tention, for the reasons given Bete e, and
also for the conclusive reason that ha
enjoyed the affair immensely.
The affair in question wits held in a neat
little cherub, not far from the rural vil_
lage of Kirkton, and for the ocoasiou, the
church wee beautifully decorated with
evergreous. A very largo crowd assom-
ble3 long before the tiilie of commence
stent, attracted as much by the repttta,tiof
of the place for select entertainments in
the past as by the promisiug nature of the
proposed programme. When one did get
inside it gave one the feeling of a lemon
being squeezed, and the individual felt
himself in the position of a lemon seed.
The ladies who had previously pressed us
so much to go now pressed literally. In-
deed it seemed as if one might lose his
masculinity if not his personal identity ;
It was a jam which might readily have
'become jelly with some of u;. Finally we
obtained a seat autl soon were prepared
for any part of the programme, even
though it be dismissal, which we some
Ones felt would be quite coneeuial under
the very pressing circumstances. When
the programme began, however, five wil
finely became patient and forbearing ;
feelings of distress or thoughts of flight
were driven away under the matchless
spell of music, and displaced by the
delightful sensations which road music is
so capable of producing, Some excellent
renditions of the divine art were afforded
by a number of promising players and
vocalists, in which a lady and gentleman
from St Marys figured in a way favorable
to the growth of their' own reputation, anti
also conducive to the pleasure of the com-
pany. The Harmonic cub of London
were also prominent as instrumentalists
anti contributed greatly to the enjoyment,
general happiness and merriment of the
evening- Philosophers tvho telt us that
music hath charms to soothe the sinners
heart, would have found evidence in, this
night's p roceal ito affirm that the said
ed nga fir
charming influence extends to his boots
also, and that even the stove pipes—which,
created some confusion by attempting to
break the sculls of some who were objects
of their contempt -were also considerably
affected. After the fulfillment of this
very entertaining programme, in which
other skilled' performers took part, anion
whom we might mention Mr Scott, a
boealiot of great melody and power, the
dresents were distributed and a beautiful
isplay of. Chrietmasalities they were.
Many who were present were the recipents
of beautiful gifts ; the rest of us were
stoics: Indeed it took more sturdy i)idif-
ference than even an ancient follower of
Zeno possessed to 'maintain a manifest no -
affectedness on the eaart of those who came
out, minus. during this part of the pro-
gramme. The Sunday School Superintee-
dent then =minted the receipts of the
evening to be. e59 75, after which the dox-
ology was . sung and the audience, well
pleased with their investment dispersed
