An Old Song Explained.

, The Rev. John Howard, a Liy-
erpool minister, recently explain
ed the Song of Sixpence" to his
Pensioners as follows: Per
haps many who often repeat
Sing a Song of Sixpence' have
never heard this explanation of
its meaning. The four-and-twen-
ty blackbirds represent the four
and-twenty hours. The bottom
of the pie is the world, while the
top crust is the sky which over
reached it. The opening cf the
pie is the day dawn, when the
birds begin to sing, and surely
such a sight is fit for a king.
The king, who is represented as
sitting in his parlor counting his
money, is the sun, while the gold
pieces which slip through his fin
gers as he counts Ghem are the
golden sunshine. The queen,
who sits in the dark kitchen
(pantry?), is the moon, and the
honey with which she regales
herself is the moonlight. The
Industrious maid who is in the
garden at work before the sun
has risen is the day dawn, and
the clothes she hangs out are the
clouds, while the bird who so
tragically ends the song by nip.
ping off her nose, is the hour of
sunset"
