Don't> FOR 1893.

Don't call a man mean because he
keeps his expenditures inside OF his
receipts: he would be mean if he
didn't.
Better not tell your neighbor your
troubles unless YOU are willing to
listen to his.
Don't think that an unfortunate
man is any better oil because YOU pity
him, unless sou set Il price on your
pity and pay it over to him.
Don't condemn man too llarshly
for his first otfcnsc.
Don't print your virtues in capitals
and your vices in nonparcl.
Don't condemn a man because he
mispronOunccS your name, provided
he takes no liberty with your
character.
Don't form bad habits the first half
of your life, or it will take YOU the
whole second half to get rid of them.
Don't expect good habits to thrive
among bad ones any more than you
would expect bed of vegetables to
do its own wedding.
Don't envy the rich man his
dainty repast for the richer the food
the harder the digestion.
Better not put a dollar on the plate
on Sunday if you're only thinking
fifty cents.
Better not go into business for
yourself before you've learned how to
help others with theirs.
Don't lay carpet without con-
sulting your wife, for she sweeps it,
you don't Comfort.

but the question now is to what
extent the Law can be strengthened

IN this line Senator Newly has pre-
scnted a bill providing that injunc-
tions should hold good against sellers
at any point in the judicial district.
Al present the seller can be enjoined
only in the specific building.
The daily sessions of the house have
been very quiet, only two little Incl

The passage of the Federal Elections
bill by the House, with vote of 200 to
l01, shows the trend of Congress to rele-
gate all elections to State control.
Should the bill pass the Senate and be-
come law, there would be no Federal
supervision of the ballot for President,
Vice President and Members of Con-
gress, and the National government
would be powerless to protect itself from
frauds committed under State sanction.
Aside from the practical notification OF
the later amendments to the Constitu-
ton the proposal is the subject of grave
fears by many. No honest voter suffers
by Federal supervision and the fraudu-
lent voter should be thus controlled, OF
Republican govel nment may become a
failure.

A QUALIFICATION.

Mr.. EDIToR.-The report which ap-
peared in the BANNER of October 6, of a
sermon recently preached at the Second
Congregational church, was IN the main
accurate. A qualification, however,
should be appended to a statement there
found which otherwise would be mis-
leading. The Endeavor Society of the
Bushnell district is undenominational
and independent. 1t is nobly conducted
in connection with Sunday school and
the participants, with Others, sustain a
mid-week prayer meeting. The Society
of Pleasant Valley was inangurated by
members of the First church under
whose fostering care it still remains.
But the life of both of these movements
is due largely to the work done by the
Vermont Domestic Missionary Society,
through its lady missionaries. The in
tention of the allusion to the districts
was simply to show that the Second
church, officially and otherwise con-
nected with the Domestic Society, was
actively interested in the inception of
the work, in each instance, and is en-
deavoring to keep in close touch with
its progress.
Now that reference has been made to
this missionary society, the further sug-
gestion may not be untimely, that we as
a community take to heart what it is at
tempting to do. Its eye is constantly
upon districts which for various reasons
have been neglected. 1t often ignores
denominational lines aud=after a spirit
ual quickening in given1o ality, leaves
''hands OFF, that the people themselves
may derermine what form of organiza-
tion shall be or what the denominational
attachments. The special gratitude of
all this region is due to the Domestic
Society, and the readers of the BANNER
will bear reminding that there are al
ways open practical ways by which their
gratitude may be fitly expressed.

Senate did not adjourn, and Senator Al
len, who had been speaking during the
afternoon, continued until $50 yesterday
morning. continuous speech of IA
hours, 45 minutes Once in about half
an hour there would be roll call to en-
liven the monotony. Promptly at the
close of Senator Aliens speech, Senator
Martin took the floor and talked the bal
ance of the day. At 2.45 Pm. he cast a
chill over his auditors by saying that he
had now disposed of the preleminaries
and would address himself to the main
question. Notwithstanding it all the
Senate adjourned at 4.40 this morning,
This beats the repealers and vote can
not probably be forced on the question
of repeal Probably never before in the
history of the United States Congress
was there ever seen such an exhibition
of physical endurance as that shown by
Senator Allen.

Important Points to Observe In the Cultt.

Important Points to Observe In the cultl.
 vation of women's Voices.
 Nearly every lady possesses singing voice of some description, although many seem doubtful on this point, for one so frequently hears the remark, "I cannot sing" A writer in The Housewife, who assumes that any lady can sing if she will only take the trouble to master the details of the theory and practice of mu- sic, makes some hopeful suggestions, among which are the following:
 It will be easily understood that the art of singing can no more be learned from an article or treatise than the sister art of painting can be acquired hy the same means. for of all the musical ac- complishments there is none which finds such general appreciation as singing, no musical instrument having the power of appealing to the heart like the human voice, for in addition to the beautiful quality of the tones, which please the ear and touch the soul of the nearer, the words give to the music a much more definite application and meaning.
 Wome> possess three different kinds of voices-soprano, mezzo soprano and contralto-each voice containing three
 
 head registers-and every lady intend ing to become a singer should ascertain at the very commencement of her studies to which of these three her voice really belongs, as a mistake made in this re- spect often causes its impairment and subsequent ruin.
 The endless varieties of sound which we hear in the human voice are really all contained in the general terms quail ity. pitch, loudness and duration, and of course it is needless to say that the most important of these four terms (which are applicable both to singing and speaking) is quality. Many of our readers have doubtless noticed, even in untrained singers, a beautiful or taking" quality of tone in the voice, which is pleasing both to the singer and her hearers, and the preservation of this charming gift is of the utmost importance, as it cannot be attained, but can very easily be utter ly lost by careless or inefficient training. Therefore, at the outset, in selecting an instructor, avoid if possible faddists. as they generally sacrifice quality of tone to their particular fad" one of which may be brilliant execution of forid passages gained at the expense of quality, which necessarily forces the voice and produces loudness and shrillness of tone which is positively painful to listen to.
 It must be borne in mind that in sing ing no extraordinary exertion should be found necessary. The most charming effects are nearly always obtained by natural means.
 Distinct articulation Is quite as neCes- sary in singing as in speaking, for with out this rare accomplishment one may listen to a singer who is possibly a good executant and be in a state of Egyptian darkness as to what the song is about, and we must say that such performances amount almost To an insult to any audi ence. and it is much to be regretted that, in the study of singing, so little attention is paid to his most important point.

casions, however, he took part in th cabin entertainments of the passenge' giving them readings from some of las own works.
 stevenson the passenger said, lis at all times n striking figure. but as he stood twined about stanchion in the saloon of the Mariposa he was really picturesque. His long slender legs were incased in pair of tight fitting black trousers, held in place by a narrow red sash. A white flannel shirt. cut low in the neck. and short jacket completed his attire.
 The dark coat set off the ghastly pal Tor of face lighted by the flash of a pair of black eyes. It is an intellectual face, long and narrow. with a broad white brow, around which his damp brown hair hangs Tn wavy masses. Of whiskers he has none. but sports a ten der. dropping mustache and tiny goatee. His reading was given with a dramatic power that held the interest of the audience.
 There were times, however, when Mir. Stevenson's legs proved the greater attraction. This was when he planted his right foot above the kncecap of his left leg, hooking il in position with the heel. In this graceful posture he would read few moments and then switch of to the other leg. to the great amusement of the spectators. At no time during the reading did he have both feet on the deck at the same time"
