTER FROM COLORADO.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
LEADv1LLE, COL, August II, 1882.
The shortest route from Denver to
Leadville il by the Denver & South
Park parroR guage railroad though
the route via Cannon City and
the Arkansas Canon is probably
the most picturesque. The ride over
the mountains by the former route is
certainly as exbilarating as could be
wished. A few miles from Denver
the railroad strikes into the canon of
the Platte, which it follows up
through narrow gorge between the
mountains for about fifty miles, gain
ing an altitude at the summit of TO-.
Gao feet, or about 5000 feet above
Denver. The scenery through this
canon is grand beyond description.
At no place is it'much more than a
stones throw in width, and most of
the way the railroad bed has been ex,
cavated out of the solid rock. As We
ascended the mountain cool breezes
swept through the canon as through
funnel; yet in spite of this little dis
comfort passengers cannot resist the
temptation to ride on the platform of
the cars in order to enjoy the grand
and impressive scenery. On one side
of the track the Platte River, here
wild mountain stream, dashes down
through the canon over au almost
uDbroken succession of rapids, and
cataracts. Here and there a deep
pool of clear water was provokingly
suggestive of trout fishing, and the
disciples of Isaac Walton will iuvol-
unfairly divide their attention be-
tween these tempting spots and the
rocks that rose hundreds of feet on
either side, worn by the river into all
sorts of fantastic shapes, and some
times appearing almost to close over
the river and railroad.
1t is not an easy task to adequately
describe this the most wonderful of
all mining towns. There is nothing
like it in Colorado, or anywhere else,
and with all that has been written
concerning it only those who have
been here to see for themselves have
very correct idea of the place
Though the rapidity Of its growth is
not such as it was three aud four
years ago, wheL the Leadviile excite
Iuent swept the entire land, yet it is
still a wonder, growing and constant
y changing. 1t has from the first
been like a kaleidoscope in the sud.
denuess of its Transformations, though
its colors were "f the simplest kind,
aud of the most sombre, too. In the
early days entire streets were opened
up, built upon and settled within
week and even now stores, houses,
log-eabins, aud hotels spring up sud-e
dculy, side by side. There is an
opera house constructed out of rough
pine boards, with its dress circle and
gallery, and looking for all the world
like an unfinished livery stable. There
are also variety theatres where the il
legitimate drama fourishes to the de.
light of sturdy miners, Two years
ago there was but one church and one
school house here and the principal
hotel.was a two story frame building
with neat gables and an imitation
maDsard roof. The Office of this
hostelry is about six feet wide by
sixteen long, and was evidently not
pIauued for the accommodation Of loaf

Mr.. Haroldson, briskly tying a

But you're not engaged said
Rachel half:pleased, balf-frighten-

young man. Give NE the oil and

provide for that salad of yours
And if ever a pair of cooks
spent delightful unconventional
sort. of morning in the kitchen
this pair did.
They laughed, they made inno-
cent jokes, they behaved like two
school children.
and at l2st when Rachel had
r"l out into the garden to gather
some water crosses to deck the
newly-roasted fowls, Mr.. Harold
son heard the voice Of Miss Bell
Calhoun calling down the stair,
way ;...
Rachel Rachel you may serve
the dinner. Every one is here
but that tiresome Haroldson
= sAnd he's here, too,' calmly re-
sponded that gentleman, who was
washing his hands at the pump.
What cried Bell, shrilly.
The cook and butler are ex-
pected to take their meals in the
Kitchen said Mr.. Haro!dson,
with commendable gravity. And
I've no objection whatever to that
arrangement
And nothing could induce Har-
old Horoldson to come up. to the
dining-room, He and Rachel to-
gether ate their picnicing sort of
repast and washed the dishes
although the matter somewhat
lost it's spice when the Misses
Calhoun and their company all
adjourned en- masse to the kitch-
On and persisted in joining their
ranks.
And when the purple sunset
came dreamily down over the dark
cedars that overhung the Draw
ling stream and the gay guests
had all departed, Alice and Bell
Calhoun gazed obviously at each
other.

ing p said Bell.
He has actually gone home

into angry tears.

Bell.
