The Messiah was sung recently in
Philadelphia, and one of the anthems
rendered by the chorus had as its
theme, Eve have turned everyone to
his own way" AS anthems go this
sounded somewhat as follows: 1--WE
have turned, turned, turned-we have
turned every one, every one to his
own way-to his, to his own way, own
way-eyery one to his own way" The
anthem involved several pages of
music, and every time the chorus
sang I'VE have turned, turned, turned. !"

The Mockinq Bird sits MOANING.

During the period of dog days, say
old residents of Florida, the hooking
birds song is never heard. Prior to
that time he is almost an incessant
singer from morning until night. Even
on moonlight nights one seldom
awakes but the soft. sweet MARBLE of
this bird can be heard. During the
forty days Of extremely hot weather
naught but low chirp is heard. He
means about in a subdued manner as
though he were ashamed of his ability
to sing; indeed, he seems to have d.
vested himself of his accustomed friv-

inc he is doing penance for his past

He believes he has received a di-

yet, however, he has not succeeded in
gathering around him a congregation,
