MARY AIMS TURN.

A lady, attending a small church in rural dis
trict tells amusing story Of the manner in which
the musical services were conducted. The music
attempted by the choir was of ford and preten-
tous character, and altogether beyond the abilities
of the ambitious singers.
The relations between the pastor and the con-
gregation was evidently of the simplest and most
unaffected nature In one of their selections there
occurred long and snowy soprano solo, in cheap
imitation of the Italian STYLE The young woman
who attempted it sang gayly on till the clergyman
evidently thought she had enjoyed her fair share
of attention and glory. Accordingly he raised his
hand as signal, and the music ceased.
''Let that young woman with the red feather
have done singin', and let Mary Ann GUILTY sing
the rest 1t is Mary AIMS turn now."-[Har

was but eleven years of age, made him ''little

affairs, and looked afer the comfort of his invalid
mother. AS soon as school had closed for the
noon recess, he rushed away from the frolicsome
boys and hurried home to arrange for his moth
er's daily ride.
During school vacation he was guest in a
country house, where the host, fascinating gen.
tleman of culture, lived gay, wild life. Young
Robert, who had been trained to self control and
self-denial, was shocked. He made no comment
on what he saw, but he refused to join in the
revels.
The unspoken rebuke brought to his bedside,
the night before his departure, the penitent host.
The youths abstinence had shamed him, and he,
a man of the world came to confess to his youth
full guest sorrow for the wild life he was leading
Earnestly he warned him to beware of acquiring
drinking habits and urged him to persist in his
temperate course of life. On leaving him. the
host promised him he would try to reform.

A poorly dressed little girl was looking in at a
shop window filed with dolls. These dolls were
all dressed in silk except one which was in calico
A man stopped beside the girl and noticing her
rapt expression as she looked longingly at the
treasures within, said:
'My little GIRL which doll would you like best

''Would you rather have that one than those
