Another Musical Prodigy.

A small and pretty boy. who is re-
markable in two directions, is Philip
Spooner, the third son and Youngest
child of Senator Spooner His talent
for music Is almost that of genius.
Though he does not know one note
from another, he will carry the music
of an opera. after hearing the perform
ance, right along with his mothers
accompaniment on the piano. His
voice is like girls. and sweet and
clear as the notes of a bird. The boy
is never so happy as when permitted to
go TO an operate performances, and his
criticisms are SO unerring rs to be
startling in the advanced ideas ex-
pressed by child. He cares nothing
for the theater, but Graves music, and.
If deprived of it, he would be very
unhappy child. He never touches the
piano himself and is not inclined to
instrumental music, though his two
brothers raise the roof with banjo
playing. But he will sit by his mother
for an hour or two, and pour out his
beautiful voice in high, pure notes,

The language of the Bible grows
more harmoniously luminous with the
growing light. when its words are read

he was born Canon HicSfcotf.
