Gladstone Liked to Sing.

Sir. Walter Parratt told at Oxiord an Interesting little story of Mr. Gladstone. He said he had been speaking to Mr. Gladstone of the great compasses unmusical people often possessed. “Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Gladstone, “I used to like to hear my voice. It rang Inside my head,,”. Of course, Mr. Gladstone was very fond of singing, and as a young man sang negro melodies with great gusto. -His eldest son composed many hymn tunes, and the present Viscount Gladstone sang in a choir for several years. —London Chronicle.
