AN ORGAN-LOFT SKETCH.

The music comtnittee of the Diggle-
avenue Unitarian Church resigned out
of hand and in high dudgeon. Their
reasons were many, various and well
grounded, the principal being that the
pulpit, which knew nothing more Of
music than u COW, was rather too much
given debating and rather too sarcas-
tic, both in and out of Il corner, when
things did not run smoothly up in the
vicinity OF the organ-lott.
The bulk of their work had been
done, of course, ut the opening of the
musical year, when new engagements
had been made for that year; but they
found considerable patching up to do
before the machinery had been run q
quarter; for the pulpit had been over
tree at criticising the things in which
it had been over-ruled by the majority,
in which connection it might be well to
mention that it had the voice of mem
bership, though contrary to the general
rule of such matters; for the pulpit in
the great majority of cases does not
feel called upon, nor is 1t often called
upon to act a3 member of a church
music committee.
The pulpit of the Diggle-avenue
Church was a high strung, arbitrary
sort Of pulpit on the whole, yet very
capable in the gospel way. Its selec-
ton and call had been mainly on the
grounds of its being great builder-up;
an energetic worker at filling pews and
keeping them full; but when it cir
culated itself among the very sensi-
tive musical elements up in the vicini-
ty Of the organ loft, and INDUCED in
unkind sarcasms about something of
which it was claimed it knew nothing,
these elements WINGED from hurt pride
common to such things.
The first orgauist on trial pounded in
his registers with n slam, kicked his
pedals spitefully for the last time and
left the bench 10 dive down stairs into
the street in towering passion be-
cause the pulpit had intimated to him
at rehearsal Gan occasion which we'll
regulated pulpits seldom attend), that

THE VALE OF GOLD.

lThey tell of wonderful valley in tn
Sierra Madre, which glistens with gold an,
Is resplendent with bright waters and beau
tiiul flowers. Connected with IL are man,
fascinating legends Of Indian origin, tn,
prettlest OF which Is the belief by the NATIVES
that Montezuma will some day return ant
Tree them from the dominion of the descend
ants of the Conquesodors
Far to the south and west there lies,
Away in the sunset land,
Where the weird Sierra lifts to the skies
The wealth of her jewcled hand
There lies deep hid in the mountain range,
As old as the world is old,
A fabulous valley dim and strange,
That is known as the Vale of Gold.
There's golden groi, and golden ledge,
And blooms of gold and golden bees
Gold in the grass and the signing scdge,
And gold in the orange trees
There's gold in the stars and gold IN Tn,
stream,
And gold in the skin of the snake
Gold in the moon when the drcamers dream
And gold in the morn when they wake
And a seer hath writ ON golden stone,
In golden time Of the past,
How the Montezumas will mount theil
throne,
Again in the valley vast
And the fires Of Aztec priests will burn
Once more on the affairs cold,
And the gods of the vanquishcd race return,
To reign in the Vale Of Gold.
But the valley of gold is hard TO find,
No matter what way we trend
Its splondors flee the pursuing mind,
Like pearls at the rainbow's end
Or the vanishing Graal that none may see,
But the pure in heart, alone;
We close the quest Mt the cypress tree,
That shadows the cold grave stone
