constant source OF amazement TO me
how some people with voice enough
to discharge all their duties In the
world, when they come into the house
Of God have no voice to discharge
their duty Of singing. / really be-
lieve that If all our churches would
rise up and sing as they ought to sing,

A Mistaken Whale.

A letter from Adelaide, Australia,
to the Pail Mall Gazette says that
July II, while Capt. Hepwornh, X.
n. R., OF the steamship Port AIDE
laide, was taking his sights, he mo-
ticed long sperm whale alongside
so close that his spouting wetted the
deck. The creature had evidently
lost his school" and mistaken the
ship for one of it's own species. He
remained with it for tour days and
nights, and Travelled 800 nautical or
,O25 statute miles without a rest,
and, as far as one could gather, with
out food. He was never more than
seventy yards away, and for the
most part close against the ship, un.
der her quarter, where the draught
made swimming easier for him. The
length of the animal was about forty
seven feet. The first day he was
very lively, diving frequently beneath
the ships bottom, on one occasion
scratching himself severely. Aitel
that he kept close alongside like 9
tired Ne wfoundland dog.

The young lady to whom the &C.

For the Belfords had been wealthy
people when, a few years ago, they
built Wildview for country resi-

The collapse of a great New York

like fretting in the home, Is like SOW

The way TO have a discordant, dis.
