A singing feast-a feast Of music, In very
truth-for three exquisite days held every
heart. Days to be always remembered, for
who can ever forget the 'inarticulate, un-
fathomable speech" OF the grand orchestral
chords, that bore aloft the chorus OF nut
titudinous voices, leading us, as Carlyle
hath it, ito the very edge OF the infinite,
and letting us, for q moment, gaze into It's
dazzling mysteries"
No broader or more liberal means can be
used to crafty and cultivate the musical
taste of the great mass OF people, and when,
in the sweet May-time of the year. singing
feast responds to singing'feast throughout
the nation, no purer or grander public ova-
ton can be offered to God and the season

Nor were we without the dark vein of lit

of a lady who, on opening her trunk, founc
oozing over its snowy contents an lnky
food of shoe-polish, the bottle having been
carelessly left uncoiked and thoughtlessly
thrust into an upper box. Now. wouldn't
you have shed your tears over that? But
who could resist the consoling influence OF
those gentle hearts and sympathetic tones,
and above all the willing hands that helped
