That Choir Mystery. If music is a means of worship, and worship an evidence of faith, and faith worketh repentance and repentance godliness, then surely harmony is a means of grace, and being so, should be preserved. Rut alas and alack! The golden bowl is bkoken, the silver chord is loosed (or something to that effect.) If it is meet that brethren should dwell together in unity, surely "sistren" should sing together in harmony. But alas and alackaday! Alto eays Soprano Is too fast, Soprano then avers that xlto is too slow; Tenor knows that both are wrong, while Bass directs a pitying smile to each and all. While none attack the motives of the others, each assails tbe judgment of the rest. Our boundless griif at this Bad state, would seek the soothing potion of unbroken silence, but stern duty bids us assume the armor, helm, and shield of truth, and thus arrayed defend the right. Rut who d what is right? From Aristotle down to date no logician pretends to regulate the reasoning of a choir. Philosophy gives no 6olace, poetry no balm, imag ination no excuse. Girls! Girls! Why did you leave that choir? In beauty, grace and loveliness each one surpasses all the rest. Yet, is there, perhaps, a smoldering spark of jealousy in the gentle breast of woman ? No! No! Perish the base thought. As well ask if there be balm in Gilead, or mud in Plymouth streets. Fatiferous discord h-is surely fastened its ophidian fangs in the vitals of poor Harmony, and, means of grace or otherwise, dear old Harmony is up against the real thing. The erstwhile singi sit in the congregation now wearing upon their graceful browa the priceless gems of memory and hope, while disconsolate Orpheus twangs with nerveless lingers on his tuneless lyre, and amid tears and moans and sighs unites his vow with theirs, that he is through with choirs. All of which is intended to teach, if anything, that a man should direct such things, or else girls should avoid politics eud stick to candy and ribbons. For Sale. Two cows, 630 each.
