THE TALE OF THE PANTRY MAN,

Sleep is a good thing for the Weary and a pine full of tobacco is balm to the tired nerves, but the late pantry man on the S. s. Dora can speak from experience on the drawbacks of mixing the two judi ciously.
 He who was the pantryman dozed ot' in his bunk last night while enoyiug a quiet smoke. About the time he was dreaming of fragrant fields and sunny dales, the pipe dropped over far enough to allow hot ashes to fall on the comfort. In due time g neat little smudge de- Yeloped and the fumes waftd up the nostrils of the slumbering pantry man and acted as sort of ana thaetic and put him so far under the influence of his dreams that he was unable to arise whn the outrag Il nerves of his upper lip protested at the burning off of half a mustache.
 Things might have gone bad with he who was the pantryman on the good ship Dora had not the mate received a whiff of scorched hair ani frizzling comfort.
 Mate Mellich was Johnny on the spot" with Q Pyrene and cooled off the overloaded bedding and assuag- ed the sting of the charred mustach
 Then up rose he of the pantry and at once packed up his earthly belongings and hied him hence. He will DO more of the Dora have, and another will preside at the pan try.-Seward Post.

Trust of a Bird,

A farmer in the neighborhood where I reside was crossing one of his fields one day when he was suddenly arrest ed by a skylark fiuttering down upon him and adhering to bis person in the most affectionate way. While he was wondering at its intentions a sparrow hawk, which had evidently been in close pursuit, swOoped past. Instant ly taking in the situation, he stood per fectly still for nearly five minutes, while the lark nestled COutentedly be- tween his feet. Thcn, seeming to rec ogniZe that ali danger was over, it left him. rose Into the air and began to sing in its loUdeSt and most jubilant tones. A birI whose love of freedom and aloOfneSs from human contact are proverDiaI, it seemed to have known with unerring instinct where to find a protector in its eXtrcmity.-LondOn Standard.

Church Music,

One cannot read tue Psulms without the conviction, which grows with every repetition, that he;C is the poetic vOic- ing of the deepest, highest and most intense experiences possible to the soul of man. They were intended for sing ing. and from tEe day of their use in the Jewish temple until now they have been the foundation of very many Of our sublimcst musical productions.
 It must not be overlooked that only the highest intelligence, the most vivid imagination and the deepest inspira- ton can bring forth works of the first order. If there is the commonplace to be found in church music it's cause is to be discovered in the human agent and not in the lack of inspiring force in religious feeling. g.-GeOrge Whitfield Andrews in Musical Quarterly.
