Divan Pour.—In your issue of last
week I notice a reply to a correspond-
ence of the provioue week, concern-
ing the Sunabine choir. Gideon G.
Hood challenges me to find a more
peaceable choir than hia. All I can
eay is that if all other choirs are
fashioned after the same model as
that of Sunshine each must be a per-
fect little paradise in itself. I under-
stand that the choir sometimes has
little difficulties as to whore the =in-
here shall be seated, but of course
that can easily be remedied by each
one bringing a chair for himself or
herself, and then draw cuts as to
where the chairs shell be placed. Too
bad, is it not, that a lady should be
taken to task for talking during choir
rehearsal when the gentlemen have
so much to say themselves ? G. G.
EI. informs us that ho is not afraid
t0 fight, beaauee ho thinks he Cannot
conscientiously do so, but it does not
hurt his conscience to pall a mail a
liar in a friendly spat. By inserting
the above in the columns of your
paper, you will much oblige,
