Glory to God in the highest," broke in the full chorus, and the child no longer knew if she were in the body or not. Then came the soprano solo, ?Bei' joke Greatly 0 Daughter of Zion," and as the soloist rose in her place sh grew suddenly ill and would .have fal len if she had not been assisted froti the platform. The conductor went out and returned 'faith a troubled face. "It was only a temporary illness but ,he would not be able to sing immediate- . be 'Would not same one among the chorus soprani take her place for this solo?" There was a sensation among the firsi. sopranos and a nervous 'turning of scores, but no one moved or seemed likely to move. After a breathless, expectant moment, a small figure stepped into the soprano sOktist's place ; a small figure in a plain black dress and with ungloved hands,1 moving as if not of its own volition. The conductor was startled but not iv -holly surprised, and without waiting an ihsta.nt, raised his baton. The vio- lins swept in with the introductory movement and then out poured that clear voice with its strangely resonant, eympathetie quality, singing, "Re- joice, rejoice greatly, 0 daughter of Zion." The stirred, audience held its breath, persons rising in their seats to see this email figure in black with floating hair, but she saw only her mother's face in a distant corner of the hall and the con- ductor's baton saingiug steadily • like the hand of fate. She stood with the closed score in her clasped hands, perfectly still, with up- lifted face and swelling throat, singing with a marvelous conception of the spirit of the theme on to the clos- ing, "Behold thy King coineth unto -thee." And to the vast audience He seemed leerily at hand. There broke out an uncontrollable storm a applause and the child, fright- ened, now drew hack into her place in the chorus ranks. When the concert was ended, some enthusiastic persons in the audience gathered about the conductor to inquire concerning the impromptu solo singer. He gladly told them the little she knew and the more he suspected, anti from that night the child's fortune was as- sured. There was no lack of interest or means to procure her the best possible training. And truly happier days had come. The poor mother laid aside her needle and lived to see the child the most cel- ebrated singer in the land,flartford Times. aml Americas 6 earf Lance Tooth nteeti.

The Brain looked up in a startled way and waited for the hard, brazen, brutal, sneering Cheek to speak. _ • Well," began the Cheek, tilting back his chair, and taking up the Office scissors and beginning to cutehiet nails : "it Seems we meet again. Every now and then you run across my path,and though you get most emphatically worsted in every encounter you have with me, you will try to 'bob up serenely' • f" The world ought to be big enough foh both of us," 'said the Brain, meekly. • " And so it is," answered the Cheek, "if you would oily keep in your place; but that you won't. You're always get- ting in my way; you are always trying to do something. you don't know how toe do ; you are everlastingly monkeying with things that I alone am capable of - handling ; you are invariably putting your oar into things that belong to my especial province.

Uses to Which Paper May Be Put. Paper, being nearty air -tight, will ex- clude cold, and should be used more than it now is. ' Builders placepaper between the boards and clapboards of a -house, and we sh uld do well to follow , their ; example in small matters. Farmers have found that he extra warmth secured by tacking sevaral thicknesses of newspapers around the inside of hen -houses; etc., has saved extra food. A layer of paper under a carpet is .preferable to straw, which is isoinetimes used, and if the paper Made for this purpose cannot be obtained, several layers of newspapers will do nearly as well. Papers spread between bed coverings will take the place of extra blankets. A folded iaper is an excellent lung -protector; one over the chest and another around the shoul- ders, under the outside garment, would save a cold, and perhaps pneumonia. Dissolved i in flour -paste, newspapers make a useful filling for cracks in floors and elsewhere. Scraps of paper, wet, and stattered ovet the floor,when sweep- ing, will save the cruet in the room as well as brighten the carpet. Bits of paper, with soap suds, are 4effectual in cleaning betties, and are easily removed with the lwater. Greasy dishes and kettles, if first rubbed with paper, wash much easier ; the paper absorbs the grease, and is all the better for kindling the fire. A grease spot can Often be taken out of a carpet or garnient by placing three layers of paper over it, then put a Itvatin iron on the paper. The heat softens the grease and the paper absorbs it, and by changing paper and iron occasionally, all the grease will disappear. Soft newspaper or tissue paper, is preferable to cloth for cleaning lamp chimneys, windows, mirrors, etc.; asit leaves no lint; also for knives, spoons, and tinware after scouring; and a stove will not need blacking as often if now and then rubbed with paper: Scraps Of writing paper, or that used on one side only, may be utilized in several ways. Bowls and glasses withont covers inarlse used for jelly, by cutting a round of paper the size of the top,dip in brandy and press down evenly upon the jelly, cut another cover of soft paper large enough to paste down on the outside of the jar. . P.aper in bread and cake tins protects -the loaf from burning, and in- sures its safe removal from the tin; by this help a 1 tin with holes in it may be used. Laid over a loaf of cake in the oven, paper is a sure protection, but un- less it is warmed first the :cake may settle. Cut in strips and curled with the scissors! aiiriting paper makes a.good filling for pillows for, hammocks, or the large pillows sometimes used to show off the elaborate "shams." Postal cards and thin pastehoard can be cut in thin strips for lamp -lighters ; newspapers for the same Use are cut in strips and rolled. -Anna Barrows, in Good Housekeep- ing. IMPORTANT NOTICES.
