—Rev. 1)r. Tannage preached from the
following text:—" And lirsy sung a
now song."—Rev, v. 0.
Nearly all the cities of Europe and
America have conservatories of mesio,
and association0, whose object it le, by
voice and instrument, to advance the
art of sweet sounds. On Thursday
nights, Exeter Hall, of London, used
to resound tvil.h the ruusio of first-olase
performers, who gave their services
igraLuilously to thfe mimeos, who came
in with free liekete, and huzzaed at
the entertainment. At Berlin, at Ma-
ven o'clook daily, the military banal,
with sixty or one hundred instru-
ments discourses at tbo royal opera -
house for the people. On Gaster Sun-
day, in Dresden, the boom of cannon
and the ringing of bells, bring mul-
titudes to the churches to listen Lo
the organ peals and the exciting sounds
of Lrumpot and drmn. When the great
fair -day of Leipsic cornea, the bands
of music from far and near, gather
in the street, and bewilder the ear
with incessant playing of Vale, and
horn violin, and bassoon. At Dussel-
dorf, once a year, the lovers of rasL0
assemble, and for three or four days
wail upon the groat singing festivals,
and shout at the close, of the choruses
and greet the sueoesslul competitors
as the prizes are distributed --cups and
vases of silver and gold. Those who
oan ring well or play skilfully upon
instruments aro greeted with vocifer-
ation, and garlanded by excited ad-
mirers.
There are many whose most ecstatic
delight is to be found in melodies; and
ell the splendour of celestial gates,
and all the luseiousnees of twelve man-
ner of fruits, and all the rush of
floods from under the throne of God,
would not make a heaven for them LL
there were no great and transporting
harmonies. Passing along our streets
in the hour• of worship. you hear the
veleta of sacred melody, although you
do net enter the building. And pass-
ing along the street of heaven, we

nificent jubilate. Wo may not yet en-

and Will was one of the obampions.
By nine o'clock the conveyances were
filled with happy children and their
teacher's, the provisions having a wagon
set spirt for their transportation, and
the village brass band leading the van.
Off they started, with noise of drum,
cornet, 010401101, kettle -drum, elm,
flags flying, and loud eheera from the
altildroi, A drive of eight miles
brought: them to the grove on the
lake — popular resort, provided
with long taller, swings; pavilion,
etc. They entered the grounds with
a grand flourish of trumpets or rather
a rousing piece by the band.
The children eeattared in every direc-
tion, while their elders busied them -
seine preparing the refreshments,
When all was ready, the big drum
summoned all hands to dinner. After
singing, "Be present at Our Table,
Lord,"they attacked the good things
with a will, cake, sandwiches, lemonade,
Dandy, fruit, disappearing as if by mag-
na, before the hungry youngsters. It
was delightful to dine in the open air,
protected from the sun's rays by the
spreading branches of Lho tall forest
trees, and Hewn, to the merry chatter
of the children, and watch the steam-
ers and sailing vessels gliding by on
the blue waters of the lake.
When dinner was over, the business
of Llie day began In earnest. First, there
were races for the little ones, five years
and under. This afforded a great
deal of amusement. One little tot tod-
dled along *bravely long after the rest
girls' ranee, boys' races, jumping
hmacl reached their goal. There wore
atches, etc,
'Say, Will, there is a prize of two
dollars offered for the one who wins

it. He's awful anxious about it. Guess

easy, though,"
So said Tom Satmders, Will's chum,
He was a year older than Will. This
talk put. Will on his mettle. He hated
to bo beaten above all things; he eared
more for that than the money.
When they were preparing for the
race, he noticed Jack's eager, excited
Moe, and suddenly remembered some-
thing he had hoard his mother say that
very morning about how hard up the
Martins were. Mr. Martin had been ill
for some Lime, and Mrs. Martin herself

News of the greatest embezzlement
story of this generation comes from
London. Not until G. It Birl, chair-
man and managing director of the
Mllwall Dock Company, disappeared us
silently and mysteriously as a cloud in
a summer sky was it discovered and
announced that his accounts were short
$10 00,000, and that the alleged em-
bezzlement had been going on for at
least twenty years without suspicion
or detection,
The Milwall Dock Company is one of
the richest corporations in Lho world.
Nothing has been heard of Mr. Birt
sauce his mysterious disappearanoe.
His wife has advertised in the English
papers for him, expressing faith in his
integrity, and imploring him to return
and set matters straight. When Mr.
Birt went away from home, taking with
him only
A SMALL HANDBAG,
it was understood by his family that
he was going away only for the night.
Not until he had been away from the
office two or three days was inquiry
made for him. Then an investigation
was started in his amounts, and a
shortage 0t. at least $1,200,000 OUO is
al-
leged
l-
to el to have been discovered. The
officials of. the NILl.wall Dock Company
are very reticent about it. Almost
all that has been learned came from
Mr. Bart's family, who express con-
fidence that he is alive somewhere and
that ho w•il1 rehire to explain matters
to the entire satisfaction of everybody
concerned.
For about twenty years Mr. Birt has
been a responsible man with the com-
pany and gradually worked his way
up to the managing, directorship. His
employers and assoeiete dirootors ap-
pear to have had implicit eottfidence in
him. He is seventy years old, has
thirteen children and until this charge

cleaning that is more important than
the proper care of winter clothing and
renovating the closets, and this is
usually done before the rooms are dis-
turbed. Many people are fortunate in
having a small room that Is a general
receptacle for various kinds of storage,
and is supplied with doors and win-
dows for light and ventilation. Choose
a bright warm day for cleaning them,
remove every thing from Lhe room,
clean the shelves and mop the floor.
The latter should be painted or cov-
ered with oil cloth or matting, but
never with a woolen carpet. Then af-
ler drying, the store room will be
ready to put things in.
Heavy draperies should be thorough-
ly dusted and hung on the line to air
before putting them away. Choose a
large box so they will not have to be
folded often, and iay them in it care-
fully. Fasten the lid securely to
keep the dust out, and label the box
so there will be no trouble in finding
them when they are wanted again.
Blankets should be thoroughly washed
before they are put away, for to fail
to do this would be to invite moths.
Prepare a hot suds, put a little borax
in it, and with the aid of a washing
machine and wringer, the task is soon
accomplished. The borax softens the
water, hastens the cleansing process,
and keeps the blankets
soft and fleecy.
Soap should never be rubbed directly
upon the blanker but dissolved in the
water. Blankets should vol be wrung
by hand, but pressed between the rub-
ber rollers of a wringer, then shaken
out and pulled into shape before they
are hung on the line. 1f u gentle
breeze is blowing, it will help to re-
move the wrinkles and dry them quick-
ly. Every box, trunk or chest in
which woolen goods are kept should be
emptied, lined with clean paper and
powdered borax dusted over the but -
tom to keep the moths away.
Do not neglect to air your olosets
and store rooms frequently, for they
need it as much as the rooms' do; per-
haps more, for they are apt to have
a close, musty smell when this is ne-
glected. An hour at a time will be
enough, and the clothing will not get
very dusty in that length of time.
Furs and heavy woolen cloaks should
bo hung up in the large sacks that are
sold for that purpose. These sacks
are made of very heavy paper, wilb a
flap at the top that folds over and
buttons. They erre furnished with
hooks inside, 80 the garment Jan be
hung up without Wrinkling.
ATTCC RUBBISH.
A saving of attic rubbish year after
year is an unwarranted economy. So
many things are slowed away under
the supposition that some day such
articles may be wanted or may be
utilized in some wary. Many an attic
lot of put -away things would dress
