THE SOUL OF THE SINGER.

We read the song that is written
A few little, grotesque signs,
Arranged in a certain meter,
With rhymes at the end of the lines.
And by the sound or h meaning
Some chord in our hearts is stirred;
But the song in the soul of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
We Ri fall short of expression,
However We seek to linn
The picture within the spirit.
The painting is crude and dim;
So little is placed on canvas,
So much there must be inferredi
The song in the soul of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
Tow oft the message that's gathered
The reader himself puts therei
Now oft the message intended
Escapes and is lost in the air.
We miss the intangible something
That's back of the printed word.
The song in the soul of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
The one who best sees the picture
Is he with the soul for art;
The one who best reads the poem
Is he with the poet heart;
The thoughts that are rarest and sweetest
Are deepest from sight inferred.
The song in the soul Of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
We meet; yet are yelled in spirit;
Familiar. and yet unknown;
A realm in our Utmost beings,
In which were alone, alone;
In each is a strain peculiar
To no other mind conferred.
The song in the soul of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
There are yearnJngs that can't be spoken;
There are loves SO supremacy blest,
There are dreams so infused with heaven,
They neved can be expressed.
There are infinite inspirations,
BY which We are thrilled and spurred,
Like the song in the soul Of the singer,
a something that's never heard.
It may he in realms eternal,
The curtain shall backward roll,
Revealing the CLEANS of glory
That shine in the Utmost soul;
And then, the ideal vision,
No longer obscured and blurred.
The song in the soul of the singer,
Cnpent, shall at last be heard.

preserved in the names Of its alleys
and less improved localities.
Washington is no exception in this,
and a study of the names of it's alleys
must convince one that this is a mat
ter in which very little interest has
been taken by the citizens. In almost
every section of the city alleys are to
be found with amusing and surprising
names, behind many of which there
is doubtless a wealth of local history.
while in others nothing more than a
vagrant within or a passing fancy is ex-
pressed.
1t was not without meaning that a
certain section of Washington be-
tween the capitol and the Potomac
river came to be known, and is still
called "Bloodfeld." The name is less
deserved now than it once was, but in
the popular mind it will live on long
after the reason for it has lapsed:
Just as few people could recon
ellie themselves to speaking of the
stream that used to flow from the
north of Washington down past the
capitol by its official name. Thatnoble
stream, which was turned into a sewer
some years ago, stood on the maps
since the city was laid out as the Tiber
river, but thoughtless people were al
ways letting the cat out of the bag, and
revealing the plebeian origin of the
sparkling waters by referring to ii as
Goose creek"
Few people who know much about
Washington have failed to hear of
"HelPs bottom" although the condi-
tons which gave rise to that unkind
designation passed away years ago.
Without question, however, the i'm
mediate neighborhood where the
notorious TRIANGLE saloon used to

ff[AHAT discovery have you made
wv in your later years which
would modify your preaching if You
had to begin anew?"
L thought this a pretty good ques-
ton, and 1 waited for my friend, the
venerable minister, to reply. He
thought a moment, and then said:
1.-The discovery hat there is more
to be said than 1 once thought on
the other side of almost any ques-
tion.'
1t was my first term of school in
the Kentucky mountains. 1 had gone
out for my college vacation, and was
having a very comfortable time
among the hospitable, kind-hearted
people of the Cumberland mountains,
and was earning money toward my
next years expenses. Having few
textbooks in my school, except Web
ster's "Old Blueback" speller, I gave
the school oral lessons in other
branches. 1t was thus that the min
listers son learned from me that the
earth is round.
I am afraid I was not as tactful as
I ought to have been. AS / remem-
Der it, it seems to me a pity that I
was unable to conciliate the father,
or to assure him hat his son was not
in danger from my teaching. AT last
he took the boy out of school, say
ing that while his progress vas sat
isfactory in other things, he could

The event made no small stir in the
community. Some people agreed
with the minister and some with the
teacher. The man with whom /
boarded, an intelligent man and a
member of the legislature, proposed
a public discussion of the question.
1t was at a "stir-of" that we ar
ranged for the debate. The minister
owned a cane mill, and took it from
farm to farm in the season, grinding
out the cane juice and boiling the
san into molasses. The sap which
had boiled several hours was ready
TO be dipped into kegs at night, and
a merry throng surrounded the fire
and waited for the pan to come off.
When they lifted it off and the mo-

whitfield paddles came into requisl-
ton. All hands scraped the edges OF
the nan where the molasses was thick
est. licked the paddles clean and came
again.
I had had molasses enough, and
was watching the crowd around the
IAN. when the minister came to me
with a challenge to a public debate.
7 accepted, and we quickly arranged
the details amid a hum of merry
voices and occasional laughter about
the pan.
II was agreed that the minister
should call as his colleague another
minister from Laurel county; that /
should find another school-teacher to
assist me; that the debate should oc-
cnpy two evenings; that on each
nioht the four speakers should con-
snme three-quarters of an hour apiece
in opening, and the leaders a half
bo,r each in closing. The plan was
the same for both evenings, except
hat the two sides were to alternate
IN opening and closing; the teachers
had to close; the preachers began

The Top Side Of the Earth.
A TRUE STORY.

BY Rev. w. E. Barton.

The following story is reprinted from
the New York Independent, and is pre-
coded in hat publication by a note from
the editor of the Independent which adds
interest to the story, and which we also
reproduce:
Ia recent article in The Independent by
our excellent friend, "Dicast," refers to
the Rev. John Jasper. who was buried at
Richmond On the 4th Of April, as 'the last
outspoken defender of the old astron-
omy." The following article shows that
the statement is not quite correct. There
still live many thousands of such out
spoken defenders. DR.. Barton writes that
he prepared the paper which follows at
the same time hat he was writing his
story, Pine Knot" As the story pro-
gressed he found use for the incident,
and with slight notifications embodied
it in the story. Readers of the book
who may have supposed it an imaginary
event, and as such the reviews have
treated it, will see that it was essentially
true 20 fact. 1t is easier for reasonably
intelligent people to believe that 1.-The
sun do run" which was Brother Jasper's
way of putting it, than we may at first
imagined

The chief beauty of performing on

and yet correct playing. Everything
should be executed with strict ad-
herence to the text, but without ap-
parent effort and constraint. In prac-
ticing one should proceed conscien-
tiously, and constantly correct ones
self. But when playing, everything
should become natural and show spon-
