The. Anthem.

Cornhill Magazine: The rustic choir's
greatest show was always made in the
anthem, ia which some pumpkin had
generally Il solo to exhibit his dusty
voice" 1t was a splendid musical dis
play-of its kind. People came from
a long distance to hear it and felt so
satiated that they left without the SER
mon. No wonder Shakespeare made
Sir John Falstaff lose his voice with
"hallOoing and singing of anthems
To be sure he was guilty of an anachro-
niSm, for there were no anthems in the
fat knights time, but it may reason
ably be supposed that he had become
so impressed with this part of the SER
vice in his own Cay that he dropped
into the mood which even Homer is pri
vileged occasionally to enjoy.

Bill, Bill, Bill, give, give, give me, give

hanthem." Just after this fashion did
the old village choirs tear and toss
their anthem texts.

ciaIly, and state that it will be utterly
impossible for Mr. McFetridge to pay
the principal with the full interest call
ed for, at the rate fixed by the judg-
ment against him and us, and the suits
now pending:
Wherefore, unless the state, through
it's legislature, shall temper justice
with mercy by the reduction of inter-
est asked for in the pending bill, the
slreties on the bonds of Mr.. McF etridge
will be forced to pay large sum of
money to make good what he cannot
pay, and this to most of the sureties
and to the estates of those who are
deceased, will be a great hardship and
produce want and privation;

here, not one is in any way a politician,
all are, or were, business men. who
paid little or no attention to politics.
They were friends and associates Of
Mr.. McFet1fdge, whom they esteemed
and trusted, and who is still worthy Of
that trust and esteem.
That they are entirely innocent in the
matter Of the treasury suits is well es-
tablished by the testimony taken in ac-
tons against them.
It would seem that the state might
well be lenient III the matter of the
interest charged, since in reducing the
interest to 3 per cent, the state would
then be getting as high rate as it
would have received, and such interest
restored to the public treasury, without
depressing the innocent or impoverish-
ing those who had no part in the trans
actions with the past treasurers.
