CHOIR PRACTICE.

As / sit on a stump here in the woods among
the clean faced beeches
The trunks of the trees seem to me like the
pipes of mighty organ
Thrilling my soul with wave on wave of the
harmonies of the universal anthem,
The grand divine comic 81 am" chorus.
The red squirrel scolding in yonder hickory
tree,
The flock of blaokbirds chattering in council
overhead,
The monotonous crickets in the unseen mead
ow,
Even the silent ants travelling their narrow
highway with enormous burdens at my
ALL like choristers, sing in the green arched
cathedral
The heaven prompted mystery, 81 am, am. "
The rays of Sunshine shoot down through the
branches and touch the delicate ferns
and the blades of coarse grass piercing
up through last years dead leaves,
And all cry out together, II am"
We used to call upon all these works of the
Lord to praise the Lord, and they did
praise him,
But now they praise no longer, for they have
been taught a new song, and with one
accord they chant the 81 am
I, too, would learn the new music, and begin
hesitatingly to take part In the world
wide choir practice.
After all these quiet private rehearsals
At last in my own place you may look for me
also in the vast eternal chorus,
And we all of us, as you see US, are but mouth
pieces.
Who is it that behind and beneath sings ever
through US, now whispering, now thun-
dering, 81 amp

NOT Doing Che WORRYING.

81 have made discovery" said Mr..
Billtops, land that is that there is like
~ to be some one person in household
that does all the worrying. There may
be others that fret, and very likely fret
over trifing things, but the real worry
ing over things that have got to be done
and got to be looked after is usually all
done by one person. The person that
does the worrying in my house is Mrs.
Billtops. The children and myself and
all hands lean on her and expect her to
do everything. l don't know, but l sort
of think, that we expect her to provide
things whether we have any money or
not, and she certainly does seem to
make verything come out all right
somehow.
'Now, as rule, among men the man
who does the worrying gets paid for it.
He is usually the man at the head of an
enterprise or concern or department,
or whatever it may be, who is able to
do the work and willing to take the care
and responsibility of it. Those under
him may pile their cares upon him,
and he shoulders them-many man
easily. There are, thank goodness, plen-
ty of men that don't shy at responsible
ity.
"But these men get paid for what
they do, and Mrs. Billtops does not I'M
less she counts my appreciation as some
thing. The children don't realize what
she does They expect it. And, as for
me, the silent partner, if I don't stand
up and take the knocks, 1 think l ought
at least to put in more capital. New

We have been told by keen and in
telligent observer who has returned to
this city after a sojourn of two years
abroad that the average New Yorker is
becoming very careless with his Eng
fish not only does he tumble his words
together in every conceivable sequence,
but he makes gesture to supply noun
or verb and rattles off slang the analogy
of which is often Ineligible only to
himself. Without recalling for the mo-
ment any specific examples, we believe
our friend to be correct. He does not go
far enough, however; there is another
ode. If the New Yorker at times tries
to get an idea out in the fewest possible
words, on other occasions he is tediousIy
Pathological and prolix. One has only
to keep an open ear in car ride up
town to find confirmation for this.
Here, as though relaxing the exigency
of economy of speech that has been prac-
ticed while discussing affairs all day,
needless and endless repetitions take
place and the obnoxious II say" intro
duces half the phrases that are uttered.
We haven't any explanation to make,
however, or remedy to offer.-New

They boarded an east bound Market
street car at Forty first street. It was
after 1 O'Clock in the morning, and he
wanted to smoke, having probably Just
dined or supped at ball which was be-
ing given in the neighborhood. She
didn't want to smoke and she didn t
want to be separated from him.

ed.

But this didn't suit her.
eff you stay out here to smoke" she
retorted, "I'll stay right with you.
He looked at her a moment, and then
evidently concluded that she was bluff
ing. Pulling out a big cigar, he lighted
it, and, settling himself comfortably
against the dashboard of the car, he be-
gan to pull away as if his life depended
upon it. Nothing daunted, she took a
place alongside of him and calmly fold
ing her arms started up lively con-
versation.
The spectacle was an odd one, and at.
tracted the attention of every passenger
in the car as we'll as of those who got
on at various corners. He tried to urge
her inside the car number of times,
but she refused to 60. In this fashion
the two rode across the bridge and half
way to city hall before he weakened.
The anticipated jeers of the people he
knew would be on Market street in the
center of the city were too much for
him, and, throwing away the biggest
end of his cigar, he sullenly said,
We'll, if you won't go inside without
me l suppose I'll have to trot along. "
Then he took seat away up in the
front end, and she settled herself beside
him. Meanwhile the whole car smiled
audibly. Inquirer.
